C&J Energy Services Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 31, 2013 – C&J Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: CJES) today reported net income of $20.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013, inclusive of an after-tax charge of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with a non-cash inventory write-down related to a decrease in the market value of certain spare parts. Net income was $25.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 and $53.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2012 results included the impact of approximately $0.5 million ($0.01 per diluted share) in transaction costs incurred in connection with the June 7, 2012 acquisition of our wireline business, Casedhole Solutions, net of tax.
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $267.0 million, a decrease of 3% compared to $276.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a decrease of 4% compared to $278.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the second quarter of 2013 was $53.9 million, compared to $57.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $92.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. The declines in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from both the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012 were primarily a result of decreased utilization and highly competitive pricing in our hydraulic fracturing operations.
Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Josh Comstock commented, “We generated solid margins across our business lines as we benefitted from the combined effect of strong performance under legacy term contracts, continued operating efficiencies and judicious cost management. During the quarter, we successfully reduced costs through a number of initiatives, such as disciplined procurement, distribution management and self-sourcing materials to meet our internal needs. Despite the highly competitive environment, which has impacted pricing and activity levels, we have continued to generate significant cash flow. We have reinvested in the growth of our company as we execute on our strategy to diversify our service offerings and expand geographically. In the second quarter, we advanced vertical integration, enhanced our research and technology capabilities, increased our engineering and sales forces and broadened our operational reach.
“Overall, activity levels for our hydraulic fracturing operations decreased quarter over quarter and our results were also impacted by declines in revenue associated with the transition to new pricing structures based on market terms with two of our contracted customers in early May. However, spot pricing remained stable throughout the quarter and we are encouraged by the modest improvement in utilization that we saw in the latter half of the
second quarter. For the third quarter, our exposure to the spot market has increased with the scheduled expiration of a term contract as of June 30th. We remain focused on increasing utilization and growing our customer base by targeting customers who recognize the cost benefits associated with our superior performance and high level of operating efficiency.
“During the second quarter, we also experienced slight softness in our coiled tubing business, primarily due to declines in activity levels by a few of our core customers, as well as temporary disruptions in the Midcontinent and Bakken. Utilization was also impacted by an industry trend toward larger diameter coiled tubing. We are aligning our equipment with this shift in market preference and we believe we are well positioned to support our customers. We are confident in the strength of this division and our ability to improve performance over the remainder of 2013. As we reach our utilization goals with existing equipment and further diversify our customer base, we will add capacity to this division as needed to further expand.
“Our wireline business, Casedhole Solutions, capitalized on the momentum of an outstanding first quarter performance and delivered another quarter of impressive results. Our performance in the Permian and Eagle Ford was exceptionally strong. We continued to increase utilization sequentially as we moved into new operating areas and expanded our customer base, as well as through targeted marketing efforts that captured higher activity levels with current customers. We are excited about the growth of this business and we will continue to add wireline capacity as we expand our customer base and geographic footprint.”
Operational Results
Hydraulic fracturing contributed $160.5 million of revenue and we completed 1,577 fracturing stages during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $173.8 million of revenue and 1,698 fracturing stages for the previous quarter and $216.4 million of revenue and 1,667 fracturing stages for the same quarter last year. Average monthly revenue per unit of horsepower declined to $195 in the second quarter, from $218 in the prior quarter and $307 in the same quarter a year ago. The decline in stages performed and revenue per horsepower from the prior periods primarily resulted from lower activity levels in the second quarter of 2013. Revenue per horsepower was also impacted by lower prices for our services.
Our coiled tubing operations contributed $32.5 million of revenue and completed 944 coiled tubing jobs during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $36.4 million of revenue and 1,057 coiled tubing jobs for the previous quarter. Coiled tubing revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $31.1 million and 866 jobs were completed. The slight decrease in revenue from the first quarter of 2013 resulted from a decline in utilization coupled with increasingly competitive pricing. Revenue and the number of jobs completed improved in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter a year ago due to the addition of new equipment.
Our wireline operations contributed $67.7 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $62.1 million of revenue during the prior quarter. Casedhole Solutions contributed $15.1 million of revenue to our consolidated results for the second quarter of 2012 in the 23 days following the close of the acquisition. Revenues from wireline operations increased from the first quarter of 2013 as a result of improved utilization generated by targeted marketing activities that added customers in new and existing areas of operation and increased utilization by current customers.

Our manufacturing business, Total Equipment, contributed $1.6 million of third-party revenue during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $1.2 million for the previous quarter and $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2012. This division continues to be negatively impacted by the prevailing equipment overcapacity in the domestic onshore completion industry. We have taken advantage of the current slowdown by working to enhance efficiencies in Total Equipment’s throughput process, which we believe will enable us to achieve greater profitability and cash flow savings once the market begins to improve.
Our general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the second quarter of 2013 was $33.6 million, compared to $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. The quarterly increase was due to costs associated with the growth of our business, including vertical integration efforts across our service lines, the build-out of our research and technology capabilities and geographic expansion. During the second quarter, we completed a review of our SG&A expenses and determined that certain of these costs are more appropriately reflected in direct costs on our consolidated statements of operations. This reclassification has been applied consistently to all periods presented in this news release.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter of 2013 increased to $17.9 million from $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2013, we had $155.0 million in borrowings outstanding, along with $0.7 million in letters of credit under our $400 million revolving credit facility, and we currently have $150.0 million in borrowings outstanding. The facility matures in April 2016 and our current cost of borrowings is less than 3%. Our debt to total capitalization was approximately 19% as of June 30, 2013. Our strong cash flow has allowed us to delever our balance sheet and take advantage of growth opportunities.
Capital expenditures totaled $42.0 million during the second quarter of 2013, the majority of which consisted of construction costs for new coiled tubing and wireline equipment, as well as modification and maintenance costs for our coiled tubing and hydraulic fracturing equipment. Our remaining 2013 capital expenditures are expected to range from $40.0 million to $50.0 million, which we intend to fund with cash flows from operations. The increase in 2013 planned capital expenditures is due to the addition of new wireline capacity and related infrastructure, as well as new equipment to support our existing coiled tubing and hydraulic fracturing operations.
Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported net income of $46.0 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, on revenues of $543.0 million, compared to net income of $102.7 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, on revenues of $517.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included an after-tax charge of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with a non-cash inventory write-down related to a decrease in the market value of certain spare parts. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included approximately $0.5 million ($0.01 per diluted share) in transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Casedhole Solutions, net of tax.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported Adjusted EBITDA of $111.2 million compared to $176.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Capital expenditures for the period totaled $79.5 million, the majority of which was for new equipment.

| (1) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain or loss on disposal of assets, transaction costs and non-routine items including loss on early extinguishment of debt, legal settlement charge and inventory write-down. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results. |
