HOUSTON, August 13, 2018 – Nine Energy Service, Inc. (“Nine” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NINE) reported second quarter 2018 revenues of $205.5 million, net income of $9.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $30.6 million. Second quarter 2018 revenues increased approximately 18% as compared to the first quarter 2018 revenues of $173.8 million. For the second quarter of 2018, the Company reported net income of $9.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2018. The Company reported second quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $30.6 million, an increase of approximately 27% compared to first quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $24.1 million, and represented the sixth sequential quarterly increase. The Company had provided second quarter 2018 revenue guidance between $185.0 and $195.0 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance between $27.0 and $29.0 million, with actual results outperforming the midpoint of second quarter 2018 revenue guidance by approximately 8% and the midpoint of second quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance by approximately 9%. For the second quarter of 2018, the Company generated an ROIC of 8%, as compared to first quarter 2018 ROIC of 3%.

“The team at Nine continues to execute in the field and drive growth for the Company,” said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nine Energy Service. “We remain focused on offering our customers a unique blend of outstanding wellsite execution and service with a portfolio of innovative and reliable technology to increase efficiencies and decrease cycle time,” said Fox. “With our proven track record, we have been able to gain market share and strategically increase price as seen through the significant growth on the top line of approximately 18% and increasing net income by over five times over the first quarter of 2018. We were also happy to see our ROIC increase by approximately 500 basis points this quarter. ROIC will continue to help guide management on capital deployment decisions moving forward and gauging Company performance.”

“The trends in onshore completions continue to help propel the Completion Solutions Segment across all service lines. Our completion tools and wireline stages grew approximately 30% collectively quarter over quarter despite US land rig count increasing approximately 7% and market stage count growing approximately 8%. Operational efficiencies within Nine continue to improve and help Nine navigate labor bottlenecks with the average stages per employee per month increasing over 40% through the first half of the year,” said Fox.


“We remain positive on the outlook for North American shale and for the company moving forward, anticipating another quarter of both revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth in the third quarter of 2018. This growth will be driven by both completion tools and our completions services, all of which directly benefit from industry trends of more complex completions and multi-pad development,” Fox concluded.

A 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for (i) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) transaction expenses related to acquisitions or the Combination, (iii) loss from discontinued operations, (iv) loss or gains from the revaluation of contingent liabilities, (v) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) loss or gains on sale of assets, (vii) inventory write-down and (viii) adjustment for other expenses or charges, to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business, such as transaction expenses associated with our IPO, legal expenses and settlement costs related to litigation outside the ordinary course of business, and restructuring costs. 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.

B 

ROIC is defined as after-tax net operating profit, divided by average total capital. We define after-tax net operating profit as income (loss) from continuing operations (net of tax) plus interest expense, less taxes on interest. We define total capital as book value of equity plus the book value of debt less balance sheet cash and cash equivalents. We then take the average of the current and prior period-end total capital for use in this analysis. Management believes ROIC is a meaningful measure 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. Management uses ROIC to assist them in capital resource allocation decisions and in evaluating business performance.

C 

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