Third Quarter 2018 Financial Summary
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $434.0 million, or 6% lower than $459.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased volumes of local sand.

Costs of services excluding depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $320.1 million from $351.9 million during the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to increased volumes of local sand. As a percentage of pressure pumping segment revenues, pressure pumping costs of services decreased to 73.9% from 76.7% in the second quarter of 2018.
General and administrative expense was $12.8 million as compared to $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 totaled $46.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, versus $39.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
