NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

U.S. Well Services, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a Houston, Texas-based technology-focused oilfield service company focused on electric powered pressure pumping services for oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States. The process of pressure pumping involves pumping a pressurized stream of fluid—typically a mixture of water, chemicals, and proppant—into a well casing or tubing to cause the underground mineral formation to fracture or crack. Fractures release trapped hydrocarbon particles and provide a conductive channel for the oil or natural gas to flow freely to the wellbore for collection. The propping agent or proppant becomes lodged in the cracks created by the stimulation process, “propping” them open to facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the well.

The Company’s fleets consist mostly of all-electric, mobile pressure pumping equipment and other auxiliary heavy equipment to perform stimulation services. The Company's Clean Fleet® electric fleets replace the traditional engines, transmissions, and radiators used in conventional diesel fleets with electric motors powered by electricity. The Company utilizes high-pressure hydraulic fracturing pumps mounted on trailers and refers to the group of pump trailers and other equipment necessary to perform a typical job as a “fleet” and the personnel assigned to each fleet as a “crew”. In May 2021, the Company announced its commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and since then it has sold most of its legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment. We have retained some of our legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment for use during our transition to support our electric fleets and bridge the time gap between our customers' current service needs and the deployment of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®. Upon delivery, our Nyx Clean Fleets® are intended to replace any conventional fleet in operation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes present the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Our operations are organized into a single business segment, which consists of pressure pumping services, and we have one reportable geographical business segment, the United States.

Reverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on May 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a specified range. On September 30, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-3.5 reverse split of its Class A common stock. All owners of record as of September 30, 2021 received one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock in exchange for three and one half outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of shares of Class A common stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation or on the par value per share of the Class A common stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets, valuation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrant liabilities, term loan, and convertible senior notes, and the valuation of share-based compensation and certain equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements, or are reserved for a specific purpose, and not readily available for immediate or general use are recorded in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, restricted cash primarily consisted of $0.7 million transferred into a trust account to support our workers’ compensation obligations. As of December 31, 2021, restricted cash consisted of $0.7 million transferred into a trust account to support our workers’ compensation obligations and $2.0 million for the prepayment of the Senior Secured Term Loan.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


	March 31,
	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	40,407	$	17,726
Restricted cash		736		519
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	41,143	$	18,245

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their outstanding balances adjusted for an allowance for doubtful accounts. Revenue earned and recognized in advance of invoice issuance creates assets referred to as “unbilled receivables”. Unbilled receivables are presented on a combined basis with accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by analyzing the payment history and credit worthiness of each customer. Receivable balances are charged off when they are considered uncollectible by management. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded as income when received.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company wrote-off accounts receivables of $12.0 million, which was previously reserved in full as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory

Inventory consists of proppant, chemicals, and other consumable materials and supplies used in our pressure pumping operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out cost basis. All inventories are purchased for use by the Company in the delivery of its services with no inventory being sold separately to outside parties. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly and write-downs for obsolete inventory are recorded based on our forecast of the inventory item demand in the near future. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had established inventory reserves of $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. Amounts spent for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related asset, are charged to expense as incurred.

U.S. WELL SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

The Company separately identifies and accounts for certain critical components of its pressure pumping units including the engine, transmission, and pump, which requires us to separately estimate the useful lives of these components. For our other service equipment, we do not separately identify and track depreciation of specific original components. When we replace components of these assets, we typically estimate the net book values of the components that are retired, which are based primarily upon their replacement costs, their ages and their original estimated useful lives.

Leases

At inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease and the appropriate lease classification as operating or finance. When a lease is identified, a right-of-use asset and the corresponding lease liability are recorded on the lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In the event a lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the remaining lease payments. Leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company generally does not include renewal or termination options in its assessment of the leases unless extension or termination for certain assets is deemed to be reasonably certain. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also has some lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.

Right-of-use assets are assessed periodically for impairment if events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company monitors events and modifications of existing lease agreements that would require reassessment of the lease. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding right-of-use asset.

Warrants

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity is evaluated pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

The Company’s issued and outstanding Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Series A Warrants are recognized as liabilities. Accordingly, we recognize these warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value upon issuance and adjust the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Public Warrants are valued using their quoted market price since they are publicly traded and thus had an observable market price. The Private Placement Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Series A Warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company’s issued and outstanding Term C Loan Warrants, RDO Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are recognized as equity.

See “Note 9 – Warrants” for additional disclosure of the Company’s outstanding warrants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

•

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments:

Senior Secured Term Loan. The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan is $96.5 million and $106.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Senior Secured Term Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

Term C Loan. The fair value the Term C Loan is $22.6 million as of March 31, 2022 based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Term C Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equipment financing. The carrying value of the equipment financing notes approximates fair value as its terms are consistent with and comparable to current market rates as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Warrants. Certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value. See “Note 9 – Warrants” for fair value measurements associated with the Company’s warrants.

Convertible Senior Notes. The fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes is $75.1 million and $73.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on an option pricing framework using a lattice model. If the Convertible Senior Notes were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the customer’s ability to benefit from the services rendered in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, typically measured by the number of stages completed or the number of pumping days a fleet is available to pump for a customer in a month. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, and the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice has been determined. A portion of the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved.

The Company has elected to use the “as invoiced” practical expedient to recognize revenue based upon the amount it has a right to invoice upon the completion of each performance obligation per the terms of the contract.

Patent License Sales. The sales of the right to use the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology is a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes the income associated with the patent license sales at the point in time when the Company satisfies its performance obligation by granting the purchaser the right to use the patented Clean Fleet® technology and transfer of control has occurred. The patent license sales are recognized as other income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk

The concentration of our customers in the oil and natural gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.

The following table shows the percentage of revenues from our significant customers:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Customer A	15.0%	*
Customer B	*	13.0%
Customer C	21.8%	12.6%

Income Taxes

The provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company records a cumulative adjustment.

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was 0.00%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance on the Company's federal and state net deferred tax assets and excess tax benefits related to net operating losses. Due to tax losses and offsetting valuation allowance, the Company did not record a provision for U.S. income taxes in any period.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. The tax years subsequent to 2018 remain open and subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities in which the Company is subject to tax. The Company is not under examination in any other jurisdictions.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against all federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination. After consideration of all the information available, management determined that a valuation allowance was appropriate, as it is more likely than not that the Company will not utilize its net deferred tax assets.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Except as discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20, ASU 2019-01 and ASU 2020-02 (collectively, “ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842, using the modified retrospective with applied transition method and recognized a cumulative impact to retained earnings in that period, which allowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Topic 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients, whereby it will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.

On January 1, 2022, upon adoption of the new leasing standard, the Company recognized operating right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $1.6 million. On January 1, 2022, the Company recognized finance lease right-of-use assets of $3.6 million, reclassified from property and equipment, net and finance lease liabilities of $3.8 million, including $3.2 million reclassified from current and long-term capital lease obligations. The impact of adoption of the new leasing standard had no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. The new guidance also improves the issuer’s application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2022, using the prospective method of transition. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The new guidance will be effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) to issue 16.0% Convertible Senior Secured (Third Lien) PIK Notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), in a private placement to institutional investors (the “Private Placement”). Two of the institutional investors were Crestview III USWS TE, LLC and Crestview III USWS, L.P. (collectively, “Crestview Partners”), which are related parties.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued $136.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, comprised of Cash Notes, Exchange Notes (collectively with the Cash Notes, the “Equity Linked Notes”) and a License Linked Note, as described below, which mature on June 5, 2026. The Convertible Senior Notes are secured by a third priority security interest in the collateral that secures the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 16.0% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest is calculated on the last day of each quarter, commencing September 30, 2021, and will be paid in kind (“PIK”) on such date by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Senior Notes.

The carrying value of the Convertible Senior Notes is as follows:


	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Principal	$	114,000		$	114,000
PIK interest		14,633			9,686

Equity Linked Notes. In June 2021 and July 2021, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued and sold $75.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that are convertible at any time at the holder’s option, into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for cash (the “Cash Notes”).

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company evaluated the Equity Linked Notes and determined they should be classified as liabilities due to the unconditional obligation to settle the notes for a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. Certain of the Equity Linked Notes were initially measured at fair value as they were considered new instruments issued concurrently to extinguish the Series A preferred stock.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On May 7, 2019, the Company, U.S. Well Services, LLC (“USWS LLC”), as the borrower, and all the other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement”) with CLMG Corp., as administrative and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. Upon entering the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed $250.0 million in Term A and Term B Loans (collectively the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), which matures on December 5, 2025.

On February 28, 2022, the Company, USWS LLC and all the other subsidiaries of the Company entered into the sixth term loan amendment to the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement with CLMG Corp., as administrative agent and term loan collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, to make certain modifications to the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the interest rates, principal payments, certain covenants relating to collateral, approved growth capital expenditures, and mandatory prepayments.

The Senior Secured Term Loan interest rate was 0.0% for the period beginning April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2022. As of April 1, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan was reduced to less than $103.0 million, resulting in an interest rate for the period beginning April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 of (i) 1.0% per annum in cash and (ii) 4.125% per annum paid-in-kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan on each interest payment date. The Senior Secured Term Loan will resume incurring interest on January 1, 2023 at the applicable benchmark rate, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus the applicable margin of 8.25% per annum.

The Senior Secured Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million until March 31, 2023 and $5.0 million from June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2025, with final payment due at maturity.

Since April 2020, the Company has accounted for the Senior Secured Term Loan as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. The subsequent amendments, including the sixth term loan amendment, did not result in a significant modification or extinguishment resulting in no change in accounting for the Senior Secured Term Loan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made principal payments of $17.8 million, which included prepayments of $16.5 million driven primarily by asset sales. The early repayment of debt resulted in a write-off of $1.6 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees of $0.1 million, all of which were presented as loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan was $103.0 million, of which $5.0 million was due within one year from the balance sheet date.

Term C Loan

The sixth term loan amendment to the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement also provided for an additional tranche of last-out term loans (the “Term C Loan”) of up to $35.0 million principal amount, with a maturity date of December 5, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $21.5 million in Term C Loans.

The Term C Loan was funded by a syndicate of institutions and individuals (collectively, the “Term C Loan Lenders”), including related parties, Crestview Partners and its affiliates and David Matlin, and was extended on a last-out basis in the payment waterfall relative to the existing Senior Secured Term Loan, and was otherwise made on the general terms and conditions consistent with the Senior Secured Term Loan.

The Term C Loan shall bear interest at a benchmark rate, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus 12.0% per annum, accrued on a daily basis, to be paid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Term C Loan on each interest payment date. The default rate for the Term C Loan shall be 2.0% over and above the non-default rate, subject to the same terms and conditions for the Senior Secured Term Loan.

After repayment of the Senior Secured Term Loan in full, the Company will pay to the Term C Loan Lenders the following premium upon any repayment, prepayment or acceleration of the Term C Loan:

•

30% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs on or prior to May 31, 2022;

•

65% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022; and

•

100% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs on or after to September 1, 2022.

In connection with the entry into the Term C Loan, the Company issued an aggregate total of 14,999,999 Term C Loan Warrants to the Term C Loan Lenders, including related parties, Crestview Partners and David Matlin. Using the accounting guidance in ASC 470, Debt and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Term C Loan Warrants were recognized as equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the proceeds received were allocated as $14.7 million and $6.8 million to the Term C Loan and Term C Loan Warrants, respectively, based on the relative fair value at issuance.

The fair value of the Term C Loan was $22.6 million, calculated using a discounted cash flow model. The difference between the Term C Loan principal balance at issuance and the value allocated to it was $6.8 million, which was accounted for as a debt discount. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.7 million of transaction costs related to the Term C Loan, which were recorded as debt issuance costs. The debt discount and issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Term C Loan and are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Term C Loan.

The fair value of the Term C Loan Warrants was $10.5 million, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value for the Term C Loan Warrants, at issuance:


	February 2022 Warrants		March 2022 Warrants
Exercise price	$	1.10	$	1.29
Contractual term	6.0 years		6.0 years
Volatility rate	55.0%		55.0%
Risk-free interest rate	1.8%		1.6%
Expected dividend rate	0%		0%

See “Note 9 - Warrants” for additional disclosure regarding the Term C Loan Warrants.

As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Term C Loan was $21.8 million, including $0.3 million of PIK interest, classified as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ABL Credit Facility

On May 7, 2019, the Company, USWS LLC, and all the other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an ABL Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Credit Facility”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate revolving commitment under the ABL Credit Facility is $50.0 million and the facility matures on April 1, 2025.

Restricted Stock

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated U.S. Well Services, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “LTIP”), the Company grants shares of restricted Class A common stock (“restricted stock”) to certain employees and directors. Restricted stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and is generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient is no longer an employee or director of the Company prior to the lapse of the restriction. Restricted stock granted to employees generally vests over four years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the grant date and grants to directors generally vest in full after one year. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022:


	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2021		388,886		$	24.55

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $0.8 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.96 years.

Deferred Stock Units

The Company awards deferred stock units (“DSUs”) to certain key employees of the Company pursuant to the LTIP. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. DSUs generally vest over three years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date, subject to the grantee’s continuous service through each vesting period but settlement does not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The grant date fair value of the DSU is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the DSUs activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022:


	Units			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Outstanding at December 31, 2021		2,052,474		$	1.49

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to DSUs was $1.4 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.24 years.

Pool A Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool A Performance Awards (“Pool A Awards”) to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool A Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, a fixed monetary amount either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on its closing share price on the date of settlement. The Pool A Awards vest in full one year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the applicable award agreement but settlement does not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date. As of March 31, 2022, all Pool A Awards outstanding were fully vested.

The Company accounts for the Pool A Awards under liability accounting as a result of the fixed monetary amount that could be settled either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Since the settlement will not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the Company considers the delayed settlement as a post-vesting restriction which would impact the determination of grant-date fair value of the award.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted Pool A Awards that fully vested on January 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the Pool A Awards liabilities were remeasured to $7.1 million, which was estimated using a risk-adjusted discount rate reflecting the weighted-average cost of capital of similarly traded public companies.

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to Pool A Awards was $3.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.09 years.

Pool B Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool B Performance Awards (“Pool B Awards”) to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool B Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, either a cash payment calculated in accordance with the award agreement, or a fixed number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Pool B Awards vest over three years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the applicable award agreement, subject to the grantee’s continuous services through each vesting period but settlement does not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The grant date fair value of the Pool B Awards is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

The information provided below supplements, but does not form part of, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events, conditions and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “plans,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “foresee,” or the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that these statements are not forward-looking. These statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These factors include geological, operating and economic factors and changes in prices and market conditions, including changes in expected or realized oil and gas prices and demand for oilfield services and changes in supply or demand for maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and service; the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions; our ability to obtain financing, raise capital and continue as a going concern; our ability to implement our internal growth and acquisition growth strategies; general economic and business conditions specific to our primary customers; our ability to collect accounts receivable; compliance with our debt agreements and equity-related securities; volatility in market prices; our ability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq with respect to our Class A common stock and warrants or to cure any continued listing standard deficiency with respect thereto; changes in government regulations; our ability to effectively integrate businesses we may acquire; new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; availability of materials and labor; inability to obtain or delay in obtaining government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as natural disasters, catastrophes and severe weather conditions, including floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; public health crises, such as a pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic and new and potentially more contagious variants of COVID-19; acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; and cyber-attacks adversely affecting our operation. This Quarterly Report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. There can be no assurance that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences also include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report to the “Company”, “USWS”, “we”, or “our” shall mean U.S. Well Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We provide pressure pumping services in oil and natural gas basins. Our Clean Fleet® electric fleets are among the most reliable and highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to meet the most demanding pressure and pump rate requirements. In May 2021, we announced the next generation of our Clean Fleet® technology with the unveiling of our newly designed Nyx Clean Fleet®. We anticipate the first Nyx Clean Fleet® to be delivered in the second quarter of 2022.

We operate in many of the active shale and unconventional oil and natural gas basins of the United States and our clients benefit from the performance and reliability of our equipment and personnel. Specifically, all our fleets operate on a 24-hour basis and have the ability to withstand high utilization rates, which results in more efficient operations. Our senior management team has extensive industry experience providing pressure pumping services to exploration and production companies across North America. Since announcing our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider in May 2021, we have sold most of our legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment. We have retained some of our legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment for use during our transition to support our electric fleets and bridge the time gap between our customers' current service needs and the deployment of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®. Upon delivery, our Nyx Clean Fleets® are intended to replace any conventional fleet in operation.

How the Company Generates Revenue

We generate revenue by providing pressure pumping services to our customers. We own and operate fleets of pressure pumping equipment to perform these services. We seek to enter into contractual arrangements with our customers or fleet dedications, which establish pricing terms for a fixed duration. Under the terms of these agreements, we charge our customers base monthly rates, adjusted for activity and provision of materials such as proppant and chemicals, or we charge a variable rate based on the nature of the job including pumping time, well pressure, proppant and chemical volumes and transportation.

Our Costs of Conducting Business

The principal costs involved in conducting our pressure pumping services are labor, maintenance, equipment rentals, including the rental of power generation equipment, materials, and transportation costs. A large portion of our costs are variable, based on the number and requirements of pressure pumping jobs. We manage our fixed costs, other than depreciation and amortization, based on factors including industry conditions and the expected demand for our services.

Materials include the cost of proppant delivered to the basin of operations, chemicals, and other consumables used in our operations. These costs vary based on the quantity and type of proppant and chemicals utilized when providing pressure pumping services. Transportation represents the costs to transport materials and equipment from receipt points to customer locations. Labor costs include payroll and benefits related to our field crews and other employees. Most of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. Maintenance costs include preventative and other repair costs that do not require the replacement of major components of our fleets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

The following table presents our cost of services for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Other consists of fuel, lubes, other equipment rentals, travel and lodging costs for our crews, site safety costs and other costs incurred in performing our operating activities.

Significant Trends

Since our announcement in May 2021 of our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider, we have sold most of our legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment. The proceeds received from these sales were used to reduce the outstanding principal balance of our Term A and Term B Loan (collectively the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), which resulted in no cash interest payments for the first quarter of 2022 and an interest rate of (i) 1.0% per annum in cash and (ii) 4.125% per annum PIK interest from April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Our revenues and operating costs remained lower in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021, as we continued to experience a lower average active fleet count resulting from our ongoing exit from the diesel pressure pumping market. However, we experienced an uptick in our utilization rate as a greater proportion of our fleets were working under contract as opposed to the spot market, and thus less exposed to customer “white space.” We expect to see our average active fleet count continue to increase as we begin taking delivery of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets® beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, prompt month futures contracts for WTI crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas averaged $94.92 per Bbl and $4.57 per MMBtu, respectively, as compared to $77.17 per Bbl and $4.85 per MMBtu, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2021. We benefitted from the upward trend in commodity prices, as higher demand for pressure pumping services combined with increasing scarcity of available crews and equipment resulted in a favorable environment for deploying crews and negotiating pricing and other terms with customers. However, during the period, we continued to experience cost inflation for certain goods and services as well as non-productive time driven by supply chain issues such as our customers’ inability to source sufficient materials and transportation for goods. We anticipate that these trends will persist throughout the remainder of 2022.

We expect that completions activity and demand for pressure pumping services will remain elevated throughout the year. We also anticipate that the rising price of diesel fuel will continue to improve the economic benefit of switching from conventional to electric pressure pumping, further increasing demand for next-generation, all-electric fleets such as our Clean Fleets® and Nyx Clean Fleets®.

Not meaningful.

Revenue. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a lower active fleet count in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior comparable period as we began to transition to an all-electric pressure pumping service provider in May 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our average active fleet count decreased to 4.7 fleets compared to 10.0 fleets in the prior comparable period.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. The decrease in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the decrease in variable costs as activity was reduced with a lower number of active fleets in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior period. This was offset by costs associated with procuring third-party power generation services as we transitioned away from owning power generation assets starting in October 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the sale of most of our diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment during the second half of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees, information technology costs and reinstatement of salary levels after the first quarter of 2021.

Loss on disposal of assets. The amount of gain or loss on disposal of assets fluctuates period over period due to differences in the operating conditions of our pressure pumping equipment, such as wellbore pressure and rate of barrels pumped per minute, which impacts the timing of disposals of our pump components. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $2.9 million of losses associated with the sale of property and equipment.

Interest expense, net. The increase was primarily attributable to the interest expense associated with the Convertible Senior Notes issued during the second quarter of 2021.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt for the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees associated with the early repayment of our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have historically been cash, cash flow generated from operating activities, proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2022, our total liquidity was $49.6 million, consisting of $41.1 million of cash and restricted cash and $8.5 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures, payments of contractual obligations, including debt service obligations and working capital.

We believe that our current cash position, current and expected working capital balances, favorable cash interest payment terms under our Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, availability under our ABL Credit Facility, proceeds received from issuance of debt or equity, as well as amounts raised from the issuance of Class A common stock under our 2022 ATM Agreement, and other anticipated sources of credit will be sufficient to satisfy cash requirements associated with our existing operations, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for the next twelve months. Although there is no assurance, we plan to satisfy our long-term financial obligations through operating cash flows that we could generate as we increase our number of working fleets with our planned additions of Nyx Clean Fleets® and additional financing as our long-term financial obligations mature.

Sources of Cash

During the first quarter of 2022, we raised approximately $68.4 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of approximately $46.9 million common equity through a registered direct offering and under our ATM Agreement and borrowings of $21.5 million under the last-out senior secured term loan (the “Term C Loan”). We intend to use the proceeds for general working capital, including the funding of capital expenditures related to our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®.

Registered Direct Offering. On March 11, 2022, we completed a registered direct offering of 14,180,375 shares of Class A common stock and 14,180,375 RDO Investor Warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital purposes, including the funding of certain capital expenditures.

ATM Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold 9,767,941 shares of Class A common stock for total net proceeds of $21.3 million and paid $0.6 million in commissions under the ATM Agreement. Since inception on June 26, 2020 through March 31, 2022, we sold a total of 15,086,100 shares of Class A common stock under the ATM Agreement for total net proceeds of $36.4 million and paid $1.1 million in commissions.

2022 ATM Agreement. On April 26, 2022, we entered into a new Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2022 ATM Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. relating to our shares of Class A common stock to replace the former ATM Agreement, which expired on April 26, 2022. We may offer and sell up to a total of $50.0 million in shares of our Class A common stock in an “at-the-market” offering program over a period of time pursuant to the 2022 ATM Agreement. No shares may be sold under the 2022 ATM Agreement until the registration statement filed on April 26, 2022 has been declared effective by the SEC.

Investing activities		6,158			(7,825	)
Financing activities		33,310			31,824

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities primarily represents the results of operations exclusive of non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, provision for losses on accounts receivable and inventory, interest, impairment losses, (gains) losses on disposal of assets, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt and share-based compensation and the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to the working capital build associated with the deployment of additional fleets during the quarter.

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to the redeployment of pressure pumping fleets. While we experienced an increase in customer activity during the second half of the quarter, the related collection of receivables is not expected until the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, we made working capital payments of $3.0 million using proceeds from our USDA Loan.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $14.0 million from the prior corresponding period, primarily related to insurance proceeds related to damaged property and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities was $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to $5.2 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and $12.0 million of insurance proceeds related to damaged property and equipment. This was offset by $11.1 million in purchases of property and equipment, consisting of $10.3 million related to growth capital expenditures and the remainder related to maintaining and supporting our existing pressure pumping equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to $14.2 million in purchases of property and equipment, related to maintaining and supporting our existing pressure pumping equipment and payments made to replace damaged property and equipment. This was offset by $6.4 million of insurance proceeds related to damaged property and equipment.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily attributable to gross proceeds of $68.4 million from the issuance of long-term debt, common stock and warrants, offset in part by $17.8 million of payments on our Senior Secured Term Loan, $14.2 million of net payments on our ABL Credit Facility and debt issuance costs of $1.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to net borrowings of $12.2 million on our ABL Credit Facility, $8.1 million of net proceeds from notes payable and net proceeds of $10.7 million from the issuance of common stock.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commitments

Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations consist primarily of debt service obligations, including interest, operating and finance leases, and purchase commitments.

Senior Secured Term Loan. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of our Term A and Term B Loan (collectively the “Senior Secured Term Loan”) was $103.0 million, of which $5.0 million is due within one year. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on December 5, 2025. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our Senior Secured Term Loan.

The Senior Secured Term Loan interest rate is 0.0% for the first quarter of 2022 and an interest rate of (i) 1.0% per annum in cash and (ii) 4.125% per annum PIK interest from April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Senior Secured Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million until March 31, 2023 and $5.0 million from June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2025, with final payment due at maturity.

Term C Loan. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of our Term C Loan was $21.8 million and matures on December 5, 2025. Our Term C Loan has a PIK interest rate of 14.0% and contains provisions with up to a 100% premium payable upon any repayment, prepayment or acceleration. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our Term C Loan.

ABL Credit Facility. All borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties and certifications regarding sales of certain inventory, and to a borrowing base. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding balance on our ABL Credit Facility. The ABL Credit Facility matures on April 1, 2025. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our ABL Credit Facility.

Capital Expenditures. Our business requires continual investments to upgrade or enhance existing property and equipment and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital expenditures primarily relate to maintenance capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures and fleet enhancement capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures needed to maintain and to support our current operations. Growth capital expenditures include expenditures to add additional fleets and generate incremental distributable cash flow. Fleet enhancement capital expenditures include expenditures on new equipment related to technology enhancements to existing fleets that increase the productivity of the fleet.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our capital expenditures was $11.1 million. We currently expect that growth capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, will be approximately $95 million to $115 million for the remainder of 2022, primarily related to the buildout of our four new Nyx Clean Fleets® and associated equipment. Capital expenditures for growth and fleet enhancement initiatives are discretionary.
