Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025 at a level of reasonable assurance.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

As disclosed in Note 3 -Acquisitions in the notes to the accompanying Financial Statements, we acquired Moser and its wholly-owned subsidiary on February 24, 2025. Moser’s total revenues constituted approximately 5.3% of total revenues as shown in our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The total assets of Moser acquired constituted approximately 12.7% of total assets as shown in our Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025. We excluded Moser disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by its internal control over financial reporting from the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the guidance issued by the Staff of the SEC that an assessment of a recently acquired business’s internal controls may be omitted from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for one year following the acquisition. As part of the Company’s ongoing integration activities, the Company’s financial reporting controls and procedures are in the process of being implemented with respect to the acquired Moser operations. The Company and the acquired Moser used separate accounting systems through December 31, 2025. The Financial Statements presented in this Report were prepared using information obtained from the separate accounting system.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, management previously identified deficiencies related to our information technology (“IT”) general controls (“ITGCs”) in the area of IT program change management and logical access controls that, when viewed in combination, aggregated to a material weakness. Specifically, management determined that we did not maintain effective controls over program change management and logical access for financially significant applications to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately. As a result, the application controls and IT-dependent manual controls that rely upon information from the impacted IT applications were also deemed ineffective as of December 31, 2024.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, management completed the implementation of enhanced controls and procedures to remediate the material weakness described above. The remediation actions included the implementation and evaluation of enhanced process controls around user access management and expanded documentation and review procedures to monitor, evaluate and support control effectiveness.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we completed our testing and evaluation of the newly designed and implemented controls and procedures and determined that as of December 31, 2025, the controls and procedures have been in place and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude the material weakness has been remediated.

Based on substantive procedures completed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, management concluded that the material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in our financial statements or disclosures in the current year or in our annual consolidated financial statements in the prior fiscal year in which this material weakness existed. Management further concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As discussed above in Item 9A, we completed the acquisition of Moser. We are currently finalizing the integration of the business and operations acquired from Moser into our internal control over financial reporting processes. In executing this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and, where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the business and operations. We have excluded Moser from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, as permitted by guidance provided by the staff of the SEC.

Except as described above and the actions taken to remediate the previously identified material weakness, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Atlas Energy Solutions Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Atlas Energy Solutions Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Moser, which is included in the 2025 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 12.7% of total assets, as of December 31, 2024 and 5.3% of revenues, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Moser.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' and members' equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
