Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. NES ("Nuverra," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
- First quarter revenue was $42.6 million, a decrease of approximately 13.4%, or $6.6 million, when compared with revenue of $49.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
- When compared to the same period in the prior year, first quarter revenue decreased 14.2%, or $7.0 million.
- Net loss for the first quarter was $6.4 million as compared to $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $32.2 million in the first quarter of 2018.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $4.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million compared with $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter increased by $2.1 million over the same period in the prior year.
- Total liquidity available for capital spending and other purposes as of March 31, 2019 was $18.7 million.
"We continued to make progress in the first quarter on many of our important initiatives: improving operating efficiencies, reducing costs, implementing a centralized dispatch system in our Rocky Mountain division, expanding our services to include oil hauling and broadening customer coverage, to name a few. Adjusted EBITDA increased over the same period in 2018; however, revenues decreased due to particularly difficult weather in the first quarter of 2019 in some of our operating regions and the trend toward more use of lay flat temporary hose for fresh water delivery replacing trucking as a delivery service provider and increased competition for that service. We also saw a very competitive trucking market in our Northeast division due to a decrease in customer activity. We continue to focus on improving our service and had a strong quarter from a safety perspective. With better weather conditions in the second quarter, we are beginning to see improved activity, particularly in the Rocky Mountain division, and are working hard on expanding what we do with our larger customers," said Charlie Thompson, Chief Executive Officer.
FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS
First quarter revenue was $42.6 million, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 13.4%, from $49.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Of this 13.4% decrease, approximately 12.5% is attributable to decreases in activities and 0.9% to pricing decreases. We typically see a slow down in activity levels during the first quarter, as compared to the fourth quarter, due to weather conditions in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast divisions.
When compared to the first quarter of 2018, first quarter 2019 revenue decreased by 14.2%, or $7.0 million, primarily due to decreases in activity levels for water transfer services in the Rocky Mountain and Southern divisions, offset by increases in disposal services in all three divisions. In the first quarter of 2018, the Rocky Mountain division benefited from a number of large completion projects that utilized third-party drivers, which did not repeat during the current year resulting in the decline in revenue for the Rocky Mountain division. In the Southern division revenue decreased as a result of management's decision to exit the Eagle Ford Shale area as of March 1, 2018. The first quarter of 2018 included $2.1 million in revenues from the Eagle Ford Shale area prior to the exit. In the Northeast division, the acquisition of Clearwater Solutions in the fourth quarter of 2018 contributed revenues of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Total costs and expenses for the first quarter were $47.3 million. Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, were $47.3 million, or a $5.6 million decrease when compared with $52.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 due primarily to lower revenues from third-party drivers which have higher costs. Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, decreased 23.8% compared with $62.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of favorable product mix and active cost reduction efforts that started in 2018 and continued into 2019. The favorable product mix was driven by the reduction in lower margin third-party driver revenue, as well as growth in higher margin disposal services.
Net loss for the first quarter was $6.4 million, an improvement of $2.4 million when compared with a net loss of $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. For the first quarter of 2019, the Company reported a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $6.1 million. Special items in the first quarter primarily included gains on the sale of underutilized assets, stock-based compensation expense, and long-lived asset impairment charges. This compares with a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $4.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million compared with $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Of the 26.2% decline in adjusted EBITDA, 18.0% related to a decrease in activity levels, 7.3% related to a decrease in pricing and 0.9% related to corporate items. When compared to the first quarter in 2018, adjusted EBITDA increased $2.1 million, or 91.3%. The 91.3% net increase is comprised of a benefit of 136.9% for acquisitions/closures and 8.5% for corporate items, offset by 37.7% for decreases in pricing and 16.4% for decreases in activity levels. First quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.6%, compared with 12.4% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 4.7% in the first quarter of 2018.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.5 million, while asset sales net of capital expenditures provided proceeds of $39.0 thousand. Asset sales were related to unused or under-utilized assets. The proceeds have been reinvested in 2019 in returns-driven growth projects, including the purchase of new water transfer trucks for our fleet.
Total liquidity available for capital spending and other purposes as of March 31, 2019 was $18.7 million. This consisted of cash and available borrowings of $13.0 million, plus an additional $5.7 million delayed draw borrowing capacity under our second lien term loan. As of March 31, 2019, total debt outstanding was $36.3 million, consisting of $20.8 million under our senior secured term loan facility, $10.1 million under our second lien term loan facility, and $5.4 million of finance leases.

NON-GAAP
RECONCILIATIONS
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations or balance sheets of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company's ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business results, and evaluates overall performance with respect to such indicators. Management believes that excluding items such as acquisition expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, asset impairments, restructuring charges, expenses related to litigation and resolution of lawsuits, and other charges, which may or may not be non-recurring, among other items that are inconsistent in amount and frequency (as with acquisition expenses), or determined pursuant to complex formulas that incorporate factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control (as with stock-based compensation), for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of the Company's current operating performance and comparisons to the past and future operating performance. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per share, in addition to related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company's management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not necessarily be indicative of the Company's liquidity or ability to fund cash needs. Not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner, and our presentation may not be comparable to the presentations of other companies.
