Analysis · ACDC · Energy & Transportation
ProFrac's Q2 revenue rose sequentially to $498M and net loss narrowed to $74.7M from Q1's deeper loss, but the real story is the CEO change and the new $300M ABL facility. Ladd Wilks resigned as CEO effective August 7, with Executive Chairman Matt Wilks taking over — a sudden leadership shift that raises governance questions. The new credit facility, entered July 1, replaces the prior ABL and provides critical liquidity at a higher cost (8% effective rate), reflecting the company's strained financial position. With $1.1B in total debt and only $14.4M in cash (ex-Flotek), the refinancing buys time but underscores the balance-sheet pressure.
