U.S. Well Services (USWS) reported its third quarter 2021 results, highlighting a strategic exit from the diesel pressure pumping market to focus solely on electric pressure pumping services.

"During the third quarter of 2021, U.S. Well Services finalized its exit from the conventional pressure pumping market," said Joel Broussard, the Company's President and CEO.  "Although the transition has not come without challenges, we believe U.S. Well Services is incredibly well positioned to capitalize on the growing market demand for electric pressure pumping services."

"The U.S. Well Services team has done a tremendous job of reducing debt and developing next-generation pressure pumping solutions.  Year-to-date we repaid nearly $90 million of principal on our Senior Secured Term Loan, bringing the outstanding balance to $156.8 million.  Additionally, we took further steps to simplify our capital structure by converting our Series B preferred stock into common shares.  We expect to begin taking delivery of the first of four Nyx Clean Fleets® late in the first quarter of 2022, and we believe these fleets will represent the most advanced pressure pumping fleet available in the market."

Outlook

Commodity prices strengthened during the third quarter of 2021 as a result of the ongoing global economic recovery, which we expect will result in increased demand for pressure pumping services in 2022.  We believe growth in demand will be strongest for providers of next-generation pressure pumping solutions, such as electric fleets, based on request for proposals we have received for work in 2022.  U.S. Well Services is experiencing strong demand for electric pressure pumping services and believes each of our four newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets® will work under contracts when deployed in 2022.  Customers continue to seek U.S. Well Services as a partner thanks to the Company's service quality, industry-leading technology and advanced digital and information platform.

Although pricing for pressure pumping services has improved modestly over the last several quarters, inflation continues to adversely impact the cost and availability of critical goods and services.  U.S. Well Services is working diligently to mitigate supply-chain driven cost increases and to ensure we maintain our high level of operational efficiency in the face of labor and material shortages and other market disruptions.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Summary 

Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 decreased 28% to $56.5 million versus $78.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.  The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the reduction in our active fleet count as the Company exited the conventional pressure pumping market.  U.S. Well Services averaged 5.7 active fleets during the quarter, as compared to 9.3 for the second quarter of 2021.  Utilization of the Company's active fleets averaged 89% during the third quarter of 2021, resulting in a fully-utilized equivalent of 5.0 fleets.  This compares to 85% utilization and a fully-utilized equivalent of 7.9 fleets for the second quarter of 2021. 

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the third quarter of 2021 decreased to $58.1 million from $59.3 million during the second quarter of 2021.  During the quarter, the Company experienced elevated variable costs for labor, repair and maintenance, trucking and equipment rentals, and also incurred approximately $5.5 million of expenses related to our exit from the diesel pressure pumping market and extra third-party labor to supplement staff out on COVID quarantine.  Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $1.0 million in share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter.  Due to a vesting start date of January 1, 2021 for the recipients of some of the share-based awards, $0.7 million of such share-based compensation expense was attributable to the first half of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.  Excluding stock-based compensation, SG&A in the third quarter of 2021 was $6.5 million compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. This sequential increase was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees.

Net loss attributable to the Company decreased sequentially to $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2021.  Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $(0.5) million in the third quarter of 2021 from $14.4 million (excluding income associated with licensing Clean Fleet® technology) in the second quarter of 2021.  Annualized Adjusted EBITDA per fully-utilized fleet was $(0.4) million and Adjusted EBITDA margin was (1)%.⁽¹⁾

Operational Highlights

U.S. Well Services exited the third quarter with four active fleets.  Three fleets were working in the Appalachian Basin and one fleet was in the Permian Basin.  The Company expects to average four to five active fleets in the fourth quarter.

U.S. Well Services continues to be a market leader in electric well stimulation, with over 25,000 electric stages completed since the deployment of our first Clean Fleet® in 2014.  The Company continued to expand its intellectual property portfolio during the third quarter, and currently has 59 patents, with 196 patents pending.

Balance Sheet and Capital Spending

As of September 30, 2021, total liquidity was $47.5 million, consisting of $30.6 million of cash on the Company's balance sheet and $16.9 million of availability under the Company's asset-backed revolving credit facility.

The outstanding principal balance on the Company's senior secured term loan was reduced to $201.4 million at September 30, 2021 from $233.7 million at June 30, 2021.  To date in the fourth quarter, U.S. Well Services has repaid an additional $44.6 million of principal on the senior secured term loan, bringing the current outstanding balance to $156.8 million. 

Maintenance capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, were $1.2 million for the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes, however, that certain non-GAAP performance measures allow external users of its consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against the Company's peers without regard to the Company's financing methods or capital structure. Additionally, the Company believes the use of certain non-GAAP measures highlights trends in the Company's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. The Company's management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow external users of its consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate the Company's operating performance, compare the results of its operations from period to period and against the Company's peers without regard to the Company's financing methods or capital structure and because it highlights trends in the Company's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of its performance that are frequently used by others in evaluating companies in its industry. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that the Company presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the following: (gain) loss on disposal of assets; share-based compensation; impairments; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; change in fair value of warrants; and other items that the Company believes to be non-recurring in nature.  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
