C&J Energy Services Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Diluted EPS of $0.91 on Revenues of $308 Million

HOUSTON, TEXAS, October 31, 2012 – C&J Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: CJES) today reported net income of $49.3 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $46.3 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $53.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted share.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $307.8 million, an increase of 34% compared to $229.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 and up 11% compared to $278.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue from the prior year quarter was attributable to our newly acquired wireline business, Casedhole Solutions, as well as the addition of hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment. The increase in revenue from the second quarter of 2012 was primarily the result of a full quarter impact from Casedhole and an uptick in revenue from our coiled tubing operations, partially offset by a decline in revenue from hydraulic fracturing services.

Adjusted EBITDA (defined as total earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and one-time items including loss on early extinguishment of debt, transaction costs and net gain or loss on disposal of assets) for the third quarter of 2012 was $89.1 million, compared to $81.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $92.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and reconciled to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, in the accompanying financial table at the end of this release.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Josh Comstock commented, “We are pleased to have achieved another solid quarter despite a challenging operating environment. We encountered further pricing pressure in hydraulic fracturing as a result of excess equipment capacity coupled with a slight U.S. onshore rig count decline, which we believe is largely attributable to customer budget constraints. Our margins remained healthy due to our operating efficiencies, despite pricing pressure. Our increased spot market exposure allowed us to demonstrate our superior operating model to a diverse new customer base, although at very competitive rates, impacting our revenue per horsepower and utilization figures quarter over quarter. We plan to maintain our competitive position and higher margin levels by leading with superior service and best-in-class efficiency. We are confident that our core strengths are well-aligned with the industry’s long term shift toward more complex unconventional wells that utilize advanced completion methods. We intend to grow our market share through service differentiation and efficiency rather than resorting to a lowest price bidding strategy.

“Our coiled tubing operations experienced improvement quarter over quarter as equipment was more effectively utilized with the redeployment of assets into the Eagle Ford and Bakken shale plays. We also gained market share and attained higher utilization levels in West Texas, further establishing our coiled tubing presence in this recent area of expansion.

“Furthermore, our acquisition of Casedhole has significantly expanded our geographic reach and customer base. Casedhole’s well-established marketing team has been a key part of our cross-selling strategy as we capitalize on our unique position as an independent provider of best-in-class completion services that can be packaged without losing quality or efficiency. Our ability to deliver this level of performance across multiple service lines is an important point of differentiation when bidding against larger competitors. Additionally, Casedhole has helped to facilitate the accelerated expansion of our coiled tubing and fracturing services into the Bakken. Over the third quarter, Casedhole also grew its customer base for both wireline and pump down services in liquids and oil-rich basins.”

Operational Results

Hydraulic fracturing contributed $196.0 million of revenue, and we completed 1,486 fracturing stages during the third quarter of 2012, compared to $216.4 million of revenue and 1,667 fracturing stages for the previous quarter and $191.8 million of revenue and 1,065 fracturing stages for the same quarter last year. We averaged monthly revenue per unit of horsepower of $270 during the third quarter, down from $307 in the previous quarter and $407 in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease in average revenue per horsepower quarter over quarter was primarily due to the previously mentioned decline in utilization and pricing in connection with the increased supply of equipment in oily basins and a slight decrease in the average U.S. onshore rig count.

We have taken delivery of our eighth hydraulic fracturing fleet and expect to deploy it into Western Oklahoma during the latter part of the fourth quarter. Our ninth fleet will be delivered in the first quarter of 2013 and is being winterized in preparation for deployment into the Bakken. The addition and deployment of these two fleets will bring our total horsepower capacity to just over 300,000 and increase our market share in oil-rich shale plays.

Our coiled tubing operations contributed $35.1 million of revenue and completed 935 coiled tubing jobs during the third quarter of 2012, compared to $31.1 million of revenue and 866 coiled tubing jobs for the previous quarter. Coiled tubing revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $25.6 million and 877 jobs were completed. Revenue and jobs were up quarter over quarter, primarily as a result of the previously mentioned redeployment of assets from gas-focused areas and greater utilization in West Texas. We expect to take delivery of six additional coiled tubing units between the fourth quarter of 2012 and early 2013 for deployment in new basins.

Our wireline operations contributed $61.6 million of revenue and completed approximately 8,600 runs during the third quarter of 2012. In the prior quarter, wireline revenue was $15.1 million with approximately 2,700 runs completed during the 23 days of June 2012 following our acquisition of Casedhole. This service line generated strong results, and we expect it to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently have a fleet of 58 wireline units and 15 pumpdown units and plan to add seven new wireline units by the first quarter of 2013.

Our equipment manufacturing business contributed $11.2 million of third party revenue during the third quarter of 2012, consistent with last quarter, and $6.4 million of revenues for the third quarter of 2011. While our equipment manufacturing business maintained solid performance for the quarter, we anticipate less third party demand in the fourth quarter given current market conditions.

Our general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $30.2 million, up from $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. The quarter over quarter increase is primarily attributable to the Casedhole acquisition as Casedhole has a large sales force and sizable engineering staff, which we believe are instrumental in supporting the growth of our customer base and maintaining strong performance.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2012 increased to $14.1 million from $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to the addition of equipment and the acquisition of Casedhole.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2012, we had $200 million outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility and we currently have $190 million in borrowings outstanding. The facility matures in April 2016 and our current cost of borrowings is less than 3%. Our debt to total capitalization is approximately 27%.

Capital expenditures totaled $58.0 million during the third quarter of 2012, the majority of which was expended for the growth of our business lines. We expect to invest a total of approximately $165 million to $175 million in 2012, of which $146.7 million has been incurred as of October 31, 2012. Our 2012 capital expenditures to date have consisted of construction costs for new hydraulic fracturing equipment, coiled tubing units and wireline units, together with routine capital expenditures. We anticipate funding our remaining 2012 capital expenditures with cash on hand and operating cash flow in excess of our working capital requirements.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we reported net income of $151.9 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, on revenues of $825.2 million, compared to net income of $108.6 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, on revenues of $538.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included approximately $0.6 million in transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Casedhole, net of tax ($0.01 per diluted share). The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included approximately $4.9 million in loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of tax ($0.10 per diluted share).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we reported Adjusted EBITDA of $265.8 million compared to $199.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Capital expenditures for the period totaled $135.9 million, which was primarily used for the growth of our business lines.
