Produced

"The third quarter showcased the strength and growth potential in our Water Infrastructure segment, as demonstrated with a significant increase in profitability and another quarter of record performance. More specifically, the Water Infrastructure segment posted 20% sequential revenue improvement and 33% growth in gross profit before D&A, resulting in 56.7% gross margins before D&A in the quarter, an increase of more than five percentage points over the second quarter of 2024. We have materially surpassed our 50% margin goal for Water Infrastructure well ahead of our 2025 target, underscoring our continued ability to increase asset utilization, integrate acquired assets efficiently and our unique ability to sign, construct, and execute highly profitable Water Infrastructure projects out of our growing backlog alongside the basin's most ambitious and pioneering operators. Our conviction in the strength and torque of this asset base remains unwavering as represented by the decision to increase our quarterly base dividend by 17% for our upcoming November payment.
"The improvements in the Water Infrastructure segment were a culmination of the acquisitions we have executed year-to-date, further commercialization of our end-to-end water networks, and ongoing cost and operational efficiency initiatives. While we continue to grow our infrastructure footprint through both organic and inorganic capital projects, we also have driven increased utilization and volumes through our existing assets via our targeted sales, business development and network optimization efforts. Our ever-growing footprint enables us to network assets across our infrastructure portfolio, including pipelines, fixed-recycling facilities, and disposal wells, positioning us as an all-encompassing water solutions provider for our customers. Our existing footprint, coupled with the contracts we have executed and the robust pipeline of prospective projects, positions the Water Infrastructure segment for significant ongoing growth in 2025.
"In the third quarter we continued to build on our organic infrastructure successes with additional project wins supported by long-term contracts. Since the beginning of the third quarter, we contracted an additional 25,000 acres under long-term dedication in the
"Driven by margin outperformance and the pull-forward of activity in our Water Infrastructure segment, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on the headline goals we set out for 2024, including record setting annual Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and more than 50% of our profitability coming from Water Infrastructure and Chemical Technologies. On the capital side of the business, we expect to come in on the low end of the guidance range of
"We do anticipate, however, that the seasonal activity slowdown in the fourth quarter will impact the Water Services segment, offset by recovery in our Chemical Technologies segment with new product wins. Additionally, we will see the impact of certain asset specific activity reductions in each of our water transfer, sourcing and recycling businesses associated with certain of our ongoing capital projects in the
"Overall, I am pleased with our financial performance in the third quarter and year-to-date 2024, and I am excited to continue building onto our growing infrastructure platform with additional contract wins expected during the fourth quarter and in 2025. The strength of our overall expected 2024 results, including growing profitability and continued free cash flow generation, combined with our strong project backlog positions the company for steady continued growth looking into 2025 and we remain committed to increasing the profitability of our Water Infrastructure segment to represent more than half of the overall profitability of Select by the end of 2025. Ultimately, we remain committed to delivering industry-leading water and technology solutions with high-margin, long-term contracted infrastructure that is mission critical to our customers and creates significant value for our shareholders," concluded

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before depreciation, amortization and accretion ("D&A"), gross margin before D&A and free cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross profit and gross margin are the GAAP measures most directly comparable to gross profit before D&A and gross margin before D&A, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) 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 measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A 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.
For forward-looking non-GAAP measures, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation, including potential acquisition-related transaction and rebranding costs as well as the purchase price accounting allocation of the recent acquisitions and the resulting impacts to depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, among other items is not available to the Company without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP with a reasonable degree of accuracy at this time.
The following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:
