With that, let me turn the call back over to Robert, to discuss the strategic rationale.
Robert Wayne Drummond
Chief Executive Officer &
Director, Keane Group, Inc.
Thanks, Don. We highlight five key attributes that make this deal so compelling. First, the combined company will be
positioned as an industry leader with greater scale, scope of services, basin density and diversity of geographies. Said simply, well be able to do more in more places with more customers. Second, due to the complementary nature of our
businesses, we expect $100 million of annualized run rate synergies.
Third, we will be in a very strong financial position, including attractive
balance sheet with low leverage and ample liquidity. The transaction is immediately accreted to cash flow per share and provide the pathway for further growth in cash flow generation. Fourth, were combining two businesses with highly
complementary cultures and operating philosophies. This means, we think similarly including a customer-centric model that prioritizes safety, our people and asset quality. And fifth, well now have a broader base on which we deploy our rich
portfolio of proprietary technology that improves the customer experience. And together, we are committed to invest in next-generation technology that will deliver further safety and operational efficiency and value for our customers.
Let me turn it back over to Don, to discuss and expand on some of these key merger attributes starting with our enhanced scale.
Donald Jeffrey Gawick
President, Chief Executive
Officer & Director, C&J Energy Services, Inc.
Thanks, Robert. The scale and scope of our combined companies is a major part of why
Im so excited about this transaction. On a combined basis, were positioned as a market leader in all areas in which we compete, including hydraulic fracturing, wireline, pumpdown, coiled tubing, cementing, workover rigs, and fluid
handling. This leadership position is built upon a foundation of high-quality assets, which will be comprised of 2.3 million hydraulic horsepower consisting of approximately 50 frac fleets, 158 wireline trucks, 81 pumpdown units, 28 coiled
tubing units, 139 cementing units, 364 workover rigs, and 940 fluids trucks.
On a combined basis, our $4.2 billion of revenue across a wide array of
completions and production services positions us as the fourth largest North American service company, while our 2.3 million horsepower establishes us as the third largest provider of U.S.-focused frac services. This scale is important for a
few key reasons. First, it means were able to serve our current and prospective customers in more places. Second, well be more efficient from a greater density of operations with an attractive opportunity to leverage both field and
corporate overhead. Third, well now have a wider net on which to cast our existing portfolio of technology and improved financial position on which to execute further innovation. And finally, well benefit from increased relevancy to
vendors.
Our greater scale will also extend our geographic footprint, which would include a meaningful position in the most active U.S. shale basins. On
a combined basis, more than 40% of our revenue is driven by the Permian, which continues to experience the greatest level of producer activity and growth potential in the entire lower [ph] 48% (00:11:36). Well also have a leadership position
in the Marcellus/Utica, which we consider to be one of the leading gas basins in the world.
All-in,
were positioned where the activity is and are poised to further benefit from ongoing activity from our
customers.
