(NYSE: WTTR) ("Select" or the "Company"), a leading provider of sustainable water and chemical solutions, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.John Schmitz, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, stated, "The first quarter represented a strong start to the year for Select. During the first quarter of 2026, we delivered strong consolidated revenue growth, coupled with an increase in our gross margins, and drove an $11.5 million increase in net income and adjusted EBITDA growth of $13.5 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition to this operational performance, during the first quarter, we enhanced our balance sheet and financial flexibility and are well positioned to support our continued investment in infrastructure growth."In our Water Infrastructure segment, we increased both our recycling and disposal volumes during the first quarter of 2026, with approximately 1.4 million barrels of produced water recycled or disposed per day, resulting in record quarterly segment revenue of $96.7 million. We continue to leverage our system to get the maximum value out of our invested capital through increased commercialization and contracted service offering expansion. Since year-end, we have executed several new contracts across multiple basins that leverage our existing networks to provide incremental committed volumes, tie-in opportunities, or increased produced water flows and utilization through our system. For example, during the first quarter of 2026, we were able to leverage our market leading disposal position in the Northeast to sign a new long-term disposal dedication agreement while concurrently becoming the preferred last-mile logistics water transfer provider for this same customer. In total, since the beginning of the year we added three new minimum volume commitments ("MVCs"), two additional acreage dedications, two new right-of-first-refusal ("ROFR") dedications, and eight new interruptible agreements to our networks across the Permian, Northeast, Bakken and MidCon regions. Subsequent to quarter end, we also closed on multiple acquisitions in the Northern Delaware Basin, adding approximately 4,000 acres of surface and minerals, 30,000 barrels per day of disposal capacity, 1,800-acre feet of annual water rights and 500,000 barrels of storage across Texas and New Mexico. We expect these acquisitions to integrate efficiently and bolster the operational and economic potential of our Northern Delaware network. We will continue to pursue opportunities to tactically add to our footprint in the region."Supported by the strong outperformance during the first quarter, our Water Infrastructure segment is well on track to exceed the high end of our previously guided range of 20 – 25% year-over-year growth. While we expect a relatively steady second quarter for the segment, with additional projects coming online over the course of the second and third quarters, we expect continued growth throughout the second half of 2026, leading us to increase our full-year guidance to 25 – 30% year-over-year growth for the segment. With additional infrastructure contracts in hand and near-term network integration capital requirements associated with our recent acquisitions, we now expect net capital expenditures in 2026 to increase to $200 – $250 million."Our Chemical Technologies segment performed as expected in the first quarter and we expect strong double-digit percentage sequential revenue growth during the second quarter. With continued demand for new product development in both our core friction reducer product lines as well as our specialty surfactant product offerings, we believe we are well positioned for future growth opportunities."Our Water Services segment meaningfully outperformed our expectations during the first quarter, with revenue growth of more than 7%, and this segment remains well positioned to capitalize on any activity uplift in the market associated with the current commodity price environment. Altogether we expect continued strong performance, and on a consolidated basis, we anticipate Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter at an estimated $77 – $80 million."In summary, I am pleased with our financial performance in the first quarter of 2026, and I am very excited as the ongoing evolution of our strategy continues to materialize.  We look forward to building on these recent successes to continue serving our valued customers, employees, and stakeholders," concluded Schmitz.First Quarter 2026 Consolidated Financial InformationRevenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $366.0 million as compared to $346.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $374.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.

inflation and high interest rates, each of which may decrease demand for oil and natural gas or contribute to volatility in the prices for oil and natural gas, which may decrease demand for our services; the ability to source certain raw materials and other critical components or manufactured products globally on a timely basis from economically advantaged sources, including any delays and/or supply chain disruptions due to increased hostilities in the Middle East; actions taken by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, "OPEC+") with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with announced supply limitations, which may be exacerbated by military conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and the resumption of sales of previously sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Russia; the impact of central bank policy actions, such as sustained, elevated  interest rates in response to, among other things, high rates of inflation, and disruptions in the bank and capital markets; the degree to which consolidation among our customers may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions activity, including the recent consolidation in the Permian Basin; impacts related to changing U.S. and foreign trade policies, including increased trade restrictions or tariffs; the impact of changes in diplomatic and trade relations, and the results of countermeasures and any tariff migration initiatives;

regional impacts to our business, including our key infrastructure assets within the Permian Basin, the Bakken, and the Haynesville regions; capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a decrease in the demand for our services in our core markets; the impact of regulatory and related policy actions by federal, state and/or local governments, such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which may negatively impact the future production of oil and gas in the U.S., thereby reducing demand for our services; our ability to hire and retain key management and employees, including skilled labor; our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, or at all; our health, safety and environmental performance; the impact of competition on our operations; the degree to which our exploration and production customers may elect to operate their water-management services in-house rather than source these services from companies like us; our level of indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in our sustainability-linked credit facility or future debt instruments; delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us or our customers; constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business; the impact of advances or changes in well-completion technologies or practices that result in reduced demand for our services, either on a volumetric or time basis; changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession; acts of terrorism, war or political or civil unrest in the U.S. or elsewhere, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the instability and continued hostilities in the Middle East, including military conflict involving Iran and any potential conflict with Venezuela;

 Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresEBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before depreciation, amortization and accretion ("D&A"), gross margin before D&A and free cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus any impairment and abandonment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to GAAP, plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-cash compensation expense, and non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains), plus/(minus) losses/(gains) on unconsolidated entities plus tax receivable agreements expense and less remeasurement gain on business combination. We define gross profit before D&A as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding cost of sales D&A expense. We define gross margin before D&A as gross profit before D&A divided by revenue. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus proceeds received from sale of property and equipment. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A and free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information to external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies 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,  amortization and accretion) and non-recurring items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A and free cash flow because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross profit and gross margin are the GAAP measures most directly comparable to gross profit before D&A and gross margin before D&A, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow. 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, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A and free cash flow 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.For forward-looking non-GAAP measures, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation, including potential acquisition-related transaction costs as well as the purchase price accounting allocation of the recent acquisitions and the resulting impacts to depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, among other items is not available to the Company without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP with a reasonable degree of accuracy at this time.The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

Original: Select Water Solutions Announces 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule

So, yesterday was triple witching day

That is partial explanation for high volume at end of day. However, as noted earlier - there were 15 million shares traded. The highest number before that was 9.8 million on March 15 2024 (also triple-witching); next highest was 5.5 million one day in early 2024; there was a 4 million one day in 2020; and a 4 million one day in 2017. And 10 days in the 3 millions dating back between 2018 and 2024. All of the rest of the days dating back to 4/21/17 are less than 3 million. There are four triple witches per year. Something else is going on to explain yesterday's dark pool volume.

A brief triple witching primer and backstory
Triple witching, aka “freaky Friday,” originated in the 1980s with the introduction of stock index futures and options.

Unlike shares of stock, futures and options contracts expire, meaning they have a fixed lifetime. Impending expirations require market participants—in this case, mostly professional traders and money managers—to decide whether to exercise an option or let it expire, take or make delivery on a futures contract, or “roll” a futures or options position forward into a future month. That can all lead to a mad scramble, especially during the “witching hour,” the final trading hour (3 to 4 p.m. ET) of the triple witching day.

The convergence of the three expiration “witches” once every quarter effectively means that a bunch of buyers and sellers are all rushing to settle their positions before the closing bell. An oversimplified way to think about it is Black Friday shoppers mobbing a big-box retail store right when the doors open to grab a shiny new flat-screen TV.

Historically, triple witching days have been associated with elevated market volatility and sharp price swings, according to an article from Nasdaq, one of the top stock exchange groups. During triple witching, a confluence of factors “creates a complex market environment ripe for volatility.” Although market impact can vary from year to year, triple witching days “have consistently contributed to heightened trading activity and market turbulence,” the exchange said.

Yahoo showing 15 million traded today

Either all shorts covered (their were 7 million shares short on 2/28) or big institutional buy (Yahoo says 94% institutionally owned; NASDAQ has 91%)' likely some combination.

Five million shares showing up after hours.

Didn't move the needle. Must be dark web sales or something.

Energy market should get goosed this week

Peace out.

Looks like we are entering into a sweet uptrend, loving it.

Looking forward to earnings call here. Liking the news out today nice 8-K 2019 gonna be sweet.

Peace out.

WTTR 10.19

I am back in this deep value play.....gulp.

Ouch...but picked up some at 13.70 here for the long term. Believe WTTR to be very oversold in light of the increase in activity expected later this year and 2019. Couldn't resist.

Hearing rumors that Select picked up a large amount of business from EOG Resources.

Not sure if it will be reflected in Q2 earnings.

But Q2 will be a quarter that should surpass most estimates.

Looking for the report around the 1st week of August.
