Nine Energy Service Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results

HOUSTON – Nine Energy Service, Inc. (“Nine” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NINE) reported third quarter 2024 revenues of $138.2 million, net loss of $(10.1) million, or $(0.26) per diluted share and $(0.26) per basic share, and adjusted EBITDA of $14.3 million. The Company had provided original third quarter 2024 revenue guidance between $127.0 and $137.0 million, with actual results coming in above the provided range.

“Despite the average US rig count declining quarter over quarter, we increased our revenue by approximately 4%, with revenue coming in above the originally provided guidance,” said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nine Energy Service.

“Nine outperformed market drivers this quarter due in large part to market share gains across operating basins in our cementing division. Cementing revenue increased by approximately 12% over Q2, despite a declining rig count. Our cementing team has been able to differentiate itself in the market by offering what we believe to be the most advanced cementing slurries in the industry, coupled with excellent wellsite execution.”

“Revenue across the remaining service lines were relatively flat, however better utilization across Nine, an increase in international tool sales and cost saving initiatives helped increase profitability this quarter.”

“The market has mostly stabilized from an activity and pricing perspective, but commodity prices continue to fluctuate with global conflicts, weather and OPEC+ behavior. Natural gas prices remain challenging, keeping activity levels in basins like the Northeast and Haynesville low, impacting all of Nine’s service lines. Due to typical budget exhaustion, weather, and holiday slow-downs, as well as an expected decrease in international tool sales, we anticipate Q4 revenue and profitability to be down compared to Q3.”

“We remain positive on demand and the outlook for oil and natural gas. It is too early to provide specifics on 2025 activity levels, but if we see supportive commodity prices, in conjunction with the resetting of customer budgets, we would anticipate a moderate activity pick up in 2025 over current levels.”

“Nine is well positioned in the natural gas basins, as well as throughout the US, to capitalize on an improving market. We have seen our earnings respond significantly and quickly with increased market activity. I believe our service and commodity diversity is critical and that we are differentiated through our technology and service offerings. Our strategy of providing an asset-light business with forward-leaning technology is unchanged and we will continue to focus on increasing profitability in whatever market we are faced with.”

Operating Results

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported revenues of $138.2 million, gross profit of $16.1 million and adjusted gross profit^B of $24.7 million. During the third quarter, the Company generated ROIC of (14.7)% and adjusted ROIC^C of 3.9%.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported general and administrative (“G&A”) expense of $12.4 million. Depreciation and amortization expense (“D&A”) in the third quarter of 2024 was $9.0 million.

The Company’s tax provision was approximately $0.4 million year to date. The provision for 2024 is the result of the Company’s tax position in state and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported net cash used in operating activities of $(5.9) million. Capital expenditures totaled $3.6 million during the third quarter of 2024 and totaled $11.7 million for the full year through September 30, 2024. The Company’s full-year 2024 capex guidance is $10 to $15 million.

As of September 30, 2024, Nine’s cash and cash equivalents were $15.7 million, and the Company had $27.6 million of availability under the revolving credit facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $43.3 million as of September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company had $50.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. On October 10, 2024, the Company repaid $3.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As per the terms of the indenture governing Nine’s senior secured notes, the Company is required to periodically offer to repurchase such notes with a portion of any Excess Cash Flow. Nine did not generate any Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the indenture, in the most recently ended two fiscal quarters (the six-month period ended September 30, 2024). As a result, no Excess Cash Flow offer will be made to noteholders this month.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program, which generated approximately $1.4 million in net proceeds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a total of approximately 5.4 million shares have been sold, which generated net proceeds of $8.2 million.

See the definition of Excess Cash Flow included in the Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 1, 2023

^AAdjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (which is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization) further adjusted for (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) fees and expenses relating to our units offering and other refinancing activities, (iv) loss or gain on revaluation of contingent liabilities, (v) loss or gain on the extinguishment of debt, (vi) loss or gain on the sale of subsidiaries, (vii) restructuring charges, (viii) stock-based compensation and cash award expense, (ix) loss or gain on sale of property and equipment, and (x) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business, such as legal expenses and settlement costs related to litigation outside the ordinary course of business. Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows us and them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure and helps identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of impairments, acquisitions and dispositions and costs that are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business.

^BAdjusted gross profit (loss) is defined as revenues less cost of revenues excluding depreciation and amortization. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit (loss) because we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization, which represent non-cash expenses. Our management believes adjusted gross profit (loss) provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operation and helps management evaluate our operating performance by eliminating the impact of depreciation and amortization, which we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.

^CAdjusted return on invested capital (“adjusted ROIC”) is defined as adjusted after-tax net operating profit (loss), divided by average total capital. We define adjusted after-tax net operating profit (loss), which is a non-GAAP measure, as net income (loss) plus (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) fees and expenses relating to our units offering and other refinancing activities, (iv) interest expense (income), (v) restructuring charges, (vi) loss (gain) on the sale of subsidiaries, (vii) loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, and (viii) the provision (benefit) for deferred income taxes. We define total capital as book value of equity (deficit) plus the book value of debt less balance sheet cash and cash equivalents. We compute and use the average of the current and prior period-end total capital in determining adjusted ROIC. Management believes adjusted ROIC provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it quantifies how well we generate operating income relative to the capital we have invested in our business and illustrates the profitability of a business or project taking into account the capital invested, and management uses adjusted ROIC to assist them in capital resource allocation decisions and in evaluating business performance.
