HOUSTON, TX – November 5, 2024 – Select Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: WTTR) (“Select” or the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable water and technology
solutions to the energy industry, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
John Schmitz, Select’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the third quarter Select delivered another quarter of continued
margin improvement and profitability, while generating solid free cash flow. Supported by revenue growth and margin improvement in our Water Infrastructure segment, our unique growth story continued as we were able to improve consolidated gross
margins and increase net income and adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter despite activity pullbacks in the broader macro environment.
“The third quarter showcased the strength and growth potential in our Water Infrastructure segment, as demonstrated with a significant increase in profitability and
another quarter of record performance. More specifically, the Water Infrastructure segment posted 20% sequential revenue improvement and 33% growth in gross profit before D&A, resulting in 56.7% gross margins before D&A in the quarter, an
increase of more than five percentage points over the second quarter of 2024. We have materially surpassed our 50% margin goal for Water Infrastructure well ahead of our 2025 target, underscoring our continued ability to increase asset utilization,
integrate acquired assets efficiently and our unique ability to sign, construct, and execute highly profitable Water Infrastructure projects out of our growing backlog alongside the basin’s most ambitious and pioneering operators. Our conviction in
the strength and torque of this asset base remains unwavering as represented by the decision to increase our quarterly base dividend by 17% for our upcoming November payment.
“The improvements in the Water Infrastructure segment were a culmination of the acquisitions we have executed year-to-date, further commercialization of our end-to-end
water networks, and ongoing cost and operational efficiency initiatives. While we continue to grow our infrastructure footprint through both organic and inorganic capital projects, we also have driven increased utilization and volumes through our
existing assets via our targeted sales, business development and network optimization efforts. Our ever-growing footprint enables us to network assets across our infrastructure portfolio, including pipelines, fixed-recycling facilities, and
disposal wells, positioning us as an all-encompassing water solutions provider for our customers. Our existing footprint, coupled with the contracts we have executed and the robust pipeline of prospective projects, positions the Water
Infrastructure segment for significant ongoing growth in 2025.
“In the third quarter we continued to build on our organic infrastructure successes with additional project wins supported by long-term contracts. Since the beginning
of the third quarter, we contracted an additional 25,000 acres under long-term dedication in the Permian Basin and continue to add long-term optionality, with an additional 57,000 acres added under right-of-first-refusal commitments. These new
contracts build off our existing infrastructure, in each case connecting new assets with other legacy or recently acquired infrastructure to create a more interconnected network. In addition to our Permian wins, we also executed two strategic
produced water pipeline connection agreements in the Bakken in the third quarter, further exemplifying our industry-leading infrastructure footprint spanning all major lower 48 land basins. In the third quarter we also completed an additional
transaction for a disposal well in the Permian to further bolster our disposal portfolio in the Northern Delaware to meet the needs of our customers.
“Driven by margin outperformance and the pull-forward of activity in our Water Infrastructure segment, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on the headline
goals we set out for 2024, including record setting annual Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and more than 50% of our profitability coming from Water Infrastructure and Chemical Technologies. On the capital side of the business, we expect to come in
on the low end of the guidance range of $170 million to $190 million for net capital expenditures as we have increased volumes through our existing network and found ways to increase maintenance capital efficiency and deliver at the low end of our
guidance range.

“We do anticipate, however, that the seasonal activity slowdown in the fourth quarter will impact the Water Services segment, offset by recovery in our Chemical
Technologies segment with new product wins. Additionally, we will see the impact of certain asset specific activity reductions in each of our water transfer, sourcing and recycling businesses associated with certain of our ongoing capital projects
in the Northern Delaware Basin. More specifically, we are planning for downtime during all of Q4 at one of our New Mexico recycling facilities as we transition this facility’s operations into an integrated system that we expect to be back online in
the first quarter of 2025. We will also be taking offline a large diameter historically freshwater distribution pipeline in the Northern Delaware Basin in order to convert the asset into a treated produced water distribution line. These assets are
two of our highest earning assets within the segment year-to-date in 2024, so while these initiatives will result in some short-term financial impact to the Water Infrastructure segment in the fourth quarter, in doing so, we are significantly
enhancing the long-term potential of our Northern Delaware Basins infrastructure footprint by creating a fully integrated network, connecting our current northern and southern recycling systems across New Mexico. While we expect Adjusted EBITDA to
be down in the fourth quarter at $60 million - $62 million, this should be temporary and we expect first quarter of 2025 to come in at or above third quarter levels, with upward trajectory across the remainder of 2025 providing substantial
year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth next year, as our ongoing capital projects come online and provide additional revenue and profitability for our Water Infrastructure segment throughout 2025.
“Overall, I am pleased with our financial performance in the third quarter and year-to-date 2024, and I am excited to continue building onto our growing infrastructure
platform with additional contract wins expected during the fourth quarter and in 2025. The strength of our overall expected 2024 results, including growing profitability and continued free cash flow generation, combined with our strong project
backlog positions the company for steady continued growth looking into 2025 and we remain committed to increasing the profitability of our Water Infrastructure segment to represent more than half of the overall profitability of Select by the end of
2025. Ultimately, we remain committed to delivering industry-leading water and technology solutions with high-margin, long-term contracted infrastructure that is mission critical to our customers and creates significant value for our shareholders,”
concluded Mr. Schmitz.

Business Segment Information
The Water Services segment generated revenues of $234.0
million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $230.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $251.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin before D&A for Water Services was 20.5% in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to
22.5% in the second quarter of 2024 and 20.5% in the third quarter of 2023. Water Services segment revenues were up approximately 2% sequentially, with strong net gains in Select’s Permian water transfer operations. For the fourth quarter of 2024,
the Company expects to see segment revenue decline by 10% - 15%, driven by macro activity declines, consolidation initiatives and the affiliated short-term impact of planned downtime at certain water infrastructure assets in the fourth quarter. The
Company expects gross margins before D&A to hold steady at 20% - 21% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Water Infrastructure segment generated revenues of
$82.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $68.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $58.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin before D&A for Water Infrastructure was 56.7% in the third quarter of 2024 as
compared to 51.0% in the second quarter of 2024 and 40.1% in the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, the Water Infrastructure segment realized pull-forward of activity expected in the fourth quarter as well as increased
utilization of existing assets and the ongoing benefit of the acquisitions year-to-date. The segment achieved increases in recycling volumes during the third quarter, generating revenue growth of approximately 20% relative to the second quarter of
2024. Additionally, gross margins before D&A improved by more than five percentage points sequentially during the third quarter of 2024, driven by Select’s recent acquisitions, and strong incremental margins on additional system utilization
across the Company’s existing networks. The Company anticipates Water Infrastructure revenues decreasing by 10% - 15% during the fourth quarter of 2024. While the segment will see some impacts from seasonal activity factors, disposal and solids
management volumes are expected to remain steady and the majority of the activity reduction is driven by the recent pull-forward of some work into the third quarter and the associated impact of taking offline certain recycling and pipeline
distribution assets in the Northern Delaware Basin as part of Select’s ongoing capital project efforts to expand its gathering, recycling and distribution networks in the Northern Delaware basin. The Company expects gross margins before D&A of
51% – 54% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
4
The Chemical Technologies segment generated revenues of
$55.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $66.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $79.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin before D&A for Chemical Technologies was 12.4% in the third quarter of 2024 as
compared to 16.4 % in the second quarter of 2024 and 20.3% in the third quarter of 2023, as activity impacted demand levels during the quarter, especially with pressure pumping customers. For the fourth quarter of 2024, Select anticipates the
segment to see both revenue and margin driven by new product development and customer wins, particularly with the Company’s E&P customers. Accordingly, revenues are anticipated to increase mid-single-digit percentages and gross margins before
D&A to increase to 14% - 16% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures
Cash flow from operations for the third quarter of 2024 was $51.9 million as compared to $83.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $118.2 million in the third
quarter of 2023. Cash flow from operations during the third quarter of 2024 was impacted by a $15.4 million use of cash from working capital.
Net capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2024 were $31.5 million, comprised of $35.2 million of capital expenditures partially offset by $3.7 million of cash
proceeds from asset sales. Free cash flow during the third quarter of 2024 was $20.4 million. Please refer to the end of this release for a reconciliation of
free cash flow (non-GAAP measure) to net cash provided by operating activities.
Cash flow used in investing activities during the third quarter of 2024 also included $8.7 million of outflows for Water Infrastructure related acquisitions.
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the third quarter of 2024 included $17.2 million of net outflows consisting of $10.0 million of payments on Select’s
sustainability-linked credit facility, $7.0 million of dividends and distributions paid and $0.2 million of tax withholding payments associated with the vesting of shares under the Company’s long-term incentive plan.

Northern Delaware Disposal Acquisition
During the third quarter of 2024, Select completed the acquisition of a disposal well for $4.5 million of cash consideration in the Northern Delaware Basin. The
addition of this well bolsters Select’s Northern Delaware disposal capacity, adding an anticipated approximately 10,000 barrels per day of disposal capacity in a strategic location with proximity to the Company’s organic Water Infrastructure
developments.
Business Development Updates
Since the start of the third quarter of 2024, Select has executed four new long-term contracts including two for comprehensive produced water gathering, recycling and
disposal in the Permian Basin and two disposal gathering pipeline connection contracts in the Bakken. The combined capital expenditures associated with these four projects is expected to be $37 million – $42 million, with each project anticipated
to be online in the first half of 2025.
Northern Delaware System Expansion and Acreage Dedication
During the third quarter of 2024, Select signed a 12-year agreement for the construction and expansion of recycling and pipeline infrastructure for a large public
operator in the Permian Basin, extending Select’s existing Lea County, New Mexico recycling infrastructure into Eddy County, New Mexico as well. Expanding upon existing agreements with an established customer, the new agreement adds another 5,000
additional dedicated acres with an additional right-of-first-refusal for another 57,000 acres of potential dedication. To support the agreement, Select will construct a new recycling facility, adding up to 120,000 barrels per day of additional
throughput capacity and up to two million barrels of additional storage capacity. The new facility will be connected via 20-miles of large diameter produced water gathering pipelines to Select’s existing Northern Delaware recycling infrastructure,
as well as to two of our recently acquired nearby SWDs and an existing large diameter pipeline that will be converted from fresh water to produced water distribution. We expect construction to be complete and the pipelines and recycling facilities
to be operational in the first half of 2025.
6
Midland Basin Recycling and Disposal Project
During October 2024, Select signed an eight-year agreement for an integrated water gathering, recycling and disposal project in Upton County in the Midland Basin. The
project will expand an existing recycling facility by adding 750,000 barrels of additional storage, support a new disposal facility permitted at 20,000 barrels per day and include 4 miles of pipeline buildout to integrate the system. The project is
supported by an approximately 20,000 acre dedication for both gathering produced water and purchasing treated produced water and includes a 35 million barrel minimum volume commitment. The project is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 2025.
Bakken Pipeline Connections
During the third quarter of 2024, Select signed one 10-year agreement and one 20-year agreement for the construction of pipelines to Select’s existing Bakken disposal
infrastructure. As part of the agreements Select will update one of its Bakken disposals to accommodate increased capacity in addition to tying pipe into the disposal facility. Additionally, Select has also secured a one million barrel minimum
volume commitment in the initial year of the contract in one of the two connection agreements signed in the quarter.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this communication other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements which contain our current expectations about our future
results. We have attempted to identify any forward-looking statements by using words such as “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “will,” “estimates,” “preliminary,” “forecast” and other similar expressions. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the expectations of plans, business strategies, objectives and growth, projected financial results and future financial and operational performance, expected capital expenditures, our
share repurchase program and future dividends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected, and the assumptions or bases underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to
be correct. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, events or financial positions to differ materially from those included
within or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risks that the benefits contemplated from our recent acquisitions may not be realized, the ability of Select to successfully integrate the acquired
businesses’ operations, including employees, and realize anticipated synergies and cost savings and the potential impact of the consummation of the acquisitions on relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers, competitors and
creditors. Factors that could materially impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the global macroeconomic uncertainty related to the Russia-Ukraine war and related economic sanctions; the conflict in the Israel-Gaza
region and related hostilities in the Middle East, including heightened tensions with Iran, Lebanon and Yemen; 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 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 supply limitations, which may be exacerbated by the recent Middle East conflicts; actions taken by federal or state governments, such as executive orders or new or expanded regulations, that may
negatively impact the future production of oil and natural gas in the U.S. or our customers’ access to federal and state lands for oil and gas development operations, thereby reducing demand for our services in the affected areas; the severity and
duration of world health events, and any resulting impact on commodity prices and supply and demand considerations; 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; the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas companies, trends and volatility in oil and gas prices, and our ability to manage through such volatility; the impact of current and future laws, rulings
and governmental regulations, including those related to hydraulic fracturing, accessing water, disposing of wastewater, transferring produced water, interstate freshwater transfer, chemicals, carbon pricing, pipeline construction, taxation or
emissions, leasing, permitting or drilling on federal lands and various other environmental matters; regulatory and related policy actions intended by federal, state and/or local governments to reduce fossil fuel use and associated carbon
emissions, or to drive the substitution of renewable forms of energy for oil and gas, may over time reduce demand for oil and gas and therefore the demand for our services, including as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the U.S.
Supreme Court’s overturning of the Chevron deference doctrine or otherwise; growing demand for electric vehicles that may result in reduced demand for refined products deriving from crude oil such as gasoline and diesel fuel, and therefore the
demand for our services; 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, including as a result of the fall 2024 presidential election and any resultant political uncertainty, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession; and other factors discussed or
referenced in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. Investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed
circumstances or otherwise, unless required by law.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, 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/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, 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-recurring compensation expense,
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 and plus tax receivable agreements expense less bargain purchase gains from business combinations. 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 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 and rebranding 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.
