    Basic Energy Services, Inc. (OTCQX: BASX) (“Basic” or the “Company”) today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

    RECENT OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

    • Largely completed the sale of pressure pumping assets, having received proceeds totaling $41.7 million as of March 6, 2020, with an estimated $10-$12 million in remaining proceeds;
    • Midstream water disposal volumes increased to a record 10.9 million barrels during the fourth quarter of 2019, 38% via pipeline; and
    • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $36.2 million at December 31, 2019, with no borrowings and 34.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL facility.

    Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights

    The Company reported revenues from continuing operations of $121.9 million, net loss of $87.8 million, and GAAP loss per share of $3.52, including loss from discontinued operations of $55.2 million ($2.22 per share). This result is compared to continuing revenues of $144.2 million and a net loss of $38.9 million, or a loss of $1.52 per share, including loss from discontinued operations of $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, and a net loss of $46.7 million, or $1.76 per share, including a loss of $4.9 million from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. Continuing EBITDA(1) and continuing adjusted EBITDA(1) were losses of $4.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Continuing operating results include a $1.4 million write down of inventory related to our manufacturing line of business.

    As previously announced, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company exited its pumping services operations and completed the divestment of the contract drilling line of business, which began in the third quarter of 2019. The financial results of these service lines have historically been included in the Completion & Remedial Services and Other Services segments, and are reflected in discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 and prior period results reported herein.

    Keith Schilling, President and CEO stated, “While the fourth quarter of 2019 proved challenging, with strong seasonality affecting activity significantly in the second half of both November and December, we are pleased with the impact of the Company's recent cost cutting in preserving margins. Despite revenues, on a continuing operations basis, declining 15% from the third quarter, direct margins were 20%, led by our Completion & Remedial segment at 27%. Since the divestiture of the pumping assets, this segment now consists largely of rental and fishing tools and coiled tubing.

    "Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Agua Libre Midstream, continues to set Company records, with disposal volumes for the quarter reaching a new Company high of 10.9 million barrels, despite lower completion activity and the significant flowback volumes we would typically see with that work.

    "We are continuing our work at right-sizing our Company's footprint and have made significant strides towards that goal, with G&A having declined to an annual run rate of $112 million in the fourth quarter, down from the $146 million we reported in 2018. We have continued to get leaner as an organization, a mandate for me as CEO when I stepped into this role, and we expect to be at an annual run rate of approximately $95 million by the end of the second quarter.

    "Looking ahead, maintaining capital flexibility for Basic is paramount in a challenging market. Our cash capital expenditure budget for 2020 currently stands at $28 million, and we will continue to evaluate our spending plan judiciously throughout the year, adjusting with our market outlook. In the meantime, we are beginning to see the benefits of growth capital we spent on Agua Libre Midstream in 2019, with a significant project having come online and adding to water disposal volumes. We will continue to seek transactions that will de-lever the Company, and we expect our capital lease-related debt to be reduced by another $12 million by the end of 2020 as we further pay down our capital lease balance, which stood at $36 million at year end."

    Full Year 2019 Highlights

    For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported continuing operations revenues of $567.3 million, a net loss on continuing operations of $91.4 million, and a GAAP net loss of $6.96 per basic and diluted share, including loss on discontinued operations of $3.46 per share, as compared to full year results for 2018, of continuing operations revenues of $653.6 million, a GAAP loss on continuing operations of $116.7 million, and loss of $5.46 per share, including $1.05 loss per share on discontinued operations.

    Full year 2019 results included the following:

    • Full year 2019 continuing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA(1) were $20.5 million and $39.6 million, respectively;
    • Midstream water disposal volumes increased 14% year over year to a record 41.3 million barrels during the year ended December 31, 2019, 34% via pipeline;
    • Continued operating results include $5.3 million of inventory write-downs related to our manufacturing business; and
    • Total losses for the year include $43.0 million of fixed asset impairments and inventory write-downs related to our discontinued pumping services and contract drilling operations.

    Fourth Quarter 2019 Business Segment Results

    (See Segment Data tables for quarterly and annual financial and operational data)

    Well Servicing

    Well Servicing revenues were $49.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of 15% sequentially from $57.4 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to decreased utilization, offset in part by slightly increased pricing. Well Servicing revenues were $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Results of our manufacturing entity, Taylor Industries, which have previously been included with Other Services are included in Well Servicing for the fourth quarter of 2019, and all prior periods reported herein. Excluding the results of Taylor Industries, Well Servicing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 stood at $46.6 million, down from $56.7 million in the third quarter of 2019 and $57.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Severe weather and holidays negatively impacted Well Servicing revenues by approximately $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $5.3 million, a decrease of 43% compared to $9.3 million in the prior quarter, and a decrease of 52% from $11.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2018. Segment profit margin was 11% of segment revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019, down from 16% in the prior quarter, primarily due to $1.4 million of inventory write-downs related to our rig manufacturing line of business combined with slowing demand for rig services in the fourth quarter resulting in higher personnel costs as a percentage of revenue. Excluding profit margins in our manufacturing line of business, segment profit margins would have been 14%. In the fourth quarter of 2018, segment profit margin was 18% of segment revenue.

    Water Logistics

    Water Logistics revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $44.7 million, compared to $48.5 million in the prior quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2018, this segment generated $55.6 million in revenue. Weather and holidays negatively impacted Water Logistics revenues by $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Total disposal volumes disposed at Agua Libre Midstream increased to 10.9 million barrels, with pipeline water volumes increasing by 9% to 4.1 million barrels to make up 38% of total barrels disposed during the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to a total of 10.8 million barrels, with 3.8 million pipeline barrels during the third quarter of 2019. The weighted average number of fluid services trucks decreased to 767 during the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 795 during the third quarter of 2019 and 837 during the fourth quarter of 2018.

    Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 25%, or $11.0 million, compared to a profit of 28% or $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. Segment profit margin decreased due to lower demand related to decreased production activity and lower flowback volumes during the quarter. Segment profit in the same period in 2018 was $16.4 million, or 29% of segment revenue.

    Completion & Remedial Services

    Completion & Remedial Services revenue from continuing operations was $28.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $38.3 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of 26%. Revenues decreased in all of our completion and remedial lines of business, as customers delayed work. In the fourth quarter of 2018, this segment generated $40.5 million in revenue. Weather and holidays negatively impacted revenues by $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    At December 31, 2019, Basic had approximately 25,300 coiled tubing hydraulic horsepower (“HHP”), flat with the previous quarter and down from 26,000 at December 31, 2018. We operated 13 RAFT stores at December 31, 2019, flat with September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

    Segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 27% of revenue or $7.6 million compared to 33% of revenue or $12.6 million in the prior quarter. Segment profit margins decreased due to personnel costs as a percentage of revenue being higher than normal as personnel were retained due to customers delaying work until 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2018, segment gross profit was $12.9 million, or 32% of segment revenue.

    Income Taxes

    Tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.1 million. The effective tax rate was 0.0% in the fourth quarter of 2019 flat compared to 0.0% in the prior quarter and the fourth quarter of 2018.

    Cash and Total Liquidity

    As of December 31, 2019 the Company had total liquidity of $71.9 million, comprised of cash of $36.2 million and $35.7 million of availability under the New ABL Facility, compared to total liquidity of $100.9 million and $159.9 million at September 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

    Capital Expenditures

    Total capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2019 were approximately $9.1 million, including a decrease in accounts payable related to capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 million. We currently anticipate 2020 capital expenditures of approximately $42.6 million, of which $14.2 million will be funded by capital leases.

    Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    This earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measure of earnings (net income) before interest, which includes losses on debt extinguishment, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA.” This earnings release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measure of earnings (net income) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, inventory write-downs, impairment expenses, the gain or loss on disposal of assets, non-cash stock compensation, professional fees incurred in association with contemplated deal costs, a withdrawn bond offering and tax consulting, executive compensation related to the retirement/severance of certain executives, strategic consulting and realignment costs, bad debt, or “Adjusted EBITDA.” EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures used by its management and directors and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, to assess:

    • The financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
    • The ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness; and
    • Its operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the oilfield services industry.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA each have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations to using EBITDA as an analytical tool include:

    • EBITDA does not reflect its current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;
    • EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on, its debt;
    • EBITDA does not reflect income taxes;
    • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
    • Other companies in the industry may calculate EBITDA differently than Basic does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

    In addition to each of the limitations with respect to EBITDA noted above, the limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include:

    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic’s gain or loss on disposal of assets;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic’s non-cash stock compensation;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic’s inventory write-downs;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic’s impairment expenses;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic’s professional fees related to one-time costs incurred for contemplated mergers and acquisitions that we did not pursue, tax recovery during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, or one-time costs for a withdrawn bond offering during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect one-time accrual for executive severance payments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, payments for executive retirements during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, or executive bonus expense for 2017 that was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and paid during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic's strategic consulting fees during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the write-off of certain bad debt related to a single customer incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Basic's accrual for expected Texas state sales tax audit settlement accrued during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018; and
    • Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than Basic does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
