ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Aly Energy Services, Inc. ("Aly Energy" or the "Company"), founded in July 2012, provides oilfield services, including surface equipment rental, solids control services, and directional drilling services, to exploration and production companies.

 

On October 26, 2012, Aly Operating, Inc. ("Aly Operating") acquired all of the stock of Austin Chalk Petroleum Services Corp. ("Austin Chalk"). Austin Chalk provides surface rental equipment as well as roustabout services which include the rig-up and rig-down of equipment and the hauling of equipment to and from the customer's location.

 

On April 15, 2014, Aly Energy acquired the equity interests of United Centrifuge, LLC ("United") as well as certain assets used in United's business that were owned by related parties of United (collectively the "United Acquisition"). In connection with the United Acquisition, United merged with and into Aly Centrifuge Inc. ("Aly Centrifuge"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aly Energy. United operates within the solids control and fluids management sectors of the oilfield services and rental equipment industry, offering its customers the option of renting centrifuges and auxiliary solids control equipment without personnel or the option of paying for a full-service solids control package which includes operators on-site 24 hours a day.

 

On July 1, 2014, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Evolution Guidance Systems Inc. ("Evolution"), an operator of Measurement-While-Drilling ("MWD") downhole tools.

 

The Company, which has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aly Operating, Aly Centrifuge and Evolution, operates as one business segment which services customers within the United States.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2015. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aly Energy and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Reverse Stock Split:On June 19, 2015, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock ("Reverse Split"), as approved by its Board of Directors and stockholders. All information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to the number of shares, price per share and per share amounts has been retroactively restated to give effect to the Reverse Split.

ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company generates revenues primarily from renting equipment at per-day rates. In connection with certain of its solids control, skimming operations and directional drilling and MWD operations, the Company also provides personnel to operate its equipment at the customer's location at per-day or per-hour rates. In addition, the Company may provide equipment transportation and rig-up/rig-down services to the customer at flat rates per job or at an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned and when collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and a liability for contingent payments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company measures its liability for contingent payments at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

Level 1—Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3—Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The Company's liability for contingent payments represents the fair value of estimated additional cash payments related to the United Acquisition. The payments are subject to the achievement of certain financial performance goals. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the liability for contingent payments is the present value of the estimated remaining payments. The present value calculation for the remaining payments due on May 31, 2016 and 2017 is considered a Level 3 measurement and is based upon the Company's internal model and projections.

 

The following table provides a roll forward of the fair value of the liability for contingent payments which includes Level 3 measurements (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operating income.

 

The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from one to 20 years. A residual value is used for asset types deemed to have a salvage value. Major classifications of property and equipment and their respective useful lives are as follows (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the fair value with the carrying value of the related assets. The Company recorded no impairment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Goodwill:The carrying amount of goodwill is tested annually for impairment in the fourth quarter and whenever events or circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there have been no events or circumstances indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications:Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentations. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the guidance with respect to the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Companies have an option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption approach. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in the ASU change the balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs by requiring them to be presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Transitioning to the new guidance requires retrospective application. The Company plans to make the required change to the presentation of its debt issuance costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, but it does not believe such change will have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in the ASU require entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value to more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-11 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, a revision to Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which was originally issued on May 28, 2014. For public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans, the effective date was for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The effective date for all other entities was for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-14 on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which adds comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) addressing ASU 2015-03, as discussed above, and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC commented it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2015-15 in connection with its adoption of ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2015-15 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-16 on its financial statements.

Credit Facility: Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan, and Revolving Credit Facility

 

On April 15, 2014, in connection with the United Acquisition, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a maturity date of April 30, 2017. The new agreement increased the size of our credit facility to $30.0 million, consisting of a $25.0 million term loan and a revolving credit facility with a maximum availability of $5.0 million.

 

On November 26, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, provide for a $5.0 million delayed draw term loan to be added to the credit facility. The delayed draw term loan was used in full to finance capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

On October 13, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the existing credit facility ("Amendment") which had an effective date of September 30, 2015. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company used proceeds of $3.4 million from its recently closed private offering to make the regularly scheduled principal payments of $1.5 million on September 30, 2015 and to make a prepayment of $1.9 million on the term loan on October 13, 2015.

 

The Amendment modified multiple components of the credit facility including, but not limited to, the terms listed below. The Amendment:

 

(i)

waived the Company's covenant default as of June 30, 2015;

(ii)

defers all further principal payments on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility until March 31, 2017;

(iii)

revised certain financial covenants to facilitate the Company's compliance with such covenants during the current downturn in the oilfield services industry; and,

(iv)

reduced the size of the revolving credit facility to $1.0 million.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a borrowing capacity of up to $1.0 million under the revolving credit facility in addition to a cash balance in excess of $0.8 million after giving effect to the prepayment of the term loan on October 13, 2015. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2015.

Subordinated Note Payable

 

On August 15, 2014, we completed a bulk equipment purchase (the "Saskatchewan Equipment Purchase"), consisting of centrifuges, shakers, service vehicles and other associated equipment, for total consideration of $10.3 million of which $2.0 million was in the form of a Subordinated Note Payable.

 

On March 18, 2015, the Subordinated Note Payable was amended to extend the final maturity date to June 30, 2017 and to increase the interest rate to 10% per annum. Subsequent to an aggregate principal and interest payment of approximately $0.6 million on March 31, 2015, additional payments of interest and principal are not required until June 30, 2017. Interest and principal payments may be paid in amounts determined by the Company's board of directors on any date or dates prior to June 30, 2017, subject to approval of both the Company's board of directors and the Company's lenders. The Subordinated Note Payable is generally subordinated in right of payment to the Company's indebtedness to its lenders.

 

Equipment Financing and Capital Leases

 

The Company finances the purchase of certain vehicles and equipment using long-term equipment loans and using non-cancelable capital leases. Repayment occurs over the term of the loan or lease, typically three to five years, in equal monthly installments which include principal and interest. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $2.6 million and $2.0 million outstanding under equipment loans and capital leases, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to certain claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that any claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 

On February 3, 2015, multiple plaintiffs filed a proposed collective action against the Company under the Fair Labor Standards Act, in the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division. On February 20, 2015, a proposed collective action alleging overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Pennsylvania law, in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, was amended to include the Company as a defendant. Both actions were consolidated within the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Although the Company has defenses available in this litigation, the Company is settling this matter for business purposes, with no admission of liability. The anticipated amount of the settlement has been accrued for in the three months ended September 30, 2015. The settlement amount is expected to be fully paid in 2015.

 

Contractual Commitments

 

The Company has numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business including debt service requirements and operating leases. The Company leases land, facilities and equipment from non-affiliates. Certain of these leases extend to 2020.

 

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.9 million and expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and benefit of $2.3 million and expense of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Effective income tax rates were 36.6% and 39.6% percent for the nine months ended 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate is affected by recurring items such as tax rates and income in jurisdictions, which we expect to be fairly consistent in the near term.

 

The Company currently projects taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2015, for federal income tax purposes and in certain state income tax jurisdictions. The Company has net operating losses that can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2033 if not utilized.

 

NOTE 7 – REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

Two of the Company's subsidiaries have redeemable preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2015. Aly Operating issued redeemable preferred stock in connection with the acquisition of Austin Chalk ("Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock") and Aly Centrifuge issued the Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock in connection with the United Acquisition.

 

Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock

 

As part of the acquisition of Austin Chalk, Aly Operating agreed to issue up to 4 million shares of Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01, to the seller, with a fair value and liquidation value of $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The preferred stock was valued as of the date of acquisition by discounting the sum of (i) the liquidation value at issuance and (ii) the future cumulative accrued dividends as of the date of optional redemption for a lack of marketability. The first tranche of 2 million shares was issued on December 31, 2012 and the second tranche of 2 million shares was issued on March 31, 2013.

 

The Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock is entitled to a cumulative paid-in-kind dividend of 5% per year on its liquidation preference, compounded quarterly. Aly Operating is not required to pay cash dividends.

 

The holder of the Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock and Aly Operating can, at either's option, require the other party to redeem the preferred stock for cash on the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the sale or October 26, 2016. However, there is no requirement for either party to redeem the preferred stock.

 

The rights of the preferred stock also include the right to exchange into shares of Company common stock or to redeem the preferred stock for cash should the Company transact a liquidity event, as defined in the agreement, or if the Company transacts an initial public offering, as defined in the agreement. The conversion ratio, determined by a calculation defined in the agreement of which the components include trailing twelve month financial performance and magnitude of investment in new equipment, is undeterminable until the Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock becomes exchangeable into common shares.

 

The Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet because the settlement provisions provide the holder the option to require Aly Operating to redeem the Aly Operating Redeemable Preferred Stock at the liquidation price plus any accrued dividends.

On April 15, 2014, as part of the United Acquisition, Aly Centrifuge issued 5,000 shares of Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01, to the sellers in the transaction, with a fair value and liquidation value of $5.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The preferred stock was valued as of the date of acquisition by discounting the sum of (i) the value of the preferred stock without a conversion option using the option pricing method and (ii) the value of the conversion option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for a lack of marketability. As of September 30, 2015, 497 shares of Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock remain subject to an 18-month holdback for general indemnification purposes pursuant to the purchase agreement. Aly Centrifuge has advised the holders of the preferred stock that it has reserved its right to assert an indemnification claim as to 102 of such shares.

 

On August 15, 2014, in connection with the Saskatchewan Equipment Purchase, Aly Centrifuge issued an additional 4,000 shares of Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01, to the sellers in the transaction, with a fair value and liquidation value of $4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The preferred stock was valued as of the date of the equipment purchase by discounting the sum of (i) the value of the preferred stock without a conversion option using the option pricing method and (ii) the value of the conversion option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for a lack of marketability.

 

The Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock is entitled to a cumulative paid-in-kind dividend of 5% per year on its liquidation preference, compounded quarterly. Aly Centrifuge is not required to pay cash dividends.

 

The holder of the Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock and Aly Centrifuge can, at either's option, require the other party to redeem the preferred stock for cash on or after December 31, 2016. However, there is no requirement for either party to redeem the preferred stock.

 

Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock also includes the right to exchange into shares of Company common stock on any date, from time to time, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the liquidation preference plus (B) an amount per share equal to accrued but unpaid dividends not previously added to the liquidation preference on such share of preferred stock, divided by (ii) 1,000, and (iii) multiplied by the exchange rate in effect at such time. The exchange rate currently in effect is 71.4285 or $14.00 per share of Company common stock.

 

The Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet because the settlement provisions provide the holder the option to require Aly Centrifuge to redeem the Aly Centrifuge Redeemable Preferred Stock at the liquidation price plus any accrued dividends.

NOTE 8 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock ("Common Shares") outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock or other convertible instruments, as appropriate.

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The Company issued 15,625 shares of company stock during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as part of compensation to a former employee of the Company in accordance with his employment agreement. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $100,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 in connection with this issuance.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

 

The Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors on May 2, 2013. On May 2, 2013, the Company granted 338,474 Common Shares under the Plan which was the maximum number authorized at that date.

 

At September 30, 2015, there is approximately $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested stock option awards. Such amount will be recognized in the future upon occurrence of a Liquidity Event that results in a vesting of the options.

 

On June 5, 2015, a majority of stockholders approved an amendment to our Plan which increased the maximum authorized shares to 750,000 Common Shares.

 

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

On June 19, 2015, the Company effected the Reverse Split, a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock, as approved by its Board of Directors and stockholders. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each 20 shares of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into one share of common stock without any further action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

In January 2015, we issued an aggregate of 50,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement at a price of $11.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $0.6 million.

 

We agreed to issue 79,215 and 3,434 shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, to one of our directors in respect of his arrangement of certain issuances of common stock in 2014 and 2015. These shares were issued during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

On June 24, 2015, the Company initiated a private offering to accredited investors. On September 30, 2015, the Company closed the offering and issued 1,047,424 shares of its common stock to multiple accredited investors at a price of $3.20 per share.

·

unanticipated costs, delays, regulatory compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our long-term growth strategy, including those related to expansion into new geographic regions and new business lines;

 

 
20
 

 

 

·

the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities in the future resulting from our failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment;

 

 

 

 

·

the loss of, or inability to attract new, key management personnel;

 

 

 

 

·

the loss of, or failure to pay amounts when due by, one or more significant customers;

 

 

 

 

·

a shortage of qualified workers;

 

 

 

 

·

operating hazards inherent in our industry;

 

 

 

 

·

accidental damage to or malfunction of equipment;

 

 

 

 

·

an increase in interest rates;

 

 

 

 

·

the potential inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements as a result of reduced revenues and financial performance or our inability to raise sufficient funds through asset sales or equity issuances should we need to raise funds through such methods; and

 

 

 

 

·

the potential failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

 

For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please read (1) "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and (2) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Should one or more of these known material risks occur, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement because of various factors, including those described in the section titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview of Our Business

 

We are a provider of surface rental equipment, solids control systems, and directional drilling services, including MWD services. Our equipment and services are primarily designed for and used in land-based horizontal drilling. Our equipment includes mud circulating tanks (400 and 500 barrel capacity), mud pumps (diesel and electric), live oil skimming systems with mud gas separators, flare lines with flare stacks, containment systems with stairs, portable mud mixing plants, centrifuges, shakers/vertical dryers, and MWD kits. We also provide personnel at the customer's well site to operate certain pieces of our equipment, such as skimming systems, centrifuges, downhole drilling motors and MWD kits, when requested by the customer and, in certain cases, we provide personnel to rig-up/rig-down and haul our equipment to and from the customer's location. We service the Permian Basin (in Texas and New Mexico), Eagle Ford Shale, Utica Shale, Marcellus Shale, Woodford Shale, Granite Wash, Mississippian Lime, and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. Our primary operating yards, shop and repair facilities, and management offices are located at various locations in Texas, including Giddings, San Angelo, Prosper, and Houston.

 

We derive the majority of our operating revenues from day rates or hourly rates charged for the rental of our equipment and for the services provided by our personnel. The price we charge for our services depends on both the level of activity within the geographic area in which we operate and also the competitive environment.

 

Our operating costs do not fluctuate in direct proportion to changes in revenues. Our operating expenses consist of both fixed and variable costs. Although most variable costs are highly correlated with revenues and activity, certain variable costs, such as sub-rental equipment expenses and third party trucking expenses, can be reduced as a percentage of revenues by our investment in new rental and transportation equipment.

Industry Trends and Outlook

 

We operate in the commodity-driven, cyclical oil and gas industry. From 2011 and through mid-2014, the industry operated in an environment where crude oil prices were relatively stable and, except for comparatively short intervals, generally traded at prices at or in excess of $100 per barrel. However, subsequent to the third quarter of 2014, crude oil prices have declined significantly due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, continued growth in U.S. oil production, weakened outlooks for the global economy and continued strong international crude oil supply resulting in part from OPEC's unexpected decision to maintain oil production levels. As a result of the weaker crude oil price environment, many crude oil development prospects have become less economical for exploration and production operators, leading to a dramatic reduction in North American rig counts and weaker demand for oilfield services, such as the services we provide.

 

In April 2015, we committed to a reorganization initiative to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts, consolidate support functions, and operate more efficiently in order to partially mitigate the significant declines in pricing and utilization of our equipment. The reorganization effort includes, but is not limited to, training our salesforce to enable the cross-selling of our product lines in certain geographical markets, sharing a common support services infrastructure across all reporting units, reducing headcount and wage rates, and rebranding and launching a new web site to increase awareness of our service lines.

 

In May 2015, we moved forward aggressively with the first step of the reorganization plan, including significant reductions in headcount, field wage rates, and salaries of the management team and support personnel. We have experienced the impact of these cost cutting measures during the third quarter of 2015 when we decreased operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to 63.2% compared to 69.6% for the first half of 2015 and decreased the monthly run rate for selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash and non-recurring transactions, by over 20% when comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the first half of 2015.

 

As we enter the fourth quarter of 2015, oil prices remain low and we expect further reductions in the rig count. Although it is customary to experience declines in activity in the fourth quarter due to the holidays and the exhaustion of our customers' annual spending budgets, we believe the declines this year may be even more pronounced as operators extend holiday breaks and aggressively cut end-of-year spending. We started to see a decline in our monthly revenue run rate towards the end of the third quarter, due primarily to rig attrition and continued pressure to implement further price reductions, and we anticipate our monthly revenue run rate may decline by as much as 15% by the end of 2015 when compared to the monthly revenue run rate early in the third quarter. Although we believe we will begin to see increases in activity next year, we do not anticipate any significant increases to occur until the second half of 2016.

 

In October 2015, in response to the recent revenue declines, we instituted another round of cost cutting measures, including further headcount and wage rate reductions. We believe that the impact of these initiatives, which are expected to be fully recognized in the first quarter of 2016, will allow us to maintain operating margins similar to the third quarter of 2015 despite a reduced revenue base.

 

 
23
 

 

Although we have been successful at improving the efficacy of our sales organization, operating more efficiently, and implementing multiple rounds of cost cuts, we believe we will continue to face significant challenges over the next twelve to eighteen months due to depressed and uncertain market conditions. These challenges may have a significant negative impact on our operations, financial results and ability to access capital in 2015 and beyond.

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $6.9 million, a decrease of $6.6 million from revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $13.5 million. The decrease is due primarily to the sharp decline in oil prices and activity within the oilfield services industry subsequent to September 30, 2014. During 2015, we have experienced significant reductions in both pricing and utilization. Day rates and the number of revenue generating days, which is a reflection of the utilization of our equipment, for our core products each declined approximately 20-30% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 resulting in a decline in revenue of 48.6% period over period. Significant declines in demand for our surface rental equipment and directional drilling and MWD services were partially offset by slight increases in demand for our solids control equipment.

 

 
24
 

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to $4.4 million compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. During 2015, we decreased the direct and indirect labor headcount, particularly non-revenue generating employees, and we reduced direct and indirect wage rates by approximately 5-10%. In addition, third party expenses, such as sub-rental equipment and transportation services, decreased significantly as our owned inventory of equipment was sufficient to meet the demand for our services. Despite significant cost reductions, operating expenses increased as a percentage of revenue by 6.8% to 63.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 56.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due primarily to the impact of significant pricing decreases, which result in every dollar of cost increasing as a percentage of revenue, and the need, in order to retain existing customers and attract new customers, to decrease customer pricing more quickly than we were capable of implementing cost reductions. We continue to implement cost reduction initiatives, including demanding cost concessions from our vendors, in order to further reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $1.7 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the additions from a bulk equipment purchase of solids control equipment in August 2014.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses include an aggregate of non-recurring and non-cash expenses of $0.6 million and income of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding the impact of non-recurring and non-cash transactions, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The $0.9 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects the success of our cost cutting initiatives in 2015, such as headcount and wage rate reductions, in response to the downturn in the industry.

 

Interest expense increased to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of a subordinated note payable in August 2014 in connection with a bulk equipment purchase. Interest expense includes non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs of approximately $77,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 million compared to income tax expense of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The income tax benefit recorded was primarily the result of our pre-tax net loss of $2.0 million incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to pre-tax net income of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $23.1 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $27.9 million. The inclusion of the financial results related to the United acquisition and the Evolution acquisition for 273 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 168 days and 92 days, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 partially offset a significant decline in revenues resulting from the downturn in the oilfield services industry which began in late 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we experienced significant declines in pricing of approximately 20-30% across the majority of our core products. In addition, the number of revenue generating days, which reflects utilization of our equipment, decreased significantly due to reduced demand, particularly for our surface rental equipment and directional drilling and MWD services.

 

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $15.6 million compared to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the impact of aggressive cost cutting measures were offset by the inclusion of the financial results related to the United acquisition and the Evolution acquisition for 273 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 168 days and 92 days, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 67.7% and 52.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was due primarily to the impact of significant pricing decreases, which result in every dollar of cost increasing as a percentage of revenue and the need, in order to retain existing customers and attract new customers, to decrease customer pricing more quickly than we were capable of implementing cost reductions. We continue to implement cost reduction initiatives, including demanding cost concessions from our vendors, in order to further reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $5.1 million compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the financial results related to the United acquisition and the Evolution acquisition for 273 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 168 days and 92 days, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and a bulk equipment purchase in August 2014.

 

 
26
 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we reduced wage rates for nearly all employees by 5-10% and reduced the headcount of selling, general and administrative employees. In addition, we significantly reduced other selling, general, and administrative expenses, such as entertainment, marketing and travel. The impact of these cost reductions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is completely offset by the inclusion of the financial results related to the United acquisition and the Evolution acquisition for 273 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 168 days and 92 days, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses include an aggregate of non-recurring and non-cash expenses of $0.9 million and approximately $65,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Interest expense increased to approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to additional debt financing incurred subsequent to September 30, 2014, including a $5.0 million delayed draw term loan, a $2.0 million subordinated note payable and various equipment financing. Interest expense includes non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs of $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.3 million compared to income tax expense of approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The income tax benefit recorded was primarily the result of our pre-tax net loss of $6.4 million incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to pre-tax net income of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We disclose and discuss EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We define EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

We also make certain adjustments to EBITDA for (i) non-cash charges, such as bad debt expense, share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of our liability for contingent payments, and gains and losses on the disposal of assets, and (ii) non-recurring expenses, such as severance and professional fees and other expenses related to transactions outside the ordinary course of business, to derive a normalized EBITDA run-rate ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which we believe is a useful measure of operating results and the underlying cash generating capability of our business.

 

Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, these metrics 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.

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and other users of our financial statements as supplemental financial measures that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of our ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund growth and maintenance capital expenditures. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

 

 
27
 

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also financial metrics used by management as (i) supplemental internal measures for planning and forecasting and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) significant criteria for incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and management; (iii) reference points to compare to the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) assessments of our ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness.

 

The following table provides the detailed components of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as we define that term for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures compared to cash flows provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities:

 

·

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect growth and maintenance capital expenditures,

·

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest, principal payments and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt that we have incurred to finance acquisitions and invest in our fixed asset base,

·

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the payment of deferred income taxes, and

·

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in our net working capital position.

 

Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures by only using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement our GAAP results.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our credit facility, equipment financings and the issuance of equity securities. We anticipate that continued volatility in oil and gas prices during 2015 and 2016 will impact our overall financial results and our ability to generate cash from operations. Should our projected cash flow combined with our credit facilities not be sufficient, we may reduce capital expenditures and future investments and/or consider the issuance of debt and/or additional equity securities; however, continued low oil and natural gas prices, or further declines in such prices, could also adversely affect the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or access the capital markets.

 

 
28
 

 

The Company's uses of capital are expenditures that arise primarily from our need to service our debt, to fund our working capital requirements, and to maintain and expand our rental fleet and service offerings. On October 13, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility which, among other things, defers all principal payments on the outstanding borrowings until March 31, 2017 decreasing our previous aggregate debt service requirements for the next eighteen months by $7.5 million. As such, we believe that we will have the ability to provide for our operating needs, including our working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures in 2015 and 2016, through projected operating cash flow and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we generated $4.1 million of cash from operating activities. Our net loss for the period was $4.0 million. Non-cash additions to net income totaled $3.1 million consisting primarily of an aggregate of $5.4 million in depreciation, amortization of intangibles and amortization of deferred loan costs, an aggregate of $0.6 million related to stock-based compensation, bad debt expense, and a loss on disposal of assets, and a $2.3 million increase in deferred tax assets partially offset by an $0.6 million fair value adjustment to a contingent payment liability.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, changes in working capital generated $5.1 million in cash. Cash was provided by a significant decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $7.7 million and an aggregate decrease of $0.6 million in other current assets offset by a decrease in payables and accrued expenses of $3.2 million. The changes in working capital were primarily driven by the significant decreases in activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we generated $1.1 million of cash from operating activities. Our net income for the period was $2.1 million. Non-cash additions to net income totaled $3.5 million consisting of an aggregate of $3.6 million in depreciation, amortization of intangibles and amortization of deferred loan costs and an aggregate $0.1 million related to bad debt expense and a loss on disposal of assets, partially offset by an aggregate of $0.2 million fair value adjustment to a contingent payment liability and change in deferred taxes.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, changes in working capital used $4.5 million in cash. Cash was provided by a net increase in payables and accrued expenses of $3.0 million offset by an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of approximately $6.4 million, due to an increase in length of time between the issuance of invoices and collecting payment and, to a lesser extent, due to an increase in revenues. Changes in other current assets resulted in an additional use of cash of $1.1 million.

 

 
29
 

 

Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used $1.1 million in cash which consisted of investment in machinery and equipment of $1.4 million offset by proceeds of $0.2 million from the disposal of underutilized assets.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used $25.1 million in investing activities of which $15.1 million was the cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, associated with the United Acquisition. We used $10.2 million of cash to invest in machinery and equipment during the period, including $4.0 million for the cash portion of consideration for the Saskatchewan Equipment Purchase and approximately $1.8 million for the fabrication of 5 new MWD kits. Cash acquired in the acquisition of Evolution of $0.2 million slightly offset our investments during the period.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used $2.2 million in cash for financing activities. Cash was used primarily to repay debt in an aggregate amount of $5.2 million and to make the first payment of contingent consideration related to the United Acquisition of $0.9 million. Payment of deferred financing costs used approximately $35,000 of cash during the period. Our cash outlays were partially offset with an aggregate of $3.9 million in proceeds, net of transaction costs, from equity issuance during the period.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, financing activities generated $22.6 million of cash. Net borrowings of $14.0 million during the period resulted from the expansion of our credit facility to finance the United Acquisition. We also issued common equity during the period raising $9.1 million in net proceeds through a private placement of our Common Stock. Payment of deferred financing costs used $0.5 million of cash during the period.

 

On October 13, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to our existing credit facility ("Amendment") which had an effective date of September 30, 2015. In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company used proceeds of $3.4 million from its recently closed private offering of common stock to make the regularly scheduled principal payments of $1.5 million on September 30, 2015 and to make a prepayment of $1.9 million on the term loan on October 13, 2015.

 

Among other things, the Amendment defers all previously scheduled principal payments on outstanding borrowings under the facility until March 31, 2017 and modifies financial covenants to facilitate the Company's compliance with such covenants during the current downturn in the oilfield services industry.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a borrowing capacity of up to $1.0 million under the amended revolving credit facility in addition to a cash balance in excess of $0.8 million after giving effect to the prepayment of the term loan on October 13, 2015. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2015.

 

On August 15, 2014, we completed a bulk equipment purchase, consisting of centrifuges, shakers, service vehicles and other associated equipment, for total consideration of $10.3 million of which $2.0 million was in the form of a Subordinated Note Payable. There are no required interest or principal payments related to the note prior to June 30, 2017.

 

The Company finances the purchase of certain vehicles and equipment using long-term equipment loans and non-cancelable capital leases. Repayment occurs over the term of the loan or lease, typically three to five years, in equal monthly installments which include principal and interest. At September 30, 2015, we had $2.6 million outstanding under equipment loans and capital leases.
