CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “preliminary,” “forecast,” and similar expressions or variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our final prospectus dated April 20, 2017 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act,most recent Annual Report on April 24, 2017 (the “Final Prospectus”)Form 10-K and under the heading “Item“Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:

·

the severity and duration of world health events, including the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, related economic repercussions and the resulting severe disruption in the oil and gas industry and negative impact on demand for oil and gas, which is negatively impacting our business;

the current significant surplus in the supply of oil and actions by the members of OPEC+ (as defined below) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with supply limitations;
operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges, protecting the health and well-being of our employees, remote work arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruptions;

Significant accounting policies: OurThe Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2016 and 20152019, included in the Final Prospectus.

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the recoverability of long‑livedlong-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory, income taxes, self‑insuranceself-insurance liabilities, share‑basedshare-based compensation, contingent liabilities and contingent liabilities.the incremental borrowing rate for leases. The Company bases its estimates on historical and other pertinent information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.

Emerging GrowthAllowance for credit losses: The Company’s allowance for credit losses relate to trade accounts receivable. The Company status:  Undertreats trade accounts receivable as one portfolio and records an initial allowance calculated as a percentage of revenue recognized based on a combination of historical information and future expectations.

The new impairment model applies to require the classification of all deferred taxmost financial assets, and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As an EGC utilizing the extended transition period for new accounting pronouncements, this pronouncement isincluding trade accounts receivable. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,interim and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company prospectively adopted this guidance during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. As the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are all noncurrent, the adoption did not result in a change to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright‑line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. As an EGC utilizing the extended transition period for new accounting pronouncements, this pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. After reviewing the new standard and reexamining current and prior year bad debt expense from trade receivables, as well as updating future expectations, the adoption of the new standard in the first quarter of 2020 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, that provides a new requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share‑based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. As an EGC utilizing the extended transition period for new accounting pronouncements, this pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses the classification and presentation of eight specific cash flow issues that currently result in diverse practices. The amendments provide guidance in the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero‑coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate‑owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. As an EGC utilizing the extended transition period for new accounting pronouncements, this pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective approach. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This pronouncement removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

NOTE 3— ACQUISITIONSIMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER COSTS

Business combinations

On September 15, 2017,Significant challenges that emerged during the Company completed its acquisition (the “Resource Water Acquisition”)Current Quarter, and which are expected to continue into the foreseeable future, have had and will continue to have a negative impact on our results of Resource Water Transfer Services, L.P. and certain other affiliated assets (collectively, “Resource Water”). Resource Water provides water transfer services to exploration and production (“E&P”) operatorsoperations. The COVID-19 outbreak, characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has caused significant disruptions in West Texas and East Texas. Resource Water’s assets include 24 miles of layflat hoseglobal oil demand as well as numerous pumpsinternational and ancillary equipment requiredU.S. economies and financial markets. Additionally, the failure of Saudi Arabia and Russia to support water transfer operations. Resource Water has longstanding customer relationships across its operating regionsreach a decision to cut production of oil and gas along with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), and Saudi Arabia’s subsequent decision to reduce the prices at which are viewed as strategicit sells oil and increase production, combined with the continued outbreak of COVID-19, contributed to a sharp drop in prices for oil in the Company’s water solutions business. Current Quarter. While an agreement to cut production was reached in April 2020, oil prices have remained low, with storage capacity rapidly being reached, and global oil demand is expected to remain challenged at least until the COVID-19 outbreak can be contained. As a result of these market disruptions, oil prices have declined significantly and our Current Quarter results have been negatively impacted. With the significant recent drop in oil prices, the activity levels of our customers and the demand for our services will certainly decrease materially in the near-term; however, at this time, we believe it is too soon to determine the depth or magnitude of the declines.

We believe the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results, and such negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of such outbreak until oil demand and prices, recover. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our future financial results will be correct given the unpredictable nature of the current market environment after the rapid decline in the demand for oil and demand for our services. As a consequence, our ability to accurately forecast our activity and profitability is uncertain.

The total consideration for the Resource Water Acquisition was $9.1 million, with $6.7 million paid in cashmagnitude and $2.4 million paid in shares of Select Class A Common Stock valued at $15.17 per share, subject to customary post‑closing adjustments. The Company funded the cash portionduration of the considerationCOVID-19 pandemic is also uncertain. As a consequence, we cannot estimate the impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty, but at this time, we expect a net loss for the Resource Water Acquisition with $6.7 million of cash on hand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company expensed less than $0.1 million of related transaction-related costs. The Resource Water Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is based on management’s estimates, judgments2020. We are taking further actions to maintain our liquidity, including decreasing operating expenses by reducing headcount, reducing salaries, closing yard locations, reducing third party expenses and assumptions. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to change upon final valuation and should be treated as preliminary values. Working capital estimates are based on provisional amounts. Management estimated that total consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $1.8 million, which excess was recognized as goodwill. The goodwill recognized was attributable to Resource Water’s assembled workforcestreamlining operations, as well as synergiesreducing capital expenditures. We are also deferring employer payroll tax payments for the remainder of 2020, in accordance with the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and may take advantage of future legislation passed by the United States Congress in response to COVID-19.

As a result of the above mentioned economic conditions, we recorded impairment expenses in the first quarter related to goodwill, property and equipment and other intangible assets and there is no assurance that we will not have additional impairments in subsequent quarters.

A summary of impairment, severance, yard closure and lease abandonment costs for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter were as follows:

Well Chemical Services Acquisition

On March 10, 2017,September 30, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition (the “GRR Acquisition”acquired a well chemical services business (“WCS”), formerly a division of Gregory Rockhouse Ranch, Inc. and certain other affiliated entities and assets (collectively, the “GRR Entities”). The GRR Entities provide water and water‑related services to E&P companies in the Permian Basin and own and have rights to a vast array of fresh, brackish and effluent water sourcesBaker Hughes Company, for $10.0 million, funded with access to significant volumes of water annually and water transport infrastructure, including over 900 miles of temporary and permanent pipeline infrastructure and related storage facilities and pumps, all located in the northern Delaware Basin portion of the Permian Basin.

The total consideration for the GRR Acquisition was $56.8 million, with $51.3 million paid in cash and $5.5 million paid in shares of Select Class A Common Stock valued at $20.00 per share, subject to customary post‑closing adjustments. The Company funded the cash portion of the consideration for the GRR Acquisition with $17.3 million of cash on hand (the “WCS Acquisition”). WCS provides advanced water treatment solutions, specialized stimulation flow assurance and $34.0 million of borrowings underintegrity additives and post-treatment monitoring service in the U.S. This acquisition expands the Company’s Credit Facility. Forservice offerings in oilfield water treatment across the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company expensed $1.0 millionfull life-cycle of transaction-related costs. water, from pre-fracturing treatment through reuse and recycling.

The GRRWCS Acquisition is beingwas accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made significant estimates, judgments and assumptions. Management estimated that consideration paid exceeded the fair valueThese estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the net assets acquired. Therefore, goodwillinventory and property and equipment acquired, customer relationships, and current liabilities were finalized as of $11.0 million was recorded. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to synergies related to the Company’s comprehensive water solutions strategy that are expected to arise from the GRR Acquisition and is attributable to the Company’s Water Solutions segment.December 31, 2019. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s Water SolutionsOilfield Chemicals segment.

NOTE 5—REVENUE

The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), for most revenue and net incomerecognition, which provides a five-step model for determining revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively,the standard: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the resultsperformance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer. The accommodations and rentals revenue is guided by ASC 842 – Leases.

The following factors are applicable to all 3 of the Company fromCompany’s segments for the datefirst three months of acquisition through September 30, 2017. The GRR Acquisition contributed revenue2020 and net income of $21.5 million2019, respectively:

The vast majority of customer agreements are short-term, lasting less than one year.
Contracts are seldom combined together as virtually all of our customer agreements constitute separate performance obligations. Each job is typically distinct, thereby not interdependent or interrelated with other customer agreements.
Most contracts allow either party to terminate at any time without substantive penalties. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is unconditionally entitled to the payments for the products delivered to date.
Contract terminations before the end of the agreement are rare.
Sales returns are rare and no sales return assets have been recognized on the balance sheet.
There are minimal volume discounts.
There are no service-type warranties.
There is no long-term customer financing.

In the Water Services and $1.9 million, respectively,Water Infrastructure segments, performance obligations arise in connection with services provided to the consolidated results ofcustomers in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount the Company from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2017. The following unaudited consolidated

1 The allocation of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and Select Energy Services gives effect to the equity structure as of September 30, 2017 as though the 144A Offering, the IPO, the Resource Water Acquisition, the GRR Acquisition and other equity transactions occurred as of January 1, 2016. However, the calculation of pro forma net loss does not give effect to any other pro forma adjustmentsconsumed by customers at their job sites. As a multi-job site organization, contract terms, including pricing for the 144A OfferingCompany’s services, are negotiated on a job site level on a per-job basis. Most jobs are completed in a short period of time, usually between one day and one month. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are completed on a daily, hourly or the subsequent IPO.

The unaudited pro forma amounts above have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the GRR Acquisition and Resource Water Acquisition resultsper unit basis with unconditional rights to reflect the increase to depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2016 and other related pro forma adjustments. The pro forma amounts do not include any potential synergies, cost savings or other expected benefitsconsideration for services rendered reflected as accounts receivable trade, net of the GRR Acquisition or Resource Water Acquisition, and are presentedallowance for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved if the GRR Acquisition and Resource Water Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2016 or of future operating performance.

Asset acquisitions

On June 21, 2017credit losses. In cases where a prepayment is received before the Company completed the acquisition of fixed assets from Tex-Star Water Services, LLC (the “TEX Acquisition”) for $4.2 million in cash, funded entirely with cash on hand.

On May 30, 2017 the Company completed the acquisition of automated manifold intellectual property and related assets from Data Automated Water Systems, LLC (the “DAWS Acquisition”) for $4.0 million.  This acquisition was paid with $2.0 million of cash and 128,370 shares of Select Class A Common Stock valued at approximately $2.0 million. The DAWS Acquisition resulted in fixed assets of $1.8 million, patents of $1.9 million and software of $0.3 million.

NOTE 4—EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

Due tosatisfies its performance obligations, a reduction in industry activity from 2014, the Company made the decision during the year ended December 31, 2016 to close 15 facilities and consolidate operations for the purpose of improving operating efficiencies. The Companycontract liability is recorded $2.9 million of charges related to exit and disposal activities and reclassified $0.2 million of deferred rent related to accrued lease obligations related to exited facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company had a remaining balance of $20.0 million, inclusive of a short‑term balance of $1.9 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities,liabilities. Final billings generally occur once all of the proper approvals are obtained. No revenue is associated with mobilization or demobilization of personnel and equipment. Rather, mobilization and demobilization are factored into pricing for services. Billings and costs related to mobilization and demobilization is not material for customer agreements that start in one period and end in another. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had five contracts in place for these segments lasting over a year.

In the Oilfield Chemicals segment, the typical performance obligation is to provide a specific quantity of chemicals to customers in accordance with the customer agreement in an amount the Company expects to collect.

17

Products and services are generally sold based upon customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenue is recognized as the customer takes title to chemical products in accordance with the agreement. Products may be provided to customers in packaging or delivered to the customers’ containers through a hose. In some cases, the customer takes title to the chemicals upon consumption from storage containers on their property, where the chemicals are considered inventory until customer usage. In cases where the Company delivers products and recognizes revenue before collecting payment, the Company usually has an unconditional right to payment reflected in accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for credit losses. Customer returns are rare and immaterial and there were no in-process customer agreements for this segment as of September 30, 2017 relatedMarch 31, 2020, lasting greater than one year.

The Company accounts for accommodations and rentals agreements as an operating lease. The Company recognizes revenue from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. Accommodations and rental contract periods are generally daily, weekly or monthly. The average lease term is less than three months and as of March 31, 2020, no rental agreements lasted more than a year. 

The following table sets forth certain financial information with respect to accrued lease obligationsthe Company’s disaggregation of revenues by geographic location:

NOTE 6—8—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis, as of December 31, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The annual impairment tests are based on Level 3 inputs.inputs (see Note 12). During the Current Quarter, the Company had triggering events in connection with the resulting significant adverse change to the demand for the Company’s services in connection with a significant decline in the price of oil and the related global economic impacts resulting from the OPEC+ disputes with increasing oil supply as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. This included uncertainty regarding oil prices and the length of the recovery following the significant market disruption in the oil and gas industry. As a result, the Company performed quantitative tests for reporting units in both the Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments using the income and market approaches, resulting in a full impairment to goodwill in both segments.

Intangibles obtained through acquisitionsDue to the triggering events discussed above, the Company tested all intangible assets for impairment, which resulted in $9.1 million of impairment to trademarks using the relief from royalty method. The impairment was recorded in the Oilfield Chemicals segment.

Amended and Restated 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Rockwater Equity Plan”)), in each case subject to the listing rules of the stock exchange on which Selectthe Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed. The effectiveness of the Equity Plan Amendment was subject to approval by the Company's stockholders and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined in Note 17 below).for the Rockwater merger. The Company’s consenting stockholders, who holdheld a majority of the outstanding common stock of Select Energy Services,the Company, approved the Equity Plan Amendment on July 18, 2017.

Stock options are granted with terms not to exceed ten years. After giving effect to the Equity Plan Amendment, the maximum number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan is equal to (i) 5,400,400 shares plus (ii) 1,011,087 shares that became available on account of the assumptionimpact of the Rockwater Equity Plan, subject to adjustment inmerger, is approximately 9.3 million shares.

Stock option awards

Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Select Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant. The Company historically valued Select Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis using a market approach that includes a comparison to publicly traded peer companies using earnings multiples based on their market values and a discount for lack of marketability. The fair value measurement relies on Level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value of its stock options is expensed over their vesting period, which is generally three years from the applicable date of grant. However, certainCertain awards that were granted during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in exchange for cancelled awards were immediately vested and fully exercisable on the date of grant because they were either granted in exchange for the cancellation of outstanding options granted under the 2011 Plan or the Rockwater Equity Plan, as applicable, that were fully vested and exercisable prior to such cancellation.

The Company utilizesutilized the Black‑ScholesMonte Carlo option pricing model to determine fair value of the options granted during 2018, which incorporates assumptions to value equity‑basedequity-based awards. The risk‑freerisk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant. At the time of grant, there was no public market for the Company’s equity. Therefore, the Company considered the historic volatility of publicly traded peer companies when determining the volatility factor. The expected life of the options was based on a formula considering the vesting period and term of the options awarded, which is generally seven to ten years. NaN stock options were granted in 2019 or in the Current Quarter.

Phantom unit awards

The Company’s phantom unit awards were cash settled awards that were contingent upon meeting certain equity returns and a liquidation event. The settlement amount was based on the fair market value of a share of Select Class A Common Stock on the date of completionissued to a recipient upon vesting of the IPO, which constituted a liquidation event with respect to such phantom unit awards. As a result of the cash‑settlement feature of these awards, the Company considered these awards toPSU will be liability awards, which are measured at fair value at each reporting date and the pro rata vested portion of the award is recognized as a liabilitycalculated based on performance against certain metrics that relate to the extent thatCompany’s return on asset performance over the January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 performance condition is deemed probable. On May 5, 2017, the Company settled its outstanding phantom unit awards for an aggregate amount equal to $7.8 million as a resultperiods, respectively.

The target number of the completionshares of its IPO, which constituted a liquidity event with respect to such phantom unit awards. Based on the fair market value of a share of Select Class A Common Stock subject to each PSU granted in 2018 and 2019 is 1; however, based on the achievement of performance criteria, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be received in settlement of each PSU can range from 0 to 1.75 times the target number.

During 2020, the Company approved grants of PSUs that are subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting provisions related to (i) return on asset performance (“ROA”) in comparison to thirteen peer companies and (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) performance percentage. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to a recipient upon vesting of the PSUs will be calculated based on ROA and FCF performance over the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The target number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to each PSU granted in 2020 is one; however, based on the achievement of performance criteria, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be received in settlement of each PSU can range from 0 to 1.75 times the target number. The PSUs become earned at the end of the performance period after the attainment of the performance level has been certified by the compensation committee, which will be no later than June 30, 2023 for the 2020 PSU grants, assuming the minimum performance metrics are achieved.

The target PSUs that become earned connected with the ROA in comparison to other companies will be determined based on the Company’s Average Return on Assets (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) relative to the Average Return on Assets of the peer companies (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) in accordance with the following table:

The Company recognized a credit to compensation expense of $7.8$1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017and compensation expense of $0.9 million related to the PSUs for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, the unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested PSUs is estimated to be $3.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years as of March 31, 2020. However, this compensation cost will be adjusted as appropriate throughout the applicable performance periods.

Stock-Settled Incentive Awards

Effective May 17, 2018, the Company approved grants of stock-settled incentive awards to certain key employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan that are subject to both market-based and service-based vesting provisions. These awards will vest after a two-year service period and, if earned, settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. The ultimate amount earned is based on the achievement of the market metrics, which is based on the stock price of the Class A Common Stock at the vesting date, for which payout could range from 0% to 200%. Any award not earned on the vesting date is forfeited. The target amount that becomes earned during the performance period will be determined in accordance with the following table:

NOTE 10—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company had variable rate debt outstandingClass A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the earned amount, which was subjectcould range from 0% to interest rate risk based on volatility in underlying interest rates. In April 2013, the Company entered into a pay fixed, receive variable interest rate swap, with an aggregate notional amount of $125.0 million, which the Company designated as a cash flow hedge. The derivative contract matured in April 2016. The change in value and amounts reclassified to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were nominal. There was no activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Changes in the fair values200% of the Company’s derivative instruments are presentedtarget amount depending on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes instock price at vesting date.

Compensation expense associated with the stock-settled incentive awards is recognized ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The fair value of the Company’sstock-settled incentive awards was determined using a Monte Carlo option pricing model, similar to the Black-Scholes-Merton model, and adjusted for the specific characteristics of the awards. The key assumptions in the model included price, the expected volatility of our stock, risk-free interest rate swap derivative instrumentsbased on U.S. Treasury yield curve, cross-correlations between us and our self-determined peer companies’ asset, equity and debt-to-equity volatility.

The Company recognized a nominal credit during the Current Quarter and $0.1 million of expense in the Prior Quarter, respectively, related to stock-settled incentive awards. The unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested stock-settled incentive awards is $0.1 million and is expected to be fully recognized in the second quarter of 2020.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) under which employees that have been continuously employed for at least one year may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a discount. The plan provides for four offering periods for purchases: December 1 through February 28, March 1 through May 31, June 1 through August 31 and September 1 through November 30. At the end of each offering period, enrolled employees purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to 95% of the market value of the stock on the last day of such offering period. The purchases are made at the end of an offering period with funds accumulated through payroll deductions over the course of the offering period. Subject to limitations set forth in the plan and under IRS regulations, eligible employees may elect to contribute a maximum of $15,000 to the plan in a single calendar year. The plan is deemed to be noncompensatory.

NOTE 11—12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to measure assets and liabilities in a business combination or assess impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and includes certain disclosure requirements. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk.

22


ASC 820 establishes a three‑levelthree-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in non‑activenon-active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no0 transfers into, or out of, the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

NOTE 13—14—INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation. SES Holdings and its subsidiaries, with the exception of certain corporate subsidiaries, are treated as flow‑through entities for U.S. federalCompany’s income tax purposes, and as such, are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the tax liability with respect to their taxable incomeinformation is passed through to their members or partners. Accordingly, prior to our reorganization in connection with the 144A Offering, the Predecessor only recorded a provision for Texas franchise tax and U.S. federal and state provisions for certain corporate subsidiaries as the Predecessor’s taxable income or loss was includablepresented in the income tax returns of the individual partners and members.  However, for periods following our reorganization in connection with the 144A Offering, Select Energy Services recognizes a tax liability on its allocable share of SES Holdings’ taxable income.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were (12.8)% and 0.1%, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were (1.6)% and 0.1%, respectively.table below. The effective tax rates forrate is different than the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 differ from the statutory21% standard Federal rate of 35% due to net income allocated to noncontrolling interests, state income taxes other permanent differences between book and tax accounting, and valuation allowances.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted. The CARES Act includes, among other things, certain income tax provisions for businesses. The Company recordedrecognized an income tax expense (benefit)benefit of $(0.3) million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense (benefit) of $(0.3) million and $0.4 million forduring the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The tax benefits of deferred tax assets are recordedMarch 31, 2020, as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such assets to be more likely than not. When the future utilization of some portion of deferred tax assets is determined not to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. As of September 30, 2017, management’s assessment as to the realizability of certain deferred tax assets has resulted in the recording of a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are considered more likely than not to be realized. Management believes there will be sufficient future taxable income based on the reversal of temporary differences to enable utilization or sustainability of those deferred tax assets that do not have a valuation allowance recorded against them.

Separate federal and state income tax returns are filed for Select Energy Services, SES Holdings, and certain consolidated affiliates. The tax years 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject to income tax. Select Energy Services and SES Holdings are not currently under any income tax audits.

NOTE 17—18—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

CompletionThe Company is closely monitoring the impact of the Merger

On November 1, 2017,COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and geographies, including how it may impact our customers, employees, vendors and contractors. While the Company completeddid not incur significant disruptions during the transactions contemplated bythree months ended March 31, 2020 from COVID-19, we are unable to predict the Agreementimpact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial position, operating results and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), byability to obtain future financing due to numerous uncertainties.

The magnitude and among the Company, SES Holdings, Raptor Merger Sub, Inc. (“Corporate Merger Sub”), Raptor Merger Sub, LLC (“LLC Merger Sub”), Rockwater Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Rockwater”) and Rockwater Energy Solutions, LLC (“RES Holdings”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Corporate Merger Sub merged with and into Rockwater, with Rockwater continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiaryduration of the Company (the “Corporate Merger”),COVID-19 pandemic is also uncertain. As a consequence, we cannot estimate the impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty, but at this time, we expect a net loss for 2020. We are taking further actions to maintain our liquidity, including decreasing operating expenses by reducing headcount, reducing salaries, closing yard locations, reducing third party expenses and LLC Merger Sub merged with and into RES Holdings, with RES Holdings continuingstreamlining operations, as well as reducing capital expenditures. We are also deferring employer payroll tax payments for the surviving entity as an indirect wholly owned subsidiaryremainder of SES Holdings (the “LLC Merger”).

29


At the effective time of the Corporate Merger (the “Corporate Merger Effective Time”), subject to certain exceptions, (x) each share of Rockwater’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Rockwater Class A Common Stock”), then outstanding was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock equal to 0.7652 per each such share (the “Exchange Ratio”), (y) each share of Rockwater’s Class A-1 common stock, $0.01 par value per share, then outstanding was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s Class A-2 common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Select Class A-2 Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (z) each share of Rockwater’s Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share, then outstanding was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Select Class B Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. At the effective time of the LLC Merger (the “LLC Merger Effective Time”), subject to certain exceptions, each unit of RES Holdings (each, an “RES Holdings Unit”) then outstanding (including RES Holdings Units held by Rockwater) was converted into the right to receive a number of units in SES Holdings equal to the Exchange Ratio. The original exchange ratio of 0.7777 set forth in the Merger Agreement was adjusted downwards to 0.76522020, in accordance with the termsprovisions of the Merger Agreement.

SharesCARES Act, and may take advantage of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time remain outstanding and have not been exchanged, converted or otherwise changed in the Corporate Merger. Based on the number of shares of Rockwater common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, a total of approximately 25.9 million shares of Select Class A Common Stock, 6.7 million shares of Select Class A-2 Common Stock and 4.4 million shares of Select Class B Common Stock (excluding the issuance of equity awards, which are described in the following paragraph), were issued to the former holders of Rockwater common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In the aggregate (including the issuance of equity awards), the Company issued approximately 37.3 million shares of common stock. Units in SES Holdings outstanding immediately prior to the LLC Merger Effective Time remain outstanding and have not been exchanged, converted or otherwise changed in the LLC Merger. Based on the number of RES Holdings Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LLC Merger Effective Time, a total of approximately 37.3 million units in SES Holdings were issued to the former holders of RES Holdings Units pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

At the Corporate Merger Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Rockwater Class A Common Stock (each, a “Rockwater Stock Option”) was converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Rockwater Stock Option immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, the number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Rockwater Class A Common Stock subject to such Rockwater Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Timefuture legislation passed by the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per shareUnited States Congress in response to COVID-19. In this environment, the duration of Select Class A Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of Rockwater Class A Common Stock under such Rockwater Stock Option divided by the Exchange Ratio (such conversions, collectively, the “Option Conversion”). Additionally, at the Corporate Merger Effective Time, each share of restricted Rockwater Class A Common Stock (each, a “Rockwater Restricted Stock Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time ceased to represent Rockwater Class A Common Stock and was converted into a new award of restricted shares, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Rockwater Restricted Stock Award prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time, equal to the number of shares of Select Class A Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Rockwater Class A Common Stock subject to such Rockwater Restricted Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Corporate Merger Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (such conversions, collectively, the “Restricted Stock Conversion”). Subject to certain New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) restrictions, the shares available under the Rockwater Equity Plan as of the Corporate Merger Effective Time (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) may be used for post-transaction grants under the 2016 Plan. The Option Conversion, Restricted Stock Conversion and assumption of shares available under the Rockwater Equity Plan described in the preceding sentences are collectively referred to as the “Equity Award Actions.” The Equity Plan Amendment, which was previously adopted to effectuate the Equity Award Actions, became effective on November 1, 2017 at the Corporate Merger Effective Time.

New Credit Agreement

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), SES Holdings and Select LLC (the “Borrower”) entered into a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Agreement”), by and among SES Holdings, as parent, the Borrower, certain of

30


SES Holdings’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender (the “Administrative Agent”).  The New Credit Agreement also has a sublimit of $40.0 million for letters of credit and a sublimit of $30.0 million for swingline loans.  Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders,remains uncertain, the Company has the option to increase the maximum amount under the senior secured credit facility by $150.0 million during the first three years following the Closing.

The New Credit Agreement permits extensionsplanned for a range of credit up to the lesserscenarios and has taken a number of $300.0 million and a borrowing base that is determined by calculating the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the Eligible Billed Receivables (as definedactions. To protect our workforce in the New Credit Agreement), plus (ii) 75%wake of Eligible Unbilled Receivables (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), providedCOVID-19, we have taken steps to keep our people safe by supporting those affected, mandating that this amount will not equal more than 35%as many employees and contractors as possible work from home, and monitoring and consistently communicating with those who cannot do so and are required to be at work.

Based on our current cash position, lack of the borrowing base, plus (iii) the lesser of (A) the product of 70% multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at such timebank debt and (B) the product of 85% multiplied by the Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) identified in the most recent Acceptable Appraisal of Inventory (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory at such time, providedthese ongoing actions, we believe that this amount will not equal more than 30% of the borrowing base, minus (iv) the aggregate amount of Reserves (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), if any, established by the Administrative Agent from time to time, including, if any, the amount of the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly basis pursuant to a borrowing base certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Borrower’s election, at either the (a) one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR (“Eurocurrency Rate”) or (b) the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus ½%, (ii) the one-month Eurocurrency Rate plus 1% and (iii) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate (the “Base Rate”), in each case plus an applicable margin, and interest shall be payable monthly in arrears. The applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% and the applicable margin for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.00%, in each case, depending on the Borrower’s average excess availability under the New Credit Agreement. The applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loanswe will be 1.75%able to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants for the applicable margin for Base Rate loans will be 0.75% until June 30, 2018. During the continuance of a bankruptcy event of default, automatically and during the continuance of any other default, upon the Administrative Agent’s or the required lenders’ election, all outstanding amounts under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at 2.00% plus the otherwise applicable interest rate. The New Credit Agreement is schedulednext twelve months, prior to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by SES Holdings and certain of the subsidiaries of SES Holdings and the Borrower and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the personal property assets of SES Holdings, the Borrower and their domestic subsidiaries.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

In addition, the New Credit Agreement restricts SES Holdings’s and the Borrower’s ability to make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, its equity interests, except for certain distributions, including distributions of cash so long as, both at the time of the distribution and after giving effect to the distribution, no default exists under the New Credit Agreement and either (a) excess availability at all times during the preceding 30 consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 25% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $37.5 million or (b) if SES Holdings’s fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis, and excess availability at all times during the preceding 30 consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 20% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $30.0 million. Additionally, the New Credit Agreement generally permits the Borrower to make distributions required under its existing tax receivable agreements.any financing that may occur.

The New Credit Agreement also requires SES Holdings to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to [1.0] at any time availability under the New Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) $15.0 million and continuing through

3138


and including the first day after such time that availability under the New Credit Agreement has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) $15.0 million for 60 consecutive calendar days.

Certain lenders party to the New Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation. In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, such parties and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve the Company’s securities and/or instruments.

Termination of Credit Facility

In connection with the entry into the New Credit Agreement, the obligations of SES Holdings and the Borrower under the Credit Facility were repaid in full and the Credit Facility was terminated.

Certain lenders party to the Credit Facility and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation. In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, such parties and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve the Company’s securities and/or instruments.

This discussion relates to the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Current Quarter”) and the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “Prior Quarter”).

Overview

We are a leading provider of total watercomprehensive water-management solutions to the U.S. unconventional oil and gas industry. Within the major shale playsindustry in the United States we source(“U.S.”). We also develop, manufacture and transfer water (both by permanent pipeline and temporary pipe) prior to itsdeliver a full suite of chemical products for use in drilling and completion activities associated with hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” which we collectively refer to as “pre-frac water services.” In most of our areas of operations, we provide complementary water-related services that support oil and gas well completion and production activities including containment, monitoring, treatment, flowback, haulingoperations. Through a combination of organic growth and disposal. Ouracquisitions over the last decade, we have developed a leading position in the relatively new water solutions industry. We believe we are the only company in the oilfield services industry that combines comprehensive water-management services with related chemical products. Furthermore, we are necessaryone of the few large oilfield services companies whose primary focus is on the management of water and water logistics in the oil and gas development industry. Accordingly, as an industry leader in the water solutions industry, we place the utmost importance on safe, environmentally responsible management of oilfield water throughout the lifecycle of a well. Additionally, we believe that responsibly managing water resources through our operations to establishhelp conserve and maintainprotect the environment in the communities in which we operate is paramount to our continued success.

In many regions of the country, there has been growing concern about the volumes of water required for new oil and gas well completions. Working with our customers and local communities, we strive to be an industry leader in the development of cost-effective alternatives to fresh water. Specifically, we offer services that enable our E&P customers to treat and reuse produced water, thereby reducing the demand for fresh water while also reducing the volumes of saltwater that must be disposed by injection. In many areas, we have also acquired sources of non-potable water such as brackish water or municipal or industrial effluent. We work with our customers to optimize their fluid systems to economically enable the use of these alternative sources. We also work with our E&P customers to reduce the environmental footprint of their operations through the use of temporary hose and permanent pipeline systems. These solutions reduce the demand for trucking operations, thereby reducing diesel emissions, increasing safety and decreasing traffic congestion in nearby communities.

Industry Overview

Significant challenges that emerged during the Current Quarter, and which are expected to continue into the foreseeable future, have had and will continue to have a negative impact on our results of operations. The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak, characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has caused significant disruptions in global oil demand as well as international and U.S. economies and financial markets. Additionally, the failure of Saudi Arabia and Russia to reach a decision to cut production of oil and gas overalong with the productive lifeOrganization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), and Saudi Arabia’s subsequent decision to reduce the prices at which it sells oil and increase production, combined with the continued outbreak of COVID-19, contributed to a horizontal well. Water and related services are increasingly important as E&P companies have increased the complexity and completion intensity of horizontal wells (including the use of longer horizontal wellbore laterals, tighter spacing of frac stagessharp drop in prices for oil in the lateralsCurrent Quarter. While an agreement to cut production was reached in April 2020, oil prices have remained low, and increased waterglobal oil demand is expected to remain challenged at least until the COVID-19 outbreak can be contained. As a result of these market disruptions, oil prices have declined significantly and proppant use per footour Current Quarter results have been negatively impacted. With the significant recent drop in oil prices, the activity

levels of our revenues through providing total water solutions to our customers. We providecustomers and the demand for our services will certainly decrease materially in the near-term; however, at this time, we believe it is too soon to major integrateddetermine the depth or magnitude of the declines.

We believe the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations have had, and large E&P companies, who typically representwill continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results, and such negative impact may continue well beyond the largest producerscontainment of such outbreak until oil demand and prices, recover. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our future financial results will be correct given the unpredictable nature of the current market environment after the rapid decline in eachthe demand for oil and demand for our services. As a consequence, our ability to accurately forecast our activity and profitability is uncertain.

The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is also uncertain. As a consequence, we cannot estimate the impact on our areas ofbusiness, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty, but at this time, we expect a net loss for 2020. We are taking further actions to maintain our liquidity, including decreasing operating expenses by reducing headcount, reducing salaries, closing yard locations, reducing third party expenses and streamlining operations, as well as reducing capital expenditures. We are also deferring employer payroll tax payments for the remainder of 2020, in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, and may take advantage of future legislation passed by the United States Congress in response to COVID-19. In this environment, the duration of which remains uncertain, the Company has planned for a range of scenarios and has taken a number of actions. To protect our workforce in the wake of COVID-19, we have taken steps to keep our people safe by supporting those affected, mandating that as many employees and contractors as possible work from home, and monitoring and consistently communicating with those who cannot do so and are required to be at work.

Based on our current cash position, lack of bank debt and these ongoing actions, we believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants for the next twelve months, prior to giving effect to any financing that may occur.

During the Current Quarter, the average spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) (Cushing) crude oil was $45.34 versus an average price of $54.82 for the Prior Quarter. The WTI price closed at $20.51 on March 31, 2020, which was nearly 55% lower than the average price for the Current Quarter, illustrating the significant decline and volatility of the price of oil and gas prices in the Current Quarter. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot price during the Current Quarter was $1.91 versus an average of $2.92 for the Prior Quarter. The significant decline in oil and gas prices in the Current Quarter relative to the Prior Quarter, as well as the more recent oil pricing volatility driven by market dislocation, has been driven largely by increased supply from OPEC+ and decreased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as increased utilization of existing storage capacity, which may result in our E&P customers being forced to shut-in production.

Additionally, both debt and equity capital markets, and in particular the IPO market, do not appear favorably disposed towards investing in the oil and gas industry at this time. In light of these factors, combined with the downward revisions made to many of our customers’ respective annual capital budgets and financial outlooks, we do not anticipate large incremental sums of capital entering the market to create higher demand for our services for the remainder of 2020, which will likely lead to decreased activity for us. Additionally, this lack of available capital in the current market environment will make it challenging for distressed oil and gas companies to resolve their debt covenant and liquidity challenges in the near-term, potentially resulting in a number of restructuring activities, including bankruptcies, in the industry.

Outside of the macroeconomic challenges, from an operational standpoint, many of the recent trends still apply to ongoing unconventional oil and gas development. For example, while we believe leading-edge lateral lengths and proppant use are plateauing, the average operator continues to catch up to this leading edge and many smaller operators with less robust completion designs may be challenged in this environment. The continued trend towards multi-well pad development, executed within a limited time frame, has increased the overall complexity of well completions, while increasing frac efficiency and the use of lower cost in-basin sand, all of which has decreased total costs for our customers.

40

This multi-well pad development, combined with recent upstream acreage consolidation and the emerging trends around the reuse applications of produced water, particularly in the Permian Basin, provides significant opportunity for companies like us that can deliver increasingly complex solutions for our E&P customers across the full completion and production life of wells over the long-term. However, we note the continued efficiency gains in the well completions process can limit the days we spend on the wellsite and therefore negatively impact the total revenue opportunity.

The trend of increased use of produced water may require additional chemical treatment solutions, which we are well positioned to provide given our water treatment capabilities, our recent WCS acquisition and our knowledge base within our Oilfield Chemicals segment. Additionally, this trend supports more complex “on the fly” solutions that treat, proportion, and blend various streams of water and chemicals at the wellsite. This complexity favors service companies able to provide advanced technology solutions that are able to economically compete with alternative historical solutions.

Regardless of these operational trends, the current environment is one of the most challenging in decades for the oilfield services industry due to the large imbalance between oil supply and demand. Many operators may prioritize decreasing their activity levels or pursuing near-term cost savings rather than long-term efficiencies, which could negatively impact the demand and pricing for our services. While we enjoy an advantaged position relative to many other independentoilfield services companies operating in these regions.due to our cash position and absence of debt on the balance sheet at the end of the Current Quarter, our full year 2020 financial results are likely to be materially worse than those of recent years.

generally at our customers’ sites. While we have some long-term pricing arrangements, particularly in our Water Infrastructure segment, most of our water and water-related services are priced based on prevailing market conditions, giving due consideration to the specific requirements of the customer.

We also generate revenue by providing completion, specialty chemicals and production chemicals through our Accommodations and Rentals and Wellsite Completion and Construction Services segments which provide workforce accommodations, related rentals and a variety of wellsite completion and construction services, including wellsite construction, pipeline construction, field services and well services.Oilfield Chemicals segment. We invoice the majority of our clientsOilfield Chemicals customers for these services provided based on a per job basisthe quantity of chemicals used or pursuant to short-term contracts as the customer’scustomers’ needs arise.

Costs of Conducting Our Business

The principal expenses involved in conducting our business are labor costs, equipment costs (including depreciation, repair, rental and maintenance and leasing costs), fuelraw materials and water sourcing costs and water sourcingfuel costs. Our fixed costs are relatively low and a large portionlow. Most of the costs we incur inof serving our businesscustomers are variable, i.e., they are only incurred when we provide water and water-related services, or chemicals and chemical-related services to our customers.

Labor costs associated with our employees and contract labor represent the most significant costs of our business. We incurred labor and labor-related costs of $54.8$101.6 million and $34.4$138.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter and 2016,Prior Quarter, respectively. We incurred labor costs of $155.5 million and $104.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our labor costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $12.5 million of non-recurring costs related to a payout on our phantom equity units and IPO success bonuses. The majority of our recurring labor costs are variable and are incurred only while we are providing water and water-relatedour operational services. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our assets, which areis not directly tied to our level of business activity. We alsoAdditionally, we incur selling, general and administrative costs for compensation of our administrative personnel at our field sites and in our operational and corporate headquarters. In light of the challenging activity and pricing trends, management has taken direct action during the Current Quarter to reduce operating and equipment costs, as well as selling, general and administrative costs, in order to proactively manage these expenses as a percentage of revenue. We expect to continue pursuing meaningful direct actions to reduce our labor costs in the coming quarters.

We incur significant equipment costs in connection with the operation of our business, including depreciation, repair and maintenance, rental and leasing costs. We incurred equipment costs of $36.0$47.3 million and $26.2$66.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter and 2016,Prior Quarter, respectively.

We incur significant transportation costs associated with our service lines, including fuel and freight. We incurred equipmentfuel and freight costs of $98.4$18.1 million and $84.5$22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter and 2016, respectively. Our depreciation costs are expected to decline over the next few years as a result of recent impairments as well as the decline in our capital expenditures over the last three years, which will be partially offset by any future capital expenditures on depreciable assets.

Fuel costs associated with water transportation are a significant operating cost. We incurred fuel costs of $8.2 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We incurred fuel costs of $21.4 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,Prior Quarter, respectively. Fuel prices impact our transportation costs, which affect the pricing and demand offor our services and have an impact on our results of operations.

We incur water sourcingraw material costs in connection with obtaining strategic and reliablemanufacturing our chemical products, as well as for water sources to provide repeatable water volumes tothat we source for our customers. We incurred water sourcingraw material costs of $9.7$70.1 million and $5.8$70.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter and 2016,Prior Quarter, respectively. We incurred water sourcing costs of $23.8 million and $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.

Public Company Expenses

General and administrative expenses related to being a publicly traded company include: Exchange Act reporting expenses; expenses associated with compliance with the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002; expenses associated with maintaining our listing on the NYSE; incremental independent auditor fees; incremental legal fees; investor relations expenses; registrar and transfer agent fees; incremental director and officer liability insurance costs; and director compensation. We expect that general and administrative expenses related to being a publicly traded company will increase in future periods. Costs incurred by us for corporate and other overhead expenses will be reimbursed by SES Holdings pursuant to the SES Holdings LLC Agreement.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a variety of operational and financial metrics to assess our performance. Among other measures, management considers each of the following:

·

Revenue;

·

Gross Profit;

·

Gross Margins;

EBITDA; and

·

Adjusted EBITDA.

42

Revenue

We analyze our revenue and assess our performance by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections.projections and across periods. We also assess incremental changes in revenue compared to incremental changes in direct operating costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses across our operatingreportable segments to identify potential areas for improvement, as well as to determine whether segments are meeting management’s expectations.

Gross Profit

To measure our financial performance, we analyze our gross profit, which we define as revenues less direct operating expenses (including depreciation expense)and amortization expenses). We believe gross profit is a meaningful metric because it provides insight oninto profitability and true operating performance based on the historical cost basis of our assets. We also compare gross profit to prior periods and across locationssegments to identify trends as well as underperforming locations.segments.

Gross Margins

Gross margins provide an important gauge of how effective we are at converting revenue into profits. This metric works in tandem with gross profit to ensure that we do not increase gross profit at the expense of lower margins, nor pursue higher gross margins exclusively at the expense of declining gross profits. We track gross margins by segment and service line and compare them across prior periods and across segments and service lines to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income,income/(loss), plus taxes, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, plus any impairment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to GAAP, plus/(minus)accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), plus non-cash losses/(gains)losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense, non-cash compensation expense, non-recurring compensation expense and nonrecurringnon-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities relatedfacilities-related exit and disposal related expenditures.disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains) and plus any inventory write-downs. The adjustments to EBITDA are generally consistent with such adjustments described in our Credit Facility. See “—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “NoteNote Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures”Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations to Our Historical Results of Operations

Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented, primarily for the reasons described below and those described in “—Industry Overview” above.

Acquisition and Divestiture Activity

As described above, we are continuously evaluating potential investments, particularly in water infrastructure and other water-related services and technology. To the extent we consummate acquisitions, any incremental revenues or expenses from such transactions are not included in our historical results of operations.

Well Chemical Services Acquisition

On September 30, 2019, we completed our acquisition of WCS. Our historical financial statements for periods prior to September 30, 2019 do not include the results of operations of WCS.

3543


Affirm Divestitures

We sold the Affirm crane and field services businesses on February 26, 2019 and June 28, 2019, respectively. Affirm accounted for $21.8 million of revenue during 2019. Following the two divestitures, the divested operations were not included in the consolidated results of operations.

Canadian Operations Divestitures

On March 19, 2019, we sold over half of our Canadian operationsand on April 1, 2019, we sold and wound down the rest of the Canadian operations. Canadian operations accounted for $8.6 million of annual revenue during 2019. Following the divestitures, the divested Canadian operations were not included in the consolidated results of operations.

Sand Hauling Wind Down

During 2019, we wound down our sand hauling operations and sold certain of our sand hauling property and equipment. Sand hauling accounted for $3.3 million of annual revenue during 2019.

Proceeds received from Divestitures and Wind Down

During 2019, we received $30.1 million from divestitures and fixed asset sale activity in connection with the sale and wind down of our Affirm subsidiary and the sand hauling and Canadian operations.

The increasedecrease was primarily attributable to andriven by a $71.1 million decline in Water Services revenue, $21.6 million lower revenue from the combination of our Affirm subsidiary, sand hauling operations and Canadian operations, all of which were fully divested and wound down during 2019, partially offset by a $4.2 million increase in Oilfield Chemicals revenue and a $4.1 million increase in Water Infrastructure revenue as discussed below. For the Current Quarter, our Water Solutions segment revenues of $64.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, ourServices, Water Solutions, AccommodationsInfrastructure, Oilfield Chemicals and Rentals, and Wellsite Completion and Construction ServicesOther segments constituted 81.3%53.7%, 10.1%20.8%, 25.5% and 8.6%0.0% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 82.5%60.8%, 7.9%14.8%, 18.4%, and 9.6%6.0%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.Prior Quarter.

The increasedecrease was primarily attributable to an increase in the demandreduced pricing for our services as a result of a risecoupled with reduced drilling and completions activity due to decreases in completion activitiesoil prices late in the quarter due to OPEC supply and an increase in average quarterly rig count of 97.4% during the third quarter of 2017COVID-19 pandemic.

Water Infrastructure. Revenue increased by $4.1 million, or 7.7%, to $57.8 million for the Current Quarter compared to the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, the GRR Acquisition, which closed March 10, 2017, contributed $10.4$53.6 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017.Prior Quarter, primarily due to increased water sales in the Permian and the initiation of our Northern Delaware pipeline system in New Mexico, partially offset by declines in water sourcing volumes in the MidCon.

Revenue increased $9.8$4.2 million, or 167.5%6.3%, to $15.6$71.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter compared to $5.8$66.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.Prior Quarter, due to the incremental revenue from the WCS acquisition, partially offset by lower completions revenue.

Other. Other revenue was zero for the Current Quarter compared to $21.6 million in the Prior Quarter as our Affirm subsidiary, sand hauling operations and Canadian operations were divested and wound down during 2019.

Costs of Revenue

Costs of revenue decreased $53.7 million, or 16.9%, to $263.0 million for the Current Quarter compared to $316.6 million for the Prior Quarter. The revenue increasedecrease was primarily attributabledue to a rise$34.0 million decline in completion activitiesWater Services costs and an$21.0 million lower combined costs from our Affirm subsidiary, sand hauling operations and Canadian operations, all of which were divested and wound down during 2019. Also contributing to the decline was a $5.3 million decrease in depreciation costs, partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in our customers’ quarterly rig count, which ledWater Infrastructure costs and a $0.3 million increase in Oilfield Chemicals costs as further discussed below.

Water Services. Cost of revenue decreased $34.1 million, or 20.8% to higher demand$129.1 million for equipment rentalsthe Current Quarter compared to $163.1 million for the Prior Quarter. Cost of revenue decreased due to reduced customer drilling and completions activity levels in the Current Quarter. Costs as a percent of revenue increased from 73.9% to 86.4% due to reductions in revenue generating activity we could not fully offset with cost reductions as well as an increase in pricing for such rentals and other related services.

Wellsite Completion and Construction Services. Revenue increased $6.1 million, or 85.8%, to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in field services revenues of $5.1 million in our Rockies and Permian regions and increases in crane services revenues of $1.9 million, offset by $0.9 million due to theyard closure of our South Texas field services at the end of 2016. These increases were driven by the addition of the Permian region in 2017 and by increased demand for these servicescosts resulting from several new customers resuming completion activities during 2017.current market conditions.

Costs of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased $51.5 million, or 62.1%, to $134.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $82.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was largely attributable to higher salaries and wages due to an increase in employee headcount, and increased outside services, rentals and materials expense as a result of increased demand for our services resulting from the overall increase in drilling, completion and production activities, particularly in our Water Solutions segment. The cost of revenue increase by operating segment was as follows:

Water SolutionsInfrastructure. Cost of revenue increased $38.1$6.4 million, or 76.2%15.4%, to $88.1$47.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter compared to $50.0$41.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was partly attributable to an increase in salaries and wages of $14.7 million resulting from a 48% increase in average headcount during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of revenue was also attributable to an increase in contract labor expense of $7.6 million, materials and supplies expense of $6.8 million, equipment rental and maintenance expense of $4.7 million, bulk and retail fuel expense of $2.9 million and allocated insurance costs of $0.4 million, offset by a decrease in allocated facility costs of $0.4 million. The increase in fuel and maintenance related expenses were largely attributable to a 28.1% increase in the average number of trucks and tractors in our fleet.

Accommodations and Rentals.Prior Quarter. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue increased $7.0from 77.3% to 82.8% primarily due to decreased pricing on non-pipeline water sources as well as the acceleration of certain prepaid expenses relating to water rights secured for a customer, due to the bankruptcy of such customer.

Oilfield Chemicals. Costs of revenue increased $0.3 million, or 141.0%0.6%, to $12.0$59.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter compared to $5.0$59.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was partially attributable to an increase in salaries and wages of $1.9 million resulting from an 85% increase in average headcount during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. This increase in labor workforce also resulted in a $1.1 million increase of certain labor support costs including fuel and repair and maintenance expenses. The cost of revenue increase was also partly attributable to increases in outside services, equipment rentals and variable supplies expense totaling $3.7 million resulting from increased demand for services.

Wellsite Completion and Construction Services.Prior Quarter. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue decreased from 89.1% to 84.3% due primarily to increased $4.6 million, or 72.9%,sales of higher-margin friction reducer products as well as incremental gross profits resulting from the WCS acquisition.

Other. Other costs decreased to $10.9less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter compared to $6.3$21.1 million forin the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase wasPrior Quarter, primarily attributabledue to increased direct labor coststhe divestitures discussed above.

This was partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in Oilfield Chemicals gross profit and $5.3 million decrease in depreciation expense. Gross margin as a resultpercent of factors described above.revenue was 5.5% and 12.7% in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in selling,Selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.3decreased $7.1 million, or 83.6%21.9%, to $16.1$25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017Current Quarter compared to $8.8 $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016Prior Quarter. This was primarilycomprised of $3.6 million lower equity-based compensation costs, $2.3 million lower incentive compensation costs, $1.3 million lower professional fees, and $1.6 million of other expense reductions from cost cutting measures in response to lower oil prices partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in bad debt expense.

Impairment

Goodwill and trademark impairment costs were $276.0 million and $4.4 million in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. During the Current Quarter, all of our goodwill was impaired due to an increasethe dramatic decline in administrative laboroil prices and the uncertainty associated with the future recovery. We also recorded a $9.1 million partial impairment of our Rockwater trademark. During the Prior Quarter, we incurred $4.4 million of goodwill impairment in connection with divesting Affirm.

Impairment of property and equipment costs of $1.5were $3.2 million primarily related to our new status as a public company and an increase$0.5 million in legalthe Current Quarter and professional fees of $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, largely related to the Merger, offset by lower corporate office rent of less than $0.1 million.Prior Quarter, respectively.

Lease Abandonment Costs

Due to depressed industry conditionsLease abandonment costs were $1.0 million and a resulting reduction$1.1 million in the need for facilities primarily in 2016, duringCurrent Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $0.6 million ofCurrent Quarter, lease abandonment costs primarily related to certain facilities thatnewly abandoned properties associated with realignment and combining activity on fewer leased properties. The Prior Quarter costs were no longerprimarily due to early lease terminations in use. Duringconnection with the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded $13.2 millionwind-down and divestiture of lease abandonment costs related to certain facilities that were no longer in use.Canadian operations.

Revenue

Our revenue increased $172.6 million, or 80.0%, to $388.3$1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 comparedPrior Quarter primarily due to $215.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increasegoodwill, trademark and fixed asset impairments and lower Water Services gross profit. This was primarily attributable to an increase in our Water Solutions segment revenues of $138.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our Water Solutions, Accommodations and Rentals, and Wellsite Completion and Construction Services segments constituted 80.2%, 9.9% and 9.9% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 80.3%, 9.1%, and 10.6%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The revenue increase by operating segment was as follows:

Water Solutions.  Revenue increased $138.1 million, or 79.8%, to $311.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $173.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the demand for our services as a result of a rise in completion activities and an increase in average quarterly rig count of 77.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the GRR Acquisition, which closed on March 10, 2017, contributed $21.5 million of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

39


Accommodations and Rentals.   Revenue increased $18.9 million, or 96.4%, to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The revenue increase was primarily attributable to a rise in completion activities and an increase in our customers’ quarterly rig count, which led to higher demand for equipment rentals.

Wellsite Completion and Construction Services. Revenue increased $15.6 million, or 68.0%, to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in field services revenues of $12.9 million in our Rockies and Permian regions, increases in construction services revenue of $2.3 million in our South Texas region and increases in crane services revenues of $3.8 million,partially offset by $3.1 million due to the closure of our South Texas field services at the end of 2016. These increases were driven by the addition of the Permian region in 2017 and by the increased demand for these services resulting from several new customers resuming completion activities during 2017.

Costs of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased $102.9 million, or 40.5%, to $356.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $253.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was largely attributable to higher salaries and wages due to an increase in employee headcount, and increased outside services, rentals and materials as a result of increased demand for ours services resulting from the overall increase in drilling, completion and production activities, particularly in our Water Solutions segment. The cost of revenue increase by operating segment was as follows:

Water Solutions.  Cost of revenue increased $82.1 million, or 56.7%, to $226.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $144.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was partly attributable to an increase in salaries and wages of $28.0 million as a result of a 28% increase in average headcount during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The increase was also attributable to an increase in materials and supplies expense of $17.0 million, contract labor expense of $16.1 million, equipment rental and maintenance expense of $11.3 million and bulk and retail fuel expense of $7.3 million, offset by a decrease in allocated facility costs of $3.3 million.

Accommodations and Rentals.  Cost of revenue increased $15.2 million, or 97.7%, to $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was partially attributable to an increase in salaries and wages of $3.8 million resulting from a 45% increase in average headcount during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. This increase in labor workforce also resulted in a $2.8 million increase of certain labor support costs including fuel and repair and maintenance expenses. The cost of revenue increase was also partly attributable to increases in outside services, equipment rentals and variable supplies expense totaling $8.1 million resulting from increased demand for services.

Wellsite Completion and Construction Services.  Cost of revenue increased $12.3 million, or 62.3%, to $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to expansion into the Permian region in 2017 and new customer wins which led to higher direct and contract labor expenses of $8.0 million. To support this increased labor expense, increases in fuel and repair and maintenance costs of $1.2 million were incurred. This cost of revenue increase was also partially attributable to increases in equipment rental costs of $2.2 million and supplies and materials expense of $0.9 million needed to support customer demand.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.7 million, or 9.1%, to $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to assets becoming fully depreciated or being impaired during the first half of 2016.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit (loss) improved by $69.7 million, to a gross profit of $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to gross loss of $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of factors described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase inlower selling, general and administrative expensescosts, lower depreciation costs, lower losses on sales of $23.4 million, or 90.1%, to $49.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to a payout on our phantom equity unitsproperty and IPO success bonusesequipment and lower interest expense.

47

Table of $12.5 million, including associated taxes, an increase in administrative labor costs of $2.7 million, primarily related to our new status as a public company, and an increase in legal and professional fees of $6.4 million, primarily related to the Merger, GRR Acquisition and other deal costs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period offset by lower corporate office rent of $0.6 million.Contents

Impairment

        There were no impairment losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Due to significant reductions in oil and gas prices and rig counts during early 2016, we determined there were triggering events requiring an assessment of the recoverability of goodwill. This assessment resulted in our recognition in our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of an impairment loss of $137.6 million related to goodwill and $60.0 million related to long-lived assets in our Water Solutions segment, $1.0 million related to goodwill and less than $0.1 million related to other intangible assets in our Accommodations and Rentals segment.

Lease Abandonment Costs

Due to depressed industry conditions and a resulting reduction in the need for facilities, we decided to close certain facilities beginning in the third quarter of 2016. As a result of continuing costs related to certain facilities that are no longer in use, we recorded $2.9 million of lease abandonment costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We recorded $13.2 million of lease abandonment costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest Expense

The decrease in interest expense of $9.9 million, or 84.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to the completion of the 144A Offering on December 20, 2016 and the completion of the IPO on April 26, 2017. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the 144A Offering to repay all outstanding borrowings and a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all of our subsequent outstanding indebtedness related to GRR Acquisition.

Net Loss

Net loss decreased by $269.1 million, or 93.0%, to $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $289.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 largely as a result of the impairment losses and other factors described above.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus taxes, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, plus any impairment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to GAAP, plus/(minus)plus non-cash losses/(gains)losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense,

41


non-cash compensation expense, and non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures.expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains) and plus any inventory write-downs. The adjustments to EBITDA are generally consistent with such adjustments described in our Credit Facility. See “—Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our board of directors, management and many investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. YouOne should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. For further discussion, please see “Summary—Summary Consolidated“Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our Final Prospectus.2019 Form 10-K.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net loss,(loss) income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

(1)For the Current Quarter, these costs were due to the significant adverse change to the demand for the Company’s services in connection with a significant decline in the price of oil. For the Prior Quarter, these costs were due to the dissolution of our divested service lines.
(2)For the Prior Quarter, these costs primarily related to the rebranding of our Fluids Hauling business.
(3)For the Prior Quarter, these costs primarily related to losses on divestitures and related sales of property and equipment in connection with the wind down of former service lines.

EBITDA was ($264.2) million for the Current Quarter compared to $35.2 million for the Prior Quarter. The $299.4 million decrease in EBITDA was primarily driven by a $271.6 million increase in goodwill and trademark impairment costs, a decrease of $37.1 million in Water Services gross profit offset by a $7.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative costs and a $4.1 million decrease in loss on sale of property and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA was $23.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $53.4 million for the Prior Quarter. The $29.7 million decrease is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ disputes on oil prices and production levels, as well as the uncertainty about the timing of a future recovery is expected to have a negative impact on financial results in the coming quarters. We are taking actions to manage costs and cash, including but not limited to significantly reducing headcount, cutting salaries, closing operational yards, reducing forecasted capital expenditures, streamlining operational and back office functions, selling excess equipment, deferring payroll tax payments for the rest of 2020 in accordance with the CARES Act and deferring applicable lease payments.

Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been capital contributions from our members, the net proceeds from the 144A Offering, the net proceeds from the IPO, borrowingsare cash on hand, borrowing capacity under our current Credit FacilityAgreement and cash flows from

42


operations. Our primary uses of capital have been to maintain our asset base, implement technological advancements, make capital expenditures to support organic growth, fund acquisitions, and fund acquisitions.when appropriate, repurchase shares of Class A common stock in the open market. Depending uponon market conditions and other factors, we may also issue debt and equity securities if needed.

As of March 31, 2020, we had no outstanding bank debt and a positive net cash position. We prioritize sustained positive free cash flow and a strong balance sheet, and evaluate potential acquisitions and investments in the context of those priorities, in addition to the economics of the opportunity. We believe this approach provides us with additional flexibility to evaluate larger investments as well as improved resilience in a sustained downturn versus many of our peers.

We intend to finance most of our capital expenditures, contractual obligations and working capital needs with cash generated from operations and borrowings fromunder our Credit Facility.Agreement. For a discussion of the Credit Facility,Agreement, see “—Credit Facility”Agreement” below. WeAlthough we cannot provide any assurance, we believe that our current cash balance, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Credit FacilityAgreement will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

On April 26, 2017, we completed the IPO for net proceedsAs of approximately $111.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. We contributed all of these net proceeds to SES Holdings in exchange for SES Holdings LLC Units. SES Holdings used the net proceeds to repay borrowings incurred under our Credit Facility to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the GRR Acquisition, for the cash settlement of outstanding phantom unit awards at SES Holdings and for 2017 budgeted capital expenditures.On May 10, 2017, we received approximately $17.1 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, from the exercise in full by the underwriters of our IPO of their option to purchase additional shares of our Select Class A Common Stock. We used the net proceeds from the underwriters’ option exercise for general corporate purposes, including funding 2017 budgeted capital expenditures.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $42.4 million. In addition to cash$114.1 million and cash equivalents, we had approximately $85.9$180.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility asAgreement. As of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $200.6 million, we had no outstanding borrowings and the outstanding letters of credit totaled $19.8 million. As of May 4, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $192.2 million, the outstanding letters of credit totaled$15.6 million, and the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $176.6 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The demand, pricing and terms for oilfield services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of activity for the U.S. oil and gas industry. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: global epidemics or pandemics, including COVID-19; the supply of and demand for oil and gas; the level ofcurrent prices andas well as expectations about future prices of oil and gas; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and gas; the expected decline in rates of declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves; available storage capacity and pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; political instability in oil-producing countries; environmental regulations; technical advances affecting energy consumption; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; and merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers.

The level of activity in the U.S. oil and gas industry is historically volatile. Expected trends in oil and gas production activities may not continue and demand for our services may not reflect the level of activity in the industry. Any prolonged substantial reduction inSustained low oil and gas prices have affected, and would likely continue to affect, oil and gas production levelsdrilling and completion activity and therefore affect demand for our services. A material decline inSustained low oil and gas prices or U.S. activity levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.flows, and we have begun to experience the significant negative effects of the severe disruption in the oil and gas industry from the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2017,As of March 31, 2020, we had no outstanding debtborrowings under our Credit Facility.Agreement. As of May 4, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $176.6 million of available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Interest is calculated under the terms of our Credit FacilityAgreement based on our selection, from time to time, of one of the index rates available to us plus an applicable margin that varies based on certain factors. Assuming our indebtedness remained constant throughout the period, there would not be an impact on interest expense as a result of a 1% increase or decrease in the interest rate on this amount of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have been exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar with regard to the activities of our former Canadian subsidiary, which had designated the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. With the recent divestitures of our Canadian operations, we anticipate minimal future exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a‑15(b)13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d‑15(e)15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.Report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely against us, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are, however, named defendants in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including certain environmental claims and employee-related matters, and we expect that we will be named defendants in similar lawsuits, investigations and claims in the future. While the outcome of these lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We have not assumed any liabilities arising out of these existing lawsuits, investigations and claims.

In December 2016, Rockwater was notified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania that it is being investigated for altering emissions control systems on several of its vehicles. We are cooperating with the investigation and have determined that mechanics servicing our vehicle fleet may have installed software on certain vehicles and modified a few other vehicles to deactivate or bypass the factory-installed emissions control systems. At present, it appears that 31 vehicles in Pennsylvania were modified in this manner, apparently to improve vehicle performance and reliability. As a result of a company-wide investigation undertaken voluntarily and in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice, we have determined that approximately 30 additional company vehicles outside of Pennsylvania may have been altered. As of the date of the initiation of the investigation, we operated approximately 1,400 vehicles in the U.S., and the modified vehicles constituted less than 5% of our fleet at such time. We are unable to predict at this time whether any administrative, civil or criminal charges will be brought against us, although we have learned that we may be the target of a criminal investigation, and it is possible that other individuals could become targets. We are cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice in all aspects of the investigation and have instituted procedures to ensure that our mechanics do not tamper with or bypass any emissions control systems when they are performing vehicle maintenance, and we have also reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice providing for either the restoration or removal from service of those vehicles that were modified. In December 2018, we met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to begin discussions regarding a resolution of this matter and these discussions continued in 2019 and are ongoing. Although we are unable to predict the timing or outcome of this investigation, we note that in similar circumstances, the EPA has imposed fines of approximately $7,200 per altered vehicle and has also required the responsible party to disgorge any financial benefit that it may have derived.

Any such risks, including, without limitation, the failurein addition to realize expected profitability, growth or accretion; the incurrence of liabilities or other compliance costs related to environmental or regulatory matters, including potential liabilities thatthose described below and in our 2019 Form 10-K, may be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of conduct;materially and the incurrence of unanticipated liabilities and costs for which indemnification is unavailable or inadequate. If these risks or other unanticipated liabilities were to materialize, any desired benefits of the Merger may not be fully realized, if at all, andadversely affect our futurebusiness, financial performancecondition, cash flows and results of operations.

Our business depends on capital spending by the oil and gas industry in the U.S. and reductions in capital spending could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. We expect capital spending by our customers to decrease for the remainder of 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19 on demand for oil and reduced prices resulting from the current oversupply of oil.

Demand for our services is directly affected by current and anticipated oil and natural gas prices and related capital spending by our customers to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas in the U.S.Prices for oil and gas historically have been extremely volatile and are expected to continue to be volatile, particularly in light of the impacts of COVID-19. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the average WTI spot price was $45.34, versus an average price of $54.82 for first quarter ended March 31, 2019. In March 2020, Saudi Arabia and Russia failed to reach a decision to cut production of oil and gas along with OPEC. Subsequently, Saudi Arabia significantly reduced the prices

55

at which it sells oil and announced plans to increase production. These events, combined with the continued outbreak of COVID-19, contributed to a sharp drop in prices for oil in the first quarter of 2020. The WTI price closed at $20.51 on March 31, 2020. In April 2020, OPEC (which includes Saudi Arabia), Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) and the United States agreed to curtail hydrocarbon production by approximately 10 million barrels per day, but the impact of these cuts on the market price for oil and natural gas remains uncertain. Oil prices have fallen further in recent weeks in light of widespread reduced demand as a result of COVID-19 as well as oversupply of oil and significant storage constraints.

If oil and gas prices remain at current levels or continue to decline, our customers may reduce their exploration, development and production activities and demand lower rates for our services or delay, modify, or terminate their use of our services. Volatility or weakness in oil prices or natural gas prices (or the perception that oil prices or natural gas prices will decrease) affects the spending patterns of our customers and may result in the drilling or completion of fewer new wells or lower production spending on existing wells. This, in turn, could be negatively impacted.

Failurelead to successfully combinelower demand for our services and may cause lower rates and lower utilization of our assets. For example several leading international and national oil companies have announced their intention to reduce capital expenditures in 2020, and most of our customers have reduced their capital expenditures budget. Even in an environment of stronger oil and gas prices, reduced completion rates of new oil and gas production in our market areas as a result of decreased capital spending may have a negative long-term impact on our business withto the business from Rockwater mayextent the reduced number of wells for us to service more than offsets increasing completion activity and intensity. Any of these conditions or events could adversely affect our futureoperating results. If a recovery does not materialize and our customers fail to increase their capital spending, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including:

the severity and duration of world health events, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak, related economic repercussions and the resulting severe disruption in the oil and gas industry and negative impact on demand for oil and gas, which is negatively impacting our business;
domestic and foreign economic conditions and supply of and demand for oil and gas;
the level of prices, and expectations regarding future prices, of oil and gas;
the level of global oil and gas exploration and production and storage capacity;
operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges resulting from limited worksite access, remote work arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruption;
recommendations of, or restrictions imposed by, government and health authorities, including travel bans, quarantines, and shelter-in-place orders to address the COVID-19 outbreak;
actions by the members of OPEC+ with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with supply limitations;
governmental regulations, including the policies of governments regarding the exploration for and production and development of their oil and gas reserves;
taxation and royalty charges;
political and economic conditions in oil and gas producing countries;
global weather conditions, pandemics and natural disasters;
worldwide political, military and economic conditions;
the cost of producing and delivering oil and gas;
the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves;
activities by non-governmental organizations to limit certain sources of funding for the energy sector or restrict the exploration, development and production of oil and gas;
the ability of oil and gas producers to access capital;
technical advances affecting production efficiencies and overall energy consumption; and
the potential acceleration of the development of alternative fuels.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The consummationglobal or national outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, may cause disruptions to our business and operational plans, which may include (i) shortages of employees, (ii) unavailability of contractors and subcontractors, (iii) interruption of supplies from third parties upon which we rely, (iv) recommendations of, or restrictions imposed by, government and health authorities, including quarantines, to address the COVID-19 outbreak and (v) restrictions that we and our contractors and subcontractors impose, including facility shutdowns or access restrictions, to ensure the safety of employees and (vi) reductions, delays or cancellations of planned operations by our customers. Additionally, these disruptions could negatively impact our financial results. For example, in response to COVID-19, we have temporarily closed our corporate offices and restricted all non-critical personnel to work remotely, reduced headcount and employee salaries both temporarily and permanently, closed certain yard locations, reduced third party expenses, streamlined operations, reduced capital expenditures and recorded impairment expenses.

Further, the effects of COVID-19 and concerns regarding its global spread have negatively impacted the global economy, reduced global oil demand, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial and commodities markets, which could lead to our customers curtailing existing production due to lack of downstream demand or storage capacity as well as reducing or eliminating the number of wells completed in the near to medium term.

The extent of the Merger involves potential risks, including:

·

the failure to realize expected profitability, growth or accretion;

·

environmental or regulatory compliance matters or liabilities;

·

diversion of management's attention from our existing businesses; and

·

the incurrence of unanticipated liabilities and costs for which indemnification is unavailable or inadequate.

If these risks or other anticipated or unanticipated liabilities wereimpact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to materialize, any desired benefitsexecute our business strategies and initiatives, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and related restrictions on travel and transports, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption, as well as significantly decreased demand for oil and gas, could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, and we have begun to experience the Merger may not be fully realized, if at all, and our future business operations and our cash available for distribution could be negatively impacted.negative impacts of such disruption.
