Nuverra Announces Fourth-Quarter And Full Year 2016 Results

PR Newswire

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: NESC) ("Nuverra" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

  • Fourth quarter revenue was $35.8 million, an increase of approximately 1.0%, or $0.3 million, when compared with revenue of $35.4 million in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, were $48.0 million, or a 0.9% increase when compared with $47.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, and a 38.9% reduction in total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, when compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.
  • Loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $61.3 million, or a loss of $0.45 per diluted share, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $38.4 million, or a loss of $0.30 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared with adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Total liquidity as of December 31, 2016 was $12.6 million.

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Fourth quarter revenue was $35.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.0%, from $35.4 million in the third quarter of 2016. Revenue increased sequentially based on a mix of pricing and activity improvement as rig counts continued to rebound, partially offset by poor weather conditions in December.  In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company reported revenue of $68.6 million.

Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, were $48.0 million, a 0.9% increase compared with total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, of $47.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. The Company reported total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, of $78.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

On a year-over-year comparison with the fourth quarter of 2015, the $30.5 million reduction in total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, included:

  • Approximately $12.8 million in lower payroll and related expenses, reflecting a 41.0% year-over-year reduction in headcount;
  • Approximately $2.3 million in lower fuel expense;
  • Approximately $2.6  million, or 34.7%, in lower general and administrative expenses;
  • Approximately $3.4 million in lower depreciation and amortization expenses; with,
  • The balance of $9.4 million related to reductions in other direct operating expenses.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $61.3 million, or a loss of $0.45 per diluted share. Special items in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $35.3 million and included $31.7 million for asset impairment charges, partially offset by a $0.7 million gain on the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability.  Additionally, special items included net losses on sales of underutilized assets, non-recurring legal and professional fees, and stock-based compensation expense.  Excluding the impact of these special items, fourth quarter adjusted loss from continuing operations was $26.0 million, or a loss of $0.19 per diluted share.  This compares with a loss from continuing operations, adjusted for special items, of $26.3 million, or a loss of $0.20 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations, adjusted for special items, of $21.8 million, or a loss of $0.79 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared with $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations was 7.1%, compared with 9.7% in the third quarter of 2016.  The Company reported adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $8.2 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations of 12.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

2016 FULL YEAR RESULTS

Revenue for the year was $152.2 million, a decrease of $204.5 million, or 57.3%, when compared with $356.7 million for fiscal 2015.  The decrease was attributable to lower overall drilling and completion activities by our customers due to the continued decline in oil and natural gas prices, coupled with continued pricing pressures in all divisions.

Net loss from continuing operations for the year was $167.6 million, or a loss of $1.84 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $195.2 million, or a loss of $7.05 per diluted share, for fiscal 2015. Excluding special items, the full year adjusted loss from continuing operations was $108.0 million, or a loss of $1.19 per diluted share, compared with adjusted loss from continuing operations of $73.8 million, or a loss of $2.67 per diluted share, in 2015.  The $59.4 million in special items for the full year primarily included $14.3 million in legal and professional fees associated with the Company's exchange offer and related debt restructuring activities, and $42.2 million for asset impairment charges, partially offset by a $1.7 million gain on the sale of the Company's minority interest in Underground Solutions, Inc., and a $3.3 million gain on the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability.  Additionally, special items included net losses on sales of underutilized assets, severance-related charges, stock-based compensation expense, and the write off of a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs associated with amendments to the asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility").

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the full year was $7.8 million, a decrease of 82.9% when compared with fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations for 2016 was 5.2%, compared with 12.9% in 2015.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was $26.3 million, while asset sales net of capital expenditures from continuing operations provided proceeds of $6.9 million.  For the full year ended December 31, 2016, free cash flow (defined as net cash used in or provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment net of proceeds received from sales of property, plant and equipment) was negative at $19.4 million, compared with positive free cash flow of $43.4 million in 2015.

Total liquidity as of December 31, 2016, consisting almost entirely of available borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, was $12.6 million.

As of December 31, 2016, total debt outstanding was $487.6 million, including $40.4 million of 9.875% Senior Notes due 2018, $351.3 million of 12.5%/10.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021, $60.7 million under a term loan, $22.7 million under the ABL Facility, and $12.5 million in capital leases and notes payable.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

 (In thousands)

(Unaudited)


This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that 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 statements of operations or balance sheets of the Company; or 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. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
 
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company's ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business results, and evaluates overall performance with respect to such indicators. Management believes that excluding items such as acquisition expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, asset impairments, restructuring charges, expenses related to litigation and resolution of lawsuits, and other charges, which may or may not be non-recurring, among other items that are inconsistent in amount and frequency (as with acquisition expenses), or determined pursuant to complex formulas that incorporate factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control (as with stock-based compensation), for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and comparisons to the past and future operating performance. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per share,  in addition to related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company's management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not necessarily be indicative of the Company's liquidity or ability to fund cash needs. Not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner, and our presentation may not be comparable to the presentations of other companies.
