ProPetro Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

MIDLAND, TX, May 10, 2017 (Businesswire) – ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro” or “the Company”) (NYSE: PUMP) today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2017.
First Quarter 2017 Highlights
Total revenue for the quarter increased 96% to $171.9 million, compared to $87.9 million for the first quarter 2016.
Net loss for the quarter was $24.4 million, or $0.43 loss per diluted share including special items, as compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.37 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $16.2 million, up approximately 700% from $2.0 million for the first quarter 2016.
Completed the Company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO), which generated net proceeds to ProPetro of $170.1 million.
Reduced debt by $161.7 million during the quarter, of which $71.8 million was from IPO proceeds.
Reported total liquidity of $235.6 million as of March 31, 2017, including a new undrawn $150.0 million revolving credit facility.
Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is described and reconciled to net loss in the table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”.
According to data published by Baker Hughes Inc., the Permian Basin rig count, a significant driver of the Company’s business, increased 21% from 264 at December 30, 2016 to 319 as of March 31, 2017. This was a key factor in ProPetro maintaining 100% utilization of its fleet in the first quarter of 2017. The Permian Basin rig count as of May 5, 2017 was 349, a 9% increase from the end of the first quarter.
Dale Redman, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report our first quarterly results following our recent IPO. Our business performed very well during the quarter and our fleet remained fully utilized. Our deep relationships and operational alignment with customers allowed us to further capitalize on the rapidly expanding rig count and strong demand for pressure pumping services in the Permian Basin. Moreover, as a result of our IPO in March, we have secured the funding for four new-build pressure pumping fleets and ended the period with increased financial flexibility that will enable us to execute on our announced expansion initiatives and other opportunities to grow the business.”

Year-Over-Year Financial Summary
Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $171.9 million, compared with $87.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher customer activity and demand for ProPetro’s services, leading to improved pricing for the Company’s pressure pumping and other services. During first quarter 2017, 95.3% of total revenue was associated with pressure pumping services.
Costs of services excluding depreciation and amortization increased to $149.6 million from $80.3 million in the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher activity levels, coupled with an associated increase in headcount. As a percentage of pressure pumping segment revenues, pressure pumping costs of services decreased to 87.5% from 92.2% from the same period in 2016 due to improved pricing as demand for services increased without a corresponding increase in costs.
General and administrative expense rose to $19.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared with $5.8 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to nonrecurring expenses, including an IPO cash bonus of $6.4 million to key employees throughout the company and $6.8 million of accelerated stock compensation, including non-recurring stock compensation for restricted stock units, in connection with the IPO. General and administrative expenses, excluding non-recurring expenses, as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 3.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to 6.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and the decrease is as a result of the higher revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $24.4 million, or $0.43 loss per diluted share, versus a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.37 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $16.2 million in the first three months of 2017 compared with $2.0 million in the same period a year ago.
Capital Structure and Liquidity
On January 13, 2017, ProPetro paid down $75.0 million of its outstanding term loan and the remaining $13.5 million revolving credit facility balance using a portion of the proceeds from a recent private placement offering.
On March 22, 2017, ProPetro completed its IPO, generating net proceeds of $170.1 million, which was used to repay $71.8 million in outstanding term loan borrowings, to fund the purchase of additional hydraulic fracturing fleets, ancillary equipment and for general corporate purposes. In the offering, 25,000,000 shares were sold at a price of $14.00 per share with 13,250,000 shares issued and sold by the Company, and 11,750,000 shares sold by existing stockholders.
As of March 31, 2017, total liquidity was $235.6 million, including $85.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as an undrawn revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $150.0 million.
Pressure Pumping Fleet Expansion
To support increasing demand for pressure pumping services from the Company’s existing customers, ProPetro recently took delivery of one new-build pressure pumping fleet. The fleet commenced operations on May 2, 2017, and brings current total hydraulic capacity to 465,000 horsepower. The Company expects

2    


delivery of its next new fleet by the end of the second quarter, with two additional fleets scheduled for delivery by year end 2017. Upon delivery of these fleets, the Company’s fleet will have total capacity of 600,000 hydraulic horsepower, a 43% increase from 420,000 hydraulic horsepower at the end of the first quarter of 2017.
Dale Redman concluded, “Given its well-known geology and large, exploitable resource base delivering attractive E&P producer economics, the Permian Basin is expected to remain the preferred oil resource in North America for the foreseeable future. With all of our fracturing operations in the Permian, we believe our strong and long-standing relationships with key E&P customers uniquely positions us for continued expansion in the region. As always, we will remain focused on providing excellent customer service, ensuring our fleet remains well-maintained for optimal performance and reliability, and providing a safe work environment for our employees and customers. This proven model has served us well in the past and will drive increased shareholder value into the future.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
