Services Inc. (NYSE: QES) ("QES" or the "Company") today reported

loss of $7.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2
million

cash flow
- Paid down $12.0 million of debt

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Fourth quarter 2019 revenue was $95.9
million, down 20.8% from $121.1
million in the third quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter 2019
net loss was $7.9 million and
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million,
compared to a net loss of $47.4
million and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.7
million for the third quarter of 2019, and a net loss of
$1.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of
$13.9 million in the fourth quarter
of 2018. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this
release for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation
to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP").
Chris Baker, QES' President and
Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased that our fourth
quarter Directional Drilling Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
margins came in at all-time highs since becoming a public company,
despite experiencing a sizable drop in revenue both sequentially
and year-over-year. We also experienced all-time lows in standby
days during the quarter, which equated to a higher percentage of
operating days. We generated over $14.1
million in free cash flow during the fourth quarter in the
face of deteriorating conditions and constrained customer spending.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2020, our Completion and
Production segment activated a second hydraulic fracturing spread
and both hydraulic fracturing spreads are in service and highly
utilized.
"Looking forward, we are not expecting meaningful activity
improvements in 2020 over 2019 levels and believe the market will
continue to be challenging. We remain alert and ready to respond to
negative economic impacts created by potential coronavirus
outbreaks in areas we service or to the broader market.
Nonetheless, we remain optimistic about our ability to successfully
navigate a difficult environment due to meaningful progress we've
made in optimizing our cost structure, streamlining the
organization, and adapting to adverse market conditions.
Throughout the coming year, we will continue to critically evaluate
our cost structure and focus on driving improved returns. We
believe we have the right people, the right strategy and the right
assets to weather these difficult times and emerge stronger when
the market recovers," concluded Baker.
Directional Drilling
The Directional Drilling segment provides the highly-technical
and essential services of guiding horizontal and directional
drilling operations for exploration and production ("E&P")
companies. Revenue was $54.6 million
in the fourth quarter of 2019, down approximately 4.4% compared to
revenue of $57.1 million in the third
quarter of 2019 and down 9.6% from the fourth quarter of 2018.
Fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7
million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2019. The
sequential decrease in revenue was primarily due to a 10.4%
decrease in rig days while the sequential increase in Adjusted
EBITDA was primarily due to higher demand for premium service
tools, fewer standby days as a percentage of total days and lower
direct operating expenses driven by lower overall job costs per day
during the three months ended December 31,
2019. In the fourth quarter of 2018, revenue was
$60.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was
$9.4 million.
Pressure Pumping
The Pressure Pumping segment primarily provides hydraulic
fracturing services to E&P companies in the Mid-Con, Permian
Basin and the Rockies. Revenue for the segment decreased to
$10.2 million in the fourth quarter
of 2019, down from $27.3 million in
the third quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted
EBITDA loss was $3.5 million,
compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2
million for the third quarter of 2019. This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease in demand for completions
activities in our areas of operation, which led to our stacking of
three hydraulic fracturing fleets in 2019. During the fourth
quarter of 2019 we had one active hydraulic fracturing fleet in
service as opposed to four hydraulic fracturing fleets in service
during the fourth quarter of 2018. This drove a corresponding 37.9%
decrease in stages to 2,598 for the year ended December 31, 2019.The sequential decreases in
revenue were primarily due to a 66.4% decrease in stages completed
during the fourth quarter of 2019, offset by a corresponding 7.0%
increase in average revenue per stage to $37,801 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 driven by a shift in job mix.
Cost structure optimization improvements realized during the third
quarter of 2019 continue to positively impact Adjusted EBITDA. In
the fourth quarter of 2018, revenue was $54.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA was
$4.1 million.
Pressure Control
The Pressure Control segment consists of coiled tubing,
rig-assisted snubbing, nitrogen, fluid pumping and well control
services. Revenue for the segment decreased 13.1% to $23.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, down
from $26.8 million in the third
quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was
$2.5 million, compared to Adjusted
EBITDA of $3.7 million for the third
quarter of 2019. The Pressure Control revenue decrease during the
fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue
days for coiled tubing and snubbing services driven by broad market
slowdown in completions activity. Additionally we experienced a
record quarter in our well control business which partially offset
the slowdown in completions activity. The small sequential decrease
in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a 13.1% decrease in
revenue, offset by a decrease in direct operating expenses driven
by results realized from recent cost reduction initiatives during
the fourth quarter of 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2018, revenue
was $31.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA
was $4.7 million.
Wireline
The Wireline segment primarily provides cased-hole wireline
services to E&P companies. Revenue for the segment decreased
21.2% to $7.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2019 from $9.9 million in
the third quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was
a $0.8 million loss, compared to an
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million
for the third quarter of 2019. The sequential decreases in revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to decreased utilization,
pricing pressures and fewer revenue days compared to the third
quarter of 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2018, revenue was
$13.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA was
a $1.3 million loss.
Other Financial Information
General and administrative ("G&A") expense for the fourth
quarter of 2019 increased to $13.5
million compared to the third quarter's G&A expense of
$12.1 million, and decreased by
$0.3 million, compared to
$13.8 million for the fourth quarter
of 2018. The sequential increase in G&A expense compared to the
third quarter was primarily driven by higher labor and stock based
compensation costs in the fourth quarter, offset by lower sales and
marketing expenses in the current quarter. The year over year
decrease in G&A expenses was the result of cost savings
associated with the continued optimization of our cost structure
and lower non-cash stock based compensation expense during the
fourth quarter of 2019.
Capital expenditures totaled $6.2
million during the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to
capital expenditures of $7.6 million
in the third quarter of 2019, and $11.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Capital spending
during the third and fourth quarter of 2019 was driven primarily by
maintenance capital expenditures across all segments.
Fourth quarter interest expense of $0.8
million was consistent with the third quarter's interest
expense, and up from $0.6 million in
the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter interest expense
increase over the prior year period was primarily due to a higher
debt outstanding balance during the fourth quarter of 2019.
The Company's balance sheet remains a significant strength and a
key differentiator versus our peers. QES ended the fourth quarter
of 2019 with a total debt balance of $21.0
million, $14.7 million of cash
on hand, and $37.7 million of net
availability under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit
facility. The Company reduced its debt balance by
$12.0 million during the three months
ended December 31, 2019.
2020 Completion and Production Segment Consolidation
The restructuring of our business segments should be completed
by mid-2020 and is expected to yield annual cost savings of four to
six million dollars once personnel,
systems and facility migrations are fully implemented. This range
of expected savings is up from our previously released range of
three to five million due to increased efficiencies being
identified as we've begun to implement changes.
Share Repurchase Plan
On August 8, 2018, QES' Board of
Directors approved a $6.0 million
stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase
common stock in the open market. The timing and amount of stock
repurchases will depend on market conditions and corporate,
regulatory and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be
commenced or suspended at any time without notice. The program does
not obligate QES to purchase any particular number of shares of
common stock during any period or at all, and the program may be
modified or suspended at any time, subject to the Company's insider
trading policy, at the Company's discretion. As of
December 31, 2019, 0.9 million shares were repurchased under
this program.

industry; the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas
industry, which impacts the level of exploration, production and
development activity and spending patterns by E&P companies; a
decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and gas
commodity prices, which generally leads to decreased spending by
our customers and negatively impacts drilling, completion and
production activity; and other risks and uncertainties listed in
our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
including our Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to
time, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial
measure that is used by management and external users of our
financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders
and rating agencies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as
determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or
(loss) plus income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, impairment charges, net (gain) or loss on disposition
of assets, stock based compensation, transaction expenses,
rebranding expenses, settlement expenses, severance expenses,
restructuring expenses, impairment expenses and equipment
stand-up expense.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us 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. We exclude the items
listed above in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts
can vary substantially from company to company within our industry
depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets,
capital structures and the method by which the assets were
acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined
in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating
performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted
EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a
company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of
capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of
depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted
EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable
to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated:
