SPRING, Texas, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TETRA Technologies, Inc. ("TETRA" or the "Company") (NYSE:TTI) announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

Revenues of $185.7 million
Income from continuing operations of $10.2 million, inclusive of $1.1 million of unusual charges
Adjusted EBITDA of $31.9 million
Net Income per share from continuing operations of $0.07, adjusted net income per share of $0.08
Launched TETRA Neptune Z-Lite, awarded a three-well Gulf of America Deepwater Project
Raised $108 million of net proceeds related to the equity offering
Board of Directors approved final investment decision ("FID") for the Arkansas Bromine Project

Brady Murphy, TETRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We delivered one of our strongest second-quarter and first-half financial performances in the past decade, reflecting the strength of our base business and our ability to grow in deepwater and international markets. Internationally and globally offshore, our revenues for the second-quarter and first six months of the year were a ten-year high, with our first-half 2026 international revenue 24% higher than any first six months over the past decade. Second-quarter consolidated revenue of $186 million increased 19% sequentially and 7% year over year. Income from continuing operations was $10.2 million for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 24% sequentially to $31.9 million. Our performance also benefited from growing demand for the proprietary zinc-bromide electrolyte solution manufactured at our facility, reflecting expanding market interest in long-duration energy storage applications.

During the quarter, we achieved several key milestones supporting our ONE TETRA 2030 objectives. Our Arkansas bromine production facility (the "Arkansas Bromine Project") is central to our strategy. Following Board approval of the final investment decision and receipt of $108 million in net proceeds from our equity offering, we are well positioned to complete the project in the fourth quarter of 2027 and begin start-up in early 2028. The project will support growth in deepwater and electrolyte markets well beyond 2030.

We also expanded our patented TETRA Neptune completion fluid offering with the introduction of TETRA Neptune Z-Lite ("Z-Lite"), a high-value deepwater completion fluid that leverages our TETRA Neptune chemistry to achieve higher densities while significantly reducing zinc content. We were especially pleased to be awarded a Beacon Offshore Energy contract to deploy TETRA Neptune Z-Lite in a three-well, 20,000 psi Gulf of America program. As deepwater offshore exploration and development activities continue to shift toward higher-pressure reservoirs, this is creating additional opportunities for our high-value completion fluids, such as TETRA Neptune.

We continue to advance our patented TETRA Oasis Total Desalination Solution ("TETRA Oasis"), supported by the industry's growing need to reduce produced-water disposal volumes and mitigate potential constraints on future crude oil production. Recent third-party data and customer discussions reinforce the urgency of addressing disposal limitations, which remains the foundation of our target to desalinate 500,000 barrels of produced water per day by 2030. Since our September 2025 Investor Day, market interest has expanded beyond disposal-volume reduction to include data centers targeting West Texas, shifting customer priorities toward the larger water requirements of that market. Recent discussions with hyperscalers lead us to believe that water-cooled data centers can operate at costs approximately 30% below those of conventional air-cooled facilities, a difference that is becoming increasingly important as computing density rises.

At the same time, our water midstream and E&P customers are evaluating how to move from smaller-scale pilot projects to large-scale desalination plants. We are pleased to be part of these discussions, and during the quarter we completed additional engineering work on a 100,000-barrel-per-day plant design. We are encouraged by the economies of scale as we move from a 25,000 bbl/d plant to a 100,000 bbl/d plant, with estimated capex and opex savings of up to 23% and 24%, respectively. The ability of TETRA Oasis to deliver improving project economics as the size and scope of our larger desalination plant design has been a key competitive advantage noted in our numerous commercial engagements with our customers. We also strengthened our intellectual property position, receiving Notices of Allowance that expand the scope of our Oasis patent portfolio to include a broad range of pre-treatment technologies critical to long-term membrane performance.

While permitting activities and customer diligence processes continue at a measured pace, we are making meaningful engineering and commercial progress. The ability and opportunity to convert a waste stream into a valuable resource to enable industrial and agricultural growth is very motivating and incredibly exciting for all of our employees.

Outlook

The business outlook for our deepwater and international activity remains strong, and the U.S. is showing signs of improvement. As announced, we have been awarded the three-well TETRA Neptune Z-lite project in the Gulf of America for Completion Fluids and Products, which we believe will start in 2026. Overall, we expect our base business to perform in line with market expectations, while recognizing that broader global market volatility may remain and that the timing of Neptune pipeline jobs could meaningfully impact our second half 2026 results.

Beyond 2026, we see multiple drivers supporting continued growth, including increased deepwater completion activity as customers work through a drilling-intensive cycle, further expansion of our long-duration energy storage electrolyte business, and the commercialization of our TETRA Oasis. A growing pipeline of Neptune projects, expanding data center and power infrastructure development in West Texas, along with the startup of the Arkansas Bromine facility, position TETRA to accelerate progress toward its ONE TETRA 2030 objectives.

Completion Fluids & Products

Revenue of $113.1 million
Net income before taxes of $27.2 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $29.9 million
Adjusted EBITDA margins of 26.4%

Completion Fluids & Products revenue rose 23% sequentially and 3% year over year, delivering the highest first-half revenue in ten years. Sequential growth was driven by completion fluid spot-sales in the ESSA (Europe Sub-Sahara Africa) region. Chemicals also set a first-half revenue record, driven by seasonal demand in Europe and increased sales of electrolytes. Calcium Chloride revenues set another record in the second quarter and continue to grow at a rate exceeding GDP, driven by sustained demand across diverse end markets and emerging opportunities associated with domestic semiconductor manufacturing.

Water & Flowback Services

Revenue of $72.5 million
Net income before taxes of $3.2 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $10.8 million
Adjusted EBITDA margins of 14.8%

Water & Flowback Services revenue increased 12% sequentially and 13% year over year, with every international region delivering ten-year-high second-quarter revenue except the Middle East. Results were led by record second-quarter Argentina revenue, driven by the ramp-up of early production facility projects in the Vaca Muerta basin. In addition, our patented SandStorm technology is making inroads in new markets. Our business continued to materially outpace the year-over-year decline in U.S. frac activity, leaving us well positioned to capture incremental upside from any recovery.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

In June, the Company issued approximately 12.4 million shares of common stock at a price of $9.25, resulting in net proceeds of $108.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $154.6 million and total debt was $183.3 million. Net debt was $28.7 million and our net leverage ratio (Net Debt/TTM Debt Covenant Adjusted EBITDA) was 0.4 times.

During the second quarter of 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $34.4 million, total Adjusted free cash flow was $9.9 million and base business Adjusted free cash flow was $22.8 million. Total capital expenditures were $23.3 million, including $10.9 million associated with the Arkansas project and $2.0 million of capitalized interest.

Tracking Progress to ONE TETRA 2030

On May 28, 2026, TETRA's Board of Directors approved the FID for the development of the Company's Arkansas Bromine Project, marking a key milestone in TETRA's growth strategy. Proceeds from our recently completed equity offering will be used to fund a portion of the anticipated completion costs with the balance of such costs to be funded by cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities or alternative sources of capital. The facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2027, with first production anticipated in early 2028. This project will support growth in deepwater and electrolyte markets well beyond 2030. Additional updates on our progress relative to our 2030 targets are as follows:

Energy Services

We believe that the deepwater market growth is stronger now than our initial 2030 outlook. Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East has made offshore oil production the most energy-secure barrel, with production economics below $50/bbl in most regions. According to Wood Mackenzie, investment in deepwater projects is expected to reach $111 billion this year, the highest since 2022. Deepwater rig activity is on the rise, and subsea tree installations, a key leading indicator of our completion fluids business, are expected to increase through the end of the decade. This supports continued confidence in the medium-term outlook for high-value deepwater completion fluids, especially where projects require specialized fluids for complex offshore wells.

As deepwater offshore exploration activity accelerates, we expect high-pressure, high-temperature ("HPHT") reservoirs to drive growing demand for our suite of higher-margin completion fluids, including TETRA Neptune and TETRA Neptune Z-Lite. Our Neptune portfolio expansion with TETRA Neptune Z-lite gives us the opportunity to further increase our deepwater market share, and the bromine plant will enable stronger margins through a vertically integrated supply chain. Against this backdrop, we believe TETRA is well positioned to support increasingly complex deepwater completion programs with differentiated fluids technology and a reliable supply.

In addition, our Flowback business is on track to grow significantly in 2026 and to more than double 2025 revenues in Argentina. Our patented TETRA SandStorm technology is being adopted as a standard across many markets. Overall, we believe we are on track to meet or exceed our 2030 targets for Energy Services.

Specialty Chemicals and Minerals

Calcium Chloride revenues set another record in the second quarter and continue to grow at a rate exceeding GDP. New markets for U.S. semiconductor chip manufacturing are also driving incremental revenue opportunities. Eos continues to ramp its manufacturing capacity and has set a year-end goal of 4 GWh of capacity before the end of 2026. This would represent a step change in electrolyte and PureFlow volumes in 2027 and beyond.

TETRA's 40,000-acre mineral position in Southwest Arkansas provides significant exposure to lithium and magnesium, two critical minerals benefiting from improving market fundamentals and growing U.S. supply-chain priorities. Our portfolio includes lithium royalty rights on approximately 35,000 acres held by Smackover Lithium, a 65% ownership interest in an estimated 585,000 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE"), and more than two million tons of measured and indicated magnesium resources. We did not assume any lithium contribution in our 2030 financial targets, however, favorable pricing, geopolitical, and supply-chain dynamics, along with synergies associated with the bromine plant, may create opportunities to accelerate the monetization of our critical minerals platform.

Water Treatment and Desalination

TETRA Oasis continues to gain commercial momentum, supported by growing engagement with hyperscalers, water midstream companies, and E&P operators. As AI-driven data center and power infrastructure development accelerates across West Texas, customers increasingly recognize the economic advantages of water-cooled infrastructure, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% compared with conventional air-cooled systems. Combined with tightening produced water disposal constraints and the industry's focus on beneficial reuse, we believe these trends are expanding the market opportunity for large-scale desalination solutions and reinforcing the long-term growth potential of TETRA Oasis.

We changed the definitions of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that investment (income) losses are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of our core business. Investment (income) losses consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity and debt securities of other companies, including our investment in Standard Lithium, and investments in common units and preferred units issued by two privately-held companies as well as the option to convert a convertible note issued by a privately-held company into equity interests. Investment (income) losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations. The magnitude and timing of investment (income) losses are driven by factors external to our core operations that management cannot control and does not consider when evaluating or managing day-to-day business performance. Accordingly, management believes the revised definitions of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA provide more meaningful measures of our operating performance and improve period-over-period comparability. The revisions to the Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA definitions apply symmetrically to both investment income and investment losses, and we will apply this definition consistently in future periods.

Adjusted EBIT is now defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, interest (income) expense, net, investment (income) losses, impairments and certain non-cash charges, and unusual adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is now defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, excluding impairments, certain special, unusual or other charges (or credits), including loss on debt extinguishment, interest (income) expense, net, investment (income) losses, depreciation and amortization and certain non-cash items such as equity-based compensation expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes. Equity-based compensation expense represents compensation that has been or will be paid in equity and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is a non-cash item.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations and without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis, and to assess the Company's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy activity levels and product mix, which significantly impact revenues. Such items are not currently determinable with reasonable accuracy and may be material to the Company's actual results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Schedule F: Unusual Charges and Credits (Unaudited)

Unusual charges and expenses, net of credits were $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which are reflected in Schedules D, E, and I, and include $0.6 million of legal fees related to a former subsidiary and $0.5 million of other expenses and charges. Management believes that the exclusion of the special charges and credits from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company's operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items. See Schedules D, E and I for additional information.

Schedule G: Non-GAAP Reconciliation to Total Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Base Business Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2026	March 31, 2026	June 30, 2025	June 30, 2026	June 30, 2025

Base Business Adjusted Free Cash Flow	$ 22,835	$ (23,474)	$ 38,397	$ (639)	$ 54,571

Total Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations, less capital expenditures net of asset sales, less payments on financing lease obligations plus cash distributions to the Company from investments and proceeds from sales of investments. Total Adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Base business Adjusted free cash flow is defined as total Adjusted free cash flow excluding TETRA's investments in the Arkansas project and capitalized interest associated with the Arkansas project. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to assess the Company's ability to retire debt, evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow, and to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group.

A reconciliation of Adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation including, among other things, depreciation expense and interest. Such reconciling items are not currently determinable pending finalization of cost estimates and funding structure, and may be material to the Company's actual results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Schedule H: Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Net Debt (Unaudited)

These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our ability to achieve our ONE TETRA 2030 objectives with respect to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA as well as other 2030 goals discussed herein. These statements also include statements concerning economic and operating conditions that are outside of our control, including statements concerning the oil and gas industry; potential revenue associated with our electrolyte products and prospective energy storage projects; adoption of our products and technologies by the market, including our TETRA Oasis and the anticipated demand for such technology; our mineral reserves and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources of lithium, magnesium, and/or bromine, the potential extraction of lithium, bromine, magnesium and other minerals, including potential extraction of those minerals designated as critical minerals, from our Evergreen Unit and other leased acreage, the economic viability thereof, the demand for such resources, the timing and costs of such activities, and the expected revenues, including any royalties, profits and returns from such activities; the timing and success of our bromine production wells and the construction of our bromine processing facility and related engineering activities and estimated costs, revenues and profitability thereof; projections or forecasts concerning the Company's business activities, including the completion of new projects, future results of operations, revenues, profitability, estimated earnings, earnings per share, estimated Adjusted EBITDA margins and statements regarding the Company's beliefs, expectations, plans, goals, future events and performance, and other statements that are not purely historical. With respect to the Company's disclosures of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, including bromine, lithium carbonate equivalent concentrations, magnesium, and other minerals, it is uncertain if all such resources will ever be economically developed. Investors are cautioned that mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value and further exploration may not result in the estimation of a mineral reserve. Further, there are a number of uncertainties related to processing lithium, which is an inherently difficult process. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of our resources can be economically or legally commercialized. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. With respect to the Company's disclosures regarding the joint venture for the Evergreen Unit the future relationship between the parties and the sharing of development costs is uncertain. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions; opportunity risks, such as mineral extraction, demand therefor, or realizing industrial and other benefits expected from bromine processing; our ability to develop a bromine processing facility and risks inherent in the construction of such facility, including delays, cost overruns, changes in scope, and the ability to obtain local government and regulatory approvals; the accuracy of our resources report or the timing of future updates to our resources report, feasibility study and economic assessment regarding our lithium, bromine, magnesium and other mineral acreage; our ability to obtain any necessary additional capital to finance our development plans, including the construction of our bromine processing plant; equipment supply, equipment defects and/or our ability to timely obtain equipment components; our ability to commercialize new technologies and products such as our TETRA Oasis, including the construction and operation of desalination facilities, which are subject risks inherent in the construction and operation of energy infrastructure facilities such as timeline delays and cost overruns and our ability to execute on increase plant scale; competition from existing or new competitors; risks associated with changes in laws and regulations, or the imposition of economic or trade sanctions affecting international commercial transactions, including legislative, regulatory and policy changes, such as unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls; and other the factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as well as other risks identified from time to time in its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
