ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This presentation may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential,"
"continue," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in the presentation include, without limitation,
forecasts of growth, revenues, business activity, adjusted EBITDA and pipeline expansion, and future benefits from UMO cost reductions, statements regarding possible
divestitures, timing of such divestitures, acquisitions, financings and other matters that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied by this presentation. Such risk factors include, among others: difficulties
encountered in acquiring and integrating businesses; uncertainties in evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for potential impairment; potential financial impact of litigation;
whether certain markets grow as anticipated; pricing pressures; risks associated with our indebtedness; low oil and or natural gas prices; changes in customer drilling activities
and capital expenditure plans; shifts in production into shale areas in which we currently do not have operations; control of costs and expenses; and the competitive and
regulatory environment. Additional risks and uncertainties are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as well as
the Company's other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at http://www.sec.gov/ as well as the Company's web site at
http://nuverra.com/. As a result of the foregoing considerations and the other limitations of non-GAAP measures described elsewhere herein, you are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:
This presentation 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 performance, and evaluates overall management 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 and other non-recurring charges, 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), adjusted net income (loss) per
share, and operating working capital, in addition to related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company’s
management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
