Cactus Announces $150 Million Stock Repurchase Program

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 7, 2023--

Cactus, Inc. (NYSE: WHD) ("Cactus" or the "Company") today announced that the board of directors of the Company has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Shares"), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, through the use of trading plans or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The Company intends to utilize Rule 10b-18 and one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in connection with the repurchases.

Scott Bender, President and CEO of Cactus, commented, "I am very pleased to announce the approval of our inaugural repurchase authorization. This decision reflects our expectation of stronger cash generation from both the Cactus and FlexSteel businesses through industry cycles, which we believe is not considered in our current equity value. As noted in our updated investor presentation released today, we now expect Q2 2023 results in both segments to exceed prior guidance, despite our expectation that the U.S. onshore rig count will end the quarter at approximately 650 rigs. We intend to continue to invest in attractive organic growth opportunities, pay down debt, evaluate attractive M&A opportunities and maintain a sustainable dividend while executing repurchases under this authorization."

The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. Repurchases will be made on a discretionary basis at times and in amounts as determined by management. Repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, such as economic and market conditions, available cash, applicable legal requirements and other factors.
