Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation All dollar amounts, except per share/unit amounts, in the condensed consolidated financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in thousands of dollars unless otherwise indicated. Interim Financial Statements These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the adjustments and accruals, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Consolidation We have determined that the members with equity at risk in Solaris LLC lack the authority, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact Solaris LLC’s economic performance; therefore, Solaris LLC is considered a variable interest entity. As the managing member of Solaris LLC, we operate and control all of the business and affairs of Solaris LLC, as well as have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to us. Therefore, we are considered the primary beneficiary and consolidate Solaris LLC. Noncontrolling Interest As of June 30, 2024, we own approximately 53% of Solaris LLC. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include a noncontrolling interest representing the percentage of Solaris LLC units not held by us. Use of Estimates Management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. These estimates include, among others, determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and/or contingent consideration paid in acquisitions or nonmonetary exchanges or disposed of through sale, determining the fair value and related impairment of long-lived assets, determining the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), useful lives of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, goodwill impairment testing, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, accruals for environmental matters, the income tax provision, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and our Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) liability. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including current economic and industry conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates as additional information or actual results become available in the future, and those differences could be material. Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Significant Accounting Policies See Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the discussion of our significant accounting policies. There were no significant updates or revisions to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Fair Value Information The fair value of our 7.625% Senior Sustainability-Linked Notes (the “Notes”), which are fixed-rate debt, is estimated based on the published market prices for the same or similar issues. Management has designated this measurement as a Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair value of our Credit Facility (as defined below) approximates carrying value as the debt bears interest at a variable rate which is reflective of current rates otherwise available to us. Management has designated this measurement as Level 3. Fair value information regarding our debt is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(in thousands) | ​ | June 30, 2024 | ​ | December 31, 2023
​ | ​ | Carrying | ​ | Fair | ​ | Carrying | ​ | Fair
​ |  | Amount |  | Value |  | Amount |  | Value
Senior Sustainability-Linked Notes | ​ | $ | 400,000 | ​ | $ | 401,500 | ​ | $ | 400,000 | ​ | $ | 405,090
Credit Facility | ​ | $ | 48,000 | ​ | $ | 48,000 | ​ | $ | 26,000 | ​ | $ | 26,000
​ The carrying values of our other financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and our insurance premium financing liability, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of such instruments. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $152.9 million and $134.4 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Related Parties We and ConocoPhillips, one of our principal owners, are parties to a long-term water gathering and handling agreement, pursuant to which ConocoPhillips dedicates all the produced water generated from its current and future acreage in a defined area of mutual interest in New Mexico and Texas. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had receivables of $29.1 million and $23.0 million, respectively, from ConocoPhillips that were recorded in “Accounts Receivable from Affiliate” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had payables of $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to ConocoPhillips that were recorded in “Payables to Affiliate” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Revenues related to ConocoPhillips were $32.0 million and $64.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues related to ConocoPhillips were $31.3 million and $62.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 202 3. Collaborative Arrangements We have a beneficial reuse strategic agreement (the “Joint Industry Project” or “JIP”) with Chevron U.S.A. Inc., ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corporation (collectively with us, the “alliance members”) to develop and pilot technologies and processes to treat produced water for potential beneficial reuse opportunities. We previously referred to this agreement as the Beneficial Reuse Strategic Agreement. We account for reimbursements of research and development costs under the JIP as contra-expenses in the period such expenses are incurred. This reflects the joint risk sharing nature of these activities within the collaborative arrangement. We classify advance billings or receivables recorded as “Accrued and Other Current Liabilities” or “Other Receivables,” respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $2.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in total research and development expenses relating to the JIP, which was offset by $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in amounts due from the other alliance members for reimbursement of these shared costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in total research and development expenses relating to the JIP, which was offset by $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in amounts due from the other alliance members for reimbursement of these shared costs. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU primarily relate to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures and improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Other than the required disclosures, we do not expect a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively. Other than the required disclosures, we do not expect a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.
