Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Revenues
Under ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue recognition is based on the transfer of control, or the customer’s ability to benefit from the services and products in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services and products. In recognizing revenue for products and services, the transaction price is determined from sales orders or contracts with customers.
The Company generates product revenues from the sale of product that customers purchase for use in the oil and gas industry. Revenues are derived from product sold to customers under supply agreements, the terms of which can extend for over one year, and from spot sales through individual purchase orders executed at prevailing market rates. The Company’s product revenues are primarily a function of the price per ton realized and the volumes sold. Pricing structures under the supply agreements are, in certain cases, subject to certain contractual adjustments and consist of a combination of negotiated pricing and fixed pricing. These arrangements may undergo periodic negotiations regarding pricing and volume requirements, which may occur in volatile market conditions.
The Company generates service revenue by providing transportation, wellsite solutions, and contract labor services to companies in the oil and gas industry. Transportation services typically consist of transporting product from the plant facilities to the wellsite. The amounts invoiced reflect the transportation services rendered. The amounts invoiced reflect either the contractual monthly minimum, or the length of time the equipment was utilized in the billing period. Labor services provide the customers with supervisory, logistics, or field personnel. The amounts invoiced for wellsite solutions and contract labor services reflect the amount of time these services were utilized in the billing period. Transportation, wellsite solutions, and contract labor services are contracted through formal agreements or work orders executed under established pricing terms.
The Company generates rental revenue from the power equipment leases, which include maintenance, parts and service, in the period earned over the term of the contract, regardless of the timing of the billing to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue for product at a point in time following the transfer of control and satisfaction of the performance obligation of such items to the customer, under ASC 606, which typically occurs upon customer pick-up at the facilities. The Company recognizes revenue for services when services are rendered to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s standard collection terms are generally 30 days, with certain customer payment terms extending up to 60 days.
Certain of the Company’s contracts contain shortfall provisions that calculate agreed upon fees that are billed when the customer does not meet the minimum purchases over a period of time defined in each contract and when collectability is reasonably certain. As the Company does not have the ability to predict customers’ orders over the period, there are constraints around the ability to recognize the variability in consideration related to this condition. The Company recognized shortfall provision revenue of $23.9 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which was recorded in product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any shortfall revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s revenue was generated in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Revenue is disaggregated by product, service, and rental revenue, no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided.
The Company has elected to use the ASC 606 practical expedients, pursuant to which it has excluded disclosures of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations and when it expects to recognize such revenue. The remaining performance obligations are primarily comprised of unfulfilled contracts to deliver product, most of which hold a remaining duration of less than one year, and of which ultimate transaction prices will be allocated entirely to the unfulfilled contracts. The Company’s transaction prices under these contracts may be impacted by market conditions and potential contract negotiations, which have not yet been determined, and are therefore variable in nature.
The Company has elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer, such as sales tax, use tax, value-added tax and similar taxes.
Deferred Revenue
The Company occasionally receives prepayments from customers for future deliveries of product or contributions in aid of construction. Amounts received from customers in advance of product deliveries are recorded as contract liabilities referred to as deferred revenues and are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the product. Certain prepayments are secured by collateral interest in certain property, plant and equipment. The Company recognized revenue of $7.5 million and $8.5 million from deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
