NOTE 1 — Organization and Nature of Business & Market Update
Organization and Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated in July 2011 and is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. The Company primarily operates as a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company. The Company offers complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics solutions 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. 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 commenced mining operations at its Oakdale, Wisconsin facility in July 2012. Through multiple expansions at Oakdale and the acquisition of the Utica, Illinois 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 acquired rights in 2018 to operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. In 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 through its mine sites and transload facilities with direct access to four Class I rail lines, and has the ability to access all Class I rail lines within the United 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 self-contained SmartPathTM 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. 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.

NOTE 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The information presented below supplements the complete description of our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2022.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of the Company are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

SMART SAND, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
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: impairment considerations of assets, including intangible assets, fixed assets, and inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair value of acquired assets and assume liabilities; 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, and those differences could be material. The decreases 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. 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. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company included $4,676 and $4,317, respectively, in prepaid expenses and other current assets on its consolidated balance sheets related to receivables for the employee retention credits. The calculation of the credit was 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
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that materially affect the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3 — Acquisition
Asset Acquisition Blair Facility
On March 4, 2022, the Company 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 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interest of Blair from HCR for aggregate cash consideration of $6,450, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”).
The primary assets of Blair consist of an idle frac sand mine and related processing facility located in Blair, Wisconsin. The Blair facility, once operational, will have approximately 2.9 million tons of total annual processing capacity and contains an onsite, unit train capable rail terminal with access to the Class 1 Canadian National Railway.
The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition based on an evaluation of the 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 $ 6,450 
Net working capital adjustments and capitalized costs 97 
Total purchase consideration $ 6,547

NOTE 12 — Income Taxes
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by estimating the annual expected effective tax rate and applying that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rate was approximately 108.7% and (6.0)%, respectively, based on the annual effective tax rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rate was approximately 34.1% and 16.0%, respectively, based on the annual effective tax rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the statutory tax rate was 21.0%. The computation of the effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, carrybacks, and state apportionment changes, among other items.
The Company has recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions included in its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, related to its depletion deduction methodology, and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. There was $2,163 liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and there was no material change for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to fully realize the benefits of certain existing deductible temporary differences and has recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets, which is included in the deferred tax liabilities, long-term, net on its consolidated balance sheet, and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $1,574 and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on its consolidated statements of operations and there was no material change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Overview 

The Company
We are a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company. 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 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 and for a variety of industrial applications. We also offer proppant logistics solutions to our customers through our in-basin transloading terminals and our SmartSystemsTM wellsite 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 to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, oilfield service companies, and industrial manufacturers. We sell our sand through long-term contracts or spot sales in the open market. 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

(UNAUDITED)
storage silos and SmartPathTM transloader, access to all Class I rail lines, and the industry experience of our senior management team make us as a highly attractive provider of sand and logistics services.
We incorporated in Delaware in July 2011 and began operations at our Oakdale facility with 1.1 million tons of annual processing capacity in July 2012. We currently have 7.1 million tons of annual capacity at our Oakdale and Utica facilities with the ability to expand annual processing capacity to approximately 10.0 million tons of sand should we bring the Blair facility online.
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. In January 2022, we began operations at an additional unit train capable transloading terminal in 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 our customers.
We also offer to our customers portable wellsite 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.

Recent Acquisitions

On 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 all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interest of Blair from HCR for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $6.5 million, 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.
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 through 2021 as the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines ramped up and travel restrictions lessened. However, 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 improve and frac sand prices began recovering from previous historic lows.

(UNAUDITED)

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 if this trend will continue or if sand prices will increase, decrease or stabilize.
Northern White 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 sand. In particular, we believe that Northern White sand has logistical advantages in the Appalachian basin, Bakken basin, the western basins of Colorado, Wyoming, and 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 $68.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, during which time we sold approximately 1,196,000 tons of sand. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $29.6 million, during which time we sold approximately 767,000 tons of sand. The key factors contributing to the increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:
Sand sales revenue increased from $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $67.1 million or 133% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 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 supply 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 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.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(UNAUDITED)

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $59.7 million and $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes sold in the current period and the 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 of goods sold.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $(2.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in profitability for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher average sale prices of our sand relative to the cost to produce and deliver products to our customers.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $7.6 million and $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded non-cash bad debt expense of $19.6 million, which is the difference between the $54.6 million accounts receivable balance that was subject to litigation and the $35.0 million cash payment received under the Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of June 28, 2021 (the “Settlement Agreement”), by and between the Company and U.S. Well Services, LLC (“U.S. Well”). Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes increased to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to accrued bonuses as management has reinstated a formal employee bonus plan based on company performance for 2022 and increased staffing to support our IPS business segment. Depreciation and amortization remained constant at $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Other Income
In 2021 we qualified for federal government assistance through employee retention credit provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $3.4 million in employee retention credits, whereas for the three months ended June 30, 2022, we did not record any employee retention credits.
Interest Expense
We incurred $0.4 million and $0.5 million of net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was approximately 108.7% and (6.0)%, respectively, based on the annual effective tax rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. The computation of the effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, carrybacks, and state apportionment changes, among other items.
As of June 30, 2022, we have recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions included in deferred tax liabilities, long-term, net on our balance sheet, related to our depletion deduction methodology. As of June 30, 2022, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to fully realize the benefits of certain existing deductible temporary differences and have recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets, which is included in liabilities, long-term, net on our balance sheet, and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Net Loss
Net loss was $(0.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net loss of $(27.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net loss is attributable to an increase in total volumes sold and higher average sale prices of our sand. Additionally, the difference was also due to non-cash bad debt expense recorded against the residual balance of accounts receivable that were previously the subject of litigation for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Revenues
Revenues were $110.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, during which time we sold approximately 2,048,000 tons of sand. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $57.1 million, during which time we sold approximately 1,527,000 tons of sand. The key factors contributing to the increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:
Sand sales revenue increased from $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $105.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in total volumes sold of approximately 34%. In addition to an increase in our volume, the 103% increase in our revenue is also attributable to higher average sale prices of our sand. Sand prices have increased due to a shift in supply and demand, which we believe is driven by increased prices in oil and natural gas.
We had $1.9 million contractual shortfall revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.7 million of contractual shortfall revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our customer contracts dictate whether 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 $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.4

million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in logistics revenue was due to the shift from mine gate sales to in-basin sales, which include transportation and any other handling services, partially offset by higher utilization of our SmartSystems fleet.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $103.3 million and $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes sold in the current period and the 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 of goods sold.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $7.0 million and $(7.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The improvement in the gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher average sale prices of our sand relative to the cost to produce and deliver products to our customers.
Operating expenses were $15.6 million and $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded non-cash bad debt expense of $19.6 million, which is the difference between the $54.6 million accounts receivable balance that was subject to litigation and the $35.0 million cash payment received under the Settlement Agreement. Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes increased to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to accrued bonuses as management has reinstated a formal employee bonus plan based on company performance for 2022 and increased staffing to support our IPS business segment. Depreciation and amortization remained constant at $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by higher travel costs post-COVID-19, increased royalty expense due to higher total volumes sold and development costs related to our Waynesburg terminal.
Interest Expense
We incurred $0.8 million and $1.1 million of net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. We continue to reduce debt levels and decrease interest expense through scheduled amortizing payments.
Income Tax Benefit
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, our effective tax rate was approximately 34.1% and 16.0%, respectively, based on the annual effective tax rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. The computation of the effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, carrybacks, and state apportionment changes, among other items.
As of June 30, 2022, we have recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions included on our balance sheet, related to our depletion deduction methodology. As of June 30, 2022, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to fully realize the benefits of certain existing deductible temporary differences and have recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets, which is included in liabilities, long-term, net on our balance sheet, and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Net Loss
Net loss was $(6.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net loss of $(31.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net loss is attributable to an increase in total volumes sold and higher average sale prices of our sand in addition to non-cash bad debt expense recorded against the residual balance of accounts receivable that were previously the subject of litigation in June 30, 2021.

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 cost 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of contribution margin to gross profit.

Contribution margin was $15.3 million and $3.5 million, or $12.75 and $4.55 per ton sold, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six months ended contribution margin was $19.5 million and $4.5 million, or $9.52 and $2.96 per ton sold, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in overall contribution margin and contribution margin per ton was due primarily higher sales volumes and higher average sale prices relative to the cost to produce and deliver products to our customers.

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;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital 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 debt covenant compliance, as Adjusted EBITDA is a key component of critical covenants to the ABL Credit Facility.
We believe that our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to measure the liquidity of our business.
Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flows. Free cash flows should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP. Because free cash flows may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of free cash flows may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flows to net cash provided by operating activities.

Free cash flow $ (3,656) $ 29,736  $ (22,633) $ 31,437 
Free cash flow was $(3.7) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Free cash flow was $(22.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily attributable to purchase of Blair for $6.5 million, increase in accounts receivable, repayment of tax refund IRS mistakenly provided in prior period of $2.3 million, and increase in unbilled receivables in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect that the investments made in the current period will be cash-generating assets in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and availability under our ABL Credit Facility and other equipment financing sources. As of June 30, 2022, cash on hand was $2.1 million and we had $16.0 million in undrawn availability on our ABL Credit Facility.
Based on our balance sheet, cash flows, current market conditions, and information available to us at this time, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity and other available capital resources, to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months.

Material Cash Requirements
Capital Requirements
We expect full year 2022 capital expenditures to be between $20.0 million and $25.0 million, which we anticipate will primarily support efficiency projects at Oakdale and Utica, capital related to the Waynesburg terminal. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with cash from operations, equipment financing options available to us or borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility or other financing sources, such as equipment finance providers. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we spent approximately $5.1 million on capital expenditures.

SMART SAND, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(UNAUDITED)
Indebtedness
We have several debt facilities, including the Oakdale Equipment Financing, various notes payable and our ABL Credit Facility. 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 $17.7 million and $8.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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, 2022, we had contractual obligations for the ABL Credit Facility, Oakdale Equipment Financing, notes payable, 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 predecessor of EQT Production Corporation), Halliburton Energy Services, and Enerplus accounted for 30.9%, 21.8%, and 13.0%, 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, 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: impairment considerations of assets, including intangible assets, fixed assets, and inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities; 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 dramatic swings in oil and natural gas prices and significant volatility in the oilfield service sector 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, 2022 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, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2022.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. 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, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, no shares were sold by the Company without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.

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, 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.
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.
