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

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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

The Company’s fleets consist of all-electric, mobile hydraulic fracturing unitswell stimulation equipment and other auxiliary heavy equipment to perform fracturingstimulation services. The Company has two designs for hydraulic fracturing units: (1) Conventional Fleets, which are powered by diesel fuel and utilize traditional internal combustion engines, transmissions, and radiators and (2)Company's Clean Fleet®, which replaceswell stimulation fleets replace the traditional engines, transmissions, and radiators used in conventional diesel fleets with electric motors powered by electricity generated by natural gas-fueled turbine generators. Both designs utilizeThe Company utilizes high-pressure hydraulic fracturingwell stimulation pumps mounted on trailers. The Companytrailers and refers to the group of pump trailers and other equipment necessary to perform a typical fracturing job as a “fleet” and the personnel assigned to each fleet as a “crew”.In May 2021, the Company announced its commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, the Company ceased operations of its last active conventional diesel fleet, marking its exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Amended Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 17, 2021.

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

RestatementReverse Stock Split

At the annual meeting of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On April 12,the Company’s stockholders held on May 14, 2021, the StaffCompany’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within a specified range. On September 30, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-3.5 reverse split of its Class A common stock. All owners of record as of September 30, 2021 received one issued and outstanding share of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on AccountingCompany’s Class A common stock in exchange for three and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilitiesone half outstanding shares of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each reporting period in earningsCompany’s Class A common stock. No fractional shares of Class A common stock were issued as opposed to being treated as equity.

As a result of the SEC Staff Statementreverse stock split. Any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lightlieu of evolving views asfractional shares. The reverse stock split had no impact on the number of shares of Class A common stock the Company is authorized to certain provisions commonly included in warrants issued by SPACs, we re-evaluatedissue pursuant to its certificate of incorporation or on the accounting for our warrants (as described in “Note 8 – Warrant Liabilities”par value per share of the Class A common stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and “Note 11 – Mezzanine Equity”) under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company historically accounted for the warrants, as equity based onwell as the initial evaluations of the accounting treatment for the warrantsapplicable exercise price. All share and believed its positions to be appropriate at those times. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company determined that the warrants should be classified as liabilities measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changesper share information included in fair value reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations each reporting period. Accordingly, the Company filed an Amended Annual Report to amend and restate its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and for the interim periods within the years ended


December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q contains our restated consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020.reverse stock split.

U.S. WELL SERVICES, INC.

Notes to theUnaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included

(in Part II, Item 8 of the Amended Annual Report for additional information about the restatement.  thousands, except shares and per share amounts, or where otherwise noted)

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Significant estimates included in these financial statements primarily relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and valuation of property and equipment and intangiblelong-lived assets, impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets, Level 2 inputs used inestimates of fair value estimation of warrant liabilities, term loans,loan, and convertible senior notes, and the assumptions used in our Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo option pricing models associated with the valuation of warrant liabilities, share-based compensation and certain equity instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements, or are reserved for a specific purpose, and not readily available for immediate or general use are recorded in restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet represents cash transferred into a trust account to support our workers’ compensation obligations and cash held for use in approved capital expenditures amounting to $513of $729 and $6,$6, respectively, as of March 31,September 30, 2021, and $513$513 and $1,056,$1,056, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory consists of proppant, chemicals, and other consumable materials and supplies used in our high-pressure hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out cost basis. All inventories are purchased for use by the Company in the delivery of its services with no inventory being sold separately to outside parties. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly and write-downs for obsolete inventory are recorded based on our forecast of the inventory item demand in the near future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $2.4 million of reserves for losses on inventory obsolescence primarily related to conventional diesel parts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded write-downs of $1.5 million related to obsolete inventory parts. As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had established inventory reserves of $0.4$1.3 million and $0.3$0.3 million, respectively, for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.


Property and Equipment

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

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

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

In the first quarter of 2020, our review of impairment of long-lived assets necessitated a review of the useful lives of our property and equipment. Current trends in hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping equipment operating conditions, such as increasing treating pressures and higher pumping rates, along with the increase in daily pumping time are shortening the useful life of certain critical components we use. We determined that the average useful life of fluid ends and fuel injectors is nowwas less than one year, resultingwhich resulted in our determination that costs associated with the replacement of these components willwould no longer be capitalized, but instead expensed as they are used in operations. This change in accounting estimate was made effective in March 2020 and accounted for prospectively.

Assets Held for Sale

GoodwillAssets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less expected selling costs (“estimated selling price”) with a loss recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated selling price. The classification is applicable at the date upon which the sale of assets is probable and the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition. Upon determining that an asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and reports the assets, if material, in assets held for sale in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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

Goodwill

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

As of December 31 of each year, or as required, the Company performs an impairment analysis of goodwill. The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether conditions exist that indicate it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, and if such conditions are identified, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. The Company may also elect to perform a single step quantitative analysis in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value, which the Company estimates using a guideline public company method, a form of the market approach. The guideline public company method utilizes the trading multiples of similarly traded public companies as they relate to the Company’s operating metrics. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and only limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Warrant Liabilities

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

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

Convertible Notes and Convertible Preferred Stock

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

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

If the convertible note contains a BCF, the amount of the proceeds allocated to the BCF reduces the balance of the convertible note, creating a discount which is amortized over the note’s term to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Level 1–inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3–inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

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

Senior Secured Term Loan. The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan is $196.9$160.7 million and $198.0$198.0 million as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.respectively, based on the market price quoted from external sources. If the Senior Secured Term Loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

Convertible Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes is $96.8 million, based on an option pricing framework using a lattice model. If the Convertible Senior Notes were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

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

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, typically measured by the number of stages completed or the number of pumping days a fleet is available to pump for a customer in a month. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, and the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice has been determined. A portion of the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved.

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

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

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

Accounts Receivable

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

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment of Claim Agreement (the “Assignment”) with a third-party, whereby the Company transferred to the third-party all right, title, and interest in the Company’s claim in the amount of $14.5 million in connection with a customer’s bankruptcy. The Assignment was for consideration of $2.5 million, which the Company received on April 26, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company wrote-off accounts receivable amounting to $12.0the related receivables of $12.0 million, which was the unrealized amount of the claim assigned and was previously reserved for in full as of December 31, 2020. See “Note 17 – Subsequent Events”As of September 30, 2021, the Company did 0t record an allowance for more information.doubtful accounts.

Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk

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

Income Taxes

The Company, under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaN amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31,September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Senior Secured Term Loan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABL Credit Facility

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

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

The ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base which is calculated based on a formula referencing the Company’s eligible accounts receivables. As of March 31,On September 30, 2021, the borrowing base was $50.0$39.2 million and the outstanding revolver loan balance was $35.9$22.3 million, classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan

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

USDA Loan

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

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). As of March 31,September 30, 2021, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued $136.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 16.0% Convertible Senior Secured (Third Lien) PIK Notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), in a private placement to institutional investors (the “Private Placement”), comprised of Cash Notes, Exchange Notes (collectively with the Cash Notes, the “Equity Linked Notes”) and a License Linked Note, as described below, which mature on June 5, 2026. The Convertible Senior Notes are secured by a third priority security interest in the collateral that secures the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan.

Equity Linked Notes. In June 2021 and July 2021, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued and sold $75.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that are convertible at any time at the holder’s option, into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for cash (the “Cash Notes”). The conversion prices of the Cash Notes range from $3.43 to $4.38, subject to adjustment.

In June 2021, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued and sold $39.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that are convertible at any time at the holder’s option, into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in exchange for 30,390 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock (the “Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes are convertible at a conversion price of $7.00 subject to adjustment.

License Linked Note. On June 24, 2021, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued and sold a Convertible Senior Note in the principal amount of $22.5 million that was convertible into a patent license agreement (the “License Linked Note”). On June 29, 2021, the holder exercised its right to convert the License Linked Note in full and the Company entered into the License Agreement, which provides the licensee a five-year option to purchase up to 20 licenses to build and operate electric well stimulation fleets using the Company’s patented Clean Fleet® technology (the “licenses”). Upon entry into the License Agreement, the holder purchased 3 licenses to build and operate 3 electric well stimulation fleets, each valued at $7.5 million. The Company recognized the $22.5 million as other income from patent license sales in its condensed consolidated statement of operations. The debt issuance costs associated with the License Linked Note were fully amortized.

The carrying value of the Convertible Senior Notes is as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received $97.5 million in cash proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes to pay the cash settlement amount in accordance with the Settlement Agreement (as described in “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies”) and expects to use the remainder for general corporate purposes, including growth capital.

The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 16.0% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest is calculated on the last day of each quarter, commencing September 30, 2021, and will be paid in kind (“PIK”) on such date by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Senior Notes. The Company has accrued PIK interest of $4.8 million related to the Convertible Senior Notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

U.S. WELL SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Each Equity Linked Note, subject to earlier conversion, is due and payable on June 5, 2026 in shares of Class A common stock equal to the entire outstanding and unpaid principal balance, plus any PIK interest, subject to certain limitations on the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued and which would require the Company to settle the conversion in payment partially in cash. The number of shares of Class A common stock will be based on the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock immediately preceding the maturity date. The Equity Linked Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the principal amount of such notes then outstanding plus PIK interest through the conversion date divided by the then applicable conversion price as described above. If the Company experiences an event of default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), which is continuing on the maturity date, then payment of principal and PIK interest shall be made in cash on any outstanding Equity Linked Notes.

Additionally, following the first anniversary of the Note Purchase Agreement, and at any time in which there are 0 issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock or Series B preferred stock, if the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock is greater than $7.00 for 10 trading days during any 20 consecutive trading day period, the Company may deliver a notice to the holder of an Equity Linked Note to convert such Equity Linked Notes at the conversion prices set forth above.

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

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

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

The Company accountedaccounts for the Pool A AwardAwards under liability accounting as a result of the fixed monetary amount that could be settled either in cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Pool A Award became fully vested as of January 1, 2021. Since the settlement will not occur until the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the Company consideredconsiders the delayed settlement as a post-vesting restriction which impactedwould impact the determination of grant-date fair value of the award.

In 2020, the Company granted Pool A Awards which fully vested on January 1, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted Pool A Awards that will fully vest on January 1, 2022. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Pool A Award liability wasAwards liabilities were remeasured to $2,414,$2.9 million and $3.4 million for the 2020 and 2021 Pool A Awards, respectively, which was estimated using a risk-adjusted discount rate reflecting the weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital of similarly traded public companies.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded additional compensation cost of $0.1 million, which was the change in fair value of the Pool A Award liability.

Pool B Performance Award (“Pool B Award”)

On January 1, 2021, one-third of the fair value of the Pool B Award vested in the amount of $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2021, the unvested fair value of the Pool B Award was $2.2 million.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to Pool B AwardA Awards was $2.0$4.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.754.58 years.

Pool B Performance Awards

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

NOTE 1516 – INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the CARESCoronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (as amended, the “CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act contains several corporate income tax provisions, including, among other things, providing a 5-year carryback of net operating loss (“NOL”) tax carryforwards generated in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, removing the 80%80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs if carried back to prior tax years or utilized in tax years beginning before 2021, temporarily liberalizing the interest deductions rules under Section 163(j) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and making corporate alternative minimum tax credits immediately refundable. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company filed an application to carry back its 2018 NOLs, claiming a refund of approximately $0.8$0.8 million, which remains outstanding as of March 31,was received during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was (0.00)(0.06)%.

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

We have considered our exposure under the standard at both the federal and state tax levels. We did 0t0t record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of March 31,September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. We record income tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense. We did not incur any material interest or penalties on income taxes.

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


NOTE 1617 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

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

The Company was named a defendant in a case filed on January 14, 2019 in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware styled Smart Sand, Inc. v. U.S. Well Services LLC, C.A. 19C-01-144 PRW. On June 1, 2021, the court ruled against the Company in the case on the breach of contract claim and subsequently, on June 17, 2021, entered judgement in favor of Smart Sand alleges thatin the amount of approximately $51.0 million. On June 28, 2021, the Company breachedentered into a multi-year contract under whichSettlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Smart Sand, supplied frac sandInc. (“Smart Sand”), pursuant to which the Company and Smart Sand reached a settlement of all matters in dispute. Pursuant to the Company.Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $35.0 million in cash and to provide Smart Sand certain rights of first refusal related to the supply of proppant for a period of two years (the “Settlement”). The parties to the Settlement Agreement also released each other from claims damagesarising from or related to the Smart Sand litigation or the final judgment of approximately $54 million. the court. As of September 30, 2021, the Company paid $35.0 million to Smart Sand and the settlement expense was reflected as litigation settlement on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

These factors include geological, operating and economic factors and decliningchanges in prices and market conditions, including reducedchanges in expected or realized oil and gas prices (including the significant decline in oil prices since the beginning of 2020) and demand for oilfield services and changes in supply or demand for maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and service; the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions; our ability to obtain financing, raise capital and continue as a going concern; our ability to implement our internal growth and acquisition growth strategies; general economic and business conditions specific to our primary customers; our ability to collect accounts receivable; compliance with our debt agreements and equity-related securities; volatility in market prices; our ability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq with respect to our Class A common stock and warrants or to cure any continued listing standard deficiency with respect thereto; changes in government regulations; our ability to effectively integrate businesses we may acquire; new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; availability of materials and labor; inability to obtain or delay in obtaining government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as natural disasters, catastrophes and severe weather conditions, including floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; public health crises, such as a pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic;pandemic and new and potentially more contagious variants of COVID-19, such as the delta variant; acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; and cyber-attacks adversely affecting our operation. This Report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. There can be no assurance that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences also include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC, including under "Risk Factors" in this Report and in our Amended Annual Report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We provide high-pressure, hydraulic fracturingpressure pumping services in oil and natural gas basins. Both our conventional andOur Clean Fleet® hydraulic fracturing well stimulation fleets are among the most reliable and highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to meet the most demanding pressure and pump rate requirements. We operate in many of the active shale and unconventional oil and natural gas basins of the United States and our clients benefit from the performance and reliability of our equipment and personnel. Specifically, all of our fleets operate on a 24-hour basis and have the ability to withstand high utilization rates, which results in more efficient operations. Our senior management team has extensive industry experience providing pressure pumping services to exploration and production companies across North America.


Restatement

This Item 2 gives effect In May 2021, we announced our commitment to the restatementbecoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, we ceased operations of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as more fully described in Note 2 inlast active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the Notes toconventional diesel pressure pumping market. As a result of this strategic transition, we are the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.only publicly-traded, pure-play electric completions services provider.

How the Company Generates Revenue

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

Our Costs of Conducting Business

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

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

Significant Trends

In May 2021, we announced our commitment to becoming an all-electric pressure pumping services provider and in August 2021, we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet, marking our exit from the conventional diesel pressure pumping market. As a result, we have been executing on our plan to sell our diesel pressure pumping equipment. The global healthproceeds received from these sales were used to reduce the outstanding balance of our Senior Secured Term Loan and economic crisis sparked bypay applicable prepayment penalties. Additionally, we expect the COVID-19 pandemiccorresponding reduction of average active fleets to have a short-term significant impact on our results of operations as we ended our remaining contracts which utilize conventional diesel pressure pumping equipment in the third quarter of 2021. Specifically, we expect revenues, cost of services, and depreciation to decline entering the associated decrease in commodity prices has significantly impacted industryfourth quarter of 2021, until such time we are able to generate business activity sincefrom four new next-generation all-electric fleets, the first of which we expect to be delivered late in the first quarter of 2020. Weaker economic activity and lower demand for crude oil, driven by the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, adversely impacted our business, resulting in a reduction in our active fleet count and fleet utilization levels throughout much of 2020. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, crude oil prices began rising considerably, and averaged over $58 per barrel during the first quarter of 2021. As commodity prices have improved, demand for hydraulic fracturing services and the number of working fracturing fleets have also increased significantly.2022.

Revenue. The decreaseincrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the declinean increase in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and lower pricing levels for hydraulic fracturing services. Ourdepressed oil prices in the prior period. During the third quarter of 2021 our average active fleet count during the period decreased to 10was 6 fleets compared to 115 fleets in the prior comparable period. Revenue was also affectedHowever, we expect revenue to a lesser extent bydecline in future quarters as we ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the continuing trendthird quarter of customers self-sourcing lower margin consumables such as sand, chemicals, and sand transportation. We expect the trend of customers self-sourcing consumables to continue, resulting in lower revenues from consumables as compared to prior periods in which we provided these consumables to customers.  2021.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. The decreaseincrease in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the declineincrease in business activity and a reduction in consumables costs due to increased customer self-sourcing.economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the prior period. During the third quarter of 2021, we experienced elevated variable costs for labor, repair and maintenance, trucking and equipment rentals, and also incurred approximately $5.5 million of expenses related to our exit from the diesel pressure pumping market and extra third-party labor to supplement staff out on COVID quarantine. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we recognized $1.0 million in share-based compensation expense related to share-based awards granted in the quarter. Due to a vesting start date of January 1, 2021 for some of the share-based awards, $0.7 million of share-based compensation expense was attributable to the first half of 2021. Similar to revenues,revenue, we anticipateexpect cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, to remain at reduced levels mainly due to lower consumables costs compared to prior periodsdecline in whichfuture quarters as we provided these consumables to customers.ceased operations of our last active conventional diesel fleet in the third quarter of 2021.

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

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

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

32


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

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

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

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization. The increase in cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, was attributable to the increase in business activity due to economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and depressed oil prices in the prior comparable period.

We expect depreciation and amortization to decline in future quarters as we continue to execute on our plan to sell our remaining diesel pressure pumping equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to our recording of a bad debt reserve of $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to the uncertaintyeconomic downturn, which was partly offset by increases in collectabilitythe nine months ended September 30, 2021 associated with the reinstatement of billed amounts from customers weakened by the collapse in crude oil prices. Additionally, compensation and benefits costs decreased by approximately $1.3 millionsalary levels due to reduced headcountimproved economic conditions as compared to the prior period. Additionally, share-based compensation expense increased in the current period.period due to share-based awards issued in the fourth quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2021.

33


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

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

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

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

Gain on extinguishment of debt, net. During the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a gain or loss recognized. The decrease inon extinguishment of debt of $10.1 million for the forgiveness of the PPP loan and accrued interest, offset by a loss on disposalextinguishment of assets was primarily attributable todebt for the significant decrease in loss on disposal related to fluid ends, due to a change in

Beginning inunamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment fees associated with the second quarterearly repayment of 2020, fluid ends are expensed as they were used in operations, due to their shortened useful life estimate.our Senior Secured Term Loan.

Interest expense, net. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower average debt balance and lower effective interest rates compared to the prior period.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash used inprovided by (used in) operating activities primarily represents the results of operations exclusive of non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, provision for losses on accounts receivable and inventory, interest, impairment losses, losses on disposal of assets, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and share-based compensation and the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.0$20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to a litigation settlement of $35.0 million and $3.0 million of working capital payments from proceeds under our USDA Loan, which was partly offset by improvement in collection of our receivables.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to accelerated collections of accounts receivables, which was offset in part by interest payments related to our Senior Secured Term Loan during the first quarter of 2021 due to redeployment of fracturing fleets. While the Company experienced an increase in customer activity during the second half of the quarter, the related collection of receivables is not expected until the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, we made working capital payments amounting to $3.0 million using proceeds from our USDA Loan. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to interest payments amounting to $24.3 million related to our senior secured term loan.  2020.

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

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. The most significant of

The new ERP system replaced our previous accounting system and general ledger. As a result of this implementation, the Company modified certain existing controls and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system to maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during and after the system change. We will continue to monitor the impact of this implementation on our processes and procedures, as well as the impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.RISK FACTORS.

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

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

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