Equity [Abstract]

Equity

Equity

As of September 30, 2023, Cactus Inc. owned 82.2% of Cactus Companies as compared to 80.3% of Cactus LLC (prior to the CC Reorganization) as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, Cactus Inc. had outstanding 65.3 million shares of Class A common stock (representing 82.2% of the total voting power) and 14.1 million shares of Class B common stock (representing 17.8% of the total voting power).

Equity Offering

In January 2023, Cactus Inc. completed an underwritten offering of 3,224,300 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the underwriters of $51.36 per share for net proceeds of $165.6 million (net of $6.9 million of underwriting discounts and commissions). In addition to the underwriting discounts and commissions, approximately $2.2 million of costs directly associated with the stock issuance were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

FlexSteel Acquisition

In conjunction with the FlexSteel acquisition, a restricted stock award of 128,150 shares of Class A common stock was issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plan to a key employee in exchange for cash consideration of $6.5 million. The shares

are restricted from sale or trading and are subject to vesting requirements for one year from grant date. If the fair market value of the restricted shares is below the purchase price upon vesting, Cactus will compensate the key employee for the difference in price plus a gross-up for taxes. We are accounting for this guaranteed payment as stock compensation with liability classification and remeasure the liability to fair value at each reporting period. Compensation cost is being recognized ratably over the one-year vesting period. The liability balance is $0.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We recognized $0.2 million of compensation expense in SG&A in the consolidated statements of income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

CC Reorganization

As part of the CC Reorganization in connection with the acquisition of FlexSteel, Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing limited liability company interests of Cactus LLC ( “CW Units”) in exchange for an equal number of CC Units issued to each of the previous owners of CW Units other than Cactus Inc. (the “CW Unit Holders”). Upon the completion of the CC Reorganization, CW Unit Holders ceased to be holders of CW Units and, instead, became holders of a number of CC Units equal to the number of CW Units such CW Unit Holders held immediately prior to the completion of the CC Reorganization. After the CC Reorganization, we refer to the owners of CC Units, other than Cactus Inc. (along with their permitted transferees), as “CC Unit Holders.” Following the completion of the CC Reorganization, CC Unit Holders own one share of our Class B Common Stock for each CC Unit such CC Unit Holder owns.

In connection with the CC Reorganization, Cactus Inc. and the owners of CC Units entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus Companies (the “Cactus Companies LLC Agreement”), which contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus LLC (the “Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement”), which was the limited liability company operating agreement of Cactus LLC prior to the CC Reorganization. Cactus Inc. was responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Cactus LLC’s business for the period from completion of our IPO until the CC Reorganization and relating to Cactus Companies’ business for periods after the CC Reorganization. Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, each holder of CC Units has, subject to certain limitations, the right to cause Cactus Companies to acquire all or at least a minimum portion of its CC Units for, at Cactus Companies’ election, (x) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each CC Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions, or (y) an equivalent amount of cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of such redemption right, Cactus Inc. (instead of Cactus Companies) has the right to acquire each tendered CC Unit directly from the exchanging CC Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions, or (y) an equivalent amount of cash. In connection with any redemption of CC Units pursuant to such redemption right or our alternative right to acquire each tendered CC Unit, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock would be canceled.

Redemptions of CC Units

Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, holders of CC Units are entitled to redeem their CC Units, which results in additional Class A common stock outstanding. Since our IPO in February 2018, an aggregate of 46.5 million of CC Units (including CW Units prior to the CC Reorganization) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 0.9 million CC Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, were redeemed in exchange for Class A common stock in accordance with the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 1.5 million CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, were redeemed in exchange for Class A common stock in accordance with the Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement. There was no change in the combined number of Cactus Inc. voting shares outstanding as a result of the redemptions.

Dividends

Aggregate cash dividends of $0.34 per share of Class A common stock declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $22.3 million compared to $0.33 per share of Class A common stock and $20.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cash dividends paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled $22.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. Dividends accrue on unvested equity-based awards on the date of record and are paid upon vesting. Dividends are not paid to our Class B common stockholders; however, a corresponding distribution up to the same

amount per share as our Class A common stockholders is paid to the owners of CC Units other than Cactus Inc. for any dividends declared on our Class A common stock. See further discussion of the distributions below under “Member Distributions.”

Share Repurchase Program

On June 6, 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased and retired 4,007 shares of Class A common stock for $0.2 million or $39.69 average price per share excluding commissions, under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2023, $149.8 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.

Member Distributions

Distributions made by Cactus Companies are generally required to be made pro rata among all its members. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Cactus Companies distributed $63.1 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend, TRA and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $13.9 million over the same period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Cactus Companies distributed $31.7 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend, TRA and estimated payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $8.0 million.

Limitation of Members’ Liability

Under the terms of the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, the members of Cactus Companies are not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Cactus Companies. Profits and losses are allocated to members as defined in the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.
