The Company's operations are managed regionally and are concentrated in major United States onshore oil-producing regions located in Texas, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado, and Montana. Our operations are focused in prolific basins that have historically exhibited strong drilling and production economics in recent years as well as natural gas-focused shale plays characterized by prolific reserves. Specifically, the Company has a significant presence in the Permian Basin, Bakken, Los Angeles and San Joaquin Basins, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Powder River Basin.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods presented and are not indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Current Environment, Liquidity and Going Concern
Demand for services offered by our industry is a function of our customers’ willingness and ability to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons in the United States. Our customers’ expenditures are affected by both current and expected levels of commodity prices. Industry conditions during 2021 continue to be influenced by factors that impacted the supply and demand of the global oil markets in 2020, primarily the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the resulting lower demand for oil. The increased price of West Texas Intermediate oil ("WTI") in the first quarter of 2021 increased our customers' activity levels; however, we continue to maintain discipline to only offer our services into the market at profitable job margins, which we began to realize in the second half of the first quarter. This trend has continued into the second quarter. Our first quarter results were also negatively impacted by the severe winter storm that affected our Texas operating locations in February 2021.
As a result of weak energy sector conditions that began in 2020 and the resulting lower demand for our services, our customer pricing, our operating results, our working capital and our operating cash flows have been negatively impacted. During the last half of 2020, we had difficulty paying for our contractual obligations as they came due, and we continue to have this difficulty in 2021.
Management has taken several steps to generate additional liquidity, including reducing operating and administrative costs, employee headcount reductions, closing operating locations, implementing employee furloughs, other cost reduction measures, and the suspension of growth capital expenditures. The decline in customers’ demand for our services has had a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Company, resulting in recurring losses from operations, a net capital deficiency, and liquidity constraints that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the May 17, 2021 issuance date of these financial statements. Other steps that we may or are implementing to attempt to alleviate this substantial doubt include additional sales of non-strategic assets, obtaining waivers of debt covenant requirements from our lenders, restructuring or refinancing our debt agreements, or obtaining equity financing. In addition, we had a significant contractual obligation to pay cash or issue additional 10.75% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Senior Notes") to our largest shareholder, Ascribe III Investments LLC ("Ascribe"), resulting from our acquisition of CJWS. On March 31, 2021, the Company negotiated a settlement of this obligation with Ascribe in exchange for issuing additional Senior Notes to Ascribe with an aggregate par value of $47.5 million.
On April 15, 2021, the Company announced it elected to utilize the 30-day grace period under the terms of the
5


indenture governing its Senior Notes with respect to a $16.3 million interest payment (the "Senior Notes Interest Payment") due that day. The Company believed it was in the best interests of all stakeholders to use the grace period to continue its ongoing discussions with its debtholders regarding strategic alternatives to improve the Company’s long-term capital structure.
The Company also announced it had entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the "ABL Forbearance Agreement") on April 14, 2021 with a majority of the lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to forbear from exercising remedies in respect of certain events of default thereunder, including the failure to pay interest on the Senior Notes, until April 28, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events) (the "ABL Forbearance Period").
On April 28, 2021, the Company entered into the Limited Consent and First Amendment to the ABL Forbearance Agreement (the “ABL Forbearance Amendment”) with a majority of its lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to extend the ABL Forbearance Period to May 15, 2021 and consent to the incurrence of the New Term Loan Facility (as defined below), if the Company completed certain asset sales, amended the indenture governing its Senior Notes to allow for the incurrence of the New Term Loan Facility and, obtained a forbearance for certain of its other indebtedness, as applicable. The Company satisfied these conditions and on May 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Super Priority Credit Agreement (the “Super Priority Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Super Priority Credit Agreement provides for a super priority loan facility consisting of term loans in a principal amount of $10.0 million (the “New Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the New Term Loan Facility and the other agreements entered into in connection with the New Term Loan Facility. The New Term Loan Facility originally matured on May 15, 2021; provided that such date could be extended for up to thirty days with the prior written consent of lenders holding 66 2/3% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the term loans. At the Company’s election, loans outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility accrue interest at an annualized interest rate of either a base rate plus 10.00% or LIBOR plus 11.00%. The Company may prepay the New Term Loan Facility at any time if the Company simultaneously prepays the aggregate outstanding principal amount of its Senior Notes and Senior Secured Promissory Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On May 10, 2021, the Lenders under the New Term Loan Facility extended the maturity date of the facility to May 23, 2021 and corresponding adjustments to certain interim milestones therein.
On May 3, 2021, the Company and Ascribe entered into a consent letter (the “Ascribe Consent Letter”) pursuant to which Ascribe agreed to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies they may have in respect of the Company's failure to pay interest on the notes described therein from. On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Ascribe Consent Letter to extend the forbearance period to May 23, 2021.
On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into the (i) Second Amendment to the ABL Forbearance Agreement with a majority of its lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to extend the ABL Forbearance Period to May 23, 2021 and to make corresponding adjustments to certain interim milestones therein, and (ii) the Forbearance Agreement with the requisite number of lenders under the New Term Loan Facility who agreed to forbear from exercising remedies in respect of certain events of default thereunder, including the failure to pay interest on the Senior Notes following the expiration of the applicable grace period, until May 23, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events). In addition, on May 14, 2021, the holders of approximately $316.4 million in aggregate principal amount, or 91.06%, of the $347.5 million issued and outstanding Senior Notes, subject to certain conditions precedent and continuing conditions, agreed that during the Forbearance Period ending on May 23, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events) they would not enforce, or otherwise take any action to direct enforcement of, any of the rights and remedies available to the Holders, the Trustee of the Collateral Agent, under the Indenture for the Senior Notes, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action to accelerate the Senior Notes with respect to the Senior Notes Interest Payment.
We are in continuing discussions with the holders of the Company’s Senior Notes and other indebtedness regarding strategic alternatives including financings, refinancings, amendments, waivers, forbearances, asset sales, debt issuances, and exchanges of debt, a combination of the foregoing, or other out-of-court or in-court bankruptcy restructurings of our debt and other transactions to address our capital structure.
If the Company is unable to effectuate a successful debt restructuring, the Company expects that it will continue to experience adverse pressures on its relationships with counterparties who are critical to its business, its ability to access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects, results of operations and liquidity generally. There can be no assurance as to when or whether, or on what terms the Company will implement any action as a result of these strategic initiatives, whether the implementation of one or
6


more such actions will be successful, whether the Company will be able to effect a refinancing of its Senior Notes or the effects the failure to take action may have on the Company’s business, its ability to achieve its operational and strategic goals or its ability to finance its business or refinance or restructure its indebtedness. A failure to address the Company’s level of corporate leverage in the near-term will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to service its corporate debt as it becomes due.
Management has prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates that assets will be realized and liabilities will be discharged in the normal course of business as they become due. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company was unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material and adverse to the financial results of the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications do not impact net loss and do not reflect a material change to the information previously presented in the accompanying unauditedour condensed consolidated financial statements.
EmergenceStandards Adopted in 2021
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” ("ASU 2019-12"). ASU 2019-12 intends to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes and removes certain exceptions to the general principles in the standard. Additionally, the ASU clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of its requirements. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 were adopted as of January 1, 2021, and the impact of the adoption was not material.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

Indebtedness and Borrowing Facility, for further discussion of the credit facility. The Company’s restricted cash is classified as current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
3. Discontinued Operations
During the third and fourth quarters of 2019, the Company's management decided to divest all of its contract drilling rigs, and a majority of pressure pumping equipment and related ancillary equipment. The majority of the real estate and equipment was sold during late 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, with the remaining, primarily real estate assets classified as assets held for sale. The Company is pursuing additional transactions to divest the remainder of these non-strategic assets during 2021.
The operating results of the pressure pumping operations and contract drilling operations, which were historically included in the Completions & Remedial Services and Other Services segments, have been reclassified

Issuance of Senior Notes to Settle Make-Whole Reimbursement
On March 31, 2021, the Company negotiated a settlement of the contractual make-whole obligation to its controlling shareholder in exchange for issuing additional Senior Notes to this shareholder with an aggregate par value of $47.5 million. The Company's make-whole obligation related to the acquisition of CJWS was accounted for as a derivative instrument until this settlement. The Senior Notes were issued at a fair value of $9.5 million based on the market pricing of our Senior Notes on March 31, 2021, and resulted in a discount of $38.0 million on these Senior Notes that will be accreted over the remaining term of the notes through 2023. We recorded a corresponding loss of $4.8 million on this derivative instrument for the first quarter of 2021.
For further discussion of the Senior Notes, including events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2021, see Note 1. "Basis of Presentation and Current Environment."
ABL Credit Facility
On October 2, 2018, the Company entered into an asset-based lending credit agreement that expires on October 2, 2023. The credit agreement will expire on July 3, 2023, if the Senior Notes have not been redeemed by that time. The credit agreement included a revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million at December 31, 2020.
The amount of borrowings available under the ABL Credit Facility are limited to a borrowing base capacity, which is based on eligible accounts receivable and eligible pledged cash, which the Company can advance to the administrative agent as necessary. The ABL Credit Facility includes a sublimit for letters of credit of up to $50.0 million.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable rate, plus, at the Company’s option, either a base rate or a LIBOR rate. The applicable rate in a fiscal quarter is determined by the average daily availability as a percentage of the borrowing base during the previous fiscal quarter.
If the availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls below $9.4 million, then certain covenants including a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and cash dominion provisions will spring into effect. To avoid triggering certain of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratios and cash dominion covenants which spring into effect under certain minimum availability covenant requirements defined in the ABL Credit Facility, we had $15.5 million of our available cash balance advanced to the administrative agent as of March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 0 borrowings and $35.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2021, we had $11.2 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility, but we are restricted from borrowing this amount because of restrictions regarding the minimum availability covenant noted above.
The ABL Credit Facility has a covenant whereby the Company would be in default if the report of its independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s annual financial statements included a going concern qualification or like exemption. On March 31, 2021, the Company obtained a waiver under the ABL Credit Facility with respect to any such default arising with respect to the 2020 audited financial statements and also agreed to reduce the maximum aggregate principal amount of the ABL Credit Facility from $75.0 million to $60.0 million. As a result, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement at March 31, 2021.
For further discussion of the ABL Credit Facility, including events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2021, see Note 1. "Basis of Presentation and Current Environment."
The Company was also in compliance with the debt covenants under its other debt agreements as of March 31, 2021.

$7,258 $99,694 
Long-lived asset impairments - In the first quarter of 2021, we incurred $4.4 million of impairments for certain real estate held for sale, which was subsequently sold in May 2021. In March 2020, the reduction in demand for our services resulted in a long-lived asset impairment of $84.2 million related to property and equipment in our Well Servicing segment.
Transaction costs - In connection with liability management, we incurred $2.6 million of legal and professional consulting costs during the first quarter of 2021.
Field restructuring costs - In the first quarter of 2021, we incurred $0.2 million of costs associated with yard closures in connection with our field restructuring initiative. We incurred $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to yard closures.
Goodwill impairments - On March 31, 2020, due to the reduction in demand for our services, we determined that the fair value of the Well Servicing reporting unit was less than its carrying value, which resulted in a goodwill impairment of $10.6 million for this reporting unit.
Inventory write-downs - In connection with the Company’s emergence from its bankruptcy cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), on December 23, 2016 (the "Effective Date"),downturn in our business in the Company applied the provisionsfirst quarter of fresh start accounting, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, to its consolidated financial statements.

7. Income Taxes
The implementationCompany provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (as confirmed, the "Prepackaged Plan") and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016deferred tax assets will not be comparablerealized. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to our consolidated financial statementsestimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. Based on this
10


evaluation, as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162021, a valuation allowance continues to be recorded on the net deferred tax assets for all federal and state tax jurisdictions.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
FASB ASC 450 - "Contingencies" (“ASC 450”) governs the Company’s disclosure and recognition of loss contingencies, including pending claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties, investigations and other actions that are incurred in the operation of our business. ASC 450 uses the following defined terms to describe the likelihood of a future loss: probable – the future event or for periods subsequentevents are likely to December 31, 2016.
References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer tooccur, remote – the Company on or after December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the implementationchance of the Prepackaged Planfuture event or events is slight, and reasonably possible – the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely. ASC 450 also contains certain requirements with respect to how we accrue for and disclose information concerning our loss contingencies. We accrue for a loss contingency when we conclude that the likelihood of a loss is probable and the application of fresh start accounting. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to December 31, 2016. Additionally, references to periods on or after December 31, 2016 refer to the Successor and references to periods prior to December 31, 2016 refer to the Predecessor.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2017, our primary capital resources were utilization of capital leases and borrowings under our $100.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “New ABL Facility”). As of September 30, 2017, we had $64.0 million in borrowings under the New ABL Facility. At September 30, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $43.2 million compared to $98.9 million as of December 31, 2016. An additional amount of $47.7 millionthe loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the loss is classified as restricted cash. We have utilized,within a range of amounts, and expect to utilizeno amount in the future, bankrange constitutes a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the amount at the low end of the range. We adjust our accruals from time to time as we receive additional information, but the loss we incur may be significantly greater than or less than the amount we have accrued. We disclose loss contingencies if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. No accrual or disclosure is required for losses that are remote.
Arlisa Ann Carr, Individually and capital lease financingas Representative of the Estate of Dexture Carr, Deceased v. Dewan Tyrel Mosley and salesC&J Well Services, Inc.: On or around October 2, 2018, Arlisa Carr filed a lawsuit against CJWS in the 115th District Court of equity to obtain capital resources. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.
On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the New ABL Facility. AmongUpshur County, Texas (Cause No.630-18), which alleged, among other things, Amendment No. 1 (i) increasedthat CJWS was negligent with respect to an automobile accident in March 2018. MS. Carr was seeking monetary relief of more than $1 million. CJWS denied these allegations and the case was set for trial in May 2021. Immediately before the commencement of the trial we settled this matter for $2.5 million, which resulted in a $1.4 million charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2021.
We believe that costs associated with other litigation matters, individually or in the aggregate, commitments under the Credit Agreement from $100 million to $120 million, (ii) appointed CIT Bank, N.A. to serve as syndication agent and (iii) added new lenders and amended the commitment schedule to the Credit Agreement.

Currently, Basic has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to bring Basic into total compliance with the laws and regulations. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of Basic’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Litigation
From time to time, Basic is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that Basic considers to be a part of the ordinary course of business.

Basic has deductibles per occurrence for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, automobile liability and medical coverage of $5.0 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $400,000, respectively. Basic maintains accruals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.

13.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" representsproperty. We entered into a comprehensive revenue recognition standard to supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and align GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The core principlesimultaneous lease of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to match the deliveryproperty for an initial term of goods or services to customers to the consideration the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for two transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented subject to certain practical expedients, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, and which includes additional disclosures regarding the change in accounting principle in the current period. We plan to adopt the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior period presented.three years.
The standard will be effective for Basic beginning January 1, 2018. In preparation to adopt the standard, we are performing a detailed review of key contracts with customers which are representative of our revenue streams. While we are still in the process of performing the review and analysis of our contracts to support our assessments, the substantial majority of our services are performed at a point in time, revenue is recognized at the time of performance, and this is expected remain unchanged. We do not incur significant contract costs.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - “Leases (Topic 842).” The purpose of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for Basic in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Basic has begun a project to identify all operating leases greater than one year and implementing new leasing software to track operating and capital leases. Basic expects to recognize additional right-of-use assets and liabilities related to operating leases with terms longer than one year.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15-"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standard is effective for Basic for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The

amendments in this update are intended to clarify cash flow treatment of certain cash flows with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.
In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18- "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which clarifies the treatment of cash inflows into and cash payments from restricted cash. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The amendments of this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

ITEM 2.  2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, or beliefs. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise specified, all comparisons made are to the corresponding period of 2020.
Management’s Overview
Basic Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Basic”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provides wellsite services essential to maintaining production from the oil and gas wells within its operating areas. The Company's operations are managed regionally and are concentrated in major United States onshore oil-producing regions located in Texas, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado, and Montana. Our operations are focused in prolific basins that have historically exhibited strong drilling and production economics in recent years as well as natural gas-focused shale plays characterized by prolific reserves. Specifically, the Company has a significant presence in the Permian Basin, Bakken, Los Angeles and San Joaquin Basins, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Powder River Basin. Our results of operations include the results of C&J Well Services, Inc. ("CJWS") since the acquisition on March 9, 2020.
Summary Financial Results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $94.3 million, which represented a decrease of $34.1 million from the first quarter of 2020.
Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter 2021 was $33.5 million, compared to $136.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.6 million, which represented a decrease from adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. See later in this MD&A for our reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA.
(1)Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP. See "Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted EBITDA" below for further explanation and reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Current Environment, Liquidity, and Going Concern
Demand for services offered by our industry is a function of our customers’ willingness and ability to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons in the United States. Our customers’ expenditures are affected by both current and expected levels of commodity prices. Industry conditions during 2021 continue to be influenced by factors that impacted the supply and demand of the global oil markets in 2020, primarily the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the resulting lower demand for oil. The increased price of West Texas Intermediate oil ("WTI") in the first quarter of 2021 increased our customers' activity levels; however, we continue to maintain discipline to only offer our services into the market at profitable job margins, which we began to realize in the second half of the first quarter. This trend has continued into the second quarter. Our first quarter results were also negatively impacted by the severe winter storm that affected our Texas operating locations in February 2021.
As a result of weak energy sector conditions that began in 2020 and the resulting lower demand for our services, our customer pricing, our operating results, our working capital and our operating cash flows have been negatively impacted. During the last half of 2020, we had difficulty paying for our contractual obligations as they came due, and we continue to have this difficulty in 2021.
Management has taken several steps to generate additional liquidity, including reducing operating and administrative costs, employee headcount reductions, closing operating locations, implementing employee furloughs, other cost reduction measures, and the suspension of growth capital expenditures. The decline in customers’ demand for our services has had a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Company, resulting in recurring losses from operations, a net capital deficiency, and liquidity constraints that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the May 17, 2021 issuance date of these financial statements. Other steps that we may or are implementing to attempt to alleviate this substantial doubt include additional sales of non-strategic assets, obtaining waivers of debt covenant requirements from our lenders, restructuring or refinancing our debt agreements, or obtaining equity financing. In addition, we had
14


a significant contractual obligation to pay cash or issue additional 10.75% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Senior Notes") to our largest shareholder, Ascribe III Investments LLC ("Ascribe"), resulting from our acquisition of CJWS. On March 31, 2021, the Company negotiated a settlement of this obligation with Ascribe in exchange for issuing additional Senior Notes to Ascribe with an aggregate par value of $47.5 million.
On April 15, 2021, the Company announced it elected to utilize the 30-day grace period under the terms of the indenture governing its Senior Notes with respect to a $16.3 million interest payment (the "Senior Notes Interest Payment") due that day. The Company believed it was in the best interests of all stakeholders to use the grace period to continue its ongoing discussions with its debtholders regarding strategic alternatives to improve the Company’s long-term capital structure.
The Company also announced it had entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the "ABL Forbearance Agreement") on April 14, 2021 with a majority of the lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to forbear from exercising remedies in respect of certain events of default thereunder, including the failure to pay interest on the Senior Notes, until April 28, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events) (the "ABL Forbearance Period").
On April 28, 2021, the Company entered into the Limited Consent and First Amendment to the ABL Forbearance Agreement (the “ABL Forbearance Amendment”) with a majority of its lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to extend the ABL Forbearance Period to May 15, 2021 and consent to the incurrence of the New Term Loan Facility (as defined below), if the Company completed certain asset sales, amended the indenture governing its Senior Notes to allow for the incurrence of the New Term Loan Facility and, obtained a forbearance for certain of its other indebtedness, as applicable. The Company satisfied these conditions and on May 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Super Priority Credit Agreement (the “Super Priority Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Super Priority Credit Agreement provides for a super priority loan facility consisting of term loans in a principal amount of $10.0 million (the “New Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the New Term Loan Facility and the other agreements entered into in connection with the New Term Loan Facility. The New Term Loan Facility originally matured on May 15, 2021; provided that such date could be extended for up to thirty days with the prior written consent of lenders holding 66 2/3% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the term loans. At the Company’s election, loans outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility accrue interest at an annualized interest rate of either a base rate plus 10.00% or LIBOR plus 11.00%. The Company may prepay the New Term Loan Facility at any time if the Company simultaneously prepays the aggregate outstanding principal amount of its Senior Notes and Senior Secured Promissory Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On May 10, 2021, the Lenders under the New Term Loan Facility extended the maturity date of the facility to May 23, 2021 and corresponding adjustments to certain interim milestones therein.
On May 3, 2021, the Company and Ascribe entered into a consent letter (the “Ascribe Consent Letter”) pursuant to which Ascribe agreed to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies they may have in respect of the Company's failure to pay interest on the notes described therein from. On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Ascribe Consent Letter to extend the forbearance period to May 23, 2021.
On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into the (i) Second Amendment to the ABL Forbearance Agreement with a majority of its lenders under its revolving credit facility who agreed to extend the ABL Forbearance Period to May 23, 2021 and to make corresponding adjustments to certain interim milestones therein, and (ii) the Forbearance Agreement with the requisite number of lenders under the New Term Loan Facility who agreed to forbear from exercising remedies in respect of certain events of default thereunder, including the failure to pay interest on the Senior Notes following the expiration of the applicable grace period, until May 23, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events). In addition, on May 14, 2021, the holders of approximately $316.4 million in aggregate principal amount, or 91.06%, of the $347.5 million issued and outstanding Senior Notes, subject to certain conditions precedent and continuing conditions, agreed that during the Forbearance Period ending on May 23, 2021 (subject to certain early termination events) they would not enforce, or otherwise take any action to direct enforcement of, any of the rights and remedies available to the Holders, the Trustee of the Collateral Agent, under the Indenture for the Senior Notes, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action to accelerate the Senior Notes with respect to the Senior Notes Interest Payment.
We provide a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, well servicing, water logistics and contract drilling. Our emergence from bankruptcy, and various market fluctuations, may make our revenues, expenses and income not directly comparable between periods.
Our total hydraulic horsepower (“hhp”) increased to 523,000 atare in continuing discussions with the endholders of the thirdCompany’s Senior Notes and other indebtedness regarding strategic alternatives including financings, refinancings, amendments, waivers, forbearances, asset sales, debt issuances, and exchanges of debt, a combination of the foregoing, or other out-of-court or in-court bankruptcy restructurings of our debt and other transactions to address our capital structure.

If the Company is unable to effectuate a successful debt restructuring, the Company expects that it will continue to experience adverse pressures on its relationships with counterparties who are critical to its business, its ability to access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects, results of operations and liquidity generally. There can be no assurance as to when or whether, or on what terms the Company will implement any action as a result of these strategic initiatives, whether the implementation of one or more such actions will be successful, whether the Company will be able to effect a refinancing of its Senior Notes or the effects the failure to take action may have on the Company’s business, its ability to achieve its operational and strategic goals or its ability to finance its business or refinance or restructure its indebtedness. A failure to address the Company’s level of corporate leverage in the near-term will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to service its corporate debt as it becomes due.

 During the fourth quarter of 2015, oil prices declined to levels below $50 per barrel (WTI Cushing) and dropped to levels below $30 in early 2016 before rebounding in late 2016.  During 2017, oil prices gradually improved with pricing in the low-$50 range by the end of the third quarter. As a result of the overall increase in pricing, our customers’reduced activity levels and utilization of our equipment have gradually improved.  General improvementemployee headcount. These decreases were partially offset by the full quarter impact in customer confidence has caused the North American onshore drilling rig count to slowly rise, resulting in an increase in completion-related activity during the first nine months of 2017. Additionally, production related activities, such as well servicing and water logistics, have seen increases in utilization as customers have enhanced their maintenance and workover budgets in 2017.
As a result of gradual improvements in oil pricing and high concentration of equipment and activity, utilization and pricing for our services have remained competitive in our oil-based operating areas. Natural gas prices have been depressed for a prolonged period and utilization and pricing for our services in our natural gas-based operating areas have remained challenged.
We believe that the most important performance measures for our business segments are as follows:
Completion and Remedial Services — segment profits as a percent of revenues;
Well Servicing — rig hours, rig utilization rate, revenue per rig hour, profits per rig hour and segment profits as a percent of revenues; 
Water Logistics — trucking hours, revenue per truck, segment profits per truck and segment profits as a percent of revenues; and
Contract Drilling — rig operating days, revenue per drilling day, profits per drilling day and segment profits as a percent of revenues.
Segment profits are computed as segment operating revenues less direct operating costs. These measurements provide important information to us about the activity and profitability of our lines of business. For a detailed analysis of these indicators for the Company, see “Segment Overview” below.
Selected Acquisitionsand Divestitures
During the year ended December 31, 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, we did not enter into or complete any business acquisitions or divestitures.

Segment Overview
Completion and Remedial Services
During the first nine months of 2017, our completion and remedial services segment represented approximately 50% of our revenues. Revenues from our completion and remedial services segment are generally derived from a variety of services designed to complete and stimulate new oil and natural gas production or place cement slurry within the wellbores. Our completion and remedial services segment includes pumping services, rental and fishing tool operations, coiled tubing services, nitrogen services, snubbing and other services.  
Our pumping services provide both large and mid-sized fracturing services in selected markets, including vertical and horizontal wellbores. Cementing and acidizing services also are included in our pumping services operations. Our total hydraulic horsepower capacity for our pumping operations was 523,000 at September 30, 2017 and 444,000 at September 30, 2016, respectively. Weighted average horsepower increased to 520,000 for the third quarter of 2017 from 444,000 in the third quarter of 2016.
In this segment, we derive our revenues on a project-by-project basis in a competitive bidding process. Our bids are based on the amount and type of equipment and personnel required, with the materials consumed billed separately. During the extended period of decreased spending by oil and gas companies in 2015 and 2016, we discounted our rates to remain competitive, which caused lower segment profits. As activity has improved in the first nine months of 2017, we have regained pricing increases and higher utilization of equipment.
The following is an analysis of our completion and remedial services segment for each2021 of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

The increase in completion and remedial services revenue to $123.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $107.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from the addition of new equipment and higher prices in our coil tubing and fracing operations.CJWS acquisition. Segment profits as a percentage of revenuesegment revenues increased to 32%19% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 from 24%17% in second2020 due to our cost saving initiatives and the full quarter impact of the CJWS acquisition.
Water Logistics Segment: Costs of services for the Water Logistics segment decreased by 27% to $24.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 on2021 from $33.1 million in 2020 due to reduced activity levels and employee headcount. Segment profits as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 13% in the incrementalfirst quarter of 2021 from 25% in 2020 due to decreased pricing for our services in 2021 and severe weather in the first quarter of 2021 leading to a decline in disposal volumes. Additionally, the segment profits for this segment in the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by a $1.4 million charge to earnings related to the settlement of an automobile insurance claim.
Completion & Remedial Segment: Costs of services for the Completion & Remedial Services segment decreased by 58% to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $20.6 million in 2020 due to reduced activity levels and employee headcount. Segment profits as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 25% in the first quarter of 2021 from 20% in 2020 due to our cost saving initiatives and increased mix of higher margin work in the first quarter of 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8.1 million or 31% to $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $26.2 million in 2020. This decrease was due to lower employee headcount and the effect of higher revenues and improved pricing and utilization of our equipment.

Duringcost reduction initiatives that began in 2020. Stock-based compensation expense was $0.1 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2021 compared to $1.3 million in 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization
Consolidated depreciation and amortization decreased by $4.0 million, or 27%, to $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $14.8 million in 2020. This decrease was due to impairments of long-lived assets in 2020 and decreased capital spending in 2021. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2021 were $0.3 million compared to $5.6 million in 2020. We also acquired $0.5 million of finance leases in the first quarter of 2020 compared to zero in 2021.

These services are necessarythe derivative instrument resulted in a $4.8 million loss on this derivative instrument for our customers and usually have a stable demand, but produce lower relative segment profits than other partsthe first quarter of our water logistics segment. Water logistics for completion and workover projects require fresh or brine water for making drilling mud, circulating fluids or frac fluids used during a job, and all2021.
Interest Expense, net
The Company’s interest expense consisted of these fluids require storage tanks and hauling and disposal. Because we can provide a full complement of fluid sales, trucking, storage and disposal required on most drilling and workover projects, the add-on services associated with drilling and workover activity generally enable usfollowing:

Consolidated net interest expense increased to generate higher segment profits. The higher segment profits for these add-on services are due to the relatively small incremental labor costs associated with providing these services in addition to our base water logistics segment. Revenues from our water treatment and recycling services include the treatment, recycling and disposal of wastewater, including frac water and flowback, to reuse this water$12.0 million in the completion and production processes. Revenues from our well site construction services are derived primarily from preparing and maintaining

well locations, access roads to well locations, and installing small diameter gathering lines and pipelines, constructing foundations to support drilling rigs and providing maintenance services for oil and natural gas facilities. We price water logistics by the job, by the hour, or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.

Revenue per water logistics truck increased to $55,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 compared to $54,0002021 from $10.6 million in second quarter of 2017 on increased levels of disposal well utilization and construction services revenues. Segment profit percentage increased to 21% in the third quarter of 2017 from 18% in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to the incremental effect of higher revenues and rate increases.
Well Servicing
During the first nine months of 2017, our well servicing segment represented 25% of our revenues. Revenue in our well servicing segment is derived from maintenance, workover, completion, manufacturing, and plugging and abandonment services. We provide maintenance-related services as part of the normal, periodic upkeep of producing oil and natural gas wells. Maintenance-related services represent a relatively consistent component of our business. Workover and completion services generate more revenue per hour than maintenance work due to the use of auxiliary equipment, but demand for workover and completion services fluctuates more with the overall activity level in the industry. We also have a rig manufacturing and servicing facility that builds new workover rigs, performs large-scale refurbishments of used workover rigs and provides maintenance services on previously manufactured rigs.
We charge our well servicing rig customers for services on an hourly basis at rates that are determined by the type of service and equipment required, market conditions in the region in which the rig operates, the ancillary equipment provided on the rig and the necessary personnel. Depending on the type of job, we may also charge by the project or by the day. We measure the activity levels of our well servicing rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a 55-hour work week per rig. Our fleet remained constant in 2016 and 2017 at a weighted average number of 421 rigs.

The following is an analysis of our well servicing operations for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Rig utilization was 55% in the third quarter of 2017, up from 54% in the second quarter of 2017.  The higher utilization rate in the third quarter of 2017 resulted from an increase in well servicing hours caused by increases in customer demand and activity in selected basins offset by significant weather, including Hurricane Harvey. Our segment profit percentage remained constant at 21% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017, on consistent levels of utilization and pricing.
Contract Drilling
During the first nine months of 2017, our contract drilling segment represented approximately 1% of our revenues. Revenues from our contract drilling segment are derived primarily from the drilling of new wells.
Within this segment, we charge our drilling rig customers a “daywork” daily rate, or “footage” at an established rate per number of feet drilled. We measure the activity level of our drilling rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a seven-day work week per rig. Our contract drilling rig fleet had a weighted average of 11 rigs during the third quarter of 2017.  
The following is an analysis of our contract drilling segment for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Operating Cost Overview
Our operating costs are comprised primarily of labor, including workers’ compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance. The majority of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our fleet. These costs, however, are not directly tied to our level of business activity. Repair and maintenance is performed by our crews, company maintenance personnel and outside service providers. Compensation for our administrative personnel in local operating yards and in our corporate office is accounted for as general and administrative expenses. Insurance is generally a fixed cost regardless of utilization and relates to the number of rigs, trucks and other equipment in our fleet, employee payroll and safety record.

However, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental financial measure used by management and directors and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, to assess:
•    The financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
•    The ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness; and
•    Its operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the oilfield services industry.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss, operating income or loss, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and operating income or loss, and these measures may vary among other companies.
