Nine Energy Service Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results
| • | Total liquidity position of $85.4 million as of June 30, 2021 |
|---|---|
| • | Revenue, net loss and adjusted EBITDA^A^ of<br>$84.8 million, $(24.5) million and $(0.4) million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021 |

| • | Second quarter basic loss per share of $(0.81) |
| --- | --- |
HOUSTON – Nine Energy Service, Inc. (“Nine” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NINE) reported second quarter 2021 revenues of $84.8 million, net loss of $(24.5) million, or $(0.81) basic loss per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $(0.4) million. For the second quarter 2021, adjusted net loss^B^ was $(23.8) million, or $(0.78) adjusted basic loss per share^C^.
The Company had provided original second quarter 2021 revenue guidance between $78.0 and $86.0 million, with actual results exceeding the midpoint of second quarter 2021 revenue guidance and representing a sequential revenue increase of approximately 27% quarter over quarter.
“Q2 revenue was mostly in-line with what we anticipated, falling in the upper range of Management’s original guidance due mostly to stronger activity levels across all of our service lines,” said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nine Energy Service. “During the quarter, we wrote-down $2.4 million of tools inventory as we replace legacy tools and transition customers to our newest technology, which negatively impacted our operating results, including adjusted EBITDA.”
“We saw moderate activity increases throughout the quarter, with June being one of our strongest months from a revenue perspective since Q1 2020. Activity in the gassy regions, specifically the Haynesville and Northeast remained steady, with most of the activity growth coming out of the Permian. Pricing remains depressed, but we have begun implementing net price increases within our cementing and coiled tubing service lines. We continue to navigate cost inflation and finding and retaining qualified labor is our largest challenge today.”
“Our dissolvable plug continues to perform very well. This quarter, we increased the total number of Dissolvable Stingers sold by over 40% quarter over quarter, while EIA reported US completions increased by only 19%. The efficiency and ESG benefits of dissolvable plugs continue to be better understood by our customers, helping to drive adoption.”
“Despite very supportive oil prices, our public customers remain committed to capital discipline, and because of this, we anticipate only moderate activity increases for the remainder of 2021. We still expect Q3 will be better than Q2 with double-digit sequential revenue increases.”
Operating Results
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported revenues of $84.8 million with gross loss of $(2.8) million and adjusted gross profit^D^ of $8.2 million. During the second quarter, the Company generated ROIC^E^ of (23)%.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $12.2 million, compared to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. Depreciation and amortization expense (“D&A”) in the second quarter of 2021 was $11.5 million, compared to $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2021.
The Company’s tax provision for the second quarter of 2021 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million year to date. The provision for the year is primarily attributable to state and non-U.S. income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Expenditures
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported net cash used in operating activities of $(19.6) million, compared to $(5.2) million for the first quarter of 2021. **** Capital expenditures totaled $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2021 bringing the total spent year-to-date as of June 30, 2021 to $2.8 million.
As of June 30, 2021, Nine’s cash and cash equivalents were $33.1 million, and the Company had $52.3 million of availability under the revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn, resulting in a total liquidity position of $85.4 million as of June 30, 2021.

| ^C^ | Adjusted Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share is defined as adjusted net income (loss), divided by weighted average<br>basic shares outstanding. Management believes Adjusted Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and help<br>identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the impairments and acquisitions. | |||||

| ^D^ | Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) is defined as revenues less cost of revenues excluding depreciation and<br>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<br>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<br>operating performance. | |||||

| ^E^ | Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is defined as after-tax<br>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<br>impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) interest expense (income), (iv) restructuring charges, (v) loss (gain) on the sale of subsidiaries, (vi) loss (gain) on extinguishment of<br>debt, and (vii) the provision (benefit) for deferred income taxes. We define total capital as book value of equity 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<br>business and illustrates the profitability of a business or project taking into account the capital invested. Management uses ROIC to assist them in making capital resource allocation decisions and in evaluating business performance.<br> | |||||
