- Costs - Risk 1Our power services contracts are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could prevent us from realizing expected revenues.
We have entered into contracts to provide power generation services and equipment in connection with infrastructure and utility projects, including (i) the Utility Support Contract announced in March 2026, under which we are coordinating the installation of up to 50 MW of power generation equipment to support federal disaster recovery initiatives, and (ii) the PREPA Contract announced in August 2026, a 10-year agreement to support a 400 MW natural gas-fired power generation project for the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA"), under which we are providing our proprietary PWRtek platform, including up to 40 MW of primary power generation capacity. In each case, our ability to generate and sustain revenue under these contracts is dependent upon the successful execution and continued operation of projects involving third-party participants over whom we have limited or no control. With respect to the PREPA Contract, approximately 90% of the project's power generation capacity and execution is being provided by third parties. Our ability to realize the expected revenues under that contract is dependent upon the successful completion and continued operation of the overall project by all participants. With respect to the Utility Support Contract, the initial term is six months and is subject to extension at the customer's option; initial power generation under the contract has been paused due to infrastructure delays, and there can be no assurance that the contract will be extended beyond the initial term or that the delays will be resolved. These power services contracts are subject to numerous risks and contingencies outside of our control and contractual scope, including, but not limited to: securing adequate and uninterrupted fuel supply; obtaining and maintaining permits and governmental approvals; establishing and maintaining grid interconnection; satisfying bonding and financing requirements; timely delivery of third-party equipment; construction execution and scheduling by other project participants; power interruptions and grid instability; integration of systems provided by multiple contractors; changes in government policy, funding priorities, or utility governance; geopolitical instability or armed conflict; and hurricanes, tropical storms, landslides, flooding, and other severe weather events. Any one or more of these factors could result in significant delays, increased costs, contract termination, or failure to complete a project, which could materially impair or eliminate our ability to generate revenue under these contracts. There can be no assurance that these projects will be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all, or that, even if completed, they will generate the expected level of revenues over their respective contract terms. Our power services business is an emerging line of business for the Company, and we have limited operating history in providing infrastructure-scale power generation services. As we pursue additional power services opportunities, including potential expansion into grid power, data center support, and other infrastructure verticals, we could encounter similar third-party execution risks, as well as risks related to scaling operations, managing capital commitments for equipment, and entering new regulatory environments.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 40
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Certain anti-takeover provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation and applicable Delaware law could discourage or prevent others from acquiring the Company, which may adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock.
The Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that, among other things: - permit the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, shares of preferred stock, in one or more series and, with respect to each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of the series;- prohibit stockholders from calling special meetings;- limit the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;- prohibit cumulative voting; and - require advance notice for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to the board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of stockholders. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law limits business combinations with owners of more than 15% of the Company's voting stock without the approval of the board of directors. The aforementioned provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company exclusive of negotiation. The Company's board of directors could choose not to negotiate with an acquirer deemed not beneficial to or synergistic with the Company's strategic outlook. If an acquirer were discouraged from offering to acquire the Company or prevented from successfully completing a hostile acquisition by these anti-takeover measures, stockholders could lose the opportunity to sell their shares at a favorable price. ProFrac Holdings, LLC, together with its affiliates, beneficially owned approximately 61% of our common stock as of March 13, 2026 making them our largest shareholder. This level of ownership of shares of our common stock could have the effect of discouraging or impeding an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The Company may issue shares of preferred stock or debt securities with greater rights than the Company's common stock.
Subject to the rules of the NYSE, the Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue one or more additional series of preferred stock and to set the terms of the issuance without seeking approval from holders of common stock. Currently, there are 100,000 preferred shares authorized, with no shares currently outstanding. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank senior to common stock in terms of dividends, priority and liquidation premiums, and may have greater voting rights than holders of common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The Company may issue a substantial amount of securities in connection with future acquisitions, and the sale of those securities could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock or other securities.
As part of our growth strategy, we may issue additional securities, or securities that have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our other securities. We may file future shelf registration statements with the SEC that we may use to sell securities from time to time in connection with acquisitions. To the extent that we are able to grow through acquisitions and are able to pay for such acquisitions with shares of our common stock or other securities, the number of outstanding shares of common stock or other securities that will be eligible for sale in the future is likely to increase substantially. Persons receiving shares of our common stock or other securities in connection with these acquisitions may be more likely to sell large quantities of their common stock or other securities, which may influence the price of our common stock or other securities. In addition, the potential issuance of additional shares of common stock or other securities in connection with anticipated acquisitions could lessen demand for our common stock or other securities and result in a lower price than would otherwise be obtained.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Future issuance of additional shares of common stock could cause dilution of ownership interests and adversely affect the Company's common stock price.
The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 240,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company may, in the future, issue previously authorized and unissued shares of common stock, which would result in the dilution of current stockholders' ownership interests. Additional shares are subject to issuance through unexercised warrants, equity compensation plans or through the exercise of currently outstanding equity awards. The potential issuance of additional shares of common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the Company's common stock. The Company may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in order to raise capital or effectuate other business purposes. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the price of the Company's common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5The Company's common stock is thinly traded; therefore, our stock price may fluctuate more than the stock market as a whole and it may be difficult to sell large numbers of our shares at prevailing trading prices.
As a result of the thin trading market for shares of our common stock, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small, our stock price may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole or the stock prices of similar companies. Without a larger public float, shares of our common stock will be less liquid than the shares of common stock of companies with broader public ownership, and as a result, it may be difficult for investors to sell the number of shares they desire at an acceptable price. Trading of a relatively small volume of shares of our common stock may have a greater effect on the trading price than would be the case if our public float were larger. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the likelihood that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be maintained, your ability to sell your shares of our common stock when desired or the prices that you may obtain for your shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6The market price of the Company's common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.
The market price of the Company's common stock is subject to significant fluctuations. The following factors, among others, could cause the price of the Company's common stock to fluctuate: - variations in the Company's quarterly results of operations;- changes in market valuations of companies within the Company's industry;- fluctuations in stock market prices and volume;- fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices;- issuances of common stock or other securities in the future, including warrants convertible into the Company's common stock;- additions or departures of key personnel;- inability of either party to perform its obligations under our agreement with ProFrac Services regarding the purchase of our chemicals or with ProFrac GDM regarding the lease of our equipment;- announcements by the Company or the Company's competitors of new business, acquisitions, or joint ventures; and - negative statements made by external parties about the Company's business in public forums. The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have affected the price of common stock of companies within many industries including the oil and natural gas industry. The price of the Company's common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little to do with the Company's operational performance, and these fluctuations could materially reduce the Company's stock price. The Company could be a defendant in a legal case related to a significant loss of value for the shareholders. This could be expensive and divert management's attention and Company resources, as well as have an adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition or securities.
