DAWSON GEOPHYSICAL REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

MIDLAND, Texas, August 13, 2026/PR Newswire/Dawson Geophysical Company (NASDAQ: DWSN) (the “Company”) today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second quarter 2026 Highlights

● Recognized fee revenue of $14 million, a 60% increase over the second quarter of 2025

● Net loss of $3.4 million, $0.11 per share, which included $1.7 million of strategic transaction costs

● Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million, an improvement of $1.8 million over the second quarter of 2025

● Fourth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, for the first time since the three months ended September 30, 2018

Year-to-Date 2026 Highlights

● Increased fee revenue 94% to $46.5 million

● Net income of $4.2 million, $0.14 per share, which included $2.4 million of strategic transaction costs

● Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $11.5 million, an 875% increase over the six months ended June 30, 2025

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Management Comment

Tony Clark, Dawson’s President and CEO, commented, “Approximately a year ago, we made a significant capital investment to position this Company to have a competitive advantage in the market for providing seismic data acquisition services with high channel count parameters. Since then, we have improved our revenues, margins, profitability and cash-flows. This equipment is still new to us, and we are continuing to identify areas of improvement in the deployment of the new single node channels, which we expect will result in further operational efficiencies. Additionally, we are investing in compute power to improve the speed of getting our data from the field to our customers. At the end of the second quarter, we started a high-density channel count job, based upon the degree of success we believe will increase the demand for seismic data acquisition services. We believe that if we can provide better data to our customers and improve the speed with which they can benefit from that data, we will continue to increase our competitive advantage and improve our profitability.”

Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Results

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported revenues of $17.9 million, an increase of 82% compared to $9.9 million for the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2025. Revenue included reimbursable revenue of $3.9 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. Gross margin1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was 19% compared to 13% for the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2026.

We incurred a net loss of $3.4 million or $0.11 per common share and generated Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to negative Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated net income of $4.2 million or $0.14 per common share compared to a net loss of $1.4 million or $0.04 per common share for the same period of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated Adjusted EBITDA of $11.5 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in the same period of 2025.

Operations Update

The Company completed two large channel crew jobs during the quarter and had two smaller channel crews operating in the second quarter in the United States. At the end of the quarter, we started a high-density channel count job, deploying 70,000 single node channels over a concentrated area. The high-density channel count combined with our new single node channels is expected to provide significant improvement in the resolution of the seismic data provided by our services. If this test is successful, we expect the demand for other high-density seismic acquisition services to increase significantly.

Our seasonal operations in Canada halted in April but are expected to resume in the fourth quarter of 2026. We are already seeing increased bid activity for larger channel count jobs in the Canadian market for the fourth quarter of 2026 and into 2027.

We continue to schedule and bid larger channel count jobs due to our significant inventory of the new single node channels. Additionally, we have seen an increase in activity related to non-traditional seismic exploration including geothermal Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (“CCUS”) seismic monitoring, and other rare minerals.

Capital Budget and Liquidity

The Company's Board of Directors approved a capital budget of $3 million for 2026, including the final payment under the single node purchase of $0.9 million, which was made in January 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, our cash position was $5.8 million, our working capital deficit was $2.9 million, compared to a deficit of $5 million at December 31, 2025, and our credit facility had no balance outstanding with a borrowing base of $4.1 million. We believe that our cash on hand, operating cash flows and cash available under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund our cash flow requirements as well as our debt obligations.

About Dawson

Dawson Geophysical Company is a leading provider of North American onshore seismic data acquisition services with operations throughout the continental United States and Canada. Dawson acquires and processes 2-D, 3-D and multi-component seismic data solely for its clients, ranging from major oil and gas companies to independent oil and gas operators, critical mineral and other non-traditional operators as well as providers of multi-client data libraries.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s preliminary and unaudited results as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included in this press release information about the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as our net income, before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense or benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) non-recurring and other charges that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as strategic transaction costs. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess:

the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis;

its liquidity and operating performance over time in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a similar manner; and

the ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient for the Company to pay potential interest costs.

The Company also understands that such data are used by investors to assess the Company’s performance. However, the term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating income or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP. When assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, cash flow from operating activities or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company may modify how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA, and our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company. Further, the results presented by Adjusted EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA to its net loss is presented in the table following the text of this press release.

Discussions with Controlling Stockholder

As of June 30, 2026, Wilks Brothers, LLC (“Wilks”) and its affiliates control approximately 80% of our common stock. We have been in discussion with Wilks and certain of its affiliates with respect to one or more transactions involving assets owned by Wilks and/or certain of its affiliates, which may include, among other things, asset contributions or sales, a business combination transaction or other similar transactions. In connection with these discussions, the Company incurred approximately $1.7 million and $2.4 million in expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

There is no guarantee that we will enter into a definitive agreement with any such parties regarding any such transaction. The terms of any potential agreement between us and Wilks, and/or any of its affiliates, would be contingent on certain conditions, including completion of due diligence and the negotiation of definitive transaction documents. Our Board of Directors has formed a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), which has retained independent legal and financial advisors, to evaluate, negotiate and make recommendations to the Board regarding any such transaction with Wilks and/or its affiliates, including whether to pursue or decline to pursue any proposed transaction.
