- Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% to $45M (15% of revenue), with free cash flow from completions business at $51M.

The big picture
ProPetro's Q2 results reflect the dual-track strategy of stabilizing its core completions business while scaling PROPWR's power generation platform. The Permian market shows early signs of recovery with tightening supply-demand dynamics, while PROPWR's operational milestones position it as a first-mover in behind-the-meter data center power solutions. The company's ability to balance these growth vectors will determine its long-term valuation.
