−Removed: Revolving Credit Facility
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, our revolving credit facility contained two financial covenants:
−Removed: a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0 to 1.0) and a maximum leverage ratio (4.0 to 1.0).
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility.
−Removed: However, we believe that our adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters would have resulted in a breach of the maximum leverage ratio and/or the interest coverage ratio as early as the end of the first quarter of 2020 if we did not receive payments due from PREPA before the end of such quarter.
−Removed: As we believe that such payments from PREPA are unlikely to be received by March 31, 2020, on February 26, 2020, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) amend our financial covenants, (ii) decrease the maximum revolving advance amount from $185 million to $130 million, (iii) decrease the amount that the maximum revolving advance can be increased to (the accordion) from $350 million to $180 million, (iv) increase the applicable margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum in the case of the alternate base rate and from 3.00% to 3.50% per annum in the case of LIBOR, (v) increase the aggregate amount of permitted asset dispositions, and (vi) permit certain sale-leaseback transactions.

+Added: While many of the stay-at-home orders have expired, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis and a swift and unprecedented reduction in international and U.S.
+Added: economic activity which, in turn, has adversely affected, and continues to adversely affect, the demand for oil and natural gas and caused significant volatility and disruption of the capital and financial markets.
+Added: In March and April 2020, concurrent with the spread of COVID-19 and quarantine orders in the U.S.
+Added: and worldwide, oil prices dropped sharply to below zero for the first time in history due to factors including significantly reduced demand and a shortage of storage facilities.
+Added: While OPEC members and certain other nations agreed in April 2020 to cut production and subsequently extended such production cuts through December 2020, which helped to reduce a portion of the excess supply in the market and improve crude oil prices, they agreed to increase production by 500,000 barrels per day beginning in January 2021.
+Added: As a result, downward pressure on commodity prices could continue for the foreseeable future.
+Added: We cannot predict if, or when, commodity prices will stabilize and at what price points and when global inventories will return to normalized levels.
+Added: Beginning in early March 2020, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the depressed commodity prices, many exploration and production companies, including our customers, immediately began to substantially reduce their capital expenditure budgets.
+Added: As a result, demand for our oilfield services, which was already under considerable pressure from reductions in our customers' capital expenditure budgets in 2019, declined further at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and continued to decline further throughout the remainder of 2020.
+Added: Demand for both gasoline and oil rebounded to some extent toward the end of the second quarter of 2020 and stabilized to some degree throughout the second half of 2020, but remains below historical levels.
+Added: As a result, depressed levels of oilfield service activity are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
+Added: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the broad reduction in economic activity, the current conditions in the energy industry and the adverse macroeconomic conditions have also had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse effect on both pricing and utilization for our oilfield services.
+Added: We have taken, and continue to take, responsible steps to protect the health and safety of our employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: We are also actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the adverse industry and market conditions and have taken mitigating steps to preserve liquidity, reduce costs and lower capital expenditures.
+Added: These actions have included reducing headcount, adjusting pay and limiting spending.
+Added: We will continue to take further actions that we deem to be in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders if the current conditions continue, do not improve or worsen.
+Added: Given the dynamic nature of these events, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the depressed commodity markets, the reduced demand for oil and oilfield services and adverse macroeconomic conditions on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price or the pace or extent of any subsequent recovery.

−Removed: We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industries depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.
