ALY ENERGY SERVICES, INC. REPORTS MORE THAN 25% INCREASE IN ADJUSTED EBITDA1 QUARTER-OVER-QUARTER

 

HOUSTON, TX - (August 26, 2019) - (OTCQB: ALYE) In its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2019, Aly Energy Services, Inc. (“Aly” or the “Company”) reported quarterly Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 which was 26.2% greater than the Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.8 million reported for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The primary driver of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 quarter-over-quarter was an increase in revenue generated from the Company’s lead surface rental products (and the associated rig-up/rig-down and trucking services) due to increases in both activity and pricing.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Aly generated cash flow of $1.6 million from operating activities and $0.2 million from net borrowings. The aggregate cash generated, in addition to $0.7 million of cash on hand, was used to fund $2.5 million in capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2019, cash and restricted cash aggregated to $1.0 million, which combined with cash generated from operating activities, will be used primarily to support ongoing operations and to repay borrowings under the Company’s credit facility with a related party.

 

Management Comment

 

Micki Hidayatallah, Aly’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said: “We are extremely proud that, during a period of a declining rig count, we increased Adjusted EBITDA1 by over 25% quarter-over-quarter when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2019 to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Although the rig count continues to decline, we believe we are well-situated to improve margins further during the remainder of the year.”

 

“In 2018, Aly embraced a low-risk growth strategy when we initiated a comprehensive capital expenditure plan to purchase tanks, pumps and other equipment which was being sub-rented at the time from third-party vendors. We were confident that, once purchased, the equipment would generate an immediate return either by expanding the Company’s available fleet of equipment to meet increased demand and thereby increasing revenue or by enabling the Company to replace high-cost equipment sub-rented from third-party vendors with owned equipment thereby reducing costs. The initial impact of this strategy has materialized as expected and is reflected in our financial results: (i) tanks, primarily 500bbl round-bottom tanks, purchased during the first half of 2019 contributed to increased revenue from both the rental of the tanks and the associated rig-up/rig-down and trucking services and were largely responsible for the improvement in operating results when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2019 to the three months ended March 31, 2019, and (ii) pumps and other equipment, purchased and fabricated in 2018, replaced sub-rented equipment and reduced the annual sub-rental expenditures by $0.8 million. The impact will be magnified in the second half of the year when we benefit from a full period of having all of the purchased and fabricated equipment in service.”

 

“During the remainder of 2019, we are well-positioned to grow revenue without significant incremental costs, particularly through increased activity with existing customers in both our surface rental and solids control product lines. Late in the second quarter, we entered into a leasing arrangement with a related party, Permian Pelican Rentals, LLC (“PPR”) under which we will gain access to an incremental 40 500bbl tanks at low sub-rental rates. Many of our existing customers have not reduced their drilling activity and we believe that the tanks leased from PPR, which will become available beginning in the third quarter, combined with the 50 tanks purchased during the first half of the year, will enable us to take on additional surface rental work. In our solids control product line, we have had relatively low utilization of our equipment throughout 2019. Increasing the utilization of our centrifuges can raise revenue and margins quickly as we have the capacity to double our existing utilization with virtually no start-up or fixed costs and minimal variable costs. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, we have expanded our sales team to include more expertise in the solids control product line and we are emphasizing the cross-selling of solids control products to existing surface rental customers.”

“If our existing customers are not in need of additional equipment and if we are unable to obtain work with new customers, we will still be able to improve margins during the second of half the year. To the extent we have spare owned tanks or spare tanks leased from PPR, we will immediately swap tanks which are sub-rented for the spare owned or leased tanks and we will return the sub-rented tanks to the vendors. The return of sub-rented tanks and other equipment will result in a significant decrease in costs and thus improved margins.”

 

“Despite a challenging and uncertain market environment, we believe demand from our existing customers will remain strong and we are confident that executing on our low-risk growth strategy of increasing our fleet of equipment to either satisfy incremental demand or to replace high-cost sub-rented equipment will result in improved margins during the second half of 2019.”

1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not necessarily comparable from one company to another. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash items, such as stock compensation expense, bad debt expense, and gains on extinguishment of debt, and certain non-routine items, including transaction costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, please see the tables at the end of this release.
