C&J ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Business
C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“C&J” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of well construction, well completion, well support and other complementary oilfield services to oil and gas exploration and production ("E&P") companies throughout the continental United States. The Company offers a comprehensive suite of services throughout the life cycle of the well, including hydraulic fracturing, cased-hole wireline and pumpdown, cementing, coiled tubing, rig services, fluids management and other completion and well support services. The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and operates across all active onshore basins in the continental United States.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation . The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 , and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2018 , are derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 , which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Reclassifications . Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported results of operations, stockholders' equity, comprehensive income or cash flows.
Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, inventory reserves, litigation reserves, actuarial insurance reserves, income taxes, share-based compensation and right-of-use asset and lease liability. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents . For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash is defined as cash on-hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured amounts. Management believes that this risk is not significant. Cash balances related to the Company's captive insurance subsidiaries, which totaled $13.3 million and $19.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, and the Company expects to use these cash balances to fund the day to day operations of the captive insurance subsidiaries and to settle future anticipated claims.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts . Accounts receivable are generally stated at the amount billed to customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts

are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future.
Inventories . Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using a weighted average cost flow method. Inventories for the Company consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, including equipment components, chemicals, proppants, supplies and materials for the Company's operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment . Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. Refurbishments are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
PP&E are evaluated on a quarterly basis to identify events or changes in circumstances (“triggering events”) that indicate the carrying value of certain PP&E may not be recoverable. PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount of the assets are not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of assets grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets with such cash flows to be realized over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group, excluding interest expense. The Company determined the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are independent of other asset groups to be primarily at the service line level. The Company's asset groups consist of well support services, fracturing, cased-hole wireline and pumpdown services, cementing and coiled tubing. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows for a given asset group is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is determined by comparing the estimated fair value with the carrying value of the related assets. The impairment loss is then allocated across the asset group's major classifications. No impairment charge was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets . Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when a triggering event occurs. With the exception of the C&J trade name, these intangibles, along with PP&E, are reviewed for impairment when a triggering event indicates that the asset group may have a net book value in excess of recoverable value. In these cases, the Company performs a recoverability test on its PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets by comparing the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of these assets to the carrying amount of the assets for recoverability. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment does not exist, and a loss will not be recognized. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are not recoverable, and the amount of impairment must be determined by fair valuing the assets. The C&J trade name is a corporate asset and is reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event by comparing the carrying amount of the corporate assets with the remaining cash flows available, after taking into consideration the lower level asset groups that benefit from the C&J trade name. See Note 5 - Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
for further discussion.
Deferred Financing Costs . Costs incurred to obtain revolver based financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Costs incurred to obtain non-revolver based debt financing are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the term debt, consistent with debt discounts, and accreted over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

C&J ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
N OTES TO C ONSOLIDATED F INANCIAL S TATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Leases . The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases and its related updates as codified under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases ("ASC 842") effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Under this transition method, leases existing at, or entered into after the adoption date, are required to be recognized and measured. The Company has elected to use the effective date as its date of initial application. Consequently, prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with historical accounting treatment. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which permits them not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate the nonlease components from the associated lease components for all classes of underlying assets, as well as the short-term lease recognition exemption. The Company has determined that certain of its service contracts contain lease components, and determined that the predominant component within the contract is the service component and is therefore accounted for under the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease or includes a lease at contract inception. ASC 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term. For leases that include options to extend, the Company assesses the likelihood of utilizing those options using a threshold of reasonably certain to renew. For leases where the Company is reasonably certain to renew, those option periods are included within the lease term and, therefore, within the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. Certain lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. In order to apply the incremental borrowing rate, a portfolio approach with a collateralized rate was utilized. Assets are grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner whereby the Company reasonably expects that the application does not differ materially from a lease-by-lease approach. See Note 2 - Leases for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition . Revenue is recognized in a manner reflecting the transfer of goods or services to customers based on consideration a company expects to receive. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The five-step model requires management to exercise judgment when evaluating contracts and recognizing revenue. See Note 3 - Revenue Recognition for further discussion.
Share-Based Compensation . The Company’s share-based compensation plan provides the ability to grant equity awards to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors. As of March 31, 2019 , only nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, performance stock and restricted share units had been granted under such plans. The fair value of restricted share grants and restricted share units is based on the closing price of C&J’s common stock on the grant date. The Company values option grants based on the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the Company values performance awards with market conditions based on the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation, both of which require the use of subjective assumptions. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award and makes estimates of employee terminations and forfeiture rates which impacts the amount of compensation expense that is recorded over the requisite service period. Further information regarding the Company’s share-based compensation arrangements and the related accounting treatment can be found in Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity .
Fair Value of Financial Instruments . The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments.
Equity Method Investments . The Company has investments in joint ventures which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making

decisions and material intercompany transactions. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, from the consolidated financial results.
Income Taxes . The Company is subject to income and other similar taxes in all areas in which they operate. When recording income tax expense, certain estimates are required because: (a) income tax returns are generally filed months after the close of the Company's annual accounting period; (b) tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities and audits can often take years to complete and settle; and (c) future events often impact the timing of when the Company recognizes income tax expenses and benefits.
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to cumulative losses in recent years, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has federal, state and international net operating losses ("NOLs") carried forward from tax years ending before January 1, 2018 that will expire in the years 2020 through 2038. Due to U.S. tax reform, any U.S. federal income tax losses incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely with no carry back available.  In addition, the taxable losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 can only offset 80% of taxable income generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. After considering the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the potential limitation on use of NOLs under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and tax planning strategies, the Company established a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets associated with its NOL carryforwards.
As a result of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2017, the Company believes it experienced an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 of the Code because of its restructuring plan and that consequently its pre-change NOLs are subject to an annual limitation. The ownership change and resulting annual limitation on use of NOLs are not expected to result in the expiration of the Company's NOL carryforwards if it is able to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carryforward periods. However, the limitation on the amount of NOLs available to offset taxable income in a specific year may result in the payment of income taxes before all NOLs have been utilized. Additionally, a subsequent ownership change may result in further limitation on the ability to utilize existing NOLs and other tax attributes, which could cause the Company's pre-change NOL carryforwards to expire unused.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized uncertain tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit balance of $6.0 million related to a deduction for certain fees that were paid using shares of C&J common stock as part of the January 7, 2017 plan of reorganization. This uncertain tax benefit balance is netted against and reduces the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share . Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares (“common shares”) outstanding during the applicable period and excludes shares subject to outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common

Recent Accounting Pronouncements .
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends U.S. GAAP by introducing a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although it may be adopted one year earlier, and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,  Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02") ,  which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 is effective

for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07"), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this new accounting standard January 1, 2019, and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, such as requiring additional disclosure around changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for Level 3 fair value measurements, as well as additional disclosure around the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-50): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting standard effective January 1, 2019, and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 2 - Leases
The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company’s leases typically have initial terms ranging from one to 10 years and often include options to extend or renew for one to five additional years, some of which may include options to terminate the leases. For those leases that include options to extend, the Company assesses the likelihood of utilizing those options using a threshold of reasonably certain to renew. Based on this threshold, for accounting purposes, the Company does not include renewal periods in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company does not have any financing leases, and the Company has no pre-commencement leases that would create significant rights and obligations.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease or includes a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. In order to apply the incremental borrowing rate, a portfolio approach with a collateralized rate is utilized. Assets are grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner whereby the Company reasonably expects that the application does not differ materially from a lease-by-lease approach.

(Unaudited)


The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The five-step model requires management to exercise judgment when evaluating contracts and recognizing revenue.
Identify the Contract and Determine Transaction Price
The Company typically provides its services (i) under term pricing agreements; (ii) under contracts that include dedicated fleet or unit arrangements; (iii) on a spot market basis; and (iv) under term contracts that include “take-or-pay” provisions.
Under term pricing agreements, the Company and customer agree to set pricing for a specified period of time. The agreed-upon pricing is subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted upon the agreement of both parties. These agreements typically do not feature provisions obligating either party to commit to a certain utilization level. Additionally, these agreements typically allow either party to terminate the agreement for its convenience without incurring a termination penalty.
Under dedicated unit arrangements, customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels based on a specified number of fracturing stages per calendar month or fulfilling the customer's requirements, in either instance at agreed-upon pricing. These agreements typically do not feature obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted upon the agreement of both parties. These contracts also typically allow for termination for either party's convenience with a brief notice period and may feature a termination penalty in the event the customer terminates the contract for its convenience.
Rates for services performed on a spot market basis are based on an agreed-upon spot market rate unique to each service line.
Under term contracts with “take-or-pay” provisions, the Company’s customers are typically obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified quantity of services, whether or not those services are actually utilized. To the extent customers use more than the specified contracted minimums, the Company will charge a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services, which amounts are typically subject to periodic review. In addition, these contracts typically feature a termination penalty in the event the customer terminates the contract for its convenience.
"Take-or-pay" provisions are considered stand ready performance obligations. The Company recognizes "take-or-pay" revenues using a time-based measure of progress, as the Company cannot reasonably estimate if and when the customer will require the Company to provide the services; likewise, the customer benefits as the Company is standing by to provide such services.
Identify and Satisfy the Performance Obligations
The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time. The Company has determined this best represents the transfer of value from its services to the customer as performance by the Company helps to enhance a customer controlled asset (e.g., unplugging a well, enabling a well to produce oil or natural gas). Measurement of the satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using the output method, which is typically evidenced by a field ticket. A field ticket includes items such as services performed, consumables used, and man hours incurred to complete the job for the customer. Each field ticket is used to invoice customers. Payment terms for invoices issued are in accordance with a master services agreement with each customer, which typically require payment within 30 days of the invoice issuance.
A portion of the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved. Examples of variable consideration include the number of hours that will be incurred and the amount of consumables (such as chemicals and proppants) that will be used to complete a job.

In the course of providing services to its customers, the Company may use consumables; for example, in the Company’s fracturing business, chemicals and proppants are used in the fracturing service for the customer. ASC 606 requires that goods or services promised to a customer be identified separately when they are distinct within the contract. However, the consumables are used to complete the service for the customer and are not beneficial to the customer on their own. As such, the consumables are not a separate performance obligation, but instead are combined with the other services within the context of the contract and accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company invoices its customers for the services provided at contractual rates multiplied by the applicable unit of measurement, including volume of consumables used and hours incurred. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company has elected the “Right to Invoice” practical expedient for all contracts, which allows the Company to invoice its customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. With this election, the Company is not required to disclose information about the variable consideration related to its remaining performance obligations. For those contracts with a term of more than one year, the Company had approximately $19.0 million of unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2019 , which will be recognized as services are performed over the remaining contractual terms.
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable as presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represent amounts due from customers for services provided. Bad debt expense of $1.2 million and $1.3 million was included as a component of direct costs on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
The Company does not have any contracts in which it performs services for customers and payment for those services are contingent upon a future event (e.g., satisfaction of another performance obligation). As such, there are no contingent revenues or other contract assets recorded in the financial statements.
The Company does not have any significant contract costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers; as such, no amounts are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet.
The following is a description of the Company’s core service lines separated by reportable segments from which the Company generates its revenue. For additional detailed information regarding reportable segments, see Note 8 - Segment Information .
Completion Services Segment
Fracturing Services Revenue. Through its fracturing service line, the Company provides fracturing services (i) under term pricing agreements; (ii) under contracts that include dedicated fleet arrangements; (iii) on a spot market basis; or (iv) under term contracts that include "take-or-pay" provisions. Revenue is typically recognized, and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages. Once a job has been completed, a field ticket is generated that includes charges for the services performed and the consumables (such as chemicals and proppants) used during the course of service. The field tickets may also include charges any additional equipment used on the job and other miscellaneous consumables.
Cased-hole Wireline & Pumpdown Services Revenue. Through its cased-hole wireline & pumpdown services business, the Company provides cased-hole wireline, pumpdown, wireline logging, perforating, well site make-up and pressure testing and other complementary services, typically on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. The Company typically charges the customer for these services on a per job basis at agreed-upon spot market rates. Revenue is recognized based on a field ticket issued upon the completion of the job.
Other Completion Services Revenue. The Company generates revenue from its research and technology ("R&T") department, which is primarily engaged in the engineering and production of certain parts and components, such as perforating guns and addressable switches, which are used in the completion process. For R&T, the performance obligation is satisfied at a

point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which each order of parts and components are delivered to and accepted by the customer because the customer obtains control along with the risks and rewards of ownership of the products at such time. Once delivered, the Company has the right to invoice the customer.
Well Construction and Intervention Services Segment
Cementing Services Revenue. The Company provides cementing services on a spot market or project basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature and are generally completed in a few hours. The Company typically charges the customer for these services on a per job basis at agreed-upon spot market rates or agreed-upon job pricing for a particular project. Revenue is recognized, and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job based on a field ticket, which includes charges for the service performed and the consumables used during the course of service.
Coiled Tubing Services Revenue. The Company provides a range of coiled tubing services primarily used for fracturing plug drill-out during completion operations and for well workover and maintenance, primarily on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the services performed and the consumables used during the course of service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization and set-up of equipment, the personnel on the job, any additional equipment used on the job, and other miscellaneous consumables. The Company typically charges the customer for the services performed and resources provided on an hourly basis at agreed-upon spot market rates or pursuant to pricing agreements.
Well Support Services Segment
Rig Services Revenue. Through its rig service line, the Company provides workover and well servicing rigs that are primarily used for routine repair and maintenance of oil and gas wells, re-drilling operations and plug and abandonment operations. These services are provided on an hourly basis at prices that approximate spot market rates. Revenue is recognized, and a field ticket is generated upon the earliest of the completion of a job or at the end of each day. A rig services job can last anywhere from a few hours to multiple days depending on the type of work being performed. The field ticket includes the base hourly rate charge and, if applicable, charges for additional personnel or equipment not contemplated in the base hourly rate. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization and set-up of equipment.
Fluids Management Services Revenue. Through its fluids management service line, the Company primarily provides storage, transportation and disposal services for fluids used in the drilling, completion and workover of oil and gas wells. Rates for these services vary and can be on a per job, per hour, or per load basis, or on the basis of quantities sold or disposed. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of each job or load, or delivered product, based on a completed field ticket.
Other Special Well Site Services Revenue. Through its other special well site service line, the Company primarily provides fishing, contract labor and tool rental services for completion and workover of oil and gas wells. Rates for these services vary and can be on a per job, per hour or on the basis of rental days per month. Revenue is recognized based on a field ticket issued upon the completion of each job or on a monthly billing for rental services provided.

Note 4 - Debt
Credit Facility
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) are parties to an asset-based revolving credit agreement with, among other lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which matures May 1, 2023 (the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Facility allows the Borrowers to incur revolving loans in an aggregate amount up to the lesser of (a) $400.0 million or (b) a borrowing base (the “Loan Cap”), which borrowing base is based upon the value of the Borrowers’ accounts receivable, inventory and restricted cash, subject to eligibility criteria and customary reserves which may be modified in the Agent’s permitted discretion. The Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, which would further reduce borrowing capacity thereunder. As of March 31, 2019 , there were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility, and there were $20.6 million  in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company had available borrowing capacity of approximately $274.7 million as of March 31, 2019 .
The Borrowers pay a fee quarterly in arrears to the Agent on the unused portion of the Credit Facility equal to (i) 0.5% per annum if average utilization is less than or equal to 25% or (ii) 0.375% per annum if average utilization is greater than 25%.
The Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by liens on a substantial portion of the Borrowers’ personal property, subject to certain exclusions and limitations. The Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the Borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make loans, make acquisitions or investments, make distributions, merge into or consolidate with other persons, or engage in certain asset dispositions. The Credit Facility also contains a financial covenant which requires the Company to maintain a monthly minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 upon the occurrence of an event of default or on any date upon which the excess availability is less than the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Loan Cap and (y) $30.0 million. The fixed charge coverage ratio is generally defined in the Credit Facility as the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus certain capital expenditures and cash taxes paid to (ii) the sum of cash interest expenses, scheduled principal payments on borrowed money and certain distributions.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity
Stock Repurchases
On July 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a twelve month period starting August 1, 2018. Repurchases may commence or be suspended at any time without notice. The program does not obligate the Company to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock during the period or at all and may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.
During 2018, C&J executed $40.4 million of total stock repurchases at an average price of $16.55 per share, representing a total of approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock, of which $3.3 million of stock repurchases were settled during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2017 Management Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “MIP”) as of January 6, 2017. The MIP provides for the grant of share-based awards to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The following types of awards are available for issuance under the MIP: incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards, share awards, other share-based awards and substitute awards. As of March 31, 2019 , only nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, performance stock and restricted share units have been awarded under the MIP.
A total of approximately 8.0 million shares of common stock were originally authorized and approved for issuance under the MIP. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the MIP is subject to adjustment in the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off, split-up, issuance of warrants, rights or debentures, share dividend, share split or reverse share split, cash dividend, property dividend, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar corporate event or transaction. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance may also increase due to the termination of an award granted under the MIP or by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the common stock.
Restricted Share Units ("RSU")
As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had approximately 0.9 million RSU's outstanding to employees. The Company had approximately $11.2 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU's to be expensed over a weighted average remaining service period of 2.71 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , no RSU's were granted by the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , no performance stock was granted by the Company.
Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Regulations & Liabilities
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations can change from time to time and may have retroactive effectiveness and impose new obligations on the Company. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. However, the Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements on its business.

Environmental risk is inherent to the Company's business and the Company maintains insurance coverage to mitigate its exposure to environmental liabilities. Currently, the Company is not aware of any environmental violations or liabilities that would have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred from time to time to maintain compliance or in response to an environmental incident. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Litigation
The Company is, and from time to time may be, involved in claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Because there are inherent uncertainties in the ultimate outcome of such matters, it is difficult to determine or otherwise predict with any certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending or potential claims or litigation against the Company; however, management believes that the outcome of those matters that are presently known to the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 8 - Segment Information
In accordance with ASC No. 280 - Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), the Company routinely evaluates whether its separate operating and reportable segments have changed. This determination is made based on the following factors: (1) the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is currently managing each operating segment as a separate business and evaluating the performance of each segment and making resource allocation decisions distinctly and expects to do so for the foreseeable future, and (2) discrete financial information for each operating segment is available.

The CODM evaluates reportable segment performance and allocates resources based on total earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), net gain or (loss) on disposal of assets, acquisition-related costs, non-cash share-based compensation and non-routine items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), because Adjusted EBITDA is considered an important measure of each reportable segment’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level is not considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure as it is the Company's segment measure of profit and loss and is required to be disclosed under GAAP pursuant to ASC 280. During the first quarter of 2019, Adjusted EBITDA, the Company's segment measure of profit and loss, was changed to exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense. Prior period amounts have been adjusted for comparability.
Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis allows investors to make a direct comparison to competitors, without regard to differences in capital and financing structure. Investors should be aware, however, that there are limitations inherent in using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of overall profitability because it excludes significant expense items. An improving trend in Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of an improvement in the Company’s profitability. To compensate for the limitations in utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as an operating measure, management also uses U.S. GAAP measures of performance, including operating income (loss) and net income (loss), to evaluate performance, but only with respect to the Company as a whole and not on a reportable segment basis.
As required under Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, included below is a reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, from net income (loss), which is the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) includes certain statements and information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are not generally historical in nature, include those that express a belief, expectation or intention regarding our future activities, plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things, our business strategy and our financial strategy.
Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, forecasts for our existing operations, experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and their effect on us, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although management believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all). Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the following:
a decline in demand for our services, including due to supply of oil and gas, declining or perceived instability of commodity prices, overcapacity of supply, constrained pipeline capacity, and other competitive factors affecting our industry;
the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas industry, which impacts the level of drilling, completion and production activity and spending patterns by our customers;
a decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and gas commodity prices, which generally leads to decreased spending by our customers and negatively impacts drilling, completion and production activity;
pressure on pricing for our services, including due to competition and industry and/or economic conditions, which may impact, among other things, our ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing and margin on our services;
the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more of our significant customers;
the failure by one or more of our significant customers to pay amounts when due, or at all;
adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions;
changes in customer requirements in the markets we serve;
costs, delays, compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our short-and long-term business plans and growth strategies;
the effects of recent or future acquisitions or customer opportunities on our business, including our ability to successfully integrate our operations and the costs incurred in doing so and the costs and potential liabilities associated with new or expanded areas of operational risks (such as offshore or international operations);
business growth outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure;
operating hazards inherent in our industry, including the possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage;
the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more of our key suppliers, including resulting from product defects, recalls or suspensions;
the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on our operations, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our hydraulic fracturing services;
the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities resulting from litigation or governmental proceedings;

- 22 -



the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities or severe restrictions on our operations or the inability to perform certain operations or provide certain services resulting from a failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing regulations;
the effect of new or existing regulations, industry and/or commercial conditions on the availability of and costs for raw materials, consumables and equipment;
the loss of, or inability to attract, key management and other competent personnel;
a shortage of qualified workers;
our ability to implement new technologies and services;
damage to or malfunction of equipment;
our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and/or obtain adequate financing to allow us to execute our business plan; and
our ability to comply with covenants under our debt facilities.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please read (1) “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, as well as “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (our “ 2018 Annual Report”); and (2) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2018 Annual Report. Should one or more of these known material risks occur, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Introductory Note and Overview
C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“C&J,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a leading provider of well construction, well completion, well support and other complementary oilfield services to oil and gas exploration and production ("E&P") companies throughout the continental United States. We offer a comprehensive suite of services throughout the life cycle of the well, including hydraulic fracturing, cased-hole wireline and pumpdown, cementing, coiled tubing, rig services, fluids management and other completion and well support services.
Our revenues and profits are generated by providing services and equipment to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. Our results of operations in our core service lines are driven primarily by five interrelated, fluctuating variables: (1) the drilling, completion and production activities of our customers, which is primarily driven by oil and natural gas prices and directly affects the demand for our services; (2) the price we are able to charge for our services and equipment, which is primarily driven by the level of demand for our services and the supply of equipment capacity in the market; (3) the cost of materials, supplies and labor involved in providing our services, and our ability to pass those costs on to our customers; (4) our activity, or “utilization” levels; and (5) the quality, safety and efficiency of our service execution.
Our operating strategy continues to be focused on maintaining high asset utilization levels to maximize revenue generation while controlling cost to drive returns. We monitor factors that impact our asset utilization and pricing levels; including current and expected customer activity levels. Each segment measures asset utilization as follows:
For our Completion Services segment, we measure our asset utilization levels primarily by the total number of days that our asset base works on a monthly basis, based on the available working days per month, which excludes scheduled maintenance days. We generally consider an asset to be working such days that it is at or in transit to a job location, regardless of the number of hours worked or whether it generated any revenue during such time.
In our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment, we measure our asset utilization levels primarily by the total number of days that our asset base works on a monthly basis, based on the available working days per month. In our coiled tubing business, we measure certain asset utilization levels by the hour to better understand measures between daylight and 24-hour operations.
In our Well Support Services segment, we measure activity levels primarily by the number of hours our assets work on a monthly basis, based on the available working days per month.
While asset utilization is helpful for purposes of assessing our overall activity levels and customer demand, given the variance in revenue and profitability from job to job, depending on the type of service to be performed and the equipment, personnel and consumables required for the job, as well as competitive factors and market conditions in the region in which the services are performed, asset utilization is not necessarily indicative of our financial and/or operational performance and should not be given undue reliance. For additional information about factors impacting our business and results of operations, please see “Industry Trends and Outlook” in this Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
To help manage asset utilization and profitability in our operations, our management monitors revenue, Adjusted EBITDA by reportable business segment and certain operational data indicative of utilization levels, which information is provided for each of our operating segments under “Reportable Segments” in this Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Management evaluates the financial performance of our reportable business segments primarily based on such segment's Adjusted EBITDA because management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important information about the activity and profitability of our lines of business within each reportable business segment and aids us in analytical comparisons for purposes of, among other things, efficiently allocating our assets and resources. Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level is not considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure as it is our segment measure of profit or loss and is required to be disclosed under GAAP pursuant to ASC 280. Please read Note 8 - Segment Information in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, for the definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Revenue
Revenue decreased $42.2 million , or 7.6% , to $510.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to $553.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The decrease in revenue was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $47.0 million in our Completion Services segment primarily due to challenging market conditions within our fracturing service line as a result of takeaway capacity constraints in West Texas causing lower pricing and utilization, as well as pricing pressures within our wireline and pumpdown service lines, (ii) a decrease of $8.3 million in our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment as a result of decreased utilization and pricing pressure across its service lines, offset by an increase of $13.1 million in our Well Support Services segment as a result of improved pricing and activity levels across its service lines.
Direct Costs
Direct costs decreased $2.7 million , or 0.6% , to $416.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to $419.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The decrease in direct costs was primarily due to reduced consumable and fuel costs as a result of lower activity levels.
As a percentage of revenue, direct costs increased to 81.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to 75.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The increase was primarily due to challenging market conditions within our fracturing service line as a result of takeaway capacity constraints in West Texas, as well as pricing pressures across all service lines within the Completions Services and WC&I segments.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A decreased $12.3 million , or 18.6% , to $53.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to $65.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by (i) severance expense associated with the departure of an executive officer in the corresponding prior year period, (ii) lower labor and employee related costs from our cost reduction efforts, (iii) a reduction in integration costs related to the acquisition of O-Tex in the corresponding prior year period as well as a reduction in other general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense (“D&A”)
D&A increased $13.4 million , or 28.9% , to $59.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as compared to $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in D&A was primarily the result of capital expenditures associated with equipment placed into service after the first quarter of 2018.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , at a negative effective rate of (4.1%), compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the comparable prior year period, at a negative effective rate of (0.3%). The decrease in the effective tax rate, and the resulting effective tax rate below the expected statutory rate, was primarily due to the existence and adjustment of our valuation allowance applied against certain deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards.
Reportable Segments
As of March 31, 2019 , our reportable business segments were:
Completion Services, which consists of the following businesses and service lines: (1) fracturing services; (2) cased-hole wireline and pumpdown services; and (3) completion support services, which includes our research and technology (“R&T”) department.
Well Construction and Intervention Services, which consists of the following businesses and service lines: (1) cementing services and (2) coiled tubing services.
Well Support Services, which consists of the following businesses and service lines: (1) rig services; (2) fluids management services; and (3) other specialty well site services.

During the first quarter of 2018, we decided to exit our directional drilling business and artificial lift business. We ceased directional drilling operations during the first quarter of 2018, and we are in the process of divesting the assets and inventory associated with that business. We completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and inventory associated with the artificial lift business during 2018.
Our reportable business segments are described in more detail below; for financial information about our reportable business segments, including revenue from external customers and total assets by reportable business segment, please see Note 8 - Segment Information in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.
Completion Services
The core services provided through our Completion Services segment are fracturing, cased-hole wireline and pumpdown services. Our completion support services are focused on supporting the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. Our R&T department provides in-house manufacturing capabilities that help to reduce operating cost and enable us to offer more technologically advanced and efficiency focused completion services, which we believe is a competitive differentiator. For example, through our R&T department we manufacture the data control instruments used in our fracturing operations and the perforating guns and addressable switches used in our wireline operations; these products are also sold to third-parties. The majority of revenue for this segment is generated by our fracturing business.
During the first quarter of 2019 , our fracturing business deployed, on average, approximately 660,000 hydraulic horsepower (“HHP”) out of a fleet of approximately 860,000 HHP as of March 31, 2019 . Our typical horizontal fleet size consists of 20 pumps, or approximately 40,000 HHP, and our typical vertical fleet size consists of 10 pumps, or approximately 20,000 HHP. In our cased-hole wireline and pumpdown businesses, during the first quarter of 2019 , we deployed, on average, approximately 67 wireline trucks and 81 pumpdown units. Not all of our deployed assets are utilized fully, or at all, at any given time, due to, among other things, routine scheduled maintenance and downtime.
The following table presents revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and certain operational data for our Completion Services segment for the first quarter of 2019 , the fourth quarter of 2018 , and the first quarter of 2018 . Please read Note 8 - Segment Information in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, for the definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Revenue and profitability in our Completion Services segment increased sequentially due to the strong performance of our fracturing operations. The operational momentum created by the increase in our dedicated fleet count as we exited 2018, combined with improved customer activity levels and efficiencies in the first quarter, resulted in improved utilization levels and enhanced profitability in our fracturing business. In our wireline and pumpdown businesses, delayed completion activity in our largest operating area that includes the Bakken and the Rocky Mountains, inclement weather in all of

- 28 -



our core operating basins, and a more competitive pricing environment resulted in both revenue and profitability decreasing sequentially. With the challenging conditions of the first quarter of 2019, we worked to increase efficiencies and streamline costs in our wireline and pumpdown businesses, including reallocating assets to more profitable locations and closing select operating districts in line with our disciplined returns focused strategy.
Well Construction and Intervention Services
The core services provided through our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment are cementing and coiled tubing services. Although we previously provided directional drilling services through this segment, we ceased operations during the first quarter of 2018, and we are in the process of selling the related assets and inventory. The majority of revenue for this segment is generated by our cementing business.
During the first quarter of 2019 , our cementing business deployed, on average, approximately 68 cementing units; and in our coiled tubing business, we deployed, on average, approximately 14 coiled tubing units during the quarter. Our deployed assets may not be utilized fully, or at all, at any given time, due to, among other things, routine scheduled maintenance and downtime.

Revenue and profitability decreased sequentially in our WC&I segment primarily due to lower customer activity levels, inclement weather and reduced asset deployment. These factors, together with the lower overall drilling rig count from smaller public and private customers in West Texas and a more competitive pricing environment in West Texas and the Mid-Continent, negatively impacted our cementing business throughout the first quarter. In our coiled tubing business, we experienced unexpected downtime with some of our large diameter units, several of which were warrantied by the manufacturer, and all but one returned to service early in the second quarter of 2019. Additionally, slower than expected completion activity levels in South Texas and the Mid-Continent resulted in lower overall utilization in our coiled tubing business during the first quarter of 2019.

Well Support Services
Our Well Support Services segment focuses on post-completion activities at the well site, including rig services, such as workover and plug and abandonment, fluids management services, and other specialty well site services. Although we previously provided artificial lift applications through this segment, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and inventory associated with such business on July 2, 2018. Additionally, in response to the highly competitive landscape and reflecting our returns-focused strategy, we have continued to focus on operational rightsizing measures to better align these businesses with current market conditions, which has included closing facilities and idling unproductive equipment. For

- 29 -



example, during the fourth quarter of 2017, we divested our Canadian rig services business, during the first quarter of 2018, we exited the condensate hauling business in South Texas, and late in the second quarter of 2018, we shut-down our East Texas rig services operations. The majority of revenue for this segment is generated by our rig services business, and we consider rig services and fluids management to be the core businesses within this segment.
During the first quarter of 2019 , our rig services business deployed, on average, approximately 124 workover rigs per workday. In our fluids management business, we deployed, on average, approximately 660 fluid services trucks per workday and approximately 1,307 frac tanks per workday. In our fluids management business, we own 23 private salt water disposal wells for fluids disposal purposes. However, not all of our deployed assets are utilized fully, or at all, at any given time, due to, among other things, routine scheduled maintenance and downtime.

Segment revenue was essentially flat, but segment profitability declined sequentially due to inclement weather across our operating basins and higher overall labor costs. In our rig services business, we benefited from the full quarter impact of rate increases implemented in the fourth quarter of 2018, which were offset by multiple instances of harsh weather conditions throughout the back half of the quarter, especially in our largest operating basin of California. Weather-driven delays also inhibited our ability to get equipment to location to meet continued strong customer demand for plug and abandonment services, which resulted in special services revenue and profitability decreasing sequentially. In our fluids management business, customer demand continued to improve, but weather-driven delays in our largest operating basins and higher labor costs caused profitability to decline sequentially.
Industry Trends and Outlook
We face many challenges and risks in the industry in which we operate. Although many factors contributing to these risks are beyond our ability to control, we continuously monitor these risks and have taken steps to mitigate them to the extent practicable. In addition, while we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on available growth opportunities, we may not be able to achieve our business objectives, and consequently, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Please read the factors described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Financial Information and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report for additional information about the known material risks that we face.
We seek to manage our business in line with demand for services and try to make adjustments as necessary to effectively respond to changes in market conditions, customer activity levels, pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our response to the industry's persistent uncertainty is to maintain sufficient

- 30 -



liquidity and a conservative capital structure and monitor our discretionary spending. We intend to maintain a financial structure that includes little or no debt during the near term. We take a measured approach to asset deployment, balancing our view of current and expected customer activity levels with a focus on generating positive returns for our shareholders. Our priorities remain to drive revenue by maximizing utilization, to improve margins through cost controls, to protect and grow our market share by focusing on the quality, safety and efficiency of our service execution, and to ensure that we are strategically positioned to capitalize on constructive market dynamics.
Completion Services Outlook
Our strategy of increasing our dedicated fleet count with efficient, existing customers resulted in strong operating momentum throughout the first quarter of 2019, which should result in continued modest improvement in the second quarter of 2019. With that said, current market conditions remain volatile, the supply and demand balance of horsepower in the market remains unfavorable for service providers, and customers are still very price sensitive. Our primary focus remains to lower our overall cost structure and to more closely align with dedicated customers with deep inventories of work and proven track records of efficient operations, many of which we have created long-term relationships with over the past several years. In our wireline and pumpdown businesses, we expect improvement in customer activity levels in most of our core operating basins during the second quarter. Specifically, our largest customers in the Bakken and the Rocky Mountain regions commenced completion activities as we exited the first quarter, which should result in improved utilization of deployed assets in our largest operating basin.
Well Construction and Intervention Services Outlook
We currently expect that our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment will experience improved activity levels in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to an increase in the number of drilling rigs serviced by our cementing business and the redeployment of our large diameter coiled tubing units that experienced downtime during the first quarter of 2019. Despite the recent improvements in our cementing business, market conditions remain volatile and customers remain very price sensitive. We will continue to focus on streamlining costs and deploying units with efficient customers that we already work for in several of our other core businesses. In our coiled tubing business, customer activity levels have remained strong in West Texas, and we experienced a noticeable improvement in customer demand in our other core operating basins as we exited the first quarter, which should result in improved utilization of deployed equipment throughout the second quarter of 2019.
Well Support Services Outlook
We expect improved financial results in our Well Support Services segment in the second quarter as customer demand remains strong and periods of inclement weather that are typical in the first quarter subside. We continue to experience increased demand for workover and well maintenance activities, and we will focus on deploying additional assets with steady, efficient customers in our core operating basins. In our rig services business, we will focus on increasing profitable market share primarily in California and West Texas, and we should benefit from further cost savings associated with district consolidation and the elimination of certain product lines in select basins. In our fluids management business, we will focus on areas with improving fluids logistics and disposal demand, but potential growth opportunities will be dependent upon asset availability and the easing of labor constraints that we continue to experience in select basins. With that said, we continue to explore potential strategic opportunities for our Well Support Services segment that would enable us to focus more on growing our new well focused businesses.
Regulations
The discussion set forth under Item 1. "Business - Government Regulations and Environmental, Health and Safety Matters" in our 2018 Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 8, 2018, the President issued two Proclamations directing the imposition, effective March 23, 2018, of ad valorem tariffs of 25% on certain imported steel products and 10% on certain imported aluminum products from all countries, with the exception of Canada and Mexico. Subsequently, on March 22, 2018, the President issued two additional Proclamations that exempted, in addition to Canada and Mexico, several additional countries from the remedial tariff measures, as follows: (i) Argentina; (ii) Australia; (iii) Brazil; (iv) the 28 member countries of the European Union; and (v) South Korea. In Proclamations issued on April 30, 2018, the President: (i) permanently exempted South Korea from the imposition of tariffs on imported steel, while allowing tariffs to be imposed on imported aluminum; (ii) extended the steel and aluminum tariff exemptions for Argentina, Australia, and Brazil indefinitely to allow for continued negotiations; and (iii) extended the steel and aluminum tariff exemptions for Canada, Mexico, and the 28 member countries of the European Union to allow for continued

- 31 -



negotiations, but only through May 31, 2018. In addition to possible country-based exemptions, the United States has established a protocol whereby individuals or entities using any of the affected steel or aluminum products in business activities, such as manufacturing, may request the exclusion of individual products from the imposition of tariffs. On May 31, 2018, the U.S. announced that it would also impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and the 28 member countries of the European Union. In addition, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea implemented measures to address the impairment to U.S. national security attributable to steel and aluminum imports that were deemed satisfactory to the United States. As a result, imports of steel and/or aluminum from these countries have been exempted from the imposition of tariff-based remedies, but, with the exception of Australia, the United States has implemented quantitative restrictions in the form of absolute quotas, meaning that imports in excess of the allotted quota will be disallowed.
Our R&T department is primarily engaged in the engineering and production of certain parts and components, such as perforating guns and addressable switches, which are used in the completion process. Certain of these items, particularly perforating guns used in our wireline operations, are manufactured using imported steel tubing, which is subject to a 25% tariff. We expect that, depending on the ultimate outcome of the country exemption and product exclusion processes described above, our raw material costs will increase and result in corresponding increases in the price of our finished goods. Further, in addition to the products manufactured by our R&T department, we expect that the costs of other high steel content products used in conjunction with our fracturing and coiled tubing operations, specifically power ends, fluid ends, treating iron and coiled tubing strings, will also increase as we expect the manufacturers of such goods to pass along the net effect the tariffs have on the cost of manufacturing such goods.
For additional information, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Reportable Segments” in this Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in addition to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I, Financial Information and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have historically included, and we have funded our capital expenditures with, cash flows from operations, proceeds from public offerings of our common stock and borrowings under debt facilities. Our ability to generate future cash flows is subject to a number of variables, many of which are outside of our control, including the drilling, completion and production activity by our customers, which is highly dependent on oil and gas prices. See Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Industry Trends and Outlook” for additional discussion of certain factors that impact our results and the market challenges within our industry. Please also read “Financial Condition and Cash Flows” below for information about net cash provided by or used in our operating, investing and financing activities.
Our financial performance and condition has remained strong during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , and we have maintained a strong balance sheet and a conservative capital structure. As of March 31, 2019 , we had a cash balance of $88.8 million and no borrowings drawn on our asset-based revolving credit agreement with, among other lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which matures May 1, 2023 (the “Credit Facility"), which had $274.7 million of available borrowing capacity after taking into consideration outstanding letters of credit totaling $20.6 million . This resulted in total liquidity of $363.5 million as of March 31, 2019 . As of May 3, 2019 , we had a cash balance of approximately $106.6 million and no borrowings drawn on our Credit Facility, which had $274.7 million of available borrowing capacity after taking into consideration our current outstanding letters of credit totaling $31.0 million , resulting in total liquidity of approximately $381.4 million . Under the terms of our Credit Facility, the borrowing base is subject to monthly adjustments based on current levels of accounts receivable and inventory. For additional information about the Credit Facility, please see  Note 4 - Debt in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.
Our primary uses of cash are for operating costs, capital expenditures and other expenditures. The oilfield services business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade and purchase equipment to meet our customers’ needs and industry demand. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of:
growth capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to acquire additional equipment and other assets, increase our service lines, or advance other strategic initiatives for the purpose of growing our business; and

- 32 -



maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures related to our existing equipment, such as refurbishment and other activities to extend the useful life of partially or fully depreciated assets.
Capital expenditures totaled $48.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 , primarily pertaining to maintenance capital expenditures for deployed equipment. Based on current market conditions and assumptions on future customer demand, we expect our 2019 capital expenditure budget to range between $140.0 million and $180.0 million. We expect to fund our 2019 capital expenditure program primarily with cash flows from operations and potential borrowings under our Credit Facility. The amount of indebtedness we have outstanding at any time could limit our ability to finance future growth and could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Based on our existing operating performance, we currently believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our operational and capital expenditure requirements over the next twelve months.
On July 31, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase, at the discretion of senior management, of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock over the twelve month period starting August 1, 2018, in open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, stock market conditions, capital needs of the business, and other factors. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. In 2018, the Company executed the repurchase of approximately $40.4 million of the Company's common stock. No repurchases were made in the first quarter of 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends U.S. GAAP by introducing a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although it may be adopted one year earlier, and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,  Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02") ,  which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07"), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this new accounting standard January 1, 2019, and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, such as requiring additional disclosure around changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for Level 3 fair value measurements, as well as additional disclosure around the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-50): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this new accounting standard effective January 1, 2019, and there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2019 .
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and its related amendments. During this implementation and upon adoption of the new standard, we assessed and modified our internal controls in order to facilitate adoption of the new lease accounting standard, primarily related to the implementation of a new lease accounting system and modifications to the related payment and accounting processes.
There were no other changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
