YARDLEY, Pennsylvania, May 12, 2026 – Smart Sand, Inc. (NASDAQ: SND) (the “Company” or “Smart Sand”), a leading supplier of premium Northern White frac sand and industrial sand and a proppant logistics solutions provider, today announced results for the first quarter of 2026.

“Smart Sand delivered another strong quarter of operating and financial performance,” said Charles Young, Smart Sand’s Chief Executive Officer. “The first quarter was our fourth consecutive quarter with more than 1.4 million tons of sand sold, and we set a quarterly sales-volume record at just under 1.5 million tons. During the quarter, we generated positive free cash flow, and year to date through today we have returned approximately $5.7 million to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends. During the quarter, we saw increasing sales activity in the Appalachian Basins and consistent activity in the Bakken Formation and the Montney and Duvernay shales in Canada.”

“We remain focused on being the premier provider of Northern White sand in North America,” Young continued. “Our strategic investments in our Blair, Wisconsin facility and our two terminals in Ohio are key drivers of increasing sales activity in the Utica Shale and across Canadian basins. We have positioned Smart Sand to benefit from expected long-term growth in North American natural gas demand driven by expanding LNG export capacity and increasing gas-fired power generation to support AI data center electricity needs.”

“We continue to expand our Industrial Products Solutions business, primarily through our Ottawa, Illinois facility. Industrial sales volumes in the first quarter of 2026 were consistent with the fourth quarter of 2025, and we currently expect industrial sales volumes to increase year over year,” Young said.

“In the first quarter, we successfully put our new SmartSystem design to work in the field. We believe the reconfigured design enables us to more efficiently and cost effectively meet the growing market demand for higher daily sand volumes used in oil and gas well completions. We are seeing strong customer interest in the new SmartSystem configuration. However, consistent with our focus on capital discipline, we want to see customer commitments for new systems before making incremental investments in additional SmartSystem fleets.”

“Smart Sand is committed to growing our leading Northern White sand franchise while continuing to return capital to shareholders.” said Charles Young. “We will remain true to our core operating principles of maintaining strong liquidity, prudent debt levels and positive annual cash flow. Our liquidity position is strong, with healthy cash balances and full availability under our $30 million credit facility. We expect to generate positive free cash flow in 2026, with sales volume growth in the 5% to 10% range over 2025 tons sold.”

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

In the first quarter of 2026, tons sold totaled approximately 1,492,000, compared to 1,478,000 tons in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 1,069,000 tons in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a 1% sequential increase and a 40% year-over-year increase.

Revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $93.1 million, compared to $86.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $65.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in revenue sequentially and year over year was primarily driven by higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices.

Cost of goods sold increased to $87.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, up from $74.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $62.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase sequentially was primarily due to higher production and freight costs on similar volumes. The higher production costs, compared to the previous quarter, were primarily driven by increased drawdown and expensing of inventory to meet sales volumes levels for the first quarter 2026. The higher freight expense, compared to the fourth quarter 2025, was due primarily to the location mix of sand sales. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in sales volumes.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.1 million compared to $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Gross profit decreased sequentially due to higher production and freight costs and increased over the prior year period due to the increase in sales volumes.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $11.0 million, down from $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and up from $9.8 million for the first quarter of
