21
• High Specification Rigs . Provides high-specification (“high-spec”) well service rigs and complementary equipment and services to facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well.
• Wireline Services . Provides services necessary to bring and maintain a well on production and consists of our wireline completion, wireline production and pump down lines of business.
• Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services . Provides other services often utilized in conjunction with our High Specification Rigs and Wireline Services segments. These services include equipment rentals, plug and abandonment, logistics hauling, processing solutions, as well as snubbing and coil tubing.
For additional financial information about our segments, please see “Item 1. Financial Information — Note 16 — Segment Reporting.”
Recent Events and Outlook
The Company recognizes the various global events—including COVID-19, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, rising rates of inflation and the possibility of recession—that have an impact on its operational and financial performance. Significant progress has been made to combat COVID-19 and its multiple variants, however, it remains a global challenge and continues to have an impact on our financial results. The direct impact to our operations began to take affect at the close of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, and has continued through September 30, 2022, however the extent of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s operational and financial performance will significantly depend on further developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and continued impact on our personnel, customer activity and third-party providers. Although commodity prices were lower in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, they, as well as our stock price and operational activity, have improved during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We expect this global market volatility to continue at least until the outbreak of COVID-19, including any new variants, stabilizes, if not longer.
Heightened levels of inflation and the potential worsening of macro-economic conditions, including the possibility of recession, may present a risk for our business, our suppliers and the stability of the broader oil and gas industry. Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, fluctuating demand for oilfield goods and services can put pressure on the pricing structure within our industry. As commodity prices rise, the cost of oilfield goods and services generally also increase, while during periods of commodity price declines, oilfield costs typically lag and do not adjust downward as fast as oil prices do. In addition, the U.S. inflation rate has been steadily increasing since 2021 and into 2022. These inflationary pressures may also result in increases to the costs of our goods, services and personnel, which would in turn cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Sustained levels of high inflation will continue to cause the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, which could have the effects of raining the cost of capital and depressing economic growth, either of which—or the combination thereof—could hurt our business.
The U.S. government implemented a number of programs in the early wake of the impacts of COVID-19, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the largest relief package in U.S. history, and the Main Street Lending Program established by the Federal Reserve. We qualified for limited aid under the CARES Act and have deferred payroll tax payments of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2022 under the CARES Act, which will become due on December 31, 2022.
In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law Number 117-169) into law. This legislation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2022, Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine. The conflict has caused turmoil in global markets, resulting in higher oil prices, and injected even more uncertainty into a worldwide economy recovering from the effects of COVID-19. Given the evolving conflict, there are many unknown factors and events that could materially impact our operations. These events have and continue to impact commodity prices, which could have a material effect on our earnings, cash flows, and financial condition. In the short-term, commodity price fluctuations are highly uncertain. Actual price outcomes will be dependent on the degree to which existing sanctions imposed on Russia, any potential future sanctions, and independent corporate actions affect Russia’s oil production or the sale of Russia’s oil in the global market. In addition, the degree to which other oil producers respond to current oil prices, as well as the effects macroeconomic developments might have on global oil demand, will be important for oil price formation in the coming months.
Financial Metrics
How We Generate Revenues
Rig hours and stage counts, as it relates to our High Specification Rigs and Wireline Services segments, respectively, are important indicators of our activity levels and profitability. The stage count metric has become increasingly important with the update in our external reporting segments. Rig hours represent the aggregate number of hours that our well service rigs actively worked, whereas stage counts represent the number of completed stages during the periods presented. Generally, during the
22
period our services are being provided, our customers are billed on an hourly basis for our high-spec rig services or, as it relates to our wireline services, they are billed upon the earlier of the completion of the well or on a monthly basis. The rates for such rig hours and completed wells at which the customer is billed is generally predetermined based upon a contractual agreement.
Costs of Conducting Our Business
The principal costs associated with conducting our business are personnel, repairs and maintenance, general and administrative, and depreciation expense.
Cost of Services. Our primary costs associated with our cost of services are related to personnel expenses, repairs and maintenance of our fixed assets and, as it relates to our Wireline Services segment, perforating and gun costs. A significant portion of these expenses are variable, and therefore typically managed, based on industry conditions and demand for our services. Further, there is generally a correlation between our revenues generated and personnel and repairs and maintenance costs, which are dependent upon the operational activity.
Personnel costs associated with our operational employees represent a significant cost of our business. A substantial portion of our labor costs is attributable to our field crews and is partly variable based on the requirements of specific customers. A key component of personnel costs relates to the ongoing training of our employees, which improves safety rates and reduces attrition.
General & Administrative. As described above general and administrative expenses are corporate in nature and are included within the Other segment. These costs are not attributable to any of our lines of businesses nor reporting segments.
Operating Income or Loss
We analyze our operating income or loss by segment, which we have defined as revenues less cost of services and depreciation expense. We believe this is a key financial metric as it provides insight on profitability and operational performance based on the historical cost basis of our assets.
Adjusted EBITDA
We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non‑GAAP financial measure, as an important indicator of performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity‑based compensation, acquisition‑related and severance costs, gain and loss on disposal of assets, legal fees and settlements, and other non‑cash and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance. See “—Results of Operations” and “—Note Regarding Non‑GAAP Financial Measure” for more information and reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $95.3 million, or 117%, to $177.0 million from $81.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change in revenues by segment was as follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $49.8 million, or 167%, to $79.7 million from $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in rig services revenue included a 140% increase in total rig hours to 123,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 51,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The average revenue per rig hour increased 11% to $648 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $584 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total segment revenue increase, $40.5 million is attributable to the assets acquired in the Basic Acquisition. The increase in revenue, rig hours and average revenue per rig hour is also related to increased crude oil pricing driving higher levels of oilfield activity.
Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $15.2 million, or 33%, to $60.6 million from $45.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increased wireline services revenue was primarily attributable to completion services of $4.3 million related to increased pricing and the addition of standby charges, offset by a 19% decrease in completed stage counts to 9,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 11,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Additional increased wireline services revenue was attributable to production services of $7.3 million, primarily related to increased pricing and utilization of assets from the acquisition of Patriot and PerfX.
Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $30.3 million, or 473%, to $36.7 million from $6.4 million for the three months ended
24
September 30, 2021. Of the total segment revenue increase, $20.3 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition. The increase in processing solutions and ancillary services is primarily attributable to our coil tubing, equipment rentals and plugging and abandonment services, which amounted to $12.7 million, $9.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $64.1 million, or 87%, to $138.1 million from $74.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 78% and 91% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in cost of services by segment was as follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $37.6 million, or 150% to $62.7 million from $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in variable expenses, notably employee related labor costs and fuel costs, which amounted to $22.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, coupled with a $4.2 million increase in expense related to general operating expenses. Additionally, the increase corresponds with the increase in rig hours and revenues. Of the segment cost of services, $31.9 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition.
Wireline Services. Wireline Services cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $5.2 million, or 12%, to $49.2 million from $44.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Wireline Services cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased from 97% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 81% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increase in revenues attributed to increased utilization of assets from the acquisition of Patriot and PerfX. The increase was primarily attributable to increased employee costs of $3.5 million primarily due to the acquisitions of PerfX and Patriot, and, to a lesser extent, maintenance costs of approximately $2.1 million.
Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $21.3 million, or 435%, to $26.2 million from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased employee and maintenance costs with the upturn in operational activity, which amounted to approximately $9.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Additionally, cost of service expense increased by $3.7 million primarily related to increased activity in our coil tubing and plugging and abandonment services. Of the segment cost of services increase, $16.5 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition.
General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.9 million, or 55%, to $11.0 million from $7.1 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to corporate employee costs added subsequent to the Basic Acquisition and increased professional fees during three months ended September 30, 2022.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.1 million, or 24%, to $10.8 million from $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to assets acquired through the business combinations during the last half of the year ended December 31, 2021. This was partially offset by depreciation expense related to fixed assets disposed of during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.6 million, or 50%, to $1.8 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase to net interest expense was attributable to the increased principal balance on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), higher interest rates on each tranche of the Loan and Security Agreement that closed on September 27, 2021.

Of the total segment revenue increase, $44.9 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition. The increase
26
in processing solutions and ancillary services is primarily attributable to a $26.2 million increase in our coil tubing services, a $23.3 million increase in our equipment rentals services and a $19.2 million in our plugging and abandonment services.
Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $223.9 million, or 147%, to $376.1 million from $152.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 83% and 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in cost of services by segment was as follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $107.2 million, or 157%, to $175.3 million from $68.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in variable expenses, notably employee-related labor costs, repair and maintenance costs, and general operating expenses of $63.9 million, $9.7 million, and $13.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the increase corresponds with the increase in rig hours and revenues. Of the segment cost of services, $87.3 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition.
Wireline Services. Wireline Services cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $64.4 million, or 91%, to $134.8 million from $70.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the wireline business, which includes activity from the acquisition of Patriot and PerfX during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The completion wireline activity accounted for approximately $57.0 million of the segment cost of services increase.
Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $52.3 million, or 382%, to $66.0 million from $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased employee costs and maintenance and repair with the upturn in operational activity, which amounted to $23.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Of the segment cost of services increase, $38.9 million is attributable to the Basic Acquisition.
General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $15.7 million, or 94%, to $32.4 million from $16.7 million.

This was partially offset by depreciation expense related to fixed assets disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $3.2 million, or 128%, to $5.7 million from $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase to net interest expense was attributable to the increased principal balance on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), higher interest rates on each tranche of the Loan and Security Agreement that closed on September 27, 2021, and interest paid on the Secured Promissory Note issued in connection with the PerfX Acquisition.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, gain or loss on disposal of assets, legal fees and settlements, and other non-cash and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash generated from operations and borrowings under our EBC Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, we had total liquidity of $35.7 million, consisting of $5.2 million of cash on hand and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility of $30.5 million.
As of September 30, 2022, our borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility was $57.0 million compared to $37.5 million and $45.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively, as a result of increased operational activity and accounts receivable balances. We strive to maintain financial flexibility and proactively monitor potential capital sources to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements that permit us to manage the cyclicality associated with our business. We currently expect to have sufficient funds to meet the Company’s short and long term liquidity requirements and comply with our covenants of our debt agreements. For further details, see “— Our Debt Agreements.”

Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30, Change
2022 2021 $ %
(in millions)

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 12.5 (5.9) 18.4 312 %
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (26.4) 24.5 (50.9) (208) %
Net change in cash $ 4.6 $ 42.0 $ (37.4) (89) %
Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities decreased $4.9 million to cash provided of $18.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to cash provided of $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in contract assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The use of working capital cash increased $48.5 million to $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to cash generated of $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Investing Activities
Net cash from investing activities increased $18.4 million to a cash provided of $12.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to cash used of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash flows from investing activities is attributable to the significant asset sales that took place during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by fixed asset additions.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities decreased $50.9 million from cash provided of $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash used of $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in cash flows from financing activities is primarily attributable to cash from asset sales and operations being utilized to pay down debt.

Supplemental Disclosures

Working Capital
Our working capital, which we define as total current assets less total current liabilities, was $54.0 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $2.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The increased accounts receivable and contract assets, coupled with assets considered to be held for sale led to the working capital increase.
Our Debt Agreements
Eclipse Loan and Security Agreement
On September 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Eclipse Business Capital LLC (“EBC”) and Eclipse Business Capital SPV, LLC, as administrative agent, providing the Company with a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $77.5 million (the “EBC Credit Facility”), consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a machinery and equipment term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “M&E Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) a term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million (the “Term Loan B Facility”).

Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility was drawn in part on September 27, 2021, to repay the indebtedness under the existing Credit Facility, which was terminated in connection with such repayment, and to pay for the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the EBC Credit Facility. The undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital and other general corporate expenses and for other-permitted uses, including the financing of permitted investments and restricted payments. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base that is calculated based upon a percentage of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable less certain reserves. The Company’s eligible accounts receivable serve as collateral for the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is scheduled to mature in September 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a subjective acceleration clause and cash dominion provisions that permits the administrative agent to sweep cash daily from certain bank accounts into an account of the administrative agent to repay the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowings of the Revolving Credit Facility, therefore, will be classified as Long-term debt, current portion on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the total loan capacity was $57.0 million, which was based on a borrowing base certificate in effect as of September 30, 2022. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $24.9 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving a residual $30.5 million available for borrowings as of September 30, 2022.

The weighted average interest rate for the loan was approximately 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Company capitalized fees of $1.8 million associated with the Revolving Credit Facility, which are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such fees will continue to be amortized through maturity and are included in Interest expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2022 were $1.4 million.
M&E Term Loan Facility
Under the M&E Term Loan Facility, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $11.0 million where the monthly principal installments commenced on March 1, 2022. Borrowings under the M&E Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 8% in excess of the LIBOR Rate and 7% in excess of the Base Rate. The weighted average interest rate for the M&E Term Loan was 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The M&E Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature in September 2025. Any principal amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.
The Company capitalized fees on $0.3 million associated with this M&E Term Loan Facility, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a discount to the Long-term debt, net. Such fees will continue to be amortized through maturity and are included in Interest expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2022 were $0.2 million.
Term Loan B
On October 1, 2021, the Term Loan B, was finalized in connection with the closing of the Basic Acquisition. Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 13% in excess of the LIBOR Rate and 11% in excess of the Base Rate. Term Loan B is scheduled to mature in September 2022. The weighted average interest rate for Term Loan B was 12.4% through the maturity date of August 16, 2022.
On October 1, 2021, the Term Loan B was drawn in full to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and as of September 30, 2022. Principal payments are generated from the proceeds from the sale of Basic assets, and may not be reborrowed. The Company capitalized fees of $0.6 million associated with Term Loan B, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a discount to the Long-term debt, current portion. Such fees will continue to be amortized through maturity and are included in Interest Expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
