Overview and Outlook

Key’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Marshall Dodson, stated, “Our revenues and activity in the fourth quarter were impacted by our internal realignment as well as the seasonal impacts of the fourth quarter. Excluding locations that were closed as part of our realignment efforts, our revenues fell 9.4% in the fourth quarter from the third quarter. The operational realignment we executed on in the fourth quarter did benefit our margins, allowing for a reduction of G&A of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter, or $14.0 million annually compared to our third quarter run rate, and improving margins in our Rigs, Fluid Management Services and Coiled Tubing segments.”

Dodson continued, “We are pleased to have the restructuring of our balance sheet completed and we will exit the first quarter with substantially reduced leverage and a capital structure that we believe will allow Key greater flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives. I would like to thank our employees and all the stakeholders of Key for their support during the period of uncertainty that the restructuring created.”

Restructuring and Liquidity

As previously announced, on March 6, 2020 the Company completed the transactions under the January 24, 2020 Restructuring Support Agreement (“the Restructuring”). Prior to the closing of the Restructuring, the Company implemented a 50-1 reverse stock split, which is reflected in the per share amounts contained in this release.  Upon the completion of these transactions, the Company’s Term Loan debt was reduced from $243.1 million to $51.2 million and the Company had unrestricted cash of $31.6 million.  Additionally, availability under the Company’s ABL Facility was $13.6 million for total liquidity of $45.2 million on March 6, 2020. In connection with the Restructuring, the Company also amended its ABL Facility, reducing its capacity to $70 million. The ABL Facility is currently undrawn. Total debt, net of cash on hand upon completion of the transaction on March 6, 2020, was $19.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, Key had unrestricted cash of $14.4 million. This compares to total liquidity at September 30, 2019 of $38.5 million, consisting of $22.6 million in unrestricted cash and $15.9 million of borrowing capacity at that time under the ABL Facility. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $1.8 million with $6.2 million in asset sale proceeds for the same period. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $18.3 million, with $14.6 million in asset sale proceeds for the same period.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Fourth quarter 2019 Rig Services revenues were $53.2 million as compared to third quarter 2019 revenues of $64.5 million, with fourth quarter 2019 rig hours of approximately 115,000 hours. Approximately $6.4 million and 11,800 hours of the quarter on quarter revenue and rig hour decline, respectively, was due to the operational realignment effected in the fourth quarter. Completion hours fell 27% to comprise 13% of our fourth quarter rig activity as compared to 14% in the third quarter. The segment generated operating income of $2.8 million (5.2% of revenues) and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million (16.0% of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to operating income of $2.8 million (4.3% of revenue) and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million (13.0% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2019. Cost structure reductions and improved pricing during the fourth quarter benefited margins and partially offset the decline in income due to the lower activity. Margins also benefited by approximately 200 bps by a deferral of some repair and maintenance from the seasonally slow fourth quarter into the first quarter.

Fourth quarter 2019 Fluid Management Services revenues were $15.2 million as compared to the third quarter 2019 revenues of $18.2 million. Truck hours fell 28,400 hours from the third quarter of 2019 to 116,900 hours in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Approximately $1.7 million and 20,300 hours of the quarter on quarter revenue and truck hour decline, respectively, was due to the operational realignment effected in the fourth quarter. The segment generated an operating income of $0.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million (14.5% of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million (7.7% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2019. The quarter on quarter improvement was due largely to the Company’s cessation of trucking operations in certain markets and relocation of assets into markets with better economics. The Fluid Management Services segment also benefited by the deferral of certain repair and maintenance activities from the seasonally slow fourth quarter into the first quarter of 2020.

Fourth quarter 2019 Fishing & Rental Services revenues were $11.0 million as compared to third quarter 2019 revenues of $14.1 million. The segment generated an operating loss of $2.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million (12.7% of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to operating loss of $1.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million (11.1 % of revenue) in the third quarter of 2019. The operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased as compared to the third quarter of 2019 due to losses on asset sales, while Adjusted EBITDA benefited in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 from better labor efficiency and lower repair and maintenance costs.

Fourth quarter 2019 Coiled Tubing Services revenues were $5.8 million as compared to third quarter 2019 revenues of $9.7 million. Utilization of large diameter coiled tubing units declined 1.6 average units to an average of 0.9 units during the fourth quarter of 2019 as clients finished their completion schedules ahead of year-end. Revenues also declined $3.3 million from the third quarter of 2019 due to the company’s exit from certain markets. The segment generated an operating income of $1.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million (13.1% of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to operating loss of $1.5 million and negative Adjusted EBITDA of $0.3 million (3.2% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2019. Operating income improved quarter on quarter due to labor efficiency improvements resulting from the Company’s exit of certain markets.

General and Administrative Expenses        

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses were $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $21.4 million in the prior quarter. Fourth quarter 2019 G&A expenses included a $2.7 million gain due to the forfeiture of certain equity awards, $3.5 million in severance costs, $4.0 million in fees and expenses associated with the Company’s restructuring and a charge of $5.0 million associated with ongoing litigation. Excluding these items, G&A expense was $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Third quarter 2019 G&A expense of $21.4 million includes $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense.

“EBITDA” is defined as income or loss attributable to Key before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-recurring or extraordinary items such as impairment expense, severance expense, loss on debt extinguishment, gains or losses on asset sales, asset retirements and impairments, and certain non-recurring transaction or other costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by the Company’s management and directors and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, to assess:

  • The financial performance of the Company’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • The ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness;
  • The Company’s operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the well services industry, without regard to financing methods and capital structure; and
  • The Company’s operating trends underlying the items that tend to be of a non-recurring nature.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating income exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations in using normalized operating loss as an analytical tool include that normalized operating loss excludes certain cash costs and losses actually incurred by the Company. Limitations to using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect Key’s current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service, interest or principal payments on Key’s debt;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income taxes;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • Other companies in Key’s industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Key does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a different calculation from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined for purposes of the financial covenants in the Company’s senior secured credit facility, and therefore should not be relied upon for assessing compliance with covenants.

Statements that are not historical in nature or that relate to future events and conditions are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements, including statements relating to review of Key’s capital structure. These forward-looking statements are based on Key’s current expectations, estimates and projections and its management’s beliefs and assumptions concerning future events and financial trends affecting its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, you can identify these statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of performance. Future actions, events and conditions and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these statements. In evaluating those statements, you should carefully consider the information above as well as the risks outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in Key’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in other reports Key files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Key undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release except as required by law. All of Key’s written and oral forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements.

Important factors that may affect Key’s expectations, estimates or projections include, but are not limited to, the following: Key’s ability to satisfy its cash and liquidity needs, including its ability to generate sufficient liquidity or cash flow from operations or to obtain adequate financing to fund its operations or otherwise meet its obligations as they come due; Key’s ability to retain employees, customers or suppliers as a result of its financial condition generally or as a result of its recent restructuring; Key’s inability to achieve the potential benefits of the restructuring; conditions in the services and oil and natural gas industries, especially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies; Key’s ability to achieve the benefits of cost-cutting initiatives, including its plan to optimize its geographic footprint, including exiting certain locations and reducing its regional and corporate overhead costs; Key’s ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing on its core services; risks that Key may not be able to reduce, and could even experience increases in, the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed in its businesses; industry capacity; asset impairments or other charges; the low demand for Key’s services and resulting operating losses and negative cash flows; Key’s highly competitive industry as well as operating risks, which are primarily self-insured, and the possibility that its insurance may not be adequate to cover all of its losses or liabilities; significant costs and potential liabilities resulting from compliance with applicable laws, including those resulting from environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, specifically those relating to hydraulic fracturing, as well as climate change legislation or initiatives; Key’s historically high employee turnover rate and its ability to replace or add workers, including executive officers and skilled workers; Key’s ability to implement technological developments and enhancements; severe weather impacts on Key’s business, including hurricane activity; Key’s ability to successfully identify, make and integrate acquisitions and its ability to finance future growth of its operations or future acquisitions; Key’s ability to achieve the benefits expected from disposition transactions; the loss of one or more of Key’s larger customers; the amount of Key’s debt and the limitations imposed by the covenants in the agreements governing its debt, including its ability to comply with covenants under its current debt agreements; an increase in Key’s debt service obligations due to variable rate indebtedness; Key’s inability to achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue and/or operating income and its inaccurate assessment of future activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability which may not materialize (whether for Key as a whole or for geographic regions and/or business segments individually); Key’s ability to respond to changing or declining market conditions, including Key’s ability to reduce the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed and used in its businesses; the adverse impact of litigation; and other factors affecting Key’s business described in “Item 1A.
