BASIC ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2017 (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Basic” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with GAAP and financial statement requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
Emergence from Chapter 11
In connection with the Company’s emergence from its bankruptcy cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), on December 23, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, to its consolidated financial statements. We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective December 31, 2016, to coincide with the timing of our normal December accounting period close.
The implementation of the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (as confirmed, the "Prepackaged Plan") and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016 will not be comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016.
References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer to the Company on or after December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to December 31, 2016. Additionally, references to periods on or after December 31, 2016 refer to the Successor and references to periods prior to December 31, 2016 refer to the Predecessor.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2017, our primary capital resources were utilization of capital leases and borrowings under our $100.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “New ABL Facility”). As of September 30, 2017, we had $64.0 million in borrowings under the New ABL Facility. At September 30, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $43.2 million compared to $98.9 million as of December 31, 2016. An additional amount of $47.7 million is classified as restricted cash. We have utilized, and expect to utilize in the future, bank and capital lease financing and sales of equity to obtain capital resources. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.
On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the New ABL Facility. Among other things, Amendment No. 1 (i) increased the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement from $100 million to $120 million, (ii) appointed CIT Bank, N.A. to serve as syndication agent and (iii) added new lenders and amended the commitment schedule to the Credit Agreement.
Nature of Operations
Basic provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, water logistics, well servicing and contract drilling. These services are primarily provided using Basic’s fleet of equipment. Basic’s operations are concentrated in the major United States onshore oil and gas producing regions in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Wyoming, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, California, the Rocky Mountains and Appalachia.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Basic has no variable interest in any non-consolidated organization, entity, partnership or contract. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are those in which significant judgment is used, and the impact of any changes in estimates would have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may vary from management's estimates and assumptions. Examples of critical accounting estimates and assumptions include:
•Assets lives used to determine depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets;
•Fair value of property and equipment and intangible assets;
•Allowance for doubtful accounts;
•Litigation and self-insured risk reserves;
•Stock-based compensation; and
•Potential outcome of income tax events that have been recognized on our consolidated financial statements or returns.

On September 29, 2017, Basic terminated its $75 million credit facility and entered into the New ABL Facility pursuant to (i) a Receivables Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) entered into by and among Basic Energy Services, L.P. (“BES LP”), as the initial originator and Basic Energy Receivables, LLC (the “SPE”), as the transferee and (ii) the Credit Agreement.
Under the Transfer Agreement, BES LP will sell or contribute, on an ongoing basis, its accounts receivable and related security and interests in the proceeds thereof (the “Transferred Receivables”) to the SPE. The SPE will finance a portion of its purchase of the accounts receivable through borrowings, on a revolving basis, of up to $100 million (with the ability to request an increase in the size of the New ABL Facility by $50 million) under the Credit Agreement, and such borrowings will be secured by the accounts receivable. The SPE will finance its purchase of the remaining portion of the accounts receivable by issuing subordinated promissory notes to BES LP and/or by contributing the remaining portion of the accounts receivables in exchange for equity in the SPE in the amount of the purchase price of the receivable not paid in cash. BES LP will be responsible for the servicing, administration and collection of the accounts receivable, with all collections going into lockbox accounts. The Company has provided a customary guaranty of performance to the administrative agent with respect to certain obligations of BES LP and any successor servicer under the New ABL Facility. In connection with entering into the New ABL Facility, on September 29, 2017, the Company amended the Term Loan Agreement to permit, among other things, (i) the acquisition of the Transferred Receivables by the SPE pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, free and clear of the liens under the Term Loan Agreement and (ii) the transactions contemplated under each of the Transfer Agreement and Credit Agreement. The Company consolidates the foregoing entities, and all intercompany activity is eliminated upon consolidation.
On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1. Among other things, Amendment No. 1 (i) increased the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement from $100 million to $120 million, (ii) appointed CIT Bank, N.A. to serve as syndication agent and (iii) added new lenders and amended the commitment schedule to the Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2017, Basic had $45.2 million of letters of credit outstanding secured by restricted cash borrowed under the New ABL Facility. Basic had borrowings under the New ABL Facility of $64.0 million as of September 30, 2017, giving Basic $30.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the New ABL Facility.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
| Fair Value | September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 |
| Hierarchy Level | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value |
| (In thousands) |
| Term Loan | 3 | $ | 153,180 | $ | 157,016 | $ | 152,838 | $ | 152,838 |

The fair value of the Term Loan Agreement is based upon our discounted cash flows model using a third-party discount rate. The carrying amount of our New ABL Facility approximates fair value due to its variable-rate characteristics.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable-related parties, capital leases, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
Basic is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. Basic cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. Basic continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Management believes that the likelihood of any of these items resulting in a material adverse impact to Basic’s financial position, liquidity, capital resources or future results of operations is remote.
Currently, Basic has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to bring Basic into total compliance with the laws and regulations. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of Basic’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Litigation
From time to time, Basic is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that Basic considers to be a part of the ordinary course of business. Basic is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it considers probable or reasonably possible, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Self-Insured Risk Accruals
Basic is self-insured up to retention limits as it relates to workers’ compensation, general liability claims, and medical and dental coverage of its employees. Basic generally maintains no physical property damage coverage on its workover rig fleet, with the exception of certain of its 24-hour workover rigs and newly manufactured rigs. Basic has deductibles per occurrence for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, automobile liability and medical coverage of $5.0 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $400,000, respectively. Basic maintains accruals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" represents a comprehensive revenue recognition standard to supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and align GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to match the delivery of goods or services to customers to the consideration the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for two transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented subject to certain practical expedients, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, and which includes additional disclosures regarding the change in accounting principle in the current period. We plan to adopt the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior period presented.
The standard will be effective for Basic beginning January 1, 2018. In preparation to adopt the standard, we are performing a detailed review of key contracts with customers which are representative of our revenue streams. While we are still in the process of performing the review and analysis of our contracts to support our assessments, the substantial majority of our services are performed at a point in time, revenue is recognized at the time of performance, and this is expected remain unchanged. We do not incur significant contract costs.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - “Leases (Topic 842).” The purpose of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for Basic in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Basic has begun a project to identify all operating leases greater than one year and implementing new leasing software to track operating and capital leases. Basic expects to recognize additional right-of-use assets and liabilities related to operating leases with terms longer than one year.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15-"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standard is effective for Basic for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The
17
amendments in this update are intended to clarify cash flow treatment of certain cash flows with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.
In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18- "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which clarifies the treatment of cash inflows into and cash payments from restricted cash. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The amendments of this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Overview
We provide a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, well servicing, water logistics and contract drilling. Our emergence from bankruptcy, and various market fluctuations, may make our revenues, expenses and income not directly comparable between periods.
Our total hydraulic horsepower (“hhp”) increased to 523,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2017 compared to 444,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Weighted average horsepower increased to 520,000 for the third quarter of 2017 from 444,000 in the third quarter of 2016. Our weighted average number of water logistics trucks decreased to 947 in the third quarter of 2017 from 962 in the third quarter of 2016. Our weighted average number of well servicing rigs remained constant at 421 during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.
Our operating revenues from each of our segments, and their relative percentages of our total revenues, consisted of the following (dollars in millions):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 |
| 2017 | 2016 |
| (Successor) | (Predecessor) |
| Revenues: |
| Completion and remedial services | $ | 311.5 | 50 | % | $ | 125.3 | 32 | % |
| Water logistics | $ | 153.3 | 24 | % | $ | 142.9 | 36 | % |
| Well servicing | $ | 156.3 | 25 | % | $ | 118.9 | 31 | % |
| Contract drilling | $ | 7.7 | 1 | % | $ | 4.8 | 1 | % |
| Total revenues | $ | 628.8 | 100 | % | $ | 392.0 | 100 | % |

During the fourth quarter of 2015, oil prices declined to levels below $50 per barrel (WTI Cushing) and dropped to levels below $30 in early 2016 before rebounding in late 2016. During 2017, oil prices gradually improved with pricing in the low-$50 range by the end of the third quarter. As a result of the overall increase in pricing, our customers’ activity levels and utilization of our equipment have gradually improved. General improvement in customer confidence has caused the North American onshore drilling rig count to slowly rise, resulting in an increase in completion-related activity during the first nine months of 2017. Additionally, production related activities, such as well servicing and water logistics, have seen increases in utilization as customers have enhanced their maintenance and workover budgets in 2017.
As a result of gradual improvements in oil pricing and high concentration of equipment and activity, utilization and pricing for our services have remained competitive in our oil-based operating areas. Natural gas prices have been depressed for a prolonged period and utilization and pricing for our services in our natural gas-based operating areas have remained challenged.
We believe that the most important performance measures for our business segments are as follows:
| • | Completion and Remedial Services — segment profits as a percent of revenues; |

| • | Well Servicing — rig hours, rig utilization rate, revenue per rig hour, profits per rig hour and segment profits as a percent of revenues; |

| • | Water Logistics — trucking hours, revenue per truck, segment profits per truck and segment profits as a percent of revenues; and |

| • | Contract Drilling — rig operating days, revenue per drilling day, profits per drilling day and segment profits as a percent of revenues. |

Segment profits are computed as segment operating revenues less direct operating costs. These measurements provide important information to us about the activity and profitability of our lines of business. For a detailed analysis of these indicators for the Company, see “Segment Overview” below.
Selected Acquisitions and Divestitures
During the year ended December 31, 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017, we did not enter into or complete any business acquisitions or divestitures.
19
Segment Overview
Completion and Remedial Services
During the first nine months of 2017, our completion and remedial services segment represented approximately 50% of our revenues. Revenues from our completion and remedial services segment are generally derived from a variety of services designed to complete and stimulate new oil and natural gas production or place cement slurry within the wellbores. Our completion and remedial services segment includes pumping services, rental and fishing tool operations, coiled tubing services, nitrogen services, snubbing and other services.
Our pumping services provide both large and mid-sized fracturing services in selected markets, including vertical and horizontal wellbores. Cementing and acidizing services also are included in our pumping services operations. Our total hydraulic horsepower capacity for our pumping operations was 523,000 at September 30, 2017 and 444,000 at September 30, 2016, respectively. Weighted average horsepower increased to 520,000 for the third quarter of 2017 from 444,000 in the third quarter of 2016.
In this segment, we derive our revenues on a project-by-project basis in a competitive bidding process. Our bids are based on the amount and type of equipment and personnel required, with the materials consumed billed separately. During the extended period of decreased spending by oil and gas companies in 2015 and 2016, we discounted our rates to remain competitive, which caused lower segment profits. As activity has improved in the first nine months of 2017, we have regained pricing increases and higher utilization of equipment.
The following is an analysis of our completion and remedial services segment for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):
| Segment |
| Revenues | Profits % |
| 2016: (Predecessor) |
| First Quarter | $ | 39,696 | 12 | % |
| Second Quarter | $ | 36,228 | 9 | % |
| Third Quarter | $ | 49,424 | 18 | % |
| Fourth Quarter | $ | 59,219 | 14 | % |
| Full Year | $ | 184,567 | 14 | % |
| 2017: (Successor) |
| First Quarter | $ | 80,431 | 16 | % |
| Second Quarter | $ | 107,385 | 24 | % |
| Third Quarter | $ | 123,650 | 32 | % |

The increase in completion and remedial services revenue to $123.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $107.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from the addition of new equipment and higher prices in our coil tubing and fracing operations. Segment profits as a percentage of revenue increased to 32% in the third quarter of 2017 from 24% in second quarter of 2017 on the incremental effect of higher revenues and improved pricing and utilization of our equipment.
Water Logistics
During the first nine months of 2017, our water logistics segment represented approximately 24% of our revenues. Revenues in our water logistics segment are earned from the sale, transportation, treatment, recycling, storage, and disposal of fluids used in the drilling, production and maintenance of oil and natural gas wells. Revenues also include well site construction and maintenance services. The water logistics segment has a base level of business consisting of transporting and disposing of salt water produced as a by-product of the production of oil and natural gas. These services are necessary for our customers and usually have a stable demand, but produce lower relative segment profits than other parts of our water logistics segment. Water logistics for completion and workover projects require fresh or brine water for making drilling mud, circulating fluids or frac fluids used during a job, and all of these fluids require storage tanks and hauling and disposal. Because we can provide a full complement of fluid sales, trucking, storage and disposal required on most drilling and workover projects, the add-on services associated with drilling and workover activity generally enable us to generate higher segment profits. The higher segment profits for these add-on services are due to the relatively small incremental labor costs associated with providing these services in addition to our base water logistics segment. Revenues from our water treatment and recycling services include the treatment, recycling and disposal of wastewater, including frac water and flowback, to reuse this water in the completion and production processes. Revenues from our well site construction services are derived primarily from preparing and maintaining
20
well locations, access roads to well locations, and installing small diameter gathering lines and pipelines, constructing foundations to support drilling rigs and providing maintenance services for oil and natural gas facilities. We price water logistics by the job, by the hour, or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.
The following is an analysis of our water logistics operations for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):
| Weighted | Segment |
| Average | Revenue | Profits Per |
| Number of | Per Water | Water |
| Water Logistics | Trucking | Logistics | Logistics | Segment |
| Trucks | Hours | Truck | Truck | Profits % |
| 2016: (Predecessor) |
| First Quarter | 985 | 521,500 | $ | 51 | $ | 10 | 18 | % |
| Second Quarter | 976 | 474,400 | $ | 47 | $ | 7 | 15 | % |
| Third Quarter | 962 | 499,900 | $ | 49 | $ | 8 | 17 | % |
| Fourth Quarter | 944 | 503,200 | $ | 52 | $ | 7 | 13 | % |
| Full Year | 966 | 1,999,000 | $ | 199 | $ | 31 | 16 | % |
| 2017: (Successor) |
| First Quarter | 935 | 484,300 | $ | 54 | $ | 9 | 17 | % |
| Second Quarter | 943 | 473,500 | $ | 54 | $ | 10 | 18 | % |
| Third Quarter | 947 | 483,300 | $ | 55 | $ | 12 | 21 | % |

Revenue per water logistics truck increased to $55,000 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $54,000 in second quarter of 2017 on increased levels of disposal well utilization and construction services revenues. Segment profit percentage increased to 21% in the third quarter of 2017 from 18% in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to the incremental effect of higher revenues and rate increases.
Well Servicing
During the first nine months of 2017, our well servicing segment represented 25% of our revenues. Revenue in our well servicing segment is derived from maintenance, workover, completion, manufacturing, and plugging and abandonment services. We provide maintenance-related services as part of the normal, periodic upkeep of producing oil and natural gas wells. Maintenance-related services represent a relatively consistent component of our business. Workover and completion services generate more revenue per hour than maintenance work due to the use of auxiliary equipment, but demand for workover and completion services fluctuates more with the overall activity level in the industry. We also have a rig manufacturing and servicing facility that builds new workover rigs, performs large-scale refurbishments of used workover rigs and provides maintenance services on previously manufactured rigs.
We charge our well servicing rig customers for services on an hourly basis at rates that are determined by the type of service and equipment required, market conditions in the region in which the rig operates, the ancillary equipment provided on the rig and the necessary personnel. Depending on the type of job, we may also charge by the project or by the day. We measure the activity levels of our well servicing rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a 55-hour work week per rig. Our fleet remained constant in 2016 and 2017 at a weighted average number of 421 rigs.

The following is an analysis of our well servicing operations for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):
| Weighted |
| Average | Rig | Revenue |
| Number | Utilization | Per Rig | Profits Per |
| of Rigs | Rig hours | Rate | Hour | Rig hour | Profits % |
| 2016: (Predecessor) |
| First Quarter | 421 | 108,400 | 36 | % | $ | 321 | $ | 44 | 11 | % |
| Second Quarter | 421 | 113,700 | 38 | % | $ | 308 | $ | 44 | 14 | % |
| Third Quarter | 421 | 136,600 | 45 | % | $ | 313 | $ | 60 | 19 | % |
| Fourth Quarter | 421 | 146,200 | 49 | % | $ | 300 | $ | 43 | 14 | % |
| Full Year | 421 | 504,900 | 42 | % | $ | 310 | $ | 47 | 14 | % |
| 2017: (Successor) |
| First Quarter | 421 | 157,600 | 52 | % | $ | 307 | $ | 49 | 16 | % |

| Third Quarter | 421 | 165,200 | 55 | % | $ | 329 | $ | 69 | 21 | % |

Rig utilization was 55% in the third quarter of 2017, up from 54% in the second quarter of 2017. The higher utilization rate in the third quarter of 2017 resulted from an increase in well servicing hours caused by increases in customer demand and activity in selected basins offset by significant weather, including Hurricane Harvey. Our segment profit percentage remained constant at 21% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017, on consistent levels of utilization and pricing.
Contract Drilling
During the first nine months of 2017, our contract drilling segment represented approximately 1% of our revenues. Revenues from our contract drilling segment are derived primarily from the drilling of new wells.
Within this segment, we charge our drilling rig customers a “daywork” daily rate, or “footage” at an established rate per number of feet drilled. We measure the activity level of our drilling rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a seven-day work week per rig. Our contract drilling rig fleet had a weighted average of 11 rigs during the third quarter of 2017.
The following is an analysis of our contract drilling segment for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):
| Weighted |
| Average | Rig |
| Number of | Operating | Revenue Per | Profits Per | Segment |
| Rigs | Days | Drilling Day | Drilling Day | Profits % |
| 2016: (Predecessor) |
| First Quarter | 12 | 91 | $ | 16.5 | $ | (0.6 | ) | (4 | )% |
| Second Quarter | 12 | 91 | $ | 16.1 | $ | 1.0 | 6 | % |
| Third Quarter | 12 | 92 | $ | 20.1 | $ | 1.8 | 9 | % |
| Fourth Quarter | 12 | 139 | $ | 17.5 | $ | 0.8 | (2 | )% |
| Full Year | 12 | 413 | $ | 17.5 | $ | 0.8 | 2 | % |
| 2017: (Successor) |
| First Quarter | 12 | 135 | $ | 20.5 | $ | 2.6 | 13 | % |
| Second Quarter | 11 | 91 | $ | 23.3 | $ | 2.8 | 12 | % |
| Third Quarter | 11 | 92 | $ | 31.0 | $ | 3.3 | 11 | % |

Revenue per drilling day increased to $31,000 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $23,300 in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in revenue per drilling day in the third quarter of 2017 was due to an increase in rig trucking revenues and utilization. Segment profit percentage decreased to 11% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to segment profit of 12% in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating Cost Overview
Our operating costs are comprised primarily of labor, including workers’ compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance. The majority of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our fleet. These costs, however, are not directly tied to our level of business activity. Repair and maintenance is performed by our crews, company maintenance personnel and outside service providers. Compensation for our administrative personnel in local operating yards and in our corporate office is accounted for as general and administrative expenses. Insurance is generally a fixed cost regardless of utilization and relates to the number of rigs, trucks and other equipment in our fleet, employee payroll and safety record.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations of the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The implementation of the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016 will not be comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016. For additional segment-related information and trends, please read “Segment Overview” above.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenues. Revenues increased by 65% to $233.5 million during the third quarter of 2017 from $141.6 million during the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to increased demand for our services by our customers, particularly completion and remedial services, compared to the same period in 2016, when our customers were working with reduced capital budgets. After a prolonged period of lower oil prices, our customers have gradually increased their capital and operating spending levels.
Completion and remedial services revenues increased by 150% to $123.7 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $49.4 million in the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue between these periods was primarily due to improved demand for completion related activities and slightly improved pricing for our services, particularly in our pumping services and coil tubing lines of business. Total hydraulic horsepower increased to 523,000 at September 30, 2017 from 444,000 at September 30, 2016 primarily due to the acquisition of 74,000 HHP and two newbuild coiled tubing units which came online during the third quarter of 2017. Weighted average horsepower increased to 520,000 for the third quarter of 2017 from 444,000 in the third quarter of 2016.
Water logistics revenues increased by 11% to $52.3 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $47.2 million in the same period in 2016. Our revenue per water logistics truck increased 12% to $55,000 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $49,000 in the same period in 2016 mainly due to increases in trucking activity, disposal utilization and pricing. Our weighted average number of water logistics trucks decreased to 947 during the third quarter of 2017 compared to 962 in the same period in 2016.
Well servicing revenues increased by 27% to $54.6 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $43.2 million during the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by an increase in utilization of our equipment, primarily due to increases in customer demand. Our weighted average number of well servicing rigs remained constant at 421 during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016. Utilization increased to 55% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 45% in the comparable quarter of 2016. Revenue per rig hour in the third quarter of 2017 was $329, increasing from $313 in the comparable quarter of 2016 due to rate increases to customers.
Contract drilling revenues increased by 54% to $2.8 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2016. The number of rig operating days remained constant at 92 in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in drilling activity and rig trucking activity in the Permian Basin.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which primarily consist of labor, including workers’ compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance, increased to $171.5 million during the third quarter of 2017
23
from $116.3 million in the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in activity and corresponding increases in employee headcount and wages to adapt to current activity levels.
Direct operating expenses for the completion and remedial services segment increased by 110% to $84.5 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $40.3 million for the same period in 2016 due primarily to increased activity levels overall, especially in our pumping and coil tubing services. Segment profits increased to 32% of revenues during the third quarter of 2017 compared to 18% for the same period in 2016, due to the improved utilization of equipment, price increases and incremental margins from a higher revenue base.
Direct operating expenses for the water logistics segment increased by 5% to $41.3 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $39.3 million for the same period in 2016, mainly due to activity levels improving in 2017. Segment profits were 21% of revenues during the third quarter of 2017 compared to 17% for the same period in 2016, due to an increase in incremental margins from a higher revenue base.
Direct operating expenses for the well servicing segment increased by 23% to $43.2 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in direct operating expenses corresponds to increased workover and plugging activity levels. Segment profits increased to 21% of revenues during the third quarter of 2017 compared to 19% of revenues during the third quarter of 2016 due to improved utilization of our equipment, price increases and incremental margins from a higher revenue base.

Segment profits increased to 11% of revenues during the third quarter of 2017 from a segment profit of 9% during the third quarter of 2016 due to an increase in pricing.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 31% to $39.2 million during the third quarter of 2017 from $30.1 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was partially due to stock-based compensation expense, which was $5.9 million and $2.2 million during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, during the third quarter of 2017 legal and professional fees related to due diligence on corporate development activities totaled $3.7 million.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $29.5 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $53.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the revaluation of our asset base as of December 31, 2016 as part of the adoption of the fresh start accounting associated with our emergence from bankruptcy.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $8.9 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $24.0 million during the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to the cancellation of our unsecured notes as part of our emergence from bankruptcy.
Income Tax Benefit. There was an income tax benefit of $1.7 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to an income tax benefit of $1,000 for the same period in 2016. The $1.7 million tax benefit in 2017 resulted from the Company’s decision to accelerate unused alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards in accordance with the 2015 Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, resulting in expected tax refunds of $1.7 million. Excluding the impact of the valuation allowance, our effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016 was approximately 36%.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenues. Revenues increased by 60% to $628.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $392.0 million during the same period in 2016.

Excluding the impact of the valuation allowance, our effective tax rate during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately 36%.
25
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2017, our primary capital resources were utilization of capital leases and borrowings under our $100.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “New ABL Facility”), and from net cash provided by operations. As of September 30, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $43.2 million compared to $98.9 million as of December 31, 2016. An additional amount of $47.7 million is classified as restricted cash to collateralize insurance reserves. We have utilized, and expect to utilize in the future, bank and capital lease financing and sales of equity to obtain capital resources. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase compared to cash used in operating activities of $71.8 million during the same period in 2016. Operating cash flow provided in the first nine months of 2017 improved compared to cash used in the same period in 2016 due to stronger operating results and working capital levels.
Our liquidity, including our ability to meet our ongoing operational obligations, is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand and generate cash flow from operations. Maintaining adequate liquidity depends upon industry conditions and financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. In the event that cash on hand and cash flow from operations is not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may have limited access to additional financing.
Capital Expenditures
Cash capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2017 were $57.0 million compared to $22.9 million in the same period of 2016. Cash capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $48.3 million, with an additional $8.7 million of accrued capital expenditures. We added $61.0 million of leased assets through our capital lease program and other financing arrangements during the first nine months of 2017 compared to $5.2 million of leased asset additions in the same period in 2016.
We currently have planned capital expenditures for the full year of 2017 of under $135.0 million, including capital leases of $70.0 million. We do not budget acquisitions in the normal course of business, and we regularly engage in discussions related to potential acquisitions related to the oilfield services industry.
Capital Resources and Financing
Our current primary capital resources are cash flow from our operations, our New ABL Facility, the ability to enter into capital leases, and a cash balance of $43.2 million at September 30, 2017. We had $64.0 million of borrowings under the New ABL Facility as of September 30, 2017, of which $45.2 million of cash is held in restricted cash as collateral for letters of credit, giving us approximately $30.9 million of available borrowing capacity subject to covenant constraints under our New ABL Facility. In 2017, we financed activities in excess of cash flow from operations primarily through the use of cash, capital leases and other financing arrangements. Our Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") had $162.9 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans as of September 30, 2017.
On April 13, 2017, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering up to $1 billion of securities. In August 2017, Basic commenced an at-the-market public offering (the "ATM Program"), under which it could have sold shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of $50 million. Basic terminated the ATM Program on September 30, 2017.
Contractual Obligations
We have significant contractual obligations in the future that will require capital resources. Our primary contractual obligations are (1) our capital leases, (2) our operating leases, (3) our asset retirement obligations, and (4) our other long-term liabilities. The following table outlines our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2017 (in thousands):
26

| Total | $ | 354,877 | $ | 14,890 | $ | 89,634 | $ | 247,414 | $ | 2,939 |

Interest on long-term debt relates to our future contractual interest obligations under the Term Loan Agreement, the New ABL Facility and our capital leases. Our capital leases relate primarily to light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and trailers. Our operating leases relate primarily to real estate. Our asset retirement obligation relates to disposal wells.
Our ability to access additional sources of financing will be dependent on our operating cash flows and demand for our services, which could be negatively impacted due to the extreme volatility of commodity prices.

Question: If the company wants to pay off all its long-term debt using its cash and cash equivalents, how much would still remain to be paid off as of September 30, 2017 in millions?

Python solution:
def solution():
     #Define variables name and value

    long_term_debt = 269330  # $'000

    cash_and_cash_equivalents = 43168  # $'000

    #Do math calculation to get the answer
    remaining_to_be_paid = long_term_debt - cash_and_cash_equivalents  # in $'000
    answer = remaining_to_be_paid / 1000  # in $ millions
    return answer


Answer: 226.162
