CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include statements about our business strategy, our industry, our future profitability, expected capital expenditures and the impact of such expenditures on our performance, management changes, current and potential future long-term contracts and our future business and financial performance. In addition, our forward-looking statements address the various risks and uncertainties associated with the extraordinary market environment and impacts resulting from both the coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the continued volatility in global oil markets, and the expected impact of these events on our businesses, operations, earnings and results.
A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs at the time they are made, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, unless required by law.

SOLARIS OILFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE, INC.Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollars in millions, except share data)
1. Organization and Background of Business
Description of Business
We design and manufacture specialized equipment, which combined with field technician support, last mile logistics services and our software solutions, enables us to provide a service offering that helps oil and natural gas operators and their suppliers drive efficiencies that reduce operational footprint and costs during the completion phase of well development. Our equipment and services are deployed across active oil and natural gas basins in the United States.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires “Solaris Inc.” or the “Company”) is the managing member of Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, LLC (“Solaris LLC”) and is responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Solaris LLC’s business. Solaris Inc. consolidates the financial results of Solaris LLC and its subsidiaries and reports non-controlling interest related to the portion of the units in Solaris LLC (the “Solaris LLC Units”) not owned by Solaris Inc., which will reduce net income attributable to the holders of Solaris Inc.’s Class A common stock.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for fair presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any interim period.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read together with Solaris Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto.
All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates relate to stock-based compensation, useful lives and salvage values of long-lived assets, future cash flows associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, net realizable value of inventory, income taxes, Tax Receivable Agreement liability, collectability of accounts receivable and estimates of allowance for credit losses and determination of the present value of lease payments and right-of-use assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). Under ASC Topic 606, revenue recognition is based on the transfer of control, or the customer’s
ability to benefit from our services and products in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services and products.
The majority of our contracts contain multiple performance obligations, such as work orders containing a combination of equipment, last mile logistics services, and labor services. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognize the related revenue as control of each individual product or service is transferred to the customer, in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligations. We measure progress using an input method based on resources consumed or expended relative to the total resources expected to be consumed or expended. We assess our customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including historical payment experience and financial condition and we typically charge our customers on a weekly or monthly basis. Contracts with customers are typically on thirty- to sixty-day payment terms.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table summarizes revenues from our contracts disaggregated by revenue generating activity contained therein for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s financial statements and any agreements utilizing LIBOR, including the Tax Receivable Agreement, but does not currently expect to have a material impact on our financial statements.
3. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. We manufacture or construct most of our systems. During the manufacturing of these assets, they are reflected as systems in process until complete. Modifications to existing systems,
including the expenditures for upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality, increased efficiency, or the extension of the estimated useful life, are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

4. Debt
On February 24, 2022, Solaris LLC executed the first amendment (the “2022 Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which was originally entered into on April 26, 2019, by and among Solaris LLC, as borrower, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The 2022 Amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to April 26, 2025 and modified applicable interest rates and repayment requirements.
The Credit Agreement consists of an initial $50.0 revolving loan commitment (the “Loan”) with a $25.0 uncommitted accordion option to increase the Loan availability to $75.0. As of September 30, 2022, we had $6.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and ability to draw $44.0 million.
Our obligations under the Loan are generally secured by a pledge of substantially all the assets of Solaris LLC and its subsidiaries, and such obligations are guaranteed by Solaris LLC’s domestic subsidiaries other than Immaterial Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement). We have the option to prepay the loans at any time without penalty.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement, following the 2022 Amendment, bear interest at either Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin, and interest is payable quarterly for alternate base rate loans or the last business day of the interest period applicable to SOFR loans. The applicable margin ranges from 2.75% to 3.50% for SOFR loans and 1.75% to 2.50% for alternate base rate loans, in each case depending on our total leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement requires that we pay a quarterly commitment fee on undrawn amounts of the Loan, ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% depending upon the total leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was approximately 5.61%.
The Credit Agreement requires that we maintain ratios of (i) consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, (ii) senior indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (iii) the sum of 100% of eligible accounts, inventory and fixed assets to the total revolving exposure of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 when the total leverage ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and total revolving exposure under the Loan exceeds $3.0. For the purpose of these tests, certain items are subtracted from indebtedness and senior indebtedness. EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, excludes certain noncash items and any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring gains, losses or expenses.
Following the 2022 Amendment, the Credit Agreement also requires that we prepay any outstanding borrowings in the event our total consolidated cash balance exceeds $20.0 on the last business day of every other calendar week, taking into account certain adjustments. Capital expenditures are not restricted unless borrowings under the Loan exceed $5.0 for any 180 consecutive day period, in which case capital expenditures will be permitted up to $100.0 plus any unused availability for capital expenditures from the immediately preceding fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Maturities of debt are as follows:

Of the unvested 1,332,244 shares of restricted stock, it is expected that 607,004 shares, 430,103 shares, and 295,137 shares will vest in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, in each case, subject to the applicable vesting terms governing such shares of restricted stock. There was approximately $10.5 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2022. The unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Solaris Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares.
The following table sets forth the calculation of income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

6. Income Taxes
Solaris Inc. is a corporation and, as a result, is subject to United States federal, state and local income taxes. Solaris LLC is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and therefore does not pay United States federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the Solaris LLC unitholders, including Solaris Inc., are liable for United States federal income tax on their respective shares of Solaris LLC’s taxable income reported on the unitholders’
United States federal income tax returns. Solaris LLC is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its status as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a combined United States federal and state expense for income taxes of $2.3 and $0.5, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a combined United States federal and state expense for income taxes of $5.9 and $0.1, respectively. The effective combined United States federal and state income tax rates were 16.8% and 26.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective combined United States federal and state income tax rates were 18.7% and 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Solaris LLC’s treatment as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.
The Company’s deferred tax position reflects the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting. The largest components of the Company’s deferred tax position relate to the Company’s investment in Solaris LLC and net operating loss carryovers. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset and additional paid-in capital for the difference between the book value and the tax basis of the Company’s investment in Solaris LLC. This difference originates from the equity offerings of Class A common stock, exchanges of Solaris LLC Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock, and issuances of Class A common stock, and corresponding Solaris LLC Units, in connection with stock-based compensation.
Based on our cumulative earnings history and forecasted future sources of taxable income, we believe that we will be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future. As the Company reassesses this position in the future, changes in cumulative earnings history, excluding non-recurring charges, or changes to forecasted taxable income may alter this expectation and may result in an increase in the valuation allowance and an increase in the effective tax rate.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, contains rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an “ownership change” to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the “ownership change.” An “ownership change” is generally defined as any change in ownership of more than 50% of a corporation’s stock over a rolling three-year period by stockholders that own (directly or indirectly) 5% or more of the stock of a corporation, or arising from a new issuance of stock by a corporation. If an ownership change occurs, Section 382 generally imposes an annual limitation on the use of pre-ownership change net operating loss carryovers to offset taxable income earned after the ownership change. We do not believe the Section 382 annual limitation related to historical ownership changes impacts our ability to utilize our net operating losses; however, if we were to experience a future ownership change our ability to use net operating losses may be impacted.
Payables Related to the Tax Receivable Agreement
As of September 30, 2022, our liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $72.6, representing 85% of the net cash savings in United States federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Solaris Inc. anticipates realizing in future years from certain increases in tax basis and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest as a result of Solaris Inc.’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for United States federal income tax purposes) of Solaris LLC Units in connection with our initial public offering or pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right (each as defined in the Solaris LLC Agreement) and additional tax basis arising from any payments Solaris Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
7. Concentrations
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 23% of the Company’s revenues.

13
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases. As of September 30, 2022, one supplier accounted for 12% of the Company’s accounts payable. As of December 31, 2021, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts payable.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Tax Matters
We are subject to a number of state and local taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to assessment and audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an assessment or audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we will have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. On June 16, 2022, Cause Number CV20-09-372, styled Solaris Oilfield Site Services v. Brown County Appraisal District, was presented to the 35th District Court of Brown County, Texas. The 35th District Court of Brown County ruled in favor of Brown County Appraisal District regarding the disqualification of our equipment for certain property tax exemptions. While we intend to vigorously appeal this ruling, we have recognized $3.1 in Accrued Liabilities and Cost of sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. No additional contingencies were recognized during the three months period ended September 30, 2022. If this litigation is ultimately resolved against us, in whole or in part, it is possible that the resolution of this matter could be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
Litigation and Claims
In the normal course of business, the Company is subjected to various claims, legal actions, contract negotiations and disputes. The Company provides for losses, if any, in the year in which they can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, there are currently no such matters outstanding that would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
See Note 9 “Related Party Transactions” for contingent payments related to contracts with customers.
9. Related Party Transactions
The Company recognizes certain costs incurred in relation to transactions incurred in connection with the amended and restated administrative services agreement, dated May 17, 2017, between Solaris LLC and Solaris Energy Management, LLC, a company owned by William A. Zartler, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. These services include rent paid for office space, travel services, personnel, consulting and administrative costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Solaris LLC paid $0.2 and $0.3, respectively, for these services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Solaris LLC paid $0.7 and $0.6, respectively, for these services. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company included $0.1 and $0.1, respectively, in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company included $0.1 and $0.1, respectively, of accruals to related parties in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company has executed a guarantee of lease agreement with Solaris Energy Management, LLC, a related party of the Company, related to the rental of office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters. The total future guaranty under the guarantee of lease agreement with Solaris Energy Management, LLC is $3.9 as of September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2022, THRC Holdings, LP, an entity managed by THRC Management, LLC (collectively “THRC”), held shares representing a 10.2% ownership of the Company’s Class A common stock and 6.9% total shares outstanding. THRC is affiliated with certain of the Company’s customers, including ProFrac Services, LLC (“ProFrac”) and certain of the Company’s suppliers including Automatize Logistics, LLC, IOT-EQ, LLC and Cisco Logistics, LLC (“Cisco”) (together the “THRC Affiliates”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenues related to our service offering provided to the THRC Affiliates of $2.9 and $13.6, respectively. Accounts receivable related to THRC Affiliates as of September 30, 2022 was $2.6. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized cost of services provided by THRC Affiliates of $1.4 and $3.1, respectively. There was $0.1 accounts payable related to THRC Affiliates as of September 30, 2022.
14
Solaris is the dedicated wellsite sand storage provider (“Services”) to certain THRC Affiliates. Solaris provides volume-based pricing for the Services and may be required to pay up to $4.0 in payments throughout a term ending in 2024, contingent upon the ability of these affiliates to meet minimum Services revenue thresholds. During the third quarter of 2022, Solaris paid $0.5 to THRC Affiliates related to these Services, which was recognized in revenues.
10. Subsequent Events
On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement to rent office space in Houston, Texas with a lease term of 10 years. Future rent payments and building operating costs under the lease will be approximately $13.9 million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Solaris Inc.” or the “Company” refer to Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires). The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated as discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described above in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by our subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law.
Overview
We design and manufacture specialized equipment, which combined with field technician support, last mile logistics services and our software solutions, enables us to provide a service offering that helps oil and natural gas operators and their suppliers drive efficiencies that reduce operational footprint and costs during the completion phase of well development. The majority of our revenue is currently derived from providing equipment and services related to our mobile proppant and fluid management systems and our last mile logistics management services. We also generate revenue from new technology and offerings that work in conjunction with our mobile proppant and fluid management systems, including our proprietary top fill equipment and AutoBlend™ integrated electric blender. Our equipment and services are deployed across active oil and natural gas basins in the United States.
Recent Trends and Outlook
Oil and gas supply and demand dynamics remained tight throughout the third quarter of 2022. Recent volatility in global markets driven by continued monetary policies to control inflation, continued geopolitical factors and the uncertainty of a potential global economic slowdown contributed to WTI oil prices declining from over $110 per barrel in July 2022 to $80 per barrel in September 2022. While commodity prices remain at healthy levels to support growth in North American drilling and completion activity, this growth continues to be impacted by capital discipline among many operators, supply chain tightness and elevated inflation.
The Baker Hughes Land rig count has increased 31% since the start of the year to 749 rigs at the end of September 2022, as compared to a 49% increase in our fully utilized systems since the fourth quarter of 2021. Overall, demand for our offerings is predominantly influenced by the level of oil and natural gas well drilling and completion activity. While our fully utilized systems are highly correlated with US land rig count activity over longer periods, timing differences between drilling and completion activity can result in lags of one to two quarters or longer. Recently, our fully utilized system count growth has outpaced the rig count trend due primarily to new technology-led growth with new and existing customers.
The sustainability of favorable supply-demand dynamics and a strong commodity environment will depend on multiple factors, including any supply chain disruptions, potential regulatory changes, uncertainty around a potential economic slowdown and potential impacts from geopolitical disruptions. Consolidation amongst some of our E&P and oil service customers combined with financial discipline from publicly traded energy companies has reduced industry-wide capital spending. Additionally, consolidation can drive procurement strategy changes, which has historically resulted in both market share gains and losses for the Company. We expect both consolidation and financial discipline will likely continue to be important themes for the energy industry going forward.

Revenue increased $42.9 million, or 87%, to $92.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $49.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue increased $122.7 million, or 108%, to $236.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $113.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily related to an activity-driven increase in demand for our products and services. Mobile proppant systems, on a fully utilized basis, increased from 59 and 55 systems for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, to 94 and 84 systems for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, in response to the increase in industry activity levels and by the introduction of new products.
Cost of Services
Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization expense increased $25.7 million, or 67%, to $64.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization expense increased $80.3 million, or 97%, to $163.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $82.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating costs to support an activity-driven increase in demand for our products and services. Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue was 70% and 69% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 78% and 73% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
17
Property Tax Contingency
We are subject to a number of state and local taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to assessment and audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an assessment or audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we will have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. On June 16, 2022, Cause Number CV20-09-372, styled Solaris Oilfield Site Services v. Brown County Appraisal District, was presented to the 35th District Court of Brown County, Texas. The 35th District Court of Brown County ruled in favor of Brown County Appraisal District regarding the disqualification of our equipment for certain property tax exemptions. While we intend to vigorously appeal this ruling, we have recognized $3.1 in Accrued Liabilities and Cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. No additional contingencies were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. If this litigation is ultimately resolved against us, in whole or in part, it is possible that the resolution of this matter could be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 25%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 20%, to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to increases in headcount and professional fees.
Other Operating (Income) Expense
Other operating (income) expense increased $3.2 million, or 119% to expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the income of $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Other operating (income) expense decreased $1.2 million, or 57% to income of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the income of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Other operating (income) expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relate to change in the TRA liability, credit losses, gain on insurance claims and other settlements, loss on disposal of assets, and costs related to the evaluation of potential acquisitions. Other operating expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relate to employee retention credits, credit losses, gain on insurance claims, transaction costs, and loss on disposal of assets.
Provision for Income Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a combined United States federal and state expense for income taxes of $2.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million as compared to the $0.5 million income tax expense we recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a combined United States federal and state expense for income taxes of $5.9 million, an increase of $5.8 million as compared to the $0.1 million income tax expense we recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This change was attributable to operating gains. The effective combined United States federal and state income tax rates were 16.8% and 26.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective combined United States federal and state income tax rates were 18.7% and 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Solaris LLC’s treatment as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.
Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income, plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense, including franchise taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results of operation and financial condition as reported in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA increased $12.9 million to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased $16.3 million to $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. EBITDA increased $35.3 million to $53.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased $40.5 million to $60.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The changes in EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the changes in revenues and expenses, discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit agreements and proceeds from equity offerings. Our primary uses of capital have been to fund ongoing operations, capital expenditures to support organic growth, including our fleet development and related maintenance and fleet upgrades, repurchase shares of Class A common stock in the open market, and pay dividends. Although no assurance can be given, depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may also have the ability to issue additional equity and debt if needed.
As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.4 million. We have $6.0 million in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement and have $44.0 million of available borrowing capacity. We believe that our cash on hand, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will provide sufficient liquidity to address our future cash needs, including capital expenditures, working capital investments, and dividends for the next 12 months and beyond.
Cash Flows

Significant Sources and Uses of Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $32.2 million in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to increased profitability from operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in investing activities of $44.2 million is primarily due to capital expenditures related to enhancements to our fleet and for new technologies.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities of $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to quarterly dividends of $14.7 million, payments under finance leases of $1.1 million and $1.1 million of payments related to vesting of stock-based compensation, offset by net borrowings under the credit agreement of $6.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities of $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to quarterly dividends of $14.4 million and $0.7 million of payments related to vesting of stock-based compensation.

Future Sources and Uses of Cash
Our material cash commitments consist primarily of obligations under our Credit Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement, finance and operating leases for property and equipment, and purchase obligations as a part of normal operations. We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022, except for purchase commitments under supply agreements disclosed below.
As of September 30, 2022, we expect to pay approximately $0.2 million in commitment fees on our Credit Agreement within the next twelve months, calculated based on the unused portion of lender commitments, at the applicable commitment fee rate of 0.375%. As of September 30, 2022, if our borrowings under the Credit Agreement remain at $6.0 million, we expect to pay approximately $0.3 million in interest within the next twelve months, calculated based on the weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2022 of approximately 5.61%.
As of September 30, 2022, we had purchase obligations of approximately $18.8 million payable within the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We had no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the amounts listed under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
None.
See Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Issued Accounting Standards” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), we meet the definition of an “emerging growth company,” which allows us to have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, however, we elected to opt out of such exemption (this election is irrevocable).
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off balance sheet arrangements. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such financing arrangements, except for purchase commitments under supply agreements.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2021.
Credit Risk
The majority of our accounts receivable have payment terms of 60 days or less. As of September 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 23% of our total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, two customers collectively accounted for 42% of our total accounts receivable. We mitigate the associated credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring the payment patterns of our customers. Please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information regarding credit risk of our customers.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Due to the nature of our business, we may become, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities. In the opinion of our management, there are no pending litigation, disputes or claims against us which, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
On June 16, 2022, Cause Number CV20-09-372, styled Solaris Oilfield Site Services v. Brown County Appraisal District, was presented to the 35th District Court of Brown County, Texas. The35th District Court of Brown County ruled in favor of Brown County Appraisal District regarding the disqualification of our equipment for certain property tax exemptions. While we intend to vigorously appeal this ruling, we have recognized $3.1 in Accrued Liabilities and Cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. No additional contingencies were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. If this litigation is ultimately resolved against us, in whole or in part, it is possible that the resolution of this matter could be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
