Calfrac Well Services Ltd.
(“Calfrac” or “the Company”) (TSX: CFW) announces its
financial and operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023. The following press release should be read in
conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis and
interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as at
June 30, 2023. Readers should also refer to the
“Forward-looking statements” legal advisory and the section
regarding “Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this press release. All
financial amounts and measures are expressed in Canadian dollars
unless otherwise indicated. Additional information about Calfrac is
available on the SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.com, including the
Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended
December 31, 2022.
CEO’S MESSAGECalfrac’s sound
execution on its strategy enabled the Company to generate record
second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $87.8 million and one of the best
second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA margins in its history at 18.8%.
Calfrac demonstrated its ability to prudently manage debt as it
continued to drive down its net leverage to 1.04x, which is the
lowest level in recent history, and expects to reduce borrowings by
approximately $80.0 million by the end of 2023. Even as the Company
navigated Canadian forest fires, weather delays, and customer
scheduling gaps in its North America operations, Calfrac more than
doubled Adjusted EBITDA and grew net income from continuing
operations by $57.3 million year-over-year. In addition to strong
financial results generated during the quarter, balanced near-term
profitability with its long-term vision as it deployed seven
upgraded and two new Tier IV dynamic gas blending (“DGB”)
fracturing pumps into its operations in North America. An
additional 50 upgraded Tier IV DGB units remain on schedule and are
expected to be deployed by the end of the first quarter in 2024.
Calfrac expects that steady utilization combined with rigorous cost
management across its operations in North America and Argentina
will produce improved free cash flow in 2023 and the Company
believes that using any excess free cash flow to repay debt will
provide the highest return for its shareholders.
Calfrac’s Chief Executive Officer, Pat Powell
commented: “I am proud of the Calfrac team as it executed on its
brand promise and maintained its strong safety record while
generating record second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA and one of the
highest second-quarter profit margins in its history. We are
looking forward to deploying additional upgraded Tier IV DGB pumps
through next year as we continue to make progress on our strategic
priorities.”

OUTLOOKCalfrac leveraged its
diverse geographical footprint to overcome a significant amount of
lost operating days by redeploying a fracturing fleet to an area of
increased activity as well as adjusting to uncontrollable events
during the second quarter to generate the highest second-quarter
Adjusted EBITDA in its history. Additionally, the Company was able
to successfully utilize its supply chain network and operational
expertise to set new performance records for proppant pumped in a
month. This high level of execution gives Calfrac the confidence
that it will remain a sought after service provider with sustained
activity through the second half of the year.
The pressure pumping market in North America has
transitioned from undersupplied to relatively balanced as E&P
companies have taken a cautious approach towards their capital
deployment in response to commodity price uncertainty. Despite the
recent slowdown, the Company maintains that the oilfield services
industry remains in a long duration upcycle to assist producers in
meeting the growing demand for oil and gas and believes that it is
well-positioned through its geographic diversification and strong
customer relationships to capitalize on the anticipated increase in
activity over the medium to long-term.
Calfrac is excited about its transition into a
next-generation pressure pumping company as it deploys additional
Tier IV DGB fracturing pumps and to realize their full operational
benefits and generate increased returns for its shareholders.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUERevenue from Calfrac’s
North American operations increased significantly to $376.3 million
during the second quarter of 2023 from $264.9 million in the
comparable quarter of 2022. The 42 percent increase in revenue can
be attributed to a 34 percent increase in the number of fracturing
jobs completed combined with a 7 percent period-over-period
increase in revenue per job. The increase in job count was mainly
due to the Company operating 15 fleets during the quarter with more
consistent utilization compared to an average of 13 operating
fleets in the respective quarter of 2022. The higher revenue per
job was mainly the result of job mix as most pricing increases were
implemented during the second quarter in 2022. Despite the improved
utilization relative to the comparable quarter, the second quarter
was impacted by wild fires in northeast British Columbia and
Alberta during April and May resulting in lost operating days, but
the majority of this delayed work was completed in June. Coiled
tubing revenue also increased by 35 percent as compared to the
second quarter in 2022 due to increased utilization for its six
crewed fleets.
ADJUSTED EBITDAThe Company’s
operations in North America generated Adjusted EBITDA of $75.3
million during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $42.7 million
in the same period in 2022. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA was
primarily driven by utilization as pricing remained stable and
consistent with the comparable period in 2022. The Company was able
to achieve an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20 percent compared to 16
percent in the comparable quarter in 2022 through much higher
utilization in Canada combined with slightly better margin
performance in the United States on a higher revenue base.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUERevenue from Calfrac’s
North American operations increased significantly to $789.4 million
during the first six months of 2023 from $504.9 million in the
comparable period of 2022. The 56 percent increase in revenue can
be attributed to a 26 percent increase in the number of fracturing
jobs completed combined with a 25 percent increase in revenue per
job period-over-period. The increase in job count was mainly due to
the Company operating 15 fleets during the period with more
consistent utilization compared to an average of 11.5 operating
fleets in the comparable period in 2022. The higher revenue per job
was mainly the result of job mix and improved pricing. Coiled
tubing revenue also increased by 21 percent as compared to the
first six months in 2022 due to increased utilization for its six
crewed fleets.
ADJUSTED EBITDAThe Company’s
operations in North America generated Adjusted EBITDA of $151.8
million during the first six months of 2023 compared to $64.1
million in the same period in 2022. This increase in Adjusted
EBITDA was largely driven by utilization. The Company was able to
achieve an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19 percent versus 13 percent
in the comparable period in 2022 through much higher utilization
combined with better realized pricing.

OUTLOOKThe strong profitability
generated from Calfrac’s Argentina division is expected to continue
through the end of the year as the Company anticipates solid
utilization across all service lines in the Vaca Muerta shale play
and the conventional basins of southern Argentina. Calfrac believes
that the robust demand for its services will remain and enable it
to achieve improved year-over-year financial performance.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUECalfrac’s Argentinean
operations generated revenue of $90.1 million during the second
quarter of 2023 versus $53.6 million in the comparable quarter in
2022 primarily due to higher revenue across all service lines.
Fracturing revenue increased due to a combination of client mix,
larger job sizes and higher pricing, as the Company entered into a
new contract at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 at
pricing levels that covered higher costs caused by inflationary
pressures. The Company also completed 57 percent more jobs than the
comparable period in 2022 with the majority of the increase
attributed to its operations in southern Argentina. Activity in the
Company’s cementing operations increased by 4 percent combined with
a 19 percent increase in revenue per job due to job mix. The number
of coiled tubing jobs increased by 11 percent while revenue per job
decreased by 10 percent primarily due to job mix.
ADJUSTED EBITDAThe Company’s
operations in Argentina generated Adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million
during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1.9 million in the
comparable quarter of 2022, while the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA
margins as a percentage of revenue also improved to 20 percent from
3 percent. The Company entered into a new contract for its large
fracturing fleet servicing the Vaca Muerta play at the beginning of
the third quarter of 2022 with higher utilization and improved
pricing which resulted in higher Adjusted EBITDA margins relative
to the comparable period in 2022.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUECalfrac’s Argentinean
operations generated revenue of $170.4 million during the first six
months of 2023 compared to $108.2 million in the comparable period
in 2022. Activity in the Vaca Muerta shale play continued to
increase while activity in southern Argentina also achieved
significant growth compared to the first half of 2022. Overall
fracturing activity increased by 27 percent compared to the first
six months in 2022 while revenue per job was 36 percent higher
primarily due to overall inflation in operating costs and better
pricing commencing in the second half of 2022 combined with a
stronger U.S. dollar. Revenue from the Company’s coiled tubing and
cementing service lines also continued to improve relative to the
previous year. The number of coiled tubing jobs increased by 10
percent as activity increased in Neuquén and southern Argentina
while revenue per job was 16 percent higher primarily due to job
mix and inflation. Activity in the Company’s cementing operations
increased by 12 percent and revenue per job increased by 4 percent
due to changes in job mix as a greater number of pre-fracturing
projects, which are typically larger job sizes, were completed in
the first six months in 2023.
ADJUSTED EBITDAThe Company’s
operations in Argentina generated Adjusted EBITDA of $29.3 million
during the first six months in 2023 versus $7.7 million in the
first six months in 2022 as utilization of the Company’s equipment
improved across all service lines. The Company’s operating margins
as a percentage of revenue increased significantly from 7 percent
to 17 percent primarily due to improved utilization and better
pricing in all operating areas and service lines.

information.
NON-GAAP MEASURESCertain
supplementary measures presented in this press release do not have
any standardized meaning under IFRS and, because IFRS have been
incorporated as Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), these supplementary measures are also non-GAAP measures.
These measures have been described and presented to provide
shareholders and potential investors with additional information
regarding the Company’s financial results, liquidity and ability to
generate funds to finance its operations. These measures may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other entities, and are
explained below.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss
for the period less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
foreign exchange losses (gains), non-cash stock-based compensation,
and gains and losses that are extraordinary or non-recurring.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it gives an indication of the
results from the Company’s principal business activities prior to
consideration of how its activities are financed and the impact of
foreign exchange, taxation and depreciation and amortization
charges. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was calculated as
follows:

(1) For bank covenant purposes, EBITDA includes
$11.8 million income from discontinued operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2023 (six months ended June 30, 2022 – $4.6
million loss from discontinued operations) and the deduction of an
additional $6.4 million of lease payments for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 (six months ended June 30, 2022 – $4.9 million) that
would have been recorded as operating expenses prior to the
adoption of IFRS 16.
The definition and calculation of the ratio of
net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022,
is disclosed in Note 15 to the Company’s year-end consolidated
financial statements. The definition and calculation of this ratio
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023, is disclosed in
Note 10 to the Company’s interim financial statements for the
corresponding period.

effect of the military conflict in the Ukraine and related
international sanctions and counter-sanctions and restrictions by
Russia on the Company’s ownership and planned sale of the Russian
division; industry equipment levels including the number of active
fracturing fleets marketed by the Company’s competitors and the
timing of deployment of the Company’s fleet upgrades; the Company’s
existing contracts and the status of current negotiations with key
customers and suppliers; the continued effectiveness of cost
reduction measures instituted by the Company; and the likelihood
that the current tax and regulatory regime will remain
substantially unchanged.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s
expectations. Such risk factors include but are not limited to: (A)
industry risks, including but not limited to, global economic
conditions and the level of exploration, development and production
for oil and natural gas in North America and Argentina; excess
equipment levels; impacts of conservation measures and
technological advances on the demand for the Company’s services;
hazards inherent in the industry; the actions of activist
shareholders and the increasing reluctance of institutional
investors to invest in the industry in which the Company operates;
and an intensely competitive oilfield services industry; (B)
business operations risks, including but not limited to, fleet
reinvestment risk, including the ability of the Company to finance
the capital necessary for equipment upgrades to support its
operational needs while meeting government and customer
requirements and preferences; difficulty retaining, replacing or
adding personnel; failure to improve and adapt equipment,
proprietary fluid chemistries and other products and services;
reliance on equipment suppliers and fabricators for timely delivery
and quality of equipment; a concentrated customer base; seasonal
volatility and climate change; cybersecurity risks, and activism;
(C) financial risks, including but not limited to, price escalation
and availability of raw materials, diesel fuel and component parts;
restrictions on the Company’s access to capital, including the
impacts of covenants under the Company’s lending documents; direct
and indirect exposure to volatile credit markets, including
interest rate risk; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and
increased inflation; actual results which are materially different
from management estimates and assumptions; insufficient internal
controls; and possible impacts on the Company’s access to capital
and common share price given a significant number of common shares
are controlled by two directors of the Company; (D) geopolitical
risks, including but not limited to, foreign operations exposure,
including risks relating to unsettled political conditions, war,
including the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict and any expansion
of that conflict, foreign exchange rates and controls, and
international trade and regulatory controls and sanctions; the
impacts of a delay of sale or failure to sell the Company's
discontinued operations in Russia, including failure to receive any
applicable regulatory approvals and reputational risks; foreign
legal actions and unknown consequences of such actions; and risk
associated with compliance with applicable law; (E) legal and
regulatory risks, including but not limited to, federal, provincial
and state legislative and regulatory initiatives; health, safety
and environmental laws and regulations; and legal and
administrative proceedings; and (F) environmental, social and
governance risks, including but not limited to, failure to
effectively and timely address the energy transition; legal and
regulatory initiatives to limit greenhouse gas emissions; and the
direct and indirect costs of various existing and proposed climate
change regulations. Further information about these and other risks
and uncertainties are set forth in the Company’s most recently
filed Annual Information Form under the heading “Risk Factors”
which is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.com under
