• | the current significant surplus in the supply of oil and actions by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with supply limitations; |
• | uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of an economic recovery in the United States and elsewhere, which in turn will likely affect demand for crude oil and natural gas and therefore the demand for our services; |
• | the level of production and resulting market prices for crude oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons; |
• | changes in general economic and geopolitical conditions; |
• | competitive conditions in our industry; |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiary (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for annual financial statements. Those adjustments (which consisted of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made. Results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year due to changes in market conditions and other factors. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC (our "Form 10-K").
Risks and Uncertainties
As an oilfield services company, we are exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are inherent to our industry. In addition to such industry-specific risks, the global public health crisis associated with the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has, and is anticipated to continue to have, an adverse effect on global economic activity for the immediate future and has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. The slowdown in global economic activity attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic decline in the demand for energy, which directly impacts our industry and the Company. In addition, global crude oil prices experienced a collapse starting in early March 2020 as a direct result of failed negotiations between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia. In response to the global economic slowdown, OPEC had recommended a decrease in production levels in order to accommodate reduced demand. Russia rejected the recommendation of OPEC as a concession to U.S. producers. After the failure to reach an agreement, Saudi Arabia, a dominant member of OPEC, and other Persian Gulf OPEC members announced intentions to increase production and offer price discounts to buyers in certain geographic regions.
As the breadth of the COVID-19 health crisis expanded throughout the month of March 2020 and governmental authorities implemented more restrictive measures to limit person-to-person contact, global economic activity continued to decline commensurately. The associated impact on the energy industry has been adverse and continued to be exacerbated by the unresolved conflict regarding production. In the second week of April 2020, OPEC, Russia and certain other petroleum producing nations (“OPEC+”), reconvened to discuss the matter of production cuts in light of unprecedented disruption and supply and demand imbalances that expanded since the failed negotiations in early March 2020. Tentative agreements were reached to cut production by up to 10 million barrels of oil per day with allocations to be made among the OPEC+ participants. Some of these production cuts went into effect in the first half of May 2020, however, commodity prices remain depressed as a result of an increasingly utilized global storage network and near-term demand loss attributable to the COVID-19 health crisis and related economic slowdown.
The combined effect of COVID-19 and the energy industry disruptions led to a decline in WTI crude oil prices of approximately 67 percent from the beginning of January 2020, when prices were approximately $62 per barrel, through the end of March 2020, when they were just above $20 per barrel. Overall crude oil price volatility has continued despite apparent agreement among OPEC+ regarding production cuts and as of July 31, 2020, the WTI price for a barrel of crude oil was approximately $41.
Despite a significant decline in drilling and completion activities by U.S. producers starting in mid-March 2020, domestic supply is exceeding demand, which has led to significant operational stress with respect to capacity limitations associated with storage, pipeline and refining infrastructure, particularly within the Gulf Coast region. The combined effect of the aforementioned factors is anticipated to have an adverse impact on the industry in general and our operations specifically.
Since March 2020, we initiated several actions to mitigate the anticipated adverse economic conditions for the immediate future and to support our financial position and liquidity. The more significant actions that we have taken included: (i) canceling substantially all of our growth capital projects, (ii) significantly reducing our maintenance expenditures and field level consumable costs, (iii) reducing our workforce to follow our activity levels, (iv) efforts to manage our compensation costs, such as compensation reductions and short-term management of work schedules to minimize overtime costs and (v) negotiating more favorable payment terms with certain of our larger vendors and proactively managing our portfolio of accounts receivable.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of the principal activities, separated into our one reportable segment and "all other" category, from which the Company generates its revenue.
Pressure Pumping — Pressure pumping consists of downhole pumping services, which includes hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing services) and cementing.
Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique intended to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of shale wellbores. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into shale formations. Our hydraulic fracturing contracts have one performance obligation, contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output method, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed faithfully depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time. In addition, certain of our hydraulic fracturing equipment is entitled to daily idle fee charges if a customer were to idle committed hydraulic fracturing equipment. The Company recognizes revenue related to idle fee charges on a daily basis as the performance obligations are met.
Acidizing, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involves a well-stimulation technique where acid is injected under pressure into formations to form or expand fissures. Our acidizing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize acidizing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
Our cementing services use pressure pumping equipment to deliver a slurry of liquid cement that is pumped down a well between the casing and the borehole. Our cementing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize cementing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
The transaction price for each performance obligation for all our pressure pumping services is fixed per our contracts with our customers.
All Other— All other consists of our coiled tubing and drilling, which are all downhole well stimulation and completion/remedial services. The performance obligation for each of the services has a fixed transaction price which is satisfied at a point-in-time upon completion of the service when control is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, we recognize revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the service and transfer of control to the customer.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount billed and billable to customers. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued revenue (unbilled receivable) included as part of our accounts receivable was $6.5 million and $37.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2020, the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for our partially completed hydraulic fracturing operations was $4.3 million, which is expected to be completed and recognized in one month following the current period balance sheet date, in our pressure pumping reportable segment.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.5 million allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is based on the evaluation of both our historic collection experience and the expected impact of currently deteriorating economic conditions for the oil and gas industry. We evaluated the historic loss experience on our accounts receivable and also considered separately customers with receivable balances that may be further impacted by current economic developments and market conditions. While the Company has not experienced significant credit losses in the past and has not yet seen material changes to the payment patterns of its customers, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the degree to which the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential impact of periodically adjusted borrowing base limits, level of hedged production,

or unforeseen well shut-downs may affect the ability of its customers to timely pay receivables when due. Accordingly, in future periods, the Company may revise its estimates of expected credit losses.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable and lease receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost, and should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified-retrospective approach, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Periods prior to the adoption date that are presented for comparative purposes are not adjusted. The Company continuously evaluates customers based on risk characteristics, such as historical losses and current economic conditions. Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, the Company often evaluates its customers’ estimated losses on a combination of historical losses and on case-by-case basis. There was no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-13.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and determined the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under this ASU, an entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, although the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted this guidance and the adoption did not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 for additional disclosures relating to our goodwill impairment.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in 2020
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The guidance provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. This guidance is effective upon issuance and expires on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the LIBOR transition and this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities, and long-term debt. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 approximated or equaled their carrying values as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurement (Continued)
In the first quarter of 2020, the negative future near-term outlook resulting from the continued idling of our Permian drilling assets and current market prices were indicative of potential impairment, resulting in the Company comparing the carrying value of the Permian drilling assets with its estimated fair value. We determined that the carrying value of the Permian drilling assets was greater than its estimated fair value, accordingly impairment expense of $1.1 million was recorded for our Permian drilling assets during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
In 2019, the Company entered an agreement with its equipment manufacturer granting the Company the option to purchase additional 108,000 hydraulic horsepower (“HHP”) of DuraStim® equipment, with the purchase option expiring at different times through April 30, 2021. The option fee of $6.1 million, classified as a deposit for property and equipment as part of our pressure pumping reportable segment has been fully impaired and written off in the first quarter of 2020 because it is not probable that the Company will exercise the option to purchase the equipment given the current depressed crude oil prices and other market conditions that have resulted in a decline in the demand for our hydraulic fracturing services.
The total non-cash property and equipment impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in our hydraulic fracturing and drilling segments was $7.2 million and $0, respectively.
We generally apply fair value techniques to our reporting units on a nonrecurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill. Our estimate of the reporting unit fair value is based on a combination of income and market approaches, Level 1 and 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. The income approach involves the use of a discounted cash flow method, with the cash flow projections discounted at an appropriate discount rate. The market approach involves the use of comparable public companies' market multiples in estimating the fair value. Significant assumptions include projected revenue growth, capital expenditures, utilization, gross margins, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and weight allocation between income and market approaches. If the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, we consider goodwill impaired, and the impairment loss is calculated and recorded in the period. There were no additions to, or disposal of, goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the depressed crude oil prices and crude oil storage challenges faced in the U.S. oil and gas industry triggered the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test, and as a result, we compared the carrying value of the goodwill in our hydraulic fracturing reporting unit with the estimated fair value. Our impairment test also considered other relevant factors, including market capitalization and market participants' view of the oil and gas industry in reaching our conclusion that that carrying value of our goodwill in our pressure pumping reportable segment of $9.4 million is fully impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a goodwill impairment expense of $9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There was no goodwill impairment expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Note 4 - Long-Term Debt
ABL Credit Facility
Our revolving credit facility (“ABL Credit Facility”), as amended, has a total borrowing capacity of $300 million (subject to the Borrowing Base limit), with a maturity date of December 19, 2023. The ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base of 85% of monthly eligible accounts receivable less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"), as redetermined monthly. The Borrowing Base as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $16.8 million. The ABL Credit Facility includes a Springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $22.5 million. Under this facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either LIBOR or base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans, with a LIBOR floor of zero.
The loan origination costs relating to the ABL Credit Facility are classified as an asset in our balance sheet. The weighted average interest rate for our ABL Credit Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 3.2%.
Total debt consisted of the following at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

Note 5 - Reportable Segment Information
The Company has four operating segments for which discrete financial information is readily available: hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing), cementing, coiled tubing and drilling. In March 2020, the Company shut down its flowback operating segment and subsequently disposed of the assets for approximately $1.6 million. These operating segments represent how the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and allocates resources.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280—Segment Reporting, the Company has one reportable segment (pressure pumping) comprised of the hydraulic fracturing and cementing operating segments. All other operating segments and corporate administrative expense (inclusive of our total income tax expense and interest expense) are included in the ‘‘all other’’ category in the table below. Total corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $27.5 million and $57.2 million, respectively.
Our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 89.7% and 93.7% of our pressure pumping revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 95.6% and 95.8% of our pressure pumping revenue, respectively.
Inter-segment revenues are not material and are not shown separately in the table below.
The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segment by its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before other income (expense), interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance, impairment expense, (gain)/loss on disposal of assets and other unusual or nonrecurring expenses or (income)). A reconciliation from segment level financial information to the consolidated statement of operations is provided in the table below ($ in thousands):

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) relevant to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share uses the same net income (loss) divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus dilutive effects of options, performance and restricted stock units outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury method and the potential dilutive effects of preferred stocks (if any) calculated using the if-converted method.

Restricted Stock Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted a total of 1,143,230 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, officers and directors pursuant to the ProPetro Holding Corp. 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which generally vest ratably over a three-year vesting period, in the case of awards to employees and officers, and generally vest in full after one year, in the case of awards to directors. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense for all RSUs was approximately $9.3 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.

Performance Share Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 966,242 performance share units ("PSUs") (excluding PSUs that were administratively cancelled and regranted) to certain key employees and officers as new awards under the Incentive Plan. The actual number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the PSUs ranges from 0% up to a maximum of 200% of the target number of PSUs granted to the participant, based on our total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a designated peer group, generally at the end of a three year period. In addition to the TSR conditions, vesting of the PSUs is generally subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the end of the applicable performance period. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo probability model. Grant recipients do not have any shareholder rights until performance relative to the peer group has been determined following the completion of the performance period and shares have been issued.
The following table summarizes information about PSUs activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020:

Operating Leases
Description of Lease
In March 2013, we entered into a ten year real estate lease contract (the "Real Estate Lease") with a commencement date of April 1, 2013, as part of the expansion of our equipment yard. The lease is with an entity in which a former director of the Company has a noncontrolling equity ownership interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company made lease payments of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities under this contract are equally allocated between our cementing and coiled tubing segments. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal of up to ten years, and in management's judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Real Estate Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. Effective January 1, 2019, the remaining lease term in our present value estimate of the minimum future lease payments was four years.
Consistent with the requirements of the new lease standard, ASC 842, we have determined the Real Estate Lease to be an operating lease. Our assumptions resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term. We did not account for the land separately from the building of the real estate lease because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted average discount rate and remaining lease term was 6.7% and 2.8 years, respectively.
As of June 30, 2020, our total operating lease right-of-use asset cost was approximately $1.2 million, and accumulated amortization was approximately $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded operating lease cost of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in our statement of operations.
Finance Leases
Description of Ground Lease
In 2018, we entered into a ten year land lease contract (the "Ground Lease") with an exclusive option to purchase the land exercisable beginning one year from the commencement date of October 1, 2018 through the end of the contractual lease term. The Ground Lease did not include any residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Ground Lease did not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. In March 2020, the Company exercised its option and purchased the land associated with the Ground Lease for approximately $2.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the interest on our finance lease was approximately $0 and $0.1 million, respectively.
The maturity analysis of liabilities and reconciliation to undiscounted and discounted remaining future lease payments for our operating lease as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

Short-Term Leases
We elected the practical expedient, consistent with ASC 842, to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") from our balance sheet and continue to record short-term leases as a period expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our short-term leases and lodging expense was approximately $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our short-term leases and lodging expense was approximately $0.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. At June 30, 2020, the total remaining lease commitments for all of our short-term leases and lodging commitments was approximately $6.0 million.
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has an existing agreement with its equipment manufacturer granting the Company the option to purchase additional 108,000 HHP of DuraStim® equipment, with the purchase option expiring at different times through April 30, 2021. The option fee of $6.1 million, which was classified as a deposit for property and equipment when the agreement was entered into in 2019, has been impaired and written off as of June 30, 2020 as it is not probable that we will exercise our option to purchase the equipment given the current market conditions and the depressed oil and gas industry.
As of June 30, 2020, the total outstanding contractual commitments entered into as part of normal course of business for supply of certain equipment and other assets was approximately $0.8 million.
The Company enters into purchase agreements with its sand suppliers (the "Sand suppliers") to secure supply of sand as part of its normal course of business. The agreements with the Sand suppliers require that the Company purchase a minimum volume of sand, constituting substantially all of its sand requirements, from the Sand suppliers, otherwise certain penalties may be charged. Under certain of the purchase agreements, a shortfall fee applies if the Company purchases less than the minimum volume of sand. The shortfall fee represents liquidated damages and is either a fixed percentage of the purchase price for the minimum volumes or a fixed price per ton of unpurchased volumes. Under one of the purchase agreements, the Company is obligated to purchase a specified percentage of its overall sand requirements, or it must pay the supplier the difference between the purchase price of the minimum volumes under the purchase agreement and the purchase price of the volumes actually purchased. Our minimum volume commitments under the purchase agreements are either based on a percentage of our total usage or fixed minimum quantity. Our agreements with the Sand suppliers expire at different times prior to April 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, no shortfall fee has been recorded. One of the Sand suppliers (“SandCo”) we entered into an agreement with to purchase sand (“Texas sand”) has an indirect relationship with a former executive officer of the Company, because beginning in 2018, the Texas sand was sourced from a mine located on land owned by an entity (“LandCo”) in which the former executive officer of the Company has a 44% noncontrolling equity interest. The total sand purchased from SandCo during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the period the former executive was associated with the Company) was approximately $5.3 million and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $22.1 million.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had issued letters of credit of approximately $3.7 million under the Company's ABL Credit Facility relating to the Company’s casualty insurance policy.
Contingent Liabilities
In September 2019, a complaint, captioned Richard Logan, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff, v. ProPetro Holding Corp., et al., (the “Logan Lawsuit”), was filed against the Company and certain of its then current and former officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.
In July 2020, Lead Plaintiffs Nykredit Portefølje Administration A/S, Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System, and Oklahoma City Employee Retirement System, and additional named plaintiff Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit, individually and on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 17, 2017 and March 13, 2020, filed a third amended class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in the Logan Lawsuit, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule l0b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, as amended, based on allegedly inaccurate or misleading statements, or omissions of material facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects against the Company, certain former officers, and current and former directors.

The Company was named as a nominal defendant only. The claims include (i) breaches of fiduciary duties, (ii) unjust enrichment and (iii) contribution. Boca Raton did not quantify any alleged damages in its complaint but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, Boca Raton seeks various forms of relief, including (i) damages sustained by the Company as a result of the Boca Raton Defendants’ alleged misconduct, (ii) punitive damages and (iii) equitable relief in the form of improvements to the Company’s governance and controls.
In April 2020, Jye-Chun Chang filed a shareholder derivative suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Chang Lawsuit”) against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors (the “Chang Defendants”). The Company was named as a nominal defendant only. The claims include (i) violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, (ii) breach of fiduciary duties, (iii) unjust enrichment, (iv) abuse of control, (v) gross mismanagement and (vi) waste of corporate assets. Chang did not quantify any alleged damages in its complaint but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, Chang seeks various forms of relief, including (i) declaring that Chang may sustain the action on behalf of the Company, (ii) declaring that the Chang Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, (iii) damages sustained by the Company as a result of the Chang Defendants’ alleged misconduct, (iv) equitable relief in the form of improvements to the Company’s governance and controls and (v) restitution.
In May 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas consolidated the Boca Raton and Chang Lawsuits and named Boca Raton the Lead Plaintiff (the "Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit"). Plaintiffs in the Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit have yet to file an amended consolidated complaint.
In October 2019, the Company received a letter from the SEC indicating that the SEC had opened an investigation into the Company and requesting that the Company provide certain information and documents, including documents related to the Company's expanded audit committee review and related events. The Company has cooperated and expects to continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation.
We are presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of the Logan Lawsuit, the Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit, the SEC investigation, or any other related lawsuit or investigation. As of June 30, 2020, no provision was made by the Company in connection with these pending lawsuits and the SEC investigation as they are still at early stages and the final outcomes cannot be reasonably estimated.
Environmental
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of the Company's business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Regulatory Audits
In 2019, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts commenced a routine audit of the Company's gross receipts and sales, excise and use taxes for the periods of July 2015 through December 2018. As of June 30, 2020, although the audit has not been finalized, we do not believe that any material tax liability will arise from the audit.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The financial information, discussion and analysis that follow should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Form 10-K as well as the financial and other information included therein.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to the "Company," "we," "our," "us" or like terms refer to ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiary.
Overview
We are a growth-oriented, Midland, Texas-based oilfield services company providing hydraulic fracturing and other complementary services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production ("E&P") of North American unconventional oil and natural gas resources. Our operations are primarily focused in the Permian Basin, where we have cultivated long-standing customer relationships with some of the region's most active and well-capitalized E&P companies. The Permian Basin is widely regarded as one of the most prolific oil-producing area in the United States, and we believe we are currently one of the largest providers of hydraulic fracturing services in the region by hydraulic horsepower ("HHP").
Our total HHP as of June 30, 2020 was 1,469,000 HHP which comprised of 1,415,000 HHP of conventional HHP and 54,000 HHP of the new DuraStim® hydraulic fracturing equipment. We expect to receive our remaining 54,000 HHP of the newly built and fully paid DuraStim® equipment in 2021.
Our competitors include many large and small oilfield services companies, including RPC, Inc., Halliburton Company, Patterson-UTI Energy Inc., Nextier Oilfield Solutions Inc., Liberty Oilfield Services Inc., Superior Energy Services Inc., Schlumberger Limited, FTS International Inc. and a number of private companies. Although we believe price is a key factor in E&P companies' criteria in choosing a service provider, we believe that other important factors include operational efficiency, technical expertise, service and equipment quality, and health and safety standards. While we seek to price our services competitively, we believe many of our customers elect to work with us based on our deep local roots, operational expertise, the capability of our modern fleet to handle the most complex Permian Basin well completions, and commitment to safety and reliability.
Our substantial market presence in the Permian Basin positions us well to capitalize on drilling and completion activity in the region. Historically, our operational focus has been in the Permian Basin's Midland sub-basin, where our customers have primarily operated. However, as activity in the Delaware sub-basin increased, we expanded our presence in the Delaware sub-basin in response to demand from our customers. Given our dedicated relationships with a variety of Delaware sub-basin operators, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to capture large addressable growth opportunity as the basin develops. Over time, we expect the Permian Basin's Midland and Delaware sub-basins to continue to command a disproportionate share of future North American E&P spending.
Through our pressure pumping segment (which also includes our cementing operations), we primarily provide hydraulic fracturing services to E&P companies in the Permian Basin. Our modern hydraulic fracturing fleet has been designed to handle Permian Basin specific operating conditions and the region's increasingly high-intensity well completions, which are characterized by longer horizontal wellbores, more stages per lateral and increasing amounts of proppant per well. The majority of our fleet has been delivered in recent years, and we continue to fully maintain our equipment to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
In addition to our core pressure pumping segment operations, which includes our cementing operations, we also offer a suite of complementary well completion and production services, including coiled tubing and other services. We believe these complementary services create operational efficiencies for our customers and could allow us to capture a greater portion of their capital spending across the lifecycle of a well.
Commodity Price and Other Economic Conditions
The oil and gas industry has traditionally been volatile and is influenced by a combination of long-term, short-term and cyclical trends, including domestic and international supply and demand for oil and gas, current and expected future prices for oil and gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, and capital investments of E&P companies toward their development and production of oil and gas reserves. The oil and gas industry is also impacted by general domestic and international economic conditions, political instability in oil producing countries, government regulations (both in the United States and internationally), levels of consumer demand, adverse weather conditions, and other factors that are beyond our control.
-22-
The global public health crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has and is anticipated to continue to have an adverse effect on global economic activity for the immediate future and has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. The slowdown in global economic activity attributable to COVID-19 has resulted in a dramatic decline in the demand for energy which directly impacts our industry and the Company. In addition, global crude oil prices experienced a collapse starting in early March 2020 as a direct result of failed negotiations between OPEC and Russia. In response to the global economic slowdown, OPEC had recommended a decrease in production levels in order to accommodate reduced demand. Russia rejected the recommendation of OPEC as a concession to U.S. producers. After the failure to reach an agreement, Saudi Arabia, a dominant member of OPEC, and other Persian Gulf OPEC members announced intentions to increase production and offer price discounts to buyers in certain geographic regions.
As the breadth of the COVID-19 health crisis expanded throughout the month of March 2020 and governmental authorities implemented more restrictive measures to limit person-to-person contact, global economic activity continued to decline commensurately. The associated impact on the energy industry has been adverse and continued to be exacerbated by the unresolved conflict regarding production. In the second week of April 2020, OPEC reconvened to discuss the matter of production cuts in light of unprecedented disruption and supply and demand imbalances that expanded since the failed negotiations in early March 2020. Tentative agreements were reached to cut production by up to 10 million barrels of oil per day, or BOPD, with allocations to be made among the OPEC+ participants, which began to take effect in the first half of May 2020. However, in July 2020, OPEC+ agreed to increase production from such reduced levels, beginning in August 2020. In addition, commodity prices remain depressed as a result of an increasingly utilized global storage network and near-term demand loss attributable to the COVID-19 health crisis and related economic slowdown.
The combined effect of COVID-19 and the energy industry disruptions led to a decline in WTI crude oil prices of approximately 67 percent from the beginning of January 2020, when prices were approximately $62 per barrel, through the end of March 2020, when they were just above $20 per barrel. Overall crude oil price volatility has continued despite apparent agreement among OPEC+ regarding production cuts and as of July 31, 2020, the WTI price for a barrel of crude oil was approximately $41.
Despite a significant decline in drilling and completion activity by U.S. producers starting in mid-March 2020, domestic supply continues to exceed demand which has led to significant operational stress with respect to capacity limitations associated with storage, pipeline and refining infrastructure, particularly within the Gulf Coast region. The combined effect of the aforementioned factors is anticipated to have a continuing adverse impact on the industry in general and our operations specifically.
The Permian Basin rig count has decreased significantly from approximately 403 at the beginning of 2020 to approximately 125 in July 2020, according to Baker Hughes, and may continue to decline if current market conditions do not improve. As a result of the depressed market conditions and events, the Company expects a material adverse impact on the services we provide resulting from our customers shutting down completions of wells and pricing pressure from our customers to reduce the prices of our services. We expect the reduction in the number of wells completion activities and the pricing pressure from our customers to have a negative impact on our future revenue, results of operations and cash flows.
Although the oil and gas market is currently depressed, we still believe the Permian Basin, our primary area of operation, is the leading basin with the lowest break-even production cost in the United States. If the market rebounds, we believe there will be increased demand for pressure pumping services in the Permian Basin where we operate. If the current depressed oil prices and economic conditions remain for a longer period of time, our profitability and future cash flows will be negatively impacted, and as a result, we may be required to record additional asset impairment charges in future periods.
Our results of operations have historically reflected seasonal tendencies, typically in the fourth quarter, relating to holiday seasons, inclement winter weather and exhaustion of our customers' annual budgets. As a result, we typically experience declines in our operating results in November and December, even in a stable commodity price and operations environment. The seasonal tendencies and the current depressed oil and gas market conditions could result in a longer recovery time in the oil and gas industry thereby significantly impacting on revenue, results of operations and cash flows for a longer period of time beyond 2020.
Actions to Address the Economic Impact of COVID-19 and Decline in Commodity Prices
Since March 2020, we initiated several actions to mitigate the anticipated adverse economic conditions for the immediate future and to support our financial position, liquidity and the efficient continuity of our operations as follows:
◦ | Growth Capital. We cancelled substantially all our planned growth capital expenditures for the remainder of 2020. |
-23-
◦ | Other Expenditures. We significantly reduced our maintenance expenditures and field level consumable costs due to our reduced activity levels. We have been seeking lower pricing for our expendable items, materials used in day-to-day operations and large component replacement parts. Also, we have been internalizing certain support services that were outsourced. |
◦ | Labor Force Reductions. We have reduced our workforce by over 60% between April and May 2020, due to the changing activity levels for our services. We will continue to make appropriate adjustments to our workforce to reflect outlook related to activity levels. |
◦ | Compensation Related Costs. The directors and officers have voluntarily reduced compensation at different levels up to 20%. We have taken efforts to manage work schedules, primarily related to hourly employees, to minimize overtime costs. |
◦ | Working Capital. We have negotiated more favorable payment terms with certain of our larger vendors and are continuing to increase our diligence in collecting and managing our portfolio of accounts receivables. |
We are continuing to evaluate and consider additional cost saving measures. We will continue to prioritize the safety and welfare of our employees and customers through these turbulent times.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our management uses a variety of financial metrics, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate and analyze the performance of our various operating segments.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We view Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as our earnings, before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus (i) loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, (iii) stock-based compensation, and (iv) other unusual or non‑recurring (income)/expenses, such as impairment charges, severance, costs related to our initial public offering and costs related to asset acquisitions or one-time professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental measures utilized by our management and other users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, and research analysts, to assess our financial performance because it allows us and other users to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), nonrecurring (income)/expenses and items outside the control of our management team (such as income taxes). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”), except when specifically required to be disclosed by GAAP in the financial statements. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure, asset base, nonrecurring expenses (income) and items outside the control of the Company. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Results of Operations
We conducted our business through four operating segments: hydraulic fracturing, cementing, coiled tubing, and drilling. Our drilling assets in our drilling operating segment have been idled since 2016. In March 2020, the Company shut down its flowback operating segment and subsequently disposed of the assets for approximately $1.6 million. For reporting purposes, the hydraulic fracturing and cementing operating segments are aggregated into our one reportable segment—pressure pumping. All other operating segments and corporate administrative expenses (inclusive of our total income tax expense and interest expense) are included in the ‘‘all other’’ category. Total corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The corporate administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $27.5 million and $57.2 million, respectively.
Our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 89.7% and 93.7% of our pressure pumping revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 95.6% and 95.8% of our pressure pumping revenue, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenues. Revenues decreased 80.0%, or $423.4 million, to $106.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $529.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our pressure pumping segment revenues decreased 79.9%, or $412.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases were primarily attributable to the significant decrease in demand for pressure pumping services that led to a significant decrease in our hydraulic fracturing fleet utilization, as well as pricing discounts we provided to our customers following the depressed oil prices and slowdown in economic activity from the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was revenue generated from idle fees charged to our customer of approximately $32.6 million. Our average active fleet count decreased to approximately 4.0 active fleets during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately 25.6 active fleets for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Revenues from services other than pressure pumping decreased 83.2%, or $11.3 million, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue from services other than pressure pumping was primarily attributable to the significant reduction in utilization experienced by our coiled tubing operations, which was driven by lower E&P completions activity following the depressed oil prices and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 82.3%, or $318.0 million, to $68.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $386.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Cost of services in our pressure pumping segment decreased $308.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. These decreases were primarily attributable to the significantly lower activity levels following the depressed oil prices and economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively impacted E&P completions activity. As a percentage of pressure pumping segment revenues (including idle fees), pressure pumping cost of services was 63.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to 72.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in our cost of services percentage was primarily attributable to the idle fees revenue. Excluding idle fees revenue of $32.6 million, our pressure pumping cost of services as a percentage of pressure pumping revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was approximately 92.7%. The increase in our cost of services as a percentage of revenue (excluding idle fees) in our pressure pumping segment was attributable to the pricing pressure on our services resulting from significantly lower demand for our services and E&P completions activity.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 27.1%, or $7.6 million, to $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The net decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in (i) allowance for credit losses of $4.2 million, (ii) retention bonus of $1.7 million, (iii) nonrecurring advisory and professional fees of $1.4 million and (iv) payroll related expenses of $1.0 million, partially offset by a net increase of $0.7 million in other remaining general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 13.2%, or $4.7 million, to $40.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our fixed asset base as of June 30, 2020, resulting primarily from an increase in our pressure pumping fleet capacity by 3.8% to 1,469,000 HHP as of June 30, 2020.
Loss on Disposal of Assets. Loss on the disposal of assets decreased 72.0%, or $22.5 million, to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in utilization of our equipment. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, including certain major components of our pressure pumping equipment that are replaced, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the net amount is recognized as loss on disposal of assets.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 61.0%, or $1.2 million, to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the decrease in our average debt balance during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Income Tax Expense. Total income tax benefit was $6.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to income tax expense of $10.3 million or an effective tax rate of 22.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The income tax benefit recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the Company projecting a pre-tax loss in 2020 as compared to a pre-tax income in 2019. Furthermore, the change in the effective tax rate from 22.1% to 20.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to nondeductible expenses and discrete items such as stock compensation expense reducing the benefit recorded for the pre-tax loss.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenues. Revenues decreased 53.4%, or $574.5 million, to $501.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $1,075.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our pressure pumping segment revenues decreased 53.2%, or $557.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases were primarily attributable to the significant decrease in demand for pressure pumping services that led to a significant decrease in our hydraulic fracturing fleet utilization, as well as pricing discounts we provided to our customers following the depressed oil prices and slowdown in economic activity from the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was revenue generated from idle fees charged to our customer of approximately $34.1 million. Our average active fleet count decreased to approximately 11.1 active fleets during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately 26.3 active fleets for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Revenues from services other than pressure pumping decreased 62.4%, or $17.3 million, to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue from services other than pressure pumping was primarily attributable to the significant reduction in utilization experienced by our coiled tubing operations, which was driven by lower E&P completions activity following the depressed oil prices and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 51.9%, or $398.7 million, to $369.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $767.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cost of services in our pressure pumping segment decreased $385.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. These decreases were primarily attributable to the significantly lower activity levels resulting from the depressed oil prices and

economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively impacted E&P completions activity. As a percentage of pressure pumping segment revenues (including idle fees), pressure pumping cost of services increased to 73.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to 71.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding idle fees revenue of $34.1 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020, our pressure pumping cost of services as a percentage of pressure pumping revenues for six months ended June 30, 2020, was approximately 78.9%. The increase in our cost of services as a percentage of revenue in our pressure pumping segment is attributable to the pricing pressure on our services resulting from significantly lower demand for our services and E&P completions activity.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 2.5%, or $1.1 million, to $45.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $46.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in (i) retention bonus of $3.5 million associated with personnel who joined us in 2019 as part of the Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition, (ii) payroll and stock-based compensation expense of $3.1 million and (iii) property taxes and other general and administrative expense of $2.2 million, partially offset by a net increase of approximately $7.7 million paid in professional fees to legal and accounting consultants, which was primarily attributable to the Company's audit committee internal review, SEC investigation and shareholders' litigation.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 17.2%, or $11.8 million, to $80.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $68.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our fixed asset base as of June 30, 2020, resulting primarily from an increase in our pressure pumping fleet capacity by 3.8% to 1,469,000 HHP as of June 30, 2020.
Impairment Expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the depressed market conditions, crude oil prices and negative near-term outlook for the utilization of our assets, resulted in the Company recording an impairment expense of $16.7 million, of which $9.4 million relates to goodwill impairment and $7.2 million relates to property and equipment impairment. There was no impairment expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Loss on Disposal of Assets. Loss on the disposal of assets decreased 43.3%, or $21.8 million, to $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $50.4 million for six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in utilization of our equipment. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, including certain major components of our pressure pumping equipment that are replaced, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the net amount is recognized as loss on disposal of assets.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 47.3%, or $1.9 million, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the decrease in our average debt balance during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Income Tax Expense. Total income tax benefit was $7.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to income tax expense of $32.2 million or an effective tax rate of 23.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The income tax benefit recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the Company projecting a pre-tax loss in 2020 as compared to a pre-tax income in 2019. Furthermore, the change in the effective tax rate from 23.3% to 17.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to nondeductible expenses and discrete items such as stock compensation expense reducing the benefit recorded for the pre-tax loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is currently provided by (i) existing cash balances, (ii) operating cash flows and (iii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility (“ABL Credit Facility”). Our primary uses of cash will be to continue to fund our operations, support growth opportunities and satisfy any future debt payments. Our borrowing base, as redetermined monthly, is tied to 85.0% of eligible accounts receivable. Changes to our operational activity levels have an impact on our total eligible accounts receivable, which could result in significant changes to our borrowing base and therefore our availability under our ABL Credit Facility. With the current depressed oil and gas market conditions, we believe our remaining monthly availability under our ABL Credit facility will continue to be adversely impacted by the expected decline in our customers’ activity.
As of June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility, and our total liquidity was approximately $50.4 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $37.3 million and $13.1 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility.
As of July 31, 2020, our total liquidity was approximately $43.1 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $22.6 million and $20.5 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility.
There can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures. Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, and are highly dependent on the drilling, completion, and production activity by our customers, which in turn is highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices. Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may issue equity and debt securities or take other actions necessary to fund our business or meet our future long-term liquidity requirements.
The global public health crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has and is anticipated to continue to have an adverse effect on global economic activity for the immediate future and has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. The slowdown in global economic activity attributable to COVID-19 has resulted in a dramatic decline in the demand for energy which directly impacts our industry and the Company. In addition, global crude oil prices experienced a collapse starting in early March 2020. As a result of these developments, the Company expects a material adverse impact on the oil field services we provide and our revenue, results of operations and cash flows. These situations are rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently and the depressed oil and gas industry may take a longer time to recover thereby significantly impacting on our revenue, results of operations and cash flows for a longer period of time.
Our ABL Credit Facility, as amended, has a total borrowing capacity of $300 million (subject to the Borrowing Base limit), with a maturity date of December 19, 2023. The ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base of 85% of monthly eligible accounts receivable less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"). The Borrowing Base as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $16.8 million and was approximately $24.2 million as of July 31, 2020. The ABL Credit Facility includes a Springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i)10% of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $22.5 million. Under this facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either LIBOR or base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans, with a LIBOR floor of zero. The weighted average interest rate for our ABL Credit Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 3.2%.
In July 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intend to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. At the present time, the ABL Credit Facility is subject to LIBOR rates but has a term that extends beyond the end of 2021 when LIBOR will be phased out. We have not yet pursued any technical amendment or other contractual alternative to address this matter. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of eventual replacement of the LIBOR interest rate.

Future Sources and Use of Cash and Contractual Obligations
Future capital expenditures are projected to be primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures to support our active assets depending on fleet utilization, customer demand and market conditions. We anticipate our capital expenditures will be funded by existing cash, cash flows from operations, and if needed, borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. Our cash flows from operations will be generated from services we provide to our customers and idle fees if a customer (Pioneer) decides to idle committed fleets and we are not able to deploy the idled fleets to another customer. During times when there is a significant reduction in overall demand for our services, the idle fees could represent a material portion of our revenues and cash flows from operations. The total amounts of idle fees earned and billed to our customer that was included in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020, which we expect to collect in the near-term, is approximately $32.6 million. Our maintenance capital expenditures are dependent on our operational activity and the intensity on the equipment, among other factors, which could vary throughout the year. In addition, we have option agreements with our equipment manufacturer to purchase additional 108,000 HHP of DuraStim® hydraulic fracturing equipment through April 30, 2021. We believe the cost to acquire the DuraStim® hydraulic fracturing equipment will be comparable to our previously purchased DuraStim® hydraulic fracturing equipment. In the current economic environment, it is not probable we would exercise these options before they expire.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repaid all our borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility of approximately $130.0 million with cash flows from operations and our available cash. Our objective is to maintain a conservative leverage ratio.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations and routine growth and maintenance capital expenditures that impact on our future liquidity. There were no other known future material contractual obligations as of June 30, 2020.
Cash and Cash Flows
The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
($ in thousands) | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||
Net cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||
Operating activities | $ | 96,910 | $ | 150,851 | ||||
Investing activities | $ | (78,025 | ) | $ | (324,334 | ) | ||
Financing activities | $ | (130,615 | ) | $ | 77,062 |
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $150.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net decrease of $53.9 million was primarily due to the decrease in our activity levels resulting from the decrease in the demand for our services, driven by the depressed crude oil prices and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our industry.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $78.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $324.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company’s initiatives to significantly reduce growth and maintenance capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2020 following the depressed oil and gas market and decreased demand for our services. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company acquired and paid approximately $110.0 million for the purchase of 510,000 HHP, 4 coiled tubing units and maintenance yard (associated with the Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition), and also made cash deposits of approximately $102.9 million to its equipment manufacturers for DuraStim® hydraulic fracturing equipment including option fees deposit.
-32-
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $130.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and net cash provided by financing activities was $77.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net decrease in cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily driven by the repayment of our outstanding borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility of $130.0 million, compared to net borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility of $80.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our 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 of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2020, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our management has concluded that our financial statements in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of ProPetro Holding Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. ProPetro Holding Corp. maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance, at a reasonable cost, that assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use and that the financial records are adequate and can be relied upon to produce financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The internal control system is augmented by written policies and procedures, an internal audit program and the selection and training of qualified personnel. This system includes policies that require adherence to ethical business standards and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. The Company intends to continually improve and refine its internal controls.
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the evaluation under these criteria, management determined, based upon the existence of the material weaknesses identified and previously reported in our Form 10-K and described below, that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Due to the existence of the material weaknesses described below, our internal control over financial reporting remained ineffective as of June 30, 2020.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Control Environment
We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control environment component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to the following COSO principles: (i) the organization demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values, (ii) the board of directors demonstrates independence from management and exercises oversight of the development and performance of internal control, (iii) management establishes, with board oversight, structures, reporting lines, and appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of objectives, (iv) the organization demonstrates a commitment to attract, develop, and retain competent individuals in alignment with objectives, and (v) the organization holds individuals accountable for their internal control related responsibilities in the pursuit of objectives.
-34-
Our senior management did not establish and promote a control environment with an appropriate tone of compliance and control consciousness throughout the entire Company. The Company did not sufficiently promote, monitor or enforce adherence to its Code of Conduct and Ethics. Additionally, the recently concluded expanded audit committee review found that there was a general lack of focus on promoting a culture of compliance within the Company. Results of poor tone at the top included: (i) certain whistleblower allegations were not properly investigated and elevated to the Committee, (ii) the lack of an employee expense review and approval policy, (iii) two instances of non-compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, and (iv) instances of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct and Ethics policies.
This material weakness in the control environment contributed to material weaknesses in the following components of the COSO framework.
Information and Communication
We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the information and communication component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to the following COSO principles: (i) the organization internally communicates information, including objectives and responsibilities for internal control, necessary to support the functioning of internal control, and (ii) the organization communicates with external parties regarding matters affecting the functioning of internal control.
Factors contributing to the material weakness included miscommunication between management and the Board regarding the conditionality of certain contracts that resulted in the non-disclosure of such contract commitments and the impact of such commitments on the Company’s future liquidity.
Control Activities
We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control activities component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to the following COSO principles: (i) the organization selects and develops control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks to the achievement of objectives to acceptable levels and (ii) the organization deploys control activities through policies that establish what is expected and procedures that put policies into action.
The Company’s failure to maintain appropriate tone at the top had a pervasive impact, and as such, resulted in a risk that could have impacted virtually all financial statement account balances and disclosures.
The COSO component material weaknesses described above contributed to the following material weakness within our system of internal control over financial reporting at the control activity level.
Related Parties
We did not maintain controls designed to sufficiently identify, evaluate, and disclose related party transactions. As a result, two related party transactions were entered into that were not identified by the Company’s controls and given consideration of appropriate disclosure.
Remediation Plan and Status
Our remediation efforts to the identified material weaknesses are ongoing, and we will continue our initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. The Board and management have implemented, among other items, the following measures to address the material weaknesses identified:
• | Appointed new executive officers with extensive public company experience to improve the tone at the top, communication with the Board and compliance with policies within the Company. |
• | Enhanced certain of the Company’s policies, including the Code of Ethics and Conduct, Expense Reimbursement, Travel and Entertainment, and Delegation of Responsibilities and Authority. Additionally, the Company enhanced or implemented control activities to monitor compliance with such policies. |
• | Designed and implemented control activities related to the identification of, approval of, and disclosure of related party transactions. |
• | Designed and implemented control activities related to the identification and approval of potential conflicts of interest. |
• | Designed and implemented control activities related to the evaluation of whistleblower allegations. |
-35-
• | Formed a disclosure committee and appointed a Chief Disclosure Officer to provide improved corporate governance related to disclosures the Company provides to the public and other external parties. |
Our remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening our internal control environment is ongoing and will require a substantial effort. We will continue to evaluate the design and implementation and operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls that address all the material weaknesses we identified as of December 31, 2019. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing for a period of time, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
