Phillip Gobe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The global oil and gas industry faced unprecedented demand and supply disruptions during the second quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We responded quickly to the dramatic decrease in well completions activity and future uncertainty in mid-March, which allowed us to mitigate the impact to our operational and financial results. In a volatile second quarter, our employees displayed their unwavering commitment to our loyal customers and stakeholders. The close collaboration between the ProPetro team and our customers has enabled solutions that help us remain competitive despite the challenging market conditions that we currently expect to gradually improve as we move through the remainder of 2020. I want to thank our customers, supply chain partners and teammates for outstanding toughness, perseverance and generosity. Of course, none of this would be possible without the safety of the community we operate in during the ongoing fight against COVID-19.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Summary

Revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $106.1 million compared to revenue of $395.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a steep decline in oilfield activity as well as decreased pricing for services. In the second quarter of 2020, $32.6 million of revenue was generated from idle fees charged to a customer.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $40.2 million, for the second quarter of 2020 decreased to $68.2 million comparable to $300.8 million during the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was the result of the steep reduction in frac activity as described above.

General and administrative expense was $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $24.9 million during the first quarter of 2020. General and administrative expense, exclusive of $4.8 million of non-recurring expense, and $3.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and a $3.8 million reduction in provisions for credit losses, was $16.4 million, for the second quarter of 2020. This is comparable to the $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase of $1.4 million in General and Administrative expense (exclusive of non-cash and non-recurring items) was primarily attributable to professional advisory fees incurred in connection with becoming current in our filing obligations with the SEC.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $25.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, versus net loss of $7.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $74.9 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of June 30, 2020, total cash was $37.3 million and total debt was $0.0 million compared to a net cash balance of $33.7 million (including $143.7 million in cash and $110.0 million in total debt) as of March 31, 2020. Total liquidity at the end of the second quarter of 2020 was $50.4 million including cash and $13.1 million of available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

As of July 31, 2020, total cash was $22.6 million and total debt was $0.0 million. Total liquidity as of July 31, 2020 was $43.1 million including cash and $20.5 million of available capacity under ProPetro’s revolving credit facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility (which is determined monthly based on 85% of eligible accounts receivables, less customary reserves) has been adversely impacted by the decline in the Company’s activity given current market conditions. ProPetro will continue to proactively manage its capital and liquidity needs.

Capital expenditures incurred during the second quarter of 2020 were $11.9 million, substantially all of which was maintenance spending. Based on current activity forecasts, full year 2020 capital expenditures are expected to be below $100 million and mostly comprised of maintenance spending, including $15 million in previously deferred spending related to expectations of rising activity levels. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 total $54.7 million.

Outlook

Mr. Gobe concluded, “While we believe that our effective utilization for the third quarter will be higher than the second quarter, the overall outlook for the remainder of 2020 remains uncertain as North American oilfield activity has yet to stabilize at a level conducive to earning a competitive return. The ProPetro team remains confident in our positioning based on our strong customer relationships, debt-free balance sheet and deep bench of committed talent. As in the past, we remain focused on controlling costs and driving service quality and execution to create value for us and our customers at the wellhead. We believe the support of our customers and supply chain partners will drive our continued success as we remain squarely focused on the long-term development of the Permian Basin – one of the most prolific energy-producing regions in North America and where the Company is intensely focused.”
