Pro Power Launch and Growth
ProPetro announced the launch of a new business line, Pro Power, with an initial order of 140 megawatts of natural gas power generation equipment. The company plans to expand this capacity further, focusing on both oilfield and potential industrial applications, including data centers.
High Utilization of Next-Generation Equipment
Approximately 75% of ProPetro's fleet consists of next-generation gas-burning equipment, which remains highly utilized and in strong demand. The company plans to deploy a fifth electric fleet in 2025.
Strong Free Cash Flow and Capital Discipline
Despite an 11% revenue decrease from 2023, ProPetro reduced capital expenditures by 57% and increased free cash flow over nine times to $118 million. The company also returned $111 million of capital to shareholders through its share repurchase program.
Cementing Business Strength
The cementing business, particularly in the Permian Basin, is highlighted as a bright spot with significant potential for growth and contributions to the company's financial strength.
