Note 1—Organization, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in Texas in 1997. Through its subsidiaries, the Company operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and other well stimulation services through its Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and cased-hole wireline and other complementary services through its Wireline Services segment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. In addition, the Company manufactures, refurbishes and repairs equipment and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry through its Equipment Manufacturing segment, and also fulfills the Company’s internal equipment demands through this segment. See “Note 6 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments. As used herein, references to the “Company” or “C&J” are to C&J Energy Services, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Account
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers and are ordinarily due upon receipt. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future.
Inventories
Inventories for the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and the Wireline Services segment consist of finished goods and raw materials, including equipment components, chemicals, proppants, and supplies and materials for the segments’ operations. Inventories for the Equipment Manufacturing segment consist of raw materials and work-in-process, including equipment components and supplies and materials. See “Note 6 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis and appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition
All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is complete or the equipment has been delivered to the customer, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, as follows:
Hydraulic Fracturing Revenue. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. Revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is written that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals and proppants consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous consumables.
Under the Company’s term contracts, customers are typically obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services are actually used. To the extent customers use more than the specified contracted minimums, the Company will be paid a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services.

C&J ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company also performs hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to pricing agreements. Under such agreements, customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted to then-current market rates upon the agreement of both parties.
Rates for services performed on a spot market basis are based on an agreed-upon hourly spot market rate. The Company may also charge fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and materials that are consumed during the fracturing process. Generally, these fees and other charges vary depending on the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the services are performed.
Coiled Tubing Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to provide coiled tubing and other well stimulation services. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, the service performed, the personnel on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and miscellaneous consumables used throughout the course of the service. The Company typically charges the customer for these services on an hourly basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.
Revenue from Materials Consumed While Performing Services. The Company generates revenue from chemicals and proppants that are consumed while performing hydraulic fracturing services. For services performed on a spot market basis, the necessary chemicals and proppants are typically provided by the Company and the customer is billed for those materials at cost plus an agreed-upon markup. For services performed on a contractual basis, when the chemicals and proppants are provided by the Company, the customer is billed for those materials at a negotiated contractual rate. When chemicals and proppants are supplied by the customer, the Company typically charges handling fees based on the amount of chemicals and proppants used.
In addition, ancillary to coiled tubing and other well stimulation services revenue, the Company generates revenue from various fluids and supplies that are necessarily consumed during those processes.
Wireline Revenue. Wireline revenue is generated from the performance of cased-hole wireline and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services. These jobs are typically short term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized when the services and equipment are provided and the job is completed. The Company typically charges the customer on a per job basis for these services at agreed-upon spot market rates.
Equipment Manufacturing Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to construct new equipment, refurbish and repair equipment and provide oilfield parts and supplies to third-party customers in the energy services industry. Revenue is recognized and the customer is invoiced upon the completion and delivery of each order to the customer.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans provide the ability to grant equity awards to officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. As of September 30, 2013, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock had been granted under such plans. The Company values option grants based on the grant date fair value by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and values restricted stock grants based on the closing price of C&J’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements and the related accounting treatment can be found in “Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation”.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate their fair value, as the interest rates approximate market rates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“common shares”) outstanding during the applicable period and excludes shares subject to outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock.

mature on April 19, 2016. Outstanding loans bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, at the Company’s election, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA for the Company on a consolidated basis. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2013, $125.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, along with $0.7 million in letters of credit, leaving $274.3 million available for borrowing. All obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, other than immaterial subsidiaries.
The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants including financial reporting, governance and notification requirements. Among other restrictions, the Company is unable to issue dividends under the terms of the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013.
Capitalized terms used in this “Note 2 – Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” but not defined herein are defined in the Credit Facility.
Capital Lease Obligations
The Company leases certain service equipment, with the intent to purchase, under non-cancelable capital leases. The terms of these contracts range from three to four years with varying payment dates throughout each month.

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation
The C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”) provides for the grant of stock-based awards to the Company’s officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The following types of awards are available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP: incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; restricted stock units; dividend equivalent rights; phantom stock units; and share awards. To date, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock have been awarded under the 2012 LTIP. A total of 4.3 million shares of common stock were authorized and approved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP, subject to certain adjustments. Of these shares, approximately 3.1 million shares were available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP as of September 30, 2013.

C&J ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Prior to the approval of the 2012 LTIP, all stock-based awards granted to the Company’s employees were granted under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”), and prior to December 23, 2010, all stock-based awards granted to employees were granted under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan” and, together with the 2010 Plan, the “Prior Plans”). Only nonqualified stock options were awarded under the Prior Plans. Effective as of December 23, 2010 and May 29, 2012, respectively, no additional awards will be granted under the 2006 Plan and the 2010 Plan.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award granted under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Due to the Company’s lack of historical volume of option activity, the expected term of options granted is derived using the “plain vanilla” method. In addition, expected volatilities have been based on comparable public company data, with consideration given to the Company’s limited historical data. The Company makes estimates with respect to employee termination and forfeiture rates of the options within the valuation model. The risk-free rate is based on the approximate U.S. Treasury yield rate in effect at the time of grant. For options granted prior to the Company’s initial public offering, which closed on August 3, 2011, the calculation of the Company’s stock price involved the use of different valuation techniques, including a combination of an income and/or market approach. Determination of the fair value was a matter of judgment and often involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The following table presents the assumptions used in determining the fair value of option awards totaling approximately 0.1 million grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. No stock options were granted by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
| | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 |
Expected volatility | | 65% to 75% |
Expected dividends | | None |
Exercise price | | $16.88-$18.89 |
Expected term (in years) | | 6 |
Risk-free rate | | 0.9%-1.4% |
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 5.4 million options outstanding to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. Options granted under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans expire ten years from the date they are granted and generally vest over a three-year period.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock is valued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 0.7 million shares of restricted stock were granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors under the 2012 LTIP at fair market values ranging from $19.25 to $23.69 per share. During the nine months ended September, 30, 2012, approximately 0.8 million shares of restricted stock were granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors under the 2012 LTIP at fair market values ranging from $18.72 to $20.89 per share.

A restricted stock recipient may, in satisfaction of his or her obligation to pay withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of an award, elect to make a cash payment to the Company or have withheld a portion of the shares then issuable to him or her, in either case having an aggregate fair market value equal to the withholding taxes.
Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Hydraulic Fracturing Contracts
As of September 30, 2013, the Company was providing hydraulic fracturing services under one take-or-pay term contract, which is scheduled to expire in early 2014. Under this contract, the customer is obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services are actually used. To the extent the customer uses more than the specified contract minimums, the Company will be paid for the provision of such additional services based on rates stipulated in the contract. The revenue related to this contract is recognized on the earlier of the passage of time under terms set forth in the contract or as the services are performed.
Litigation
The Company is, and from time to time may be, involved in claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Because there are inherent uncertainties in the ultimate outcome of such matters, it is presently not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of any pending or potential claims or litigation against the Company; however, management believes that the outcome of those matters that are presently known to the Company will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 6—Segment Information
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280Segment Reporting, the Company routinely evaluates whether it has separate operating and reportable segments. The Company has determined that it operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. This determination is made based on the following factors: (1) the Company’s chief operating decision maker is currently managing each segment as a separate business and evaluating the performance of each segment and making resource allocation decisions distinctly and expects to do so for the foreseeable future, and (2) discrete financial information for each segment is available. The following is a brief description of the Company’s three segments:
Stimulation and Well Intervention Services. This segment has two related service lines providing hydraulic fracturing services and coiled tubing and other well stimulation services.
Wireline Services. This segment provides cased-hole wireline services and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services.
Equipment Manufacturing. This segment constructs equipment, conducts equipment repair services and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry, as well as to fulfill the internal equipment demands of the Company’s Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments.

Management evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on total 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 (“Adjusted EBITDA”), because Adjusted EBITDA is considered an important measure of each segment’s performance. In addition, management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of each segment’s operating performance allows investors to make a direct comparison to competitors, without regard to differences in capital and

financing structure. Investors should be aware, however, that there are limitations inherent in using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of overall profitability because it excludes significant expense items. An improving trend in Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of an improvement in the Company’s profitability. To compensate for the limitations in utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as an operating measure, management also uses U.S. GAAP measures of performance, including operating income and net income, to evaluate performance, but only with respect to the Company as a whole and not on a segment basis.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain statements and information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “would,” “may,” “probable,” “likely,” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are not generally historical in nature, include those that express a belief, expectation or intention regarding our future activities, plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things:
| • | | our future revenue, income and operating performance; |
| • | | our ability to sustain and improve our utilization and margins; |
| • | | our ability to enter into term contacts and/or pricing agreements at acceptable prices; |
| • | | our operating cash flows and availability of capital; |
| • | | our ability to execute our long-term growth strategy, including expansion into new geographic regions and business lines; |
| • | | the timing and success of future acquisitions and other special projects; |
| • | | our plan to continue to focus on international growth opportunities; |
| • | | future capital expenditures; and |
| • | | our ability to finance equipment, working capital and capital expenditures. |
Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, forecasts for our existing operations, experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and their effect on us, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although management believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all). Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the following:
| • | | the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas industry, including the level of exploration, production and development activity and any sustained decrease in domestic spending by the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry; |
| • | | a decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices, which tends to impact drilling activity and therefore impacts demand for our services; |
-15-
| • | | a decline in demand for our services, including due to overcapacity and other competitive factors affecting our industry; |
| • | | increased pressures on pricing due to competition and economic conditions; |
| • | | changes in customer requirements in markets or industries we serve; |
| • | | the loss of or interruption in operations by one or more key suppliers; |
| • | | unanticipated costs, delays, regulatory compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our long-term growth strategy, including those related to expansion into new geographic regions and new business lines; |
| • | | the effects of future acquisitions on our business, including our ability to successfully integrate our operations and the costs incurred in doing so; |
| • | | risks associated with business growth outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure; |
| • | | adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions; |
| • | | the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on our operations, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our hydraulic fracturing services; |
| • | | the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities resulting from our failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment; |
| • | | the loss of, or inability to attract new, key management personnel; |
| • | | the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more significant customers; |
| • | | the failure to pay amounts when due, or at all, by one or more significant customers; |
| • | | a shortage of qualified workers; |
| • | | operating hazards inherent in our industry, including the significant possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage; |
| • | | accidental damage to or malfunction of equipment; |
| • | | an increase in interest rates; |
| • | | the potential inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements as a result of reduced revenue and financial performance or our inability to raise sufficient funds through assets sales or equity issuances should we need to raise funds through such methods; and |

Our Operating Segments
Stimulation and Well Intervention Services
Our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment provides hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and other well stimulation services, with a focus on complex, technically demanding well completions.
Hydraulic Fracturing Services. Our hydraulic fracturing business currently consists of more than 300,000 total horsepower capacity. Based on current demand by new and existing customers, we have committed to manufacture additional hydraulic fracturing equipment that we expect to deploy during the first quarter of 2014.
Our hydraulic fracturing operations contributed $144.8 million, or 55%, to our consolidated 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 during the second quarter of 2013. Hydraulic fracturing revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $196.0 million and 1,486 fracturing stages were completed. Revenue and stages performed declined when compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to a highly-active customer redirecting its budget with the reduction of its onshore activity and, as a result, no longer having a need for our services, as well as the postponement of several large jobs due to customer well delays. The declines in revenue and stages performed from the third quarter of 2012 were due to our increased spot market exposure, which resulted in lower utilization and pricing for our hydraulic fracturing services. Our exposure to the spot market increased significantly over the last year with the expiration of many of our term contracts.
We provide hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to term contracts and pricing agreements or on a spot market basis. Over the last several years, we entered into multi-year take-or-pay term contracts with certain customers, generally ranging from one year to three years. Under such term contacts, our customers are typically obligated to pay us on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services are actually used. To the extent customers use more than the specified contract minimums, we will be paid a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services. Additionally, term contracts restrict the ability of the customer to terminate the contract in advance of its expiration date. Currently, we are providing hydraulic fracturing services under one term contract, which is scheduled to expire in early 2014.
In May 2013, two of our term contracts transitioned to new pricing agreements at or prior to their expiration. Under such pricing agreements, our customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted to then-current market rates upon the agreement of both parties. In August 2013, one of these two pricing agreements ended when the customer decided to refocus its budget. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we derived 34.1% of our consolidated revenue from hydraulic fracturing services performed under our term contracts and pricing agreements.
We charge prevailing market prices per hour for work performed in the spot market. We may also charge fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous consumables. Generally, these fees and other charges vary depending on the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the services are performed. We also source chemicals and proppants that are consumed during the fracturing process. We charge our customers a fee for materials consumed in the process and a handling fee for any chemicals and proppants supplied by the customer. Materials charges reflect the cost of the materials plus a markup and are based on the actual quantity of materials used in the fracturing process. Due to the flexibility of our operating model, our revenue can fluctuate without having a material impact to earnings when our customers elect to source their own consumables.

Coiled Tubing and Other Well Stimulation Services. Our coiled tubing business currently consists of 23 coiled tubing units. During the third quarter, we deployed three new extended-reach larger-diameter coiled tubing units in response to an industry trend towards such higher-specification equipment, and we also modified certain existing coiled tubing equipment to meet this demand. We have ordered one new extended-reach larger-diameter coiled tubing unit that we expect to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Our coiled tubing operations contributed $34.2 million, or 13%, to our consolidated revenue, and we completed 979 coiled tubing jobs during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $32.5 million of revenue and 944 coiled tubing jobs for the second quarter of 2013 and $35.1 million and 935 coiled tubing jobs for the third quarter of 2012. Our coiled tubing results improved in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2013, in large part due to the successful deployment of our new and modified extended-reach 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 highly competitive pricing of the current market environment.
We also perform other well stimulation services, including pumpdown services for wireline and coiled tubing operations. These other services generated $4.9 million, or 2% of our consolidated revenue, during the third quarter of 2013, compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Our coiled tubing and other well stimulation services are generally provided in the spot market at prevailing prices per hour. We may also charge fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending on the job. The setup charges and hourly rates are determined by a competitive bid process and vary with the type of service to be performed, the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the service is performed. We also charge customers for the materials, such as stimulation fluids, nitrogen and coiled tubing materials that we use in each job. Materials charges reflect the cost of the materials plus a markup and are based on the actual quantity of materials used for the project.
Wireline Services Segment
Our Wireline Services segment provides cased-hole wireline and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services, which are critical throughout a well’s lifecycle. Our Wireline Services segment currently consists of 66 wireline units and 31 pumpdown units, as well as pressure control and other ancillary equipment. We currently plan to deploy three new wireline units during the remainder of 2013.
Our Wireline Services segment contributed $74.9 million, or 29%, to our consolidated revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $67.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $61.6 million in the third quarter of 2012. Revenue from wireline operations increased compared to the second quarter of 2013 as a result of high activity levels as we grew our market share and focused on high utilization customers. Revenue from wireline operations increased compared to the third quarter of 2012 due to increased utilization rates across a larger asset base.
Services provided by this segment are generally provided at prevailing rates in the spot market on a job-by-job basis. The rates are determined by a competitive bid process and vary with the type of service to be performed, the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the service is performed.

Equipment Manufacturing Segment
Our Equipment Manufacturing segment constructs oilfield equipment, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units and wireline units, for third party customers in the energy services industry, as well as for our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments. This segment also provides equipment refurbishment and repair services and oilfield parts and supplies to the energy services industry and to our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments.
Our Equipment Manufacturing segment contributed $3.1 million, or 1%, to our consolidated revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1.6 million of revenue for the second quarter of 2013 and $11.2 million of revenue for the third quarter of 2012. Revenue increased compared to the second quarter of 2013 as a result of coiled tubing equipment orders. Our Equipment Manufacturing business has been negatively impacted by excess equipment capacity across the energy services industry and we do not expect third-party sales to significantly improve over the near term. However, this segment continues to benefit our company with cash flow savings from intercompany purchases, including new equipment purchases and refurbishments of existing equipment.
See “Note 6 – Segment Information” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our reportable segments.
General Trends and Outlook
We face many challenges and risks in the industry in which we operate. Although many factors contributing to these risks are beyond our ability to control, we continuously monitor these risks and have taken steps to mitigate them to the extent practicable. In addition, while we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on available growth opportunities, we may not be able to achieve our business objectives and, consequently, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Please read this section in conjunction with the factors described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” for additional information about the known material risks that we face.
Trends that we believe are affecting, and will continue to affect, our industry include:
Competition & Demand for Our Services.Our business depends on the capital spending programs of our customers. Revenues from our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments are generated by providing services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. The level of exploration, development and production activities by these customers also impacts demand for our Equipment Manufacturing segment’s services and products. Companies in the energy services industry have historically tended to delay capital equipment projects, including maintenance and upgrades, during industry downturns like the current one, which has been characterized by excess equipment capacity across the U.S. hydraulic fracturing market. The oil and gas industry has traditionally been volatile, is highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles and is influenced by a combination of long-term and cyclical trends, including the current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, as well as production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by exploration and production companies to their drilling and workover budgets. The volatility of the oil and gas industry, and the consequent impact on exploration and production activity, has adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely impact, the level of drilling and workover activity by our customers. This volatility affects the demand for our services and our ability to negotiate pricing at levels generating desirable margins, especially in our hydraulic fracturing business.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Our competition includes many large and small energy service companies, including the largest integrated energy services companies. The sustained price disparity between oil and natural gas on a Btu basis led to the migration of equipment from basins that are predominantly gas-related, and much of the current horizontal drilling and completion related activity is concentrated in oily- and liquids-rich formations. Commodity prices will likely continue to hamper drilling activities in natural gas shale plays over the near term. Our hydraulic fracturing operations encountered significant market pressure in the latter part of 2012, and the highly competitive environment has continued throughout 2013.
-21-
Although, we do not expect the current environment to significantly improve without a significant increase in rig count, we are confident in our ability to successfully compete in and manage through the competitive operating environment. Entering the fourth quarter of 2013 we saw an increase in activity in our hydraulic fracturing operations and although we anticipate the typical fourth quarter seasonal slowdown, based on current demand we believe that we will be able to improve utilization as we progress into 2014. In spite of the anticipated increase in demand, pricing is expected to remain flat, given the continued level of competition in the market.
Hydraulic Fracturing Legislation and Regulation. Hydraulic fracturing is an important and common practice that is used to stimulate production of natural gas and/or oil from dense subsurface rock formations. The hydraulic fracturing process involves the injection of water, sand, and chemicals under pressure into the formation to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production. The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended the Underground Injection Control (“UIC”) provisions of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA”) to exclude hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection” and thereby exclude the process from direct federal regulation under the SDWA. The hydraulic fracturing process is currently typically regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel, and has also adopted regulations requiring operators to capture rather than vent most gases that are brought to the surface during well completion activities, beginning in 2015. In addition, legislation has been introduced before Congress to provide for direct federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require public disclosure of chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. Also, many state governments have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, regulations that could impose more stringent permitting, public disclosure, well construction, and operational requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations or otherwise seek to temporarily or permanently ban fracturing activities altogether. In addition to state laws, local land use restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict or prohibit the performance of well drilling in general or hydraulic fracturing in particular.
In addition, certain governmental reviews are either underway or being proposed that focus on environmental aspects of hydraulic fracturing practices. The EPA has commenced a study of the potential environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing on water resources. The EPA’s study includes 18 separate research projects addressing topics such as water acquisition, chemical mixing, well injection, flowback and produced water, and waste water treatment and disposal. The EPA has indicated that it expects to issue its study report in late 2014. In the interim, however, the EPA has utilized existing statutory authority under the SDWA, the Clean Water Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) to investigate and pursue actions against some oil and natural gas producers where EPA believes their activities may have impacted air quality or groundwater. Moreover, the EPA is developing effluent limitations for the treatment and discharge of wastewater resulting from hydraulic fracturing activities and plans to propose these standards by 2014. On April 13, 2012, President Obama issued an executive order creating a task force to coordinate federal oversight over domestic natural gas production and hydraulic fracturing. Other governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Energy, have evaluated or are evaluating various aspects of hydraulic fracturing. These reviews and studies, depending on their results, could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing under the SDWA or other regulatory programs. Finally, the U.S. Department of Interior has proposed rules that would require oil and natural gas producers to publicly disclose their hydraulic fracturing chemicals in connection with drilling wells on federal and Indian lands and would also strengthen standards for well-bore integrity and the management of fluids that return to the surface during and after fracturing operations on federal and Indian lands.
-22-
The adoption of new laws or regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or otherwise limiting or regulating, the hydraulic fracturing process could make it more difficult to complete oil and natural gas wells in shale formations, increase our and our customers’ costs of compliance, and adversely affect the hydraulic fracturing services that we render for our exploration and production customers. In addition, if hydraulic fracturing becomes regulated at the federal level as a result of federal legislation or regulatory initiatives by the EPA, fracturing activities could become subject to additional permitting or regulatory requirements, and also to attendant permitting delays and potential increases in cost, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are driven primarily by four interrelated variables: (1) the drilling and stimulation activities of our customers, which directly affects the demand for our services; (2) the prices we are able to charge for our services; (3) the cost of products, materials and labor, and our ability to pass those costs on to our customers; and (4) our service performance. With all of our hydraulic fracturing equipment now working in the spot market or under agreements that are reflective of current market rates, the highly competitive operating and pricing environments for our services will dictate our level of profitability.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and the U.S. pressure pumping market experienced sustained pressures through the first nine months of 2013. Our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, were negatively impacted by increased spot market exposure in our hydraulic fracturing operations, which resulted in lower utilization and pricing for our services.
Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
The following table summarizes the change in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

Net income | | $ | 13,125 | | | $ | 49,266 | | | $ | (36,141 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue
Revenue decreased $45.9 million, or 15%, to $261.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $307.8 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily related to a decrease of $51.2 million in the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment due to lower utilization and pricing for our hydraulic fracturing services. Revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was also impacted by a decrease of $8.0 million in the Equipment Manufacturing segment due to lower third-party demand as a result of excess equipment capacity in the oilfield services industry. However, our revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by an increase of $13.3 million in incremental Wireline Services revenue as a result of higher activity levels across this division.
-23-
Direct Costs
Direct costs decreased $9.0 million, or 5%, to $183.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $192.3 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $11.2 million dollar decrease in the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and a $7.6 million decrease in the Equipment Manufacturing segment due to a corresponding decrease in revenue, offset by an increase of $9.8 million in the Wireline Services segment as a result of a corresponding increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs increased from 62.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 70.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to increased exposure to a highly competitive spot market in our hydraulic fracturing services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A increased $9.3 million, or 35%, to $35.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $26.5 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in SG&A was due to $6.2 million in higher payroll and personnel costs associated with the continued hiring of personnel to support the growth of our business and strategic initiatives, such as costs associated with vertical integration efforts across our service lines, the build out of our research and technology division and geographic expansion. In addition, we had $1.0 million in higher long-term and short-term incentive costs and $0.8 million in higher costs related to our facilities with the addition of new locations. During the second quarter of 2013, we completed a review of our SG&A expenses and determined that certain costs, such as insurance costs associated with personnel charged to direct labor, are more appropriately reflected in direct costs on our consolidated statements of operations. As such, reclassifications have been made to third quarter 2012 SG&A costs to conform to our third quarter 2013 presentation. The amount of the reclassification for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.7 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5.1 million, or 36%, to $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $14.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily related to $3.2 million from the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment due to the addition and deployment of new hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment and $1.4 million from the Wireline Services segment due to the addition and deployment of new wireline and pressure pumping equipment.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 17%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average outstanding debt balances period over period. This debt was incurred to fund the June 2012 acquisition of our wireline business.
Income Taxes
We recorded a tax provision of $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, at an effective rate of 40.1%, compared to a tax provision of $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, at an effective rate of 32.5%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower pre-tax book income which caused permanent differences between book and taxable income to have a higher proportionate impact on the calculation of the effective tax rate.

Revenue
Revenue decreased $20.3 million, or 2%, to $804.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $825.2 million for the same period in 2012. Our revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was positively impacted by $128.0 million in incremental Wireline Services Segment revenue as a result of the acquisition of our wireline business in June 2012, offset by a $119.3 million decrease in the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment primarily due to lower utilization and pricing for our hydraulic fracturing services, and a decrease of $29.0 million in the Equipment Manufacturing segment due to lower demand as a result of excess equipment capacity in the oilfield services industry.
Direct Costs
Direct costs increased $49.6 million, or 10%, to $550.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $501.1 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to an increase of $75.6 million in the Wireline Services segment with the acquisition of our wireline business in June 2012, partially offset by a decrease of $24.2 million in the Equipment Manufacturing segment as a result of lower third-party sales. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs increased from 60.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 68.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to increased exposure to a highly competitive spot market in our hydraulic fracturing services.
SG&A Expense
SG&A increased $42.2 million, or 72%, to $101.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $59.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was due to $16.9 million in incremental costs related to our Wireline Services segment, which we acquired in June 2012, and $14.9 million in higher payroll and personnel costs associated with the continued hiring of personnel to support the growth of our business and strategic initiatives, such as costs associated with vertical integration efforts across our service lines, the build out of our research and technology division and
-25-
geographic expansion. To a lesser extent, SG&A costs increased by $4.9 million from higher long-term and short-term incentive costs, $1.9 million in higher costs related to our facilities due to expansion, $1.5 million in higher property taxes and $1.0 million in higher professional fees. During the second quarter of 2013, we completed a review of our SG&A expenses and determined that certain costs, such as insurance costs associated with personnel charged to direct labor, are more appropriately reflected in direct costs on our consolidated statements of operations. As such, reclassifications have been made to 2012 SG&A costs to conform to our 2013 presentation. The amount of the reclassification for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $9.5 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $22.2 million, or 70%, to $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $31.5 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily related to $12.3 million from the Wireline Services segment due to the acquisition of our wireline business in June 2012 and $9.9 million from the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment due to the addition and deployment of new hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $1.7 million, or 54%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding debt balances period over period. This debt was incurred to fund the June 2012 acquisition of our wireline business.
Income Taxes
We recorded a tax provision of $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, at an effective rate of 37.1%, compared to a tax provision of $77.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, at an effective rate of 33.8%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower pre-tax book income, which caused permanent differences between book and taxable income to have a higher proportionate impact on the calculation of the effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the beginning of 2011, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and the net proceeds that we received from our IPO, which closed on August 3, 2011. Our primary uses of capital during this period were for the expansion of our operations, including the purchase and maintenance of equipment and acquisitions, including the acquisitions of our wireline and equipment manufacturing businesses. Our capital expenditures and our maintenance costs have increased substantially over the last few years to support our growth, and we expect this trend to continue over the long term as we continue to focus on expanding geographically, while actively exploring opportunities to enhance our current business and evaluating complementary service lines in an effort to further diversify our product offerings. The successful execution of our long-term growth strategy depends on our ability to raise capital as needed. 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 acquisition of our wireline business while continuing to fund our previously announced capital expenditures. We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on available opportunities and finance future growth, although sustained pressure on pricing and decreased utilization for our hydraulic fracturing services could lead to reduced capital expenditures.

Our Credit Facility (as defined and described in more detail under “Description of Our Indebtedness” and in “Note 2 – Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) provides for up to $400.0 million of revolving credit, which was increased from $200.0 million in June 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we had $125.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and $0.7 million in letters of credit, and as of November 1, 2013, we had $125.0 million outstanding along with $0.7 million in letters of credit, leaving $274.3 million available for additional borrowings at that date. Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio, to maintain a leverage ratio and to satisfy certain other conditions, as well as certain limitations on our ability to make capital expenditures on a fiscal year basis. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants.
We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financings, in order to meet our planned capital expenditures and liquidity requirements. Our ability to fund operating cash flow shortfalls, if any, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend upon our future operating performance, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our existing operating performance, we believe our cash flows from operations and existing capital, coupled with borrowings available under our Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet operational and capital expenditure needs over the next twelve months.
Capital Requirements
The energy services business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade and purchase additional equipment to meet our customers’ needs and industry demand. Capital expenditures totaled $108.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 in support of our growth strategy, including investments in new equipment, new service lines and maintenance capital for our existing service lines. Our total 2013 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $155 million based on current equipment orders, scheduled maintenance requirements and growth estimates. We increased 2013 planned capital expenditures for the addition of new hydraulic fracturing capacity, as well as new coiled tubing and wireline equipment. The decision to manufacture additional hydraulic fracturing equipment was based on a recent increase in demand for our services. Based on current demand and activity levels, we believe that utilization will improve as we move into 2014. However, we expect pricing for our services to remain flat. We intend to fund our remaining 2013 capital expenditures with cash flows from operations.
We continually monitor new advances in equipment and down-hole technology, as well as new technologies and processes that will further enhance our existing service capabilities, reduce costs and increase efficiencies. During the first nine months of 2013, we significantly enhanced our research and development capabilities through the establishment of a new research and technology division. We have assembled a team of technology-focused engineers and recently completed construction of a new research and technology facility. We will continue to invest in our research and technology capabilities as a key element of our growth strategy. We believe that these efforts will enable us to more effectively compete against larger integrated energy services companies, both domestically and internationally.
Additionally, we are actively evaluating opportunities to further expand our business and grow our geographic footprint, including through strategic acquisitions and targeted expansion, both domestically and internationally. With respect to our international expansion efforts, we are investing in the infrastructure needed to capitalize on available opportunities and support future operations. We recently opened an office in the Middle East where we are assembling a team of sales, operational and administrative personnel. We are in the process of constructing an operational facility to support our anticipated future Middle East operations. As we pursue compelling opportunities, we will continue to make capital investment decisions that we believe will support our long-term growth strategy.
-27-
We believe we are well positioned to finance our future growth. Despite the highly competitive environment, which has impacted pricing and activity levels, we have continued to generate strong cash flows. On June 5, 2012, we increased the borrowing base under our Credit Facility to $400.0 million from $200.0 million and as of November 1, 2013, $274.3 million was available for borrowing. We believe our cash flows from operations and existing capital, coupled with borrowings under our Credit Facility, if needed, will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and sustain our spending levels over the next twelve months. We plan to continue to monitor the economic environment and demand for our services and adjust our business strategy as necessary.

| | | | | | | | |
Change in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 14,215 | | | $ | (32,678 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to lower net income, offset by working capital fluctuations and an increase in depreciation and amortization.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $293.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. This decrease was due primarily to the cash paid to acquire our wireline business in 2012 and to a lesser extent a decrease in capital expenditures.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $39.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $198.8 million for the same period in 2012. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily consisted of $45.0 million to pay down a portion of the balance outstanding under the Credit Facility. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily consisted of a $220.0 million draw on the Credit Facility to partially fund the acquisition of our wireline business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, as of September 30, 2013.
Description of Our Indebtedness
Credit Facility. On April 19, 2011, we entered into a five-year $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and line of credit issuer, Comerica Bank, as line of credit issuer and syndication agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agent, and various other lenders (“Credit Facility”). Obligations
-28-
under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), other than immaterial subsidiaries. Effective June 5, 2012, we entered into Amendment No. 1 and Joinder to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) primarily to facilitate and permit us to fund a portion of the acquisition of our wireline business.
The Amendment increased our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility to $400.0 million. To effectuate this increase, new financial institutions were added to the Credit Facility as lenders and certain existing lenders severally agreed to increase their respective commitments. Pursuant to the Amendment, the aggregate amount by which we may periodically increase commitments through incremental facilities was increased from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, the sublimit for letters of credit was left unchanged at $200.0 million and the sublimit for swing line loans was increased from $15.0 million to $25.0 million. On June 7, 2012, we drew $220.0 million from the Credit Facility to fund a portion of the acquisition of our wireline business. As of September 30, 2013, we had $125.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and $0.7 million in letters of credit, and as of November 1, 2013, we had $125.0 million outstanding along with $0.7 million in letters of credit, leaving $274.3 million available for borrowing.
Loans under our Credit Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars and will mature on April 19, 2016. Outstanding loans bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans, based upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is the ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA for us and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All obligations under our Credit Facility are secured, subject to agreed-upon exceptions, by a first priority perfected security position on all real and personal property of us and the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants including financial reporting, governance and notification requirements. The Amendment made certain changes to the Credit Facility’s affirmative covenants, including the financial reporting and notification requirements, and the Credit Facility’s negative covenants, including the restriction on our ability to conduct asset sales, incur additional indebtedness, issue dividends, grant liens, issue guarantees, make investments, loans or advances and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the Amendment altered the restriction on capital expenditures to allow us to make an unlimited amount of capital expenditures so long as (i) the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) we have pro forma liquidity of greater than $40.0 million, (iii) no default exists and (iv) the capital expenditures could not reasonably be expected to cause a default. Further, in the event that these conditions are not met, we will be permitted to make capital expenditures of up to $200.0 million in any fiscal year, provided that up to $50.0 million of such amount in any fiscal year may be rolled over to the subsequent fiscal year and up to $50.0 million may be pulled forward from the subsequent fiscal year. These capital expenditure restrictions do not apply to capital expenditures financed solely with the proceeds from the issuance of qualified equity interests and asset sales or normal replacement and maintenance capital expenditures.
The Credit Facility requires us to maintain, measured on a consolidated basis, (1) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (2) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Capitalized terms used in “Description of Our Indebtedness” but not defined herein are defined in the Credit Facility.
