Organization and Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated in July 2011 and is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. The Company isprimarily operates as a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company, offeringcompany. The Company offers complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics and storage solutions. The Company is engaged insolutions to our frac sand customers. These operations include the excavation, processing and sale of sand, or proppant, for use in hydraulic fracturing operations for the oil and natural gas industry andindustry. The Company also offers proppant logistics and wellsite storage solutions through its SmartSystemsTM products and services. In late 2021, the Company created its Industrial Products Solutions (“IPS”) business in order to diversify its customer base and markets it serves by offering sand to customers for industrial uses, such as glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, and recreation.
The Company completed construction of the first phase ofcommenced mining operations at its frac sand mine and related processing facility in Oakdale, Wisconsin and commenced operationsfacility in July 2012. Through multiple expansions at Oakdale and the recent acquisition in September 2020 of the Utica, Illinois mine and processing facilities,facility in September 2020, the Company has current annual processing capacity of approximately 7.1 million tons. With the acquisition of the Blair, Wisconsin mine and processing facility in March 2022, which is currently idled, we have the ability to expand to approximately 10.0 million tons should the Company decide to bring the Blair facility online.
The Company provides complete logistics solutions through its frac sand facilities with accessacquired rights in 2018 to three Class I rail lines and its in-basinoperate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. TheseIn 2020, the Company, as part of its acquisition of the Utica, Illinois facility, obtained rights to use a rail terminal located in El Reno, Oklahoma. In September 2021, the Company acquired the rights to construct and operate another transloading terminal in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania to service the Appalachian Basin, including the Marcellus and Utica Formations, which became operational in January 2022.
The Company provides complete logistics solutions enablethrough its mine sites and transload facilities with direct access to four Class I rail lines, and has the Companyability to cost-effectively deliver products to its customers anywhere inaccess all Class I rail lines within the United States.States and Canada.
The Company provides proppant storage and management solutions through its SmartSystems products and services under which it offers various solutions that create efficiencies, flexibility, enhanced safety and reliability for customers by providing the capability to unload, store and deliver proppant at the wellsite, as well as the ability to rapidly set up, takedown and transport the entire system. The SmartDepotTM silo system includes passive and active dust suppression technology, along with the capability of a gravity-fed operation. The Company has developed a new transload technology, the self-contained SmartPathTM transloader, to complement its existing solutions. The SmartPath is a mobile sand transloading system designed to work with bottom dump trailers and features a drive over conveyor, surge bin, and dust collection system. Rapid deployment trailers are designed for quick setup, takedown and transportation of the entire SmartSystem, and they detach from the wellsite equipment, which allows for removal from the wellsite during operation. A proprietary software program, the SmartSystem TrackerTM allows customers to monitor silo-specific information, including location, proppant type and proppant inventory. We believe that our SmartSystems reduce trucking and related fuel consumption for our customers, helping them meet their goals to reduce their carbon footprint in their daily operations.

The information presented below supplements the complete description of our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 20202021 Form 10-K, filed with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2021.8, 2022.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include, but are not limited to: the sand reserves and their impact

on calculating the depletion expense under the units-of-production method; the depreciation and amortization associated with property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, impairment considerations of assets, (including impairment of identifiedincluding intangible assets, fixed assets, and other long-lived assets);inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair value of acquired assets and assume liabilities; stock-based compensation; recoverability of deferred tax assets; inventory reserve; and the collectability of receivables; and certain liabilities.
Actual results could differ materially from management’s best estimates as additional information or actual results become available in the future.future, and those differences could be material. The decreaseddecreases in demand related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic in 2020 and 2021 and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine have caused dramatic swings in oil and natural gas prices and significant volatility in the oilfield service sector over the last 18 months.sector. The Company is currently unable to estimate the impact of these events on its future financial position and results of operations. Therefore, the Company can give no assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Employee Retention Credit
The Company qualified for federal government assistance through employee retention credit provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. During the threeAs of December 31, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, the Company recorded $3,352 of employee retention credits in other income on its consolidated income statementsincluded $4,676 and included$4,317, respectively, in prepaid expenses and other current assets on theits consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.sheets related to receivables for the employee retention credits. The calculation of the credit iswas based on employees continued employment and represents a portion of the wages paid to them. For income tax purposes, the credit will result in decreased expense related to the wages it offsets in the period received.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,There are no recent accounting pronouncements that materially affect the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which modifies how companies recognize expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by an entity at each reporting date. Existing GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology whereby companies are prohibited from recording an expected loss until it is probable that the loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to use a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (“CECL”) and requires consideration of a broad range of reasonable and supportable information to record and report credit loss estimates, even when the CECL is remote. Companies will be required to record the allowance for credit losses and deduct that amount from the basisstatements of the asset and a related expense will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses on the income statement, similar to bad debt expense under existing GAAP. There is much latitude given to entities in determining the methodology for calculating the CECL. The guidance is effective for the Company for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. While the Company is still in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2016-13 and its related updates on the consolidated financial statements, at the time of adoption, it believes the primary effect, if any will be an allowance recorded against its accounts and unbilled receivables on its balance sheet and related expense on its income statement. The Company cannot determine the financial impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption as its accounts and unbilled receivables balances are affected by ongoing transactions with customers.Company.

NOTE 3 — Business CombinationAcquisition
Eagle Proppants HoldingsAsset Acquisition Blair Facility
On September 18, 2020,March 4, 2022, the Company entered into an Equitya Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Eagle MaterialsHi-Crush Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Eagle”HCR”), and Hi-Crush Blair LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of HCR (“Blair”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding interests in Eagle Oil and Gas Proppants Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiaryinterest of Eagle (“Eagle Proppants Holdings”),Blair from EagleHCR for aggregate non-cashcash consideration of approximately $2,080. In satisfaction of the$6,450, subject to customary purchase price the Company issued to Eagle 1,504 shares of its common stock; the Company issued an additional 14 shares of its common stockadjustments as set forth in January 2021 as settlement of the net working capital adjustment. The number of

shares issued was determined by the weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the twenty days preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the acquisition of Eagle Proppants Holdings, the Company, as borrower, also entered into a Loan Agreement with Eagle, as lender. See Note 7 - Debt, for additional information.(the “Transaction”).
The primary assets of Eagle Proppants Holdings and its subsidiaries include aBlair consist of an idle frac sand mine and related processing facility located in Utica, Illinois and a transloadBlair, Wisconsin. The Blair facility, in nearby Peru, Illinois. The Utica facility hasonce operational, will have approximately 1.62.9 million tons of total annual processing capacity and hascontains an onsite, unit train capable rail terminal with access to the BNSF rail line throughClass 1 Canadian National Railway.
The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition based on an evaluation of the Peru, Illinois transload facility.guidance in ASC 805. The Company determined that there was not a substantive process in place that generates outputs that can be sold to a customer, and therefore the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business. The Company recognized identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. All assets acquired are allocated to property, plant and equipment, net on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. The Company also recorded an increase to its asset retirement obligations and a corresponding increase in purchases of property plant and equipment in the amount of $8,281 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The table below presents the calculation of the total purchase consideration:
Base price consideration$2,000 
20-day volume weighted average price of Smart Sand stock$1.33 
Shares issued1,504 
Closing share price on September 18, 2020$1.37 
Total equity issued$2,0606,450 
Net working capital adjustmentadjustments and capitalized costs$2097 
Total purchase consideration$2,0806,547

The Company’s final allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition was calculated as follows:
Fair Value
Assets Acquired
Cash$309 
Accounts receivable75 
Inventory2,459 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets124 
Property, plant and equipment60,310 
Right-of-use assets9,603 
Total assets acquired72,880 
Liabilities Assumed
Accounts payable16 
Accrued expenses and other liabilities2,008 
Asset retirement obligations8,424 
Operating lease liabilities9,603 
Deferred income taxes11,149 
Total liabilities assumed31,200 
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired$41,680 

The estimated aggregate fair value of the net assets acquired was $41,680, which exceeded the total consideration and results in a bargain purchase gain of $39,600 on the acquisition date, which is included in net income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that the seller wanted to exit the business relatively quickly and that there were a limited number of potential buyers due to the downturn in the market, which resulted in the bargain purchase gain.
The Company determined the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the highest and best use of such assets as required by GAAP. Cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities were based on underlying assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value. The Company acquired $2,050 of contractual receivables; however, it does not expect to collect on $1,975 of such
11


SMART SAND, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
contractual receivables as these customers are in bankruptcy proceedings. The fair value of inventory was determined using market prices the Company expected to receive for the inventory when it is sold. Operating leases were considered to be at market rates and the fair values of the associated operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets were determined using the Company’s lease accounting policies. The fair value of the asset retirement obligations was calculated consistently with the Company’s other asset retirement obligations and includes assumptions about inflation and discount rates over time to represent the estimated future cost of dismantling, restoring and reclaiming the plant and mines in accordance with legal obligations. Deferred income taxes represent the temporary differences between future expenses for GAAP purposes and income tax purposes at the Company’s applicable enacted tax rate. The Company determined the fair values of the property, plant and equipment with the assistance of external valuation specialists. The fair value was based on the highest and best use, as required by GAAP, which was determined to be the orderly liquidation value rather than the value imputed by other valuation methods. Total acquisition costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $891. Company’s allocation of the purchase price was complete as of December 31, 2020.

NOTE 11 — Earnings Per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of restricted stock. Diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of restricted stock outstanding during the period calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, although restricted stock is excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Because their effect would be anti-dilutive, 2,253 shares of common stock underlying equity-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for both three and six months ended June 30, 2020. There is no reconciliation between weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for any period presented.

Overview 

The Company
We are a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company, offeringcompany. The Company offers complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics solutions to our frac sand customers. We produce low-cost, high quality Northern White frac sand, which is a premium sand used as proppant used to enhance hydrocarbon recovery rates in the hydraulic fracturing of oil and natural gas wells.wells and for a variety of industrial applications. We also offer proppant logistics solutions to our customers through our in-basin transloading terminalterminals and our SmartSystemsTM wellsite proppant storage capabilities. In late 2021, we created our Industrial Products Solutions (“IPS”) business in order to diversify our customer base and markets we serve by offering sand for industrial uses. We market our products and services as one operating segment, primarily to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, and oilfield service companies.companies, and industrial manufacturers. We sell our sand under a combination of contract andthrough long-term contracts or spot sales in the open market, andmarket. We provide wellsite proppant storage solutions services and equipment under flexible contract terms custom tailored to meet the needs of our customers. We believe that, among other things, the size and favorable geologic characteristics of our sand reserves, the strategic location and logistical advantages of our facilities, our proprietary SmartDepotTM portable wellsite proppant storage silos, SmartPathTM transloader, and the industry experience of our senior management team make us as a highly attractive provider of frac sand and proppant logistics services from the mine to the wellsite.
We incorporated in Delaware in July 2011 and began operations with 1.1 million tons of annual processing capacity in July 2012. After several expansions and an acquisition, our current operational annual processing capacity is approximately 7.1 million tons of frac sand.

We operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. We operate this terminal under a long-term agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway to service the Van Hook terminal directly along with the other key oil and natural gas exploration and production basins of North America. We provide Northern White sand in-basinIn January 2022, we began operations at thisan additional unit train capable transloading terminal which allowsin Waynesburg, Pennsylvania to service the Appalachian Basin, including the Marcellus and Utica Formations. These terminals allow us to offer more efficient and sustainable delivery options to customers operating in the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin.our customers.
We also offer to our customers portable wellsite proppant storage and management solutions through our SmartSystems products and services. Our SmartSystems provide our customers with the capability to unload, store and deliver proppant at the wellsite, as well as the ability to rapidly set up, takedown and transport the entire system. This capability creates efficiencies, flexibility, enhanced safety and reliability for customers. Through our SmartSystems wellsite proppant storage solutions, we offer the SmartDepot and SmartDepotXL™ silo systems, SmartPath transloader, and our rapid deployment trailers. Our SmartDepot silos include passive and active dust suppression technology, along with the capability of a gravity-fed operation. Our self-contained SmartPath transloader is a mobile sand transloading system designed to work with bottom dump trailers and features a drive over conveyor, surge bin, and dust collection system, and we believe the system has the ability to keep up with any hydraulic fracturing operation. Our rapid deployment trailers are designed for quick setup, takedown and transportation of the entire SmartSystem, and detach from the wellsite equipment, which allows for removal from the wellsite during operation. We have also developed a proprietary software program, the SmartSystem Tracker™, which allows our SmartSystems customers to monitor silo-specific information, including location, proppant type and proppant inventory. We believe that our SmartSystems reduce tracking and related fuel consumption for our customers, helping them meet their goals to reduce their carbon footprint in their daily operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2021 we started our IPS business whereby we offer our sand to customers for various industrial purposes, such as glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, and recreation. While we are still in the early stages of this business, we believe that as it grows, it will provide us with the ability to diversify our sales into more stable, consumer-driven products to help mitigate price volatility in the oil and gas industry.

Business CombinationRecent Acquisitions

On September 18, 2020,March 4, 2022, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hi-Crush Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HCR”), and Hi-Crush Blair LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of HCR (“Blair”) pursuant to which we acquired Eagle Oilall of the issued and Gas Proppants Holdings LLC (“Eagle Proppants Holdings”),outstanding limited liability company interest of Blair from HCR for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million. The estimated aggregate fair value of the net assets acquired was $41.7$6.5 million, which exceeded the total consideration and resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $39.6 million on the acquisition date.
The Utica, Illinois mining and processing assets were idle at the date of acquisition; we started mining and selling sand out of this location in the fourth quarter of 2020.subject to customary working capital adjustments.

Market Trends
Our historical results of operations and cash flows are not indicative of results of operations and cash flows to be expected in the future.
In recent years, the increasing supply of sand, particularly in-basin sand, relative to demand, has led to a continued depression of frac sand prices. During most of 2020, demand for frac sand declined significantly as a result of decreased demand for oil and natural gas as a result of the ongoing effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which caused a global decrease in all means of travel, the closure of borders between countries and a general slowing of economic activity worldwide. Activity in the oil and gas industry began to rebound in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half ofthrough 2021 as the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines ramped up and travel restrictions lessened. We have seen an increase in the volume of sand sold since the global economy began reopening, howeverHowever, the prices of frac sand remained depressed during 2021 as supply remained out of balance with demand even though market activity was improving. Through the first six months of 2022, supply and demand fundamentals have continued to be depressedimprove and frac sand prices began recovering from previous historic lows.

Additionally, the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine has also contributed to dramatic swings in oil and natural gas prices and significant volatility in the oilfield service sector. However, we cannot predict when fracif this trend will continue or if sand prices will increase, decrease or stabilize.
Northern White frac sand, which is found predominantly in Wisconsin and limited portions of Minnesota, Illinois, and Missouri, is considered a premium proppant due to its favorable physical characteristics. While we anticipate that regional sand will continue to affect the demand for Northern White sand in some of the oil and natural gas producing basins in which we operate, we believe there will continue to be demand for our high-quality Northern White frac sand. In particular, we believe that Northern White frac sand has logistical advantages in the Marcellus,Appalachian basin, Bakken andbasin, the western basins of Colorado, Wyoming, and

Wyoming. in Canada. We expect demand for our frac sand to continue to be supported by customers who are focused on long-term well performance and ultimate recovery of reserves from the oil and natural gas wells they are completing as well as those interested in the efficiency of their logistics supply chain and delivery of sand to the wellsite. Additionally, we believe market trends continue to support increased proppant usage per well drilled due to operator focus on well efficiencies through increasing lengths of drilling laterals, use of simul-fracking techniques and other well enhancement strategies. As the amount of sand per well continues to increase, we believe the delivery of sand to the operating basins by rail in bulk shipments to terminals in close proximity to drilling activity provides more sustainable and efficient delivery of sand to meet a customer’s long term proppant needs. Finally, we believe that the adoption of our SmartSystems in the marketplace, which has a smaller footprint on customer sites than other sand storage solutions, will allow us to sell more sand when packaged with our last mile solutions. We believe the combination of our high quality Northern White sand delivered in bulk to in basin terminals and ultimately delivered to the wellsite through our SmartSystems wellsite proppant storage solutions provides our customers efficient and sustainable sand supply to the wellsite that will reduce trucking and related fuel consumption for our customers, helping them to meet their goals to reduce their carbon footprint in their daily operations.
Demand in the IPS business is relatively stable as customers are spread over a wide range of industries including glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, recreation and more. The IPS business is primarily influenced by macroeconomic drivers such as consumer demand and population growth. We began our diversification into the IPS business in late 2021 and we expect to see continued growth throughout North America.

Revenues
Revenues were $29.6$68.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022, during which time we sold approximately 767,0001,196,000 tons of sand. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 were $26.1$29.6 million, during which time we sold approximately 208,000767,000 tons of sand. The key factors contributing to the increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 20202021 were as follows:
Sand sales revenue increased from $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of higher total volumes sold. The volumes sold during the second quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted by depressed oil prices driven by oversupply relative to the decreased demand due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Sand sales during the second quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by the continued depression of frac sand prices due to oversupply.
We had no contractual shortfall revenue$67.1 million or 133% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared2022 as a result of an increase in total volumes sold of approximately 56% and higher average sale prices of our sand. Higher demand relative to $14.0supply for oil and natural gas has led to increased prices in oil and natural gas which we believe has led to increased demand for frac sand resulting in higher sand prices.
Logistics revenue, which includes freight for certain mine gate sand sales, railcar usage, logistics services, and SmartSystems rentals, was approximately $1.6 million of contractual shortfall revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our customer contracts dictate whether2022 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in logistics revenue was due to a higher utilization of our SmartSystems fleet.

shortfall is earned quarterly or at the end of their respective contract year. We recognize revenue to the extent of the unfulfilled minimum contracted quantity at the shortfall price per ton as stated in the contract.
Logistics revenue, which includes freight for certain mine gate sand sales, railcar usage, logistics services, and SmartSystems rentals, was approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in logistics revenue was due to the shift of sales to more in-basin shipments, which includes transportation and any other handling services, rather than mine gate shipments.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $32.0$59.7 million and $11.9$32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes sold in the current period and increasedthe related increase in production costs and freight costs that accompany higher volumes. Additionally, higher labor costs and utilities have also contributed to an increase in cost due to the shift of sales to more in-basin deliveries. During the second quarter of 2020, headcount reductions and other cost savings measures were implemented as a result of the onset of COVID-19. Headcount has since increased to support the increased sales activity, though the Company remains focused on other cost-saving measures.goods sold.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Contribution margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Gross profit is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to contribution margin, net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and net cash provided by 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 measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider contribution margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because contribution margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Contribution Margin
We use contribution margin, which we define as total revenues less costscost of goods sold excluding depreciation, depletion and accretion of asset retirement obligations, to measure our financial and operating performance. Contribution margin excludes other operating expenses and income, including costs not directly associated with the operations of our business such as accounting, human resources, information technology, legal, sales and other administrative activities. 
We believe that reporting contribution margin and contribution margin per ton sold provides useful performance metrics to management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, because these metrics provide an operating and financial measure of our ability, as a combined business, to generate margin in excess of our operating cost base.
Gross profit is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to contribution margin. Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP. Since contribution margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of contribution margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 
We define EBITDA as net income, plus: (i) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; (ii) income tax expense (benefit); (iii) interest expense; and (iv) franchise taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus: (i) gain or loss on sale of fixed assets or discontinued operations; (ii) integration and transition costs associated with specified transactions; (iii) equity compensation; (iv) acquisition and development costs; (v) non-recurring cash charges related to restructuring, retention and other similar actions; (vi) earn-out, contingent consideration obligations and other acquisition and development costs; and (vii) non-cash charges and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets;
the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;opportunities;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;expenditures;
our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods or capital structure; and

Our Oakdale Equipment Financing is secured by substantially all of the assets at our Oakdale facility. The balance on this facility as of June 30, 2022 was $13.6 million. Minimum cash payments on this facility for the remainder of 2022 are anticipated to be $2.3 million. Our various notes payable are primarily secured by our manufactured SmartSystems equipment. Total debt under these notes payable as of June 30, 2022 was $4.7 million. Minimum cash payments on these notes payable for the remainder of 2022 are anticipated to be $1.6 million. There was $3.0 million outstanding on our ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.
Operating Leases
We use leases primarily to procure certain office space, railcars and heavy equipment as part of its operations. The majority of our lease payments are fixed and determinable. Our operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2022 were $33.2 million. Minimum cash payments on operating leases for the remainder of 2022 are anticipated to be $5.9 million.
Mineral Rights Property
The Company is obligated under certain contracts for minimum payments for the right to use land for extractive activities. The annual minimum payments under these contracts are approximately $2.5 million per year in the aggregate for the next 15 years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had outstanding performance bonds of $9.5$17.7 million and $10.0$8.6 million at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The increase in performance bonds is due primarily to the acquisition of the Blair facility and the assumption of performance bonds related to its potential future reclamation obligations.

Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had contractual obligations for the ABL Credit Facility, Oakdale Equipment Financing, notes payable, Acquisition Liquidity Support Facility, operating and finance leases, minimum payments for the rights to mine land, capital expenditures, asset retirement obligations, and other commitments to municipalities for maintenance.

Environmental Matters
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, hazardous materials, air and water emissions, environmental contamination and reclamation and the protection of the environment and natural resources. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.

Seasonality
Our business is affected to some extent by seasonal fluctuations in weather that impact the production levels for a portion of our wet sand processing capacity. While our dry plants are able to process finished product volumes evenly throughout the year, our excavation and our wet sand processing activities have historically been limited to primarily non-winter months. As a consequence, we have experienced lower cash operating costs in the first and fourth quarter of each calendar year, and higher cash operating costs in the second and third quarter of each calendar year when we overproduced to meet demand in the winter months. These higher cash operating costs were capitalized into inventory and expensed when these tons are sold, which can lead to us having higher overall cost of production in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year as we expense inventory costs that were previously capitalized. We have indoor wet processing facilities at each of our plant locations, which allow us to produce wet sand inventory year-round to support a portion of our dry sand processing capacity, which may reduce certain of the effects of this seasonality. We may also sell frac sand for use in oil and natural gas producing basins where severe weather

conditions may curtail drilling activities and, as a result, our sales volumes to those areas may be reduced during such severe weather periods.

Customer Concentration
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from EQT Production Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, and Encino Energy accounted for 28.3%, 18.7%, and 10.1%, respectively, of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from Rice Energy (a subsidiarypredecessor of EQT Production Corporation), Halliburton Energy Services, and Enerplus accounted for 30.9%, 21.8%, and 13.0%, respectively, of total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, sales to Rice Energy (a subsidiary of EQT Corporation), U.S. Well Services, Liberty, and Calfrac accounted for 26.6%, 23.3%, 18.2%, and 11.8%, respectively, of total revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include, but are not limited to: existing sand reserves and their impact on calculating the depletion expense under the units-of-production method; depreciation and amortization associated with property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; impairment considerations of assets, (including impairment of identifiedincluding intangible assets, fixed assets, and other long-lived assets);inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities; stock-based compensation; recoverability of deferred tax assets; inventory reserve; and the collectability of receivables; and certain liabilities.
Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information or actual results become available in the future, and those differences could be material. The decreases in demand related to COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine have caused adramatic swings in oil and natural gas prices and significant amount of volatility in the oilfield servicesservice sector during 2020 and frac sand prices in particular have remained depressed, despite recent increases in oil prices.since. We continue to actively monitor the global impact of current events, but we are currently unable to estimate the impact of these events on our future financial position and results of operations or give any assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The majority of our debt is financed under fixed interest rates. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at our option, either a LIBOR rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”). The applicable margin is 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% for ABR loans. The balance on our ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022 was $3.0 million. We do not believe this represents a material interest rate risk.
We have considered other changes in our exposure to market risks during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and have determined that there have been no additional material changes to our exposure to market risks from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021.8, 2022.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
We are committed to maintaining a culture that prioritizes mine safety. We believe that our commitment to safety, the environment and the communities in which we operate is critical to the success of our business. Our sand mining operations are subject to mining safety regulation. The U.S. Mining Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) is the primary regulatory organization governing frac sand mining and processing. Accordingly, MSHA regulates quarries, surface mines, underground mines and the industrial mineral processing facilities associated with and located at quarries and mines. The mission of MSHA is to administer the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and to enforce compliance with mandatory miner safety and health standards. As part of MSHA’s oversight, representatives perform at least two unannounced inspections annually for each above-ground facility.
We are also subject to regulations by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (“OSHA”) which has promulgated rules for workplace exposure to respirable silica for several other industries. Respirable silica is a known health hazard for workers exposed over long periods. MSHA is expected to adopt similar rules as part of its “Long Term Items” for rulemaking. Airborne respirable silica is associated with work areas at our site and is monitored closely through routine testing and MSHA inspection. If the workplace exposure limit is lowered significantly, we may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for equipment to reduce this exposure. We also adhere to NISA’s respiratory protection program, and ensures that workers are provided with fitted respirators and ongoing radiological monitoring.
Our operations are subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, which imposes stringent health and safety standards on numerous aspects of mineral extraction and processing operations, including the training of personnel, operating procedures, operating equipment, and other matters. Our failure to comply with such standards, or changes in such standards or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition or otherwise impose significant restrictions on our ability to conduct mineral extraction and processing operations. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.  Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this Report.
