Nuverra Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: NES) (“Nuverra” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $24.8 million compared to $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2020.
  • Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $3.9 million compared to a net loss of $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a gain of $4.0 million on the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was a loss of $0.2 million compared to a profit of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, mostly driven by higher operating costs which include fuel and driver costs.
  • Total liquidity available as of June 30, 2021 was $12.4 million including $5.0 million available under the Company’s undrawn operating line of credit.
  • Principal payments on debt and finance lease payments during the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $1.6 million.
  • The Company invested $1.3 million in gross capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

“As we climb out of the activity decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue our ongoing efforts to lower our cost structure. To better reflect the markets we serve, we are taking steps to rationalize our fleet and facility footprint and continuing our work on increasing efficiency in our service dispatch processes and other back office systems. We expect our G&A expense to be lower in the second half of 2021. While we are focused on recovering pricing lost during the COVID-19 induced downturn, we face significant inflationary pressures that offset those hard fought price increases, including higher wage costs due to competition for employees and fuel prices. Finally, I would like to recognize that throughout all of the changes our industry has undergone, the people at Nuverra continue to safely execute excellent customer service. I would like to thank all of the great people at Nuverra for their hard work, dedication and focus throughout all of the challenges we have faced over the past year.” said Pat Bond, Chief Executive Officer.

SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

For the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the second quarter of 2020, revenue increased by 1%, or $0.3 million, resulting primarily from increases in water transport services in the Rocky Mountain and Southern divisions, offset by a decrease in water transport services in the Northeast division and a decrease in disposal services in the Southern division. Despite an increase in the average commodity prices for both crude oil and natural gas quarter over quarter, which increased 136% and 74%, respectively, over this time, new drilling and completion activities have remained low relative to the levels seen in the past. Rig count at the end of the second quarter of 2021 compared to the end of the second quarter of 2020 declined 24% in the Rocky Mountain division, 5% in the Northeast division and, offset by a 29% increase in the Southern division.

The Rocky Mountain division has experienced a significant slowdown as compared to the prior year, as evidenced by the rig count declining 24% from 21 at June 30, 2020 to 16 at June 30, 2021. The average rig count for the first quarter of 2020 was 52, representing a 69% decrease since that time. Although there was a notable increase in WTI crude oil price per barrel, which averaged $66.19 in the second quarter of 2021 versus an average of $28.00 for the same period in 2020, new drilling and completion activities have been very low versus levels seen prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of this decline in activity is the result of many of the larger exploration and production companies either focusing their capital spending in other basins or having a predetermined drilling program and not looking to increase production as they focus on drilling within cash flow at the request of their investors. Revenues for the Rocky Mountain division increased by $0.6 million, or 5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $0.4 million, or 4% increase in water transport revenues from higher driver utilization. Company-owned trucking revenue declined 15%, or $1.2 million and third-party trucking revenue increased 145%, or $1.6 million. We continue to face a truck driver shortage in the Rocky Mountain Division similar to other areas of the country and industries. We are actively recruiting to attempt to increase our driver count. Company-owned trucking activity is more levered to production water volumes, and third-party trucking activity is more sensitive to drilling and completion activity. The principal factors in the increase in third-party trucking revenue was a small increase in revenue per rental days (approximately 25%). Our rental and landfill businesses are our two service lines most levered to drilling activity. Rental revenues increased by 11%, or $0.2 million, in the current year due to higher utilization and pricing. Our landfill revenues decreased 64%, or $0.2 million, compared to prior year due primarily to landfill being near capacity. We actively managed the facility to keep volumes low and are currently working on expanding the facility to take in additional volumes. Our salt water disposal well revenue increased $0.4 million or 33%, compared to prior year as higher completion activity and production volumes in the areas near our wells led to a 28% increase in average barrels per day disposed during the current year. Other revenue, which derives from the sale of “junk” or “slop” oil obtained through the skimming of disposal water, decreased by $0.1 million.

Revenues for the Northeast division decreased by $0.3 million, or 4%, during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 due to decreases in water transport services of $0.2 million, or 4%, and other revenue of $0.1 million or 41%. During the quarter the Northeast division sought to consolidate operations by identifying locations and customers that are not profitable and try to recalibrate focus on fewer and more profitable customers. Although natural gas prices per million Btu, as measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Index, increased 73.5% from an average of $1.70 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to an average of $2.95 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, producers continued their drilling activities at historically low levels. The limited new drilling activities caused a 5% rig count reduction in the Northeast operating area from 40 at June 30, 2020 to 38 at June 30, 2021. For our trucking services, revenues per billed hour decreased by 5% which was a function of the increased competition and the operator focus on reducing costs. The regional driver count declined approximately 12% year over year which also contributed to the lower revenue. We continue to face a truck driver shortage in our Northeast Division similar to that seen in our Rocky Mountain Division and similarly are actively recruiting to attempt to increase our driver count. The combination of a lower rig count, water reuse and sharing and competition, contributed to the decline in disposal volumes and pricing. In addition to these factors, we chose to close our Wellsboro truck yard in Northern Pennsylvania and relocated certain trucks to other areas of operation during the second quarter. This led to a decrease in revenue as we ceased operations at that location.

The Southern division usually has experienced a lesser impact relative to the other business units from the impact of the COVID-19 downturn, driven by its focus on servicing customers who are focused on dry natural gas, which has experienced a relatively smaller impact from the downturn in commodity prices. Revenues for the Southern division remained flat during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower disposal well volumes, whether connected to the pipeline or not, resulting from an activity slowdown in the region. Rig count increased 29% in the area, from 38 at June 30, 2020 to 49 at June 30, 2021 driving an increase in trucking revenue and an increase in volumes received in our disposal wells not connected to our pipeline by an average of 1,776 barrels per day (or 9%) during the current year. Volumes received in the disposal wells connected to the pipeline decreased by an average of 6,571 barrels per day (or 17%) during the current year.

Total costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 were $32.0 million and $30.2 million, respectively. Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, for the second quarter of 2021 were $30.8 million, or a 6% increase, when compared with $29.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. This is primarily a result of $1.3 million of transitional costs, which include severance and stock based compensation for executives, as well as an increase in fleet-related expenses, including fuel and maintenance and repair costs and compensation costs.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $3.9 million, a decrease of $2.9 million as compared to a net loss for the second quarter of 2020 of $6.8 million. For the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $6.6 million. This compares with a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was a $0.2 million loss, a decrease of 109.7% as compared to adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 of $2.5 million. The decrease is a function of the reasons discussed previously, with primary drivers being lower trucking volumes, salt water disposal volumes and rental equipment utilization in the Rocky Mountain division. Second quarter of 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin was (1)%, compared with 10% in the second quarter of 2020 driven primarily by higher operating costs during the second quarter of 2021.

YEAR-TO-DATE (“YTD”) RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

When compared to the six months ended 2020, 2021 revenue decreased by 22.4%, or $14.0 million. The decline in service revenue is primarily due to decreases in water transport services in the Rocky Mountain and Southern divisions, coupled with a decrease of disposal services in all three divisions. Although there was a notable increase in commodity prices for both crude oil and natural gas, which increased 69.0% and 77.9%, respectively, over this time period, the impact of COVID-19 is the main driver for the decline in demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, which has led to lower drilling and completion activity with fewer rigs operating in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast divisions and significant well shut-ins primarily in the Rocky Mountain division. Further, as we saw demand for commodities begin to rise we did not see a similar rise in production. A major driver for this has been the focus of exploration and production companies on drilling within cash flow at the request of their investors, versus growing production volumes. Despite the rise in commodity prices we have not seen the typical response in activity levels experienced historically. In addition to the lack of additional production during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we have seen our fuel costs and driver costs both rise at significant rates. During the second quarter of 2021, we began reaching out to customers requesting price increases for our services to help cover these costs, but it is unclear at this time to what extent we will be successful. Rig count during the first half of 2021 compared to 2020 declined 62% in the Rocky Mountain division, 16% in the Northeast division and increased 9% in the Southern division.

The Rocky Mountain division experienced a significant slowdown, with rig count declining 24% from 37 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 14 during the same period in June 30, 2021. Although there was a notable increase in WTI crude oil price per barrel, which averaged $62.21 during the first half of 2021 versus an average of $36.82 for the same period in 2020, revenues for the Rocky Mountain division decreased by $10.1 million, or 28%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to a $4.4 million, or 19%, decrease in water transport revenues from lower trucking volumes. Third-party trucking revenue decreased 15%, or $0.7 million, and revenue from company-owned trucking revenue declined 19%, or $3.4 million. Average total billable hours were down 22% compared to the prior year. While company-owned trucking activity is more levered to production water volumes, third-party trucking activity is more sensitive to drilling and completion activity, which has declined to historically low levels, thereby resulting in meaningful revenue reduction. Our rental and landfill businesses are our two service lines most levered to drilling activity, and therefore have declined by the highest percentage versus the prior period. Rental revenues decreased by 40%, or $2.0 million, in the current year due to lower utilization resulting from a significant decline in drilling activity driving the return of rental equipment. Our landfill revenues decreased 90%, or $1.6 million, compared to the prior year primarily due to the landfill being near capacity. We actively managed the facility to keep volumes low and are currently working on expanding the facility to take in additional volumes. Our salt water disposal well revenue decreased $4.4 million, or 19%, compared to the prior year as well shut-ins and lower completion activity led to a 17% decrease in average barrels per day disposed during the current year, with water from producing wells continuing to maintain a base level of volume activity.

Revenues for the Northeast division decreased by $2.8 million, or 15%, during six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 due to decreases in water transport services of $2.0 million, or 15%, and disposal services of $0.3 million, or 8%. Although natural gas prices per million Btu, as measured by the Henry Hub Natural Gas Index, increased 77.9% from an average of $1.81 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to an average of $3.22 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the rig count declined 5% in the Northeast operating area, from 40 at June 30, 2020 to 38 at June 30, 2021. This led to lower activity levels for both water transport services and disposal services. Our customers continued the industry trend of water reuse and water sharing in 2021. Water reuse inherently reduces trucking activity due to shorter hauling distances as water is being transported between well sites rather than to disposal wells. For our trucking services, total billable hours were down 8% from the prior year and pricing decreases also contributed to the decline, offset by disposal volumes increase in our salt water disposal wells of 2% in average barrels per day.

Revenues for the Southern division decreased by $1.1 million, or 13%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was due primarily to lower disposal well volumes both on the pipeline and for saltwater disposal assets not connected to our pipeline due in part to the winter storm in the first quarter of 2021 resulting in lost revenue days due to power outages and dangerous road conditions. Volumes received in our disposal wells not connected to our pipeline decreased by an average of 5,771 barrels per day (or 13%) during the current period and volumes received in the disposal wells connected to the pipeline decreased by an average of 16,801 barrels per day (or 22%) during the current period.

Total costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $62.6 million and $90.1 million, respectively. Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $61.3 million, or a 16.3% decrease, when compared with $73.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This is primarily a result of lower volumes and related costs in water transport services and disposal services and company cost cutting initiatives resulting in a 25% decrease in the number of drivers compared to the prior year period in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast divisions as well as general and administrative expenses.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $11.5 million, a decrease of $18.4 million as compared to a net loss for 2020 of $29.8 million for the first half of 2020. For the first half of 2021, the Company reported a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $14.1 million. This compares with a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $13.0 million for the same period in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.0 million, a decrease of 123% as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease is a function of the reasons discussed previously, with primary drivers being lower trucking volumes, salt water disposal volumes and rental equipment utilization in the Rocky Mountain division. The year to date 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin was 2.1%, compared with 7.1% in 2020 driven primarily by declines in revenue partially offset by cost reductions in 2020.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.4 million, mainly attributable to a gain recorded on PPP Loan forgiveness of $(4.0) million, increase of $0.1 million in accounts receivable, increase of $0.7 million in prepaid expenses, while capital expenditures net of asset sales consumed $1.1 million. Asset sales were related to unused or underutilized assets. Gross capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $1.3 million primarily included the purchase of property, plant and equipment as well as expenditures to extend the useful life and productivity of our fleet, equipment and disposal wells.

Total liquidity available as of June 30, 2021 was $12.4 million. This consisted of $7.4 million of cash and $5.0 million available under our operating line of credit. As of June 30, 2021, total debt outstanding was $29.0 million, consisting of $13.0 million under our equipment term loan, $9.7 million under our real estate loan, $0.2 million under our vehicle term loan, $0.1 million for an equipment term loan and $6.9 million of finance leases for vehicle financings and real property leases, less $0.9 million of debt issuance costs.

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.
