Net income generated after the Business Combination from June 7 to December 31, 2018 was $35 million.

Production Services segment produced 11% revenue growth quarter-over-quarter and 13% revenue growth year-over-year.
  Solid cash generation from ongoing operations with the Company repaying $44 million in December 2018 for the principal and interest on the $50 million convertible loan taken to fund the business combination in June 2018 and the balance fully repaid in January 2019.

 

Sherif Foda, Chairman of the Board and CEO of NESR said, “2018 was a transformative and pivotal year for NESR. We have progressed from an idea and ambition to the largest national oilfield services company in the region. I strongly believe our performance in the two quarters since closing gives a preview of what is to be expected of NESR in the future. I am incredibly proud of our employees and the commitment they have shown to our philosophy of putting customers first.”

 

Mr. Foda continued, “As demonstrated by the recent announcements of our customers, we believe regional E&P spend will significantly increase in the coming five years. In turn, this spending will drive strong growth in the overall services market. The healthy macro environment, coupled with our exceptional service delivery platform, our growth investments and our recognized position as the national oilfield services champion, puts us in a very good position for 2019 and beyond.”

Additionally, the Company had a non-recurring adjustment to net income recorded for an acquisition-related earn-out at year end totaling $6.1 million in the fourth quarter.

Business Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations

 

As a result of the Business Combination, NESR was determined to be the accounting acquirer and NPS was determined to be the predecessor for SEC reporting purposes. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), a preliminary assessment was made as of the acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration paid by NESR to effect the Business Combination was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting resulting from the Business Combination, the financial statements and certain footnote presentations separate our presentations into two distinct sets of reporting periods, the periods before the consummation of the transaction (“Predecessor Periods”) and the period after that date (“Successor Period”), to indicate the application of the different basis of accounting between the periods presented. The Predecessor Periods reflect the historical financial information of NPS prior to the Business Combination, while the Successor Period reflects our consolidated financial information, including the results of NPS and GES, after the Business Combination. The Successor Periods are from June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Predecessor Periods are from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and from January 1, 2018 to June 6, 2018.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA TO NET INCOME

(Unaudited)

(In thousands)

 

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”), as well a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 and impairment), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (Business Combination transaction expenses and related integration costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 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 U.S. GAAP.
