IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information in this presentation includes “forward‐looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation regarding Liberty Oilfield Services Inc.’s (“Liberty” or the “Company”) strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward‐looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words “could”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward‐looking statements, although not all forward‐looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward‐looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Liberty disclaims any duty to update any forward‐looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation. Liberty cautions you that these forward‐looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties incident to hydraulic fracturing services, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond its control. These risks include, but are not limited to, a decline in demand for the Company’s services, capital spending by the oil and natural gas industry, hydrocarbon price volatility, competition within our service industry, reliance on a limited number of suppliers, environmental risks, regulatory changes, the inability to comply with the financial and other covenants and metrics in the Company’s credit facilities, cash flow and access to capital and the timing of capital expenditures and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are disclosed from time to time in Liberty’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this presentation occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Liberty’s actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward‐looking statements. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA This presentation has been prepared by Liberty and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Liberty to be reliable, including independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on Liberty’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although Liberty believes these sources are reliable, it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. EBITDA, ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ROCE Liberty uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pre‐Tax Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”), financial and operational measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in this presentation. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE are used as supplemental non‐GAAP financial and operational measures by Liberty’s management and by external users of Liberty’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Liberty believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE are useful to external users of its consolidated and combined financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies because it allows them to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. Liberty management believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting its business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Liberty defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Liberty defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as new fleet or new basin start‐up costs, costs of asset acquisitions, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, asset impairment charges, bad debt reserves and non‐recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Liberty excludes the foregoing items from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Liberty defines ROCE as the ratio of pre‐tax net income for the prior twelve month period to the simple average of total capital employed as of the beginning and end of such period. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or ROCE in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of Liberty’s results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE may be defined differently by other companies in Liberty’s industry, Liberty’s computations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Please see slides 22 and 23 for a reconciliation and calculation of the non‐GAAP measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. 2 2

Market and Financial Update • Strong fundamental demand for differentiated frac services through 2018 • Pricing was positive through mid year. • Takeaway issues slowed completions growth in the second half of 2018, which created an oversupply of frac services due to HHP built in anticipation of the growing US completions count and therefore pricing softened • Producers managing to pre‐announced capital budgets curtailed some activity in Q4 which is expected to be completed in Q1 19 • Demand for differentiated frac services looks to be strong in 2019 Previous Update Revised Update Revenue Expect Q4 revenue would be down Expect Q4 revenue will be down sequentially from Q3 sequentially from Q3 in line with usual more than usual seasonal reduction. Reduction is mid‐single digit reduction due to holidays currently expected to be 10% or so, due to additional and customer budget management customer budget management in December. Adjusted Q4 Adjusted EBITDA per fleet annualized Q4 Adjusted EBITDA per fleet annualized run rate is EBITDA run rate is expected to be down by expected to be down by $5M‐$6M per fleet, due to the approximately $3M per fleet due to additional sequential revenue reduction sequential revenue reduction 19
