ProPetro is looking to put its accounting mess behind it, issuing final earnings reports for 2Q19, 3Q19 and FY19 after completing an audit that led to the recent exit of its CEO. Despite all the turmoil, the Midland-based fracker managed to post its first year with $2 billion revenue and remained in the black in 2019. ProPetro also said that it saw no reason to restate 2018 or 1Q19 results. The audit committee review, which lasted about a year, found that ProPetro’s management at the...
