BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of the business : Select Energy Services, Inc. (“we,” “Select Inc.” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 21, 2016. The Company is a holding company whose sole material asset consists of a membership interest in SES Holdings, LLC (“SES Holdings”). On November 1, 2017, the Company completed the transactions in which subsidiaries of Select Inc. and SES Holdings merged with Rockwater Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Rockwater”) and Rockwater Energy Solutions, LLC (“Rockwater LLC”), respectively, in a stock-for-stock or unit-for-unit transaction (the “Rockwater Merger”). Rockwater operations described in this report describe the operations of Rockwater LLC. See Note 3 —Acquisitions for further discussion. We are a leading provider of total water management and chemical solutions to the oil and gas industry in North America. The oilfield water services market has grown rapidly over the past decade, driven by advances in drilling, completion and production technologies. Within the major unconventional onshore oil and gas plays in the United States, we believe we are a market leader in sourcing, transfer (both by permanent pipeline and temporary hose) and temporary containment of water prior to its use in drilling and completion activities associated with hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” which we collectively refer to as “pre‑frac water services.” We also provide well testing and flowback services immediately following the well completion. In most of our areas of operations, we provide additional complementary water‑related services that support oil and gas well completion and production activities including monitoring, treatment, hauling, recycling and disposal. In addition to our water-related services, we also develop and manufacture specialty chemicals used in frac-fluid systems and production chemicals used to enhance performance over the life of a well. We believe we are the only oilfield services company that provides total water solutions together with complementary chemical products and related expertise, which we believe gives us a unique competitive advantage in our industry. We also offer wellsite services that complement our total water management and chemical solutions offering. These services include equipment rental, accommodations, crane and logistics services, wellsite and pipeline construction, field and well services, sand-hauling and fluid-logistics services. In addition, we provide water transfer, fluid hauling, containment and rental services in Canada. Reorganization : On December 20, 2016, Select Inc. completed a private placement (the “Select 144A Offering”) of 16,100,000 shares of Select Inc. Class A‑1 common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A-1 Common Stock”) at an offering price of $20.00 per share. In conjunction with the Select 144A Offering, SES Holdings’ then existing Class A and Class B units were converted into a single class of common units (the “SES Holdings LLC Units”) and SES Holdings effected a 10.3583 for 1 unit split. In exchange for the contribution of all net proceeds from the Select 144A Offering to SES Holdings, SES Holdings issued 16,100,000 SES Holdings LLC Units to Select Inc., and Select Inc. became the sole managing member of SES Holdings. Select Inc. issued 38,462,541 shares of its Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), to the other member of SES Holdings, SES Legacy Holdings, LLC (“Legacy Owner Holdco”) or one share for each SES Holdings LLC Unit held by Legacy Owner Holdco. Select Inc. also acquired 3,802,972 SES Holdings LLC Units from certain legacy owners (the “Contributing Legacy Owners”) in exchange for the issuance of 3,802,972 shares of Select Inc. Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement registering such shares for resale on June 13, 2017, all shares of Class A-1 Common Stock converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Refer below for further discussion. Shareholders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters, subject to certain exceptions in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Holders of Class B Common Stock have voting rights only and are not entitled to an economic interest in Select Inc. based on their ownership of Class B Common Stock. The reorganization transactions were treated as a combination of entities under common control with assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Initial Public Offering: On April 26, 2017, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,700,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $14.00 per share. On May 10, 2017, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,305,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the IPO price of $14.00 per share. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by it, the Company received $128.5 million of the aggregate net proceeds from the IPO (including the over-allotment option). The Company contributed all of the net proceeds received by it to SES Holdings in exchange for SES Holdings LLC Units. SES Holdings used the net proceeds in the following manner: (i) $34.0 million was used to repay borrowings incurred under the Company’s Previous Credit Facility (as defined and discussed in Note 8) to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the GRR Acquisition, as described below, (ii) $7.8 million was used for the cash settlement of outstanding phantom unit awards and (iii) the remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures. Rockwater Merger: On November 1, 2017, we completed the Rockwater Merger, as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among us, SES Holdings, Raptor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary, Raptor Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SES Holdings, Rockwater and Rockwater LLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we combined with Rockwater in a stock‑for‑stock transaction in which we issued approximately 25.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock, 6.7 million shares of Select Inc. Class A-2 common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Class A‑2 Common Stock”) and 4.4 million shares of Class B Common Stock to the former holders of Rockwater common stock and a unit‑for‑unit transaction in which SES Holdings issued approximately 37.3 million common units of SES Holdings (each, an “SES Holdings LLC Unit”) to the former holders of units in Rockwater LLC (each, a “Rockwater LLC Unit”). See Note 3 — Acquisitions for further discussion. Credit Agreement : Concurrent with the Rockwater Merger, the Company entered into a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). In addition, the obligations under the Previous Credit Facility were repaid in full and the Previous Credit Facility was terminated. See Note 8—Debt for further discussion. Exchange rights : Under the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SES Holdings (the “SES Holdings LLC Agreement”), Legacy Owner Holdco and its permitted transferees have the right (an “Exchange Right”) to cause SES Holdings to acquire all or a portion of its SES Holdings LLC Units for, at SES Holdings’ election, (i) shares of Class A Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each SES Holdings LLC Unit exchanged, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value (as defined within the SES Holdings LLC Agreement) of such Class A Common Stock. Alternatively, upon the exercise of any Exchange Right, Select Inc. has the right (the “Call Right”) to acquire the tendered SES Holdings LLC Units from the exchanging unitholder for, at its election, (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock the exchanging unitholder would have received under the Exchange Right or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A Common Stock. In connection with any exchange of SES Holdings LLC Units pursuant to an Exchange Right or Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock will be cancelled. Registration rights : In December 2016, in connection with the closing of the Select 144A Offering, Select Inc. entered into a registration rights agreement with FBR Capital Markets & Co. for the benefit of the investors in the Select 144A Offering. Under this registration rights agreement, the Company agreed, at its expense, to file with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in no event later than April 30, 2017, a shelf registration statement registering for resale the 16,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class A‑1 Common Stock sold in the Select 144A Offering plus any additional shares of Class A‑1 Common Stock issued in respect thereof whether by stock dividend, stock distribution, stock split or otherwise, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable but in any event within 60 days after the closing of the IPO. The Company filed this registration statement with the SEC on April 28, 2017 and this registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. Accordingly, each share of Class A‑1 Common Stock outstanding automatically converted into a share of Class A Common Stock on a one‑for‑one basis at that time. In addition, Legacy Owner Holdco has the right, under certain circumstances, to cause the Company to register the shares of Class A Common Stock obtained pursuant to the Exchange Right. Legacy Owner Holdco exercised this right in May 2018, and the registration statement registering these shares was declared automatically effective by the SEC on May 16, 2018. Rockwater Registration Rights Agreement: In connection with the closing of the Rockwater Merger, pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2017, by and between Rockwater and Select Inc., Rockwater assigned, and Select Inc. assumed, Rockwater’s rights and obligations under that certain Registration Rights Agreement made and entered into as of February 16, 2017, between Rockwater and FBR Capital Markets & Co. (as assumed by Select Inc. pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the “Rockwater Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Rockwater Registration Rights Agreement, Select Inc. agreed, at its expense, to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement registering for resale shares of Class A Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Class A-2 Common Stock were convertible, and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable but in any event within 180 days after the initial filing of such registration statement. On January 12, 2018, the Company, pursuant to the Rockwater Registration Rights Agreement, filed with the SEC, a shelf registration statement registering for resale of 6,653,777 shares of Class A Common Stock into which certain of the outstanding shares of Class A-2 Common Stock registered under such registration statement were convertible. Pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, upon the effectiveness of this registration statement on March 29, 2018, each outstanding share of Class A-2 Common Stock converted automatically into a share of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. No shares of Class A-2 Common Stock are currently outstanding. Tax receivable agreements : In connection with the Company’s restructuring at the Select 144A Offering, Select Inc. entered into two tax receivable agreements (the “Tax Receivable Agreements”) with Legacy Owner Holdco and certain other affiliates of the then-holders of SES Holdings LLC Units (each such person and any permitted transferee thereof, a “TRA Holder” and together, the “TRA Holders”). On July 18, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved amendments to each of the Tax Receivable Agreements. See Note 12—Related-Party Transactions for further discussion. Basis of presentation : The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. This Form 10-Q relates to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (the “Current Quarter” and the “Current Period”, respectively) and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 (the “Prior Quarter” and the “Prior Period”, respectively). The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on March 19, 2018, includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. All material adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. The results for the Current Quarter and the Current Period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority‑owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For investments in subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, but where the Company exercises control, the equity held by the minority owners and their portion of net income or loss are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in entities for which the Company does not have significant control or influence are accounted for using the cost method. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has no equity method investees and one cost method investee. The Company’s investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When circumstances indicate that the fair value of its investment is less than its carrying value and the reduction in value is other than temporary, the reduction in value is recognized in earnings. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company determined that its cost method investee was no longer fully recoverable and was written down to its estimated fair value of $0.5 million. The impairment expense of $2.0 million is included in impairment of investment within the consolidated statements of operations. Reclassifications : Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s prior period consolidated financial information in order to conform to the current period presentation. These presentation changes did not impact the Company’s consolidated net income, total assets, total liabilities or total stockholders’ equity. |
