National Energy Services Reunited Corp. Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2020 / National Energy Services Reunited Corp. ("NESR" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:NESR)(NASDAQ:NESRW), a national, industry-leading provider of integrated energy services in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") and Asia Pacific regions, today reported its financial results for the quarter March 31, 2020. The Company posted the following results for the periods presented:
Sherif Foda, Chairman of the Board and CEO of NESR said, "Our performance during the first quarter of 2020 was outstanding. In the face of unprecedented challenges, wrought by the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and compounded by oil prices not seen in nearly twenty years, we managed to outperform and break our own record by delivering the best revenue quarter in the history of the Company. As the crisis emerged, our Crisis Management Team ("CMT") quickly mobilized to implement our business continuity plan while taking measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, clients, partners and suppliers in all the countries in which we operate." Mr. Foda continued, "I am very proud of our team in the field; they maintained close contact with our clients and managed to execute all operations flawlessly despite substantial logistical challenges and travel restrictions. We supported our customers by assuming additional operations when other providers had significant disruptions. This is a clear testament to our commitment to In-Country value creation and the advantage we have because of our focus on local knowledge, local employment, and responsive agility under any circumstance." Impact of Decline in Oil Prices and COVID-19 In December 2019, the emergence of a new strain of the COVID-19 was reported in China that has subsequently spread across China, MENA, and the rest of the world, including the United States. As a result of the outbreak, travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and similar measures taken by governments and companies have had a significant impact on global commerce and the price of oil. Since early March 2020, the global oil markets have experienced a precipitous decline in oil prices in response to concerns regarding the potential impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on worldwide oil demand and disputes over production cuts between Russia and OPEC. On April 20, 2020, oil prices for May deliveries of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil turned negative as demand for oil collapsed despite OPEC countries and Russia agreeing to cut production. Due to the uncertain and rapidly evolving outbreak of COVID-19, including its duration and severity, and the impact of reduced oil consumption and prices on oil production in the MENA region, we cannot currently estimate the scope of their impact on our business, our results of operations, our financial condition, our personnel, our customers, our suppliers or the global economy. However, while we cannot estimate the scope of impact, we have taken a number of steps to protect our workforce from COVID-19 and balanced our strategic focus between preserving the strength of our balance sheet and our larger growth objectives. At the recommendation of our CMT, most of our work crews are no longer rotating on-and-off operation sites to minimize the potential for community spread of COVID-19, and a fair number of our office-based support personnel are working remotely. Additionally, we have reevaluated the timing and extent of our planned capital expenditures and updated our cash flow forecasts to be prepared for potential risks due to customer activity and/or collection slowdowns. We may increase or further decrease our capital expenditures budget as circumstances change. We continue to monitor the ongoing situation and may continue to adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available. Net Income Results The Company had net income for the first quarter of 2020 totaling $11.4 million as compared to a net income of $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net income for the first quarter of 2020, fourth quarter of 2019, and first quarter of 2019, includes amortization expenses of $3.8 million, per quarter, associated with intangible assets acquired in the 2018 acquisitions of our two operating subsidiaries. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2020 is $13.0 million and includes adjustments totaling $1.7 million mainly related to transaction costs associated with the forthcoming acquisition of Sahara Petroleum Services Company S.A.E ("SAPESCO") in Egypt (collectively, "Total Charges and Credits"). A complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income." The Company reported $0.13 of diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.04 per share during the fourth quarter 2019 period. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, Adjusted Diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2020 is $0.15, compared to $0.17 per share during the first quarter of 2019 period. Adjusted EBITDA Results The Company produced Adjusted EBITDA of $50.9 million during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $40.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. First quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for certain Total Charges and Credits (those not related to interest, taxes, and/or depreciation and amortization) of $1.7 million.

NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), net income and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Diluted EPS," respectively), as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and diluted EPS, respectively, in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discusses the non-GAAP balance sheet measure of the sum of our recorded current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents ("Net Debt") in this release and provides a reconciliation to the GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt to Net Debt. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company's board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Similarly, Net Debt is used by management as a liquidity measure used to illustrate the Company's debt level absent variability in cash and cash equivalents, and the Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, or diluted EPS, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Net Debt also should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments is focused on the timing of when the services are performed during a well's lifecycle. Production Services are services performed during the production stage of a well's lifecycle. Drilling and Evaluation Services are services performed during the pre-production stages of a well's lifecycle. The Company believes that the presentation of Segment EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations.
