Nine Energy Service Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

  • Revenue, net loss and adjusted EBITDAA of $161.4 million, $(2.5) million and $21.7 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023
  • For the second quarter of 2023 the Company generated ROICB of 12.9%
  • Total liquidity position of $60.1 million as of June 30, 2023

Nine Energy Service, Inc. ("Nine" or the "Company") (NYSE: NINE) reported second quarter 2023 revenues of $161.4 million, net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share and $(0.08) per basic share, and adjusted EBITDA of $21.7 million. The Company had provided original second quarter 2023 revenue guidance between $158.0 and $166.0 million, with actual results coming within the provided range.

“Second quarter results were in-line with expectations and revenue came within our original guidance,” said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nine Energy Service.

“We continued to see activity declines in Q2. Since the peak rig-count in early December of 2022, the rig count has declined by approximately 14% through the end of Q2. These rig declines have resulted in pricing pressure affecting all service lines. Activity and pricing declines have been strongest in the natural gas-levered basins, but we are seeing some impact in the oil driven plays as well.”

“Cementing operations in the Haynesville and Eagle Ford were impacted by the 27% rig count decline in the first half of 2023. However, even with the U.S. rig count decline of approximately 14% through the first half of the year, our total jobs completed in Q2 2023, only declined by approximately 2% compared to Q1 2023. Completion tool revenue increased this quarter, due in large part to a sizeable international order. North American completion tool revenue was down this quarter, impacted by lower activity levels in dissolvable-rich plays like the Haynesville. Even with a declining market, we have sold approximately 50% more StingerTM Dissolvable units in the first half of 2023, versus the first half of 2022.”

“The market remains volatile, but we are cautiously optimistic that the rig count will reach a bottom during the third quarter, and we could begin to see rigs being added back into the market starting in early 2024. Due to the spot-market nature of the Nine business, our financial results move closely with U.S. rig and frac crew activity levels. Activity levels in Q3 are expected to be down, and we continue to see pricing pressure from customers. As a result of this, we expect Q3 revenue and earnings to be down sequentially to Q2.”

“We have a very strong team with a long tenure together allowing us to effectively manage through this volatility. We are always focused on developing and looking for new technology, and we will continue to pursue increasing our market share both in the North American land and international markets. We have demonstrated our ability to navigate these sharp cycles, and proven we are able to capitalize very quickly on an improving market.”

Operating Results

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported revenues of $161.4 million, gross profit of $24.2 million and adjusted gross profitC of $34.0 million. During the second quarter, the Company generated ROIC of 12.9%.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported general and administrative expense of $14.2 million. Depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter of 2023 was $10.3 million.

The Company’s tax provision was approximately $0.2 million year to date through June 30, 2023. The provision for 2023 is the result of our tax position in state and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $27.1 million. Capital expenditures totaled $7.3 million during the second quarter of 2023 and totaled $12.3 million for the first half of 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, Nine’s cash and cash equivalents were $41.1 million, and the Company had $19.0 million of availability under the revolving credit facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $60.1 million as of June 30, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company had $72.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

AAdjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) fees and expenses relating to our units offering and other refinancing activities, (iv) loss or gain on revaluation of contingent liabilities, (v) loss or gain on the extinguishment of debt, (vi) loss or gain on the sale of subsidiaries, (vii) restructuring charges, (viii) stock-based compensation and cash award expense, (ix) loss or gain on sale of property and equipment, and (x) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business, such as legal expenses and settlement costs related to litigation outside the ordinary course of business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure and helps identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the impairments, acquisitions and dispositions and costs that are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business.

BReturn on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is defined as after-tax net operating profit (loss), divided by average total capital. We define after-tax net operating profit (loss) as net income (loss) plus (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) fees and expenses relating to our units offering and other refinancing activities, (iv) interest expense (income), (v) restructuring charges, (vi) loss (gain) on the sale of subsidiaries, (vii) loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, and (viii) the provision (benefit) for deferred income taxes. We define total capital as book value of equity (deficit) plus the book value of debt less balance sheet cash and cash equivalents. We compute the average of the current and prior period-end total capital for use in this analysis. Management believes ROIC provides useful information because it quantifies how well we generate operating income relative to the capital we have invested in our business and illustrates the profitability of a business or project taking into account the capital invested.

CAdjusted Gross Profit (Loss) is defined as revenues less cost of revenues excluding depreciation and amortization. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit (loss) because we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization, which represent non-cash expenses. Our management uses adjusted gross profit (loss) to evaluate operating performance. We prepare adjusted gross profit (loss) to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization because we do not consider depreciation and amortization indicative of our core operating performance.
