Management Commentary

"Market conditions during much of the first quarter of 2020 were as expected, as customers increased completions activity to start the year and budget exhaustion and seasonal headwinds abated, said Robert Drummond, President and Chief Executive officer of NexTier. "The environment dramatically deteriorated in the final weeks of March, driven by sudden and unexpected supply and demand shocks. We acted decisively to preserve cash and protect the balance sheet in response, idling a portion of our previously active completions fleet, and sizing our operations and cost structure to align with market demand, while positioning ourselves to act quickly and expand when activity rebounds. I am proud to lead a proven team who has banded together in the face of unprecedented challenges to uphold our safety and service commitment to customers."

"We delivered strong first quarter results, including sequentially higher frac utilization and stable Adjusted EBITDA margins, while exiting the quarter with total liquidity of $590.8 million," said Kenny Pucheu, Chief Financial Officer of NexTier. "We completed the divestiture of our Well Support Services business in early March 2020 in a transaction that streamlined our operations, unlocked further cost reductions, and accelerated approximately five years of free cash flow onto our balance sheet. We are nearing completion on our integration efforts associated with the merger between Keane and C&J, and recently achieved our targeted run-rate cost synergies of $125 million."

"While the duration and magnitude of the oil demand shock remains uncertain, I am confident in NexTier's lasting power, supported by our fortified balance sheet and playbook to navigate the challenging road ahead," continued Mr. Drummond. "NexTier is differentiated with several unique levers including our high-quality partners, leading safety and service quality, attractive gas basin exposure and international outlet. We have a proven management system, and we are proud of our track-record of meeting financial and operating commitments to investors, forging lasting partnerships, maintaining disciplined capital position, leading consolidation and achieving world-class integration. We are determined to emerge from this downturn even stronger and better prepared to meet customer demand and deliver long-term value to stakeholders."

"We honor and support the countless people across the globe that continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we remain vigilant in protecting the health and well-being of our employees, partners, and the communities in which we operate. The impact on NexTier employees has been significant. We appreciate the patience, understanding and commitment exhibited by our current and separated colleagues," concluded Mr. Drummond.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

GAAP revenue totaled $627.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP revenue of $528.2 million and pro forma revenue of $648.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

GAAP net loss totaled $71.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP net loss of $82.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share and pro forma net loss of $106.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted net loss((2)) totaled $20.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to pro forma Adjusted net loss of $19.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019.

GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") totaled $56.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP SG&A((2)) of $42.7 million and pro forma SG&A of $70.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted SG&A totaled $47.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to pro forma Adjusted SG&A of $54.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $72.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $77.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

First Quarter 2020 Management Adjustments

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 includes management adjustments of approximately $51.6 million, consisting primarily of $34.3 million for impairment of assets including goodwill, $8.6 million of market adjustments, $5.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense, and $12.8 million of merger and integration costs, partially offset by a gain from the sale of the Well Support Services business of $8.0 million.

During the first quarter of 2020, energy equity markets deteriorated and negatively impacted our market capitalization, driven by significant declines in crude oil prices resulting from demand destruction from the COVID-19 pandemic and global oversupply. These factors were deemed triggering events which led to a test for goodwill impairment and prompted us to record a non-cash impairment charge of $32.6 million within our Completions Services and Well Construction and Intervention reporting units.

Completion Services

GAAP revenue in our Completion Services segment totaled $512.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP revenue of $440.3 million and pro forma revenue of $509.8 million for this segment in the fourth quarter of 2019. Increased utilization was offset by reduced prices in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in mostly unchanged revenue as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted Gross Profit totaled $97.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to Adjusted Gross Profit of $105.1 million and pro forma Adjusted Gross Profit of $105.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

When taking only fracturing and bundled wireline into account, annualized Adjusted Gross Profit per fully-utilized fracturing fleet totaled $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to annualized pro forma Adjusted Gross Profit per fully-utilized fracturing fleet of $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Well Construction and Intervention Services

GAAP revenue in our Well Construction and Intervention ("WC&I") Services segment, totaled $56.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP revenue of $39.4 million and pro forma revenue of $57.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net income totaled $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to pro forma net income of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Well Support Services

On March 9, 2020, the Company announced it had completed the divestiture of its Well Support Services segment. As a result, results for the first quarter of 2020 for this segment reflect operations from January 1, 2020 through the date of sale. Subsequent to this divestiture, the Company's reportable segments are (i) Completion Services and (ii) Well Construction and Intervention Services.

Adjusted Gross Profit totaled $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to Adjusted Gross Profit of $8.0 million and pro forma Adjusted Gross Profit of $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The sequential decrease in revenue was primarily driven by the divestiture of the Well Support Services business in early March 2020. Net income totaled $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to pro forma net income of $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2020 totaled $512.1 million, net of debt discounts and deferred finance costs and excluding lease obligations. As of March 31, 2020, total available liquidity was $590.8 million, comprised of cash and equivalents of $489.4 million, including asset-based credit facility borrowings of $175.0 million, and $101.4 million of available borrowing capacity under our asset-based credit facility.

Total operating cash flow was $48.5 million and cash flow used in investing activities was $39.3 million, resulting in free cash flow of $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding cash used for merger and integration related costs of $14.7 million, combined Adjusted free cash flow((2)) totaled $24.0 million in the first quarter of 2020.

On March 23, 2020, NexTier reduced and refined its 2020 total capital expenditures guidance, which it now expects to total between $100 million and $120 million, subject to market conditions. Capital expenditures in 2020 will be driven by strategic innovation investments and maintenance capital expenditures, and reflects a reduction of more than 50% at the midpoint versus the Company's previous outlook of $210 million. The Company continues to expect its 2020 capital expenditures to be weighted to the first half of 2020, driven by the delivery of certain strategic innovation investments, with second half of 2020 spending mainly driven by maintenance.

Integration Update

The Company is nearing completion of its integration program related to the merger between Keane and C&J, including the achievement of its targeted run-rate cost synergies of $125 million. Following the successful completion of its integration program, Greg Powell, Executive Vice President and Chief Integration Officer, announced his intention to resign from NexTier later this month.

Coronavirus Monitoring and Planning

The Company is monitoring the spread and impact of the coronavirus closely, and is implementing measures in accordance with local directives, as well as internal policies, to protect employees and limit business interruption. These measures include restriction on travel and employee contact in certain regions, employee education, enhanced customer and supplier communication, alternative sourcing, and other measures. The Company is also preparing mitigation plans for further or prolonged impact from the coronavirus.

                              Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is
                              presented to enhance comparability to the
                              prior quarter pre-merger operating results
                              by adjusting for the merger of Keane and C&J.





            (2)            The Company has included in this press release
                              certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of
                              which are calculated on a consolidated basis,
                              segment basis, product line basis, combined
                              basis or pro forma basis, including Adjusted
                              EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net
                              Income (loss), free cash flow, Adjusted free
                              cash flow, Adjusted SG&A and annualized
                              adjusted gross profit per fully-utilized
                              fracturing fleet.  These measurements provide
                              supplemental information which the Company
                              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 the
                              Company's ongoing operating performance, and
                              thereby facilitate review of the Company's
                              operating performance on a period-to-period
                              basis.  Other companies may have different
                              capital structures, and comparability to the
                              Company'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, the Company believes Adjusted
                              EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A
                              and Adjusted Net Income provide helpful
                              information to analysts and investors to
                              facilitate a comparison of its operating
                              performance to that of other companies.  The
                              Company believes free cash flow and Adjusted
                              free cash flow is important to investors in
                              that it provides a useful measure to assess
                              management's effectiveness in the areas of
                              profitability and capital management.
                              Annualized Gross Profit per fully-utilized
                              fracturing fleet is used to evaluate the
                              operating performance of the business line
                              for comparable periods, and the Company
                              believes it is important as an indicator of
                              operating performance of our fracturing and
                              bundled wireline product line because it
                              excludes the effects of the capital structure
                              and certain non-cash items from the product
                              line's operating results.  For a
                              reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures,
                              please see the tables at the end of this
                              press release.





            (3)            Non-GAAP Measure Definitions: 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 revenue
                              less cost of services, further adjusted to
                              eliminate items in cost of services that
                              management does not consider in assessing
                              ongoing performance. Adjusted Gross Profit at
                              the segment level is not considered to be a
                              non-GAAP financial measure as it is our
                              segment measure of profit or loss and is
                              required to be disclosed under GAAP pursuant
                              to ASC 280. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is
                              defined as net income (loss) plus the after-
                              tax amount of merger/transaction-related
                              costs and other non-routine items. Adjusted
                              SG&A is defined as selling, general and
                              administrative expenses adjusted for
                              severance and business divestiture costs,
                              merger/transaction-related costs, and other
                              non-routine items. Free cash flow is defined
                              as the net increase (decrease) in cash and
                              cash equivalents before financing activities,
                              including share repurchase activity. Adjusted
                              free cash flow adjusts free cash flow for
                              certain management adjustments. Annualized
                              Adjusted Gross Profit per fully-utilized
                              fleet, is a non-GAAP measure and is defined
                              as (i) revenue less cost of services
                              attributable to the fracturing and bundled
                              wireline product line, further adjusted to
                              eliminate items in cost of services that
                              management does not consider in assessing
                              ongoing performance for the fracturing and
                              bundled wireline product line, (ii) divided
                              by the fully-utilized fracturing and bundled
                              wireline fleets (average deployed fleets
                              multiplied by fleet utilization) per quarter,
                              and then (iii) multiplied by four.

The words "believe," "continue," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should," "may," "will," "would" or the negative thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Statements in this press release regarding the Company that are forward-looking, including projections as to the amount and timing of synergies from C&J merger and the Company's 2020 guidance and outlook information, are based on management's estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. These factors and risks include, but are not limited to, (i) the competitive nature of the industry in which the Company conducts its business, including pricing pressures; (ii) the ability to meet rapid demand shifts; (iii) the impact of pipeline capacity constraints and adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions; (iv) the ability to obtain or renew customer contracts and changes in customer requirements in the markets the Company serves; (v) the ability to identify, effect and integrate acquisitions, joint ventures or other transactions; (vi) the ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; (vii) the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on the Company's operations; (viii) the effect of a loss of, or interruption in operations of, one or more key suppliers, including resulting from product defects, recalls or suspensions; (ix) the variability of crude oil and natural gas commodity prices; (x) the market price and availability of materials or equipment; (xi) the ability to obtain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and third parties; (xii) the Company's ability to employ a sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers to combat the operating hazards inherent in the Company's industry; (xiii) fluctuations in the market price of the Company's stock; (xiv) the level of, and obligations associated with, the Company's indebtedness; (xv) the duration, impact and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the evolving response thereto, including the impact of social distancing, shelter-in-place, shutdowns of non-essential businesses and similar measures imposed or undertaken by governments, private businesses or others; and (xvi) other risk factors and additional information. In addition, material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; the prompt and effective integration of C&J's businesses into the Company and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated in connection with the merger. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including under the heading "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 5, 2019, both available on the SEC website or www.NexTierOFS.com. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which speak as of their respective dates, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued "forward-looking statement" constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

On October 31, 2019, Keane and C&J completed their business combination and concurrent with closing, Keane, as the parent company, was renamed NexTier. Keane was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the merger, and as a result, the historical financial statements of Keane, prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), for the periods prior to the merger are considered to be the historical financial statements of NexTier.

In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by segment, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in the following financial schedules. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of both Keane and C&J and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger, assuming the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2019. For all periods presented, adjustments have been made for (1) the preliminary acquisition accounting impact, (2) accounting policy alignment, and (3) the elimination of the impact from events that are directly attributable to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (e.g., non-routine merger and integration costs). The unaudited pro forma financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and accompanying notes contained in each of the Keane and C&J Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the applicable periods. The pro forma financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what NexTier's results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2019, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of NexTier. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any cost or growth synergies that NexTier may achieve as a result of the merger, future costs to combine the operations of Keane and C&J or the costs necessary to achieve any cost or growth synergies.
