Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. Q1 FY26 Results

Our first quarter results were impacted by higher plant operating costs. Following severe winter weather in January that disrupted West Texas oilfield activity, Atlas incurred expenses related to maintenance activities at its flagship Kermit facility beyond its original expectations. We saw a reduction in those higher costs as the quarter progressed and expect improved plant operating costs in the second quarter. With the underlying commodity macro environment having improved rapidly over the course of the first quarter, Atlas remains effectively sold out for the second quarter and expects volumes to remain elevated for the remainder of 2026. The recently executed incremental 1.4 GW Global Framework Agreement with Caterpillar Inc. elevated Atlas’s commercial opportunities almost immediately. With power generating equipment already in short supply, having access to a portfolio of large load, power dense natural gas reciprocating generator sets that are in high demand, has put Atlas in the driver seat for opportunities with customers that were previously unattainable due to lack of visibility on equipment. Atlas has elevated its opportunity set from medium sized Industrial opportunities to now squarely in the crosshairs for data center deployments. On April 1, Atlas announced our first behind-the-meter 5-year power purchase agreement for 120 MW, with a subsidiary of an investment-grade technology infrastructure provider. In sum, Atlas is now positioned to meaningfully grow the power business from total expected deployments of 550 MW next year to approximately 2 GW by the end of the decade, which would completely transform the cash flows of the company and create meaningful value to our stakeholders.”

I have never been more excited about the opportunity we are currently facing than what is occurring in the power markets across the United States. Our first contract along with the exciting Global Framework Agreement that we signed recently with CAT is a clear sign that we plan to position Atlas to be a leading provider of private power. We now have surety of supply and scale to become a critical player in the fast-evolving private grid space. We are just now making our presence known to both investors and to customers who are facing grid constraints across Texas and the United States.”
