“I am very pleased with our overall fourth quarter financial results which exceeded our outlook,” said Robert Drummond, Chief Executive Officer of Keane. “As expected, conditions were challenging, but our team remained focused on delivering efficiency for customers and controlling costs across our business, resulting in annualized adjusted gross profit per fleet of approximately $21 million. We maintain significant operational flexibility, and have invested in keeping a portion of our idle fleets ready to respond quickly to market demand going forward.”

Full-Year 2018 Financial Results

Revenue for the full-year 2018 totaled $2.1 billion, an increase of 39% compared to $1.5 billion for the full-year 2017. Net income for the full-year 2018 was $59.3 million, compared to a net loss of $36.1 million for the full-year 2017. Net income per share for the full-year 2018 totaled $0.54.

“Our strong fourth quarter results capped off a successful year for Keane,” said Greg Powell, President and Chief Financial Officer of Keane. “Our winning strategy focuses on partnering with like-minded customers under dedicated agreements who share our commitment to safety, efficiency and innovation. We generated more than $350 million in operating cash flow in 2018, enabling us to fund our robust capital return program, organic and inorganic expansion, capital to keep our fleet fresh and market-ready, and investments in technology and innovation initiatives.”

Completions Services

Revenue for Completion Services totaled $475.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, a decrease of 13% compared to $548.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, driven by reduced utilization from customer’s budget exhaustion, early achievement of production targets, and commodity price differentials, in addition to normal weather and seasonality. For the fourth quarter of 2018, Keane had an average of 25.0 fleets deployed, of which, utilization averaged 88%, resulting in the equivalent of 22.0 fully-utilized fleets. Adjusted Gross Profit for Completion Services totaled $114.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $122.7 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Annualized revenue per average deployed hydraulic fracturing fleet for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $86.4 million, compared to $91.4 million for the third quarter of 2018. Annualized Adjusted Gross Profit per fleet totaled $20.9 million, compared to $20.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. Included in our results for the fourth quarter was approximately $15.0 million of investment in labor and maintenance costs associated with keeping several fleets market-ready.

Other Services

Revenue in Other Services for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $11.4 million, compared to $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Fourth Quarter 2018 One-Time Items and Other Adjustments

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 excludes $5.2 million of one-time items related to non-cash stock compensation expense.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was $340.7 million, net of unamortized debt discounts and unamortized deferred charges and excluding capital lease obligations, compared to $341.0 million as of September 30, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, cash and equivalents totaled $80.2 million, compared to $82.8 million as of September 30, 2018.

Total available liquidity as of December 31, 2018 was approximately $264.2 million, which included cash and availability under our asset-based credit facility. Total operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2018 was approximately $99.2 million. These operating cash flows, combined with balance sheet cash, were primarily used to fund capital expenditures of approximately $52.2 million, stock repurchases of $35.5 million and debt service of approximately $7.0 million, excluding capital lease obligations.

Stock Repurchase Program Update

During the fourth quarter of 2018, Keane repurchased approximately 3.1 million of its common shares for $35.5 million. For the full-year 2018, Keane repurchased a total of 8.1 million of its common shares for $105.0 million, representing approximately 8% of outstanding shares. Effective February 25, 2019, Keane’s Board of Directors authorized a reset of capacity on its existing stock repurchase program back to $100.0 million and extended the program’s expiration to December 2019.

The stock repurchase program does not obligate Keane to purchase any shares of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.

Outlook

For the first quarter of 2019, total revenue is expected to range between $400 million and $420 million. Keane’s hydraulic fracturing fleet for the first quarter of 2019 will include 29.0 deployable fleets, of which, 22.0 are expected to be deployed. Of this amount, Keane expects to achieve utilization of approximately 90%, resulting in the equivalent of approximately 20.0 fully-utilized hydraulic fracturing fleets during the quarter. Annualized Adjusted Gross Profit per fleet, based on 20.0 fully-utilized fleets, is expected to range between $15.0 million and $17.0 million, including approximately $10 million of labor and maintenance costs associated with keeping a portion of our fleets market-ready.

“We expect sequential revenue declines in the first quarter, driven by increased direct sourcing of sand by certain customers, disruptions in activity from abnormal weather, delays in pad readiness and some price concessions,” continued Mr. Drummond. “The significant and rapid oil price decline emerging late in the fourth quarter disrupted budget cycles for many E&Ps, while awaiting better visibility into the commodity outlook. We remain disciplined, as evidenced by our decision to idle three fleets early in the first quarter after evaluating several market opportunities which did not meet our economic hurdles. Current supply and demand dynamics has led to some pressure on net pricing on deployed fleets, however, most of our customers collaborated with us exhibiting their commitment to our long-term partnership.”

“By the end of the first quarter of 2019, we expect approximately $20 million of adjusted EBITDA tailwind, driven by the abatement of disruptions in activity from abnormal weather, delays in pad readiness and the resolution of strategic labor and maintenance investments we’ve made,” continued Mr. Powell. “Our baseload of activity is strong, with most of our 22 currently deployed fleets committed at least through the end of the year, and 7 currently idle fleets available to support future growth. Regardless of the shape of recovery in activity, we are positioned to generate more than $100 million of free cash flow in 2019 after debt service and capital expenditures. We remain focused on delivering shareholder value by employing a thoughtful and disciplined approach to capital allocation, including maintaining a strong balance sheet and asset base, and returning capital to shareholders.”

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

Keane has included both financial measures compiled in accordance with GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit and ratios based on these financial measures. These measurements provide supplemental information which Keane believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate its ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside GAAP measures such as net income and operating income. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing Keane’s ongoing operating performance, and thereby facilitate review of Keane’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different capital structures, and comparability to Keane’s results of operations may be impacted by the effects of acquisition accounting on its depreciation and amortization. As a result of the effects of these factors and factors specific to other companies, Keane believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit provide helpful information to analysts and investors to facilitate a comparison of its operating performance to that of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, along with certain items management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance. Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, further adjusted to eliminate the impact of all activities in the Corporate segment, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, along with cost of services that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.
