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.”
