EXHIBIT 99.1 ProPetro Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2023 MIDLAND, Texas, November 1, 2023, (Business Wire) – ProPetro Holding Corp. ("ProPetro" or "the Company") (NYSE: PUMP) today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2023. Third Quarter 2023 Results and Highlights • Total revenue of $424 million. • Net Income was $35 million ($0.31 per diluted share), a 5th consecutive quarter of net income. • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $108 million, or 25% of revenue. • Capital expenditures of $59 million. • Published our first ProPetro ProEnergy ProPeople Sustainability Report for 2023. • Successfully commissioned our first FORCESM electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet. • Effective frac fleet utilization was 15.5 fleets compared to 15.9 fleets in the prior quarter. • Repurchased and retired 1.9 million shares during the quarter with total repurchases of 4.2 million shares representing approximately 4% of outstanding shares since plan inception in May 2023. • Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $118 million with Free Cash Flow(2) of approximately $27 million. (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is described and reconciled to net income (loss) in the table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” (2) Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is described and reconciled to cash from operating activities in the table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures." Management Comments Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to build on our momentum with yet another quarter of strong financial results. Thanks to solid execution by the ProPetro team, we continue to execute on our strategic priorities. We are excited to have deployed our new and innovative FORCESM electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet offering. The hard work and dedication of the ProPetro team and our partners and customers were critical in making this a success. The FORCESM electric-powered fleets along with our Tier IV DGB dual-fuel fleets are part of our strategy to transition our equipment to more desirable assets delivering premium value to our customers while lowering emissions through industry- leading natural gas substitution. This first FORCESM fleet deployment was a major milestone for the Company and I cannot be more pleased with how our team has rallied to optimize this deployment and begin preparation for our next FORCESM deployment later this month." Mr. Sledge continued, "Financial performance remained strong during the third quarter despite some market pressures. We believe our financial results were more durable due to our bifurcated premium completion services coupled with our next-generation equipment, located primarily in the prolific and resilient Permian Basin. Our investments in new technologies, optimizing our business, and commitment to a disciplined pricing and asset deployment strategy resulted in another quarter of strong net income. Our team is excited to continue to deliver our differentiated services to our customers and we expect our strategy to continue to generate improved financial returns for all our stakeholders.” David Schorlemer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "The third quarter was an example of the resilient business we're building at ProPetro. We are focused on our strategy that is ideally-suited for the continued


 
EXHIBIT 99.1 industrialization of the oilfield. The Company produced strong Free Cash Flow within the quarter. As we've communicated over the last several quarters, our strategy, our investments, the disciplined approach, and opportunistic investments were designed to create opportunities to share value with shareholders. By the end of this year, we will have invested nearly $1 billion over the past two years in transitioning our fleet and bringing state-of-the-art technologies and completion services to ProPetro, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity. We believe our prudent strategic actions are creating meaningful, long- term value and position us to deliver for our customers and shareholders through the market cycle. Accordingly, we have now retired approximately 4% of our outstanding shares since the initial share repurchase authorization in May of 2023. With a strong balance sheet and clear line of sight to continued free cash flow generation, we are well-positioned to deliver improved shareholder value creation." Third Quarter 2023 Financial Summary Revenue was $424 million, compared to $435 million for the second quarter of 2023. The 2.6% decrease in revenue was attributable to slightly decreased utilization, pricing impacts, and job mix in our hydraulic fracturing and wireline businesses with our cementing business recording record revenues during the quarter. Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $52 million relating to cost of services, decreased to $292 million from $298 million during the second quarter of 2023. The 1.8% decrease was attributable to the decreased operational activity levels across our hydraulic fracturing and wireline operating segments. General and administrative expense of $29 million was unchanged from $29 million in the second quarter of 2023. G&A expense excluding nonrecurring and noncash items (stock-based compensation and other items) of $5 million, was $24 million, or 5.6% of revenue. Net income totaled $35 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $108 million from $113 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to slightly lower activity and pricing during the quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $118 million as compared to $114 million in the prior quarter. Free Cash Flow was approximately $27 million as compared to Free Cash Flow of approximately $6 million in the prior quarter. Share Repurchase Program In May 2023, the Company announced a $100 million share repurchase program. During the quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 1.9 million shares for $19 million. Since inception, the Company has acquired and retired 4.2 million shares representing approximately 4% of its outstanding shares as of the date of plan inception.


 
EXHIBIT 99.1 Liquidity and Capital Spending As of September 30, 2023, total cash was $54 million and our borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter of 2023 was $180 million including cash and $126 million of available capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Capital expenditures incurred during the third quarter of 2023 were $59 million, the majority of which related to maintenance capital expenditures and the last deliveries of the Company's Tier IV DGB dual-fuel conversions. Net cash used in investing activities during the third quarter of 2023 was $91 million. Guidance The Company expects full-year 2023 incurred capital expenditures to be slightly above $300 million as compared to $365 million of incurred capital expenditures in 2022. Frac fleet effective utilization is expected to be between 13 to 14 fleets during the fourth quarter. Outlook Mr. Sledge added, “Looking ahead, we are on track to deploy our second FORCESM electric frac fleet in 2023, with deployment of our third and fourth fleets planned for the first half of 2024. We believe that electric equipment will play a significant role in the future of ProPetro and are pleased to see strong demand for our FORCESM electric frac fleets. Additionally, with our strong balance sheet, we continue to make excellent progress on our strategic initiatives, and we will continue to seek value-accretive acquisition opportunities to further enhance our cash flow profile. We will do all of this in a disciplined and opportunistic manner, prioritizing only high-return prospects that will enhance free cash flow and create incremental shareholder value.” Mr. Sledge concluded, “As we approach the end of 2023, we continue to deliver for our customers and advance our strategy to enhance value for our company and shareholders. Despite the recent market slowdown, demand for our next generation offerings has not waned. Our strategy is designed to generate durable returns in the current market environment and through the cycle. As our dedicated blue-chip customers seek reliable completion services at competitive costs, ProPetro is uniquely positioned to provide quality service, a young, next generation equipment offering and operational density in the Permian. This differentiation continues to insulate ProPetro from some of the market inconsistency seen in other basins and in the spot market. As we continue to optimize our operations and industrialize our business, modernize our fleet, and seek opportunistic transactions in line with our commitment to disciplined capital deployment, we are confident in ProPetro’s ability to generate enhanced shareholder returns for years to come.” Conference Call Information The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 AM Central Time on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, to discuss financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2023.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) loss (gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) other expense (income), (iv) other general and administrative expense (net) and (v) retention bonus and severance expense. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash from operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

© 2023 ProPetro Holding Corp. All Rights Reserved. 3 This presentation references “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Free Cash Flow,” which are non-GAAP financial measures. We define EBITDA as net income plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus (i) loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) other expense (income), (iv) other general and administrative expense (net) and (v) retention bonus and severance expense. Free cash flow (FCF) is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus net cash used in investing activities. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be an alternative to any measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and the results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Further, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, and our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. Adjusted EBITDA in the periods prior to 2023 does not include the impact of expensing fluid ends.

Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Matt Augustine, Director of Corporate Development and Investor Relations for ProPetro Holding Corp. Please go ahead. Matt Augustine - Director of Corporate Development and Investor Relations: Thank you and good morning. We appreciate your participation in today’s call. With me today is Chief Executive Officer, Sam Sledge; Chief Financial Officer, David Schorlemer; and President & Chief Operating Officer, Adam Munoz. This morning, we released our earnings results for the third quarter of 2023. Please note that any comments we make on today’s call regarding projections or our expectations for future events are forward-looking statements covered by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. We advise listeners to review our earnings release and risk factors discussed in our filings with the SEC. Also, during today’s call we will reference certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in our earnings release. Finally, after our prepared remarks, we will hold a question-and-answer session. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Sam. Sam Sledge - Chief Executive Officer: Thanks, Matt and good morning, everyone. Building on our strong momentum, ProPetro is pleased to report another solid quarter as we continued to execute on our strategy. We have been squarely focused on generating robust earnings, increasing free cash flow, and building towards enhanced shareholder returns and value distribution. I’m glad to report that in the third quarter we achieved a decrease in our CapEx spend coupled with continuing strong profitability and activity that resulted in much improved


 
                EXHIBIT 99.3 Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call Scripted Remarks  November 1, 2023, 8:00 am CT 2 free cash flow. Importantly, we expect these trends will continue as supported by three primary factors. First is our ongoing transition from legacy equipment to next generation assets. Over the past two years we have made significant progress transitioning our hydraulic fracturing assets to more efficient and lower-emissions equipment and we expect our total investment to reach nearly one billion dollars by the end of the year as we bring additional state of the art technologies and services to ProPetro. With these investments largely behind us, we are poised to begin fully realizing the benefits of our fleet transformation going forward. In the third quarter we took delivery and deployed our first electric fleet as part of our FORCESM offering. We now have 7 Tier IV DGB dual-fuel fleets and one FORCESM electric fleet operating, and the demand for our next generation services remains strong. We’ve already seen fantastic results in the first two months that our first electric fleet has been in the field with high efficiencies and strong customer satisfaction. We expect to begin to take delivery and deploy our second FORCESM electric fleet over the next month, with the following two electric fleets expected to be delivered and deployed in the first half of 2024. This is a clear testament to the differentiated demand that this equipment garners. The second area that’s supporting our results is our Silvertip Wireline business. As you know we made our first entry into wireline services through our acquisition of Silvertip in November 2022, and it continues to be a strong tailwind for our earnings power and free cash flow leverage. We’re thrilled with the success of this acquisition and will continue to evaluate and pursue strategic transactions to accelerate value creation as part of our balanced approach to capital allocation. On that same note, we’ve also recently executed a non-binding letter of intent for a small bolt- on acquisition that helps us expand our cementing business. We expect to close that transaction before year-end and are excited to add additional scale in this operating segment. Another core element of our capital allocation philosophy is our share repurchase program, which is the area of focus aligned with our strategy to create value for our shareholders. We continue to execute on the $100 million program that our Board authorized in May. Our strong earnings results thus far in 2023 demonstrate the significant value of our strategy and our ability to execute. Despite the recent headwinds, which I will cover in more detail in a moment, we remain confident in the Company's current and future financial and operational performance, and we believe that our stock presents a unique, high-return investment opportunity due to the


 
                EXHIBIT 99.3 Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call Scripted Remarks  November 1, 2023, 8:00 am CT 3 substantial discrepancy between our equity value and our financial results. David will give more specifics on the repurchase program soon. As I’ve mentioned previously, we sidelined one fleet during the third quarter to avoid running it at sub-economic levels. We strongly believe in this disciplined approach and are committed to only running fleets that earn a full cycle cash-on-cash return. Despite running one fewer fleet, we were able to achieve an effective utilization of 15.5 fleets as compared to 15.9 last quarter. This strong utilization is a testament to our highly-desirable equipment, industry-leading field performance, dedicated fleet strategy, and the hard work and dedication of our team. This high level of service we provide everyday is what our customers have come to expect. I’d now like to move on to address ProPetro’s longer-term opportunities. We remain bullish on North American onshore service potential over the next several years. We believe we are still in the early stages of a sustainable up-cycle that will be supported by the industrialization of the North American oil and gas industry. Looking ahead, we are confident in our Company’s ability to continue to advance our strategy and encourage our shareholders to focus on the long-term value creation potential of the business. David will talk more about our guidance in a moment, but I would like to comment that we expect our fourth quarter to be challenged by normal seasonality, holidays, and budget exhaustion. It is important to note that we believe budget exhaustion this year is more correlated to the increased efficiencies that service providers such as ourselves provide to our customers. We are proactively working with our customers to mitigate the impact, but anticipate a modest decline. As it pertains to 2024, we believe the first half of the year will be an improvement over the second half of 2023 as a result of normalization of oil prices and more rigs coming back online into the first half of 2024. On a broader note, we believe the upstream E&P industry is in a slow-to-no growth environment where the appetite for capacity expansion throughout the hydrocarbon value chain is low. However, we think this benefits sophisticated service providers, like ProPetro, and we are confident we have the right strategy in place to continue creating value for both our customers and our shareholders. Moreover, the recent transactions in the E&P space reinforce that our disciplined approach to capital deployment is the right strategy for ProPetro. We offer outstanding service quality, next


 
                EXHIBIT 99.3 Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call Scripted Remarks  November 1, 2023, 8:00 am CT 4 generation equipment, and we have a terrific customer portfolio and advantaged operational density in the Permian, all of which insulates us from some of the market volatility outside the Permian and in the spot market. Our goal in this regard is to deliver the most value-enhancing services at the lowest risk to the E&P space consolidators. Our fleet conversion and service-line expansion with Silvertip is an illustration of that value-enhancing strategy. Lastly, one of our top priorities in positioning the Company for long-term success is maintaining a strong balance sheet. This will enable ProPetro to achieve its goal to remain resilient through market conditions while also allowing the Company to be opportunistic on value accretive M&A transactions that will further accelerate free cash flow generation, as well as shareholder returns. Now I’ll turn the call over to David to discuss our third quarter financial results. David. David Schorlemer - Chief Financial Officer:  Thanks, Sam and good morning, everyone. Just like last quarter, we have some great news to discuss today regarding our financial performance and progress in our strategic initiatives. The third quarter represented ProPetro’s fifth consecutive quarter of net income. We also achieved a breakout quarter in terms of our free cash flow generation as noted in our earnings release of $27 million which we believe to be strong and sustainable going forward. Adj. EBITDA less incurred CapEx is $49 million this quarter compared to $(2) million last quarter so the cadence and significance of cash flow is progressing as we had expected. As part of our commitment to shareholder returns, we also retired approximately 1.9 million shares during the third quarter for $19 million in repurchases. We are pleased that our share price has increased by approximately 50% since the inception of the repurchase program. It’s clear that investors are beginning to appreciate the longevity of this cycle and the value proposition we have created through the dramatic reconfiguration of ProPetro. On top of the share repurchases, we also paid down $15 million of our ABL during the quarter. Moving on to our third quarter financial results. The Company generated $424 million of revenue, net income of $35 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $108 million. Notably, we generated these strong results despite lower activity in our hydraulic fracturing and wireline businesses. Of note, our cementing business recorded record revenues and profitability during the quarter.


 
                EXHIBIT 99.3 Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call Scripted Remarks  November 1, 2023, 8:00 am CT 5 As Sam mentioned, our effective frac fleet utilization of 15.5 fleets exceeded our guidance of 14 to 15 fleets. Consistent with our disciplined asset deployment strategy and the fourth quarter headwinds, our fourth quarter 2023 guidance for frac fleet utilization is 13 to 14 fleets. Moving on to more details of our capital structure. We reported $59 million of incurred CapEx in the third quarter, which we believe has begun to normalize. Further, we expect our incurred CapEx for the full year to be slightly above $300 million, reduced from $365 million in 2022, and we expect capital spending to step down further in 2024. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong to support the execution of our strategy. As of quarter end, total cash was $54 million and our borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million with Total Liquidity of $180 million. With the continued decline in capital spend, we expect liquidity to continue to improve into 2024, thereby enabling greater allocations to our capital returns strategy including M&A as Sam mentioned earlier where our Silvertip acquisition is generating an 80% EBITDA to free cash flow conversion ratio. This strategy and subsequent investments in our business are beginning to drive more durable performance and stronger returns. Returning to our share repurchase program for a moment, we have taken an aggressive approach to opportunistically repurchasing shares and it has been a huge success. Since the inception of the share repurchase program, we have retired approximately 4.2 million shares, which equates to nearly 4% of shares outstanding as of the inception of the program in May of 2023, returning approximately $36 million to shareholders. It’s important to note that, in addition to our share repurchases, our liquidity position remains strong, we have simultaneously invested in our business and paid down debt, and we have enhanced our ability to be opportunistic in the M&A market. We believe that ProPetro trades at a discount relative to its intrinsic value, and we remain committed to what we believe is an excellent investment opportunity through the share repurchase program. Additionally, as I have noted over the last few quarters, the Company’s balance sheet remains strong and we remain committed to disciplined capital deployment for the long-term. This strategy has enabled us to develop and install our capital-light long-term lease agreement for our FORCESM electric-powered frac fleets. This lease agreement reduces our capital requirements and improves our operating cost profile while enabling ProPetro to accelerate the transformation of our frac fleets to emissions-friendly assets that are in high demand in the

Our capital-light long-term lease agreement and our proven M&A architecture will strengthen ProPetro’s strategic capabilities and accelerate our free cash flow performance. Lastly, and as Sam touched on, we do believe we are in a low-to-no growth industrializing environment with customers that are disciplined in their capital spending. Our strategy is designed for the current market environment, and we are confident ProPetro will continue to deliver for our customers and shareholders through all phases of the market cycle. I will now turn the call back to Sam for some closing remarks. Sam Sledge - Chief Executive Officer: Thank you, David. Before we turn it over to Q&A, I’d like to summarize ProPetro’s value proposition and why we remain as confident as ever in our strategy and our long-term future. We are proud of the unmatched bifurcation that we offer, including having two thirds of our fleet equipped with next- generation capabilities by the end of the first half of 2024, and we expect continued strong demand for both our new and legacy assets, as well as our other services, moving forward. It is important to note that we believe our commercial architecture is best-in-class. Our sophisticated pricing model supports our asset deployment decisions, and accordingly, we will not sacrifice our fleet at the expense of pricing concessions. We believe this mindset and commitment positions ProPetro for strong performance in 2024 and beyond. Given recent E&P consolidation, we believe there are great opportunities ahead for ProPetro to be the service provider of choice for large-cap consolidators. ProPetro is in an ideal position to combine service integration with the deployment of industrial technologies, like our FORCESM electric offering, and we are working to enhance our partnerships with the large Permian producers. To summarize, our key priorities are optimizing our operations and industrializing our business to unlock free cash flow, continuing to transition our fleet in a capital light way and pursuing opportunistic value accretive transactions while returning capital to shareholders. We believe if we continue to execute on our priorities ProPetro will continue to build on its momentum and generate enhanced value for shareholders.


 
                EXHIBIT 99.3 Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call Scripted Remarks  November 1, 2023, 8:00 am CT 7 We also recently published our first inaugural ProPetro ProEnergy ProPeople Sustainability Report. This report tells the story of our approach to operating in a sustainable way by embracing our ProEnergy and ProPeople perspectives. Our desire to be a part of improving human flourishing in our world requires our best efforts at ProPetro to help our customers produce hydrocarbons safely, efficiently, and in an environmentally-responsible way and we will continue to execute our strategy to that end. I would encourage everyone to download the report from our website at propetroservices.com. I’d like to close by thanking the entire ProPetro team for their outstanding and safe performance this quarter and enabling our management team to move forward confidently with this strategy. It’s due to their hard work and dedication that we’re taking important strides forward for the benefit of our customers, ProPetro, and the environment through the integral role we play in the success of the Permian Basin and the overall energy system. With that, operator we can now open the line for questions. Closing Remarks by Sam Sledge - Chief Executive Officer: Thank you for joining us on today’s call. We hope you join us for our next quarterly earnings call. Have a great day.
