When needed, we rent a plane under dry lease from a company owned by a member of Cactus Companies. These transactions are under short-term rental arrangements and the agreement governing these transactions does not qualify as a lease. Effective January 1, 2022, we pay a base hourly rent of $2,500 per flight hour of use of the aircraft, payable monthly, for the hours of aircraft operation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, expense recognized in connection with these rentals totaled $0.2 million as compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no liability outstanding to the related party. We are also responsible for employing pilots and fuel expenses. Our Chief Executive Officer and President reimburse the Company up to $2,350 per day for their personal use of the pilots employed by the Company, depending on how many company pilots are utilized for the day.

The TRA agreement is with certain direct and indirect holders of CC Units (CW Unit Holders prior to the CC Reorganization), including certain of our officers, directors and employees. These TRA Holders have the right in the future to receive 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Cactus Inc. actually realizes or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. The total liability from the TRA as of December 31, 2025 was $262.9 million. We pay professional fees to assist with maintenance of the TRA and composite tax payments in advance of the state tax return filings which are reimbursable from the TRA Holders.
