Cactus Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results

Cactus, Inc. (NYSE: WHD) (“Cactus” or the “Company”) today announced
financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

Financial Summary

Scott Bender, President and CEO of Cactus, commented, “The second
quarter was strong, resulting in double digit sequential revenue growth
across all of our business lines and regions. The improvement in margins
reflects our operating leverage and differentiated supply chain
capabilities.

“We expect operating results in the third quarter of 2018 to continue to
validate the strength of our business model with new and existing
customers. Our 15 locations throughout the U.S. provide us flexibility
to manage changes in activity across various basins. In addition, we
believe the breadth and profile of our customer base better positions us
to deal with potential Permian takeaway issues.”

Mr. Bender continued, “Looking to the fourth quarter and early 2019, we
expect to commence commercialization of new completions innovations that
we have been developing in concert with key customers.”

Revenue Categories

Product

Second quarter 2018 product revenue increased $14.4 million, or 24.4%,
sequentially, driven primarily by greater sales volume of wellhead and
production equipment. Gross profit increased $6.4 million sequentially
with margins improving 150 basis points due to more favorable supply
chain execution. Cactus’ estimated market share(3) was 26.0%
for second quarter 2018 compared to 26.4% for first quarter 2018, while
the U.S. onshore quarterly rig count averaged 1,017 rigs in second
quarter 2018 compared to 948 rigs in first quarter 2018.

Rental

Second quarter 2018 rental revenue increased $5.8 million, or 19.9%,
sequentially, due to the Company’s enhanced ability to respond to the
increased demand across nearly all the major U.S. basins in which the
Company operates. Gross profit increased $4.0 million sequentially with
margins improving 190 basis points, resulting from a combination of
volume, improved operating efficiencies and pricing.

Field Service and Other

Second quarter 2018 field service and other revenue increased $3.3
million, or 12.1%, sequentially, due to an increase in billable hours
and ancillary services associated with greater volume of product sales
and rental activity. Gross profit increased $1.6 million sequentially
with margins increasing 310 basis points due to higher average pricing
for billable services compared to first quarter 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A for second quarter 2018 was $9.9 million (7.1% of revenues),
compared to $9.1 million (7.9% of revenues) for first quarter 2018 and
$7.3 million (9.0% of revenues) for second quarter 2017. The sequential
increase is primarily related to $0.4 million higher non-cash
stock-based compensation expense, as well as increased public company
costs.

Supplemental Information

Assuming Cactus, Inc. held all units in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus
LLC”), its operating company subsidiary, at the beginning of the period,
with the resulting additional income tax expense related to the
incremental income attributable to Cactus, Inc., the Company’s diluted
earnings per share would have been $0.46 for second quarter 2018. The
Company believes this supplemental information is useful for evaluating
performance period over period. The table below sets forth additional
detail regarding the adjusted amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $28.4 million of cash on hand, no
bank debt outstanding and the full $50.0 million of capacity available
under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Operating cash flow was
$42.1 million for second quarter 2018 and $80.7 million for the first
six months of 2018, reflecting strong operating results.

Net capital expenditures were $15.7 million for second quarter 2018 and
$31.3 million for the first six months of 2018. The majority of the
spend related to investments in rental equipment, particularly frac
valves, to meet strong customer demand for the Company’s differentiated
frac rental equipment.

Other Events

On July 16, 2018, Cactus closed a public offering of 11,196,562 shares
of its Class A common stock at $33.25 per share and received $359.3
million of net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts. Cactus
contributed the net proceeds to its operating company subsidiary, Cactus
LLC, in exchange for common units representing limited liability company
interests in Cactus LLC (“CW Units”). Cactus LLC then used the net
proceeds to redeem 11,196,562 CW Units from certain of the other owners
of Cactus LLC and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common
stock were canceled.

After these transactions, Cactus has outstanding 37,646,562 shares of
Class A common stock (representing 50.3% of the total voting power) and
37,243,210 shares of Class B common stock (representing 49.7% of the
