CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “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”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “preliminary,” “forecast,” and similar expressions or variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the heading “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:

●

the severity and duration of world health events, including the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its variants, and associated repercussions to supply and demand for oil and natural gas and the economy generally;

●

global economic distress resulting from sustained Russia-Ukraine war and related economic sanctions, which may decrease demand for oil and demand for our services or contribute to volatility in the prices for oil and natural gas;

●

actions taken by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with announced supply limitations;

●

actions taken by the Biden Administration or state governments, such as executive orders or new or expanded regulations, that may negatively impact the future production of oil and natural gas in the United States (“U.S.”) or our customers’ access to federal and state lands for oil and gas development operations, thereby reducing demand for our services in the affected areas;

●

the potential deterioration of our customers’ financial condition, including defaults resulting from actual or potential insolvencies;

●

the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas companies in response to changes in commodity prices or reduced demand;

●

the ability to source certain raw materials and other critical components or manufactured products globally on a timely basis from economically advantaged sources;

●

operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges, measures taken to protect the health and well-being of our employees, remote work arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruptions;

Table of Contents

●

any new or additional measures required by national, state or local governments to combat COVID-19, such as a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which if enacted, could reduce labor availability or add additional operational costs as we may experience constraints on our workforce and the workforce of our supply chain, which could have a negative impact on our operations;

●

the degree to which consolidation among our customers may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions;

●

trends and volatility in oil and gas prices, and our ability to manage through such volatility;

●

the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including those related to hydraulic fracturing, accessing water, disposing of wastewater, transferring produced water, interstate freshwater transfer, chemicals, carbon pricing, pipeline construction, taxation or emissions, leasing, permitting or drilling on federal lands and various other environmental matters;

●

regional impacts to our business, including our key infrastructure assets within the Bakken, the Northern Delaware portion of the Permian Basin, and the Haynesville;

●

capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a decrease in the demand for our services in our core markets;

●

regulatory and related policy actions intended by federal, state and/or local governments to reduce fossil fuel use and associated carbon emissions, or to drive the substitution of renewable forms of energy for oil and gas, may over time reduce demand for oil and gas and therefore the demand for our services;

●

growing demand for electric vehicles that may result in reduced demand for gasoline and therefore the demand for our services;

●

our ability to hire and retain key management and employees, including skilled labor;

●

our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms;

●

our health, safety and environmental performance;

●

the impact of competition on our operations;

●

the degree to which our exploration and production (“E&P”) customers may elect to operate their water-management services in-house rather than source these services from companies like us;

●

our level of indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility (as defined herein) or future debt instruments;

●

delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us or our customers;

●

constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business;

●

the impact of advances or changes in well-completion technologies or practices that result in reduced demand for our services, either on a volumetric or time basis;

Table of Contents

●

changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession;

●

acts of terrorism, war or political or civil unrest in the U.S. or elsewhere;

●

accidents, weather, natural disasters or other events affecting our business; and

●

the other risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the headings “Part I—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Part I―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and this Quarterly Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

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 common units (“SES Holdings LLC Units”) in SES Holdings, LLC (“SES Holdings”).

We are a leading provider of comprehensive water-management and chemical solutions to the oil and gas industry in the U.S. We also develop, manufacture and deliver a full suite of chemical solutions for use in oil and gas well completion operations. As a leader in the water solutions industry, we place the utmost importance on safe, environmentally responsible management of oilfield water throughout the lifecycle of a well. Additionally, we believe that responsibly managing water resources through our operations to help conserve and protect the environment in the communities in which we operate is paramount to our continued success.

Class A and Class B Common Stock: As of June 30, 2022, the Company had both Class A and Class B common shares issued and outstanding. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) are entitled to one vote per share and vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval.

Exchange rights: Under the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SES Holdings (the “SES Holdings LLC Agreement”), SES Legacy Holdings LLC (“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.

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 U.S. (“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 Quarterly Report relates to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (the “Current Quarter” and the “Current Period”, respectively) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (the “Prior Quarter” and the “Prior Period”, respectively). The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022, includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report. 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 Current Period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, in part due to the initiation of war between Russia and Ukraine, the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and large variations in oil and natural gas prices during the Current Quarter and Current Period.

Table of Contents

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All 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 or other appropriate basis as applicable. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had three equity-method investments and one cost-method investment. 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. Our investments in unconsolidated entities are summarized below and are included in the assets of our Water Services segment:

Segment reporting: The Company has three reportable segments. Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s current reportable segments are Water Services, Water Infrastructure, and Oilfield Chemicals. See “Note 16—Segment Information” for additional information.

The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses, including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals business.

The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s infrastructure assets, including operations associated with our water sourcing and pipeline infrastructure, our water recycling solutions, and our produced water gathering systems and saltwater disposal wells, as well as solids disposal facilities, primarily serving E&P companies.

The Oilfield Chemicals segment provides technical solutions and expertise related to chemical applications in the oil and gas industry. We develop, manufacture and provide a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing, pipelines and well completions. We also have significant capabilities in supplying logistics for chemical applications. Given the breadth of chemicals and application expertise we provide, our customers range from pressure pumpers to major integrated and independent oil and gas producers. This segment also utilizes its chemical experience and lab testing capabilities to customize tailored water treatment solutions designed to optimize the fracturing fluid system in conjunction with the quality of water used in well completions.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory reserve, income taxes, self-insurance liabilities, share-based compensation, contingent liabilities, lease-related reasonably certain option exercise assessments, and the incremental borrowing rate for leases. The Company bases its estimates on historical and other pertinent information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 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.

Allowance for credit losses: The Company’s allowance for credit losses relates to trade accounts receivable. The Company treats trade accounts receivable as one portfolio and records an initial allowance calculated as a percentage of revenue recognized based on a combination of historical information and future expectations. Additionally, the Company adjusts this allowance based on specific information in connection with aged receivables. Historically, most bad debt has been incurred when a customer’s financial condition significantly deteriorates, which in some cases leads to bankruptcy. Market volatility is highly uncertain and, as such, the impact on expected losses is subject to significant judgment and may cause variability in the Company’s allowance for credit losses in future periods.

The change in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:


	Six months ended June 30, 2022

Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	4,401
Increase to allowance based on a percentage of revenue		1,263

Recoveries		39
Balance as of June 30, 2022	$	5,687

Asset retirement obligations: The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to disposal facilities with obligations for plugging wells, removing surface equipment, and returning land to its pre-drilling condition. The following table describes the changes to the Company’s ARO liability for the Current Period:



	Six months ended June 30, 2022

Table of Contents

We review the adequacy of our ARO liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows underlying the liabilities have changed. The Company’s ARO liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor Income: The Company is a lessor for a nominal number of owned facilities and also recognizes income related to multiple facility subleases that are accounted for as follows:


		Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021

Lessor income	Costs of revenue	$	48	$	60	$	164	$	126
Sublease income	Lease abandonment costs and Costs of revenue		361		231		707		474

The Company also generates short-term equipment rental revenue. See “Note 4—Revenue” for a discussion of revenue recognition for the accommodations and rentals business.

Defined Contribution Plan: During 2020, due to worsening economic conditions, the Company suspended the match of its defined contribution 401(k) plan and the suspension continued into the first half of 2021. Effective July 1, 2021, the Company reinstated matching contributions of 50% of employee contributions, up to 4% of eligible earnings. The Company incurred $0.7 million, zero, $1.2 million and zero match expense in the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

Payroll Tax Deferral: In 2020, the Company took advantage of the employer payroll tax deferral provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and deferred the payment of $6.0 million of payroll taxes. Half of the deferral was paid during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the remaining balance of $3.0 million must be repaid by December 31, 2022. The remaining deferral is reported under accrued salaries and benefits on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

Severance: During the Prior Period, the Company incurred $3.2 million of severance in connection with the termination of its former chief executive officer, which was paid in full during the first quarter of 2021 and included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Nuverra Acquisition

On February 23, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“Nuverra”) for total consideration of $35.9 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock on February 23, 2022 (the “Nuverra Acquisition”). Consideration transferred consisted of 4,203,323 shares of Class A Common Stock. The acquisition strengthens Select’s geographic footprint with a unique set of water logistics and infrastructure assets, particularly in the Bakken, Haynesville and Northeast, while continuing to expand Select’s production-related revenues. Select also acquired a 60-mile underground twin pipeline network in the Haynesville Shale in Texas and Louisiana. This pipeline network is used for the collection of produced water for transport to interconnected disposal wells and the delivery or re-delivery of water from water sources to operator locations for use in well completion activities. Additionally, Nuverra operates a landfill facility in North Dakota located on a 50-acre site. The facility provides a unique opportunity for Select to expand its logistics capabilities into a new service offering. The acquisition is expected to result in a bargain purchase gain based on our preliminary evaluation, as Nuverra was experiencing financial distress and actively evaluating strategic alternatives leading up to the transaction.

The Nuverra Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company has engaged third-party valuation experts to assist in the purchase price allocation. These estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the property and equipment acquired, current assets, current liabilities and long-term liabilities have not been finalized as of June 30, 2022. The Nuverra debt, including accrued interest, totaled $18.8 million, and was repaid during the Current Period after the acquisition was completed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company’s Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments. The Company incurred $0.4 million and $3.1 million of transaction-related costs related to this acquisition in the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively, and such costs are included in selling, general and administrative within the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company assumed $1.6 million of severance liabilities in connection with the Nuverra acquisition and $0.2 million is included in accrued salaries and benefits as of June 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

HB Rentals Acquisition

On December 3, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary Peak Oilfield Services, LLC, completed the acquisition of certain assets of H.B. Rentals, L.C. (“HB Rentals”), an operating subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Superior”), for total initial consideration of $8.7 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock on December 2, 2021 (the “HB Rentals Acquisition”). Consideration transferred consisted of 1,211,375 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million in cash. The Company paid $1.1 million on April 1, 2022, representing the final working capital settlement. The Company acquired the U.S. onshore assets of HB Rentals, including working capital. This acquisition strengthens the Company’s accommodations and rentals footprint in the Permian, Haynesville, MidCon, Northeast and Rockies regions and adds revenue-producing fixed assets including a significant number of skid houses and trailer houses. The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain in part due to the seller recently emerging from bankruptcy and deciding to divest domestic assets and operations and focus on international operations.

The HB Rentals Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the property and equipment acquired, current assets, current liabilities and long-term liabilities have been finalized as of June 30, 2022. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company’s Water Services segment. The Company incurred $0.1 million of transaction-related costs related to this acquisition in the Current Period, and such costs are included in selling, general and administrative within the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Agua Libre Midstream and water-related assets from Basic Energy Services Acquisition

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Agua Libre Midstream, LLC (“Agua Libre”) and other water-related assets, operations and assumed liabilities from Basic Energy Services, Inc. (“Basic”) for total initial consideration of $21.1 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock on September 30, 2021 (the “Agua Libre and Basic Acquisition”). Consideration transferred consisted of 902,593 shares of Class A Common Stock and $16.4 million in cash. The Company acquired substantially all of the water-related assets and ongoing operations of Agua Libre and Basic, including working capital. With this acquisition, the Company has acquired a solid production services footprint in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and North Dakota, as well as more than 550,000 barrels per day of permitted disposal capacity. The acquisition is expected to result in a

Table of Contents

bargain purchase gain as the seller was distressed and decided to divest its assets and operations to multiple buyers as operations were wound down and the business was shuttered.

The Agua Libre and Basic Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company also engaged third-party valuation experts to assist in the purchase price allocation. These estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the property and equipment acquired, current assets, current liabilities and long-term liabilities have not been finalized as of June 30, 2022. The business combination accounting is preliminary due to the continuing efforts to validate the existence and condition of the property and equipment acquired. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company’s Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments. The Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.6 million of transaction-related costs related to this acquisition in the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively, and such costs are included in selling, general and administrative within the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Complete Energy Services Acquisition

On July 9, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Complete Acquisition”) of Complete Energy Services, Inc. (“Complete”), an operating subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Superior”) for initial consideration of $34.5 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock on July 9, 2021. Consideration transferred consisted of 3.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock and $14.2 million in cash. In October 2021, the Company paid $0.2 million related to the settlement of the working capital which resulted in a final purchase price of $34.7 million. The Company acquired substantially all of the water-related assets, liabilities and ongoing operations of Complete as well as Superior’s well testing operations, including working capital. Superior retained certain non-core and non-water-related assets that were part of Complete as part of the transaction. This acquisition expands the Company’s water-related services and infrastructure footprint and strengthens the geographic footprint, particularly in the Mid-Continent, Permian and Rockies. The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain in part due to the seller recently emerging from bankruptcy and deciding to divest domestic assets and operations and focus on international operations.

The Complete Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company also engaged third-party valuation experts to assist in the purchase price allocation. These estimates, judgments and assumptions and valuation of the property and equipment acquired, current

Contingent Consideration

In connection with an August 2021 business combination, the Company recorded a $1.1 million contingent earn-out liability. The maximum earn-out is $1.6 million, dependent on revenue generated in the first and second 12-month periods following the acquisition, beginning on October 1, 2021. This liability was $1.1 million as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

NOTE 4—REVENUE

The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), for most revenue recognition, which provides a five-step model for determining revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model only to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer. The accommodations and rentals revenue continues to be guided by ASC 842 – Leases, which is discussed further below.

The following factors are applicable to all three of the Company’s segments for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively:

●

The vast majority of customer agreements are short-term, lasting less than one year.

Table of Contents

●

Contracts are seldom combined together as virtually all of our customer agreements constitute separate performance obligations. Each job is typically distinct, thereby not interdependent or interrelated with other customer agreements.

●

Most contracts allow either party to terminate at any time without substantive penalties. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is unconditionally entitled to the payments for the services rendered and products delivered to date.

●

Contract terminations before the end of the agreement are rare.

●

Sales returns are rare and no sales return assets have been recognized on the balance sheet.

●

There are minimal volume discounts.

●

There are no service-type warranties.

●

There is no long-term customer financing.

In the Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments, performance obligations arise in connection with services provided to customers in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount the Company expects to collect. Services are generally sold based upon customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenues are generated by services rendered and measured based on output generated, which is usually simultaneously received and consumed by customers at their job sites. As a multi-job site organization, contract terms, including pricing for the Company’s services, are negotiated on a job site level on a per-job basis. Most jobs are completed in a short period of time, usually between one day and one month. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are completed on a daily, hourly or per unit basis with unconditional rights to consideration for services rendered reflected as accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for credit losses. In cases where a prepayment is received before the Company satisfies its performance obligations, a contract liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Final billings generally occur once all of the proper approvals are obtained. Mobilization and demobilization are factored into the pricing for services. Billings and costs related to mobilization and demobilization are not material for customer agreements that start in one period and end in another. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had eight contracts in place for these segments lasting over one year. The Company has recorded a $5.7 million contract liability associated with one of the eight long-term contracts as of June 30, 2022, of which $3.7 million is recognized in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $2.0 million is recognized in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This liability was $8.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and the Company has recognized $2.5 million in revenue during the Current Period. The Company expects this contract liability to be converted to revenue under the terms of the contract as it is earned.

Accommodations and rentals revenue is included in the Water Services segment and the Company accounts for accommodations and rentals agreements as an operating lease. The Company recognizes revenue from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. Accommodations and rental contract periods are generally daily, weekly or monthly. The average lease term is less than three months and as of June 30, 2022, there were no material rental agreements in effect lasting more than one year. During the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, approximately $17.6 million, $6.7 million, $33.2 million and $12.9 million of accommodations and rentals revenue was accounted for under ASC 842 lease guidance, with the remainder accounted for under ASC 606 revenue guidance.

In the Oilfield Chemicals segment, the typical performance obligation is to provide a specific quantity of chemicals to customers in accordance with the customer agreement in an amount the Company expects to collect. Products and services are generally sold based upon customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenue is recognized as the customer takes title to chemical products in accordance with the agreement. Products may be provided to customers in packaging or delivered to the customers’ containers through a hose. In some cases, the customer takes title to the chemicals upon consumption from storage containers on their property, where the chemicals are considered inventory until customer usage. In cases where the Company delivers

Table of Contents

products and recognizes revenue before collecting payment, the Company usually has an unconditional right to payment reflected in accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for credit losses. Customer returns are rare and immaterial and there were no material in-process customer agreements for this segment as of June 30, 2022, lasting greater than one year.

The following table sets forth certain financial information with respect to the Company’s disaggregation of revenues by geographic location:

During the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, the Company recorded net charges to the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.3 million, less than $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which were recognized within costs of revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s inventory reserve was $4.1 million and $3.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventories is determined based on the Company’s historical usage of inventory on hand, as well as future expectations and the amount necessary to reduce the cost of the inventory to its estimated net realizable value.

NOTE 8—DEBT

Sustainability-linked credit facility and revolving line of credit

On March 17, 2022 (the “Restatement Date”), SES Holdings, a subsidiary of the Company, and Select Energy Services, LLC (“Select LLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES Holdings, entered into a $270.0 million amended and restated senior secured sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (the “Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility”), by and among SES Holdings, as parent, Select LLC, as borrower, and certain of SES Holdings’ subsidiaries, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender (the “Administrative Agent”) (which amended and restated the Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2017 by and among SES Holdings, as parent, Select LLC, as borrower and certain of SES Holdings’ subsidiaries, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Prior Credit Agreement”)). Refer to “Note 10—Debt” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the Prior Credit Agreement. The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility also has a sublimit of $40.0 million for letters of credit and $27.0 million for swingline loans, respectively. Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders, Select LLC has the option to increase the maximum amount under the senior secured credit facility by $135.0 million during the first three years following the Restatement Date.

The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility permits extensions of credit up to the lesser of $270.0 million and a borrowing base that is determined by calculating the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the Eligible Billed Receivables (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility), plus (ii) 75% of Eligible Unbilled Receivables (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility), provided that this amount will not equal more than 35% of the borrowing base, plus (iii) the lesser of (A) the product of 70% multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility) at such time and (B) the product of 85% multiplied by the Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility) identified in the most recent Acceptable Appraisal of Inventory (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility), multiplied by the value of Eligible Inventory at such time, provided that this amount will not equal more than 30% of the borrowing base, minus (iv) the aggregate amount of Reserves (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility), if any, established by the Administrative Agent from time to time, including, if any, the amount of the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility). The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly basis pursuant to a borrowing base certificate delivered by Select LLC to the Administrative Agent.

Borrowings under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility bear interest, at Select LLC’s election, at either the (a) one- or three-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility) or (b) the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) one-month Term SOFR plus 1% and (iii) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate (the “Base Rate”), in each case plus an applicable margin, and interest shall be payable monthly in arrears. The applicable margin for Term SOFR loans ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% and the applicable margin for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.75% to 1.25%, in each case, depending on Select LLC’s average excess availability under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, as set forth in the table below. During the continuance of a bankruptcy event of default, automatically, and during the continuance of any other default, upon the Administrative Agent’s or the required lenders’ election, all outstanding amounts under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility will bear interest at 2.00% plus the otherwise applicable interest rate. The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date.

Table of Contents


Level	Average Excess Availability	Base Rate Margin	SOFR Margin

I	< 33.33% of the commitments	1.25%	2.25%
II	< 66.67% of the commitments and ≥ 33.33% of the commitments	1.00%	2.00%
III	≥ 66.67% of the commitments	0.75%	1.75%


Level	Average Revolver Usage	Unused Line Fee Percentage

I	≥ 50% of the commitments	0.250%
II	< 50% of the commitments	0.375%

Under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, the interest rate margin and the facility fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on Select LLC’s performance of specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to (i) total recordable incident rate, as the Employee Health and Safety Metric and (ii) barrels of produced water recycled at permanent or semi-permanent water treatment and recycling facilities owned or operated, as the Water Stewardship Metric, in each case, subject to limited assurance verification by a qualified independent external reviewer. The adjustment for the interest rate margin is a range of plus and minus 5.0 basis points and the adjustment for the fee margin is a range of plus and minus 1.0 basis point, subject to the mechanics under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility.

The obligations under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility are guaranteed by SES Holdings and certain subsidiaries of SES Holdings and Select LLC and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the personal property assets of SES Holdings, Select LLC and their domestic subsidiaries.

The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

In addition, the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility restricts SES Holdings’ and Select LLC’s ability to make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, its equity interests, except for certain distributions, including distributions of cash so long as, both at the time of the distribution and after giving effect to the distribution, no default exists under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and either (a) excess availability at all times during the preceding 30 consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 25% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $33.75 million or (b) if SES Holdings’ fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis, and excess availability at all times during the preceding 30 consecutive days, on a pro forma basis and after giving effect to such distribution, is not less than the greater of (1) 20% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (2) $27.0 million. Additionally, the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility generally permits Select LLC to make distributions required under its existing Tax Receivable Agreements. See “Note 12—Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreements” for further discussion of the Tax Receivable Agreements.

The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility also requires SES Holdings to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 at any time availability under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) $15.0 million and continuing through and including the first day after such time that availability under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of (A) the maximum revolver amount and (B) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) $15.0 million for 60 consecutive calendar days.

Certain lenders party to the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation. In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, such parties and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for

Table of Contents

the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve the Company’s securities and/or instruments.

The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022 and no borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the borrowing base under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and Prior Credit Agreement was $216.5 million and $132.7 million, respectively. The borrowing capacity under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and Prior Credit Agreement was reduced by outstanding letters of credit of $20.9 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s letters of credit have a variable interest rate between 1.75% and 2.25% based on the Company’s average excess availability as outlined above. The unused portion of the available borrowings under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $195.6 million as of June 30, 2022.

In connection with the entry into the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $2.1 million of debt issuance costs during the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt to which they pertain. Total unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As these debt issuance costs relate to a revolving line of credit, they are presented as a deferred charge within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 10—EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

The SES Holdings 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was approved by the board of managers of SES Holdings in April 2011. In conjunction with the private placement of 16,100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on December 20, 2016 (the “Select 144A Offering”), the Company adopted the Select Energy Services, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. Options that were outstanding under the 2011 Plan immediately prior to the Select 144A Offering were cancelled in exchange for new options granted under the 2016 Plan. On May 8, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan by 4,000,000 shares and to make certain other administrative changes. The 2016 Plan includes share recycling provisions that allow shares subject to an award that are withheld or surrendered to the Company in payment of any exercise price or taxes or an award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited or otherwise terminated without actual delivery of the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock to be considered not delivered and thus available to be granted as new awards under the 2016 Plan.

Currently, the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan is approximately 13.3 million shares, with approximately 2.6 million shares available to be issued as of June 30, 2022. For all share-based compensation award types, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Stock Option Awards

The Company has outstanding stock option awards as of June 30, 2022 but there have been no option grants since 2018. The stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant. The expected life of the options at the time of the grant was based on the vesting period and term of the options awarded, which was ten years.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information as of and for the Current Period is as follows:

^(a)Aggregate intrinsic value for stock options is based on the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the quoted closing Class A Common Stock price of $6.82 and $6.23 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company recognized no compensation expense related to stock options during the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter or Current Period and a nominal amount of compensation expense during the Prior Period. As of June 30, 2022, all equity-based compensation expense related to stock options had been recognized.

Restricted Stock Awards

The value of the restricted stock awards granted was established by the market price of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant and is recorded as compensation expense ratably over the vesting term, which is generally one

Performance Share Units (PSUs)

During 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Company approved grants of PSUs that are subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting provisions related to (i) return on asset performance (“ROA”) in comparison to thirteen peer companies and (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) performance percentage. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to a recipient upon vesting of the PSUs will be calculated based on ROA and FCF performance over the applicable period from either January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 or January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.

During 2021, the Company also approved grants of PSUs subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting conditions based on adjusted earnings before taxes and depreciation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as defined in the agreement. The target PSUs granted in 2021 connected with Adjusted EBITDA could vest at 100% only if the minimum Adjusted EBITDA threshold was met. All Adjusted EBITDA-linked PSUs granted in 2021 did not achieve the performance-based vesting conditions and were forfeited.

The target number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to each remaining PSU granted in 2020, 2021 and 2022 is one; however, based on the achievement of performance criteria, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be received in settlement of each PSU can range from zero to 1.75 times the target number. The PSUs become earned at the end of the performance period after the attainment of the performance level has been certified by the compensation committee, which will be no later than June 30, 2023 for the 2020 PSU grants, June 30, 2024 for the 2021 PSU grants, and June 30, 2025, for the 2022 PSU grants, assuming the applicable minimum performance metrics are achieved.

Table of Contents

The target PSUs granted in 2020 that become earned connected with the ROA in comparison to other companies will be determined based on the Company’s Average Return on Assets (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) relative to the Average Return on Assets of the peer companies (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) in accordance with the following table, but only if the Company’s Average Return on Assets is equal to or greater than 5% during the performance period. The target PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022 removed the 5% minimum ROA for the Company and added that the Company must have a positive Total Shareholder Return (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) over the performance period. As a result of this market condition being added, the 2021 and 2022 PSUs will be valued each reporting period utilizing a Black-Scholes model.


Ranking Among Peer Group		Percentage of Target Amount Earned
Outside of Top 10		0%
Top 10		50%
Top 7		100%
Top 3		175%

The target PSUs that become earned in connection with the adjusted FCF performance percentage will be determined (as defined in the applicable PSU agreement) in accordance with the following table:


Adjusted FCF Performance Percentage		Percentage of Target Amount Earned
Less than 70%		0%
70%		50%
100%		100%
130%		175%

The fair value on the date the PSUs were granted during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $5.0 million, $4.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Compensation expense related to the PSUs is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such awards that, based on the Company’s estimate, are probable to vest by the measurement date (i.e., the last day of each reporting period date) fair value and recognized using the accelerated attribution method. The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million, $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million related to the PSUs for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested PSUs is estimated to be $5.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. However, this compensation cost will be adjusted as appropriate throughout the applicable performance periods.

The following table summarizes the information about the PSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2022:


		PSUs
Nonvested as of December 31, 2021		2,205,604
Target shares granted		665,992
Target shares forfeited (1)		(838,384)
Target shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022		2,033,212

(1)

All PSUs granted in 2019 and all PSUs granted in 2021 tied to Adjusted EBITDA did not achieve the respective performance targets and were forfeited.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) under which employees that have been continuously employed for at least one year may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a discount. The plan provides for four offering periods per year for purchases: December 1 through February 28, March 1 through May 31, June 1 through August 31 and September 1 through November 30. At the end of each offering period, enrolled employees purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to 95% of the market value of the stock on the last

day of such offering period. The purchases are made at the end of an offering period with funds accumulated through payroll deductions over the course of the offering period. Subject to limitations set forth in the plan and under IRS regulations, eligible employees may elect to contribute a maximum of $15,000 to the plan in a single calendar year. The plan is deemed to be noncompensatory.

The following table summarizes ESPP activity (in thousands, except shares):

Share Repurchases

During the Current Quarter, the Company repurchased 94,595 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with employee minimum tax withholding requirements for units vested under the 2016 Plan. All repurchased shares were retired. During the Current Quarter, the repurchases were accounted for as a decrease to paid-in-capital of $0.8 million and a decrease to Class A Common Stock of approximately $1,000. In the Prior Quarter, the Company repurchased 55,898 shares in connection with employee minimum tax withholding requirements.

During the Current Period, the Company repurchased 2,297,985 shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market and repurchased 456,938 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with employee minimum tax withholding requirements for units vested under the 2016 Plan and the cashless exercise of stock options.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to measure assets and liabilities in a business combination or assess impairment and abandonment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill or to measure the value of securities marked to market. Fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and includes certain disclosure requirements. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no transfers into, or out of, the three levels of the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021.

Nonmonetary transaction: During 2020, the Company had a nonmonetary exchange with a customer whereby the customer settled an accounts receivable balance using its restricted common stock, warrants and other privately traded securities. The Company chose the fair value option to account for the securities because it represents the period-end value of the securities, which the Company has the ability to sell. The registration statement registering the resale of the restricted common stock, warrants and other privately traded securities received became effective in the fourth quarter of 2020. Accordingly, the Company uses a Level 1 calculation with the value of the securities derived from quoted market pricing of unrestricted, publicly-traded securities. The Company recorded zero, a $0.7 million unrealized gain, less than a $0.1 million unrealized loss and a $1.2 million unrealized loss on the securities during the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively, based on the value of the securities as of the end of each reporting period, recognized within other income (expense), net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company sold most of these securities during 2021. The approximately $35,000 of remaining securities is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

Other fair value considerations

The carrying values of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade and accounts payable, approximate their fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company did not have any bank debt as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

The first of the Tax Receivable Agreements, which the Company entered into with Legacy Owner Holdco and Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. (“Crestview GP”), generally provides for the payment by the Company to such TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after the Select 144A Offering as a result of, as applicable to each such TRA Holder, (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of the Company’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’s SES Holdings LLC Units in connection with the Select 144A Offering or pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right or the Company’s Call Right and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments the Company makes under such Tax Receivable Agreement.

The second of the Tax Receivable Agreements, which the Company entered into with an affiliate of Legacy Owner Holdco and Crestview GP, generally provides for the payment by the Company to such TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after the Select 144A Offering as a result of, as applicable to each such TRA Holder, (i) any net

NOTE 16—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Select Inc. is a leading provider of comprehensive water-management and chemical solutions to the oil and gas industry in the U.S. The Company’s services are offered through three reportable segments. Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the three reportable segments. Corporate and other expenses that do not individually meet the criteria for segment reporting are reported separately as Corporate or Other.

The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of the following three reportable segments:

Water Services — The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses, including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals business.

Water Infrastructure — The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s infrastructure assets, including operations associated with our water sourcing and pipeline infrastructure, our water recycling solutions, and our produced water gathering systems and saltwater disposal wells, as well as solids disposal facilities, primarily serving E&P companies.

Oilfield Chemicals — The Oilfield Chemicals segment provides technical solutions and expertise related to chemical applications in the oil and gas industry. We develop, manufacture and provide a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing, pipelines and well completions. We also have significant capabilities in supplying logistics for chemical applications. Given the breadth of chemicals and application expertise we provide, our customers range from pressure pumpers to major integrated and independent oil and gas producers. This segment also utilizes its chemical experience and lab testing capabilities to customize tailored water treatment solutions designed to optimize the fracturing fluid system in conjunction with the quality of water used in well completions.

We are a leading provider of comprehensive water-management and chemical solutions to the oil and gas industry in the United States (“U.S.”). We also develop, manufacture and deliver a full suite of chemical solutions for use in oil and gas well completion operations. As a leader in the water solutions industry, we place the utmost importance on safe, environmentally responsible management of oilfield water throughout the lifecycle of a well. Additionally, we believe that responsibly managing water resources through our operations to help conserve and protect the environment in the communities in which we operate is paramount to our continued success.

Sustainability

Select is committed to implementing a corporate strategy that supports the long-term viability of our business model in a manner that focuses on our people, our customers, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. We believe this focus will help both us and our customers achieve their short-term and long-term environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals, help us attract and retain top talent, maintain community support in our areas of operations and further our efforts to generate stockholder returns. We believe our commitment to foster a culture of corporate responsibility is an important part of being a company with operations spanning the contiguous U.S. Further, we believe being a good corporate steward is strategic to our growth in the oil and gas industry and will better allow us to develop solutions that both address the needs of our customers and contribute to sustainable business practices. As a service company, we compete with other service providers based on various factors, including safety and operational performance, technological innovation, process efficiencies and reputational awareness. We believe there is a strong link between these corporate responsibility initiatives and our ability to provide value in our industry.

We are one of the few public companies whose primary focus is on the management of water and water logistics in the oil and gas development industry, with a focus on driving efficient, environmentally responsible and economic solutions that lower costs throughout the lifecycle of the well. We believe water is a valuable resource and seek to balance the long-term sustainability of this resource between the needs of the oil and gas industry as well as other industries and the general public. As a company, we continue to provide access to various sources of water as demanded by our customers and have significantly increased our focus on the recycling and reuse of produced water, as well as industrial water sources, to meet the industry’s water demand and align our operations with the goals of our customers. We have invested significantly in recent quarters in the development of fixed recycling facilities that support the advancement of commercialized produced water reuse solutions. By doing so, we strive to reduce both the amount of produced water being reinjected into SWDs and our usage of fresh water. We view our rather unique position as an opportunity to transform water management by leveraging our Oilfield Chemicals business to develop produced water management solutions that increase our customers’ ability to reuse this produced water and add value to their operations. By implementing our innovative approach to water solutions, Select has become a leader in recycling produced water to be used in well completions.

Our strong company culture values commitments to all stakeholders, and we aim to create a work environment that fosters a diverse and inclusive company culture. Additionally, we prioritize safety in our operations through rigorous training, structured protocols, incentives and awards programs and ongoing automation of our operations where appropriate. Our prioritization of safety includes a commitment to safeguarding the communities in which we operate

We believe that proper alignment of our management and our board of directors with our shareholders is critical to creating long-term value, including the alignment of management compensation and incentive structures and the active engagement of a diverse, experienced and independent board of directors.

Recent Developments

Between July 2021 and February 2022, Select completed five acquisitions. Collectively these acquisitions expanded our revenue base and service offerings with many of our key customers and increased our overall service offerings within multiple basins. Effectively integrating the acquired assets and operations is a major focus of ours for the remainder of 2022. Our integration and related efforts include, but are not limited to, increasing revenue through strategic market share gains, regional service line expansion, increased pricing, and achieving operational synergies. These operational synergies are expected to be realized by effectively connecting complementary assets with one another, pairing assets with related services, realizing cost synergies, and selling excess assets.

On February 23, 2022, the Company acquired Nuverra, an energy-focused environmental solutions company, providing environmental solutions, including the removal, treatment, recycling, transportation and disposal of restricted solids, fluids and hydrocarbons for exploration and production companies operating across the U.S., including in the Bakken, Haynesville, Marcellus and Utica Shales. With the Nuverra transaction, we added more than 300,000 barrels per day of permitted daily disposal capacity in Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Montana and Ohio. When combined with our existing assets and other recent acquisitions, this brings our company-wide permitted daily disposal capacity to approximately 2.5 million barrels per day.

The Complete Acquisition, Agua Libre and Basic Acquisition and HB Rentals Acquisition improved our financial results in the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as our competitive positioning in the water solutions market. These acquisitions strengthened our geographic footprint and provided access to employee expertise as well as opportunities to expand our growing water recycling business into new areas. The acquisitions also increased our market share and added multiple opportunities for future revenue and cost synergies.

In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine that has led to significant armed hostilities. As a result, the U.S., the United Kingdom, the member states of the European Union and other public and private actors have levied severe sanctions on Russian financial institutions, businesses and individuals. This conflict, and the resulting sanctions, has contributed to significant increases and volatility in the prices for oil and natural gas, with the posted price for WTI reaching a high of $123.64 per barrel during the Current Period. Such volatility may lead to a more difficult investing and planning environment for us and our customers. While the near-term impact of these events resulted in higher oil and gas prices in the Current Period, the geopolitical and macroeconomic consequences of this invasion and associated sanctions cannot be predicted, and such events, or any further hostilities in Ukraine or elsewhere, could severely impact the world economy and may adversely affect our financial condition.

While the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations have decreased in recent quarters, this pandemic has had a material negative impact on our financial results. While we have seen economic recovery and higher oil prices through the Current Quarter and the Current Period, such negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of the pandemic until global GDP levels, associated oil demand and resulting oilfield activity all fully rebound. While we have seen oilfield activity improve considerably and global inventories rapidly normalize with continued demand growth since the low point experienced in 2020, considerable uncertainty still remains. Even with this recent recovery however, we cannot provide assurance that our assumptions used to estimate our future financial results will be correct given the unpredictable nature of the current market environment after the recent elevated volatility in the demand for oil and demand for our services. As a consequence, our ability to accurately forecast our activity and profitability is uncertain.

The future magnitude and ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is also uncertain. Therefore, we cannot reliably estimate its impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with certainty. In this environment, the Company has planned for a range of scenarios and has taken a number of actions to decrease operating and capital expenses, and defer other expenses in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act. To protect our workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken steps to support our people who are affected by the virus, manage work-from-home scheduling as appropriate, limit on-site visitors, and monitor and consistently communicate with those who are required to be at a work location, while also providing these employees with additional personal protective equipment.

As a result of reduced oil inventories driven by the economic recovery and oil demand growth in much of the world, as well as supply uncertainties heightened by the Russia/Ukraine war, oil and gas prices increased notably in the Current Quarter as compared to the Prior Quarter. During the Current Quarter, the average spot price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil was $108.83 versus an average price of $66.19 for the Prior Quarter. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot price during the Current Quarter was $7.48 versus an average of $2.94 for the Prior Quarter. These price levels are supportive of our customers’ drilling and completion programs in the major shale basins.

Many of our customers have demonstrated their resolve to manage their capital spending to within budgets and cash flow from operations and increase redemptions of debt and/or returns of capital to investors. Additionally, consolidation among our customers can disrupt our market in the near-term and the resulting demand for our services. Overall however, the financial health of the oil and gas industry and many of our customers specifically, as reflected in debt metrics, recent capital raises, and equity valuations, greatly improved over the year ended December 31, 2021 and in the beginning of 2022.

From an operational standpoint, many of the recent trends still apply to ongoing unconventional oil and gas development. The continued trend towards multi-well pad development, executed within a limited time frame, has increased the overall complexity of well completions, while increasing fracturing efficiency and the use of lower-cost in-basin sand has decreased total costs for our customers. However, we note the continued efficiency gains in the well completions process can limit the days we spend on the wellsite and, therefore, negatively impact the total revenue opportunity for certain of our services utilizing day-rate pricing models.

This multi-well pad development, combined with recent upstream acreage consolidation and the growing trends around the reuse applications of produced water provides significant opportunity for companies like us that can deliver increasingly complex solutions for our E&P customers across the full completion and production lifecycle of wells. While these trends are most advanced in the Permian Basin, they are emerging in other basins as well.

The trend of increased use of produced water will require additional chemical treatment solutions, and we have a dedicated team of specialists focused every day on developing and deploying innovative water treatment and reuse services for our customers. Our FluidMatch™ design solutions enable our customers to economically use these alternative sources to optimize their fluid systems by providing water profiling and fluid assessment services working towards real time. This trend also supports more complex “on the fly” solutions that treat, proportion, and blend various streams of water and chemicals at the wellsite. This complexity favors service companies able to provide advanced technology solutions. Ultimately, we intend to play an important role in the advancement of water and chemical solutions that are designed to meet the sustainability goals of key stakeholders.

Our water logistics, treatment, and chemical application expertise, in combination with advanced technology solutions, are applicable to other industries beyond oil and gas. We are working to further commercialize our services in other businesses through our industrial solutions group.

February 2021 Severe Weather

Severe winter weather in February 2021 negatively impacted our Prior Period results, equating to approximately one lost week of operations across most of our locations, with extended raw material shortages that

Table of Contents

impacted our Oilfield Chemicals segment into March. We estimate that this negatively impacted Prior Period revenue by an amount ranging from $9 million to $12 million.

Our Segments

Our services are offered through three reportable segments: (i) Water Services; (ii) Water Infrastructure; and (iii) Oilfield Chemicals.

●

Water Services. The Water Services segment consists of the Company’s services businesses, including water transfer, flowback and well testing, fluids hauling, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our accommodations and rentals business.

●

Water Infrastructure. The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s infrastructure assets, including operations associated with our water sourcing and pipeline infrastructure, our water recycling solutions, and our produced water gathering systems and saltwater disposal wells, as well as solids disposal facilities, primarily serving E&P companies.

●

Oilfield Chemicals. The Oilfield Chemicals segment provides technical solutions and expertise related to chemical applications in the oil and gas industry. We develop, manufacture and provide a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing, pipelines and well completions. We also have significant capabilities in supplying logistics for chemical applications. Given the breadth of chemicals and application expertise we provide, our customers range from pressure pumpers to major integrated and independent oil and gas producers. This segment also utilizes its chemical experience and lab testing capabilities to customize tailored water treatment solutions designed to optimize the fracturing fluid system in conjunction with the quality of water used in well completions.

How We Generate Revenue

We currently generate the majority of our revenue through our water-management services associated with well completions, provided through our Water Services and Water Infrastructure segments. The majority of this revenue is realized through customer agreements with fixed pricing terms and is recognized when delivery of services is provided, generally at our customers’ sites. While we have some long-term pricing arrangements, particularly in our Water Infrastructure segment, most of our water and water-related services are priced based on prevailing market conditions, giving due consideration to the specific requirements of the customer.

We also generate revenue by providing completion and specialty chemicals through our Oilfield Chemicals segment. We invoice the majority of our Oilfield Chemicals customers for services provided based on the quantity of chemicals used or pursuant to short-term contracts as the customers’ needs arise.

Costs of Conducting Our Business

The principal expenses involved in conducting our business are labor costs, vehicle and equipment costs (including depreciation, repair, rental and maintenance and leasing costs), raw materials and water sourcing costs and fuel costs. Our fixed costs are relatively low. Most of the costs of serving our customers are variable, i.e., they are incurred only when we provide water and water-related services, or chemicals and chemical-related services to our customers.

Labor costs associated with our employees and contract labor comprise the largest portion of our costs of doing business. We incurred labor and labor-related costs of $112.1 million, $59.7 million, $216.0 million and $117.6 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. The majority of our recurring labor costs are variable and dependent on the then-current market environment and are incurred only while we are providing our operational services. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform

Table of Contents

maintenance on our assets, which is not directly tied to our level of business activity. Additionally, we incur selling, general and administrative costs for compensation of our administrative personnel at our field sites and in our operational and corporate headquarters, as well as for third-party support, licensing and services.

We incur significant vehicle and equipment costs in connection with the services we provide, including depreciation, repairs and maintenance, rental and leasing costs. We incurred vehicle and equipment costs of $66.3 million, $35.8 million, $123.6 million and $70.6 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

We incur raw material costs in manufacturing our chemical products, as well as for water that we source for our customers. We incurred raw material costs of $75.1 million, $45.5 million, $146.1 million and $90.5 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

We incur variable transportation costs associated with our service lines, predominately fuel and freight. We incurred fuel and freight costs of $32.0 million, $13.1 million, $55.9 million and $23.9 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Rising fuel prices impact our transportation costs, which affect the pricing and demand for our services and, therefore, our results of operations.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a variety of operational and financial metrics to assess our performance. Among other measures, management considers each of the following:

●

Revenue;

●

Gross Profit;

●

Gross Margins;

●

EBITDA; and

●

Adjusted EBITDA.

Revenue

We analyze our revenue and assess our performance by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections and across periods. We also assess incremental changes in revenue compared to incremental changes in direct operating costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses across our reportable segments to identify potential areas for improvement, as well as to determine whether segment performance is meeting management’s expectations.

Gross Profit

To measure our financial performance, we analyze our gross profit, which we define as revenues less direct operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization expenses). We believe gross profit provides insight into profitability and the true operating performance of our assets. We also compare gross profit to prior periods and across segments to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.

Gross Margins

Gross margins provide an important gauge of how effective we are at converting revenue into profits. This metric works in tandem with gross profit to ensure that we do not seek to increase gross profit at the expense of lower margins, nor pursue higher gross margins at the expense of declining gross profits. We track gross margins by segment

Table of Contents

and service line and compare them across prior periods and across segments and service lines to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income/(loss), plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, plus any impairment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, nonrecurring compensation expense, non-cash compensation expense, and nonrecurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains) and plus/(minus) losses/(gains) on unconsolidated entities less bargain purchase gains from business combinations. The adjustments to EBITDA are generally consistent with such adjustments described in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. See “—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations to Our Historical Results of Operations

Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented, primarily for the reasons described below and those described in “—Recent Developments” above.

Acquisition Activity

As described above, we are continuously evaluating potential investments, particularly in water infrastructure and other water-related services and technology. To the extent we consummate acquisitions, any incremental revenues or expenses from such transactions are not included in our historical results of operations.

Between July 2021 and February 2022, we completed five acquisitions. Our historical financial statements for periods prior to the respective date each acquisition was completed do not include the results of operations of that acquisition. See “—Recent Developments” and “Note 3—Acquisitions” for a description of these transactions.

For the Current Period, our Water Services, Water Infrastructure and Oilfield Chemicals constituted 57.0%, 18.8% and 24.2% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 46.2%, 23.3% and 30.5%, respectively, for the Prior Period. The revenue changes by reportable segment are as follows:

Water Services. Revenue increased $218.7 million, or 155.3%, to $359.6 million for the Current Period compared to $140.9 million for the Prior Period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for our

services coupled with increased pricing in comparison to the Prior Period. The increase was also impacted by incremental revenue contributed by the Complete, Basic, HB Rentals and Nuverra acquisitions.

Water Infrastructure. Revenue increased by $47.7 million, or 67.1%, to $118.8 million for the Current Period compared to $71.1 million for the Prior Period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for our services in comparison to the Prior Period. The increase was also modestly impacted by incremental revenue contributed by the Complete, Agua Libre and Nuverra acquisitions.

Oilfield Chemicals. Revenue increased $59.4 million, or 63.9%, to $152.2 million for the Current Period compared to $92.9 million for the Prior Period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for our services in comparison to the Prior Period.

Costs of Revenue

Costs of revenue increased $259.4 million, or 83.4%, to $570.3 million for the Current Period compared to $310.9 million for the Prior Period. The increase was primarily composed of a $162.0 million increase in Water Services costs, a $36.7 million increase in Water Infrastructure costs, and a $47.6 million increase in Oilfield Chemicals costs due to supporting the higher revenue producing activity discussed above. Current Period inflation also impacted variable costs for labor, fuel and services. We were able to pass much of these increased costs to customers with surcharges and pricing increases.

Water Services. Costs of revenue increased $162.0 million, or 121.8%, to $295.1 million for the Current Period compared to $133.1 million for the Prior Period. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue decreased from 94.5% to 82.1% due primarily to economies of scale from higher revenue activity. The Prior Period was negatively impacted by a significant reduction in demand for our services due to a gradual recovery following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Water Infrastructure. Costs of revenue increased $36.7 million, or 69.7%, to $89.3 million for the Current Period compared to $52.6 million for the Prior Period. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue increased from 74.0% to 75.2% due primarily to a lower relative contribution of high-margin pipeline revenue.

Oilfield Chemicals. Costs of revenue increased $47.6 million, or 57.7%, to $130.2 million for the Current Period compared to $82.5 million for the Prior Period. Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue decreased from 88.9% to 85.5% due primarily to higher utilization and cost absorption at our manufacturing facilities. The Prior Period was negatively impacted by a significant reduction in demand for our services due to a gradual recovery following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $13.1 million, or 30.7%, to $55.8 million for the Current Period compared to $42.7 million for the Prior Period, due primarily to a higher fixed asset base related to acquisitions occurring after June 30, 2021.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit was $60.3 million for the Current Period compared to a gross loss of $6.0 million for the Prior Period due primarily to higher revenue in all three segments resulting from increased activity levels. Gross profit increased by $56.7 million, $11.0 million and $11.7 million in our Water Services, Water Infrastructure and Oilfield Chemicals segments, respectively. Partially offsetting the increase in gross profit was a $13.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 9.6% and (2.0%) in the Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.2 million, or 53.7%, to $55.0 million for the Current Period compared to $35.8 million for the Prior Period. The increase was due primarily to $4.4 million higher wages and associated payroll taxes, $3.5 million of costs from the additional personnel and related back-office expenses as a result

Table of Contents

of our recent acquisitions, comprised of $1.1 million of personnel costs and $2.4 million of other back-office costs, a $3.3 million increase in equity-based compensation costs, $2.1 million in higher vehicle lease costs, $1.8 million higher legal and professional services in connection with work related to acquisitions, a $1.8 million increase in incentive compensation cost, a $1.3 million increase in bad debt expense, a $0.9 million increase in travel, meals and entertainment costs and $3.3 million from a combination of other expenses partially offset by $3.2 million in Prior Period severance expense.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased by $0.4 million, or 45.4%, to $1.2 million for the Current Period compared to $0.8 million in the Prior Period due primarily to writing off unamortized deferred debt issuance costs in connection with amending and restating the Prior Credit Agreement in the Current Period, lower interest income related to notes receivable that were converted to an equity-method investment during the Current Period and higher interest expense due to borrowings in the Current Period.

Bargain Purchase Gain

Bargain purchase gain of $17.0 million in the Current Period was comprised of $7.2 million related to the Nuverra Acquisition and $9.8 million in adjustments related to acquisitions that occurred in 2021.

Other

Other income was $1.1 million in the Current Period compared to other expense of $0.7 million in the Prior Period. During the Current Period, other income was primarily related to the sale of excess assets acquired in our recent acquisitions. During the Prior Period, other expenses were primarily related to the mark-to-market of equity securities using the fair value option.

Net Income (Loss)

Net Income (loss) increased by $69.6 million, to a net income of $22.6 million for the Current Period compared to a net loss of $47.0 million for the Prior Period, driven primarily by increased revenue due to a gradual increase in demand for our services and a bargain purchase gain of $17.0 million. The Prior Period was negatively impacted by a significant reduction in demand for our services due to a gradual recovery following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, plus any impairment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to GAAP, plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense, non-cash compensation expense, and non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains) and plus/(minus) losses/(gains) on unconsolidated entities less bargain purchase gains from business combinations. The adjustments to EBITDA are generally consistent with such adjustments described in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. See “—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our board of directors, management and investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Table of Contents

because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to the exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. One should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table sets forth our reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

(1)	For the Prior Period, these costs related to severance costs associated with our former CEO.

(2)	For all periods presented, the losses were due primarily to sales of real estate and underutilized or obsolete property and equipment.

(3)	For all periods presented, these costs were due primarily to legal-related due diligence costs as well as costs related to certain acquired subsidiaries.

EBITDA was $45.0 million for the Current Quarter compared to $2.5 million for the Prior Quarter. The $42.5 million increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by an increase of $45.5 million in gross profit, a $2.4 million increase in net gains from asset sales and a $5.6 million bargain purchase gain in the Current Quarter partially offset by a $10.8 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $7.6 million for the Prior Quarter. The $40.1 million increase is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

EBITDA was $81.0 million for the Current Period compared to ($2.4) million for the Prior Period. The $83.5 million increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by an increase of $79.5 million in gross profit, a $17.0 million bargain purchase gain in the Current Period and a $4.6 million increase in net gains from asset sales partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $79.8 million for the Current Period compared to $8.5 million for the Prior Period. The $71.3 million increase is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, borrowing capacity under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, cash flows from operations and proceeds from the sale of excess property and equipment. Our primary uses of capital have been to fund current operations, maintain our asset base, implement technological advancements, make capital expenditures to support organic growth, fund acquisitions and minority investments, and when appropriate, repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market. Depending on available opportunities, market conditions and other factors, we may also issue debt and equity securities, in the future, if needed.

As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding bank debt and a positive net cash position. We prioritize sustained positive free cash flow and a strong balance sheet, and evaluate potential acquisitions and investments in the context of those priorities, in addition to the economics of the opportunity. We believe this approach provides us with additional flexibility to evaluate larger investments as well as improved resilience in a sustained downturn versus many of our peers.

Based on our current cash and cash equivalents balance, operating cash flow, available borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and the ongoing actions discussed above, we believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants through the next twelve months and beyond, prior to giving effect to any future financing that may occur.

We intend to finance most of our capital expenditures, contractual obligations and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. For a discussion of the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, see “—Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility” below. Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe that our current cash balance, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.7 million, and we had approximately $195.6 million of available borrowing capacity under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, the borrowing base under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $216.5 million, we had no outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit totaled $20.9 million. As of August 1, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings, the borrowing base under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $227.8 million, the outstanding letters of credit totaled $20.9 million, and the available borrowing capacity under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $206.9 million.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes between the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $7.5 million for the Current Period, compared to $11.4 million in the Prior Period. The $4.0 million decrease is due primarily to the timing of collecting receivables.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million for the Current Period, compared to $11.5 million for the Prior Period. The $0.4 million increase in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to a $17.5 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, a $1.1 million working capital settlement in the Current Period related to a prior year acquisition and a $1.0 million increase in investments partially offset by a $12.5 million increase in proceeds received from sales of property and equipment and $6.9 million in cash and restricted cash received in the Nuverra Acquisition.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $40.7 million for the Current Period compared to $2.4 million for the Prior Period. The $38.3 million increase in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to net debt repayments of $18.8 million, an $18.5 million increase in repurchases of shares of Class A Common Stock during the Current Period compared to the Prior Period and $2.1 million in debt issuance costs in the Current Period.

Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility

On March 17, 2022 (the “Restatement Date”), SES Holdings, a subsidiary of the Company, and Select Energy Services, LLC (“Select LLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES Holdings, entered into a $270.0 million amended and restated senior secured sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (the “Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility”), by and among SES Holdings, as parent, Select LLC, as borrower and certain of SES Holdings’ subsidiaries, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender (the “Administrative Agent”) (which amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2017). The Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility also has a sublimit of $40.0 million for letters of credit and a sublimit of $27.0 million for swingline loans. Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders, Select LLC has the option to increase the maximum amount under the senior secured credit facility by $135.0 million during the first three years following the Restatement Date.

Refer to “Note 8—Debt” for further discussion of the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

None.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we had no material off-balance-sheet arrangements. As such, we are not exposed to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such financing arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The demand, pricing and terms for oilfield services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of drilling and completion activity in the U.S. oil and gas industry. The level of drilling and completion activity is influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: global health events, including the COVID-19 pandemic; the supply of and demand for oil and gas; war, economic sanctions and other constraints to global trade and economic growth; current price levels as well as expectations about future prices of oil and gas; the magnitude and timing of capital spending by our customers; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and gas; the extent to which our E&P customers choose to drill and complete new wells to offset decline from their existing wells; the extent to which our E&P customers choose to invest to grow production; discoveries of new oil and gas reserves; available storage capacity and pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; political instability in oil-producing countries; environmental regulations; technical advances in alternative forms of energy (e.g. wind and solar electricity, electric vehicles) that encourage substitution for or displacement of oil and gas consumption in end-use markets; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; merger and acquisition activity and consolidation in our industry, and other factors.

Any combination of these factors that results in sustained low oil and gas prices and, therefore, lower capital spending and / or reduced drilling and completion activity by our customers, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. As of August 1, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $206.9 million of available borrowing capacity under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. Interest is calculated under the terms of our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility based on our selection, from time to time, of one of the index rates available to us plus an applicable margin that varies based on certain factors. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have been exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar with regard to the activities of our former Canadian subsidiary, which had designated the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. With the divestitures of our Canadian operations, we anticipate minimal future exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
