Solaris Energy Infrastructure Announces First Quarter 2025 Results, Signing of Joint Venture, Power Solutions Contract and Fleet Growth

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), today announced significant continued momentum within its business, along with first quarter 2025 financial and operational results.


First Quarter 2025 Summary Results

  • Revenue – Revenue of $126 million increased 31% sequentially from the fourth quarter 2024 due to activity growth within Solaris Power Solutions and Solaris Logistics Solutions.
  • Profitability

    • Net income of $13 million and $0.14 per diluted Class A share; Adjusted pro forma net income(1) of $14 million and $0.20 per fully diluted share
    • Total Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $47 million increased over 25% sequentially from the fourth quarter 2024

Joint Venture Highlights

  • Finalized Joint Venture; Upsized and Extended Commercial Contract – Solaris and a major data center client entered into a joint venture, Stateline Power, LLC (the “JV”). The power service commercial contract supporting the JV has been upsized to a total of approximately 900 megawatts (“MW”) of power generation capacity, compared to the previously announced 500 MW. The initial commercial contract tenor has been extended to seven years from six previously.
  • Financing – The JV has executed a term sheet and is finalizing definitive documentation for up to $550 million in the form of a senior secured term loan facility which is expected to support a majority of the capital needs of the JV. The Company’s first quarter expenditures included its cash equity investment in the JV and the partner will contribute its pro rata share of cash equity in the second quarter of 2025.
  • Ownership Structure – No change to previously announced structure of 50.1% Solaris-owned and 49.9% customer-owned.

Business and Financing Update

  • Continued Fleet Expansion – Following the upsizing of the commercial contract to support the JV, Solaris’ power generation fleet had limited open capacity. During the first quarter, Solaris secured approximately 330 MW of new generation capacity with expected deliveries beginning in the second half of 2026. Solaris is in active discussions with multiple customers to deploy this open capacity. Additionally, Solaris expects any potential tariff-related impact on the new equipment order to be 5% or less of the original purchase price.
  • Pro Forma Operated Fleet of 1,700 MW – Solaris’ total operated capacity is expected to be approximately 1,700 MW (approximately 1,250 MW owned, net of the JV) by the first half of 2027.
  • Guidance Update – Maintaining Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $50-55 million for second quarter 2025 and establishing third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $55-60 million.

CEO Commentary

“I am excited about the momentum we are seeing across the power sector and believe that our offerings will play a significant and value-added role to this broad-based demand growth. Our contracted fleet expansion provides visibility to continue growing the Company’s earnings, which will help us drive total shareholder value while maintaining a balanced and attractive financial profile,” commented Bill Zartler, Solaris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“We are also excited to solidify our partnership with an industry leader and fast mover in the artificial intelligence computing space to provide power for their newest data center campus. The power that will be provided by our joint venture was increased by approximately 80% to 900 MW for an extended tenor of seven years. We believe this joint venture demonstrates Solaris’ value as a partner and in its ability to deliver reliable prime power while also providing redundancy and complementary backup to grid power. Additionally, we have secured meaningful new generation capacity to meet the continued demand we see for power, whether it is co-located, off-grid, or back up.”

“Solaris Logistics Solutions activity increased significantly from fourth quarter 2024 levels due in part to a seasonal rebound in activity but also from adding new customers that needed a solution that could keep up with the completions efficiencies they are achieving on their well sites. We will continue to seek opportunities to create value for other potential Logistics Solutions customers by continuing to demonstrate our ability to enhance well site efficiencies via our all-electric, high-throughput systems and dedication to service.”

Segment Results and Outlook (3)

Solaris Power Solutions(4)

  • First Quarter 2025 Activity – Averaged approximately 390 MW of capacity earning revenue.
  • Second and Third Quarter 2025 Expected Activity (2) – Revenue generating capacity is expected to grow to an average of 440 MW and 520 MW in the second and third quarters of 2025, respectively.
  • Revenue – First quarter 2025 revenue of $49 million is expected to grow sequentially with additions to capacity.
  • Profitability – First quarter 2025 Segment Adjusted EBITDA (1)(3) of $32 million increased 35% from fourth quarter 2024 due to growth in owned MW as well as increased contribution from third-party leased capacity. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow in line with expected average MW generating revenue in the second and third quarters of 2025.

Solaris Logistics Solutions

  • First Quarter 2025 Activity – 98 fully utilized systems, up 26% sequentially from fourth quarter 2024.
  • Second and Third Quarter 2025 Expected Activity (2) – Approximately 90 to 95 fully utilized systems in second quarter 2025 and potential activity softness in third quarter 2025 should commodity prices remain at or below current levels.
  • Revenue – First quarter 2025 revenue of $77 million increased 24% from fourth quarter 2024. The increase reflected a seasonal increase in customer activity as well as the addition of new customers.
  • Profitability – First quarter 2025 Segment Adjusted EBITDA (1)(3) of $26 million increased 36% from fourth quarter 2024 primarily due to the increase in fully utilized system count. The Company expects second quarter 2025 per system profitability to be relatively in-line with first quarter 2025 levels.

About Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted pro forma net income and Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. Although management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Solaris’ overall financial performance, the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

SEGMENT REPORTING

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

We report two distinct business segments, which offer different services and align with how our chief operating decision maker assesses operating performance and allocates resources.

Our reporting segments are:

  • Solaris Logistics Solutions – designs and manufactures specialized equipment that enables the efficient management of raw materials used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells. Solaris’ equipment-based logistics services including field technician support, software solutions, and may also include last mile and mobilization services.
  • Solaris Power Solutions – provides configurable sets of natural gas-powered mobile turbines and ancillary equipment. This segment primarily leases equipment to data center and energy customers and is focused on continuing to grow its services with these customers as well as across multiple commercial and industrial end-markets.

We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, and certain non-cash items and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.

Summarized financial information by business segment is shown below. The financial information by business segment for prior periods has been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We use them to assess our results of operations because it allows us, our investors and our lenders to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of varying levels of interest expense due to our capital structure, depreciation and amortization due to our asset base and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.
