PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Eco-Stim Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”) by the prescribed filing date because the Company needs additional time to complete its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company needs additional time to ensure accuracy of its 2018 financial information, to complete the required discussion and analysis of the business and to finalize the conclusions regarding the assessment of internal control. This has resulted in the Company being unable to file its 2018 Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company anticipates that it will file the Annual Report no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

See disclosure under Part III above.
The Company expects to report a consolidated net loss of approximately $73 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $26.9 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The primary drivers of the consolidated net loss were the decrease in revenues and reduction of the Company’s operations during the fourth quarter of 2018. As discussed in our previous filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company elected to suspend its U.S. stimulation operations and significantly reduce the U.S. workforce in September 2018 and subsequent to the third quarter of 2018, the Company did not provide any services to its primary customer in Argentina and did not generate any revenue from its Argentina operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The financial information set forth herein consists of unaudited results, which will not be audited until the Company files its 2018 Form 10-K. In addition, the statements included in this Form 12b-25 regarding our financial performance and results of operations, in each case as expected to be reported, expected filing date of the 2018 Form 10-K, and other statements that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include the results and finalization of the Company’s financial statements, audit and reviews, and those described under Risk Factors in our most recent Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
