FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This information contained herein includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Actual results may differ materially from results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, difficulties encountered in acquiring and integrating businesses; uncertainties in evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for potential impairment; potential impact of litigation; risks of successfully consummating expected transactions within the timeframes or on the terms contemplated; uncertainty relating to successful negotiation, execution and consummation of all necessary definitive agreements in connection with our strategic initiatives; whether certain markets grow as anticipated; pricing pressures; risks associated with our indebtedness; current and projected future uncertainties in commodities markets, including low oil and/or natural gas prices; changes in customer drilling and completion activities and capital expenditure plans; shifts in production in shale areas where we operate and/or shale areas where we currently do not have operations; control of costs and expenses; and the competitive and regulatory environment. Additional risks and uncertainties are disclosed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as well as Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

This presentation 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 maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management 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), adjusted net income (loss) per share, and operating working capital, in addition to related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company’s management.

Water Midstream Growth Strategy

Strategic focus on integrated water midstream solutions as U.S. basins mature and evolve from exploration to “manufacturing” operations; increasing water volumes from advanced completion technologies

Cost-efficient, permanent infrastructure; on average, 30-50% lower operating costs vs. traditional transportation/disposal

Longer-term, fixed-price contracts drive more revenue stability

Potential for significant future organic growth opportunities

Spending on water-related completion activities across seven major U.S. shale plays is expected to grow to $6.9B by 2020.

“Some of the largest independent U.S. oil and gas companies are spending now to save money on water later.” – Wall Street Journal, May 6, 2015

Summary & Conclusion

Q2 2015 continues to be challenging

U.S. drilling activity undergoing unprecedented declines

Priority is to meet customers’ needs, operate efficiently and within cash flow

Estimating mid- to high-teens sequential decline in revenue in Q2.

Actions to streamline operations in 2015

Annual cost savings up $10M to $30-$35M, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Redirecting focus to long-term, customer production activities

~50% of 2015 revenues production-related

Flexibility to modify business mix as environment requires

Disciplined Capital Deployment

2015 net cash CapEx of $10-$15M, subject to N.D. midstream project

Longer-term transformation to build water midstream business
