NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

U.S. Well Services, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), f/k/a Matlin & Partners Acquisition Corp (“MPAC”), is a Houston, Texas-based technology-focused oilfield service company focused on electric powered pressure pumping services for oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies in the United States. The process of well stimulationpressure pumping involves pumping a pressurized stream of fluid—typically a mixture of water, chemicals, and proppant—into a well casing or tubing to cause the underground mineral formation to fracture or crack. Fractures release trapped hydrocarbon particles and provide a conductive channel for the oil or natural gas to flow freely to the wellbore for collection. The propping agent or proppant becomes lodged in the cracks created by the stimulation process, “propping” them open to facilitate the flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the well.

The Company’s fleets consist mostly of all-electric, mobile well stimulationpressure pumping equipment and other auxiliary heavy equipment to perform stimulation services. The Company's Clean Fleet®well stimulation electric fleets replace the traditional engines, transmissions, and radiators used in conventional diesel fleets with electric motors powered by electricity generated by natural gas-fueled turbine generators.electricity. The Company utilizes high-pressure well stimulationhydraulic fracturing pumps mounted on trailers and refers to the group of pump trailers and other equipment necessary to perform a typical job as a “fleet” and the personnel assigned to each fleet as a “crew”. In May 2021, the Company announced its commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, the Company ceased operationssince then it has sold most of its last active conventional diesel fleet, marking its exit from the conventional diesellegacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping market.equipment. We have retained some of our legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment for use during our transition to support our electric fleets and bridge the time gap between our customers' current service needs and the deployment of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®. Upon delivery, our Nyx Clean Fleets® are intended to replace any conventional fleet in operation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements werehave been prepared usingin accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (the “Amended Annual“Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC on May 17, 2021.March 30, 2022.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes present the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit of the Company as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021. The interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Our operations are organized into a single business segment, which consists of pressure pumping services, and we have 1 reportable geographical business segment, the United States.

Reverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on May 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a specified range. On September 30, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-3.5 reverse split of its Class A common stock. All owners of record as of September 30, 2021 received one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock in exchange for three and one half outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of shares of Class A common stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation or on the par value per share of the Class A common stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets, valuation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrant liabilities, term loan, and convertible senior notes, and the valuation of share-based compensation and certain equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements, or are reserved for a specific purpose, and not readily available for immediate or general use are recorded in restricted cash inon our condensed consolidated balance sheets. TheAs of March 31, 2022, restricted cash inprimarily consisted of $0.7 million transferred into a trust account to support our condensed consolidated balance sheet representsworkers’ compensation obligations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their outstanding balances adjusted for an allowance for doubtful accounts. Revenue earned and recognized in advance of invoice issuance creates assets referred to as “unbilled receivables”. Unbilled receivables are presented on a combined basis with accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by analyzing the payment history and credit worthiness of each customer. Receivable balances are charged off when they are considered uncollectible by management. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded as income when received.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company wrote-off accounts receivables of $12.0 million, which was previously reserved in full as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did 0t record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory

Inventory consists of proppant, chemicals, and other consumable materials and supplies used in our pressure pumping operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out cost basis. All inventories are purchased for use by the Company in the delivery of its services with no inventory being sold separately to outside parties. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly and write-downs for obsolete inventory are recorded based on our forecast of the inventory item demand in the near future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $2.4 million of reserves for losses on inventory obsolescence primarily related to conventional diesel parts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded write-downs of $1.5 million related to obsolete inventory parts. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had established inventory reserves of $1.31.5 million and $0.31.3 million, respectively, for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. Amounts spent for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related asset, are charged to expense as incurred.

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

The Company separately identifies and accounts for certain critical components of its well stimulationpressure pumping units including the engine, transmission, and pump, which requires us to separately estimate the useful lives of these components. For our other service equipment, we do not separately identify and track depreciation of specific original components. When we replace components of these assets, we typically estimate the net book values of the components that are retired, which are based primarily upon their replacement costs, their ages and their original estimated useful lives.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except sharesAt inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease and per share amounts,the appropriate lease classification as operating or where otherwise noted)

Infinance. When a lease is identified, a right-of-use asset and the first quarter of 2020, our review of impairment of long-lived assets necessitated a reviewcorresponding lease liability are recorded on the lease commencement date based on the present value of the useful lives of our property and equipment. Current trends in pressure pumping equipment operating conditions, such as increasing treating pressures and higher pumping rates, along withremaining lease payments over the increase in daily pumping time are shorteninglease term on the useful life of certain critical components we use. We determined that the average useful life of fluid ends and fuel injectors was less than one year, which resulted in our determination that costs associated with the replacement of these components would no longer be capitalized, but instead expensed as they are used in operations. This change in accounting estimate was made effective in March 2020 and accounted for prospectively.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less expected selling costs (“estimated selling price”) with a loss recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated selling price. The classification is applicable at the date upon which the sale of assets is probable and the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition. Upon determining that an asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and reports the assets, if material, in assets held for sale in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.sheet. In the event a lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the remaining lease payments. Leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company generally does not include renewal or termination options in its assessment of the leases unless extension or termination for certain assets is deemed to be reasonably certain. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also has some lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.

When the net carrying value of an asset designated as held for sale exceeds its estimated fair value, which we estimate based on the estimated selling price, we recognize the difference as an impairment charge. When an impairment charge is recorded, subsequent changes to the estimated selling price ofRight-of-use assets held for sale are recorded as gains or losses to the condensed consolidated statements of operations wherein the recognition of subsequent gains is limited to the cumulative loss previously recognized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded 0 impairment charges on its held for sale assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewedassessed periodically for impairment annually, or more frequently whenif events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Judgements regarding indicators of potential impairment are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business.

As of December 31 of each year, or as required, the Company performs an impairment analysis of goodwill. The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether conditions existoccur that indicate it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, and if such conditions are identified, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. The Company may also elect to perform a single step quantitative analysis in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value, which theasset may not be recoverable. The Company estimates using a guideline public company method, a formmonitors events and modifications of existing lease agreements that would require reassessment of the market approach. The guideline public company method utilizeslease. When a reassessment results in the trading multiplesremeasurement of similarly traded public companies as they relatea lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the Company’s operating metrics. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and only limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.corresponding right-of-use asset.

Warrant LiabilitiesWarrants

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity is evaluated pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

The CompanyCompany’s issued public warrants and private placement warrants (collectively, the “publicoutstanding Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and private placement warrants”) in connection with its initial public offering in November 2018. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to certain institutional investors in connection with the Company’s private placement of Series A Preferred Stock on May 24, 2019 (“Series A warrants,” and together with the public and private placement warrants, the “warrants”). All our outstanding warrantsWarrants are recognized as liabilities. Accordingly, we recognize thethese warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value upon issuance and adjust the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The public warrantsPublic Warrants are valued using their quoted market price since they are publicly traded and thus had an observable market price. The private placement warrantsPrivate Placement Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Series A warrantsWarrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Convertible Notesoutstanding Term C Loan Warrants, RDO Investor Warrants and Convertible Preferred Stock

When the Company issues convertible notes or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classifiedPlacement Agent Warrants are recognized as a liability under ASC 480 and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible note instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815-15. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

If a conversion feature does not meet the conditions to be separated and accounted for as an embedded derivative liability, the Company then determines whether the conversion feature is “beneficial”. A conversion feature would be considered beneficial if the conversion feature is “in the money” when the host instrument is issued or, under certain circumstances, at a later time. The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) for convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.equity.

If the convertible note contains a BCF, the amountSee “Note 9 – Warrants” for additional disclosure of the proceeds allocated to the BCF reduces the balance of the convertible note, creating a discount which is amortized over the note’s term to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

When a convertible preferred stock contains a BCF, after allocating the proceeds to the BCF, the resulting discount is either amortized as deemed dividends over the period beginning when the convertible preferred stock is issued up to the earliest date the conversion feature may be exercised, or if the conversion feature is immediately exercisable, the discount is fully amortized at the date of issuance.Company’s outstanding warrants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:instruments:

Senior Secured Term Loan. The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan is $160.796.5 million and $198.0106.6 million as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Senior Secured Term Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equipment financing. The carrying value of the equipment financing approximates fair value as its terms are consistent with and comparable to current market rates as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Warrants. The Company’s warrants are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value. See “Note 8 – Warrant Liabilities” for fair value measurements associated with the Company’s warrants.

Term C Loan. The fair value the Term C Loan is $22.6 million as of March 31, 2022 based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Term C Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equipment financing. The carrying value of the equipment financing notes approximates fair value as its terms are consistent with and comparable to current market rates as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Warrants. Certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value. See “Note 9 – Warrants” for fair value measurements associated with the Company’s warrants.

Convertible Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2021, theThe fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes is $96.875.1 million and $73.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on an option pricing framework using a lattice model. If the Convertible Senior Notes were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the customer’s ability to benefit from the services rendered in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, typically measured by the number of stages completed or the number of pumping days a fleet is available to pump for a customer in a month. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, and the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice has been determined. 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.

The Company has elected to use the “as invoiced” practical expedient to recognize revenue based upon the amount it has a right to invoice upon the completion of each performance obligation per the terms of the contract.

Patent License Sales. On June 24, 2021, the Company issued a Convertible Senior Note (See “Note 11 – Convertible Senior Notes”) convertible into a patent license agreement. On June 29, 2021, the holder exercised its right to convert the Convertible Senior Note in full and the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), which provides the licensee a five-year option to purchase up to 20 licenses to build and operate electric well stimulation fleets using the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology (the “licenses”). Upon entry into the License Agreement, the Company sold 3 licenses to build and operate 3 electric well stimulation fleets, each valued at $7.5 million.

The sales of the right to use the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology is a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes the income associated with the patent license sales at the point in time when the Company satisfies its performance obligation by granting the purchaser the right to use the patented Clean Fleet® technology and transfer of control has occurred. The patent license sales are recognized as other income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their outstanding balances adjusted for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by analyzing the payment history and credit worthiness of each customer. Receivable balances are charged off when they are considered uncollectible by management. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded as income when received.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment of Claim Agreement (the “Assignment”) with a third-party, whereby the Company transferred to the third-party all right, title, and interest in the Company’s claim in the amount of $14.5 million in connection with a customer’s bankruptcy. The Assignment was for consideration of $2.5 million, which the Company received on April 26, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company wrote-off the related receivables of $12.0 million, which was the unrealized amount of the claim assigned and was previously reserved for in full as of December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did 0t record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk

The concentration of our customers in the oil and natural gas industry may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.

Income Taxes

The Company, under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, uses the asset and liability method of accounting forprovision or benefit from income taxes under whichfor interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company records a cumulative adjustment.

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was 0.00%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to a valuation allowance on the Company's federal and state net deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognizedexcess tax benefits related to net operating losses. Due to tax losses and offsetting valuation allowance, the Company did not record a provision for U.S. income taxes in any period.

The Company is subject to taxation in the futureU.S. The tax consequencesyears subsequent to 2018 remain open and subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities in which the Company is subject to tax. The Company is not under examination in any other jurisdictions.

As of (i) temporary differences betweenMarch 31, 2022, the financial statement carrying amountsCompany has provided a valuation allowance against all federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the tax basesrealizability of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the periodrelated valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets whenor the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination. After consideration of all the information available, management determined that a valuation allowance was appropriate, as it is more likely than not that the Company will not utilize its net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaN amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.assets.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Except as discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Amended Annual Report, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20, ASU 2019-01 and ASU 2020-02 (collectively, “ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842, using the modified retrospective with applied transition method and recognized a cumulative impact to retained earnings in that period, which allowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Topic 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients, whereby it will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.

On January 1, 2022, upon adoption of the new leasing standard, the Company recognized operating right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $1.6 million. On January 1, 2022, the Company recognized finance lease right-of-use assets of $3.6 million, reclassified from property and equipment, net and finance lease liabilities of $3.8 million, including $3.2 million reclassified from current and long-term capital lease obligations. The impact of adoption of the new leasing standard had no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, 2019-12,Intangibles - Goodwill Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. The new guidance also improves the issuer’s application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2022, using the prospective method of transition. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other - Internal-Use SoftwareOptions (Subtopic 350-40)470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs IncurredConvertible Instruments and Contracts in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract,an Entity’s Own Equity requiring a customer, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On June 24, 2021, the Company, USWS LLC, as the borrower, and all other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Term Loan Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Term Loan”) with CLMG Corp., as administrative and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on December 5, 2025.

Pursuant to the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, the agent and lenders agreed to make certain modifications and amendments to the Senior Secured Term Loan to, among other things, permit the incurrence of debt and liens in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes as described in “Note 11 – Convertible Senior Notes”. Additionally, pursuant to the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, other covenants were amended including, but not limited to, certain covenants relating to collateral, asset dispositions, and special purpose entities used for stand-alone equipment financings.

The deferral period for interest on the Senior Secured Term Loan was shortened by three months, to January 1, 2022, in accordance with the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, and the Senior Secured Term Loan will resume incurring interest at that date at the applicable benchmark rate, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus the applicable margin of 8.25% per annum, subject to the following exceptions. If on December 31, 2021, either:

the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan is equal to or less than $132.0 million but greater than $110.0 million then the interest rate shall be 0.0% per annum from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022; and

(in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

 

the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan is equal to or less than $110.0 million then the interest rate shall be 0.0% per annum from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022 and 2.0% per annum from April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, provided, that if on April 1, 2022, the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan is equal to or less than $103.0 million then the interest rate shall be 1.0% per annum from April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Since April 2020, the Company has accounted for the Senior Secured Term Loan as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. The subsequent amendments, including the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, did not result in a significant modification or extinguishment resulting in no change in accounting for the Senior Secured Term Loan. In connection with the Fifth Term Loan Amendment, the Company paid $3.0 million to the lenders under the Senior Secured Term Loan, which was accounted for as a debt discount and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Senior Secured Term Loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made principal payments of $44.9 million, which included prepayments of $38.6 million driven primarily by asset sales. The early repayment of debt resulted in a write-off of $3.8 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees of $0.5 million, all of which were presented as loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan was $201.4 million, of which $5.0 million was due within one year from the balance sheet date.

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company made additional prepayments of $44.6 million on the Senior Secured Term Loan. As of November 8, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan was $156.8 million.

ABL Credit Facility

On June 24, 2021, the Company, USWS LLC, and all other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth ABL Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Credit Facility”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The ABL Credit Facility matures on April 1, 2025.

Pursuant to the Fourth ABL Amendment, the lenders agreed to make certain modifications and amendments to the ABL Credit Facility to, among other things, permit the incurrence of debt and liens in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes.

The ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base which is calculated based on a formula referencing the Company’s eligible accounts receivables. On September 30, 2021, the borrowing base was $39.2 million and the outstanding revolver loan balance was $22.3 million, classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan

In July 2020, the Company received an unsecured loan (the “PPP Loan”) in the principal amount of $10.0 million that bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and matured in five years under the Paycheck Protection Program from a commercial bank. In August 2021, the Company was notified that the principal amount of $10.0 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million with respect to the PPP Loan had been forgiven. The loan amount and accrued interest was recognized as a gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

USDA Loan

In November 2020, we entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “USDA Loan”) with a commercial bank pursuant to the United States Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act Guaranteed Loan Program, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million for the purpose of providing long-term financing for eligible working capital. Interest payments are due monthly at the interest rate of 5.75% per annum beginning on December 12, 2020 but principal payments are not required until December 12, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we received proceeds amounting to $22.0 million under the USDA Loan. In January 2021, we received the remaining proceeds amounting to $3.0 million.

The subsequent amendments, including the sixth term loan amendment, did not result in a significant modification or extinguishment resulting in no change in accounting for the Senior Secured Term Loan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made principal payments of $17.8 million, which included prepayments of $16.5 million driven primarily by asset sales. The early repayment of debt resulted in a write-off of $1.6 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees of $0.1 million, all of which were presented as loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan was $103.0 million, of which $5.0 million was due within one year from the balance sheet date.

Term C Loan

The sixth term loan amendment to the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement also provided for an additional tranche of last-out term loans (the “Term C Loan”) of up to $35.0 million principal amount, with a maturity date of December 5, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $21.5 million in Term C Loans.

The Term C Loan was funded by a syndicate of institutions and individuals (collectively, the “Term C Loan Lenders”), including related parties, Crestview Partners and its affiliates and David Matlin, and was extended on a last-out basis in the payment waterfall relative to the existing Senior Secured Term Loan, and was otherwise made on the general terms and conditions consistent with the Senior Secured Term Loan.

The Term C Loan shall bear interest at a benchmark rate, ofsubject to a 16.02.0% floor, plus 12.0% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest is calculatedannum, accrued on the last day of each quarter, commencing September 30, 2021, and willa daily basis, to be paid in kind (“PIK”) on such datepaid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Term C Loan on each interest payment date. The default rate for the Term C Loan shall be Convertible2.0% over and above the non-default rate, subject to the same terms and conditions for the Senior NotesSecured Term Loan.

After repayment of the Senior Secured Term Loan in full, the Company will pay to the Term C Loan Lenders the following premium upon any repayment, prepayment or acceleration of the Term C Loan:

30. The% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs on or prior to May 31, 2022;
65% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022; and
100% of the repaid, prepaid, or accelerated amount, if such repayment, prepayment or acceleration occurs on or after to September 1, 2022.

In connection with the entry into the Term C Loan, the Company has accrued PIK interestissued an aggregate total of14,999,999 Term C Loan Warrants to the Term C Loan Lenders, including related parties, Crestview Partners and David Matlin. Using the accounting guidance in ASC 470, Debt and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Term C Loan Warrants were recognized as equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the proceeds received were allocated as $4.814.7 million and $6.8 million to the Term C Loan and Term C Loan Warrants, respectively, based on the relative fair value at issuance.

The fair value of the Term C Loan was $22.6 million, calculated using a discounted cash flow model. The difference between the Term C Loan principal balance at issuance and the value allocated to it was $6.8 million, which was accounted for as a debt discount. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.7 million of transaction costs related to the Convertible Senior NotesTerm C Loan, which were recorded as debt issuance costs. The debt discount and issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Term C Loan and are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Term C Loan.

The fair value of the Term C Loan Warrants was $10.5 million, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.Term C Loan Warrants, at issuance:

 for 10 trading days during any 20 consecutive trading day period, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of an Equity Linked Note to convert such Equity Linked Notes at the conversion prices set forth above.

In accordance with ASC 480,the Company evaluated the Equity Linked Notes and determined they should be classified as liabilities due to the unconditional obligation to settle the notes in a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. Certain of the Equity Linked Notes issued were initially measured at fair value as they were considered new instruments issued concurrently to extinguish the Series A preferred stock. See “Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity” for the discussion of Series A preferred stock exchange.

The initial measurement at fair value of those certain Equity Linked Notes resulted in the Company recording a premium of $1.9 million and a total discount of $16.1 million. The Company amortizes such premium and discount as an adjustment to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Equity Linked Notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred transaction costs related to the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes of $4.4 million which were recorded as debt issuance costs and are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes. Amortization expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes was $27 and $706 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and is presented in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Stock

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated U.S. Well Services, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “LTIP”), the Company grants shares of restricted Class A common stock ("restricted stock") to certain employees and directors. Restricted stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and is generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient is no longer an employee or director of the Company prior to the lapse of the restriction. Restricted stock granted to employees generally vests over four years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the grant date and grants to directors generally vest in full after one year. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)

The Company awards DSUs to certain key employees of the Company pursuant to the LTIP. Each DSU represents the right to receive 1 share of the Company’s Class A common stock. DSUs generally vest over three years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date, subject to the grantee’s continuous service through each vesting period.

Pool A Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool A Performance Awards (“Pool A Awards”) to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool A Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, a fixed monetary amount either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on its closing share price on the date of settlement. The Pool A Awards vest in full one year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the applicable award agreement but settlement does not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

The Company accounts for the Pool A Awards under liability accounting as a result of the fixed monetary amount that could be settled either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Since the settlement will not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the Company considers the delayed settlement as a post-vesting restriction which would impact the determination of grant-date fair value of the award.

In 2020, the Company granted Pool A Awards which fully vested on January 1, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted Pool A Awards that will fully vest on January 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Pool A Awards liabilities were remeasured to $2.9 million and $3.4 million for the 2020 and 2021 Pool A Awards, respectively, which was estimated using a risk-adjusted discount rate reflecting the weighted-average cost of capital of similarly traded public companies.

As of September 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to Pool A Awards was $4.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.58 years.

Pool B Performance Awards

The Company grants Pool B Performance Awards ("Pool B Awards") to certain key employees of the Company. Each Pool B Award represents the right to receive, at the Company’s election, either a cash payment calculated in accordance with the award agreement, or a fixed number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Pool B Awards vest over three years in equal installments each year on the anniversary of the vesting effective date specified in the applicable award agreement, subject to the grantee’s continuous services through each vesting period. The grant date fair value of the Pool B Awards is determined using the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the grant date.

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (as amended, the “CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act contains several corporate income tax provisions, including, among other things, providing a 5-year carryback of net operating loss (“NOL”) tax carryforwards generated in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, removing the 80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs if carried back to prior tax years or utilized in tax years beginning before 2021, temporarily liberalizing the interest deductions rules under Section 163(j) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and making corporate alternative minimum tax credits immediately refundable. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company filed an application to carry back its 2018 NOLs, claiming a refund of approximately $0.8 million, which was received during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was (0.06)%.

We follow guidance issued by the FASB in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.

We have considered our exposure under the standard at both the federal and state tax levels. We did 0t record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. We record income tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. We did not incur any material interest or penalties on income taxes.

After consideration of all of the information available, management determined that a valuation allowance was appropriate, as it is more likely than not that the Company will not utilize its net deferred tax assets.

Litigation

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Self-insurance

The Company established a self-insured plan for employees’ healthcare benefits except for losses in excess of varying threshold amounts. The Company charges to expense all actual claims made during each reporting period, as well as an estimate of claims incurred, but not yet reported. The amount of estimated claims incurred, but not reported was $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was reported as accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes that the liabilities recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and does not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued for existing claims.

These factors include geological, operating and economic factors and changes in prices and market conditions, including changes in expected or realized oil and gas prices and demand for oilfield services and changes in supply or demand for maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and service; the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions; our ability to obtain financing, raise capital and continue as a going concern; our ability to implement our internal growth and acquisition growth strategies; general economic and business conditions specific to our primary customers; our ability to collect accounts receivable; compliance with our debt agreements and equity-related securities; volatility in market prices; our ability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq with respect to our Class A common stock and warrants or to cure any continued listing standard deficiency with respect thereto; changes in government regulations; our ability to effectively integrate businesses we may acquire; new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; availability of materials and labor; inability to obtain or delay in obtaining government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as natural disasters, catastrophes and severe weather conditions, including floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; public health crises, such as a pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic and new and potentially more contagious variants of COVID-19, such as the delta variant;COVID-19; acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; and cyber-attacks adversely affecting our operation. This Quarterly Report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. There can be no assurance that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences also include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC, including under "Risk Factors"Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our Amended Annual Report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Overview

We provide pressure pumping services in oil and natural gas basins. Our Clean Fleet® well stimulationelectric fleets are among the most reliable and highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to meet the most demanding pressure and pump rate requirements. In May 2021, we announced the next generation of our Clean Fleet® technology withthe unveiling of our newly designed Nyx Clean Fleet®. We anticipate the first Nyx Clean Fleet® to be delivered in the second quarter of 2022.

We operate in many of the active shale and unconventional oil and natural gas basins of the United States and our clients benefit from the performance and reliability of our equipment and personnel. Specifically, all of our fleets operate on a 24-hour basis and have the ability to withstand high utilization rates, which results in more efficient operations. Our senior management team has extensive industry experience providing pressure pumping services to exploration and production companies across North America. In May 2021, we announcedSince announcing our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in AugustMay 2021, we ceased operationshave sold most of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesellegacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping market. As a resultequipment. We have retained some of this strategicour legacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment for use during our transition weto support our electric fleets and bridge the time gap between our customers' current service needs and the deployment of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®. Upon delivery, our Nyx Clean Fleets® are the only publicly-traded, pure-play electric completions services provider.intended to replace any conventional fleet in operation.

How the Company Generates Revenue

We generate revenue by providing pressure pumping services to our customers. We own and operate fleets of well stimulationpressure pumping equipment to perform these services. We seek to enter into contractual arrangements with our customers or fleet dedications, which establish pricing terms for a fixed duration. Under the terms of these agreements, we charge our customers base monthly rates, adjusted for activity and provision of materials such as proppant and chemicals, or we charge a variable rate based on the nature of the job including pumping time, well pressure, sandproppant and chemical volumes and transportation.

Our Costs of Conducting Business

The principal costs involved in conducting our pressure pumping services are labor, maintenance, equipment rentals, including the rental of power generation equipment, materials, and transportation costs. A large portion of our costs are variable, based on the number and requirements of pressure pumping jobs. We manage our fixed costs, other than depreciation and amortization, based on factors including industry conditions and the expected demand for our services.

Materials include the cost of sandproppant delivered to the basin of operations, chemicals, and other consumables used in our operations. These costs vary based on the quantity and type of sandproppant and chemicals utilized when providing pressure pumping services. Transportation represents the costs to transport materials and equipment from receipt points to customer locations. Labor costs include payroll and benefits related to our field crews and other employees. Most of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. Maintenance costs include preventative and other repair costs that do not require the replacement of major components of our well stimulation fleets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Significant Trends

InSince our announcement in May 2021 we announcedof our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider, and in August 2021, we ceased operationshave sold most of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. As a result, we have been executing on our plan to sell our diesellegacy, diesel-powered pressure pumping equipment. The proceeds received from these sales were used to reduce the outstanding principal balance of our SeniorTerm A and Term B Loan (collectively the “Senior Secured Term Loan and pay applicable prepayment penalties. Additionally, we expectLoan”), which resulted in no cash interest payments for the corresponding reduction of average active fleets to have a short-term significant impact on our results of operations as we ended our remaining contracts which utilize conventional diesel pressure pumping equipment in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021. Specifically, we expect2022 and an interest rate of (i) 1.0% per annum in cash and (ii) 4.125% per annum PIK interest from April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Our revenues cost of services, and depreciation to decline entering the fourth quarter of 2021, until such time we are able to generate business activity from four new next-generation all-electric fleets, the first of which we expect to be delivered lateoperating costs remained lower in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021, as we continued to experience a lower average active fleet count resulting from our ongoing exit from the diesel pressure pumping market. However, we experienced an uptick in our utilization rate as a greater proportion of our fleets were working under contract as opposed to the spot market, and thus less exposed to customer “white space.” We expect to see our average active fleet count continue to increase as we begin taking delivery of our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets® beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

31During the first quarter of 2022, prompt month futures contracts for WTI crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas averaged $94.92 per Bbl and $4.57 per MMBtu, respectively, as compared to $77.17 per Bbl and $4.85 per MMBtu, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2021. We benefitted from the upward trend in commodity prices, as higher demand for pressure pumping services combined with increasing scarcity of available crews and equipment resulted in a favorable environment for deploying crews and negotiating pricing and other terms with customers. However, during the period, we continued to experience cost inflation for certain goods and services as well as non-productive time driven by supply chain issues such as our customers’ inability to source sufficient materials and transportation for goods. We anticipate that these trends will persist throughout the remainder of 2022.

We expect that completions activity and demand for pressure pumping services will remain elevated throughout the year. We also anticipate that the rising price of diesel fuel will continue to improve the economic benefit of switching from conventional to electric pressure pumping, further increasing demand for next-generation, all-electric fleets such as our Clean Fleets® and Nyx Clean Fleets®.

Revenue. The increasedecrease in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil pricesa lower active fleet count in the prior period. During the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the prior comparable period as we began to transition to an all-electric pressure pumping service provider in May 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our average active fleet count was 6decreased to 4.7 fleets compared to 510.0 fleets in the prior comparable period. However, we expect revenue to decline in future quarters as we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. The increasedecrease in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the increasedecrease in businessvariable costs as activity duewas reduced with a lower number of active fleets in the first quarter of 2022 compared to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the prior period. During the third quarter of 2021, we experienced elevated variableThis was offset by costs for labor, repair and maintenance, trucking and equipment rentals, and also incurred approximately $5.5 million of expenses related to our exit from the diesel pressure pumping market and extraassociated with procuring third-party labor to supplement staff out on COVID quarantine. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $1.0 million in share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter. Due to a vesting start date of January 1, 2021 for some of the share-based awards, $0.7 million of share-based compensation expense was attributable to the first half of 2021. Similar to revenue, we expect cost ofpower generation services excluding depreciation and amortization, to decline in future quarters as we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleettransitioned away from owning power generation assets starting in the third quarter ofOctober 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the lower cost basissale of depreciating long-lived assets becausemost of impairment losses recorded in the first quarter of 2020. We expect depreciation and amortization to decline in future quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to sell our remaining dieseldiesel-powered pressure pumping equipment.equipment during the second half of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to thean increase in consulting fees, information technology costs and reinstatement of salary levels due to improved economic conditions as compared to the prior period. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $3.0 million in share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter. Due to a vesting start date of January 1, 2021 for some of the share-based awards, $2.0 million of share-based compensation expense was attributable toafter the first halfquarter of 2021.

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets. In May 2021, we announced our plan to exit the diesel pressure pumping market and began selling our diesel pressure pumping equipment. As a result, we recognized a net gain on disposal of assets during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to a loss on disposal of assets in the prior period. We anticipate additional gains from the sale of diesel pressure pumping equipment in the coming quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to divest this equipment. Excluding these sales, theThe amount of gain or loss on disposal of assets fluctuates period over period due to differences in the operating conditions of our well stimulationpressure pumping equipment, such as wellbore pressure and rate of barrels pumped per minute, that impactwhich impacts the timing of disposals of our well stimulation pump components.

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $2.9 million of losses associated with the sale of property and equipment.

Interest expense, netnet.. The increase was primarily attributable to the interest expense associated with the Convertible Senior Notes issued during 2021.

Gain on extinguishment of debt, net. During the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $10.1 million for the forgiveness of the PPP loan and accrued interest, offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt for the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees associated with the early repayment of our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Revenue. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the second quarter of 2020. Our average active fleet count during the period increased to 8 fleets compared to 7 fleets in the prior comparable period. However, we expect revenue to decline in future quarters as we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. The increase in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the increase in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the prior comparable period. During the third quarter of 2021, we experienced elevated variable costs for labor, repair and maintenance, trucking and equipment rentals, and also incurred approximately $5.5 million of expenses related to our exit from the diesel pressure pumping market and extra third-party labor to supplement staff out on COVID quarantine. Similar to revenue, we expect cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, to decline in future quarters as we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the third quarter of 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the lower cost basis of depreciating long-lived assets because of impairment losses recorded in the first quarter of 2020. We expect depreciation and amortization to decline in future quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to sell our remaining diesel pressure pumping equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to our recording of a bad debt reserve of $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to the economic downturn, which was partly offset by increases in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 associated with the reinstatement of salary levels due to improved economic conditions as compared to the prior period. Additionally, share-based compensation expense increased in the current period due to share-based awards issued in the fourth quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2021.

33


Impairment of long-lived assets. As a result of impairment tests that we performed in the first quarter of 2020, we determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets exceeded their fair value. Therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $147.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 to reduce the carrying value of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets to fair value. No such impairment charge was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Loss (gain) on disposal of assets. In May 2021, we announced our plan to exit the diesel pressure pumping market and began selling our diesel pressure pumping equipment. As a result, we recognized a net gain on disposal of assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a loss on disposal of assets in the prior period. We anticipate additional gains from the sale of diesel pressure pumping equipment in the coming quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to divest this equipment. Excluding these sales, the amount of gain or loss on disposal of assets fluctuates period over period due to differences in the operating conditions of our well stimulation equipment, such as wellbore pressure and rate of barrels pumped per minute, that impact the timing of disposals of our well stimulation pump components.

Litigation settlement. The Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in January 2019 by a vendor alleging that the Company breached a multi-year contract. In June 2021, following entry of the final judgement by the court in favor of the vendor, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to pay $35.0 million in cash, among other things. The cash portion of the settlement agreement was paid in June 2021.

Patent license sales.On June 24, 2021, the Company issued a Convertible Senior Note in the principal amount of $22.5 million that was convertible into the License Agreement. On June 29, 2021, the holder exercised its right to convert the Convertible Senior Note in full and the Company entered into the License Agreement, which provides the licensee a five-year option to purchase up to 20 licenses to build and operate electric well stimulation fleets using the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology. Upon entry into the License Agreement, the Company sold three licenses to build and operate three electric well stimulation fleets, each valued at $7.5 million.

GainLoss on extinguishment of debt, net.debt. During the third quarter of 2021,three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $10.1 million for the forgiveness of the PPP loan and accrued interest, offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt for the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees associated with the early repayment of our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources arehave historically been cash, on the balance sheet, cash flow generated from operating activities, proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes, and borrowings and borrowing capacity under our ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2022, our total liquidity was $49.6 million, consisting of $41.1 million of cash and restricted cash and $8.5 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility.

31


Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures, payments of contractual obligations, including debt service obligations and working capital.

We believe that our current cash position, current and expected working capital balance,balances, favorable cash interest payment terms under our Senior Secured Term Loan borrowing capacityAgreement, availability under our ABL Credit Facility, andproceeds received from issuance of debt or equity, as well as amounts raised from the issuance of Convertible Senior NotesClass A common stock under our 2022 ATM Agreement, and other anticipated sources of credit will be sufficient to satisfy cash requirements associated with our existing operations, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for the next twelve months. Although there is no assurance, we plan to satisfy our long-term financial obligations through operating cash flows that we could generate as we increase our number of working fleets with our planned additions of Nyx Clean Fleets® and additional financing as our long-term financial obligations mature.

Sources of Cash

During the first quarter of 2022, we raised approximately $68.4 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of approximately $46.9 million common equity through a registered direct offering and under our ATM Agreement and borrowings of $21.5 million under the last-out senior secured term loan (the “Term C Loan”). We intend to use the proceeds for general working capital, including the funding of capital expenditures related to our newbuild Nyx Clean Fleets®.

Registered Direct Offering. On March 11, 2022, we completed a registered direct offering of 14,180,375 shares of Class A common stock and 14,180,375 RDO Investor Warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital purposes, including the funding of certain capital expenditures.

ATM Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold 9,767,941 shares of Class A common stock for total net proceeds of $21.3 million and paid $0.6 million in commissions under the ATM Agreement. Since inception on June 26, 2020 through March 31, 2022, we sold a total of 15,086,100 shares of Class A common stock under the ATM Agreement willfor total net proceeds of $36.4 million and paid $1.1 million in commissions.

2022 ATM Agreement. On April 26, 2022, we entered into a new Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2022 ATM Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. relating to our shares of Class A common stock to replace the former ATM Agreement, which expired on April 26, 2022. We may offer and sell up to a total of $50.0 million in shares of our Class A common stock in an “at-the-market” offering program over a period of time pursuant to the 2022 ATM Agreement. No shares may be sufficientsold under the 2022 ATM Agreement until the registration statement filed on April 26, 2022 has been declared effective by the SEC.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities primarily represents the results of operations exclusive of non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, provision for losses on accounts receivable and inventory, interest, impairment losses, losses on disposal of assets, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and share-based compensation and the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a litigation settlement of $35.0 million and $3.0 million of working capital payments from proceeds under our USDA Loan, which was partly offset by improvement in collection of our receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to accelerated collections of accounts receivables, which was offset in part by interest payments related to our Senior Secured Term Loan during the first quarter of 2020.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $13.6 million from the prior corresponding period, primarily related to proceeds from the sale of property and equipment as we began selling our diesel pressure pumping equipment in May 2021. Net cash used in investing activities was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to $47.6 million in purchases of property and equipment, consisting of $22.6 million related to growth capital expenditures and the remainder related to maintaining and supporting our existing pressure pumping equipment and payments made to replace damaged property and equipment. This was offset in part by $26.6 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and $6.4 million of insurance proceeds related to the damaged property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to $43.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, consisting of $18.8 million related to maintaining and supporting our existing pressure pumping equipment, $0.3 million related to fleet enhancements and $24.8 million related to growth capital expenditures. This was offset in part by proceeds of $15.8 million from the sale of certain property and equipment.

35


Financing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of $97.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes, proceeds of $13.6 million from the issuance of common stock and $2.9 million of net proceeds from notes payable, offset in part by $44.9 million of payments on our Senior Secured Term Loan, $1.4 million of net payments on our ABL Credit Facility and debt issuance costs of $7.1 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of net payments of $25.3 million related to our ABL Credit Facility, $6.2 million repayment of notes payable, $4.3 million of payments for capital leases and debt issuance costs of $20.2 million. This was offset by $19.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Series B preferred stock and $10.0 million of proceeds from the PPP Loan.

Capital Expenditures. Our business requires continual investments to upgrade or enhance existing property and equipment and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital expenditures primarily relate to maintenance capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures and fleet enhancement capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures needed to maintain and to support our current operations. Growth capital expenditures include expenditures to add additional fleets and generate incremental distributable cash flow. Fleet enhancement capital expenditures include expenditures on new equipment related to technology enhancements to existing fleets that increase the productivity of the fleet.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our capital expenditures was $11.1 million. We currently expect that growth capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, will be approximately $95 million to $115 million for the remainder of 2022, primarily related to the buildout of our four new Nyx Clean Fleets®and associated equipment. Capital expenditures for growth and fleet enhancement initiatives are discretionary.

We classify maintenance capital expenditures as expenditures required to maintain or supplement existing well stimulation fleets. We budget maintenance capital expenditures based on historical run rates and current maintenance schedules. Growth capital expenditures relate to adding additional well stimulation fleets and are based on quotes obtained from equipment manufacturers and our estimate for the timing of placing orders, disbursing funds and receiving the equipment. Fleet enhancement capital expenditures relate to technology enhancements to existing fleets that increase their productivity and are based on quotes obtained from equipment manufacturers and our estimate for the timing of placing orders, disbursing funds and receiving the equipment.

We continuously evaluate our capital expenditures and the amount we ultimately spend will depend on several factors, including expected industry activity levels and company initiatives. We intend to fund most of our capital expenditures, contractual obligations and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowing capacity under our ABL Credit Facility and other financing sources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include equipment and sand purchase commitments disclosed in “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We do not have a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity, we do not have any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, and we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Status

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the classification of the Company’s warrants as components of equity instead of as liabilities as more fully described in our Amended Annual Report. Management implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We further improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. Management believes that the previously identified material weakness has been remediated as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The new ERP system replaced our previous accounting system and general ledger. As a result of this implementation, the Company modified certain existing controls and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system to maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during and after the system change. We will continue to monitor the impact of this implementation on our processes and procedures, as well as the impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.

Other than the changes described above, thereThere were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

See “Note 1712 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Except as set forth below, no material changes have occurred from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Amended Annual Report. See also Part I, Item 2 “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our exit from the diesel pressure pumping market may negatively impact our liquidity and our ability to generate revenues and service our outstanding indebtedness for a period of time.

In May 2021, we announced our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. We have sold a portion of our diesel pressure pumping equipment and expect to continue to sell off the remainder of our diesel pressure pumping equipment, which has and will result in a reduction in the number of fleets we have available to provide pressure pumping services until we are able to build out our all-electric well stimulation equipment. Until we are able to complete the build out of the electric equipment, we expect to generate less revenue, which may adversely impact our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness. Additionally, the decrease in revenue will result in a reduction in the borrowing base available under our ABL Credit Facility, which may adversely impact our liquidity.
