CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, ~~and~~in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the heading “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly ~~Report.~~Report and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. 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 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has caused a sharp decline in economic activity in the United States and around the world, resulting in lower demand for oil and gas, oversupply and therefore lower oil and gas prices, to which our exploration and production (“E&P”) customers have responded by cutting capital spending, leading to fewer oil and gas well completions and thus reduced demand for our services, all of which has had, and will likely continue to have, a negative impact on our financial results;

●

actions taken by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other allied producing countries, (“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 announced 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;

●

the potential deterioration of our customers’ financial condition, including defaults resulting from actual or potential insolvencies;

●

the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas ~~companies;~~companies, including significant recent reductions and potential additional reductions in capital expenditures by oil and gas producers in response to commodity prices and dramatically reduced demand;

●

the degree to which consolidation among our customers’ may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions in the near-term;

●

trends and volatility in oil and gas ~~prices;~~prices, and our ability to manage through such volatility;

●

~~demand for~~ our ~~services;~~customers’ ability to complete and produce new wells;

●

the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including those related to hydraulic fracturing, accessing water, disposing of wastewater, transferring produced water, interstate

Table of Contents

freshwater transfer, chemicals, carbon pricing, taxation or emissions, drilling on federal lands and various other environmental matters;

●

capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a slowdown or delay in the demand for our services in our core markets;

●

our ability to retain key management and employees;

●

our ability to hire and retain skilled labor;

●

regional impacts to our business, including our key infrastructure assets within the Bakken and ~~northern~~Northern Delaware formation of the Permian Basin;

●

our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms;

●

our health, safety and environmental performance;

●

the impact of competition on our operations;

●

the degree to which our ~~exploration and production (“~~E~~&P”)~~&P customers may elect to ~~bring~~operate their water-management services in-house rather than source these services from companies like us;

~~Table of Contents~~

●

our level of indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in our Credit Agreement (as defined herein) or future debt instruments;

●

delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us or our customers;

●

constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business;

●

the impact of advances or changes in well-completion technologies or practices that result in reduced demand for our services, either on a volumetric or time basis;

●

changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve;

●

the ability to source certain raw materials globally from economically advantaged sources;

●

accidents, weather, seasonality or other events affecting our business; and

●

the other risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and under the headings “Part I―Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Part I―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and this Quarterly Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise

Table of Contents

any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note.

SELECT ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the business: Select Energy Services, Inc. (“we,” “Select Inc.” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 21, 2016. The Company is a holding company whose sole material asset consists of common units (“SES Holdings LLC Units”) in SES Holdings, LLC (“SES Holdings” ~~or the “Predecessor”~~).

We are a leading provider of comprehensive water-management solutions to the oil and gas industry in the United States (“U.S.”). We also develop, manufacture and deliver a full suite of chemical solutions for use in oil and gas well completion and production operations. ~~Within~~Through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions over the ~~major shale plays~~last decade, we have developed a leading position in the ~~U.S., we believe we are a market leader in~~ water sourcing, water transfer (both by permanent pipeline and temporary hose) and temporary water containment prior to its use in drilling and completion activities associated with hydraulic fracture stimulation or “fracking,” which we refer to collectively as “pre-frac water services”. In addition, we provide testing and flowback services immediately following the well completion. In most of our areas of operations, we also provide additional complementary water-related services that support oil and gas well completion and production activities, including water network automation, treatment, hauling, water recycling and disposal. We also manufacture a full suite of specialty chemicals used in the fracturing and water recycling process, and we provide chemicals needed by our customers to help increase oil and gas production and lower costs over the life of a well.solutions industry. We believe we are the only company in the oilfield services industry that combines ~~full life cycle~~comprehensive water-management services with ~~the ability to develop and provide~~ related chemical products. Furthermore, we believe we are one of the few large oilfield services companies whose primary focus is on the management and treatment of water and water resources in the oil and gas production industry. Accordingly, the importance of responsibly managing water resources through our operations to help conserve fresh water and protect the environment is paramount to our continued success.

Select 144A Offering and Initial Public Offering. On December 20, 2016, Select Inc. completed a private placement (the “Select 144A Offering”) of 16,100,000 shares of Select Inc. Class A-1 common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which were converted into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) following the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). SES Holdings issued 16,100,000 SES Holdings LLC Units to Select Inc., and Select Inc. became the sole managing member of SES Holdings. Select Inc. issued 38,462,541 shares of its Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), to the other member of SES Holdings, SES Legacy Holdings, LLC (“Legacy Owner Holdco”) or 1 share for each SES Holdings LLC Unit held by Legacy Owner Holdco.

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the ~~United States~~U.S. (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

This ~~Form 10-Q~~Quarterly Report relates to the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 (the “Current Quarter” and the “Current Period”, respectively) and the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 (the “Prior Quarter” and the “Prior Period”, respectively). The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (the ~~“2018~~“2019 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on ~~March 1, 2019,~~February 25, 2020 includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this ~~Form 10-Q.~~Quarterly Report. All material adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. The results for the Current Quarter and Current Period ~~are~~may not ~~necessarily~~be indicative of the results to be expected for the full ~~year.~~year, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For investments in subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, but where the Company exercises control, the equity held by the minority owners and their portion of net income or loss are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have significant control or influence are accounted for using the cost method. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had 1 cost-method ~~investee.~~investment. The Company’s investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When circumstances indicate that the fair value of its investment is less than its carrying value and the reduction in value is other than temporary, the reduction in value is recognized in earnings.

Segment reporting: The Company has 3 ~~operating and~~ reportable segments. ~~Operating~~Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s current reportable segments are Water Services, Water Infrastructure, and Oilfield Chemicals, following its decision in the first quarter of 2019 to sell and wind down certain operations within its former Wellsite Services segment, including the operations of its subsidiary Affirm Oilfield Services, LLC (“Affirm”), its sand hauling operations and Canadian operations.Chemicals.

The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses, including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, ~~containment,~~ water ~~treatment~~containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals ~~business, which were previously a part of the former Wellsite Services segment.~~ business.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s prior period consolidated financial information ~~in order~~ to conform to the current period presentation. These presentation changes did not impact the Company’s consolidated net income, consolidated cash flows, total assets, total liabilities or total stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, included in the ~~Company’s most recent Annual Report on~~2019 Form 10-K. With the exception of the adoption of the new lease standard discussed in Note 5, there have been no significant changes in such policies or the application of such policies during the Current Quarter.

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-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory, income taxes, self-insurance liabilities, share-based compensation, contingent liabilities and 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.

Allowance for credit losses: The Company’s allowance for credit losses relates to trade accounts receivable. The Company treats 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. Additionally, the Company adjusts this allowance based on specific information in connection with aged receivables. Historically, most bad debt has been incurred where a customer’s financial condition significantly deteriorates, which in some cases leads to bankruptcy. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued market volatility is highly uncertain and, as such, the impact on expected losses is subject to significant judgment and may cause variability in the Company’s allowance for credit losses in future periods.

The following table presents the changes to the allowance for the Current Period:


	Nine months ended September 30, 2020
	(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	5,773

Asset retirement obligations: The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to 16 disposal facilities with obligations for plugging wells, removing surface equipment, and returning land to its pre-drilling condition.

We review the adequacy of our ARO liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows underlying the liabilities have changed. The Company’s ARO liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor Income: As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 2 facility leases and 15 facility subleases that are accounted for as follows:

The Company also generates short-term equipment rental revenue. See Note 5—Revenue for a discussion of revenue recognition for the accommodations and rentals business.

Operating leases: Primarily due to future uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, certain renewal options were no longer considered reasonably certain of being exercised as of June 30, 2020. This caused a reduction of approximately $5.7 million in right of use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the Company has successfully negotiated certain lease payment deferrals as well as lease payment reductions that are being accounted for as modifications, with no impact to straight-line lease expense from lease payment deferrals and a reduction in straight-line rent expense from lease payment reductions.

Defined Contribution Plan: During the Current Period, due to worsening economic conditions, the Company suspended the match of its defined contribution 401(k) Plan and incurred 0 match expense in the Current Period. The Company incurred $0.9 million and $3.4 million of match expense in the Prior Quarter and Prior Period, respectively.

Payroll Tax Deferral: In the Current Period, the Company began taking advantage of the employer payroll tax deferral provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and has deferred the payment of $3.8 million of payroll taxes as of September 30, 2020. The deferral is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amounts being deferred during 2020, must be repaid half by December 31, 2021 and half by December 31, 2022.

Recent accounting pronouncements: In ~~February~~June 2016, ~~the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases~~, which modifies the lease recognition requirements and requires entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and to disclose key qualitative and quantitative information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. Based on the original guidance in ASU 2016-02, lessees and lessors would have been required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, including a number of optional practical expedients. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, ~~Leases (ASC 842): Targeted Improvements,~~ which provides entities with an option to apply the guidance prospectively, instead of retrospectively, and allows for other classification provisions. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company elected to recognize its lease assets and liabilities on a prospective basis, beginning on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. Additionally, the Company elected practical expedients to (i) exclude right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, (ii) elected to treat lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, (iii) grandfathered its current accounting for land easements that commenced before January 1, 2019, and (iv) used the package of practical expedients to retain prior lease classification, prior treatment of initial direct costs and prior determination of whether a contract constituted a lease. See Note 5—Leases for additional information.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~In June 2016,~~ the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends ~~U.S.~~ GAAP by introducing a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 ~~although it may be adopted one year earlier,~~ and requires a

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 isin the first quarter of 2020 did not ~~expected~~have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted ASU 2019-12 in the Current Quarter and elected all aspects of this standard as of the beginning of 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

~~Well Chemical Services Acquisition~~

On September 30, 2019, the Company acquired a well chemical services business (“WCS”), formerly a division of Baker Hughes Company, for $10.4 million, funded with cash on hand (the “WCS Acquisition”). WCS provides advanced water treatment solutions, specialized stimulation flow assurance and integrity additives and post-treatment monitoring service in the U.S. This acquisition expands the Company’s service offerings in oilfield water treatment across the full life-cycle of water, from pre-frac treatment through re-use and recycling.

The WCS Acquisition was 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. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to change upon final valuation and should be treated as preliminary values. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company’s Oilfield Chemicals segment. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:OTHER COSTS

Significant challenges that emerged during the Current Period, and that are expected to continue, have had and will likely continue to have a negative impact on our results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a worldwide slowdown in economic activity, resulting in a sharp decline in global oil demand and therefore, lower oil and natural gas prices. Global oil demand is expected to remain challenged at least until the COVID-19 pandemic can be contained. In response to lower oil and gas prices, our E&P customers have cut capital spending, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of wells drilled and completed in all of our markets. Reduced demand for our services has had a material, negative impact on our Current Quarter and Current Period financial results. While oil prices and U.S. unconventional completions activity have partially recovered from the recent lows, given the continued uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on oil demand, we are unable to predict if, when, and by how much the demand for our services and therefore our financial performance will improve.

~~Pro Well Acquisition~~

~~On November 20, 2018,~~Because the ~~Company acquired Pro Well Testing~~magnitude and Wireline, Inc. (“Pro Well”) with an initial payment of $12.4 million, funded with cash on hand (the “Pro Well Acquisition”). During March 2019, upon final settlement, the purchase price was revised to $11.8 million.

This acquisition expanded the Company’s flowback footprint into New Mexico and added new strategic customers. The Pro Well Acquisition was 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 total consideration paid exceeded the fair valueduration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown, we cannot forecast with reasonable certainty its impact on our business, financial condition or near or longer-term financial or operational results. However, we currently expect that our 2020 net ~~assets acquired~~income will be negative. During the Current Period, we have taken actions to protect our balance sheet and maintain our liquidity, including significantly decreasing our operating expenses by ~~$1.1 million,~~reducing headcount, reducing salaries and director compensation, idling facilities, 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 excess recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to expanding the Company’s flowback footprint into New Mexico and adding new strategic customers. The assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the results of operationsprovisions of the ~~acquired~~CARES Act, and may take advantage of future legislation passed by the United States Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Well Chemical Services Acquisition

On September 30, 2019, the Company acquired a well chemical services business (“WCS”), formerly a division of Baker Hughes Company, for $10.0 million, funded with cash on hand (the “WCS Acquisition”). WCS provides advanced water treatment solutions, specialized stimulation flow assurance and integrity additives and post-treatment monitoring service in the U.S. This acquisition expands the Company’s service offerings in oilfield water treatment across the full lifecycle of water, from pre-fracturing treatment through reuse and recycling.

The WCS Acquisition was 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. These estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the inventory and property and equipment acquired, customer relationships, and current liabilities were finalized as of December 31, 2019. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company’s Oilfield Chemicals segment. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

NOTE 4—5—REVENUE

~~Effective for the year ended December 31, 2018, the~~

The Company ~~adopted~~follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~(Topic~~ (Topic 606), ~~using the modified retrospective adoption method. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized. Although~~for most revenue recognition, ~~is governed by the new standard, the accommodations and rentals revenue continued to be guided by ASC 842 -~~ ~~Leases~~~~, discussed further below. The core principle of Topic 606 is that revenue is recognized when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects consideration for~~ which ~~entitlement is expected in exchange for those goods or services.~~

~~ASU 2014-09~~ provides a five-step model for determining revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of 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 performance 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 Company elected practical expedients (i) not to access whether immaterial promised goods or services are performance obligations, (ii) not to provide disclosures on remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or lessaccommodations and ~~(iii) to exclude transaction price taxes assessed~~rentals revenue is guided by ~~governmental authorities as revenue.~~ASC 842 – Leases.

The following factors are applicable to all ~~three~~3 of the Company’s segments for the first nine months of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, 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 services rendered and 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 Water Infrastructure segments, performance obligations arise in connection with services provided to customers in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount the Company expects to collect. Services are generally sold based upon customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenues are generated by services rendered and measured based on output generated, which is usually simultaneously received and consumed by customers at their job sites. As a multi-job site organization, contract terms, including pricing for the Company’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 per unit basis with unconditional rights to consideration for services

~~Table of Contents~~

rendered reflected as accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for ~~doubtful accounts.~~credit losses. In cases where a prepayment is received before the Company satisfies its performance obligations, a contract liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other current 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 September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had ~~four~~five contracts in place for these segments lasting over aone 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.

Table of Contents

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 ~~doubtful accounts.~~credit losses. Customer returns are rare and immaterial and there were no material in-process customer agreements for this segment as of September 30, ~~2019~~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 September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, no material rental agreements lasted more than aone year.

~~NOTE 5—LEASES~~

As of September 30, 2019, the Company was the lessee for approximately 576 operating leases with durations greater than a year, approximately 16 subleases, approximately 41 finance leases, and is the lessor for 3 owned properties. Most of the operating leases either have renewal options of between one and five years or convert to month-to-month agreements at the end of the specified lease term. In addition to normal lease activity, the four Affirm and Canadian divestitures occurring in the Current Period included the assignment of leases to the buyers. The assigned leases impacted expenses during the Current Period, but were not included in the September 30, 2019 consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s operating leases are primarily for (i) housing personnel for operations, (ii) operational yards for storing and staging equipment, (iii) equipment used in operations, (iv) facilities used for back-office functions and (v) equipment used for back office functions. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain to exercise future renewal options for 1 facility lease for the corporate office building in Gainesville, Texas. ~~The majority of the Company’s long-term lease expenses are at fixed prices.~~

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has a significant number of short-term leases including month-to-month agreements that continue in perpetuity until the lessor or the Company terminates the lease agreement. Due to the volatility of the price of a barrel of oil and the short-term nature of the Company’s contracts with customers, the Company has determined that no short-term leases with indefinite renewals are reasonably certain to last more than a year into the future. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate based on what it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis, over a similar term based on information available at lease commencement.

~~The Company’s variable lease costs are comprised of variable royalties, variable common area maintenance, and variable reimbursement of lessor insurance and property taxes. Variable lease costs were~~ ~~$0.3 million and $1.1~~ ~~million during the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively.~~

The Company previously had an $18.8 million lease obligation associated with certain exit and disposal activities in connection with approximately 17 abandoned facility leases as of December 31, 2018. Upon adopting the new lease standard, the former exit-disposal cease use liability was reclassified and factored into the initial right-of-use (“ROU”) asset impairment calculation.

~~Property and Equipment Held-for-Sale and Impairments~~

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ~~During the first quarter~~See Note 3 for impairment and abandonment of 2019, the Company made the decision to sell and wind down certain operations within its former Wellsite Services segment, including the operations of its Affirm subsidiary, its sand hauling operations and its Canadian operations. This decision led us to classify the property and equipment ~~of these business as held-for-sale. All operations have been wound down, with $0.9 million remaining in held-for-sale as of September 30, 2019.

NOTE 8—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The annual impairment tests are based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 12). During the first quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, the Affirm goodwill was reduced to 0 from the crane divestiture and impairment. The $4.4 million of goodwill impairment was based on the expected proceeds from selling and winding down the rest of the Affirm business. Also,Company had triggering events in connection with the resulting significant adverse change to the demand for the Company’s ~~segment realignment,~~services in connection with a significant decline in the price of oil and the related global economic impacts resulting from the OPEC+ disputes 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. Given the volatile market environment at March 31, 2020, the Company ~~reallocated goodwill from~~utilized third-party valuation advisors to assist with these evaluations. These evaluations included significant judgment, including management’s short-term and long-term forecast of operating performance, discount rates based on our weighted-average cost of capital, revenue growth rates, profitability margins, capital expenditures, the timing of future cash flows based on an eventual recovery of the oil and gas industry, and in the case of long-lived assets, the remaining useful life and service potential of the asset. The Company performed quantitative tests for reporting units in both the ~~2018 Water Solutions segment to reporting units in the 2019~~ Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments using the income and market approaches, resulting in a full impairment to goodwill in both segments.

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 are as follows:

Due to the triggering events discussed above, the Company also tested all intangible assets for impairment during the first quarter of 2020. These evaluations included significant judgment, including discount rates based on our weighted-average cost of capital and the royalty rate. This resulted in $9.1 million of impairment to trademarks using the relief from royalty method, which was recorded in the Oilfield Chemicals segment.

NOTE 9—DEBT

Credit facility and revolving line of credit

On November 1, 2017, SES Holdings and Select Energy Services, LLC (“Select LLC”) entered into a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among SES Holdings, as parent, Select LLC, as borrower and certain of SES Holdings’ 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 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, the Company has the option to increase the maximum amount under the Credit Agreement by $150.0 million during the first three years following the closing. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is the earlier of (a) November 1, 2022, and (b) the earlier termination in whole of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement permits extensions of credit up to the lesser 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 defined in the Credit Agreement), plus (ii) 75% of Eligible Unbilled Receivables (as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided that this amount will not equal more than 35% 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 Credit Agreement) at such time and (B) the product of 85% multiplied by the Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) identified in the most recent Acceptable Appraisal of Inventory (as defined in the Credit Agreement), multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory at such time, provided that this amount will not equal more than 30% of the borrowing base, minus (iv) the aggregate amount of Reserves (as defined in the 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 Credit Agreement). The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly basis pursuant to a borrowing base certificate delivered by Select LLC to the Administrative Agent.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Select LLC’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 0.5%, (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. Interest is 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 Select LLC’s average excess availability under the Credit Agreement. 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 Credit Agreement will bear interest at 2.00% plus the otherwise applicable interest rate.


Level	Average Excess Availability	Base Rate Margin	Eurocurrency Rate Margin

I	< 33% of the commitments	1.00%	2.00%
II	< 66.67% of the commitments and ≥ 33.33% of the commitments	0.75%	1.75%
III	≥ 66.67% of the commitments	0.50%	1.50%


Level	Average Revolver Usage	Unused Line Fee Percentage

I	≥ 50% of the commitments	0.250%
II	< 50% of the commitments	0.375%

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

Table of Contents

The 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 Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts SES Holdings’ and Select LLC’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 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’ 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 Credit Agreement generally permits Select LLC to make distributions to allow Select Inc. to make payments required under the existing Tax Receivable Agreements. See ~~Note~~“Note 13—~~Related Party Transactions~~Related-Party Transactions” for further discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreements.

The 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 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 and including the first day after such time that availability under the 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 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.

The Company had 0 borrowings ~~and $45.0 million~~ outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 4.256% as of December 31, 2018.~~2019. As of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was ~~$228.4~~$63.6 million and ~~$270.5~~$214.6 million, respectively. The significant reduction in our borrowing base since December 31, 2019 was driven primarily by the meaningful reductions during the Current Period in our accounts receivable, which represent the primary collateral for the borrowing base.The borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was reduced by outstanding letters of credit of ~~$19.9~~$15.6 million and ~~$20.8~~$19.9 million as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. The Company’s letters of credit have a variable interest rate between 1.50% and 2.00% based on the Company’s average excess availability as outlined above. The unused portion of the available borrowings under the Credit Agreement was ~~$208.5~~$48.0 million as of September 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt to which they pertain. Total unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019, were ~~$2.1~~$1.4 million and ~~$2.6~~$2.0 million, respectively. As these debt issuance costs relate to a revolving line of credit, they are presented as a deferred charge within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs was $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

NOTE 11—EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

The SES Holdings 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, (“2011 Plan”) was approved by the board of managers of SES Holdings in April 2011. In conjunction with the Select 144A Offering, the Company adopted the Select Energy Services, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. Options that were outstanding under the 2011 Plan immediately prior to the Select 144A Offering were cancelled in exchange for new options granted under the 2016 Plan.

On July 18, 2017, the ~~Select Inc.~~Company’s board of directors approved the First Amendment to the 2016 Plan (the ~~“Equity~~“ First Equity Plan Amendment”), which ~~clarifies~~clarified the treatment of substitute awards under the 2016 Plan (including substitute awards that may be granted in connection with the Rockwater ~~Merger~~merger which occurred on November 1, 2017) and allowed for the assumption by the Company of shares eligible under any pre-existing stockholder-approved plan of an entity acquired by the Company or its affiliate (including the Rockwater Energy Solutions Inc. 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 the Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed. The effectiveness of the First Equity Plan Amendment was subject to approval by the Company's stockholders and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the Rockwater ~~Merger. The Company’s consenting stockholders, who held~~merger. Stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock ofapproved the ~~Company, approved the~~First Equity Plan Amendment on July 18, ~~2017. The Equity Plan Amendment~~2017, and such amendment became effective on November 1, 2017 upon the consummation of the Rockwater ~~Merger.~~ merger.

On February 28, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the Second Amendment to the 2016 Plan (the “Second Equity Plan Amendment”), which increases the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan by 4,000,000 shares. The effectiveness of the Second Equity Plan Amendment was subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. Stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock approved the Second Equity Plan Amendment on May 8, 2020, and such amendment became immediately effective.

Currently, the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan, taking into account the ~~impact of the Rockwater Merger,~~Second Equity Plan Amendment, is approximately ~~9.3~~13.3 million shares. For all share-based compensation award types, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Stock option awards

Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering on April 26, 2017, the Company historically valued 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. This fair value measurement relied 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 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 utilized the Monte Carlo option pricing model to determine fair value of the options granted during 2018, which incorporates assumptions to value equity-based awards. The risk-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. The expected life of the options was based on the vesting period and term of the options awarded, which is ten years. NaN stock options were granted in 2019 or in the Current Period.

Performance Share Units (PSUs)

During 2018 and 2019, the Company approved grants of performance share units (“PSUs”) that are subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting provisions. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to a recipient upon vesting of the PSU will be calculated based on performance against certain metrics that relate to the Company’s return on asset performance over the January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 performance periods, respectively.

The target number of shares of 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. 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, 2021 for the 2018 PSU grants, and June 30, 2022 for the 2019 PSU grants, assuming the minimum performance metrics are achieved. The target PSUs that become earned PSUs during the performance period will be determined in accordance with the following table:


Return on Assets at Performance Period End Date		Percentage of Target PSUs Earned
Less than 9.6%		0%
9.6%		50%
12%		100%
14.4%		175%

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 ~~grant date~~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.

Table of Contents

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, but only if the Company’s Average Return on Assets is equal to or greater than 5% during the performance period:


Ranking Among Peer Group		Percentage of Target Amount Earned
Outside of Top 10		0%
Top 10		50%
Top 7		100%
Top 3		175%

The target PSUs that become earned in connection with the adjusted FCF performance percentage will be determined (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) in accordance with the following table:


Adjusted FCF Performance Percentage		Percentage of Target Amount Earned
Less than 70%		0%
70%		50%
100%		100%
130%		175%

The fair value ofon the date the PSUs were granted during 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $4.4 million, $7.0 million and $5.9 million, ~~and the grant fair value of PSUs granted during the Current Period was $7.0 million.~~respectively. Compensation expense related to the PSUs is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such awards that, based on the Company’s estimate, are probable to vest by the measurement-date (i.e., the last day of each reporting period date) fair value and recognized using the accelerated attribution method. During the Current Period, the Company revised the estimates for the PSUs granted in 2018 and 2019 and expected to vest to 0%. The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.2 million, compensation expense of $0.1 million, ~~$0.1 million, $1.8~~a reduction to compensation expense of $2.0 million and ~~$0.7~~compensation expense of $1.8 million related to the PSUs for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the ~~fair value of outstanding PSUs issued was $8.9 million. The~~ unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested PSUs is estimated to be ~~$5.4~~$2.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~1.6 years~~2.3 years. However, this compensation cost will be adjusted as ~~of September 30, 2019.~~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~~were subject to both market-based and service-based vesting provisions. These awards ~~will vest~~vested after a two-year service period and, if earned, would have settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. The ultimate amount earned iswas based on the achievement of the market metrics, which iswas 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 iswas forfeited. The target amount that ~~becomes~~became earned during the performance period ~~will be~~was determined in accordance with the following table:

At least $20.00, but less than $25.00		100%
$25.00 or greater		200%

The stock price at vesting date ~~equals~~equaled the greater of (i) the fair market value of a share of the Class A Common Stock on the vesting date, or (ii) the volume ~~weighted average~~weighted-average closing price of a share of the Class A Common Stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, for the 30 trading days preceding the vesting date.

The target amount of stock-settled incentive awards granted was $3.9 million. However, the ultimate settlement of the awards ~~will be~~was in shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the earned amount, which could ~~range~~have ranged from 0% to 200% of the target amount depending on the stock price at vesting date. The earned amount was 0% and 0 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued.

Compensation expense associated with the stock-settled incentive awards iswas recognized ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The fair value of the stock-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 based 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 stock compensation expense related to stock-settled incentive awards of $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million ~~and $0.2 million related to~~in the ~~stock-settled incentive awards for the Current Quarter,~~ Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested stock-settled incentive awards is estimated to be $0.4 million and is expected to be recognized over approximately eight months as of September 30, 2019.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

~~We have~~The Company has 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 12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to measure assets and liabilities in a business combination or assess impairment and abandonment 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.

ASC 820 establishes a three-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-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 0 transfers into, or out of, the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 or the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, ~~2019.~~2020:

See Note 3 – Impairments and Other Costs, for a discussion of the impairment to goodwill, trademark and property and equipment presented in the table above.

Other fair value considerations

The carrying values of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade, short-term investments and accounts payable, approximate their fair value as of September 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of bank debt as of December 31, 2018 approximated fair value due to variable market rates of interest. The fair value of bank debt as of December 31, 2018, which is a Level 3 measurement, was estimated based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, when quoted market prices are not available. The Company did not have any ~~bank~~ debt

as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

Nonmonetary transaction:During the Current Quarter, the Company had a nonmonetary exchange with a customer whereby the customer settled a $1.6 million accounts receivable balance using its restricted common stock, warrants and other privately traded securities. The ~~Affirm goodwill impairment~~Company elected the fair value option with the value of the restricted stock and warrants derived from quoted active market pricing of unrestricted, publicly traded, common stock and warrants and the value of the other privately traded securities was derived from a correlation with observable market data. The Company recorded a $0.2 million unrealized gain on the nonmonetary exchange based on the ~~Company’s estimate~~value of the equity at September 30, 2020 recognized within other expense, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company expects the registration statement registering the restricted common stock, warrants and other privately traded securities received to be declared effective in either the fourth quarter of 2020 or first quarter of 2021, and can sell the common stock and related securities once registered. The $1.8 million of common stock and related securities was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 of fair value based on the expected proceeds to sell the remaining property and equipment utilizing Level 3 inputs. The property and equipment impairment during the Current Period was based on the expected proceeds from selling a portion of the remaining Canadian property and equipment utilizing Level 3 inputs.September 30, 2020.

NOTE 17—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Select Inc. is a leading provider of comprehensive water-management solutions to the oil and gas industry in the U.S. The Company’s services are offered through 3 reportable segments. Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the 3 reportable segments. Corporate and other expenses that do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting are reported separately as Corporate or Other.

The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the following three reportable segments:

Water Services — The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses, including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals business.

Water Infrastructure — The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s infrastructure assets, including operations associated with our water sourcing and pipeline infrastructure, our water recycling solutions and infrastructure, and our produced water gathering systems and saltwater disposal wells, primarily serving E&P companies.

Oilfield Chemicals — The Oilfield Chemicals segment develops, manufactures and provides a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing, and well completion and production services, including polymer slurries, crosslinkers, friction reducers, biocides, dry and liquid scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, buffers, breakers and other chemical technologies. This segment also provides chemicals needed by our customers to increase oil and gas production and lower production costs over the life of a well. Our Oilfield Chemicals customers are primarily pressure pumpers, but also include major integrated and independent oil and gas producers.

The results of our service lines divested during 2019, including the operations of our Affirm subsidiary, our sand hauling operations and our Canadian operations, are combined in the “Other” category.

Financial information by segment for the Current and Prior Quarter and the Current and Prior Period is as follows:

~~NOTE 17—SEGMENT INFORMATION~~

Select Inc. is an oilfield services company that provides solutions to the onshore oil and natural gas industry in the United States. The Company’s services are offered through 3 operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the 3 reportable segments. Corporate and other expenses that do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting are reported separately as Corporate or Other. Each operating segment reflects a reportable segment led by separate managers that report directly to the Company’s CODM.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company made the decision to sell and wind down certain operations within its former Wellsite Services segment, including the operations of its Affirm subsidiary, its sand hauling operations and its Canadian operations. As a result, the Company reevaluated its segment structure and changed its reportable segments to Water Services, Water Infrastructure, and Oilfield Chemicals.

~~The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the following three reportable segments:~~

~~Water Services~~ — The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, containment, water treatment and water network automation. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals business, which were previously a part of the former Wellsite Services segment.

~~Water Infrastructure~~ — The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s strategic infrastructure assets and ongoing infrastructure development projects, including operations associated with our water sourcing and pipelines, produced water gathering systems and salt water disposal wells.

~~Oilfield Chemicals~~ — The Oilfield Chemicals segment develops, manufactures and provides a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing, and well completion and production services, including polymer slurries, crosslinkers, friction reducers, biocides, dry and liquid scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, buffers, breakers and other chemical technologies. This segment also provides chemicals needed by our customers to increase oil and gas production and lower production costs over the life of a well. Our Oilfield Chemicals customers are primarily pressure pumpers, along with major integrated and independent oil and gas producers.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our ~~2018~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2020 (our “2019 Form 10-K”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors as described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking ~~Statements.”~~Statements” and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our 2019 Form 10-K and under the heading “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

This discussion relates to the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 (the “Current Quarter” and the “Current Period”, respectively) and the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018~~2019 (the “Prior Quarter” and the “Prior Period”, respectively).

Overview

In many regions of the country, there has been growing concern about the volumes of water services”. In addition, we provide testing and flowback services immediately following the well completion. In most of our areas of operations, we also provide additional complementary water-related services that supportrequired for new oil and gas well ~~completion~~completions. Working with our customers and ~~production activities, including water network automation, treatment, hauling, water recycling and disposal. We also manufacture a full suite of specialty chemicals used~~local communities, we strive to be an industry leader in the ~~fracturing~~development of cost-effective alternatives to fresh water. Specifically, we offer services that enable our E&P customers to treat and reuse produced water, ~~recycling process, and~~thereby reducing the demand for fresh water while also reducing the volumes of saltwater that must be disposed by injection. In many areas, we ~~provide chemicals needed by~~have also acquired sources of non-potable water such as brackish water or municipal or industrial effluent. We work with our customers to ~~increase~~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 gasoline and diesel exhaust emissions, increasing safety and decreasing traffic congestion in nearby communities.

Recent Developments

Significant challenges that emerged during the Current Period, and that are expected to continue, have had and will likely continue to have a negative impact on our results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in global oil demand and impacted economic growth in the U.S. as well as internationally. In response, volatility in financial markets has also significantly increased, making it more difficult for companies to access capital at a reasonable cost. As a result of these market disruptions, oilfield activity has declined significantly, and our Current Quarter and Current Period results have been negatively impacted. With continued production cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), combined with some recovery in oil demand during the Current Quarter, the average WTI price per barrel increased from $27.96 during the second quarter of 2020 to an average price of $40.89 per barrel in the Current Quarter. In conjunction with improved prices, we believe the activity levels of our customers and the demand for our services appear to have already reached their lowest points for the time being, and we began to see some activity recovery in the Current Quarter. However, we do not anticipate an immediate recovery to levels seen in the Prior Period, and can make no assurance that any further recovery will continue into the future.

Table of Contents

We believe the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have had, and will likely continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results, and such negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of the pandemic until economies, associated oil demand and resulting oilfield activity recovers. We believe global oil demand is expected to remain challenged at least until the COVID-19 pandemic can be contained, and any material increases to oil supply in the near-term could further challenge oil prices and subsequently the activity levels of our customers and the resulting demand for our services. 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 magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is also uncertain. Therefore, we cannot estimate the impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty. However, at this time, we expect a net loss for 2020. We have taken further actions to protect our balance sheet and maintain our liquidity, including significantly decreasing our operating expenses by reducing headcount, reducing salaries and director compensation, closing yard locations, idling facilities, 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 the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to keep our people safe by supporting those affected, managing work-from-home scheduling as appropriate, limiting on-site visitors, and monitoring and consistently communicating with those who are required to be at a work location, while also providing these employees with additional personal protective equipment.

Based on our current cash position, lack of bank debt, available borrowing capacity and the ongoing actions discussed above, 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 future financing that may occur.

During the Current Quarter, the average spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) (Cushing) crude oil was $40.89 versus an average price of $56.34 for the Prior Quarter. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot price during the Current Quarter was $2.00 versus an average of $2.38 for the Prior Quarter. The significant decline in oil and gas ~~production and lower production costs over the life of a well. We believe we are the only company~~prices in the ~~oilfield services~~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 decreased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as increased utilization of existing storage capacity, which has resulted in many of our E&P customers being forced to shut-in production for some time period. Much of this shut-in production has since come back online during the second quarter of 2020 and the Current Quarter.

Many of our customers have also pledged to prioritize managing their capital spending to within cash flow from operations, with some targeting reinvestment rates below 80% of their 2019 budgets, and this trend may extend beyond 2020. Consolidation among our customers’ and decreases in our customers’ capital budgeting can impact the size of our market in the near term and the resulting demand for our services. Additionally, both debt and equity capital markets do not appear favorably disposed towards raising new capital for the oil and gas industry ~~that combines full life cycle water-management services~~at this time. In light of these factors, combined with the ~~ability~~downward revisions made to ~~develop~~many of our customers’ respective annual capital budgets and ~~provide related chemical products.~~

Our operations have benefited from the investments and acquisitions we have made, and we continue to invest both in our existing business and in new infrastructure and technology. When evaluating new investment decisions, we prioritize high returns on long-lived assets where applicable. One wayfinancial outlooks, we do ~~this is through margin-enhancing~~not anticipate large incremental sums of capital ~~expenditures, which often comprises upgrading or automating equipment~~entering the market to increase margin realization from those assets. One example of this type of investment is replacing conventional water transfer pumps with automated pumps, which lowers labor costs, increases reliability and improves environmental safeguardscreate higher demand for our ~~customers. Another area~~services for the remainder of ~~focus is longer-lived infrastructure assets~~2020, which has led to decreased activity for us relative to prior year levels. Additionally, this lack of available capital in ~~areas~~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. While we see no immediate need for additional capital given our liquidity position, this difficulty in accessing capital markets may negatively impact some of our highly leveraged customers and competitors.

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 ~~will experience consistently high levels~~leading-edge lateral lengths and

Regardless of these operational trends, the ~~Oilfield Chemicals~~current environment is one of the most challenging in decades for the oilfield services industry due to the large and ~~Water Services operational teams~~sudden decline in oil demand and consequent decline in oil prices. Many operators are prioritizing decreasing their activity levels and pursuing near-term cost savings, which negatively impacts the demand and pricing for our services. While we enjoy an advantaged position relative to manage the unique relationship between water quality and frac chemistry to deliver superior water treatment and chemical additive solutions to our customers. We have executed these acquisitions and investments within the context of a steadily improving balance sheet.

Table of our divested service lines that were previously a part of our former Wellsite Services segment including the operations of our Affirm subsidiary, our sand hauling operations and our Canadian operations are combined in the “Other” category. As of September 30, 2019, these operations have ceased, and we do not expect regular recurring revenue going forward from this segment.Contents

How We Generate Revenue

We currently generate ~~most~~the majority of our revenue through our water-management services associated with hydraulic fracturing, provided through our Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments. ~~We generate the~~The majority of ~~our~~this revenue is realized through customer agreements with fixed pricing terms and ~~earn revenue~~is recognized when delivery of services is provided, 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

We also generate revenue by providing completion, specialty chemicals and production chemicals through our Oilfield Chemicals segment. We invoice the majority of our Oilfield Chemicals customers for services provided based on the quantity of chemicals used or pursuant to short-term contracts as the customers’ 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), raw materials and water sourcing costs and fuel costs. Our fixed costs are relatively low. Most of the costs of serving our customers 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 $44.8 million, $116.7 million, ~~$140.4 million, $375.7~~$193.0 million and ~~$408.4~~$375.7 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. The majority of our recurring labor costs are variable and are incurred only while we are providing our operational services. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our assets, which is not directly tied to our level of business activity. Additionally, 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~~Period 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 incur significant vehicle and equipment costs in connection with the operation of our business, including depreciation, ~~repair~~repairs and maintenance, rental and leasing costs. We incurred vehicle and equipment costs of ~~$62.1~~$33.5 million, ~~$73.6~~$62.4 million, ~~$189.7~~$122.4 million and ~~$213.4~~$191.2 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Due to current market conditions and the decreased demand for our services, we have taken significant direct action during the Current Period to reduce ongoing rental and leasing costs and will continue to evaluate further reductions to these costs in the coming quarters.

We incur significant transportation costs associated with our service lines, including fuel and freight. We incurred fuel and freight costs of $5.9 million, $20.3 million, ~~$25.9 million, $62.8~~$28.1 million and ~~$73.2~~$62.8 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Fuel prices impact our transportation costs, which affect the pricing and demand for our services and have an impact on our results of operations.

We incur raw material costs in manufacturing our chemical products, as well as for water that we source for our customers. We incurred raw material costs of $25.2 million, $71.2 million, ~~$72.8 million, $207.5~~$115.3 million and ~~$210.7~~$207.5 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

~~Industry Overview~~

During the Current Quarter, the average spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) (Cushing) crude oil was $56.33 versus an average price of $69.69 for the Prior Quarter. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot price during the Current Quarter was $2.38 versus an average of $2.93 for the Prior Quarter. The decline in oil and gas prices in the Current Quarter relative to the Prior Quarter has negatively impacted the pace of completions activity in 2019, relative to 2018. Additionally, debt and equity capital markets, especially the IPO market, do not appear favorably disposed towards the oil and gas industry at this time. In light of these factors, combined with the pending exhaustion of many of our customers’ respective annual capital budgets, we do not anticipate large incremental sums of capital potentially entering the market to create higher demand for our services for the remainder of 2019, which may lead to decreased activity for us.

While we cannot predict the future direction of oil or natural gas prices, our discussions with customers lead us to believe that current price levels support continued capital investment by our customers, over the longer term, to maintain and grow oil and gas production from U.S. onshore resources, though the pace of this investment could slow in the near-term. Additionally, the high rate of decline of U.S. onshore unconventional resources requires significant ongoing investment just to maintain production levels.

~~Table of Contents~~

Trends beyond oil and natural gas prices present both support and challenges. Our customers, generally speaking, have transitioned from a focus on production growth to a focus on free cash flow generation. While this should lead to a better capitalized industry with greater resilience to commodity price cyclicality over the longer term, this transition has negatively impacted the overall level of spending on oilfield services and equipment in the Current Quarter, and will likely constrain customer capital expenditures in 2020 as well.

While we believe leading-edge lateral lengths and proppant use are plateauing, the average operator continues to catch up to this leading edge. 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 have decreased total costs for our customers. 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. 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.

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;

Table of Contents

●

Gross Profit;

●

Gross Margins;

●

EBITDA; and

●

Adjusted EBITDA.

Revenue

We analyze our revenue and assess our performance by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal 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 ~~operating~~reportable segments to identify potential areas for improvement, as well as to determine whether ~~segments are~~segment performance is 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 and amortization expenses). We believe gross profit provides insight into profitability and true operating performance of our assets. We also compare gross profit to prior periods and across segments to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.

~~Table of Contents~~

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, ~~thus decreasing our return on capital employed,~~ 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/(loss), plus 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,~~accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense, 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 and 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.

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.~~below and those described in “—Industry Overview” above.

Table of Contents

Acquisition and Divestiture Activity

As described above, we are continuously evaluating potential ~~investments, particularly in water infrastructure and other water-related services and technology.~~investments. 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.

~~Pro Well Acquisition~~

On November 20, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Pro Well Testing and Wireline, Inc. (“Pro Well”). Our historical financial statements for periods prior to November 20, 2018, do not include the results of operations of Pro Well.

Affirm Divestitures

We sold the Affirm crane and field services businesses on February 26, 2019 and June 28, 2019, respectively. Affirm accounted for ~~$58.9~~$21.8 million of revenue during ~~2018.~~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 operations ~~which accounted for approximately $40.0 million of annual revenue during 2018. On~~and on April 1, 2019, we sold and wound down the rest of the Canadian operations. Canadian operations

Sand Hauling ~~Wind Down~~Wind-Down

During ~~the Current Period,~~2019, we wound down our sand hauling operations and sold certain of our sand hauling property and equipment. Sand hauling accounted for ~~$37.0~~$3.3 million of annual revenue during ~~2018.~~2019.

Proceeds received from Divestitures and ~~Wind Down~~Wind-Down

During ~~the Current Period,~~2019, we received ~~$30.2~~$30.1 million from divestitures and fixed asset sale activity in connection with the sale and ~~wind down~~wind-down of our Affirm subsidiary and the sand hauling and Canadian operations.

~~Impact of Industry Conditions on Our Operating Results~~

Demand for our services depends substantially on drilling, completion and production activity by E&P companies, which, in turn, depends largely upon the current and anticipated profitability of developing oil and natural gas reserves in the United States. The significant decline in oil and gas prices that began in the fourth quarter of 2014 caused a reduction in the development activities of most of our customers and their spending on our services in 2015 and 2016, which led to a reduction in the rates we were able to charge and the utilization of our assets. In 2017 and through the third quarter of 2018, our clients steadily increased their spending as compared to 2016 levels as oil prices generally recovered; however, in the fourth quarter of 2018, we experienced a pullback in spending by our customers, driven by a decline in oil prices and seasonal factors. Through 2019, customers have prioritized spending within their cash flows and capital budgets, and additional volatility or declines could result in our customers cancelling or curtailing their spending on our services. In the discussion of our operating results below, we reference the fluctuations in industry conditions in connection with certain changes in our results of operations.

Revenue

Our revenue decreased $227.7 million, or 69.2%, to $101.2 million for the Current Quarter compared to $329.0 million for the Prior Quarter. The decrease was driven by a $142.3 million decline in Water Services revenue, a $47.8 million decline in Water Infrastructure revenue and a $37.4 million decline in Oilfield Chemicals revenue. These declines were primarily due to lower demand for our services resulting from a reduction in drilling and completions activity, lower oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reduced pricing for some of our services. For the Current Quarter, our Water Services, Water Infrastructure and Oilfield Chemicals constituted 53.8%, 16.0% and 30.2% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 59.8%, 19.4% and 20.7%, respectively, for the Prior Quarter. The revenue changes by reportable segment are as follows:

The decrease was driven by $33.3 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 the Current Period. Also contributing to the decrease was a $36.7 million decline in Water Services revenue and a $1.9 million decline in Water Infrastructure revenue, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase in Oilfield Chemicals revenue as discussed below. For the Current Quarter, our Water Services, Water Infrastructure, Oilfield Chemicals and Other segments constituted 59.8%, 19.4%, 20.7% and 0.1% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 58.8%, 16.6%~~, 16.1%, and 8.5%, respectively, for the Prior Quarter.

Lease Abandonment Costs

Lease abandonment costs were ~~$0.2~~$0.7 million and ~~$1.0~~$0.2 million in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. During the Current Quarter, lease abandonment costs primarily related to leased facilities abandoned in the first half of 2020, including updated sublease expectations associated with realignment and combining operational activity on fewer leased properties. The Prior Quarter costs were primarily due to the wind-down of impaired right-of-use assets from previously abandoned ~~properties, partially offset by sublease income. The Prior Quarter costs were primarily due to excess facility capacity stemming from the Rockwater Merger.~~properties.

Revenue

Our revenue decreased ~~$151.1~~$543.7 million, or ~~13.0%~~53.5%, to ~~$1.0 billion~~$471.8 million for the Current Period compared to ~~$1.2~~$1.0 billion for the Prior Period. The decrease was driven by a $359.6 million decline in Water Services revenue, a $80.1 million decline in Water Infrastructure revenue, and a $75.1 million decline in Oilfield Chemicals revenue. These declines were primarily due to ~~$83.8~~lower demand for our services resulting from a reduction in drilling and completions activity, lower oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reduced pricing for some of our services. Also impacting the decline was $29.1 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 the Current Period. Also impacting the change was $66.3 million lower Water Services revenue and $6.4 million lower Water Infrastructure revenue, partially offset by $5.3 million higher Oilfield Chemicals revenue discussed below.2019. For the Current Period, our Water Services, Water Infrastructure, Oilfield Chemicals and Other segments constituted ~~61.0%~~55.1%, ~~16.6%~~18.9%, ~~19.5%~~26.0% and ~~2.9%~~0.0% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to ~~58.8%~~61.0%, ~~15.0~~16.6%, ~~16.5%,~~19.5% and ~~9.7%~~2.9%, respectively, for the Prior Period.

The decrease was primarily due to ~~$67.8~~a $236.0 million decline in Water Services costs, an $52.1 million decline in Water Infrastructure costs, and a $59.9 million decline in Oilfield Chemicals costs due to lower revenue discussed above. Also contributing to the decline was $30.3 million lower combined costs from ~~the combination of~~ our Affirm subsidiary, sand hauling operations and Canadian operations, all of which were divested and wound down during ~~the Current Period. Also impacting the decrease was $46.8~~2019.

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 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 non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense, 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 and 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

~~Table of Contents~~

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 the exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. One 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 “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on oil prices and the resulting sharp decline in U.S. onshore drilling and completion activity, and the uncertainty about the timing of a recovery, have already had, and will likely continue to have, a negative impact on our financial results in the coming quarters. We have taken and continue to take 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 are cash on hand, borrowing capacity under our current Credit Agreement and cash flows from 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 when appropriate, ~~return capital to shareholders.~~repurchase shares of Class A common stock in the open market. Depending on market conditions and other factors, we may also issue debt and equity securities if needed.

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~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 on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. For a discussion of the Credit Agreement, see “—Credit Agreement” below. Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe that our current cash balance, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$43.0~~$185.4 million and we had approximately ~~$208.5~~$48.0 million of available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was ~~$228.4~~$63.6 million, we had no outstanding borrowings and ~~the~~ outstanding letters of credit ~~totaled $19.9~~totaling $15.6 million. The significant reduction in our borrowing base since December 31, 2019 was primarily driven by the meaningful reductions in our accounts receivable, which represent the primary collateral for the borrowing base, during the Current Period, due to largely successful collections efforts combined with significantly reduced revenue levels. As of November ~~4, 2019,~~2, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was ~~$236.7~~$73.3 million, the outstanding letters of credit totaled~~$19.9~~ $15.6 million, and the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was ~~$216.8~~$57.7 million.

Credit Agreement

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the closing of the Rockwater ~~Merger~~merger (the “Closing”), SES Holdings and Select LLC entered into a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among SES Holdings, as parent, Select LLC, as borrower, certain of SES Holdings’ 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 Credit Agreement 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, we have the option to increase the maximum amount under the Credit Agreement by $150.0 million during the first three years following the Closing.

The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is the earlier of (a) November 1, 2022, and (b) the termination in whole of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement permits extensions of credit up to the lesser of $300.0 million and a borrowing base that is determined by calculating the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85.0% of the Eligible Billed Receivables (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus (ii) 75.0% of Eligible Unbilled Receivables (as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided that this amount will not equal more than 35.0% of the borrowing base, plus (iii) the lesser of (A) the product of 70.0% multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at such time and (B) the product of 85.0% multiplied by the Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) identified in the most recent

Acceptable Appraisal of Inventory (as defined in the Credit Agreement), multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory at such time, provided that this amount will not equal more than 30.0% of the borrowing base, minus (iv) the aggregate

~~Table of Contents~~

amount of Reserves (as defined in the 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 Credit Agreement). The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly basis pursuant to a borrowing base certificate delivered by Select LLC to the Administrative Agent.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Select LLC’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 0.5%, (ii) the one-month Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.0% 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 Select LLC’s average excess availability under the Credit Agreement. 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 Credit Agreement will bear interest at 2.00% plus the otherwise applicable interest rate.

In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts SES Holdings’ and Select LLC’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 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) 25.0% 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’ 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) 20.0% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $30.0 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement generally permits Select LLC to make distributions to allow Select Inc. to make payments required under the existing Tax Receivable Agreements.

The 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 Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) $15.0 million and continuing through and including the first day after such time that availability under the Credit Agreement has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% 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.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 the COVID-19 pandemic; the supply of and demand for oil and gas; current prices as 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 current production; ~~the discovery rates~~discoveries 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 in~~Sustained low oil and gas prices ~~would~~have affected, and will likely continue to affect, oil and gas drilling and completion activity and therefore, ~~affect~~ demand for our services. ~~A material decline in~~Sustained 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 are currently experiencing 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

As of September 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement. As of November ~~4, 2019,~~2, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings and approximately ~~$216.8~~$57.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Interest is calculated under the terms of our Credit Agreement 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. 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 ~~are~~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) 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) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly 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, ~~2019.~~

~~Status of Previously Identified Material Weaknesses~~

Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2018 as a result of control deficiencies related to the purchase price accounting related to the Rockwater Merger and the reconciliation of fixed assets physical counts with the general ledger that constituted material weaknesses. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls with respect to the identification and substantiation of fixed assets purchased in the Rockwater Merger and to the reconciliation of our fixed assets physical counts with the general ledger.

In response to the material weaknesses described above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we implemented new internal controls which we believe will remediate the previously identified material weaknesses. We are currently testing the operating effectiveness of these new internal controls.2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~Other than noted above, there~~There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2019~~2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our 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 or we 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. Although~~matter and these discussions are ongoing. During the Current Quarter, we ~~are unable to predict~~made an initial payment of $1.2 million and at this time, we do not believe the ~~timing or outcome~~ultimate resolution of this ~~investigation, we note that~~matter will be material to the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There~~Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. We may experience additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us. Furthermore, as a result of developments occurring in the future, conditions that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect us. Any such risks, in addition to those described below and in our 2019 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, 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, relative to prior year levels, due to the ~~Risk Factors disclosed~~impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic 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 ~~2018 Form 10-K.~~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 the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 at which it sells oil and announced plans to increase production. These events, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, contributed to a sharp drop in prices for oil in the first quarter of 2020 continuing into the second quarter of 2020. In April 2020, OPEC (which includes Saudi Arabia), Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) agreed to curtail

Table of Contents

oil production by approximately 10 million barrels per day. Further, some U.S. producers chose to shut-in or choke back production on specific wells to reduce production but the impact of these cuts on the market price for oil and natural gas remains uncertain. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the average WTI spot price was $40.89, versus an average price of $56.33 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. While oil prices have improved since their lows in April 2020, closing at $40.05 on September 30, 2020, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impacts to oil demand will result in continued uncertainty around the near-term price of oil.

If oil and gas prices remain at current levels or continue to decline, our customers may further 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 lead to lower demand for our services and may cause lower rates and lower utilization of our assets. For example, multiple leading international and national oil companies, as well as public and private independent oil and gas producers, have reduced 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. Any of these conditions or events could adversely affect our operating results, and they currently are doing so. 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 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;

●

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 pandemic;

●

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 the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The global or national outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may cause disruptions to our business and operational plans, which may include (i) shortages of qualified employees in a given area, (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 pandemic 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 the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed our corporate offices and restricted all non-critical personnel to work remotely for a period of time, 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 the COVID-19 pandemic 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. Additionally, a significant majority of states as well as local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, "stay-at-home" orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions, and the perception that such orders or restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, among other effects.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and related restrictions on travel and general mobility, 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 experienced the negative impacts of such disruption since March 2020.
