-- Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations Up 22.5% Sequentially to $28.0 Million --

-- Energy Industry Financial Leader William M. Austin Appointed to Board of Directors --

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (November 6, 2014) - Nuverra Environmental Solutions (NYSE: NES) (“Nuverra” or “the Company”), a leading provider of full-cycle environmental solutions to the energy and industrial end-markets, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Third-Quarter Summary

Shale solutions revenue from continuing operations of $139.6 million, up 10.1% sequentially, 5.9% year-over-year.
Net loss from continuing operations of ($99.4) million, including a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $100.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $28.0 million, up 22.5% sequentially, 27.6% year-over-year.
$9.9 million of operating income from continuing operations before the goodwill impairment charge.

Mark D. Johnsrud, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with our overall operating performance in the third quarter, with increases in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and margins. In addition, operating income before the non-cash goodwill impairment charge was $9.9 million. Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.1% on continuing operations represented an increase of more than 200 basis points sequentially and 340 basis points year-over-year and reflects our focus on initiatives to drive efficiency through better utilization of our people and equipment, in addition to effective pricing and increased sales activities.”

Mr. Johnsrud continued, “Our teams across the basins are concentrating on day-to-day operating activities to bring comprehensive solutions to our customers. By focusing on vertically integrating across all service lines to serve customers through the entire life cycle of their wells, we can create the operational leverage to maximize labor and equipment utilization and expand margins.”

Third-Quarter 2014 Financial Overview

Revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $139.6 million, compared with $126.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $131.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. Including results from Thermo Fluids Inc. (“TFI”), which is classified as a discontinued operation, revenue for the third quarter was $170.5 million, compared with $156.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $162.6 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $28.0 million, compared with $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $22.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. Including TFI, adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $31.4 million, compared with $25.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $25.1 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Growth in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the third quarter resulted from increased customer activities, enhanced operating performance, improved utilization of labor and equipment, and effective pricing. In all operating divisions, third-quarter adjusted EBITDA and margins improved on a sequential basis.    

The Company generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $12.9 million ($17.7 million including TFI) year-to-date through September 30, 2014. Year-to-date net cash capital expenditures from continuing operations was $33.7 million, primarily relating to construction of the Company’s new facility for drilling solids in the Bakken Shale area.

On September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million. Total debt was $577.3 million ($576.7 million, net of unamortized discount and premium), including $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes, $161.5 million drawn under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility and $15.8 million in capital leases.

During the third quarter, the Company completed a previously announced organizational realignment of its shale solutions business into three operating divisions: (1) the Northeast Division, which includes the Marcellus and Utica Shale areas, (2) the Southern Division, which includes the Haynesville, Eagle Ford, Mississippian, Permian and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale areas, and (3) the Rocky Mountain Division, which includes the Bakken Shale area. This change in operating segments, along with other factors, required the Company to conduct an interim impairment test of the goodwill allocated to the new operating divisions. The resulting $100.7 million pre-tax, non-cash charge represented a write-down of the carrying value of goodwill associated with the Northeast and Southern divisions.

Division Highlights

Rocky Mountain Division (Bakken)

Rocky Mountain Division revenue was up 13.1% sequentially in the third quarter to $87.6 million, compared to $77.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a year-over-year basis, revenue increased 17.0% when compared to 2013. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher trucking logistics, water disposal and solids disposal volumes.

Rental revenue in the Bakken was flat sequentially, primarily due to a persistent oversupply of rental assets in the region. To improve the utilization of its rental fleet, the Company implemented a number of initiatives, including adding resources to its sales team, and providing additional support specific to rental package sales efforts.

Northeast Division (Marcellus/Utica)

Northeast Division revenue increased 14.6% on a sequential basis to $25.8 million, compared to $22.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.

The increase was primarily due to sequential increases in trucking logistics services and disposal volumes. Activities continued to increase in October, with one of the Company’s largest customers in the region adding a third dedicated frac crew.

Southern Division (Haynesville/Eagle Ford/Mississippian/Permian/TMS)

Southern Division revenue was essentially flat sequentially at $26.3 million, compared to $26.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a year-over-year basis, Southern Division revenue was down by 8.5% when compared with the third quarter of 2013.

Despite a slight decline in revenue in the Haynesville Shale area due to a gradual shift in business from produced water transportation to servicing drilling and completion activities, increases in pipeline volumes and disposal well volumes in the third quarter led to overall improved financial performance.

In the Eagle Ford, operations continued to meet increasing customer activities and benefitted from improved labor and equipment utilization.

William M. Austin Appointed to Board of Directors

Nuverra has appointed William M. Austin, 68, to its Board of Directors, replacing Andrew D. Seidel. Mr. Austin has been a senior financial executive in the energy industry for more than 30 years, and is currently President of Austin Lee Ventures, a Houston-based investment company.
 
Previously, he was Senior Vice President and Director of Exterran GP, LLC, and Senior Vice President and CFO of Valerus Compression Services, LP, both natural gas service companies. Prior to that, he was Senior Vice President and CFO of Key Energy Services, a leading oilfield services company. Earlier in his career Mr. Austin was a Managing Director of Bankers Trust Co., serving in the Leveraged Buyout group and as head of the Energy Group in Houston for 10 years.

“Bill is a recognized leader in our industry and an outstanding addition to our Board,” said Mr. Johnsrud. “His financial expertise and industry knowledge will be an important resource in shaping our strategies as we focus on continuously improving our financial performance.”

TFI Update

The Company provided an update on the ongoing process to divest TFI, disclosing that it has been in discussions with multiple interested parties. Based on these discussions and a non-binding letter of intent executed with one prospective buyer, the Company recorded a charge related to TFI of $49.0 million, which included a $45.5 million non-cash reduction in goodwill, as well as $3.5 million in estimated transaction costs.

Business Outlook

Mr. Johnsrud provided commentary on the Company’s outlook for the fourth quarter of 2014 and into 2015 in light of the recent decline in crude oil prices and the potential impact to future activity levels.

“We are pleased with our third-quarter performance and the steady level of activities that continued through October as we remain highly focused on continuing to improve operational efficiencies and utilization,” Mr. Johnsrud said. “Our largest customers are signaling that at current price levels their capital spending plans will remain as planned for 2015. Therefore, we expect increased activity in 2015.
“We also expect our growth investments to begin contributing in 2015, particularly related to the start-up of the new solids management facility in the Bakken. We believe that the recent actions we have taken to improve operating efficiencies will position us well for 2015.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release 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

non-recurring charges, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," “confident,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in the press release include, without limitation, forecasts of growth, revenues, business activity, adjusted EBITDA, pipeline and solids treatment initiatives, and landfill and treatment facility activities, as well as statements regarding possible divestitures, timing of such divestitures, acquisitions, financings, business growth and expansion opportunities, availability of capital, ability to access capital markets, and other matters that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied by this press release. Such risk factors include, among others: 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, including risks that such transactions may fail to close due to unsatisfied closing conditions; 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; low oil and or natural gas prices; changes in customer drilling and completion activities and capital expenditure plans; shifts in production among shale areas in which we operate and/or into shale areas in which we currently do not have operations; control of costs and expenses; and the competitive and regulatory environment.
