CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and certain other communications made by us contain 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 of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, among others, statements about our expected growth from recent acquisitions such as the PropX Acquisition (as defined below) and OneStim Acquisition (as defined below), expected performance, future operating results, oil and natural gas demand and prices and the outlook for the oil and gas industry, future global economic conditions, the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the impacts of the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, improvements in operating procedures and technology, our business strategy and the business strategies of our customers, in addition to other estimates, and beliefs. For this purpose, any statement that is not a statement of historical fact should be considered a forward-looking statement. We may use the words “estimate,” “outlook,” “project,” “position,” “potential,” “likely,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “achievable,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “continue,” “should,” “could” and similar expressions to help identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. We cannot assure you that our assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the risks described in this Quarterly Report and other filings that we make with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise and readers should not rely on the forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Liberty Energy Inc., formerly known as Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 21, 2016, to become a holding corporation for Liberty Oilfield Services New HoldCo LLC (“Liberty LLC”) and its subsidiaries upon completion of a corporate reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”) and planned initial public offering of the Company (“IPO”). On April 19, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of changing the Company’s name from “Liberty Oilfield Services Inc.” to “Liberty Energy Inc.” and thereafter, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the new name, effective April 25, 2022. The Company has no material assets other than its ownership of units in Liberty LLC (“Liberty LLC Units”). Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) for additional information on the Corporate Reorganization and IPO that were completed on January 17, 2018.

The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a leading integrated oilfield services and technology company focused on providing innovative hydraulic fracturing services and related technologies to onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies in North America. We offer customers hydraulic fracturing services, together with complementary services including wireline services, proppant delivery solutions, data analytics, related goods (including our sand mine operations), and technologies that will facilitate lower emission completions, thereby helping our customers reduce their emissions profile.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read together with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of operations, cash flows, and equity of the Company as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Further, these estimates and other factors, including those outside the Company’s control, such as the impact of sustained lower commodity prices, could have a significant adverse impact to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in the presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company’s operations are organized into a single reportable segment, which consists of hydraulic fracturing and related goods and services.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified from interest income to interest expense, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operation to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income or loss.

Note 3—The PropX Acquisition

On October 26, 2021, the Company entered into the certain Master Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Proppant Express Investments, LLC to acquire the assets and liabilities of Proppant Express Solutions, LLC (“PropX”), which provides last-mile proppant delivery solutions, including proppant handling equipment and logistics software across North America (the “PropX Acquisition”). PropX was acquired in exchange for $11.9 million in cash and 3,405,526 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and 2,441,010 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), for total consideration of $103.0 million based on the October 26, 2021 closing price of Class A Common Stock of $15.58. In connection with the issuance of 2,441,010 shares of Class B Common Stock, Liberty LLC also issued 2,441,010 Liberty LLC Units to the Company. The Liberty LLC Units are redeemable for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock at any time, at the election of the shareholder.

The Company accounted for the PropX Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities require significant judgments and estimates. The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, an acquirer is allowed a period, referred to as the measurement period, in which to complete its accounting for the transaction. Such measurement period ends at the earliest date that the acquirer a) receives the information necessary or b) determines that it cannot obtain further information, and such period may not exceed one year. As the PropX Acquisition closed on October 26, 2021 the Company is in the process of completing the initial purchase price allocation, particularly as it relates to current assets and current liabilities.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred in the PropX Acquisition and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of October 26, 2021, the date of the closing of the PropX Acquisition:

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $142.3 million and $114.8 million, respectively. Depletion expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Depletion expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that no triggering events that could indicate possible impairment of property and equipment had occurred, other than related to the assets held for sale discussed below.

Note 6—Leases

The Company has operating and finance leases primarily for vehicles, equipment, railcars, office space, and facilities. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset.

Certain leases include variable lease payments for items such as property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with leased assets. Payments that vary based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of lease assets and liabilities at the rate as of the commencement date. All other variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of lease assets and liabilities, and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company amended certain operating leases, the change in terms of which caused the leases to be reclassified as finance leases. In connection with the amendments, the Company wrote-off operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.2 million and liabilities of $0.1 million. Additionally, the Company recognized finance lease right-of-use assets of $1.8 million and liabilities of $1.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company amended certain finance leases, the change in terms of which caused the leases to be reclassified to operating leases. In connection with the amendments the Company wrote-off finance lease right-of-use assets of $6.3 million and liabilities of $4.9 million. Additionally, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of $5.4 million and liabilities of $4.1 million. There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of these amendments.

The Company’s vehicle leases typically include a residual value guarantee. For the Company’s vehicle leases classified as operating leases, the total residual value guaranteed as of June 30, 2022 is $13.1 million; the payment is not probable and therefore has not been included in the measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset. For vehicle leases that are classified as finance leases, the Company includes the residual value guarantee, estimated in the lease agreement, in the financing lease liability.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company leases dry and wet sand containers and conveyor belts to customers through PropX. PropX leases to customers through operating leases, where the lessor for tax purposes is considered to be the owner of the equipment during the term of the lease. The lease agreements do not include options for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term for either a stated fixed price or fair market value. However, some of the leases contain a termination clause in which the customer can cancel the contract. The leases can be subject to variable lease payments if the customer requests more units than what is agreed upon in the lease. The Company does not record any lease assets or liabilities related to these variable items.

The carrying amount of equipment leased to others, included in property, plant and equipment, under operating leases as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into two credit agreements, a revolving line of credit up to $250.0 million, subsequently increased to $350.0 million, see below, (the “ABL Facility”) and a $175.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the ABL Facility the “Credit Facilities”).

Effective July 18, 2022, the Company executed an amendment to the ABL Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment”) to exercise the option to increase the ABL Facility by $75.0 million, to $425.0 million, refer to Note 17—Subsequent Events for more information.

The weighted average interest rate on all borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 5.3% and 7.9%, respectively.

ABL Facility

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, up to $350.0 million may be borrowed, subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing base was calculated to be $350.0 million, and the Company had $150.0 million outstanding in addition to a letter of credit in the amount of $1.4 million, with $198.6 million of remaining availability. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate, plus an applicable LIBOR margin of 1.5% to 2% or base rate margin of 0.5% to 1%, as defined in the ABL Facility credit agreement. Additionally, borrowings as of June 30, 2022 incurred interest at a rate of 2.9%. The average monthly unused commitment is subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.5%. Interest and fees are payable in arrears at the end of each month, or, in the case of LIBOR loans, at the end of each interest period. The ABL Facility matures on the earlier of (i) October 22, 2026 and (ii) to the extent the debt under the Term Loan Facility remains outstanding, 90 days prior to the final maturity of the Term Loan Facility, which matures on September 19, 2024. Borrowings under the ABL Facility are collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, and further secured by the Company, Liberty LLC, and R/C IV Non-U.S. LOS Corp., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, as parent guarantors.

Term Loan Facility

The Term Loan Facility provides for a $175.0 million term loan, of which $105.6 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Amounts outstanding bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate, plus an applicable margin of 7.625% or 6.625%, respectively, and borrowings as of June 30, 2022 incurred interest at a rate of 8.687%. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments of 1% per annum of the outstanding principal balance, commencing on December 31, 2017, with final payment due at maturity on September 19, 2024. The Term Loan Facility is collateralized by the fixed assets of LOS and

its subsidiaries, and is further secured by the Company, Liberty LLC, and R/C IV Non-U.S. LOS Corp., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, as parent guarantors.

The Credit Facilities include certain non-financial covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on incurring additional debt and certain distributions. Moreover, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt and to make distributions is dependent on maintaining a maximum leverage ratio. The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory prepayments upon certain dispositions of property or issuance of other indebtedness, as defined, and annually a percentage of excess cash flow (25% to 50%, depending on leverage ratio, of consolidated net income less capital expenditures and other permitted payments, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2018). Certain mandatory prepayments and optional prepayments are subject to a prepayment premium of 3% of the prepaid principal declining annually to 1% during the first three years of the term of the Term Loan Facility.

The Credit Facilities are not subject to financial covenants unless liquidity, as defined in the respective credit agreements, drops below a specific level. Under the ABL Facility, the Company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility, of 1.0 to 1.0 for each period if excess availability is less than 10% of the borrowing base or $12.5 million, whichever is greater. Under the Term Loan Facility, the Company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of 1.2 to 1.0 for each trailing twelve-month period if the Company’s liquidity, as defined, is less than $25.0 million for at least five consecutive business days.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2022.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction on the reporting date. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability on the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company discloses the fair values of its assets and liabilities according to the quality of valuation inputs under the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.

•Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborating market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities that are initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborating market data is no longer available. Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, long-term debt, and finance and operating lease obligations. These financial instruments do not require disclosure by level. The carrying values of all of the Company’s financial instruments included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximated or equaled their fair values on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

•The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable (including accrued liabilities) approximated fair value on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to their short-term nature.

13

LIBERTY ENERGY INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

•The carrying value of amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates approximated fair value on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as the effective interest rates approximated market rates.

Nonrecurring Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but may be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. These assets and liabilities include those acquired through the PropX Acquisition, which are required to be measured at fair value on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 805. See Note 3—The PropX Acquisition.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $2.0 million of land and $6.0 million of buildings of one property that met the held for sale criteria, to assets held for sale at a total fair value of $5.7 million, which are included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimated the fair value of the property based on a purchase and sale agreement for one property, which is a Level 3 input.

Recurring Measurements

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents measured on a recurring basis pursuant to ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures are carried at estimated fair value. Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts which the Company has classified as Level 1 given the active market for these accounts. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash equivalents, measured at fair value, of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Nonfinancial assets

The Company estimates fair value to perform impairment tests as required on long-lived assets. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon internally developed cash flow models and would generally be classified within Level 3 in the event that such assets were required to be measured and recorded at fair value within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. No such measurements were required as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 as no triggering event was identified.

Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.    

The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances on deposit with financial institutions total $41.5 million and $20.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which exceeded FDIC insured limits. The Company regularly monitors these institutions’ financial condition.

The majority of the Company’s customers have payment terms of 45 days or less.

As of June 30, 2022 no customers accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenue. As of December 31, 2021, customer A accounted for 12% of total consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, customer A accounted for 10% of consolidated revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, no customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.

The Company mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring the payment patterns of its customers.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $0.9 million in allowance for credit losses as follows:

Note 11—Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per share measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. The Company uses the “if-converted” method to determine the potential dilutive effect of its Class B Common Stock and the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock and RSUs.

The following table reflects the allocation of net income (loss) to common stockholders and net loss per share computations for the periods indicated based on a weighted average number of common stock outstanding:

Note 12—Income Taxes

The Company is a corporation and is subject to taxation in the United States, Canada and various state, local and provincial jurisdictions. Liberty LLC is treated as a partnership, and its income is passed through to its owners for income tax purposes. Liberty LLC’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their share of Liberty LLC’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company may distribute cash from foreign subsidiaries to its U.S. parent as business needs arise. The Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries earnings, as such are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. If such earnings were to be distributed, any income and/or withholding tax would not be significant.

The effective global income tax rate applicable to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 1.1%, compared to (10.5)%, for the period ended June 30, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate is less than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% due to the Company’s full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets while calculating income tax expense on Canada operations that are not subject to a valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate is also less than the statutory rate because of the non-controlling interest’s share of Liberty LLC’s pass-through results for federal, state and local income tax reporting, upon which no taxes are payable by the Company. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $16.0 million and $8.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which included the impact of the initial recording of a valuation allowance on a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Per the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted on March 27, 2020, net operating losses (“NOL”) incurred in 2019 and 2020 may be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company has applied for and expects to receive a NOL carryback refund to recover $5.5 million of cash taxes paid by the Company in 2018. This amount has been reflected as a receivable in prepaids and other current assets line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining deferred tax asset for net operating losses available for carryforward are presented net of the Company’s valuation allowance.

The Company recognized a deferred tax liability in the amount of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company also recognized a deferred tax asset related to foreign jurisdictions in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company evaluated its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022 and considered both positive and negative evidence in applying the guidance of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Consistent with the prior quarter, in accordance with ASC 740, the objective negative evidence of remaining in a three year cumulative pre-tax book loss position, primarily due to COVID-19 related losses, outweighed the consideration of the Company’s subjective positive evidence of expected future profitability in evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

Tax Receivable Agreements

In connection with the IPO, on January 17, 2018, the Company entered into two Tax Receivable Agreements (the “TRAs”) with R/C Energy IV Direct Partnership, L.P. and the then existing owners that continued to own Liberty LLC Units (each such person and any permitted transferee, a “TRA Holder” and together, the “TRA Holders”). The TRAs generally provide for the payment by the Company of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the IPO as a result, as applicable to each TRA Holder, of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of the Company’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’s Liberty LLC Units in connection with the IPO or pursuant to the exercise of redemption or call rights, (ii) any net operating losses available to the Company as a result of the Corporate Reorganization, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments the Company makes under the TRAs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, exchanges of Liberty LLC Units and shares of Class B Common Stock initially resulted in a net increase of $6.5 million in deferred tax assets, and an increase of $5.5 million in amounts payable under the TRAs, all of which are subject to the valuation allowance and remeasurement of TRA liability discussed below, and which are recorded through equity. The Company did not make any TRA payments for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability under the TRAs was $41.9 million and $37.6 million, respectively, all of which is presented as a component of long-term liabilities, and the related deferred tax asset totaled $97.8 million and $91.3 million, respectively, of which a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset has been recorded. The Company also remeasured the liability under the TRAs as of June 30, 2022 and recorded a loss on remeasurement of liabilities subject to the TRAs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $4.3 million recorded as part of continuing operations. The

increase in the liability under the TRA is primarily driven by current additions of property and equipment and amortization of expected tax benefits that are subject to the valuation allowance, which are expected to be realized in the foreseeable future.

Note 13—Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan covering eligible employees. The Company has historically made matching contributions at a rate of $1.00 for each $1.00 of employee contribution, subject to a cap of 6% of the employee’s salary and federal limits. Contributions made by the Company were $6.0 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12.1 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

($ in thousands)
Remainder of 2022	$	27,365
2023	18,205
2024	4,200
2025	—
2026	—
Thereafter	—
	$	49,770

Certain supply agreements contain a clause whereby in the event that the Company fails to purchase minimum volumes, as defined in the agreement, during a specific time period, a shortfall fee may apply. In circumstances where the Company does not make the minimum purchase required under the contract, the Company and its suppliers have a history of amending such minimum purchase contractual terms and in rare cases does the Company incur shortfall fees. If the Company were unable to make any of the minimum purchases and the Company and its suppliers cannot come to an agreement to avoid such fees, the Company could incur shortfall fees in the amounts of $6.8 million, $5.8 million, and $0.7 million for the remainder of 2022 and the years ended 2023 and 2024, respectively. Based on forecasted levels of activity, the Company does not currently expect to incur significant shortfall fees.

Included in the commitments for the remainder of 2022 are $8.5 million of payments expected to be made to Schlumberger, in conjunction with a permissive use agreement provided by Schlumberger, in the third quarter of 2022 for the use of certain light duty trucks, heavy tractors and field equipment used to various degrees in OneStim’s frac and wireline operations. The Company is in negotiations with the third party owner of such equipment to lease or purchase some or all of

Note 17—Subsequent Events

On July 18, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility. The amendment amended certain terms, provisions and covenants of the ABL Facility, including among other things; (i) increasing the maximum borrowing amount by $75.0 million to $425.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, (ii) modified certain covenant and reporting-related baskets, and (iii) replacing LIBOR with the second overnight financing rate (SOFR) as the interest rate benchmark.

On July 25, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allows the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common Stock beginning immediately and continuing through and including July 31, 2024. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and expected free cash flow to be generated over the next two years.

No other significant subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs, and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the Annual Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A.–Risk Factors” included herein. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a leading integrated oilfield services and technology company focused on providing innovative hydraulic fracturing services and related technologies to onshore oil and natural gas E&P companies in North America. We offer customers hydraulic fracturing services, together with complementary services including wireline services, proppant delivery solutions, data analytics, related goods (including our sand mine operations), and technologies that will facilitate lower emission completions, thereby helping our customers reduce their emissions profile. We have grown from one active hydraulic fracturing fleet in December 2011 to over 30 active fleets as of June 30, 2022. We provide our services primarily in the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale, the DJ Basin, the Williston Basin, the San Juan Basin, the Powder River Basin, the Haynesville Shale, the SCOOP/STACK, the Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, and the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Additionally, we operate two sand mines in the Permian Basin.

On December 31, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Schlumberger’s OneStim business, which provides hydraulic fracturing pressure pumping services in onshore United States and Canada, including its pressure pumping, pumpdown perforating and Permian frac sand business, in exchange for consideration resulting in a total of 66,326,134 shares of the Class A Common Stock being issued in connection with the OneStim Acquisition. As of July 22, 2022, Schlumberger owned 12.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The combined company delivers best-in-class completion services for the sustainable development of unconventional resource plays in the United States and Canada onshore markets.

On October 26, 2021, the Company acquired PropX in exchange for $11.9 million in cash and 3,405,526 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,441,010 shares of Class B Common Stock, and 2,441,010 Liberty LLC Units, for total consideration of $103.0 million, based on the Class A Common Stock closing price of $15.58 on October 26, 2021, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Liberty LLC Units are redeemable for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock at any time, at the election of the shareholder. Founded in 2016, PropX is a leading provider of last-mile proppant delivery solutions including proppant handling equipment and logistics software across North America. PropX offers innovative environmentally friendly technology with optimized dry and wet sand containers and wellsite proppant handling equipment that drive logistics efficiency and reduce noise and emissions. We believe that PropX wet sand handling technology is a key enabler of the next step of cost and emissions reductions in the proppant industry. PropX also offers customers the latest real-time logistics software, PropConnect, for sale or as hosted software as a service.

We believe technical innovation and strong relationships with our customer and supplier bases distinguish us from our competitors and are the foundations of our business. We expect that E&P companies will continue to focus on technological innovation as completion complexity and fracture intensity of horizontal wells increases, particularly as customers are increasingly focused on reducing emissions from their completions operations. We remain proactive in developing innovative solutions to industry challenges, including developing: (i) our databases of U.S. unconventional wells to which we apply our proprietary multi-variable statistical analysis technologies to provide differential insight into fracture design optimization; (ii) our Liberty Quiet Fleet® design which significantly reduces noise levels compared to conventional hydraulic fracturing fleets; (iii) hydraulic fracturing fluid systems tailored to the specific reservoir properties in the basins in which we operate; (iv) our dual fuel dynamic gas blending fleets that allow our engines to run diesel or a combination of diesel and natural gas, to optimize fuel use, reduce emissions and lower costs; (v) the successful test of digiFrac™, our innovative, purpose-built electric frac pump that has approximately 25% lower CO2e emission profile than the Tier IV DGB; and (vi) our PropX wet sand handling technology which eliminates the need to dry sand, enabling the deployment of mobile mines nearer to wellsites. In addition, our integrated supply chain includes proppant, chemicals, equipment, logistics and integrated software which we believe promotes wellsite efficiency and leads to more pumping hours and higher productivity throughout the year to better service our customers. In order to achieve our technological objectives, we carefully manage our liquidity and debt position to promote operational flexibility and invest in the business throughout the full commodity cycle in the regions we operate.

Recent Trends and Outlook

While the global economic recovery outlook has softened on reverberating impacts from higher inflation, rising interest rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, oil and gas markets remain constructive. Today, low global oil and gas inventories, limited OPEC spare production capacity and a lack of refining capacity are concurrently being met with increased energy demand. Oil and natural gas demand growth is coming in part from the post-pandemic recovery in travel, China’s emergence from its enforced Covid lockdowns, plus seasonal demand. These are all further exacerbated by the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the potential for sanctions imposed on Russian oil exports, coupled with Russia’s decision to constrain natural gas pipeline exports to Europe.

North America is positioned to be a large provider of incremental oil and gas supply. Today, E&P operators are evaluating the opportunity to deploy incremental capital in North America to modestly grow production while remaining focused on shareholder priorities. Supply is restricted by a tight frac market, where equipment, supply chain and labor constraints limit frac fleet availability and service quality. Moreover, many operators desire modern, ESG-friendly frac fleet technologies that provide the opportunity for both emissions reductions and fuel savings.

The frac market is near full utilization and we expect the supply of available frac fleets to remain tight through the remainder of 2022. We were disciplined in restraining fleet reactivations in the post-Covid era but pricing has now recovered to where we, in support of our customers’ long-term development needs, are reactivating several of our recently acquired, available fleets. Importantly, these long-term, dedicated customers seek additional next generation fleets that are not readily available today, and we are providing an avenue to serve those customers and simultaneously driving free cash flow from these existing fleets to reinvest in our fleet modernization program.

During the second quarter of 2022, the posted WTI price traded at an average of $108.83 per barrel (“Bbl”), as compared to the second quarter of 2021 average of $66.19 per Bbl, and first quarter of 2022 average of $95.18 per Bbl. In addition, the average domestic onshore rig count for the United States and Canada was 810 rigs reported in the second quarter of 2022, up from the second quarter of 2021 of 508 and slightly decreased from the first quarter of 2022 of 816, according to a report from Baker Hughes.

Revenue

Our revenue increased $361.3 million, or 62.2%, to $942.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $581.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is attributable to higher service pricing and an activity-driven increase in fleet utilization and efficiency commensurate with increased demand for hydraulic fracturing services.

Cost of Services

Cost of services (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization) increased $191.8 million, or 36.7%, to $713.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $522.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The higher expense was primarily related to increases in materials and parts consumption and higher labor costs related to higher fleet utilization as well as ongoing inflationary increases impacting costs for materials, labor, and maintenance parts.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $12.8 million, or 43.4%, to $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to increases in performance-based variable compensation, labor cost inflation, and corporate costs related to increased activity.

Transaction, Severance and Other Costs

Transaction, severance and other costs decreased $0.8 million, or 26.8%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The costs incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to integration cost, investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional services provided in connection with the OneStim Acquisition. Such costs were lower during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as the integration efforts move towards completion.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $14.2 million, or 22.4%, to $77.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in 2022 was due to additional equipment placed in service since the prior year period and additional depreciation from property acquired in the PropX Acquisition.

24

Gain on Disposal of Assets

The Company recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the sale of used field equipment and light duty trucks in a strong used vehicle and equipment market compared to a gain of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to miscellaneous equipment disposals. All disposals recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were in the normal course of business.

Operating Income (Loss)

The Company recorded operating income of $110.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to operating loss of $36.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase in operating results of $146.6 million, or 407.2%. The increase in operating income is primarily due to the $361.3 million, or 62.2%, increase in total revenue only partially offset by a $214.7 million increase in total operating expenses, the significant components of which are discussed above.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net increased $4.6 million, or 988.7%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Other expense, net is comprised of loss (gain) on remeasurement of liability under the TRAs and interest expense, net. The Company remeasured the liability under the TRAs resulting in a loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, interest expense, net increased $1.1 million as a result of increased borrowings under the credit facility.

Net Income (loss) before Income Taxes

The Company realized net income before income taxes of $105.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net loss before income taxes of $36.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in income is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, as discussed above, related to the increase in activity and service pricing.

Income Tax Expense

We recognized a tax expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, at an effective rate of 0.2%, compared to a tax expense of $16.0 million, at an effective rate of (43.9)%, recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the Company recording a valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets, beginning in the second quarter of 2021, resulting in income tax expense for that period, while in subsequent periods no tax expense or benefit is recognized on U.S. state and federal income or loss.

Our revenue increased $602.1 million, or 53.1%, to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is attributable to higher service pricing and an activity-driven increase in fleet utilization and efficiency commensurate with increased demand for hydraulic fracturing services.

Cost of Services

Cost of services (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization) increased $362.8 million, or 35.5%, to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The higher expense was primarily related to increases in materials and parts consumption and higher labor costs related to higher fleet utilization as well as inflationary increases impacting costs for materials, labor, and maintenance parts.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $24.7 million, or 44.3%, to $80.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to increases from reinstated bonus programs which had been temporarily suspended during the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, labor cost inflation, and corporate costs related to increased levels of activity.

Transaction, Severance and Other Costs

Transaction, severance and other costs decreased $7.1 million, or 66.8%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The costs incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to integration costs, investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional services provided in connection with the OneStim Acquisition. Such costs were lower during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as the integration efforts move towards completion.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

The increase in 2022 was due to additional equipment placed in service since the prior year period and additional depreciation from property acquired in the PropX Acquisition.

26

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets

The Company recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the sale of one and plan of sale for another non-strategic facility acquired in the OneStim Acquisition compared to a gain of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to miscellaneous equipment disposals in the normal course of business.

Operating Income (Loss)

The Company recorded operating income of $114.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to operating loss of $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, The operating income is primarily due to the $602.1 million, or 53.1%, increase in total revenue partially offset by a $409.4 million increase in total operating expenses, the significant components of which are discussed above.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net increased $9.3 million to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other expense, net is comprised of loss on remeasurement of liability under the TRAs and interest expense, net. The Company remeasured the liability under the TRAs resulting in a loss of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, interest expense increased $1.7 million as a result of increased borrowings under the credit facility.

Net Income (Loss) before Income Taxes

The Company realized net income before income taxes of $100.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net loss before income taxes of $82.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in results is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, as discussed above, related to the increase in activity and service pricing.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased $7.6 million to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, at an effective rate of 1.1%, compared to $8.6 million, at an effective rate of (10.5)%, recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the Company recording a valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets, beginning in the second quarter of 2021, resulting in income tax expense for that period, while in subsequent periods no tax expense or benefit is recognized on U.S. state and federal income or loss.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as non-cash stock based compensation, new fleet or new basin start-up costs, fleet lay-down costs, costs of asset acquisitions, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, bad debt reserves, transaction, severance, and other costs, the loss or gain on remeasurement of liability under our tax receivable agreements and other non-recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.

Our board of directors, management, investors, and lenders use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation, depletion and amortization) and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

27

The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations, proceeds from our IPO, and borrowings under our Credit Facilities. We expect to fund operations and organic growth with cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facilities. We monitor the availability of capital resources such as equity and debt financings that could be leverage for current or future financial obligations including those related to acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other liquidity requirements. We may incur additional indebtedness or issue equity in order to meet our capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements, as well as to fund growth opportunities that we pursue, including via acquisition, such as with the OneStim Acquisition and the PropX Acquisition. Our primary uses of capital have been capital expenditures to support organic growth and funding ongoing operations, including maintenance and fleet upgrades.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $21.5 million to $41.5 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $20.0 million as of December 31, 2021, while working capital excluding cash and current liabilities under debt and lease arrangements increased $134.9 million.

28

We have $350.0 million committed under the ABL Facility, increased to $425 million subsequent to June 30, 2022, see Note 17—Subsequent Events to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)” for further details, subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory available to finance working capital needs. As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing base was calculated to be $350.0 million, and the Company had $150.0 million outstanding, in addition to a letter of credit in the amount of $1.4 million, with $198.6 million of remaining availability. Additionally, we have $105.6 million borrowings remaining on the Term Loan Facility, which was originally $175.0 million.

The ABL Facility has a maturity date of the earlier of (a) October 22, 2026 and (b) to the extent the debt under the Term Loan Facility remains outstanding 90 days prior to the final maturity of the Term Loan Facility, which matures on September 19, 2024.

The Credit Facilities contain covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions. At June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

See Note 8—Debt to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)” for further details.

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022, except for purchase commitments under supply agreements as disclosed above under “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 15—Commitments & Contingencies.” As such, we are not materially exposed to any other financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such financing arrangements.

Share Repurchase Program

Under our share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $250.0 million of outstanding Class A Common Stock through and including July 31, 2024. Shares may be repurchased from time to time for cash in the open market transactions, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions or by other means in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The timing and the amount of repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company at its discretion based on an evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives and other factors. The share repurchase program does not require us to purchase any dollar amount or number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and expected free cash flow to be generated over the next two years.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Description	2022		2021		Change
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	135,629	$	35,566	$	100,063
Net cash used in investing activities	(232,824)		(65,895)		(166,929)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	118,758		(8,175)		126,933

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes Between the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $135.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $100.1 million increase in cash from operating activities is primarily attributable to a $602.1 million increase in revenues, offset by a $380.5 million increase in cash operating expenses and a $134.3 million decrease in cash from changes in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $14.4 million decrease in cash from changes in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $232.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used in investing activities was higher during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company continued to invest in equipment, including building new digiFrac™ fleets, to support increased customer demand in next generation equipment and technology.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $118.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $126.9 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to net borrowings of $132.0 million on the ABL

29

Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to no net borrowings on the ABL Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, there was a $1.4 million decrease in payments on finance lease liabilities as the number of finance leases active for the full period has decreased since June 30, 2021.

Cash Requirements

Our material cash commitments consist primarily of obligations under long-term debt, TRAs, finance and operating leases for property and equipment, and purchase obligations as part of normal operations. We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022, except for obligations of $27.4 million payable within 2022, $18.2 million in 2023, and $4.2 million payable thereafter. See Note 15—Commitments & Contingencies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)” for information regarding scheduled contractual obligations. There have been no other material changes to cash requirements since the year ended December 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

The Company is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax on its share of Liberty LLC’s taxable income. The Company is also subject to Canada federal and provincial income tax on its foreign operations.

The combined effective tax rate applicable to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 1.1% and (10.5)%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% due to the Company recording a valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022, due to entering into a three year cumulative pre-tax book loss position, primarily as a result of COVID-19 related losses in 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate is also less than the statutory rate because of foreign operations for 2021, and the non-controlling interest’s share of Liberty LLC’s pass-through results for federal, state and local income tax reporting, upon which no taxes are payable by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company recognized income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $16.0 million and $8.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which included the impact of the initial recording of a valuation allowance on a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Per the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted on March 27, 2020, net operating losses (“NOL”) incurred in 2019, and 2020 may be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company has previously applied for and expects to receive a NOL carryback refund to recover $5.5 million of cash taxes paid by the Company in 2018. This amount has been reflected as a receivable in the prepaids and other current assets line item in the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 12— Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to income tax expense.

Tax Receivable Agreements

Refer to Note 12— Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to tax receivable agreements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report). A critical accounting estimate is one that requires our most difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments and is fundamental to our results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report.

30

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, but, effective January 1, 2021, a portion of our operations is conducted in a currency other than U.S. dollars. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary as it is the primary currency within the economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. Changes in the exchange rate can affect our revenues, earnings, and the carrying value of our assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, either positively or negatively. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the subsidiary’s financial statements are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded foreign currency translation losses to comprehensive income of $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded foreign currency translation gains to comprehensive loss of $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Other exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2021. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, in addition to foreign currency translation, see Part II, Item 7(a), “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted 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 disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we continue to integrate the entities acquired in the PropX Acquisition, on October 26, 2021. The Company is in the process of integrating PropX’s and our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be changed. Once integrated, we will update documentation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to reflect modifications to business processes and accounting procedures impacted.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 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

Information relating to legal proceedings is described in Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other SEC filings, which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition or future results.

The risk factors below are in addition to the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report. There have been no other material changes to the risk factors in the Annual Report.

The ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In February of 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, higher inflation, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage. As a result of the invasion and ongoing military conflict, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have implemented and may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions, and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, supply chain disruptions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could also aggravate the other risk factors that we identify herein.

The choice of forum provisions in our charter and bylaws could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Charter or the Company’s bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) further provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Under the Securities Act, federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of common stock of the Company will be deemed to have notice of and have consented to the provisions of our Charter and Bylaws related to choice of forum. The choice of forum provisions in our Charter and Bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Additionally, the enforceability of choice of forum provisions in other companies’ governing documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Charter and Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. If so, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares of our Class A Common Stock at all or in any particular amounts.

The stock markets in general have experienced substantial price and trading fluctuations, which have resulted in volatility in the market prices of securities that often are unrelated or disproportionate to changes in operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A Common Stock. Price volatility over a given period may also cause the average price at which we repurchase our own Class A Common Stock to exceed the stock’s price at a given point in time. In addition, significant changes in the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and our ability to access capital on terms favorable to us could impact our ability to repurchase shares of our Class A Common Stock. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives and other factors beyond our control. Our share repurchase program may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time and without notice.
