RPC, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
| · | Reported net loss of $0.33 per share, including impairment and other charges of $71.7 million |
| · | Adjusted net loss of $0.08 per share1 |
ATLANTA, October 23, 2019 - RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) today announced its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services and equipment primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, revenues were $293.2 million, a decrease of 33.4 percent, compared with $440.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. Revenues decreased due to lower activity levels and slightly lower pricing within most of RPC’s service lines. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $92.6 million compared to operating profit of $54.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted operating loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $21.0 million.2 Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $69.2 million, or $0.33 loss per share, compared to net income of $50.0 million, or $0.23 diluted earnings per share, in the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $18.0 million, or $0.08 adjusted loss per share.1 Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter was negative $48.9 million, compared to EBITDA of $97.8 million in the same period of the prior year.3 Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) for the third quarter was $22.8 million.3
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues decreased to $986.4 million compared to $1.34 billion in the same period last year. Net loss for the nine-month period was $63.7 million, or $0.30 loss per share, compared to net income of $162.0 million, or $0.75 diluted earnings per share in the same period last year. Adjusted net loss for the nine-month period was $12.5 million, or $0.06 adjusted loss per share.1
Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2019 was $225.2 million, or 76.8 percent of revenues, compared to $300.9 million, or 68.4 percent of revenues, during the third quarter of 2018. Cost of revenues decreased, consistent with lower activity levels, due to lower materials and supplies expenses, employment costs, and other expenses that vary with activity levels. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased due to lower activity levels, increasingly competitive pricing for our services, and labor cost inefficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $42.6 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared with $41.8 million in the third quarter of 2018. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 14.5 percent in the third quarter of 2019 compared with 9.5 percent in the third quarter of 2018. Depreciation and amortization increased to $44.7 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared with $43.0 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

Discussion of Sequential Quarterly Financial Results
RPC’s revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased by $65.3 million, or 18.2 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2019 due primarily to lower activity levels in pressure pumping. Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $39.9 million, or 15.0 percent, due primarily to decreases in materials and supplies expenses and other expenses which vary with activity levels. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from 73.9 percent in the second quarter of 2019 to 76.8 percent in the third quarter of 2019, due primarily to labor inefficiencies and increasingly competitive pricing for our services. RPC’s adjusted operating loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $21.0 million, compared with operating income of $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2019 was $22.8 million compared to EBITDA of $51.2 million in the prior quarter.
Management Commentary
“The average U.S. domestic rig count during the third quarter of 2019 was 920, a 12.5 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2018, and a 7.0 percent decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019,” stated Richard A. Hubbell, RPC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The average price of oil during the third quarter was $56.39 per barrel, a 19.1 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2018 and a 5.8 percent decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019. The average price of natural gas during the third quarter was $2.38 per Mcf, an 18.8 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2018, and a 7.4 percent decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019. Our significant sequential revenue declines were driven by pronounced weakness in pressure pumping and coiled tubing. Although many service companies are idling fleets, the pressure pumping industry continues to be oversupplied.
“In our second quarter commentary, we stated there were indications customer activities would decline during the third quarter. Because these declines did occur and are expected to continue in the near term, we are adjusting our operating strategy to compete in this difficult market. During the third quarter we began closing several pressure pumping-related facilities, retiring older pressure pumping equipment, and reducing the number of staffed fleets and operational and administrative employee headcount. In connection with the preparation of our third quarter financial statements, we recorded impairment and other charges of $71.7 million of which $69.7 million was in our Technical Services segment and $2.0 million in Corporate expenses, of which $5.9 million will have a cash impact.

“The locations we are closing have inadequate utilization of equipment and crews. The older pressure pumping equipment is being retired because it no longer effectively meets the industry’s current market requirements, needs more maintenance, and is not expected to generate adequate returns in the future. As a result of these steps, RPC will be better positioned to compete in a difficult market environment.
“Capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2019 were $77.0 million. We finished the third quarter with $49.5 million in cash, a slight increase compared with the end of the second quarter and continue to remain debt free. In spite of a very challenging operating environment and our impairment charge, our balance sheet remains strong,” concluded Hubbell.
Summary of Segment Operating Performance
RPC manages two operating segments - Technical Services and Support Services.
Technical Services includes RPC’s oilfield service lines that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer’s well. These services are generally directed toward improving the flow of oil and natural gas from producing formations or to address well control issues. The Technical Services segment includes pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, hydraulic workover services, nitrogen, surface pressure control equipment, well control and fishing tool operations.
Support Services includes RPC’s oilfield service lines that provide equipment for customer use or services to assist customer operations. The equipment and services offered include rental of tubulars and related tools, pipe handling, inspection and storage services, and oilfield training services.
Technical Services revenues decreased by 34.8 percent for the quarter compared to the same period of the prior year due to lower pricing and activity levels within most of the service lines which comprise this segment. On a sequential basis, Technical Services revenues decreased by 18.8 percent during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior quarter due primarily to lower activity levels within pressure pumping. Support Services revenues were unchanged during the quarter compared to the same period of the prior year. On a sequential basis, Support Services revenues decreased by 8.4 percent during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior quarter. Technical Services incurred an operating loss during the third quarter of 2019 compared with an operating profit during the second quarter due primarily to lower customer activity within pressure pumping. Support Services’ operating profit declined $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior quarter due to lower revenues within rental tools, the largest service line in this segment.

Certain statements and information included in this press release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including all statements that look forward in time or express management’s beliefs, expectations or hopes. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including statements that the decline in customer activities during the third quarter of 2019 are expected to continue; that our older pressure pumping equipment which is being retired will not generate adequate returns; and that RPC’s steps will better position RPC to compete. Such risks include changes in general global business and economic conditions, including volatility of oil and natural gas prices; credit risks associated with collections of our accounts receivable from customers experiencing challenging business conditions; drilling activity and rig count; risks of reduced availability or increased costs of both labor and raw materials used in providing our services; the impact on our operations if we are unable to comply with regulatory and environmental laws; turmoil in the financial markets and the potential difficulty to fund our capital needs; the potentially high cost of capital required to fund our capital needs; the impact of the level of unconventional exploration and production activities may cease or change in nature so as to reduce demand for our services; the actions of the OPEC cartel; the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict in the oil production regions of the world, which could impact drilling activity; adverse weather conditions in oil and gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico; competition in the oil and gas industry; an inability to implement price increases; risks of international operations; and our reliance upon large customers. Additional discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in RPC's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Appendix A
RPC, Inc. has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net loss, adjusted net income, adjusted loss per share, and adjusted earnings per share in today's earnings release, and anticipates using these non-GAAP financial measures in today's earnings conference call. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, earnings per share, or other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that presenting the financial measures of adjusted net loss, adjusted net income, adjusted loss per share, and adjusted earnings per share enable us to compare our operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to non-recurring items.
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Set forth below is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure with its most comparable GAAP measures. This reconciliation also appears on RPC, Inc.'s investor website, which can be found on the Internet at www.rpc.net.

Appendix C
RPC has used the non-GAAP financial measures of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) in today's earnings release, and anticipates using EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in today's earnings conference call. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
RPC uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it allows us to compare performance consistently over various periods without regard to changes in our capital structure or non-recurring items. We are also required to use EBITDA to report compliance with financial covenants under our revolving credit facility.
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA with net loss and net income, the most comparable GAAP measures.
