C&J Energy Services Announces Third Quarter 2013
Financial and Operating Results
and Authorization of Share Repurchase Program
HOUSTON, TEXAS, October 30, 2013 – C&J Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: CJES) today reported net income of $13.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013. Net income was $20.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 and $49.3 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2013 results included an after-tax charge of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with a non-cash inventory write-down related to a decrease in the market value of certain spare parts.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $261.9 million, a 2% decrease compared to $267.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 and a 15% decrease compared to $307.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the third quarter of 2013 was $42.9 million, compared to $53.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $89.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decreases in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from the second quarter of 2013 were primarily attributable to decreased utilization in our hydraulic fracturing operations. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA declined from the third quarter of 2012 due to greater exposure to a highly competitive spot market, which resulted in lower utilization and pricing for our hydraulic fracturing services.
Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Josh Comstock commented, “Our third quarter results reflect the solid performance of our wireline and coiled tubing businesses, partially offset by unanticipated disruptions in our hydraulic fracturing operations. The overall decline in utilization quarter over quarter resulted from a highly-active customer redirecting its budget and, as a result, no longer requiring our services, as well as the postponement of several large jobs due to customer well delays.
“While our third quarter hydraulic fracturing results did not meet our expectations, we successfully strengthened certain significant customer relationships and expanded our customer base during the quarter. Entering the fourth quarter, we are encouraged by current activity levels across our asset base. Although we anticipate the typical fourth quarter seasonal slowdown, based on current demand we believe utilization of our hydraulic fracturing services will improve as we progress into 2014. Accordingly, we have committed to manufacture additional capacity to service anticipated demand as we drive the expansion of this service line.

“Our other service lines delivered strong results for the third quarter, with each increasing market share and attaining higher activity levels. Our wireline business delivered another record quarter with strong revenue and EBITDA growth, as we have continued to increase utilization through more 24 hour operations. Our coiled tubing revenue also increased quarter over quarter, due in part to strong customer demand for our larger diameter coiled tubing units. While our coiled tubing and wireline operations are also expected to experience a seasonal slowdown, we will continue to invest in these service lines as we further expand our customer base and geographic reach.
“During the third quarter our Research and Technology division significantly advanced certain ongoing objectives, continuing to identify new technologies and processes that will further enhance our current service capabilities, reduce costs and increase efficiencies. We have assembled a talented team of experienced engineers, which we believe will be instrumental to the execution of our growth strategy. Our Research and Technology division is actively evaluating opportunities to expand our product offerings and grow our business both organically and through strategic acquisitions, creating long-term value for our shareholders.
“Despite challenging market conditions over the past year, we have generated healthy cash flows and strengthened our balance sheet. During the third quarter, we repaid another $30 million of the debt incurred to fund our 2012 acquisition of Casedhole Solutions. We have built a solid platform from which to execute our growth strategy and return value to our shareholders. I am pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate $100 million of C&J shares through December 31, 2015. This stock repurchase program reflects our commitment to enhance value for our shareholders and the confidence we have in the long-term growth of C&J.”
Operational Results
Our hydraulic fracturing operations contributed $144.8 million of revenue and completed 1,476 fracturing stages during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $160.5 million of revenue and 1,577 fracturing stages for the previous quarter and $196.0 million of revenue and 1,486 fracturing stages for the same quarter last year. Revenue and stages performed decreased quarter over quarter as a result of a highly-active customer redirecting its budget and, as a result, no longer requiring our services, as well as the postponement of several large jobs due to customer well delays. The decline in stages performed from the third quarter of 2012 was due to our increased spot market exposure, which resulted in lower utilization and pricing across our fracturing fleet.
Our coiled tubing operations contributed $34.2 million of revenue and completed 979 coiled tubing jobs during the third quarter of 2013, an increase from $32.5 million of revenue and 944 coiled tubing jobs completed for the previous quarter. Coiled tubing revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $35.1 million and 935 jobs were completed. Our coiled tubing results improved quarter over quarter, in part due to the successful deployment of our larger diameter coiled tubing units. Although we performed more coiled tubing jobs in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012, revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was slightly lower due to the pricing pressures of the current environment.

Our wireline business, Casedhole Solutions, contributed $74.9 million of revenue during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $67.7 million of revenue during the prior quarter. Casedhole Solutions contributed $61.6 million of revenue to our consolidated results for the third quarter of 2012. This business has consistently generated outstanding results as we have continued to focus on high utilization customers and steadily added capacity to match the growth of our customer base and geographic footprint.
Our manufacturing business, Total Equipment, contributed $3.1 million of third-party revenue during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1.6 million for the previous quarter and $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. Revenue increased quarter over quarter as a result of coiled tubing equipment orders. Due to prevailing equipment overcapacity in the domestic onshore completion market, we do not expect third-party sales to significantly improve over the near term. However, this division continues to benefit our organization with cash flow savings from both new equipment purchases and refurbishments of existing equipment.
Our general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the third quarter of 2013 was $35.8 million, compared to $33.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. The quarterly increase was due to costs associated with the growth of our business, including vertical integration efforts across our service lines, the build-out of our research and technology capabilities and further geographic expansion. These initiatives contributed $4.4 million of additional SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2013 and $8.9 million of additional SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2013.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2013 increased to $19.2 million from $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $14.1 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2013, we had $125.0 million in borrowings outstanding, along with $0.7 million in letters of credit, under our $400 million revolving credit facility, and we currently have $125.0 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 was approximately 15% as of September 30, 2013. We have continued to generate significant cash flows that have allowed us to aggressively repay a large portion of the debt we incurred for our June 2012 purchase of Casedhole Solutions while continuing to fund our previously announced capital expenditures. Over the course of the third quarter of 2013, we repaid $30.0 million of debt.
Capital expenditures totaled $28.5 million during the third quarter of 2013, the majority of which consisted of construction and maintenance costs for our equipment. We anticipate that capital expenditures will total approximately $155.0 million for 2013. Our remaining 2013 capital expenditures primarily relate to the manufacturing of new hydraulic fracturing equipment, as well as coiled tubing and wireline equipment, which we intend to fund with cash on hand and cash flows from operations.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reported net income of $59.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, on revenues of $804.9 million, compared to net income of $151.9 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, on revenues of $825.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included an after-tax charge of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with a non-cash inventory write-down related to a decrease in the market value of certain spare parts. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included approximately $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) in transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of our wireline business, Casedhole Solutions, net of tax.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reported Adjusted EBITDA of $154.2 million compared to $265.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Capital expenditures for the period totaled $108.0 million, the majority of which was for new equipment.
Authorization of Stock Repurchase Program

| (1) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain or loss on disposal of assets, transaction costs and non-routine items including loss on early extinguishment of debt, legal settlement charges and inventory write-down. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results. |
