Recent Events and Outlook
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") in the first quarter of 2020
and its continued spread across the globe in the second and third quarters of
2020 has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic
disruption and has, and will likely continue to, adversely affect the operations
of the Company's business, as the significantly reduced global and national
economic activity has resulted in reduced demand for oil and natural gas.
Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment
mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various
containment measures, which included the quarantining of cities, regions and
countries, while aiding in the prevention of further outbreak, have resulted in
a severe decline in general economic activity and a resulting decrease in energy
demand. In addition, the global economy has experienced a significant disruption
to global supply chains. The risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have
impacted our workforce and the way we meet our business objectives. The extent
of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company's operational and financial performance
will significantly depend on certain developments, including the duration and
spread of the outbreak and its continued impact on customer activity and
third-party providers. The direct impact to the Company's operations began to
take affect at the close of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 and continued
through the close of the third quarter ended September 30, 2020; however the
full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may affect the Company's financial
conditions, results of operations or liquidity subsequent to the issuance of
these financial statements is uncertain. At the time of this filing, cases of
COVID-19 in the U.S. were remain high, including in Texas, where we conduct
significant operations.
COVID-19 and numerous public and political responses thereto have contributed to
equity market volatility and potentially the risk of a global recession. We
expect this global equity market volatility experienced during 2020 to continue
at least until the outbreak of COVID-19 stabilizes, if not longer. The response
to the COVID-19 outbreak (such as stay-at-home orders, closures of restaurants
and banning of group gatherings) and slowing of the global economy has
contributed to increased unemployment rates.
The severe drop in economic activity, travel restrictions and other restrictions
due to COVID-19 have had a significant negative impact on the demand for oil and
gas. In addition to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, in March 2020, OPEC,
Russia and certain other oil producing states, commonly referred to as "OPEC
Plus," failed to agree on a plan to cut production of oil and natural gas.
Subsequently, Saudi Arabia announced plans to increase production to record
levels and reduce the prices at which they sell oil and, in turn, Russia
responded with threats to also increase production. Collectively, these events
created an unprecedented global oil and natural gas supply and demand imbalance,
reduced global oil and natural gas storage capacity,
                                       18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

caused oil and natural gas prices to decline significantly and resulted in
continued volatility in oil, natural gas and NGLs prices into the third quarter
of 2020. On April 12, 2020, OPEC Plus agreed to cut oil production by 9.7
million barrels per day in May and June 2020; however, on July 15, 2020 OPEC
Plus agreed to increase production by 1.6 million barrels per day starting in
August 2020. With the combined effects of the increased production levels
earlier in 2020, the recent increase in production and the reduction in demand
caused by COVID-19, the global oil and natural gas supply and demand imbalance
persists and continues to have a significant adverse effect on the oil and gas
industry. OPEC Plus is scheduled to meet again in the fourth quarter of 2020 and
it is possible OPEC Plus may decide to further production increases.
Due to the significantly reduced demand for oil and natural gas as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic and the current oversupply of oil and natural gas in the
market, available storage and capacity for our customers' production may be
limited or completely unavailable in the future, which may further negatively
impact the price of oil.
We cannot predict whether or when the global supply and demand imbalance will be
resolved or whether or when oil and natural gas production and economic
activities will return to normalized levels. In the absence of additional
reductions to global production, oil, natural gas and NGLs prices could remain
at current levels, or decline further, for an extended period of time.
Factors deriving from the COVID-19 response, as well as the oil oversupply, that
have and may continue to negatively impact sales, liquidity and gross margins in
the future include, but are not limited to: limitations on the ability of our
suppliers to provide materials or equipment, limitations on the ability of our
employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local,
state or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; reduction of
capital expenditures and discretionary spend; limitations on the ability of our
customers to conduct business; and limitations on the ability of our customers
to pay us on a timely basis. If prolonged, such factors may also negatively
affect the carrying values of our property and equipment and intangible assets.
As of the date of this report, the Company successfully implemented cost
reductions throughout the organization, including a reduction in workforce of
approximately 50% and salary reductions across the Company's organizational
structure, which has reduced payroll expense by more than 60% since the
beginning of 2020. Additionally, we have made various other operational, travel
and organizational expense reductions and will continue to manage costs to
preserve liquidity through this downturn. We will continue to actively monitor
the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as
may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are
in the best interests of our employees, customers and stakeholders. Currently,
we expect to have sufficient liquidity to operate our business and remain in
compliance with the financial covenants under our Credit Facility agreement for
at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial
statements.
The U.S. government has implemented a number of programs in the wake of the
impacts of COVID-19, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (the "CARES Act"), the largest relief package in U.S. history, and
the Main Street Lending Program established by the Federal Reserve. Although we
qualified for limited aid under the CARES Act related to the deferment of
certain employer taxes, the Company is currently evaluating whether it can meet
the conditions of and benefit from the Main Street Lending Program.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Management uses a variety of metrics to analyze our operating results and
profitability, which include operating revenues, cost of conducting our
operations, operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, among others. Within
our High Specification Rig segment, management uses additional metrics to
analyze our activity levels and profitability, including, rig hours and rig
utilization.
How We Generate Revenues
We currently generate revenues through the provision of a variety of oilfield
services. These services are performed under a variety of contract structures,
including a long term take-or-pay contract and various master service
agreements, as supplemented by statements of work, pricing agreements and
specific quotes. A portion of our master services agreements include provisions
that establish pricing arrangements for a period of up to one year in length.
However, the majority of those agreements provide for pricing adjustments based
on market conditions. The majority of our services are priced based on
prevailing market conditions and changing input costs at the time the services
are provided, giving consideration to the specific requirements of the customer.
We analyze our revenues by comparing actual revenues to our internal projections
for a given period and to prior periods to assess our performance. We believe
that revenues are a meaningful indicator of the demand and pricing for our
services.
Rig Hours
Within our High Specification Rig segment, we analyze rig hours as an important
indicator of our activity levels and profitability. Rig hours represent the
aggregate number of hours that our well service rigs actively worked during the
periods presented. We typically bill customers for our well services on an
hourly basis during the period that a well service rig is actively working,
making rig hours a useful metric for evaluating our profitability.
                                       19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rig Utilization
Within our High Specification Rig segment, we analyze rig utilization as a
further important indicator of our activity levels and profitability. We measure
rig utilization by reference to average monthly hours per rig, which is
calculated by dividing (a) the approximate, aggregate operating well service rig
hours for the periods presented by (b) the aggregate number of high-spec rigs in
our fleet during such period, as aggregated on a monthly basis utilizing a
mid-month convention whereby a high-spec rig added to our fleet during a month,
meaning that we have taken delivery of such high-spec rig and it is ready for
service, assumed to be in our fleet for one half of such month. We believe that
rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per high-spec rig is a
meaningful indicator of the operational efficiency of our core revenue-producing
assets, market demand for our well services and our ability to profitably
capitalize on such demand. Our evaluation of our rig utilization as measured by
average monthly hours per rig may not be comparable to that of our competitors.
The primary factors that have historically impacted, and will likely continue to
impact, our actual aggregate well service rig hours for any specified period
are: (i) customer demand, which is influenced by factors such as commodity
prices, the complexity of well completion operations and technological advances
in our industry, and (ii) our ability to meet such demand, which is influenced
by changes in our fleet size and resulting rig availability, as well as weather,
employee availability and related factors. The primary factors that have
historically impacted, and will likely continue to impact, the aggregate number
of high-spec rigs in our fleet during any specified period are the extent and
timing of changes in the size of our well service rig fleet to meet short-term
and expected long-term demand, and our ability to successfully maintain a fleet
capable of ensuring sufficient, but not excessive, rig availability to meet such
demand.
Costs of Conducting Our Business
The principal expenses involved in conducting our business are personnel,
repairs and maintenance costs as well as other direct material costs, general
and administrative, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. We
manage the level of our expenses, except depreciation and amortization and
interest expense, based on several factors, including industry conditions and
expected demand for our services. In addition, a significant portion of the
costs we incur in our business is variable based on the quantities of specific
services provided and the requirements of such services.
Direct cost of services and general and administrative expenses include the
following major cost categories: (i) personnel costs; and (ii) equipment costs,
including repair and maintenance.
Personnel costs associated with our operational employees represent a
significant cost of our business. A substantial portion of our labor costs is
attributable to our crews and is partly variable based on the requirements of
specific customers and operations. A key component of personnel costs relate to
the ongoing training of our employees, which improves safety rates and reduces
attrition. We also incur costs to employ personnel to support our services and
perform maintenance on our assets. Costs for these employees are not directly
tied to our level of business activity. During the nine months ended September
30, 2020, the Company significantly reduced the workforce due to the impacts of
the COVID-19 and geopolitical events that have recently taken place.
Additionally, we implemented salary reductions across our organizational
structure. The combined impact of the workforce reduction and salary reductions
has resulted in payroll expense decreasing by more than 60% since the beginning
of 2020. We will continue to actively manage costs and take further actions as
necessary. See "-Recent Events and Outlook" above.
Operating Income (Loss)
We analyze our operating income (loss), which we define as revenues less cost of
services, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization,
impairment and other operating expenses, to measure our financial performance.
We believe operating income (loss) is a meaningful metric because it provides
insight on profitability and true operating performance based on the historical
cost basis of our assets. We also compare operating income (loss) to our
internal projections for a given period and to prior periods.
Adjusted EBITDA
We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
("U.S. GAAP"), as an important indicator of performance. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision or
benefit, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation,
acquisition-related and severance costs, gain or loss on disposal of assets and
other non-cash and certain items that we do not view as indicative of our
ongoing performance. See "Results of Operations-Note Regarding Non-GAAP
Financial Measure" for more information and reconciliations of net income (loss)
to Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated
and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $49.5
million, or 59%, to $34.6 million from $84.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2019. The decrease in revenues, across all reporting segments, is
due to the deterioration of crude oil pricing and significantly reduced demand
for our services during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as described
in "-Recent Events and Outlook" above. The change in revenues by segment was as
follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $18.0 million, or 55%, to $14.5 million from
$32.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in rig
services revenue included a 52% decrease in total rig hours to 30,200 for the
three months ended September 30, 2020 from 62,400 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019. The decreased rig hours attributed to a 51% reduction in rig
utilization. The average revenue per rig hour decreased seven percent to $480
from $519 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Completion and Other Services. Completion and Other Services revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $26.4 million, or 58%, to $18.9
million from $45.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The
decrease was primarily attributable to our wireline business, which accounted
for approximately $16.7 million, or 63%, of the segment revenue decrease. The
decrease in wireline services revenue included a 40% decrease in active wireline
units to six units as of September 30, 2020 from ten units as of September 30,
2019. All other service lines also had comparable revenue reductions.
Processing Solutions. Processing Solutions revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 decreased $5.1 million, or 81%, to $1.2 million from $6.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a decline in mobilization and maintenance revenue
related to our Mechanical Refrigeration Units ("MRU"), which was attributable to
a decline in MRU utilization. Our MRU utilization decreased to nine percent as
of September 30, 2020, from 52% as of September 30, 2019, which accounted for
approximately $1.5 million, or 33%, of the revenue decline.
                                       21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MRU utilization decrease was due to certain of our customer contracts that
terminated during 2020, as scheduled, without renewal.
Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization shown separately).
Cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $40.1
million, or 60%, to $26.6 million from $66.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 77% and 79%
for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
decline in cost of services, across all segments, corresponds with the decreased
demand for our services, as described in "-Recent Events and Outlook," above and
is primarily attributable to a reduction in variable employee costs related to
the reduction in our workforce. The change in cost of services by segment was as
follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig cost of services for the three
months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $17.0 million, or 58% to $12.3 million
from $29.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease
was primarily attributable to a reduction in variable expenses, notably employee
costs and repair and maintenance costs.
Completion and Other Services. Completion and Other Services cost of services
for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $20.6 million, or 60%,
to $14.0 million from $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the wireline
business, which accounted for approximately $13.9 million, or 64%, of the
segment cost of sales decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to a
reduction in variable expenses related to employee costs and direct material
costs across all service lines.
Processing Solutions. Processing Solutions cost of services for the three months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $2.5 million, or 89%, to $0.3 million from
$2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a reduction in employee costs and costs associated
with ancillary equipment rentals, corresponding with a decrease in revenue.
General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.1
million, or 31%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020
compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The
decrease is attributable to lower employee costs, which is related to our
reduction in workforce, and lower professional fees during the three months
ended September 30, 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three
months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $0.7 million, or 8%, to $8.4 million
from $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is
attributable to depreciation expense for fixed assets placed into service during
the trailing 12 months, partially offset by asset retirements.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 decreased $0.6 million, or 43%, to $0.8 million from $1.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease to net
interest expense was attributable to the reduction of the principal balances on
our Encina Master Financing Agreement and Credit Facility, coupled with a
decrease in London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR").

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $110.4
million, or 43%, to $146.3 million from $256.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019. The decrease in revenues, across all reporting segments, is
due to the deterioration of crude oil pricing and significantly reduced demand
for our services during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as described
in "-Recent Events and Outlook" above. The change in revenues by segment was as
follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $36.5 million, or 38%, to $60.8 million from
$97.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in rig
services revenue included a 36% decrease in total rig hours to 117,200 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 184,700 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019. The decreased rig hours drove a 36% decrease in rig
utilization. Our average revenue per rig hour decreased one percent to $518 from
$524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Completion and Other Services. Completion and Other Services revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $63.3 million, or 44%, to $79.9
million from $143.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The
decrease is primarily attributable to our wireline business, which accounted for
$40.0 million, or 63%, of the revenue decrease. The decrease in wireline revenue
included a 40% reduction in active wireline units to six units as of September
30, 2020 from ten units as of September 30, 2019. All other service lines also
had revenue reductions.
Processing Solutions. Processing Solutions revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 decreased $10.6 million, or 65%, to $5.6 million from $16.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in MRU utilization to nine percent as of September
30, 2020, from 52% as of September 30, 2019, which accounted for approximately
$4.3 million, or 77%, of the revenue decline. The MRU utilization decrease was
due to certain of our customer contracts that terminated during 2020, as
scheduled, without renewal.
                                       23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization shown separately).
Cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $86.3
million, or 43%, to $113.5 million from $199.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was
approximately 78% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The decline in cost of services, across all segments, corresponds with the
decreased demand for our services, as described "-Recent Events and Outlook,"
above and is primarily attributable to a reduction in employee costs, as a
result of a significant reduction in work force. The change in cost of services
by segment was as follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig cost of services for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $33.1 million, or 39%, to $52.3
million from $85.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in variable expenses, notably
employee costs and repair and maintenance costs, corresponding with a decrease
in total rig hours and utilization rates.
Completion and Other Services. Completion and Other Services cost of services
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $48.5 million, or 45%, to
$59.0 million from $107.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The segment decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in our wireline
business, which accounted for $30.0 million, or 61% of the segment decrease. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in variable expenses related
to employee costs and direct material costs across all service lines.
Processing Solutions. Processing Solutions cost of services for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $4.7 million, or 68%, to $2.2 million from
$6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was
primarily attributable to a reduction in labor costs and costs associated with
ancillary equipment rentals, corresponding with a decrease in revenue.
General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $5.1 million, or 25%, to $15.1 million
from $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is
attributable to the gain on debt retirement of $2.1 million related to the
settlement of the ESCO Seller's Notes during the nine months ended September 30,
2020, as well as lower employee costs and lower professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $0.9 million, or 3%, to $26.8 million from
$25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is
attributable to depreciation expense for fixed assets placed into service during
the trailing 12 months, partially offset by asset retirements.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September
30, 2020 decreased $1.9 million, or 41%, to $2.7 million from $4.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease to net interest expense
was attributable to the reduction of the principal balances on our Encina Master
Financing Agreement and Credit Facility, coupled with a decrease in LIBOR.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense,
net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based
compensation, acquisition-related, severance and reorganization costs,
impairment of goodwill, gain or loss on disposal of assets and certain other
items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for
an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers,
without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the
items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because
these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon
accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method
by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as
an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant
components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance,
such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic
costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that
our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our
computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled
measures of other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of net
income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

ended September 30, 2020 decreased $2.6 million to $0.9 million from $3.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to a decrease in
revenue of $5.1 million, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in cost of
services of $2.5 million.
Other. Other Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2020
increased $1.4 million to a loss of $3.9 million from a loss of $5.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2019. The balances included in Other
reflect other general and administrative costs, which are not directly
attributable to High Specification Rigs, Completion and Other Services or
Processing Solutions. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in the
Company's general and administrative costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $20.4
million to $19.0 million from $39.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2019. The change by segment was as follows:
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rigs Adjusted EBITDA for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $2.9 million to $9.1 million from
$12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreased
revenues of $36.5 million, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in cost
of services of $33.1 million.
Completion and Other Services. Completion and Other Services Adjusted EBITDA for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $14.5 million to $21.2
million from $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to
decreased revenues of $63.3 million, partially offset by a corresponding
decrease in cost of services of $48.5 million.
Processing Solutions. Processing Solutions Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 decreased $5.9 million to $3.4 million from $9.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreased revenues
of $10.6 million, partially offset by a corresponding decrease in cost of
services of $4.7 million.
Other. Other Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
increased $2.9 million to a loss of $14.7 million from a loss of $17.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The balances included in Other
reflect other general and administrative costs, which are not directly
attributable to High Specification Rigs, Completion and Other Services or
Processing Solutions. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the
Company's general and administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance
expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives,
investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash
generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility. The
borrowing base under our Credit Facility is calculated monthly on a percentage
of our eligible accounts receivable less certain reserves. As of September 30,
2020, our borrowing base was reduced to $13.4 million compared to $30.5 million
as of December 31, 2019, as a result of decreased accounts receivable during the
period. We strive to maintain financial flexibility and proactively monitor
potential capital sources to meet our investment and target liquidity
requirements and to permit us to manage the cyclicality associated with our
business.
As of September 30, 2020, we had cash on hand of $3.4 million, operating cash
flows of $27.3 million and availability under our Credit Facility of $10.4
million. As of October 21, 2020, our cash on hand and available borrowings under
our Credit Facility approximated $14.0 million. We currently expect to have
sufficient funds to meet the Company's liquidity requirements and to stay within
our covenants of our debt agreements for at least the next 12 months from the
date of issuance of these financial statements. See additional information under
"- Our Debt Obligations."
Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $9.0 million to cash
provided of $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared
to cash provided of $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The change in cash flows provided by operating activities is primarily
attributable to cash collections related to accounts receivable, partially
offset by cash payments related to our accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The Company increased cash generated from working capital for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 by $8.4 million, or 100%, to cash generated from
working capital of $8.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2019.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $13.4 million to a use of cash
of $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a use
of cash of $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The
change in
                                       27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cash flows used in investing activities is attributable to a significant
reduction in capital expenditures during the current year in response to the
economic events that have taken place in the industry, coupled with an increased
level of fixed assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2019,
relative to the corresponding period of the current year.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $13.3 million to a use of
cash of $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a
use of cash of $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The
change in cash flows from financing activities is primarily attributable to
repayments on the principal balance of our Credit Facility and Encina Master
Financing Agreement, settlement of the ESCO Note Payable and repurchases of our
Class A Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Supplemental Disclosures
We added fixed assets of $0.1 million that were non-cash additions and added
$1.0 million of fixed assets through financing leases during the nine months
ended September 30, 2020. In addition, we early terminated certain of our
vehicle financing leases, thereby reducing our current and long-term obligations
by $1.3 million.
Working Capital
Our working capital, which we define as total current assets less total current
liabilities, was a deficit of $1.8 million as of September 30, 2020 compared to
a surplus of $3.6 million as of December 31, 2019. The reduction in the
Company's operational activity, due to the current macroeconomic environment, is
the primary reason for this decrease in working capital. In April 2020, we
eliminated all planned growth capital expenditures for the remainder of 2020.
While our maintenance capital expenditures have historically been low due to the
quality of our asset base, we expect minimal capital expenditures for the
remainder of 2020.
Our Debt Agreements
ESCO Notes Payable
In August 2017, we issued $7.0 million of Seller's Notes as partial
consideration for the acquisition of ESCO Leasing, LLC ("ESCO"). These notes
included a note for $1.2 million, which was paid in August 2018 and a note for
$5.8 million, which was settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Both notes bore interest at 5.0% payable quarterly until their respective
maturity dates.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we provided notice to ESCO that we are
seeking to be indemnified for breach of contract. We exercised our right to stop
payments of the remaining principal balance of $5.8 million on the Seller's
Notes and any unpaid interest, pending resolution of certain indemnification
claims. Interest on the outstanding principal balance was accrued through the
maturity date of the Note Payable. During the nine months ended September 30,
2020, the Company paid $3.8 million to settle the note and any unpaid interest,
and recognized a gain on the retirement of the note of $2.1 million.
Credit Facility
In August 2017, we entered into a $50.0 million Credit Facility by and among
certain of Ranger's subsidiaries, as borrowers, each of the lenders' party
thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Facility
is subject to a borrowing base that is calculated based upon a percentage of the
value of our eligible accounts receivable less certain reserves. The Credit
Facility is scheduled to mature in August 2022.
The applicable margin for the LIBOR loans ranges from 1.5% to 2.0% and the
applicable margin for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.5% to 1.0%, in each case,
depending on our average excess availability under the Credit Facility. The
applicable margin for the LIBOR loan was 1.75% and the applicable margin for
Base Rate loans were 0.75% as of September 30, 2020. The weighted average
interest rate for the borrowings under the Credit Facility was 3.2% during the
nine months ended September 30, 2020. Effective October 1, 2020, the applicable
margins for the LIBOR loans and Base Rate loans increased to 2.0% and 1.0%,
respectively, which increases are due to the reduction of our average excess
availability. The applicable margins for each of the loans are re-determined as
of the first day of each calendar quarter.
Under the Credit Facility, the total loan capacity was $13.4 million, which was
based on a borrowing base certificate in effect as of September 30, 2020. The
Company had outstanding borrowings of $3.0 million under the Credit Facility,
leaving a residual $10.4 million available for borrowings as of September 30,
2020. As of October 21, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $3.0 million under
the Credit Facility and had available borrowings of $12.1 million. We were in
compliance with the Credit Facility covenants as of September 30, 2020.

The Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base that is calculated based upon
a percentage of the value of the Company's eligible accounts receivable less
certain reserves. The Credit Facility includes cash dominion provisions that
permit the Administrative Agent to sweep cash daily from the Company's bank
accounts into an account of the Administrative Agent to repay the Company's
obligations under the Credit Facility. Such dominion is triggered when excess
availability is less than the greater of $6.25 million and 12.5% of the lesser
of (x) the maximum revolver amount and (y) the borrowing base as of such date of
determination. When the Company is subject to dominion, for 30 consecutive days
it is required to either (a) maintain excess availability in excess of the
greater of $6.25 million and 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the maximum revolver
amount and (y) the borrowing base as of such date of determination and no event
of default has occurred and is continuing or (b) have no revolver drawings and
available cash of at least $20.0 million for dominion to revert back to the
Company. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on August 16, 2022. During
the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company borrowed against the Credit
Facility causing dominion to revert to the Administrative Agent, however after
the 30 consecutive day period, as defined above, dominion reverted back to the
Company in April 2020. The borrowings under the Credit Facility, and related
issuance costs, were included in long-term debt, net in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020, as the Company was not
subject to dominion.
In addition, the Credit Facility restricts our ability to make distributions on,
or redeem or repurchase, our equity interests, except for certain distributions,
including distributions of cash so long as, both at the time of the distribution
and after giving effect to the distribution, no default exists under the Credit
Facility and either (a) excess availability at all times during the preceding 90
consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such
distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 22.5% of the lesser of (A) the
maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $10.0
million or (b) if our fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0x on a pro
forma basis, excess availability at all times during the preceding 90
consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such
distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 17.5% of the lesser of (A) the
maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $7.0
million. If the foregoing threshold under clause (b) is met, we may not make
such distributions (but may make certain other distributions, including under
clause (a) above) prior to the earlier of the date that is (a) 12 months from
closing or (b) the date that our fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0x
for two consecutive quarters. Our Credit Facility generally permits us to make
distributions required under the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA"), but a "Change
of Control" under the TRA constitutes an event of default under our Credit
Facility, and our Credit Facility does not permit us to make payments under the
TRA upon acceleration of our obligations thereunder unless no event of default
exists or would result therefrom and we have been in compliance with the fixed
charge coverage ratio for the most recent 12-month period on a pro forma basis.
Our Credit Facility also requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio
of at least 1.0x if our liquidity is less than $10.0 million until our liquidity
is at least $10.0 million for 30 consecutive days. We are not subject to a fixed
charge coverage ratio if we have no drawings under the Credit Facility and have
at least $20.0 million of qualified cash.
The Credit Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this
nature, including, but not limited, to:
•events of default resulting from our failure or the failure of any guarantors
to comply with covenants and financial ratios;
•the occurrence of a change of control;
•the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against us or any
guarantor; and
•the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness we or any
guarantor may have.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility, the lenders are able to
declare any outstanding principal of our Credit Facility debt, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise
other remedies.
Encina Master Financing and Security Agreement
In June 2018, we entered into a Master Financing and Security Agreement
("Financing Agreement") with Encina Equipment Finance SPV, LLC (the "Lender").
The amount available to be provided by the Lender to us under the Financing
Agreement was contemplated to be not less than $35.0 million, and not to exceed
$40.0 million. The first financing was required to be in an amount up to $22.0
million, which was used to acquire certain capital equipment. Subsequent to the
first financing, we borrowed an additional $17.8 million, net of expenses and in
two tranches, under the Financing Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the
aggregate principal balance outstanding was $20.2 million under the Financing
Agreement. The total borrowings under the Financing Agreement were borrowed in
three tranches, where the amounts outstanding are payable ratably over 48 months
from the time of each borrowing. The three tranches mature in July 2022,
November 2022 and January 2023. The Financing Agreement is secured by a lien on
certain of our high specification rig assets.
                                       29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrowings under the Financing Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 8.0% plus LIBOR, which was 1.5% as of September 30, 2020. In no
event will LIBOR fall below 1.5%. The Financing Agreement requires that the
Company maintain leverage ratios of 2.5 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance
with the covenants under the Financing Agreement as of September 30, 2020.
TRA
With respect to obligations we expect to incur under our TRA (except in cases
where we elect to terminate the TRA early, the TRA is terminated early due to
certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other
changes of control or we have available cash but fail to make payments when
due), generally we may elect to defer payments due under the TRA if we do not
have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the TRA or if our
contractual obligations limit our ability to make these payments. Any such
deferred payments under the TRA generally will accrue interest. In certain
cases, payments under the TRA may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the
actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to
the TRA. We intend to account for any amounts payable under the TRA in
accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Further, we intend to account for the
effect of increases in tax basis and payments for such increases under the TRA
arising from future redemptions as follows:
•when future sales or redemptions occur, we will record a deferred tax asset for
the gross amount of the income tax effect along with an offset of 85% of this as
a liability payable under the TRA; the remaining difference between the deferred
tax asset and tax receivable agreement liability will be recorded as additional
paid-in-capital; and
•to the extent we have recorded a deferred tax asset for an increase in tax
basis to which a benefit is no longer expected to be realized due to lower
future taxable income, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation
allowance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report and have
not materially changed since December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Emerging Growth Company Status and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the
earlier of (1) the last day of our fiscal year (a) following the fifth
anniversary of the completion of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual
gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a
large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that
is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of
our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (2) the date on which we
have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the
prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of
specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable
generally to public companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended
transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required
for other public companies.
The Company is also a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Rule 12b-2 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchnage Act"). Smaller
reporting company means an issuer that is not an investment company, an
asset-back issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a
smaller reporting company and that has (i) market value of common stock held by
non-affiliates of less than $250 million; or (ii) annual revenues of less than
$100 million and either no common stock held by non-affiliates or a market value
of common stock held by non-affiliates of less than $700 million. Smaller
reporting company status is determined on an annual basis.
