John Turner, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The acquisition of Moser Energy Systems is a platform investment that provides Atlas with exposure to the production-end of the oil and gas value chain, along with new distributed power end-markets. The acquisition strengthens Atlas's market position as a leading provider of energy solutions and we expect the acquisition to help mitigate the volatility of future cash flows. This acquisition, coupled with our January equity offering, provides the company with a compelling runway for future growth. We expect 2025 to be a year of operational excellence as we continue to ramp up Dune Express operations, execute upon our leading last-mile and logistics platform, and look to enhance our new distributed power solutions offerings."

Year End 2024 Financial Results

Total sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $442.0 million, or 72.0% when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, to $1.1 billion. Product sales increased $47.3 million, or 10.1% when compared to the prior year, to $515.4 million.

The increase in our cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase in product and service sales associated with the addition of the Hi-Crush operations acquired in March 2024, higher costs incurred in the second and third quarters of 2024 due to fire-related temporary loadout operations at one of our Kermit facilities, our operational improvement initiatives, and delays in dredge commissioning.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $57.6 million, or 118.5% when compared to the prior year, to $106.2 million. Included within our SG&A is $22.4 million in stock-based compensation and $19.2 million in other acquisition related costs.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $59.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $288.9 million.

Fourth quarter sales volumes decreased to 5.1 million tons or by 15%, coupled with lower average pricing recognized during the period. Service sales decreased by $16.2 million, or 10.2%, sequentially, to $142.9 million.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 cost of sales decreased by $34.3 million, or 15.2%, sequentially, to $191.0 million, which consists of product costs of sales, inclusive of royalties, of $66.7 million and services cost of sales of $124.3 million. SG&A for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $0.05 million, or 0.2%, sequentially, to $25.5 million. Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $14.4 million, representing an increase of $10.5 million, or 269.2%, sequentially.

The Company had $70.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $0.2 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $512.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, driven largely by costs associated with the construction of the Dune Express, the acquisition of Hi-Crush, and additional OnCore deployments.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 110,217,322 shares of its commons stock, par value $0.01 per share ("common stock"), outstanding.

 

Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Moser Energy Systems

On February 24, 2025, Atlas acquired Moser Acquisition, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Moser Engine Service, Inc. (d/b/a Moser Energy Systems) ("Moser"), a leading provider of distributed power solutions, in a transaction valued at $220.0 million (the “Moser Acquisition”). The transaction consideration included $180.0 million of cash and approximately 1.7 million shares (the “Stock Consideration”) of common stock, valued at $40.0 million based on the 20-day trailing volume-weighted average price ending at the close of trading on Friday, January 24, 2025. The Stock Consideration is subject to revision for customary post-closing adjustments. For 90 days following the closing, all or any portion of the Stock Consideration is subject to redemption at the option of Atlas, with any such redemption to be paid in cash. For more information regarding the transaction, please refer to the Company’s website at https://ir.atlas.energy/ for the acquisition press release and related presentation.

Underwritten Public Offering of Common Stock

On February 3, 2025, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $23.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $264.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $254.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,725,000 additional shares of its common stock.

The Company used $171.3 million of the net proceeds it received from the Offering to repay indebtedness, including a portion of its secured PIK toggle seller note and outstanding borrowings under its ABL facility. The remainder of the net proceeds may be used to fund the redemption of the Stock Consideration, if exercised by the Company, subject to market conditions, and for general corporate purposes, including power-related growth capital expenditures following completion of the Moser Acquisition.

 

2025 Term Loan Credit Facility

On February 21, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC (“Stonebriar”), as administrative agent and initial lender, pursuant to which Stonebriar extended Atlas LLC a term loan credit facility comprised of a $540.0 million single advance term loan that was made on February 21, 2025 (the “2025 Term Loan Credit Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from the 2025 Term Loan Credit Facility (i) to refinance the existing 2023 Term Loan Credit Facility and the ADDT Loan, (ii) to finance the cash consideration for the Moser Acquisition, and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

 

Quarterly Cash Dividend

On February 11, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board") declared a dividend to common stockholders of $0.25 per share, or approximately $30.4 million in the aggregate to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, to assess our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of development activities, provide views on capital resources available to organically fund growth projects and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends or reinvest to organically fund growth projects over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis.

 

These measures do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.
