| Use of estimates | Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation, amortization and accretion, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserve, income taxes, self-insurance liabilities, share-based compensation, contingent liabilities, lease-related reasonably certain option exercise assessments, the incremental borrowing rate for leases and the fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”). The Company bases its estimates on historical and other pertinent information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. |

| Allowance for credit losses | Allowance for credit losses: The Company’s allowance for credit losses relates to trade accounts receivable. The Company treats trade accounts receivable as one portfolio and records an initial allowance calculated as a percentage of revenue recognized based on a combination of historical information and future expectations. Additionally, the Company adjusts this allowance based on specific information in connection with aged receivables. Historically, most credit losses have been incurred when a customer’s financial condition significantly deteriorates, which in some cases leads to bankruptcy. Market volatility is highly uncertain and, as such, the impact on expected losses is subject to judgment and may cause variability in the Company’s allowance for credit losses in future periods. The change in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:

The Company reviews the adequacy of its ARO liabilities whenever indicators suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the liabilities have changed.

| Segment reporting | Segment reporting: The Company has three reportable segments. Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s reportable segments are Water Infrastructure, Water Services, and Chemical Technologies. See “Note 16—Segment Information” for additional information. The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s fixed infrastructure assets, including operations associated with water distribution pipeline infrastructure, water recycling facilities, produced water gathering pipelines, saltwater disposal wells (“SWDs”), and solids management facilities, primarily serving E&P companies. The Water Services segment primarily consists of the Company’s water-related services businesses, including water sourcing, water transfer, fluids hauling, water monitoring, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our Peak Rentals businesses.

| Equity Investments | Equity Investments: For investments in subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, but where the Company exercises control, the equity held by the minority owners and their portion of net income or loss are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity-method, and investments in entities for which the Company does not have significant control or influence are accounted for using the cost-method or other appropriate basis as applicable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had four equity-method investments. The Company’s investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When circumstances indicate that the fair value of its investment is less than its carrying value and the reduction in value is other than temporary, the reduction in value is recognized in earnings. On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into a new partnership arrangement through AV Farms, LP, a newly-formed Delaware limited partnership (“AV Farms”), pursuant to a limited partnership agreement (the “LPA”) by and among Select Water Reuse, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SWR”), C&A Rollover Company, LLC, (“C&A”) and Geneses Water, L.P., (“Geneses”), as limited partners, and AV Farms Management, LLC as the general partner (“AV GP”), effective as of February 28, 2025.
