For this purpose, any statement that is not a statement of historical fact should be considered a forward-looking statement. We may use the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions to help identify forward-looking statements. We cannot assure you that our assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise and readers should not rely on the forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical.
We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to, decline in demand for our services, the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and natural gas industry, a decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices, environmental risks, regulatory changes, the inability to comply with the financial and other covenants and metrics in our Credit Facilities (as defined herein), cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (the “Annual Report”). and contained in our other SEC filings.

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 21, 2016, to become a holding corporation for Liberty Oilfield Services New HoldCo LLC (“Liberty LLC”) and its subsidiaries upon completion of a corporate reorganization (as detailed below, the(the “Corporate Reorganization”) and planned initial public offering of the Company (“IPO”). The Company has no material assets other than its ownership of units in Liberty LLC.LLC (“Liberty LLC Units”). Please refer to the Company’s 2018 Annual Report (the “Annual Report”) for additional information on the Corporate Reorganization and IPO that were completed on January 17, 2018.
Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, Liberty Oilfield Services Holdings LLC (“Liberty Holdings”) wholly owned Liberty Oilfield Services LLC (“LOS”) and LOS Acquisition CO I LLC (“ACQI” and, together with LOS, the “Predecessor”), which includes the assets and liabilities of LOS Odessa RE Investments, LLC (“Odessa”) and LOS Cibolo RE Investments, LLC (“Cibolo”). Following the Corporate Reorganization, Liberty LLC wholly owns the Predecessor. Effective March 22, 2018, the assets of ACQI were contributed into LOS and ACQI was dissolved.
The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a multi-basin provider of hydraulic fracturing services, with a focus on deploying the latest technologies in the technically demanding oil and gas reservoirs in which it operates, principally in North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming and Texas.
Corporate Reorganization
In connection with the IPO, the Company completed a series of organizational transactions, including the following:

Liberty Holdings contributed all of its assets to Liberty LLC in exchange for Liberty LLC Units (as defined below);

Liberty Holdings liquidated and distributed to its then-existing owners (the “Legacy Owners”) Liberty LLC Units pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of Liberty Holdings and the Master Reorganization Agreement dated as of January 11, 2018, by and among the Company, Liberty Holdings, Liberty LLC, and the other parties named therein (the “Master Reorganization Agreement”);

Certain of the Legacy Owners directly or indirectly contributed all or a portion of their Liberty LLC Units to the Company in exchange for 55,685,027 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and 1,258,514 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock. Subsequent to the initial exchange, 1,609,122 shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed for an aggregate price of $25.9 million, upon the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option;

the Company issued, at par, the Legacy Owners that continued to own Liberty LLC Units (the “Liberty Unit Holders”) an aggregate amount of 48,207,372 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”); and

the Company contributed the net proceeds it received from the IPO to Liberty LLC in exchange for additional Liberty LLC Units such that the Company holds a total number of Liberty LLC Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding following the IPO.
Initial Public Offering
On January 17, 2018 the Company completed its IPO of 14,640,755 shares of its Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $17.00 per share, of which 14,340,214 shares were offered by the Company and 300,541 were offered by the selling shareholder. The Company received $220.3 million net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting approximately $13.4 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and $10.1 million of other offering costs. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the selling shareholder. The Company used $25.9 million of net proceeds to redeem ownership interests in Liberty LLC from the Legacy Owners. The Company contributed the remaining net proceeds to Liberty LLC in exchange for units in Liberty LLC (the “Liberty LLC Units”). Liberty LLC used a portion of these net proceeds (i) to repay outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Predecessor’s ABL Facility (as defined herein), totaling approximately $30.1 million, (ii) to repay 35% of the Predecessor’s outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and prepayment premium under the Term Loan Facility (as defined herein), totaling approximately $62.5 million and (iii) for

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue RecognitionRecently Adopted Accounting Standards
Leases
EffectiveOn January 1, 2018,2019, the Company adopted a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606-842)Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The details, as amended by other ASUs issued since February 2016 (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC Topic 842”), using the modified retrospective transition method applied at the effective date of the significant changes to accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the new standard are set out below. The Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective method; accordingly, the comparative information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous revenue standard. The adoption ofBy electing this standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial position, reported revenue, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. 
Under the new standard, revenue recognition is based on the transfer of control, or our customer’s ability to benefit from our services and products in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services and products. In recognizing revenue for services and products, the transaction price is determined from sales orders or contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized at the completion of each fracturing stage, and in most cases the price at the end of each stage is fixed, however, in limited circumstances contracts may contain variable consideration.
Variable consideration typically may relate to discounts, price concessions and incentives. We estimate variable consideration based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive. The Company accrues revenue on an ongoing basis to reflect updated information for variable consideration as performance obligations are met.
The Company also assesses customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including historical payment experience and financial condition. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 45 days.
From time to time, the Company may require partial payment in advance from new customers to secure credit or from existing customers in order to secure additional hydraulic fracturing services. Initially, such payments are recorded in the

accompanyingoptional transition method, information prior to January 1, 2019 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period (ASC Topic 840).
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, including the option to carry forward the historical lease classifications and assessment of initial direct costs, account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease, and to not include leases with an initial term of less than 12 months in the lease assets and liabilities.
The adoption of ASC Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of finance lease right-of-use assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities for finance and operating leases. As of January 1, 2019, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of finance lease assets of $57.2 million, including $2.1 million and $2.0 million reclassified from prepaid and other current assets and other assets, respectively, and finance lease liabilities of $53.2 million. Additionally, the Company recorded operating lease assets of $64.0 million, including $1.9 million reclassified from prepaid and other current assets, and operating lease liabilities of $63.6 million, including $1.5 million reclassified from accrued interest and other liabilities as of January 1, 2019. There was no significant impact to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as deferred revenue, and upon performance of the agreed services,income, equity or cash flows. Refer to Note 5-Leases for additional disclosures required under ASC Topic 842.
For leases entered into after January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes revenue consistent withdetermines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluates identified leases for operating or finance lease treatment. Operating or finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its revenue recognition policy described above.

Revenue Recognition

The new fleet commenced services in December 2017, andASC Topic 842, the Company appliesdetermined that certain of its service revenue contracts contain a lease component. The Company elected to adopt a practical expedient available to lessors, which allows the prepayment inCompany to combine the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component is accordance with the customer agreement as services are performed. Duringaccounting treatment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,predominant component. Therefore, the Company recognized $2.9 millioncombines the lease and $5.4 millionservice component for certain of the prepayment to revenue, respectively.
Fleet Start-up Costs
The Company incurs start-up costs to commission a new fleet or district. These costs include hiringCompany’s service contracts and training of personnel, and acquisition of consumable parts and tools. Start-up costs are expensed as incurred, and are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the combined statement of operations. Start-up costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $3.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively, related to one and three new fleets deployed during each respective period. Start-up costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $4.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, related to four and six new fleets deployed during each respective period. The total amount of start-up costs incurred for the commissioning of each new fleet depends primarily on the number and timing of hiring additional personnel to staff such fleets, and such costs may not be entirely incurred in the same period as the fleet is deployed.
The terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities, defined herein, between the Company and its lenders provides for the add-back of costs or expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, deployment and opening of any new hydraulic fracturing fleet or district in the computation of certain financial covenants. (See Note 5).
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This ASU sets forth a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to describe the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, as no adjustment was necessary. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s reported revenue, net income or cash flows.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance on eight different issues, intended to reduce diversity in practice on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which requires entities to recognize the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers in the period in which the transfer takes place, with the exception of inventory transfers. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to increase clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the existing accounting guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entitycontinues to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following conditions are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting

conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 is applied prospectively. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.component under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a purchase financed by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less may be accounted for similarly to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements as the Company has certain operating and real property lease arrangements for which it is the lessee. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with a modified-retrospective approach to be used for implementation. ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Specifically, this new guidance requires using a forward looking, expected loss model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. This will replace the currently used model and may result in an earlier recognition of allowance for losses. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

Following is a description of the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility.
ABL Facility
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, up to $250.0 million may be borrowed, subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the borrowing base was calculated to be $235.4$234.2 million, and the Company had no borrowings outstanding, except for a letter of credit in the amount of $0.3 million, with $235.1$233.9 million of remaining availability. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate, plus an applicable LIBOR margin of 1.5% to 2.0% or base rate margin of 0.5% to 1.0%, as defined in the ABL Facility credit agreement. The unused commitment is subject to an unused commitment fee ofis 0.375% to 0.5%. Interest and fees are payable in arrears at the end of each month, or, in the case of LIBOR loans, at the end of each interest period.average monthly unused commitment. The ABL Facility matures on the earlier of (i) September 19, 2022 and (ii) to the extent the debt under the Term Loan Facility remains outstanding, 90 days prior to the final maturity of the Term Loan Facility, which matures on September 19, 2022.

Facility are collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, and further secured by the Company, Liberty LLC and R/C IV Non-U.S. LOS Corp., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, as parent guarantors.
Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility provides for a $175.0 million term loan, of which $113.0$111.3 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2018. Amounts outstanding bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate, plus an applicable margin of 7.625% or 6.625%, respectively, and the weighted average2019. The rate on borrowingsborrowing was 9.7%10.0% as of June 30, 2018.2019. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments of 1% per annum of the initial principal balance, commencing on December 31, 2017, with final payment due at maturity on September 19, 2022. The Term Loan Facility is collateralized by the fixed assets of LOS and its subsidiaries, and is further secured by the Company, Liberty LLC and R/C IV Non-U.S. LOS Corp., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, as parent guarantors.
The Credit Facilities include certain non-financial covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on incurring additional debt and certain distributions. Moreover, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt and to make distributions is dependent on maintaining a maximum leverage ratio. The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory prepayments upon certain dispositions of property or issuance of other indebtedness, as defined, and annually a percentage of excess cash flow (25% to 50%, depending on leverage ratio, of consolidated net income less capital expenditures and other permitted payments, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2018). Certain mandatory prepayments and optional prepayments are subject

The Credit Facilities are not subject to financial covenants unless liquidity, as defined in the respective credit agreements, drops below a specified level. Under the ABL Facility, the Company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility, of 1.0 to 1.0 for each period if excess availability is less than 10% of the borrowing base or $12.5 million, whichever is greater. Under the Term Loan Facility, the Company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of 1.2 to 1.0 for each trailing twelve-month period if the Company’s liquidity, as defined, is less than $25.0 million for at least five consecutive business days.

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. These fair value measurements

maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company discloses the fair values of its assets and liabilities according to the quality of valuation inputs under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.
The classification of an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value. Those that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived from unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall fair value, or if corroborating market data becomes available. Assets and liabilities that are initially reported as Level 2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if corroborating market data is no longer available. Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, long-term debt, and capitalfinance and operating lease obligations. These financial instruments do not require disclosure by level. The carrying values of all the Company’s financial instruments included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets approximated or equaled their fair values at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable (including accrued liabilities) approximated fair value at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, due to their short-term nature.
The carrying value of amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates approximated fair value at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, as the effective interest rates approximated market rates.
Nonfinancial assets
The Company estimates fair value to perform impairment tests as required on long-lived assets. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon internally developed cash flow models and would generally be classified within Level 3 in the event that such assets were required to be measured and recorded at fair value within the combined financial statements. There were no such measurements required as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

LLC Interest Issuance
Prior to the IPO and Corporate Reorganization, as described in Note 1, Liberty Holdings issued membership interests to investors in exchange for cash consideration. Total member contributions as of December 31, 2017 were $275.7 million, net of commitment and issuance fees. On January 17, 2018, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization, these membership interests were exchanged for Liberty LLC Units. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the Corporate Reorganization.
Unit-Based Compensation
Prior to the IPO and Corporate Reorganization, Liberty Holdings issued Class B units of Liberty Holdings (“Legacy Units”) to certain eligible employees of the Company. The Legacy Units were non-voting, except with respect to such matters that units are entitled to vote as a matter of law. In such cases, each Legacy Unit entitled the holder to 1/1000th of one vote. Certain Legacy Units granted to eligible participants had an assigned benchmark value and were subject to vesting in accordance with the terms of each award letter. Upon termination of the holder’s employment for any reason, Liberty Holdings had the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the recipient those vested Legacy Units at fair value.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity-based Legacy Units issued to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and each award’s requisite service period. With the assistance from a third-party valuation expert, the Predecessor determined that the Legacy Units issued to employees were deemed to have a de minimis grant-date fair value based on their assigned benchmark values. In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, the unvested Legacy Units were exchanged for 1,258,514 shares of restricted stock with the same terms and requisite vesting conditions as the Legacy Units.

There was no change in the classification of the awards, and the fair value of the awards was the same immediately before and after the exchange. As such, in accordance with ASU 2017-07, modification accounting was not applicable, and the restricted stock awards continue to be recognized at the grant date fair value of the Legacy Units.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are awards of Class A Common Stock that are subject to restrictions on transfer and to a risk of forfeitures if the award recipient is no longer an employee or director of the Company for any reason prior to the lapse of the restrictions.

Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and our Annual Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

Overview
We are a growing independent provider of hydraulic fracturing services to onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies in North America. We have grown from one active hydraulic fracturing fleet in December 2011 to 2223 active fleets in August 2018. The demand for our hydraulic fracturing services exceeds our current capacity, and we expect, based on discussions with customers, to deploy one additionalas of June 30, 2019, including the addition of the latest fleet as well as add additional horsepower to existing fleets, during the fourth quarter of 2018, and add one additional fleet during the first quarter of 2019, for a total of 24 active fleets, representing approximately 1,170,000 hydraulic horsepower, including additional supporting horsepower. We added three fleets during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to bring our total active fleets to 22 as of June 30, 2018. Average active fleets during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 20.4 and 13.1, respectively, and 21.3 and 14.5 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Average active fleets is calculated as our daily average of active fleets for the relevant period. Our additional fleets are currently being built to our specifications.2019. We provide our services primarily in the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale, the DJ Basin, the Williston Basin and the Powder River Basin.
We believe the following characteristics both distinguish us from our competitors and are the foundations of our business: forming ongoing partnerships of trust and innovation with our customers; developing and utilizing technology to maximize well performance; and promoting a people-centered culture focused on our employees, customers and suppliers. We have developed strong relationships with our customers by investing significant time in fracture design collaboration, which substantially enhances their production economics. Our technological innovations have become even more critical as E&P companies have increased the completion complexity and fracture intensity of horizontal wells. We are proactive in developing innovative solutions to industry challenges, including developing: (i) our proprietary databases of U.S. unconventional wells to which we apply our proprietary multi-variable statistical analysis technologies to provide differential insight into fracture design optimization; (ii) our Liberty Quiet FleetFleet® design which significantly reduces noise levels compared to conventional hydraulic fracturing fleets; and (iii) our hydraulic fracturing fluid systemsystems tailored to the specific reservoir properties in the DJ Basinbasins in which materially reduces completion costs without compromising production.we operate. We foster a people-centered culture built around honoring our commitments to customers, partnering with our suppliers and hiring, training and retaining people that we believe to be the best talent in our field, enabling us to be one of the safest and most efficient hydraulic fracturing companies in the United States.
Recent Trends and Outlook
Demand for our hydraulic fracturing services is predominantly influenced by the level of drilling and completion by E&P companies, which, in turn, depends largely on the current and anticipated profitability of developing oil and natural gas reserves. More specifically, demand for our hydraulic fracturing services is driven by the completion of hydraulic fracturing stages in unconventional wells, which, in turn, is driven by several factors including rig count, well count, service intensity and the timing and style of well completions.
Macro Conditions
In the second quarter of 2018,2019, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil averaged $68.02$59.88 compared with an average of $62.91$54.82 for the first quarter of 20182019 and an average of $48.14$68.02 for the second quarter of 2017. This has led to an increase in our customer activity levels, which is commonly measured by the active rig count.2018. In the second quarter of 2018,2019, the horizontal rig count in North America averaged 911868 compared to 831919 in the first quarter of 20182019 and 747 for911 in the second quarter of 2017,2018, according to a report by Baker Hughes, a GE company.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use a variety of qualitative, operational and financial metrics to assess our performance. First and foremost of these is a qualitative assessment of customer satisfaction because ensuring we are a valuable partner to our customers is the key to achieving our quantitative business metrics. Among other measures, management considers each of the following:
Revenue;
Operating Income (Loss);
Net Income;
Net Income per Share;
EBITDA;
Adjusted EBITDA;
Net Income Before Income Taxes; and
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAEarnings per Average Active Fleet.Share.
Revenue
We analyze our revenue by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections for a given period and to prior periods to assess our performance. We also assess our revenue in relation to the number of fleets we have deployed (revenue per average active fleet) from period to period.
Operating Income (Loss)
We analyze our operating income, (loss), which we define as revenues less direct operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses, to measure our financial performance. We believe operating income is a meaningful metric because it provides insight on profitability and true operating performance based on the historical cost basis of our assets. We also compare operating income to our internal projections for a given period and to prior periods.
EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA per Average Active Fleet
We view EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA per Average Active Fleet as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as new fleet or new basin start-up costs, costs of asset acquisition, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, asset impairment charges, bad debt reserves, and non-recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing operating performance. Average Active Fleets is calculated as the daily average of the number of active fleets for the period presented. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA per Average Active Fleet is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA annualized, divided by the Average Active Fleets for the same period. See “—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” 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.

Operating Income
We realized operating income of $114.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $41.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to the increased number of hydraulic fracturing fleets deployed and the higher revenue per average active fleet in response to increased demand for our services described above. Generally, our financial results have improved significantly due to the increased drilling and completion activity by E&P companies during the recovery of the oil and gas industry beginning in the third quarter of 2016.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense of $1.0 million, or 41.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to $1.7 million of deferred financing costs written off in connection with the pay down of 35% of the term loan and $0.9 million prepayment penalty assessed in connection with the pay down offset by a $0.8 million decrease in related party interest expense and a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense due to the lower average borrowings outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
Net Income before Tax Expense
We realized net income before tax expense of $110.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $39.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to our expanded scope of operations following the deployment of six additional hydraulic fracturing fleets during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018.
Income Tax Expense
Our operations are taxed at a combined U.S. federal and state effective tax rate of 13.9%. As a pass-through entity prior to the IPO, our Predecessor was subject only to the Texas margin tax at a statutory rate of 1.0% and was not subject to U.S. federal income tax. We recognized $15.9 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0 recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was attributable to our status as a corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as a net increase in operating income, the components of which are discussed above.

Revenue
Our revenue decreased $85.9 million, or 13.7%, to $542.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $628.1 million for three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was due to a 20.1% decrease in revenue per average active fleet, partially offset by an 8.0% increase in average active fleets deployed. Our revenue per average active fleet decreased to approximately $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to approximately $29.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, with 23.0 and 21.3 average active fleets deployed during those respective periods. The decrease in revenue per average active fleet is due to the oversupply of staffed frac fleets combined with reduced demand from lower customer activity industrywide, resulting in lower prices for our services.
Cost of Services
Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased $29.0 million, or 6.4%, to $426.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $455.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The lower expense is due to a decrease in materials pricing and reflects a $48.4 million decrease attributable to materials, despite a 3.4% increase in material volumes used in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Unit prices for materials have come down with increased use of lower cost local sand. Personnel costs increased by $6.5 million, or 8.3%, to support the increased activity, including the 8.0% increase in average active fleets deployed. Additionally, the cost of components used in our repairs and maintenance operations increased by $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.3 million, or 12.2%, to $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in start-up costs, which decreased 87.7% from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as no fleets were placed in service during the current year period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9.8 million, or 31.9%, to $40.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, due to one additional hydraulic fracturing fleet being deployed, and $2.6 million of depreciation related to the addition of finance leases in accordance with ASU 2016-02 Leases Topic 842 during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Operating Income
We realized operating income of $51.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $114.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of 55.2%. The decrease is primarily due to the $85.9 million, or 13.7%, decrease in total revenue, partially offset by a $22.9 million decrease in total operating expenses, components of which are discussed above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was consistent between periods, decreasing slightly by $0.1 million, or 1.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Net Income before Income Taxes
We realized net income before tax expense of $47.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $110.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net income before income taxes is primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue, as discussed above, related to the decrease in pricing, offset by the deployment of one additional hydraulic fracturing fleet during the twelve months ended June 30, 2019.
Income Tax Expense
As a pass-through entity prior to the IPO, the Predecessor was subject only to the Texas margin tax at a statutory rate of 1.0% and was not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Subsequent to the IPO, the pre-tax net income attributable to the Company is taxed at a combined U.S. federal and state tax rate of approximately 23.0%, while no tax is provided for the results attributable to the noncontrolling interests which remains pass through income. We recognized $7.1 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, at an effective rate of 15.0%, compared to $15.9 million, at an effective rate of 13.9%,

The decrease was due to a 13.4% decrease in revenue per average active fleet, partially offset by a 10.8% increase in average active fleets deployed. Our revenue per average active fleet decreased to approximately $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to approximately $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, with 22.6 and 20.4 average active fleets deployed during those respective periods. The decrease in revenue per average active fleet is due to the oversupply of staffed frac fleets combined with reduced demand from lower customer activity industrywide, resulting in lower prices for our services.
Cost of Services
Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased $23.4 million, or 2.8%, to $855.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $832.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The higher expense is due to a $30.0 million increase in repairs and maintenance costs primarily related to the increased pump hours in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Personnel costs also increased by $17.3 million, or 11.4%, to support the increased activity, including the 10.8% increase in average active fleets deployed. These increases were offset by a decrease in material costs of $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, despite a 17.1% increase in material volumes used in the respective periods. Unit prices for materials have come down with increased use of lower cost local sand.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 5.9%, to $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a $5.1 million decrease in start-up costs, which decreased 77.9% from $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was offset by an increase in personnel and benefits related to a $3.3 million increase in stock based compensation expense.

The decrease in interest expense of $2.3 million, or 22.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in debt issuance cost amortization of $1.8 million, related to the $61.1 million paydown on the Term Loan Facility during the first quarter of 2018 with proceeds from the IPO, an increase of $1.1 million of interest income, offset by an increase in interest expense related to finance leases of $1.4 million.
Net Income before Income Taxes
We realized net income before tax expense of $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $172.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net income before income taxes is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue and increase in total operating expenses, as discussed above.
Income Tax Expense
As a pass-through entity prior to the IPO, the Predecessor was subject only to the Texas margin tax at a statutory rate of 1.0% and was not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Subsequent to the IPO, the pre-tax net income attributable to the Company is taxed at a combined U.S. federal and state tax rate of approximately 23.0%, while no tax is provided for the results attributable to the noncontrolling interests which remains pass through income. We recognized $13.1 million of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $24.0 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was attributable to the net decrease in operating income, the components of which are discussed above.
Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as new fleet or new basin start-up costs, costs of asset acquisitions, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, asset impairment charges, bad debt reserves and non-recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.
Our board of directors, management, investors and lenders 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 other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. 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. Additionally, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA complies with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, and other provisions ofas defined in our Credit Facilities. See “—Debt Agreements.”
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You 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.
The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
OurHistorically, our primary sources of liquidity prior to the IPO weredate have been cash flows from operations, capital contributionsproceeds from our ownersIPO and borrowings under our Credit Facilities. We expect to fund operations and organic growth with cash flows from operations. We may incur additional indebtedness or issue equity securities in order to fund growth opportunities that we pursue via acquisition. Our primary uses of capital have been capital expenditures to support organic growth and funding ongoing operations, including maintenance and fleet upgrades.
Cash and cash equivalents increaseddecreased by $67.0$70.8 million to $83.3$32.5 million as of June 30, 20182019 compared to $16.3$103.3 million as of December 31, 2017,2018, primarily attributable to net proceeds from the IPO. Going forward, we intend to financetiming of customer payments and services provided, as accounts receivable and unbilled revenue increased $94.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively. As a result of the majorityincreased balances in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the cash balance is lower as of our capital expenditures, contractual obligationsJune 30, 2019 until wells are completed and working capital needs with proceeds from the IPObilled, and operating cash flows.outstanding balances are paid. We believe that our operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Credit Facilities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes Between the Six Months Ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018
Operating Activities.

The $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $63.6 million increasedecrease in cash from operating activities was primarily attributable to a $524.1$45.9 million increasedecrease in revenues offset byand a $364.9$15.3 million increase in cash based operating expenses, as well as an increaseoffset by a reduction of $30.3 million in funds used to satisfy working capital obligations.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $130.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $137.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018,2018. The Company deployed one fleet and purchased additional spare and pump down equipment to add to existing fleets in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $204.9three fleets deployed in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Capital expenditures, including amounts in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, were $128.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 20182019, compared to $198.7 million for the six months end June 30, 2017. The $67.0 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of Titan Frac Services LLC and other Texas real estate properties during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities wasof $95.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $148.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.2018.

ABL Facility
The Company’s ABL Facility provides for a line of credit up to $250.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the borrowing base was calculated to be $235.4$234.2 million, withand the Company had no amounts drawn and anborrowings outstanding, except for letter of credit forin the amount of $0.3 million, leaving $235.1with $233.9 million of availability.

Income Taxes
The Company is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax on its share of Liberty LLC’s taxable income. As a result of the IPO and Corporate Reorganization, the Company recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities for the difference between the book value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those amounts applicable for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets have been recorded for tax attributes contributed to the Company as part of the reorganization. Deferred tax liabilities of $28.6 million have been recorded in connection with the Liberty LLC Units acquired through the Corporate Reorganization.
The effective combined U.S. federal and state income tax rate applicable to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 15.0%, compared to 13.9% for the period ended June 30, 2018 was 13.9%.commencing on January 17, 2018, the date of the Corporate Reorganization. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the statutory federal tax rate of 21.0% primarily because no taxes are payable by the Company for the noncontrolling interest’s share of Liberty LLC’s pass through results for federal, state and local income tax reporting. The Company’s effective tax rate is higher for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, due to our status as a corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax for the entire six month period ended

June 30, 2019, as opposed to the shortened taxable period ended June 30, 2018, and due to various unitholders exercising their redemption rights, which increases the Companys proportionate share of operating income. As a pass-through entity prior to the IPO, the Predecessor was subject only to the Texas margin tax at a statutory rate of 1.0% and was not subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company recognized income tax expense of $24.0$13.1 million forduring the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $24.0 million during the shortened taxable period ended June 30, 2018.
Tax Receivable Agreements
In connection with the IPO, on January 17, 2018, the Company entered into the TRAs with the TRA Holders. The TRAs generally provide for the payment by the Company of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the IPO as a result, as applicable to each TRA Holder, of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of the Company’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’sHolders’ Liberty LLC Units in connection with the IPO or pursuant to the exercise of the Redemption Rightredemption or the Company’s Call Right,call rights, (ii) any net operating losses available to the Company as a result of the Corporate Reorganization, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments the Company makes under the TRAs.
With respect to obligations the Company expects to incur under the TRAs (except in cases where the Company elects to terminate the TRAs early, the TRAs are terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, or other changes of control or the Company has available cash but fails to make payments when due), generally the Company may elect to defer payments due under the TRAs if the Company does not have available cash to satisfy its payment obligations under the TRAs or if its contractual obligations limit its ability to make such payments. Any such deferred payments under the TRAs generally will accrue interest. In certain cases, payments under the TRAs may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRAs. The Company accounts for amounts payable under the TRAs in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingent Consideration.Contingencies.
If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined under the TRAs) or the TRAs otherwise terminate early, the Company’s obligations under the TRAs could have a substantial negative impact on its liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations or changes of control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreements.TRAs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 12 to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in the Annual Report). We believe that some of our accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others. As of December 31, 2017,2018, our critical accounting policies included leases, revenue recognition, estimating the recoverability of accounts receivable, inventory valuation, accounting for income taxes and accounting for long-lived assets, accounting for derivative instruments, and accounting for abnormally low production levels.assets. These critical accounting policies are discussed more fully in the Annual Report. 
Effective January 1, 2018,2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606-Revenue from Contracts with Customers (seeASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (see Note 12 to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements included in this Form 10-Q)Quarterly Report). There have been no other changes in our evaluation of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2017.2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2018.2019. The evaluation included certain internal control areas in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018,2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of all possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
