Greene’s is a leading provider of wellhead protection, flowback and well testing services.

See Note 3 - Business Combinations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2023 or for any future period. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. This ASU provides guidance for the valuation of spring-loaded stock-based compensation awards. We have adopted ASU 2023-03 effective immediately. The changes in the guidance are currently not applicable to our calculation of stock-based compensation awards, but we continue to evaluate and will comply with the updated guidance for any stock-based compensation awards, where it might be applicable.

NOTE 3 - Business Combinations

On March 8, 2023, KLXE acquired all of the equity interests of Greene’s, in an all-stock transaction, including $1.7 in cash, which was subsequently adjusted to $1.1. The total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the issuance of approximately 2.4 million shares of KLXE common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to customary post-closing adjustments, with an implied enterprise value of approximately $30.3 based on a 30-day volume weighted average price as of March 7, 2023 and less acquired cash. Following the closing of the transaction, former shareholders of Greene’s held approximately 14.7% of the fully diluted Common Stock of the Company, as of March 8, 2023. As of the date of this filing, the integration is complete.

This transaction was accounted for as a purchase under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The results of operations for the acquisition are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the respective date of acquisition.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, we allocate the fair value of purchase consideration transferred to the tangible assets and intangible assets acquired, if any, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. The fair values assigned, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants, are based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, exceeds the purchase consideration, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. This has been presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

The fair values assigned to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in relation to the Company’s acquisition have been prepared on a preliminary basis with information currently available and are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize its analysis by the first quarter of 2024. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805:


	Greene's
Cash(1)	$	1.1
Accounts receivable-trade	17.1

Other current and non-current assets	0.2
Property and equipment	23.1


Accounts payable	(3.2)
Accrued liabilities	(1.2)

Bargain purchase(2)	(1.9)
Total purchase price(3)	$	34.0

(1)Net of working capital adjustment of $0.6

(2)Net of deferred taxes

(3)The total consideration of the acquisition was approximately $34.0, which was comprised of 2.4 million shares of the Company's Common Stock.

On a net basis, after taking into consideration unamortized debt issuance costs for the Senior Secured Notes, total debt related to the Senior Secured Notes as of September 30, 2023 was $234.1. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 11.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1. Accrued interest related to the Senior Secured Notes was $11.4 as of September 30, 2023.

On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the ABL Facility, with certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, as guarantors, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and an issuing lender, and the other lenders and issuing lenders party thereto from time to time (the “ABL Amendment”).

The ABL Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the ABL Facility from September 15, 2024 to the earlier of (A) September 15, 2025 or (B) August 1, 2025, if the Company's Senior Secured Notes are still outstanding as of such date (the earlier of the foregoing item (A) or item (B), the “ABL Maturity Date”) and (ii) increases the revolving credit commitment from $100.0 to $120.0.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a $120.0 asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to a senior secured credit agreement dated August 10, 2018, as amended by the ABL Amendment and other amendments (the “ABL Facility”). The ABL Facility matures on the ABL Maturity Date in 2025.

The ABL Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula and has no maintenance financial covenants as long as the minimum level of borrowing availability is maintained. The ABL Facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority lien on the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory and contains customary conditions precedent to borrowing and affirmative and negative covenants.

Borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility were $50.0 as of September 30, 2023 and bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin (as defined in the ABL Facility). The effective interest rate under the ABL Facility was approximately 7.9% on September 30, 2023. Total letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility were $5.6 both at September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022. Accrued interest under the ABL Facility was $0.1 as of September 30, 2023.

We have funds available under the ABL Facility of $64.4 on the September 2023 borrowing base certificate.

NOTE 7 - Fair Value Information

NOTE 8 - Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

Environmental Regulations & Liabilities

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for the protection of the environment. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. However, the Company cannot predict the future impact of such laws and regulations, as well as standards and requirements, on our business, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations or liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statement position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the future to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.

Litigation

The Company is at times either a plaintiff or a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

During its ordinary course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, as well as indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. Many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.

NOTE 9 - Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)

Equity Distribution Agreement

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. as sales agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”) the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0. On November 16, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA Amendment”). Among other things, the EDA Amendment allows for debt-for-equity exchanges in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Under the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company will pay the Agent a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Common Stock sold.

Table of Contents

The Company plans to use any net proceeds from the ATM Offering, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and the Company’s offering expenses, for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, paying or refinancing all or a portion of the Company’s then-outstanding indebtedness, and funding acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not sell any shares of Common Stock and incurred legal and administrative fees of $0.3 and $0.4, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold 241,551 and 1,826,199 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 and $10.1, respectively, and incurred legal and administrative fees of $0.1 and $0.2, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) under which the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other forms of equity-based or equity-related awards. Compensation cost for the LTIP grants is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting term of the shares based on the grant date value using the closing trading price.

On May 10, 2023, the stockholders of KLXE approved the Second Amended and Restated KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 8, 2023) (the “Amended and Restated LTIP”), which, among other things, increased the total number of shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for issuance by 1,200,000 shares, resulting in an increase of the total number of shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance to 1,256,289, and extended the expiration date to March 8, 2033. A description of the Amended and Restated LTIP is included in the Company’s proxy statement, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.

Compensation cost recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was related to grants of restricted stock as approved by the Compensation Committee. Stock-based compensation was $0.8 and $0.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.3 and $2.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards made by the Company was $4.2 at September 30, 2023 and $4.2 at December 31, 2022.

NOTE 10 - Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $0.3 and $0.2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and was comprised primarily of state and local taxes, offset by a deferred tax benefit recognized from a reduction in the valuation allowance related to the Greene's acquisition. Comparatively, income tax expense was $0.3 and $0.6 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and was comprised primarily of state and local taxes. The Company was unable to recognize any federal tax expense on its year-to-date income primarily due to having a valuation allowance against its deferred tax balances.

The Company continues to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others.

NOTE 11 - Segment Reporting

The Company is organized on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable segments, which are also its operating segments, are comprised of the Rocky Mountains Region (the Bakken, Williston, DJ, Uinta, Powder River, Piceance and Niobrara basins), the Southwest Region (the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale) and the Northeast/Mid-Con Region (the Marcellus and Utica Shale as well as the Mid-Continent STACK and SCOOP and Haynesville Shale). The segments regularly report their results of operations and make requests

Table of Contents

for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company's chief operational decision-making group. As a result, the Company has three reportable segments.

The following table presents revenues and operating income (loss) by reportable segment:

NOTE 12 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by using the weighted average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of restricted shares based on an average share price during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 0.0 and 0.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 0.0 and 0.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively, were excluded from the determination of diluted net income (loss) per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022

Company History

KLX Energy Services was initially formed from the combination of several private oilfield service companies beginning in 2013, followed by its initial public offering in 2018, and ultimately by merging in July 2020 with its publicly traded peer Quintana Energy Services Inc. (“QES”). Today, KLXE is strategically positioned to serve a blue-chip customer base across the onshore oil and gas basins in the United States and continues to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

On March 8, 2023, KLXE acquired all of the equity interests of Greene’s Energy Group, LLC (“Greene’s”), in an all-stock transaction, including $1.7 in cash, which was subsequently adjusted to $1.1. As of the date of this filing, the integration is complete, and the Company fully implemented approximately $3.0 in annual cost synergies. See Note 3 - Business Combinations.

Looking ahead, the Company expects to continue to pursue opportunistic, strategic, accretive acquisitions that would be expected to further strengthen the Company’s competitive positioning and capital structure, drive efficiencies, accelerate growth and create long‑term stockholder value.

Company Overview

We serve many of the leading companies engaged in the exploration and development of onshore conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the United States. Our customers are primarily large independent and major oil and gas companies. We currently support these customer operations from over 50 service facilities located in the key major shale basins. We operate in three segments on a geographic basis, including the Rocky Mountains Region (the Bakken, Williston, DJ, Uinta, Powder River, Piceance and Niobrara basins), the Southwest Region (the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale and the Gulf Coast as well as in industrial and petrochemical facilities) and the Northeast/Mid-Con Region (the Marcellus and Utica Shale as well as the Mid-Continent STACK and SCOOP and Haynesville Shale). Our revenues, operating earnings and identifiable assets are primarily attributable to these three reportable geographic segments. While we manage our business based upon these geographic groupings, our assets and our technical personnel are deployed on a dynamic basis across all of our service facilities to optimize utilization and profitability.

These expansive operating areas provide us with access to a number of nearby unconventional crude oil and natural gas basins, both with existing customers expanding their production footprint and third parties acquiring new acreage. Our proximity to existing and prospective customer activities allows us to anticipate and respond quickly to such customers’ needs and efficiently deploy our assets. We believe that our strategic geographic positioning will benefit us as activity increases in our core operating areas. Our broad geographic footprint provides us with exposure to the ongoing recovery in drilling, completion, production and intervention

Table of Contents

related service activity and will allow us to opportunistically pursue new business in basins with active drilling environments.

We work with our customers to provide engineered solutions across the lifecycle of the well by streamlining operations, reducing non-productive time and developing cost effective solutions and customized tools for our customers’ challenging service needs, including their technically complex extended reach horizontal wells. We believe future revenue growth opportunities will continue to be driven by increases in the number of new customers served and the breadth of services we offer to existing and prospective customers.

We offer a variety of targeted services that are differentiated by the technical competence and experience of our field service engineers and their deployment of a broad portfolio of specialized tools and proprietary equipment. Our innovative and adaptive approach to proprietary tool design has been employed by our in-house research and development (“R&D”) organization and, in selected instances, by our technology partners to develop tools covered by 36 patents and 9 pending patent applications, which we believe differentiate us from our regional competitors and allow us to deliver more focused service and better outcomes in our specialized services than larger national competitors that do not discretely dedicate their resources to the services we provide.

We utilize contract manufacturers to produce our products which, in many cases, our engineers have developed from input and requests from our customers and customer-facing managers, thereby maintaining the integrity of our intellectual property while avoiding manufacturing startup and maintenance costs. This approach leverages our technical strengths, as well as those of our technology partners. These services and related products are modest in cost to the customer relative to other well construction expenditures but have a high cost of failure and are, therefore, critical to our customers’ outcomes. We believe our customers have come to depend on our decades of field experience to execute on some of the most challenging problems they face. We believe we are well positioned as a company to service customers when they are drilling and completing complex wells, and remediating both newer and older legacy wells.

We invest in innovative technology and equipment designed for modern production techniques that increase efficiencies and production for our customers. North American unconventional onshore wells are increasingly characterized by extended lateral lengths, tighter spacing between hydraulic fracturing stages, increased cluster density and heightened proppant loads. Drilling and completion activities for wells in unconventional resource plays are extremely complex, and downhole challenges and operating costs increase as the complexity and lateral length of these wells increase. For these reasons, E&P companies with complex wells increasingly prefer service providers with the scale and resources to deliver best-in-class solutions that evolve in real-time with the technology used for extraction. We believe we offer best-in-class service execution at the wellsite and innovative downhole technologies, positioning us to benefit from our ability to service technically complex wells where the potential for increased operating leverage is high due to the large number of stages per well.

We endeavor to create a next generation oilfield services company in terms of management controls, processes and operating metrics, and have driven these processes down through the operating management structure in every region, which we believe differentiates us from many of our competitors. This allows us to offer our customers in all of our geographic regions discrete, comprehensive and differentiated services that leverage both the technical expertise of our skilled engineers and our in-house R&D team.

Recent Trends and Outlook

Demand for services in the oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and subject to sudden and significant volatility. Over the last year, market demand for our services has been experiencing a recovery from the lows of the last three years that were heavily impacted by COVID-19. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has contributed to a growing price resurgence for crude oil and was a major factor behind the increased demand for drilling, completion and production activities in 2022 and early 2023. However, recent inflation has put pressure on and is expected to continue to negatively impact global demand.

Table of Contents

Although West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) average prices decreased by 11.2% during the first two quarters of 2023, WTI average prices increased by 11.8% during the third quarter and have remained elevated in response to current events such as supplier production cuts and the recent conflict in Israel. On the domestic production side, as an initial response to the rising oil prices in 2022 and as a response to the energy crisis resulting from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the United States has continued to increase drilling and completion activity levels, although the United States has moderated the pace of increase through 2023. As of September 30, 2023, U.S. rig count was 623, a decrease of 20.0% since December 31, 2022, according to a report from Baker Hughes.

As noted above, commodity prices have recently declined slightly from the highs experienced in the prior year and the demand for commodities could decline further due to, among other things, uncertainty and volatility arising from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, release of sanctions on Russia, increasing inflation and government efforts to reduce inflation, speculation as to future actions by OPEC+, higher gas prices, or possible changes in the overall health of the global economy, including a prolonged recession. Although current forward strip for commodity prices indicate expectations of relatively high commodity prices over the next twelve months or longer, the current commodity price environment remains uncertain and the extent to which commodity prices and our operating and financial results of future periods will be impacted by the above-mentioned factors will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

There has been significant inflation across the cost of goods and services in 2023. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Producer Price Index as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics increased by 1.8%, which is by far the highest quarterly increase in a year. Accordingly, we have continued to experience higher costs for goods used in providing services to our customers. In addition, we face increased competition for labor, as turnover in the industry is still fairly high. We are spending more to attract and retain employees in the field, especially as we plan for continued growth for the remainder of this fiscal year. At the same time, we have seen increased demand for our services, which has allowed us to implement price increases with our customers across all regions to offset these higher costs.

The Company remains focused on providing the highest level of customer service across our regions and different service offerings, which has allowed us to make meaningful positive impacts to our revenue, operating margins, cash flows and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below). We are taking steps to hire essential personnel and increase capital expenditures as activity rebounds, but we are measured in our growth and focused on returns.

We believe our diverse product and service offerings uniquely position KLXE to respond to a rapidly evolving marketplace where we can provide a comprehensive suite of engineered solutions for our customers with one call and one master services agreement.

How We Generate Revenue and the Costs of Conducting Our Business

Our business strategy seeks to generate attractive returns on capital by providing differentiated services and prudently applying our cash flow to select targeted opportunities, with the potential to deliver high returns that we believe offer superior margins over the long-term and short payback periods. As part of our returns-focused approach to capital spending, we are focused on efficiently utilizing capital to develop new products. We support our existing asset base with targeted investments in R&D, which we believe allows us to maintain a technical advantage over our competitors providing similar services using standard equipment.

Demand for services in the oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and subject to sudden and significant volatility. We remain focused on serving the needs of our customers by providing a broad portfolio of product service lines across major basins, while preserving a solid balance sheet, maintaining sufficient operating liquidity and prudently managing our capital expenditures.

We believe we have strong management systems in place, which will allow us to manage our operating resources and associated expenses relative to market conditions. The required investment in our business

includes both working capital (principally for accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable growth tied to increasing activity and revenues) and capital expenditures for both maintenance of existing assets and ultimately growth when economic returns justify the spending. Our required maintenance capital expenditures tend to be lower than other oilfield service providers due to the asset-light nature of some of our services, the lower average age of our assets and our ability to charge back a portion of asset maintenance to customers for a number of our assets.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue. The following is a summary of revenue by segment and product line for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		% Change
Revenue:
Rocky Mountains	$	77.0	$	66.5	15.8	%
Southwest	77.8		68.5		13.6	%
Northeast/Mid-Con	65.8		86.6		(24.0)	%
Total revenue	$	220.6	$	221.6	(0.5)	%

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, revenues were $220.6, a decrease of $(1.0), or (0.5)%, as compared with the prior year period. The slight decrease in revenues reflects a slowdown in activity in the Northeast/Mid-Con, offset by increases in the Rocky Mountains and Southwest segments. This decrease was driven entirely by a decrease in weighted average volume. On a segment basis, Rocky Mountains segment revenue increased by $10.5 or 15.8%, which was driven entirely by increased weighted average price. Southwest segment revenue increased by $9.3 or 13.6%, which was driven entirely by increased weighted average volume. Northeast/Mid-Con segment revenue decreased by $(20.8) or (24.0)%. Decreased weighted average price contributed to approximately 21% of the dollar decrease, and decreased weighted average volume contributed to the remaining approximately 79%.

Cost of sales. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, cost of sales were $166.2, or 75.3% of sales, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $168.8, or 76.2% of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased due to both improvement in pricing and decreased cost of labor during the quarter. The two largest components of cost of sales are labor and repair and maintenance. As cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased, labor costs per employee decreased by 6.4% as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022. Repair and maintenance costs as a percentage of revenues increased by 1.7% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, SG&A expenses were $18.6, or 8.4% of revenues, as compared with $18.0, or 8.1% of revenues, in the prior year period. The increase in percentage of revenues and dollar amount is due to professional and administrative fees, increased headcount as well as other costs related to the Greene's acquisition along with general market inflation in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Operating income (loss). The following is a summary of operating income (loss) by segment:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		% Change
Operating income (loss):
Rocky Mountains	$	17.7	$	11.7	51.3	%
Southwest	4.8		5.2		(7.7)	%
Northeast/Mid-Con	5.2		17.2		(69.8)	%
Corporate and other	(11.3)		(13.7)		17.5	%
Total operating income	$	16.4	$	20.4	(19.6)	%

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, operating income was $16.4 compared to $20.4 in the prior year period, due to improvements in activity and pricing.

The Rocky Mountains segment's operating results improved significantly compared to the prior year period. Rocky Mountains segment operating income was $17.7, Southwest segment operating income was $4.8, and Northeast/Mid-Con segment operating income was $5.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The driving factor for the improvement in the Rocky Mountains was higher pricing and activity during the period. The driving factor for the lower operating income is higher costs in the Southwest and lower activity in the Northeast/Mid-Con. Note that operating loss for Corporate and other decreased due to higher efficiencies in the current year.

Income tax expense. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense was $0.3, as compared to income tax expense of $0.3 in the prior year period, and was comprised of state and local taxes. The Company did not recognize federal tax expense on its quarter-to-date income primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax balances.

Net income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net income was $7.6, as compared to net income of $11.1 in the prior year period, decreasing primarily as a result of lower operating income as discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue. The following is a summary of revenue by segment and product line for the periods indicated:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		% Change
Revenue:
Rocky Mountains	$	211.3	$	162.9	29.7	%
Southwest	237.5		180.4		31.7	%
Northeast/Mid-Con	245.4		215.0		14.1	%
Total revenue	$	694.2	$	558.3	24.3	%

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues were $694.2, an increase of $135.9, or 24.3%, as compared with the prior year period. The overall increase in revenues reflects the recovery in economic activity during the year, leading to increased demand for our services and a positive pricing environment. Increased weighted average price contributed to approximately 94% of the $135.9 increase, and increased weighted average volume contributed to the remaining approximately 6%. On a segment basis, Rocky Mountains segment revenue increased by $48.4 or 29.7%. Increased weighted average price contributed to approximately 80% of the dollar increase, and increased weighted average volume contributed to the remaining approximately 20%. Southwest segment revenue increased by $57.1 or 31.7%. Increased weighted average price contributed to approximately 85% of the dollar increase, and increased weighted average volume contributed to the remaining approximately 15%. Northeast/Mid-Con segment revenue increased by $30.4 or 14.1%. Increased weighted average price contributed to approximately 65% of the dollar increase, and increased weighted average volume contributed to the remaining approximately 35%.

Cost of sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of sales were $520.4, or 75.0% of sales, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $454.7, or 81.4% of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to improvement in pricing that outpaced the increasing cost of labor during the period. The two largest components of cost of sales are labor and repair and maintenance. Although cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased, labor costs per employee increased by 6.3% as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Repair and maintenance costs as a percentage of revenues decreased by 2.6% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, SG&A expenses were $66.8, or 9.6% of revenues, as compared with $51.0, or 9.1% of revenues, in the prior year period. The increase in percentage of revenues and dollar amount is due to professional and administrative fees, increased headcount as well as other costs related to the Greene's acquisition along with general market inflation in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Total operating income	$	54.9	$	10.3	433.0	%

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating income was $54.9 compared to operating income of $10.3 in the prior year period, due to improvements in activity and pricing.

Each operating segment's operating results improved significantly compared to the prior year period. Rocky Mountains segment operating income was $39.4, Southwest segment operating income was $17.7, and Northeast/Mid-Con segment operating income was $36.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The driving factor for the improvement in each case was higher pricing and activity during the period. Note that operating loss for Corporate and other increased due to non-recurring costs related to the Greene's acquisition.

Income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense was $0.2, as compared to income tax expense of $0.6 in the prior year period, and was comprised of state and local taxes, offset by a deferred tax benefit recognized from the reduction in the valuation allowance. The Company did not recognize federal tax expense on its year-to-date income primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax balances.

Net income (loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income was $28.4, as compared to net loss of $16.3 in the prior year period, increasing primarily as a result of improving operating income as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives, debt service obligations, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been capital contributions from our equity and note holders, borrowings under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility, as amended by the ABL Amendment (as defined below) and other amendments (the “ABL Facility”) and cash flows from operations. At September 30, 2023, we had $90.4 of cash and cash equivalents and $64.4 available on the September 2023 ABL Facility Borrowing Base Certificate, which resulted in liquidity of $154.8.

Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations consist primarily of obligations for long-term debt and related interest as well as leases for property and equipment and purchase obligations as part of normal operations. See below “— ABL Facility” and “— Senior Secured Notes” for information regarding scheduled maturities of our long-term debt. See “Note 7 - Leases” of Item 8 in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023 for information regarding scheduled maturities of our operating and financing leases.

Table of Contents

We have taken several actions to continue to improve our liquidity position. Despite ongoing volatility in commodity prices and increased inflation, continued higher oil prices over 2022 and 2023 relative to those over 2020 and 2021 have resulted in an increase in demand for our services and an improvement in our operating cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We believe based on our current forecasts, our cash on hand, continued draws under the ABL Facility, together with our cash flows, will provide us with the ability to fund our operations, including planned capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months. Based on current trends, we believe that our liquidity beyond the next twelve months will increase as our operational results continue to improve. However, we are unable to quantify or guarantee this increase, and there can be no certainty that current trends will continue and that our liquidity and financial position will continue to improve.

As of September 30, 2023, we had total outstanding long-term indebtedness of $284.1 under our ABL Facility and Senior Secured Notes as described in greater detail under “— ABL Facility” and “—Senior Secured Notes” below. Our ability to pay the principal and interest on our long-term debt and to satisfy our other liabilities will depend on our future operating performance and ability to refinance our debt as it becomes due. Our future operating performance and ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements and refinance such indebtedness will be affected by prevailing economic and political conditions, the level of drilling, completion, production and intervention services activity for North American onshore oil and natural gas resources and related pricing for our services, increasing inflation and government efforts to reduce inflation, the willingness of capital providers to lend to our industry, and other financial and business factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Our ABL Facility matures on the ABL Maturity Date (as defined below) in 2025 and our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) mature in 2025. Our ability to refinance or restructure our debt will depend on the condition of the public and private debt markets and our financial condition at such time, among other things. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with covenants, which could further restrict our business operations.

A rising interest rate environment could have an adverse impact on the price of our shares, or our ability to issue equity or incur debt to refinance our existing indebtedness, for acquisitions or other purposes. In addition, incurring additional debt in excess of our existing outstanding indebtedness would result in increased interest expense and financial leverage, and issuing Common Stock may result in dilution to our current stockholders.

Subject to market conditions, our contractual restrictions and other factors, we have and may continue to explore various alternatives to recapitalize, refinance or otherwise restructure our capital structure. We may accomplish this through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, which may include, among other things, a mix of refinancings, private or public equity or debt raises and rights offerings, retirement or repurchases of our outstanding Senior Secured Notes, debt-for-debt or debt-for-equity exchanges or conversions that if successful could result in the dilution of ownership by existing stockholders. Some of these alternatives may require the consent of current lenders, stockholders or noteholders and the amounts involved may be material.

ABL Facility

We entered into a $100.0 ABL Facility on August 10, 2018. The ABL Facility became effective on September 14, 2018 and, prior to the effectiveness of the ABL Amendment (as defined below), was scheduled to mature in September 2024. $50.0 was outstanding under the ABL Facility as of September 30, 2023. The effective interest rate under the ABL Facility was approximately 7.9% on September 30, 2023.

Senior Secured Notes

In conjunction with the acquisition of Motley in 2018, we issued $250.0 principal amount of 11.5% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) offered pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”) and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. On a net basis, after taking into consideration the debt issuance costs for the Senior Secured Notes, total debt related to the Senior Secured Notes as of September 30, 2023 was $234.1. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 11.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 and mature in 2025. Accrued interest related to the Senior Secured Notes was $11.4 as of September 30, 2023.

The indenture also contains customary events of default including, among other things, the failure to pay interest for 30 days, failure to pay principal when due, failure to observe or perform any other covenants or agreement in the indenture subject to grace periods, cross-acceleration to indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50.0, material impairment of liens, failure to pay certain material judgments and certain events of bankruptcy.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

In the normal course of our business, we make certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. Many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to our indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. Our management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to our financial statements. Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.

We have employment agreements with certain key members of management expiring on various dates. Our employment agreements generally provide for certain protections in the event of a change of control. These protections generally include the payment of severance and related benefits under certain circumstances in the event of a change in control.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $44.3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $26.1 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Based on current industry conditions and our significant investments in capital expenditures over the past several years, we expect to incur between $45.0 and $55.0 in total capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2023, out of which $35.0 to $45.0 will be attributable to maintenance capital spending. The nature of our capital expenditures is comprised of a base level of investment required to support our current operations and amounts related to growth and Company initiatives. Capital expenditures for growth and Company initiatives are discretionary. We continually evaluate our capital expenditures, and the amount we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors, including expected industry activity levels and Company initiatives.

Equity Distribution Agreement

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offering, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and the Company’s offering expenses, for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, paying or refinancing all or a portion of the Company’s then-outstanding indebtedness, and funding acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not sell any shares of Common Stock and incurred legal and administrative fees of $0.3 and $0.4, respectively.

Cash Flows

Our liquidity requirements consist of working capital needs, debt service obligations and ongoing capital expenditure requirements. Our primary requirements for working capital are directly related to the activity level of our operations. Our operating cash flows are sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which are utilization and profitability, the timing of billing and customer collections, payments to our vendors, repair and maintenance costs and personnel, any of which may affect our available cash. Additionally, should our customers experience financial distress for any reason, they could default on their payments owed to us, which would affect our cash flows and liquidity.

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods presented below:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	77.0	$	3.9
Net cash flows used in investing activities	(29.9)		(14.3)
Net cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities	(14.1)		23.8
Net change in cash	33.0		13.4
Cash balance end of period	$	90.4	$	41.4

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in operating cash flows was attributable to increased profitability and management of working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities was $29.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $14.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cash flows used in investing activities were primarily driven by maintenance capital spending tied to the operation of our existing asset base offset by proceeds from lost in hole and sales of real property, trucks and other assets.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $14.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $23.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no additional borrowings under our ABL Facility and no sales under our ATM program.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our financial statements. Other than the critical accounting policy included below, we believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.

Business Combinations

We completed our acquisition of Greene’s on March 8, 2023. Greene’s results of operations have been included in our financial results for the period subsequent to the acquisition date.

When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to bargain purchase gain if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We continue to evaluate any recently issued accounting pronouncements for future adoption. As an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), we are offered an opportunity to use an extended transition period for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards. We operate under the reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, until we are no longer an emerging growth company. Our election to use the phase-in periods permitted by this election may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the longer phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act and who will comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. If we were to subsequently elect instead to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Key Financial Performance Indicators

We recognize the highly cyclical nature of our business and the need for metrics to (1) best measure the trends in our operations and (2) provide baselines and targets to assess the performance of our managers.

The measures we believe most effective to achieve the above stated goals include:

•Revenue

•Operating income

•Adjusted Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”): 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 earnings or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and (v) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business.

•Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, as a percentage of revenue.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to supplement the GAAP measures in order to 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 (Loss) because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods, 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 (loss) earnings 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.

ITEM 4.			CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers (who are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected or, are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
