Investor Presentation September 30, 2020
Important Disclosures Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. The words "believe," "continue," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should," "may," "will," "would" or the negative thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Statements in this presentation regarding the Company that are forward-looking, including projections as to the amount and timing of synergies from C&J merger and outlook information, are based on management's estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. These factors and risks include, but are not limited to, (i) the competitive nature of the industry in which the Company conducts its business, including pricing pressures; (ii) the ability to meet rapid demand shifts; (iii) the impact of pipeline capacity constraints and adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions; (iv) the ability to obtain or renew customer contracts and changes in customer requirements in the markets the Company serves; (v) the ability to identify, effect and integrate acquisitions, joint ventures or other transactions; (vi) the ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; (vii) the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on the Company's operations; (viii) the effect of a loss of, or interruption in operations of, one or more key suppliers, including resulting from product defects, recalls or suspensions; (ix) the variability of crude oil and natural gas commodity prices; (x) the market price and availability of materials or equipment; (xi) the ability to obtain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and third parties; (xii) the Company's ability to employ a sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers to combat the operating hazards inherent in the Company's industry; (xiii) fluctuations in the market price of the Company's stock; (xiv) the level of, and obligations associated with, the Company's indebtedness; (xv) the duration, impact and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the evolving response thereto, including the impact of social distancing, shelter-in-place, shutdowns of non-essential businesses and similar measures imposed or undertaken by governments, private businesses or others; and (xvi) other risk factors and additional information. In addition, material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; the prompt and effective integration of C&J's businesses into the Company and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated in connection with the merger. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including under the heading "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all available on the SEC website or www.NexTierOFS.com. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which speak as of their respective dates, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued "forward-looking statement" constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Non-GAAP Measures: This presentation includes discussion of proforma Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). Please see the Appendix to this presentation for important information about non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. 2

Non-GAAP Information Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information: In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations for 2019, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in this presentation. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of both Keane Group Inc. (“Keane”) and C&J Energy Services, Inc. (“C&J”) and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger, assuming the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2019. For the period presented, adjustments have been made for (1) the preliminary acquisition accounting impact, (2) accounting policy alignment, and (3) the elimination of the impact from events that are directly attributable to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (e.g., non-routine merger and integration costs). The unaudited pro forma financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and accompanying notes contained in each of the Keane and C&J SEC filings. The pro forma financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what NexTier's results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2019, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of NexTier. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any cost or growth synergies that NexTier may achieve as a result of the merger, future costs to combine the operations of Keane and C&J or the costs necessary to achieve any cost or growth synergies. Non-GAAP Measure Definitions: This presentation includes both (i) Adjusted EBITDA calculated as NexTier defines it for its own use, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as reported by FactSet for peers. The NexTier definition of Adjusted EBITDA is defined as proforma net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, along with certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. NexTier Adjusted EBITDA is calculated using NexTier management adjustment methodology, and historical C&J adjustment amounts have been conformed accordingly. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA as reported by FactSet is for historical periods, the adjusted EBITDA (if disclosed by the applicable entity) or EBITDA as reported by the applicable entity, and (ii) for future periods, the consensus adjusted EBITDA for the applicable entity for the applicable period. NexTier’s Enterprise Value (EV) is calculated by multiplying the closing stock price on September 24, 2020 by the number of fully-diluted shares outstanding, plus pension liabilities, less the net debt (e.g. total debt minus cash; provided that if net debt is less than 0, 0 is used) reported as of June 30, 2020. Enterprise Value for our peers is computed internally by FactSet and the NexTier Enterprise Value may not be calculated the same as the similarly titled measures from FactSet. FACTSET INFORMATION IS FOR DISCUSSION ONLY AND IS NOT ENDORSED OR CONFIRMED BY NEXTIER. 14
