EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Organization

We are one of the largest pure-play providers of integrated well completion services in the U.S., with a focus on complex, technically demanding completion solutions. Our primary service offerings include horizontal and vertical fracturing, wireline perforation and logging and engineered solutions. Our total capacity includes approximately 1.4 million hydraulic horsepower. From our 29 currently deployable hydraulic fracturing fleets ("fleets"), 34 wireline trucks, 24 cementing units and other ancillary assets located in the Permian Basin, the Marcellus/Utica Shale, the Bakken Formation, the SCOOP/STACK Formation and other active oil and gas basins, we pride ourselves on providing industry-leading completion services with a strict focus on health, safety and environmental stewardship and cost-effective customer-centric solutions. We distinguish ourselves through three key principles, which include (i) our partnerships with high-quality customers, (ii) our intense focus on safety and efficiency and (iii) our focus on value creation for all our stakeholders.

We provide our services in conjunction with onshore well development, including stimulation operations on existing wells, to well-capitalized oil and gas exploration and production ("E&P") customers, with some of the highest quality and safety standards in the industry and long-term development programs that enable us to maximize operational efficiencies and the return on our assets. We believe our integrated approach and proven capabilities enable us to deliver cost-effective solutions for increasingly complex and technically demanding well completion requirements, which include longer lateral segments, higher pressure rates and proppant intensity and multiple fracturing stages in challenging high-pressure formations. In addition, our technical team and engineering center, which is located in The Woodlands, Texas, provides us with the ability to supplement our service offerings with engineered solutions specifically tailored to address customers' completion requirements and unique challenges.

We are organized into two reportable segments, consisting of Completion Services, which includes our hydraulic fracturing, wireline divisions and ancillary services; and Other Services, which exclusively includes our cementing division. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on equipment utilization, revenue, segment gross profit and gross margin. Segment gross profit is a key metric that we use to evaluate segment operating performance and to determine resource allocation between segments. We define segment gross profit as segment revenue less segment direct and indirect cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. Additionally, our operations management make rapid and informed decisions, such as price adjustments that offset commodity movements and align with market rates, decisions to strategically deploy our existing and new fleets and real-time supply chain management decisions, by utilizing top line revenue, together with individual direct and indirect costs on a per stage and per fleet basis.

Merger with C&J

On June 16, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with C&J Energy Services, Inc. ("C&J") and King Merger Sub Corp. ("Merger Sub").

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into C&J (the "Merger"), with C&J surviving and continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Keane, and (b) at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the surviving corporation and each outstanding share of common stock of C&J (other than shares beneficially owned by C&J) will

be converted into the right to receive 1.6149 shares of common stock of Keane, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares that otherwise would have been issued. Immediately following the effective time, C&J shall be merged with and into King Merger Sub II LLC ("LLC Sub"), with LLC Sub continuing as the surviving entity as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Keane.

At the effective time, Keane will be renamed and Keane common stock, including the shares to be issued in the Merger, will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under a new ticker symbol. C&J and Keane estimate that holders of C&J common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company (based on fully diluted shares outstanding of the combined company) immediately following the effective time, and holders of shares of Keane common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company (based on fully diluted shares outstanding of the combined company) immediately following the effective time.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others, approval by the stockholders of Keane of the issuance of shares of Keane common stock and approval by the stockholders of C&J of the Merger Agreement, as well as the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period, and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including those under domestic antitrust and competition laws, including the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). In connection with the Merger, Keane and C&J each filed a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the DOJ on June 28, 2019. On July 18, 2019, the companies received notification of early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Keane Investor Holdings LLC ("Keane Investor"), which beneficially owns 51,668,175 shares of Keane common stock, has entered into a Support Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy (the "Support Agreement"), dated June 16, 2019, by and among Keane Investor, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. ("Cerberus"), an affiliate of Keane Investor, and C&J. The Support Agreement places certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Keane held by Keane Investor and Cerberus, including, subject to certain exceptions, that for the period commencing at the effective time and continuing for forty-five days thereafter, Keane Investor and Cerberus shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, their shares of Keane common stock or any other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Keane common stock. In addition, the Support Agreement includes covenants that, with limited exceptions, require Keane Investor (which owns approximately 49.2% of the outstanding shares of Keane common stock) to vote its shares in favor of the share issuance to C&J stockholders and against actions that may impair or impede the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 ( File No. 333-232662 ) with the SEC on July 16, 2019. We have agreed to operate our business in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the proposed Merger, subject to specific exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and have agreed to certain other customary restrictions on operations, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Financial results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $ 427.7 million and $578.5 million , respectively. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $ 849.4 million and $ 1.1 billion , respectively. The net decline in each comparative period was driven primarily by a decrease in rig count, fleet utilization, combined with pricing pressures from macroeconomic market conditions. This decrease in utilization was primarily from our customers shifting their focus to capital discipline through reduced activity levels and pricing. Despite pricing pressures, we retained our core customer base by aligning with high quality and efficient customers under dedicated agreements. Offsetting these declines increase in operational performance, with higher pumping times.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $103.2 million and $130.8 million , respectively. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $187.2 million and $240.5 million , respectively. Gross profit drivers for 2019 had a favorable impact on operating margins, driven by deflation in key input costs. Consistent with our efforts to maintain and grow the supply of our key commodities and skilled workforce, as influenced by market demand, we continued to secure key contracts with suppliers, as well as position labor rates to facilitate retaining skilled employees and attracting new talent.

We reported net loss of $5.0 million , or $0.05 per basic and diluted share during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $30.7 million or $0.28 and $0.27 , per basic and diluted share, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2018. We reported net loss of $26.8 million , or $0.26 per basic and diluted share during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $22.4 million or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The following tables reconcile net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, and gross profit (loss) to Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Current highlights

Safety


•	We achieved a rolling 12-month average total recordable incident rate of 0.36 during the second quarter of 2019, which remains substantially less than the industry average.

Strategic Initiatives and Opportunities


•	On June 17, 2019, Keane announced plans to merge with C&J in a transaction that will create one of the largest U.S. well completion services companies. The transaction remains on target to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Customer Partnerships


•	During the second quarter of 2019, Keane converted one spot hydraulic fracturing fleet to a dedicated agreement with a major operator in the Permian Basin, expanding our portfolio of blue chip customers under dedicated agreements. We remain focused on partnering with highly efficient customers with shared values.

Technology

•

Keane is advancing on its strategy of driving efficiency and enhancing safety through our multi-pronged approach to surface, digital and downhole technologies. In close collaboration with our customers and industry partners, Keane continues to invest in the development and deployment of a range of new technologies across integrated completions. Our focus on innovation is contributing to tangible results, as evidenced by increased pumping hours per fleet, reduction in non-productive time and cost savings during the second quarter of 2019.

Efficiency


•	Keane achieved record pump times during the second quarter of 2019, driven by execution, deployment of technology, and improvements in the frac calendar. Efficiency remains a key differentiator and why customers choose to partner with Keane.

Business outlook

Throughout a majority of 2018, market conditions for completion services were positive, including tightness in supply and demand for completion services equipment and supportive commodity prices. However, beginning in late 2018, the industry faced growing headwinds, including E&P capital budget exhaustion, early achievement of E&P production targets, price differentials and normal seasonality resulting in softness in demand for completion services. At the same time, the price of crude oil experienced a significant and rapid decline beginning in November 2018, exacerbating the negative impacts on completion services activity. Together, these factors led to lower activity levels, delays in the 2019 budgeting cycle for many E&P companies and an imbalance of hydraulic fracturing equipment supply.

Since the beginning of 2019, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices have improved from a low of $42.53 per barrel in late-December 2018 to $59.30 barrel as of July 15, 2019. Improved crude oil prices, combined with budget resets and the alleviation of seasonal and other temporary headwinds resulted in a stabilization in pricing for completion services. Effectively managing these external factors impacting the industry, Keane has performed well, achieving improving efficiencies and financial performance during the first two quarters of 2019.

Currently, completions activity and commodity prices remain dynamic, with many operators focused on capital discipline. We currently believe we have good visibility into continued strength in activity for the third quarter of 2019, and are carrying momentum into the back half of 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we have 23 fleets deployed, with most of them committed through at least 2019. Market dynamics can be quick to develop, particularly during the latter part of the year, including budget exhaustion and other seasonal factors. Keane is focused on remaining close to its customers, and will remain responsive to market conditions. However, to date, Keane has not received indication of any planned slowdown in activity from customers.

Gross Profit: Gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $38.0 million, or 51%, to $36.9 million from $74.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. This change in gross profit by reportable segment is discussed below.

Completion Services: Gross profit for Completion Services decreased by $40.2 million, or 52%, to $36.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $76.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Gross profit for Completion Services decreased primarily related to a decrease in our fully utilized fleet year over year and pricing pressures from market conditions.

Other Services: Gross profit (loss) for Other Services increased by $2.2 million, or 127%, to $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $(1.7) million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Gross profit (loss) for Other Services was driven by strong execution, in addition to our decision in the first quarter of 2019 to idle activity in one of our operating regions.

Equipment Utilization: In aggregate, depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues was 16% and 10% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Loss on disposal of assets decreased by $3.6 million , or 110% , to a gain of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from a loss of $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The change in depreciation and amortization was primarily related to additional equipment purchases from an acquisition in late 2018, maintenance spend for fleet readiness, and other equipment used for enhancing safety and efficiency through our multi-faceted approach of surface, digital and downhole technologies. The decrease in loss is primarily related to loss generated in the second quarter of 2018 as a result of the Mathis facility sale for $2.7 million, combined with gains generated on the sale of tractors in second quarter of 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expense: Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense as a percentage of revenues was 8% and 4% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . SG&A includes certain one-time items such as $5.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense and $6.1 million of transaction costs related to the Merger, offset by $0.3 million related to final adjustments related to prior legal matter.

Effective tax rate: Our effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 12.77%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is due to state taxes and change in valuation allowance. As a result of market conditions and their corresponding impact on our business outlook, we determined that a valuation allowance was appropriate as it is not more likely than not that we will not utilize our net deferred tax assets. The remaining tax impact not offset by a valuation allowance is related to tax amortization on our indefinite-lived intangible assets, state tax deferred liabilities and current state income taxes.

Future sources and use of cash

Capital expenditures for 2019 are projected to be primarily related to maintenance capital spend to support our existing active fleets, wireline trucks and cementing units. We anticipate our capital expenditures will be funded by cash flows from operations. We currently estimate that our capital expenditures for 2019 will range between $140.0 million and $160.0 million.

Debt service, exclusive of leases, for the year ended December 31, 2019 is projected to be $27.0 million . Our leverage ratio, as calculated pursuant to the terms of our debt agreement, is 0.74x for the twelve rolling months ended June 30, 2019. We anticipate our debt service will be funded by cash flows from operations.

Effective February 25, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a reset of capacity on our existing stock repurchase program back to $100 million. Additionally, the program's expiration date was extended to December 2019 from a previous expiration date of September 2019. As of June 16, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, our existing stock repurchase program has been suspended.

Other factors affecting liquidity

Financial position in current market. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $ 117.1 million of cash and a total of $173.5 million available under our revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2019 , we were compliant with all financial and non-financial covenants in our bank agreements. Furthermore, we have no material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a long period of time. We currently believe that our cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months, including for capital expenditures, debt service, working capital investments, contingent liabilities and stock repurchases.

Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with a financial institution under which $2.8 million of letters of credit were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

Customer receivables . In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. The majority of our trade receivables have payment terms of 30 days. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers' cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations that impact or could impact our liquidity. The table below contains our known contractual commitments as of June 30, 2019 :

Principal Debt Agreements

2017 ABL Facility

Structure . As of June 30, 2019 , the Company's asset-based revolving credit facility obtained on February 17, 2017 and as amended on December 22, 2017 (the "2017 ABL Facility") provided for a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $20.0 million subfacility for letters of credit), subject to a borrowing base in accordance with the terms agreed between us and the lenders. In addition, subject to approval by the applicable lenders and other customary conditions, the 2017 ABL Facility allows for an additional increase in commitments of up to $150.0 million.

The 2018 Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Keane Group's option, (a) the base rate plus 2.75%, or (b) the adjusted LIBOR for such interest period (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 3.75%, subject to, on and after the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, a pricing grid with three 0.25% per annum step-ups and one 0.25% per annum step-down determined based on total net leverage for the relevant period. Following a payment event of default, the 2018 Term Loans bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such 2018 Term Loans at such time plus an additional 2.00% per annum during the continuance of such event of default.

Related Party Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy and procedures (the "Related Party Policy") for the review, approval and ratification of the related party transactions by the independent members of the audit and risk committee of our Board of Directors. For purposes of the Related Party Policy, a "Related Party Transaction" is any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including the incurrence or issuance of any indebtedness or the guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be reasonably expected to exceed $120,000 in any fiscal year, (2) the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant and (3) any Related Party (as defined herein) has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. All Related Party Transactions will be reviewed in accordance with the standards set forth in the Related Party Policy after full disclosure of the Related Party's interests in the transaction.

The Related Party Policy defines "Related Party" as any person who is, or, at any time since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year, was (1) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) a person with greater than five percent (5%) beneficial interest in the Company, (3) an immediate family member of any of the individuals or entities identified in (1) or (2) of this paragraph and (4) any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing individuals or entities is employed or is a general partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person or entity has a five percent (5%) or greater beneficial interest. Immediate family members include a person's spouse, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law and anyone residing in such person's home, other than a tenant or employee.

For further details about our transactions with Related Parties, see Note (13) Related Party Transactions of Part I, "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included within Part I, "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)" requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

A critical accounting estimate is one that requires a high level of subjective judgment by management and has a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included within Part I, "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , as well as our consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes included in Part II, "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and Part II, "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

We believe the following is a new critical accounting policy used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a) Leases

Per ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," lessees can classify leases as finance leases or operating leases, while lessors can classify leases as sales-type, direct financing or operating leases. All leases, with the exception of short-term leases, are capitalized on the balance sheet by recording a lease liability, which represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, along with a corresponding right-of-use asset, which represents our right to use the underlying asset being leased. For leases in which we are the lessee, we use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability, as in most cases we do not know the lessor's implicit rate in the lease. Establishing our lease obligations on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets require judgmental assessments of the term lengths of each and the interest rate yield curve that best represents the collateralized incremental borrowing rate to apply to each lease. We engage third-party specialists to assist us in determining the collateralized incremental borrowing rate yield curve. Errors in determining the lease term lengths and/or selecting the best representative collateralized incremental borrowing rate can have a material adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For further details about our leases, see Note (11) Leases of Part I, "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

(b) Income Taxes

The income tax expense on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in an effective tax rate of 6.09% . The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is due to state taxes and change in valuation allowance.

After considering all available positive and negative evidence, we determined it is not more likely than not that we will not utilize our net deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future and continued to maintain a full valuation allowance. The net deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2019 were $0.2 million and were related to tax amortization on our indefinite-lived intangible assets and certain state deferred taxes.

The completion of the Merger may result in a change in our net deferred tax position. Any impact on the deferred tax position of an acquiring entity for accounting purposes caused by a business combination is recorded in the acquiring company's financial statements outside of acquisition accounting. This accounting requirement may result in a significant fluctuation in our effective tax rate. We currently do not have an estimate for the tax impact.

For discussion on the potential impact of new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted, see Note ( 15 ) New Accounting Pronouncements of Part I, "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

From time to time in our financial reports, we will use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information that we believe is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate our ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income and gross profit. These non-GAAP measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing our ongoing operating performance, and thereby facilitates review of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different capital structures, and comparability to our results of operations may be impacted by the effects of acquisition accounting on our depreciation and amortization. As a result of the effects of these factors and factors specific to other companies, we believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) provide helpful information to analysts and investors to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance to that of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, along with certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) is defined as gross profit (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, along with cost of services that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.
