(1) Adjusted net income, Adjusted net
income margin and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted are
non-GAAP financial measures. These figures assume Cactus, Inc. held
all units in its operating subsidiary at the beginning of the
period. Additional information regarding non-GAAP measures and the
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are in the
Supplemental Information tables.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See definition of these
measures and the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial
measures in the Supplemental Information tables.
(3) First quarter 2023 results throughout
include only one month of FlexSteel results from the close of the
acquisition on February 28, 2023.
(4) Operating income reflects certain
expenses related to the FlexSteel acquisition, including expenses
related to the remeasurement of the earn-out liability associated
with the FlexSteel acquisition and intangible amortization expenses
related to purchase price accounting. See the reconciliation of
GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the Supplemental Information
tables for further details.
Scott Bender, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Cactus,
commented, “Consolidated revenue and margins modestly exceeded our
expectations in the first quarter while market activity levels were
relatively flat. I am particularly proud of the revenue progression
in our Spoolable Technologies business in the first quarter.
Revenues increased relative to the fourth quarter as strong
activity from large customers increased sales in our Spoolable
Technologies segment in what is typically a seasonally slower
period.”
“Looking ahead to the second quarter of 2024, we anticipate that
U.S. land activity levels will drift lower from the first quarter
average given continued gas commodity weakness and global
geopolitical uncertainty. In Pressure Control, we expect relatively
flat revenue in the second quarter, outperforming the anticipated
activity softness given particularly strong April production
equipment sales. In Spoolable Technologies, we anticipate revenues
to be up slightly.”
Mr. Bender concluded, “Although we remain cautious regarding the
outlook for 2024, we are excited about several internal cost
improvement and revenue expansion opportunities, including
opportunities in production equipment. In addition, we are rolling
out our latest generation wellhead system in the coming months, we
have made progress on our international expansion plans, we have
received several orders for our spoolable pipe from a major new
midstream customer, and we are progressing our low-cost supply
chain diversification initiatives in both segments, all of which
should further enhance our ability to generate cash flow and
attractive returns for our shareholders.”
Segment Performance
We report two business segments, Pressure Control and Spoolable
Technologies, and starting with the fourth quarter of 2023,
corporate and other expenses not directly attributable to either
segment are presented separately as Corporate and Other Expenses.
These expenses were previously included within the Pressure Control
segment. Prior periods presented have been recast to conform to the
new presentation.
Pressure Control
First quarter 2024 Pressure Control revenue decreased $5.4
million, or 3.0%, sequentially, as sales of wellhead and production
related equipment declined primarily due to lower customer
activity. Operating income decreased $4.4 million, or 7.8%,
sequentially, with margins decreasing 160 basis points due to lower
operating leverage. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $4.0 million,
or 6.2%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins
decreasing 120 basis points.
Spoolable Technologies
First quarter 2024 Spoolable Technologies revenues increased
$4.7 million, or 5.0%, sequentially, due to increased customer
activity levels. Operating income decreased $11.8 million, or
41.8%, sequentially, due primarily to the expense booked as a
result of the remeasurement of the earn-out liability associated
with the FlexSteel acquisition, which was $13.3 million in the
first quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $0.4 million, or
1.1%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins decreasing
240 basis points due to increased input costs.
Corporate and Other Expenses
First quarter 2024 Corporate and Other expenses decreased $0.2
million, or 2.6%, sequentially, primarily due to lower stock-based
compensation expenses.
Liquidity, Capital Expenditures and Other
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $194.3 million of cash and
cash equivalents, no bank debt outstanding, and $216.7 million of
availability on our revolving credit facility. Operating cash flow
was $86.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. During the first
quarter, the Company made dividend payments and associated
distributions of $9.8 million.
Net capital expenditures were $6.8 million during the first
quarter of 2024. For the full year 2024, the Company expects net
capital expenditures to be in the range of $45 million to $55
million, inclusive of capital directed towards supply chain
diversification efforts and organic international expansion.
As of March 31, 2024, Cactus had 65,518,468 shares of Class A
common stock outstanding (representing 82.4% of the total voting
power) and 14,033,979 shares of Class B common stock outstanding
(representing 17.6% of the total voting power).
Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.12 per share of Class A common stock with payment to occur on
June 13, 2024 to holders of record of Class A common stock at the
close of business on May 28, 2024. A corresponding distribution of
up to $0.12 per CC Unit has also been approved for holders of CC
Units of Cactus Companies, LLC.

Cactus, Inc. – Supplemental Information
Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and
adjusted net income margin (unaudited)
Adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and
adjusted net income margin are not measures of net income as
determined by GAAP but they are supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures that are used by management and external users of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. Cactus defines
adjusted net income as net income assuming Cactus, Inc. held all
units in its operating subsidiary at the beginning of the period,
with the resulting additional income tax expense related to the
incremental income attributable to Cactus, Inc. Adjusted net income
also includes certain other adjustments described below. Cactus
defines diluted earnings per share, as adjusted as Adjusted net
income divided by weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted.
Cactus defines Adjusted net income margin as Adjusted net income
divided by total revenue. The Company believes this supplemental
information is useful for evaluating performance period over
period.

Cactus, Inc. – Supplemental Information
Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
(unaudited)
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not
measures of net income as determined by GAAP but are supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and
external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements,
such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.
Cactus defines EBITDA as net income excluding net interest, income
tax and depreciation and amortization. Cactus defines Adjusted
EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the other items outlined below.
Cactus management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful
because they allow management to more effectively evaluate the
Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its
operations from period to period without regard to financing
methods or capital structure, or other items that impact
comparability of financial results from period to period. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or
more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined
in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s computations of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies. Cactus defines Adjusted EBITDA margin
as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Cactus presents this
supplemental information because it believes it provides useful
information regarding the factors and trends affecting the
Company’s business.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin are
not measures of net income as determined by GAAP but are
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by
management and external users of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders
and rating agencies. Cactus defines Adjusted Segment EBITDA as
segment operating income excluding depreciation and amortization
and the other items outlined below, in each case, that are
attributable to the segment.
Cactus management believes Adjusted Segment EBITDA is useful
because it allows management to more effectively evaluate the
Company’s segment operating performance and compare the results of
its segment operations from period to period without regard to
financing methods or capital structure, or other items that impact
comparability of financial results from period to period. Adjusted
Segment EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or
