Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARIS) (“Aris,” “Aris Water” or
the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for
the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
THIRD QUARTER 2024
HIGHLIGHTS
- Increased produced water volumes 2% sequentially and 6% versus
the third quarter of 2023
- Increased recycled water volumes 25% sequentially and 16%
versus the third quarter of 2023
- Achieved net income of $16.4 million, a 34% increase versus the
third quarter of 2023
- Generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $54.3 million, up 9% sequentially
and up 21% versus the third quarter of 2023
- Achieved Gross Margin per barrel of $0.32 and Adjusted
Operating Margin per barrel2 of $0.45, a 13% increase in Adjusted
Operating Margin per barrel2 versus the third quarter of 2023
- Maintained a strong balance sheet with quarter-end leverage3 of
2.0X and $292 million of available liquidity under our revolving
credit facility
- Increasing our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1 outlook to $208 to $212
million
- Full year 2024 Capital Expenditure4 guidance of $98 to $105
million, consistent with prior guidance
“Aris had an exceptional third quarter as we continued to grow
our produced water volumes, increased our recycled water sales, and
maintained our strong margins. As we anticipated, our capital
investment to support these increased activity levels was primarily
deployed in the first half of the year and our capital spending in
the third quarter declined significantly. We continue to experience
steady volume growth and increasing cash generation. We anticipate
a strong finish to the year and are extremely proud of our team’s
efforts and results,” said Amanda Brock, President and CEO of
Aris.
“In addition to the great results in our core business, we
continue to collaborate with major operators to accelerate the
beneficial reuse of treated produced water outside of the oil and
gas industry. By year end, Aris and its partners will finish
testing the third of three desalination technologies for the
treatment of high salinity produced water. The pilot projects thus
far have successfully demonstrated the ability over time to lower
energy consumption costs and potential capital and operating costs
for the treatment of produced water. In 2025, we will be focused on
increasing the scale of these promising technologies and confirming
costs as we progress to commercialization.
We also continue to evaluate commercial opportunities for
mineral extraction from our produced water stream and are currently
selecting a site for an iodine extraction facility with a strategic
partner. We have also been approached by mineral extraction
companies who specialize in magnesium, ammonia, and lithium. In
2025, we expect to have further updates relating to future
potential revenues.
We are also progressing other strategic initiatives to further
lower our cost structure, deepen our relationships with our
existing customers and further diversify our customer base. We are
extremely excited about our progress and look forward to sharing
more details in the coming quarters.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2024
DIVIDEND
Aris’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on its Class A
common stock for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $0.105 per share. In
conjunction with the dividend payment, a distribution of $0.105 per
unit will be paid to unit holders of Solaris Midstream Holdings,
LLC. The dividend will be paid on December 19, 2024, to holders of
record of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the close of
business on December 5, 2024. The distribution to unit holders of
Solaris Midstream Holdings, LLC will be subject to the same payment
and record dates.
FOURTH QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK
“With three quarters now behind us, 2024 is shaping up to be a
record year for volumes, performance, and profitability. Based on
customers’ projected activity, we anticipate our growth will
continue through year-end on our dedicated acreage. Accordingly, we
are increasing our full year Adjusted EBITDA range to $208 to $212
million. Additionally, our forecasted capital expenditures for the
full year remain unchanged. We expect continued strong cash
generation to further enhance our balance sheet and support
increased shareholder returns over the long term.
Turning to 2025, we anticipate produced water volume growth in
line with our 2024 produced water volume growth and consistent with
oil production forecasts for the Delaware Basin. Our customers
continue to allocate significant capital to developing our
dedicated acreage. Our capital investment plans for next year will
depend on the growth rate of our customers as well as incremental
commercial opportunities. We currently anticipate, however, that we
will be able to grow alongside our existing customers at a similar
or lower level of capital investment to 2024.
We have made tremendous improvements in our margins this year
due to revenue escalation clauses in our contracts,
electrification, and cost reductions. Additionally, our operational
focus on skim oil recoveries led to significant increases in skim
oil yield in 2024. While there will be variability quarter to
quarter, we expect much of those increases to be sustainable in
2025 and beyond.
Consistent volume growth, additional margin progress, and
efficient capital investment in 2025 will provide us with increased
flexibility to allocate capital to both shareholder returns and
incremental growth projects. We are extremely optimistic about next
year and beyond.”
For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company expects:
- Produced Water Handling volumes between 1,080 and 1,110
thousand barrels of water per day
- Water Solutions volumes between 450 and 490 thousand barrels of
water per day
- Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel2 between $0.43 and
$0.45
- Skim oil recoveries of approximately 1,550 barrels per day
- Adjusted EBITDA1 between $51 and $55 million
- Capital Expenditures4 of $15 to $22 million, consistent with
previous full year 2024 guidance

Adjusted EBITDA, and Diluted Adjusted Net Income per Share and a
reconciliation thereof to net income, the most directly comparable
GAAP measure. 2 Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel is a non-GAAP
financial measure. See the supplementary schedules in this press
release for a discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted
Operating Margin per Barrel and a reconciliation thereof to gross
margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 3 Represents a
non-GAAP financial measure. Defined as net debt as of September 30,
2024, divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt
is calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. See the
supplementary schedules in this press release for a reconciliation
to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 4 Capital
Expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the supplementary
schedules in this press release for a discussion of how we define
and calculate Capital Expenditures and a reconciliation thereof to
cash paid for property, plant, and equipment, the most directly
comparable GAAP measure.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Information
The Company uses financial measures that are not calculated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin,
Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, Adjusted Net Income, net debt
and leverage ratio, and Capital Expenditures. Although these
Non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing the
Company’s operating results and cash flows, they should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or gross
margin or any other measures prepared under GAAP.
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss)
plus: interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, amortization
and accretion expense; abandoned well costs, asset impairment and
abandoned project charges; losses on the sale of assets;
transaction costs; research and development expense; change in
payables related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability as a
result of state tax rate changes; loss on debt modification;
stock-based compensation expense; and other non-recurring or
unusual expenses or charges (such as litigation expenses, severance
costs and amortization expense related to the implementation costs
of our new enterprise resource planning system), less any gains on
the sale of assets.
The Company calculates Adjusted Operating Margin as Gross Margin
plus depreciation, amortization and accretion. The Company defines
Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel as Adjusted Operating Margin
divided by total volumes handled, sold or transferred.
The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income as Net Income (Loss)
plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based compensation and plus or
minus the after-tax impacts of certain items affecting
comparability, which are typically noncash and/or nonrecurring
items. The Company calculated Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share
as (i) Net Income (Loss) plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based
compensation and plus or minus the after-tax impacts of certain
items affecting comparability, which are typically noncash and/or
nonrecurring items, divided by (ii) the diluted weighted-average
shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full
exchange of all outstanding LLC interests, adjusted for the
dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company calculates
its leverage ratio as net debt as of September 30, 2024, divided by
Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. Net debt is
calculated as the principal amount of total debt outstanding as of
September 30, 2024, less cash and cash equivalents as of September
30, 2024.
The Company calculates Capital Expenditures as cash capital
expenditures for property, plant, and equipment additions less
changes in accrued capital costs.
The Company believes these presentations are used by investors
and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison,
rating, and investment recommendations of companies within its
industry. Similarly, the Company’s management uses this information
for comparative purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Operating Margin, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, Adjusted
Net Income, and Capital Expenditures are not measures of financial
performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of
liquidity or as alternatives to net income (loss), gross margin, or
cash paid for property, plant and equipment. Additionally, these
presentations as defined by the Company may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be
considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as gross margin, operating
income, net income, cash paid for property, plant, and equipment or
cash flows from operating activities.
Although we provide forecasts for the non-GAAP measures Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, and Capital
Expenditures, we are not able to forecast their most directly
comparable measures (net income, gross margin, and cash paid for
property, plant, and equipment) calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements
of the composition of forward-looking GAAP metrics are not
predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such
elements include but are not limited to non-recurring gains or
losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or
expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue, which
could have a significant impact on the GAAP measures. The
variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and
potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. As a
result, no reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures is
provided.
