$0.72 per share in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the
third quarter of 2017.
Overview and Outlook
Key’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Rob
Saltiel, stated, “Since joining Key in August, I have visited each
of the regions where we operate, meeting with our employees and our
clients. It is clear to me that Key has a talented and dedicated
employee base, and I am excited about our future growth
opportunities. I have also taken steps to refine our organization
in order to increase corporate connectivity to our field
operations, reduce unnecessary layers, and improve our cost
structure.
While our third quarter results were impacted by
a loss of market share in one of our regions and lower activity in
our completions-driven coiled tubing services, demand for our
production-related services continues to increase, particularly in
the Permian Basin where we had another quarter of growth. Further
growth in the Permian and in other markets has been constrained by
a tight labor market as we seek the right employees to deliver the
high quality services that our clients expect.”
Saltiel continued, “Conversations with our
clients regarding 2019 plans suggest increasing demand for both
production-related and completion-related services over 2018
activity levels as their budgets factor in higher oil prices and a
moderation of pipeline constraints in the Permian Basin.”

Segment Results
Third quarter 2018 Rig Services revenues of
$77.1 million were down 4.1% as compared to second quarter 2018
revenues of $80.5 million, with rig hours declining approximately
3.5% to 180,943 hours. The decline in revenues was a result of a
loss of business in California. The segment generated operating
income of $4.5 million (5.8% of revenues) and adjusted EBITDA of
$11.9 million (15.4% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2018 as
compared to operating income of $8.1 million (10.0% of revenue) and
adjusted EBITDA of $15.9 million (19.9% of revenue) in the second
quarter of 2018. Cost inefficiencies and lower revenues associated
with the lost business in California, along with costs associated
with a vehicular incident in the third quarter, resulted in the
lower operating income and margin quarter on quarter.
Third quarter 2018 Fishing & Rental Services
revenues of $17.5 million were up 6.0% as compared to second
quarter 2018 revenues of $16.5 million. The segment generated an
operating loss of $1.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million
(25.7% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to
operating loss of $2.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million
(21.6% of revenue) in the second quarter of 2018. Third quarter
2018 Fishing & Rental Services margins improved on higher
fishing activity, completions related rentals and improved
pricing.
Third quarter 2018 Coiled Tubing Services
revenues of $18.2 million declined 23.7% as compared to second
quarter 2018 revenue of $23.9 million on lower utilization of large
diameter coiled tubing units during the third quarter of 2018
largely as a result of completions schedules. The segment generated
operating income of $0.4 million (2.3% of revenue) and adjusted
EBITDA of $1.8 million (10.1% of revenue) in the third quarter of
2018 as compared to operating income of $3.1 million and adjusted
EBITDA of $4.3 million (17.9% of revenue) in the second quarter of
2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company averaged
approximately 5 large diameter units working as compared to
approximately 6 in the prior quarter. Coiled Tubing Services
margins declined largely due to the lower activity and associated
labor inefficiencies.
Third quarter 2018 Fluid Management Services
revenues of $21.9 million declined 7.3% as compared to the second
quarter 2018 revenues of $23.6 million. Third quarter truck hours
declined 8.3% quarter on quarter with revenue per truck hour
increasing approximately 1.1%. Truck hours fell largely due to
lower demand for services associated with completion activities,
primarily in the Permian Basin and shortages of qualified drivers.
The segment generated an operating loss of $2.8 million and
adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million (7.3% of revenue) in the third
quarter of 2018 as compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million
and adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million (14.2% of revenue) in the
second quarter of 2018. The quarter on quarter decline was due
largely to lower activity.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General and Administrative (G&A) expenses
were $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $22.9
million in the prior quarter. Third quarter 2018 G&A expenses
included $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense as
compared to $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for
the second quarter of 2018 due to a gain upon the cancellation of
stock-based compensation from the resignation of Key's former Chief
Executive Officer. G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2018
include $1.2 million of costs associated with executive
changes.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2018, Key had total
liquidity of $72.8 million, consisting of $43.3 million in
unrestricted cash and $29.5 million of borrowing capacity available
under the Company’s $100.0 million asset-based loan facility. This
compares to total liquidity of $90.6 million at June 30, 2018,
consisting of $52.3 million in unrestricted cash and $38.3 million
of borrowing capacity available under the Company’s $100.0 million
asset-based loan facility. The Company has no outstanding
borrowings under its $100.0 million asset-based loan facility.
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2018 were $11.3
million and $28.5 for the first nine months of 2018.

“EBITDA” is defined as income or loss
attributable to Key before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is EBITDA as further adjusted
for certain non-recurring or extraordinary items such as impairment
expense, severance expense, loss on debt extinguishment, gains or
losses on asset sales, asset retirements and impairments, and
certain non-recurring transaction or other costs.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures
that are used as supplemental financial measures by the Company’s
management and directors and by external users of the Company’s
financial statements, such as investors, to assess:
- The financial performance of the Company’s assets without
regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost
basis;
- The ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient
to pay interest on its indebtedness;
- The Company’s operating performance and return on invested
capital as compared to those of other companies in the well
services industry, without regard to financing methods and capital
structure; and
- The Company’s operating trends underlying the items that tend
to be of a non-recurring nature.
Normalized operating loss is a non-GAAP
financial measure and is defined as operating loss plus or minus
certain items such as impairment expense, severance expense, FCPA
settlement costs and FCPA investigation costs. Normalized
operating loss is used as a supplemental financial measure by the
Company’s management and directors and by external users of the
Company’s financial statements, such as investors, primarily to
compare the Company’s core operating and financial performance from
period to period without regard to the many non-cash accounting
charges or unusual expenses that have impacted the Company’s GAAP
operating income and net income due to the severe downturn in the
company’s business.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating
income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash
flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial
performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating income exclude some, but
not all, items that affect net income and operating income and
these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations in using
normalized operating loss as an analytical tool include that
normalized operating loss excludes certain cash costs and losses
actually incurred by the Company. Limitations to using EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include:
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect Key’s current or
future requirements for capital expenditures or capital
commitments;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash
requirements necessary to service, interest or principal payments
on Key’s debt;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income taxes;
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- Other companies in Key’s industry may calculate EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA differently than Key does, limiting their
usefulness as a comparative measure; and
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a different calculation from
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as
defined for purposes of the financial covenants in the Company’s
senior secured credit facility, and therefore should not be relied
upon for assessing compliance with covenants.
Forward-Looking StatementsThis
press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Statements that are not historical in nature or that relate to
future events and conditions are, or may be deemed to be,
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based on Key’s current expectations, estimates and projections and
its management’s beliefs and assumptions concerning future events
and financial trends affecting its financial condition and results
of operations. In some cases, you can identify these statements by
terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “expects,”
“believes,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or
the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions and are subject to substantial
risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of performance.
Future actions, events and conditions and future results of
operations may differ materially from those expressed in these
statements. In evaluating those statements, you should carefully
consider the information above as well as the risks outlined in
“Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in Key’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2017 and in other reports Key files
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Key undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
press release except as required by law. All of Key’s written and
oral forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by these
cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may
accompany such forward-looking statements.
Important factors that may affect Key’s expectations, estimates
or projections include, but are not limited to, the following:
conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, especially oil and
natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas
companies; volatility in oil and natural gas prices; Key’s ability
to implement price increases or maintain pricing on its core
services; risks that Key may not be able to reduce, and could even
experience increases in, the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and
supplies employed in its businesses; industry capacity; asset
impairments or other charges; the periodic low demand for Key’s
services and resulting operating losses and negative cash flows;
Key’s highly competitive industry as well as operating risks, which
are primarily self-insured, and the possibility that its insurance
may not be adequate to cover all of its losses or liabilities;
significant costs and potential liabilities resulting from
compliance with applicable laws, including those resulting from
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, specifically
those relating to hydraulic fracturing, as well as climate change
legislation or initiatives; Key’s historically high employee
turnover rate and its ability to replace or add workers, including
executive officers and skilled workers; Key’s ability to incur debt
or long-term lease obligations; Key’s ability to implement
technological developments and enhancements; severe weather impacts
on Key’s business, including hurricane activity; Key’s ability to
successfully identify, make and integrate acquisitions and its
ability to finance future growth of its operations or future
acquisitions; Key’s ability to achieve the benefits expected from
disposition transactions; the loss of one or more of Key’s larger
customers; Key’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet
debt service obligations; the amount of Key’s debt and the
limitations imposed by the covenants in the agreements governing
its debt, including its ability to comply with covenants under its
current debt agreements; an increase in Key’s debt service
obligations due to variable rate indebtedness; Key’s inability to
achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational
projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue
and/or operating income and its inaccurate assessment of future
activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability which may
not materialize (whether for Key as a whole or for geographic
regions and/or business segments individually); Key’s ability to
respond to changing or declining market conditions, including Key’s
ability to reduce the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies
employed and used in its businesses; Key’s ability to maintain
sufficient liquidity; the adverse impact of litigation; and other
factors affecting Key’s business described in “Item 1A. Risk
Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017, and other reports Key files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
