FTS International, Inc. (NYSE American: FTSI) today reported its
financial and operational results for the second quarter of
2020.
Michael Doss, Chief Executive Officer, commented “Due to the
impacts of COVID-19 and the Saudi-Russian oil price war earlier
this year, the second quarter was challenging for us and our
industry. We reacted quickly in late March to adjust our business
to lower demand by aggressively cutting costs to preserve
liquidity. Sequentially, we were able to cut our annualized costs
of revenue per active fleet by approximately $6 million and reduce
our annualized SG&A by approximately $18 million.
We continue to expect a challenging market for the remainder of
the year. While I am encouraged by the recent improvement in
activity levels from the trough, margins are expected to remain
compressed. With a firm grip on operating costs, low fleet
reactivation costs and our ability to react quickly to market
changes, I am confident that we will hold our position as a leader
in through-cycle cash returns.”
Second Quarter 2020 Compared to the First Quarter
2020
- Revenue was $29.5 million, down from $151.5 million
- Net loss was $(50.7) million, compared to a loss of $(11.7)
million
- Earnings per share of $(9.43), compared to $(2.18)
- Adjusted EBITDA was $(9.1) million, down from $22.3
million
- Capital expenditures were $0.4 million, down from $16.4
million
Operational Update
Average active fleets during the second quarter was 5.0, down
from 16.0 in the first quarter. Utilization of our active fleets
averaged 46% during the second quarter, resulting in fully-utilized
fleets of 2.3 during the second quarter. This compares to 88%
utilization and fully-utilized fleets of 14.0 during the first
quarter.
We completed 1,468 stages during the second quarter, or 638
stages per fully-utilized fleet. This compares to 6,888 stages
during the first quarter, or 492 stages per fully-utilized fleet.
The increase from the prior quarter was largely driven by customer
and geographical mix, but also by an increase in average pumping
hours per day.
While utilization of our active fleets was low due to
significant white space in our operations calendar, we continued to
further increase our average pumping hours per active day to an
all-time high of 14.4 hours. Our highest utilized fleets routinely
pump more than 18 pumping hours per active day. This exemplifies
our unwavering attention to efficiency and safety even during
challenging times.
We have 6 fleets active today and currently expect to average 6
to 7 active fleets in the third quarter. However, with limited
visibility we also expect white space to persist in our operations
calendar for the foreseeable future.
These increased activity levels are accretive to the company as
we are only pursuing work that provides a positive contribution
margin; however, we expect gross profit to be minimal due to the
low pricing for our services and certain fixed costs. The largest
fixed costs are contractual in nature and are for items that are
not being fully utilized at today’s activity levels.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital expenditures were $0.4 million in the second quarter,
down from $16.4 million in the first quarter as we took quick
action to preserve liquidity. Due to the low number of fleets
operating, we were able to utilize the pumps that were most
recently rebuilt for our active fleets. In the third quarter, we
will continue to minimize capital expenditures. We currently expect
to incur total capital expenditures between $20 million and $25
million for 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, our borrowing base and therefore our
maximum availability under our revolving credit facility was $9.0
million. As of June 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the credit facility, and letters of credit totaling $4.0
million were issued, resulting in $5.0 million of availability
under the credit facility. This availability requires us to
maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) of 1.0 to
1.0. At our next compliance date in August 2020, we expect our FCCR
to be below the minimum. We are evaluating our options, which
include modifying or terminating the credit facility.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $192.5 million of cash and $437.3
million of gross debt. Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and
debt issuance costs, was $244.8 million. Additionally, at quarter
end, total liquidity was $197.5 million, including $5.0 million of
availability under our revolving credit facility.
Conference Call & Webcast
We do not expect to host a conference call and webcast to
discuss financial results for the second quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define
as earnings before interest; income taxes; and depreciation and
amortization, as well as, the following items, if applicable: gain
or loss on disposal of assets; debt extinguishment gains or losses;
inventory write-downs, asset and goodwill impairments; gain on
insurance recoveries; acquisition earn-out adjustments; stock-based
compensation; supply commitment charges; gain on sale of equity
interest in joint venture affiliate; acquisition or disposition
transaction costs; and employee severance costs related to
corporate-wide cost reduction initiatives. The most comparable
financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA under GAAP is net income or
loss. The company also uses Adjusted EBITDA per average active
fleet on an annualized basis, which is a non-GAAP measure and is
defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the average active fleets per
quarter then multiplying the result by four, and Adjusted EBITDA
per fully-utilized fleet on an annualized basis, which is a
non-GAAP measure and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the
number of fully-utilized fleets during a quarter then multiplying
the result by four. We calculate the number of fully-utilized
active fleets during a quarter by multiplying utilization
percentage by the average active fleets during a quarter. We
calculate utilization percentage by multiplying average active
fleets by 78 then dividing the result by the total number of active
days during a quarter. 78 is the total number of days an active
fleet could be active during a quarter not including transition or
move days during a quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per
average active fleet on an annualized basis and Adjusted EBITDA per
fully-utilized fleet on an annualized basis are used by management
to evaluate the operating performance of the business for
comparable periods and Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used for
management incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
per average active fleet on an annualized basis and Adjusted EBITDA
per fully-utilized fleet on an annualized basis should not be used
by investors or others as the sole basis for formulating investment
decisions, as they exclude a number of important items. We believe
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per average active fleet on an
annualized basis and Adjusted EBITDA per fully-utilized fleet on an
annualized basis are important indicators of operating performance
because they exclude the effects of the company’s capital structure
and certain non-cash items from the company’s operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is also commonly used by investors in the oilfield
services industry to measure a company's operating performance,
although our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other
industry peer companies.
Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs
is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as total long-term
debt plus current maturities of long-term debt plus unamortized
discount and debt issuance costs less cash and cash equivalents.
The most comparable financial measure to net debt under GAAP is
long-term debt. Net debt is used by management as a measure of our
financial leverage and helps our investors better understand our
financial leverage. Net debt should not be used by investors or
others as the sole basis in formulating investment decisions as it
does not represent the company’s actual indebtedness.

“estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects” and similar
references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are based
on our current expectations and assumptions regarding capital
market conditions, our business, the economy and other future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the
future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent
uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are

sources; the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves;
the availability of water resources, suitable proppant and
chemicals in sufficient quantities and pricing for use in hydraulic
fracturing fluids; uncertainty in capital and commodities markets
and the ability of oil and natural gas producers to raise equity
capital and debt financing; our ability to manage the maturities of
our term loan and senior notes; ongoing and potential securities
litigation and other litigation and legal proceedings, including
arbitration proceedings and our dispute with Covia Holdings
Corporation regarding a terminated supply agreement; our ability to
participate in consolidation opportunities within our industry; the
ability to successfully manage the economic and operational
challenges associated with a disease outbreak, including epidemics,
pandemics, or similar widespread public health concerns, including
the COVID-19 pandemic; the ultimate geographic spread, duration and
severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the effectiveness of actions
taken, or actions that may be taken, by governmental authorities to
contain such outbreak or treat its impact; the ultimate duration
and impact of geopolitical events that adversely affect the price
of oil, including the Saudi-Russia price war earlier this year; and
a deterioration in general economic conditions or a weakening of
the broader energy industry. Any forward-looking statement made in
this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should
keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in
our filings with the SEC. The risk factors and other factors noted
in our filings with the SEC could cause the company’s actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement.
