HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc. (NYSE: NEX) (“NexTier” or the “Company”) today reported third quarter 2022 financial and operational results and announced a $250 million shareholder return program.

  • Total revenue of $896.0 million, a 6% sequential increase and up 128% year-over-year

Management Commentary

“NexTier’s third quarter was another record setting quarter with milestones achieved in adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow,” commented Robert Drummond, President and Chief Executive Officer of NexTier. “Demand for our services was strong even before the announced OPEC production cuts, and customer behavior was unaffected by recent commodity volatility. We’re confident that supply and demand dynamics should remain supportive as we continue efforts to recapture Covid related pricing concessions throughout 2023, while demonstrating disciplined leadership in the well completions industry. Further, given the current extreme tightness in the frac market, our equipment will likely remain highly utilized even in a less optimistic demand scenario.”

“We are seeing the rewards from our intense focus on capital discipline and maximizing returns, and we continue to believe that focusing on these core values is the best path forward for NexTier and our shareholders,” said Kenny Pucheu, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NexTier. “These ongoing commitments and a constructive outlook will allow NexTier to reward our shareholders with the reinstatement of a meaningful return of capital program early in the cycle, and we believe our detailed capital allocation framework provides a winning roadmap for maximizing value creation for the company and our shareholders through the cycle.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue totaled $896.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $842.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, and $393.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The sequential improvement in revenue was primarily driven by improved net and gross pricing, efficiency gains, and continued progress in our wellsite integration strategy. As an offset to the aforementioned sequential gains, we had a fire on one of our Simul frac fleets, which damaged a portion of the fleet. The impact of this downed fleet, in addition to the carrying and re-activation costs, impacted results by approximately $5 to $6 million during the quarter.

Net income totaled $104.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $68.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income totaled $129.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to adjusted net income of $98.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) of $37.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $35.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted SG&A(1) totaled $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to adjusted SG&A of $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $194.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $165.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, and $27.8 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Third Quarter 2022 Management Adjustments

EBITDA(1) for the third quarter of 2022 was $170.0 million. When excluding net management adjustments of $24.8 million, adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $194.8 million. Management adjustments included $7.1 million in non-cash stock compensation expense, $27.5 million in acquisition, integration, and expansion costs mostly related to the revaluation of the earnout for the Alamo acquisition, a net of $1.2 million in other adjustments, partially offset by $11.0 million related to a gain on estimated insurance recovery in excess of book value from the fire.

Completion Services

Revenue in our Completion Services segment totaled $857.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $801.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted gross profit(1) in this segment totaled $205.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $184.7 million in the second quarter of 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company did not deploy any additional horsepower to its Completions Services fleet. 

Well Construction and Intervention Services

Revenue in our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment, totaled $38.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $41.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. The sequential decline was the result of the sale of the coiled tubing assets during the quarter, with the cement business seeing improved results, sequentially. Adjusted gross profit in this segment totaled $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to adjusted gross profit of $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was $364.8 million, net of debt discounts and deferred financing costs and excluding finance lease obligations. As of September 30, 2022, total available liquidity was $621.7 million, comprised of cash of $250.2 million and $371.5 million of available borrowing capacity under our asset-based credit facility, which remains undrawn.

Total cash provided by operating activities during the third quarter of 2022 was $163.8 million and cash used by investing activities was $31.2 million, excluding the $27.2 million in cash used in acquisitions, mostly from the purchase of CIG’s last mile logistics business, resulting in a positive free cash flow of $132.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Shareholder Return Program

NexTier’s Board of Directors has authorized a shareholder return program including approval to initiate share repurchases under which the Company may use a total of up to $250 million between now and December 31, 2023. This represents approximately 9% of NexTier’s market capitalization based on the current share price.

“We believe our capital allocation framework will allow us to responsibly invest in our business to sustain our fleet and transition to a fully natural gas powered and electric fleet over time, while also funding avenues for non-frac growth through our wellsite integration strategy,” said Mr. Drummond. “It is clear to us that last cycle’s playbook did not work, and we do not intend to repeat the growth at all cost strategy the industry has taken in prior cycles. We see balance sheet stability, disciplined spending, and shareholder returns as the model to deliver long-term value creation. We intend to return at least half of our free cash flow to investors annually. This strategy should endure through the cycle and allow us to both strengthen our business and reward our shareholders.”

The share repurchase program may be executed from time to time in open market transactions, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions, through 10b5-1 plans, or by other means. The amount, timing and terms of any share repurchases will be determined based on prevailing market conditions and other factors, including applicable black-out periods. The share repurchase program does not obligate NexTier to purchase any shares of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at NexTier’s discretion. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated through December 31, 2023. The company will continue to evaluate all available options for returning capital to shareholders through the cycle, including potential future dividends.

Capital Allocation Framework and Updated Investor Presentation

NexTier is committed to capital discipline and intends to return a sizeable portion of its free cash flow to investors. The Company’s capital allocation strategy is guided by the following principles:

(i) Maintaining a strong balance sheet that prioritizes a clear path to net debt zero and strong liquidity;

(ii) Capital expenditures through the cycle of 8-9% of revenue, annually, which we believe is sufficient to maintain the fleet, transition to natural gas and electric power over time, and grow our wellsite integration strategy;

(iii) Target a return of at least half of our free cash flow to shareholders annually, and;

(iv) Retain some balance sheet flexibility to participate in opportunistic M&A transactions and/or increase the shareholder return program with a focus on maximizing returns.

NexTier will discuss its capital allocation framework in more detail on its third quarter of 2022 earnings conference call.

NexTier’s detailed capital allocation framework can be found in an Investor Presentation that can be accessed through the link below, or from the Investor Relations page on our website at www.nextierofs.com.

Outlook

Industry fundamentals remain positive during the fourth quarter of 2022, with strong demand and minimal calendar whitespace in a sold out frac market. Historically, the fourth quarter carries uncertainty related to customer budget exhaustion, winter weather, and holiday slowdowns that can create unanticipated downtime late in the quarter.

For the fourth quarter of 2022 we anticipate revenue will be down 2-4%, sequentially, a function of these seasonal factors. We expect another strong quarter of profitability and free cash flow to exit the year.

Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2022 are expected to be approximately $75 to $85 million. The additional budgetary spend will mainly fund increased major components inventory to sustain the fleet, approximately $18 million to fund the replacement horsepower lost in the fire that will be reimbursed in the fourth quarter by insurance proceeds, and accelerate Power Solutions capacity already sold into the market. With the budgeted fourth quarter capital spend and expected strong profitability in the fourth quarter, we still expect to surpass our free cash flow target of at least $225 million in 2022.

Our 2023 capital expenditure budget is $350 million. We expect to spend roughly 2/3 of our 2023 capital expenditure budget to fund maintenance on our existing asset base, while transitioning the fleet to natural gas/electric powered, sufficient for us to maintain our market share, responsibly, over the coming years. The remaining roughly 1/3 will target growth in our wellsite integration services, including Power Solutions and NexMile Logistics, as well as to fund internal high-return projects that lower costs and/or raise efficiency.

Mr. Drummond concluded, “For too long, global energy policies have ignored what many of us in the industry have been saying, that underinvestment in oil and gas would one day lead to a spike in energy prices. Renewable sources of energy are not yet nearly sufficient to replace fossil fuels as the primary source of energy around the world, and higher oil and gas production will be needed over the long-term in order to help solve the current inflationary crisis. We believe US shale must play a big role in balancing global energy needs. For NexTier, this backdrop should create a strong multi-year demand cycle as we look to help re-establish a more sustainable oil and gas production trajectory while restoring investor confidence in the sector.”

Coil Tubing asset sale

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2022 the Company completed the sale of its coil tubing assets to Gladiator Energy for a cash purchase price of $21.55 million.

Last Mile Logistics asset acquisition

As previously disclosed, on August 3, 2022 the Company completed the acquisition of last mile logistics assets from CIG Logistics for an aggregate purchase price of (i) approximately $27 million in cash paid at closing plus (ii) 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

(1)  Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company has included in this press release or discussed on the conference call described above certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which are calculated on segment basis or product line basis. These measurements provide supplemental information which management believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate our ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside GAAP measures such as net income and operating income. You should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results under GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, free cash flow, adjusted SG&A, and net debt. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance, and thereby facilitate review of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different capital structures, and comparability to the Company’s results of operations may be impacted by the effects of acquisition accounting on its depreciation and amortization. As a result of the effects of these factors and factors specific to other companies, the Company believes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share provide helpful information to analysts and investors to facilitate a comparison of its operating performance to that of other companies. The Company believes free cash flow is important to investors in that it provides a useful measure to assess management’s effectiveness in the areas of profitability and capital management.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures, please see the tables at the end of this press release. Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items, particularly with estimates for certain contingent liabilities, and estimating non-cash unrealized fair value losses and gains which are subject to market variability and therefore a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measure Definitions: EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted with certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company. Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of services, further adjusted to eliminate items in cost of services that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Adjusted gross profit at the segment level is not considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure as it is our segment measure of profit or loss and is required to be disclosed under GAAP pursuant to ASC 280. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted with certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Adjusted net income per share is defined as (i) adjusted net income, (ii) divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for severance and business divestiture costs, merger/transaction-related costs, and other non-routine items. Free cash flow is defined as the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents before financing activities, excluding any acquisitions. Net debt is defined as (i) total debt, net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, (ii) subtracted by cash and cash equivalents.
