•
Distributed $15 million to shareholders through cash dividends
•
Increased quarterly cash dividend by 11% to $0.10 per share beginning fourth quarter of 2026
•
Executed a strategic development agreement with a leading frontier AI lab and a dedicated infrastructure platform to deliver 1.2 GW of integrated power services at data center campuses
•
Collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies at its advanced grid simulation testbed, successfully validating Liberty’s power technologies under real-world grid conditions
•
Achieved record natural gas substitution across our frac fleets, driven by continued investment in natural gas fueled equipment and optimization through Liberty’s digital intelligence layer
“Liberty's completions trajectory has improved meaningfully from early year cyclical lows. Strong customer engagement and strengthening market fundamentals provide a more constructive outlook as we close out the year.
Third quarter revenue of $1.2 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $142 million reflected strong operational execution and modest price increases, partially offset by drilling-related delays and cost inflation headwinds,” commented Ron Gusek, Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we delivered significantly lower fuel costs for our customers.
Record natural gas substitution of over 60% of the total fuel consumed by our fleets provided annualized fuel savings of over $1 billion for our customers.
This achievement reflects continued investment in natural gas fueled equipment and a concerted focus on the digital intelligence layer that drives meaningful operational optimization of equipment and widens the performance gap amongst industry frac fleets.”
“In power, we are excited to share that Liberty Power Innovations (“LPI”) entered into a strategic development agreement with a leading frontier AI lab and a dedicated infrastructure platform for 1.2 GW of integrated power services at data center campuses.
The agreement includes a significant prepayment of capacity fees and targeted execution of the first energy service agreement (“ESA”) contract for approximately 500 megawatts ("MW") by December 2026.
The agreement also establishes a phased energization schedule from Q4 2027 through Q1 2029 and includes the substantive commercial terms for the additional long-term ESAs.
This is the culmination of months of work on engineering and design between our teams, defining the integrated power architecture tailored to the generation, power quality, reliability and dynamic AI load requirements,” commented Mr. Gusek. “We see significant opportunity to expand this relationship and are already working together to advance additional projects across other sites, including gas supply, interconnection, permitting and construction planning.”
“We are building a durable portfolio across completions and power, anchored by the principles that have long defined Liberty: a relentless focus on our customers, continuous technology innovation, and disciplined execution.

Please see the supplemental financial information in the table under “Reconciliation of Net Income and Net Income per Diluted Share to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share” at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
2    “Adjusted EBITDA” is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Please see the supplemental financial information in the table under “Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
In completions, these capabilities have helped our customers improve performance and economics year after year, and we are applying that same approach in power as we develop differentiated solutions to meet the increasingly complex objectives of technology customers,” continued Mr. Gusek. “These dual investments are strengthening our competitive advantage and expanding our market opportunities, positioning us to generate strong returns through cycles. Earlier this week we announced an 11% increase in our quarterly cash dividend, reflecting confidence in our strategy and a continued commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value.”
Outlook
Global oil and refined product prices strengthened during the third quarter, as the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to impact markets.
While flows through the Strait of Hormuz partially recovered, Gulf exports remain vulnerable to operational disruption, sustaining a risk premium in crude oil prices.
Renewed attacks on energy infrastructure have exacerbated refined product shortages, with low diesel inventories emerging as a critical constraint. Elevated maritime freight costs and longer trade routes have further compounded these pressures, increasing delivered crude and product costs.
Expectations for a prolonged supply disruption and an eventual replenishment of strategic petroleum reserves have sustained the oil risk premium and lifted forward prices.
North American natural gas fundamentals remain more balanced, as strong summer power demand was outpaced by record production and ample inventories.
Disruptions to Qatari gas supply have also increased reliance on U.S. LNG, including replacement cargoes required to fulfill existing customer commitments.
Longer term, LNG exports and growing power consumption from AI and data center development are expected to drive significant demand growth.
Against this backdrop, producer well economics have strengthened meaningfully, with a more constructive forward curve providing attractive 2027 oil hedging opportunities and enhancing E&P revenue visibility. These improving fundamentals further reinforce already tight frac market dynamics, where modestly higher completions activity has absorbed much of the industry’s available capacity. Ongoing fleet attrition, equipment cannibalization and industry underinvestment have constrained supply, particularly in next generation equipment with compelling gas arbitrage economics. Increasing completion intensity and complexity also favor scaled providers with integrated
services
and advanced digital technologies. Together, these dynamics are supporting more durable frac markets and continued improvement in service pricing.
As AI accelerates demand for compute capacity, infrastructure developers are increasingly leveraging co-located integrated power solutions for data center campuses and other large load sites to address growing community considerations around power costs, availability, and other concerns.
Beyond accelerating energization timelines and enabling tailored energy configurations, co-location can reduce pressure on existing grid infrastructure and limit the need for costly transmission investment, helping mitigate impacts on local ratepayers and communities.
Liberty’s partnerships broaden the capabilities we can bring to these projects, combining our power services with complementary technologies and infrastructure solutions, including hybrid power systems, advanced energy management and waste-heat recovery.
Over time, this integrated approach creates opportunities to address overall energy efficiency while providing customers greater flexibility to address environmental and community priorities specific to each site.
“Today’s announcement with a frontier AI lab underscores the strength of our integrated power platform and its ability to advance our customers’ broader strategic objectives. Our relationship has been built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to advancing AI infrastructure at scale,” commented Mr. Gusek. “Over the past year, we have built a strong foundation spanning power design and architecture, power quality and load management, testing and validation, and long-term operations needed to support this project and others like it.
We are excited to support a growing base of customers seeking reliable, high-performance power infrastructure for data centers and other industrial applications.”
“North American oil and gas markets are increasingly constructive as global energy consumers place greater emphasis on secure, reliable energy supplies.
Our disciplined investment in leading edge digital and equipment technologies through cycles expands our competitive advantage and increases our market opportunities over the coming years,” commented Mr. Gusek. “Looking forward, we expect fourth quarter weather and holiday seasonality to be partially offset by continued strength in demand, including activity deferred from the third quarter.
We’re proud of the Liberty team’s continued focus on ingenuity, innovation, and execution.
We are well positioned today to serve the demand for energy services in the years ahead.”
Cash Dividend
During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share of Class A common stock, or approximately $15 million in aggregate to shareholders.
On October 20, 2026, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock, to be paid on December 18, 2026 to holders of record as of December 4, 2026.
Future declarations of quarterly cash dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and to the Board’s continuing determination that the declarations of dividends are in the best interests of Liberty and its stockholders. Future dividends may be adjusted at the Board’s discretion based on market conditions and capital availability.
Third Quarter Results

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial and operational measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share, and Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”). We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial and operational measures provides useful information about our financial performance and results of operations. 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, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, gain or loss on investments, net, bad debt reserves, transaction and other costs, the loss or gain on remeasurement of liability under our tax receivable agreements, and other 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 U.S. GAAP.
We present Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Diluted Share because we believe such measures provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance by excluding the after-tax impacts of unusual or one-time benefits or costs, including items such as gain or loss on investments, net and transaction and other costs, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of our normal operating results. We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as net income after eliminating the effects of such excluded items and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management analyzes net income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance to identify underlying trends in our business.
We define ROCE as the ratio of adjusted pre-tax net income (adding back income tax and certain adjustments that include tax receivable agreement impacts, gain or loss on investments, net, and transaction and other costs, when applicable) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2026 to Average Capital Employed. Average Capital Employed is the simple average of total capital employed (both debt and equity) as of September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025. ROCE is presented based on our management
’
s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when evaluating our profitability and
the efficiency with which management has employed capital over time. Our management uses ROCE for that purpose. ROCE is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP financial and operational measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial and operational measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See the tables entitled Reconciliation and Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial and Operational Measures for a reconciliation or calculation of the non-GAAP financial or operational measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
