C&J ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in Texas in 1997. Through its subsidiaries, the Company operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and other well stimulation services through its Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and cased-hole wireline, pumpdown and other complementary services through its Wireline Services segment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. With the development of a specialty chemicals business and strategic acquisitions during 2013, the Company now blends and supplies specialty chemicals for completion and production services, and also manufactures and provides downhole tools and related directional drilling technology and data acquisition and control systems through its Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment. These products are provided to third-party customers in the energy services industry and are also used in the Company’s operations and equipment. In addition, the Company manufactures, refurbishes and repairs equipment and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry through its Equipment Manufacturing segment. The Company also fulfills its internal equipment demands through this segment. See “Note 6 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments. As used herein, references to the “Company” or “C&J” are to C&J Energy Services, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including C&J International B.V. and C&J International Middle East FZCO.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 is derived from consolidated financial statements audited by the Company’s predecessor auditor. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation have been included.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, inventory reserves, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash is defined as cash on-hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured amounts. Management believes that this risk is not significant.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers and are ordinarily due within 30-45 days of receipt of invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future.

Inventories. Inventories for the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and the Wireline Services segment consist of finished goods and raw materials, including equipment components, chemicals, proppants, supplies and materials for the segments’ operations. Inventories for the Equipment Manufacturing segment consist of raw materials and work-in-process, including equipment components, supplies and materials. See “Note 6 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis and appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is complete or the equipment has been delivered to the customer, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, as follows:

Hydraulic Fracturing Revenue. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. Under either scenario, revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is written that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals and proppants consumed during the course of service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of equipment to the location, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous consumables.

Historically, most of the Company’s hydraulic fracturing services were performed under long-term “take-or-pay” contracts, the last of which expired in February 2014. Under these legacy term contracts, customers were typically obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services were actually used. To the extent customers used more than the specified contracted minimums, the Company would be paid a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services.

Pursuant to pricing agreements and other contractual arrangements which the Company may enter into from time to time, such as those associated with an award from a bid process, customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels based on a specified number of hours of service at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted upon the agreement of both parties.

Rates for services performed on a spot market basis are based on an agreed-upon hourly spot market rate for a specified number of hours of service.

Coiled Tubing and Other Well Stimulation Revenue. The Company provides coiled tubing and other well stimulation services, including nitrogen, pressure pumping and thru-tubing services, primarily on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the mobilization of equipment to the location, the service performed, the personnel on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and miscellaneous consumables used throughout the course of service. The Company typically charges the customer for these services and resources on an hourly basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.

Revenue from Materials Consumed While Performing Services. The Company generates revenue from chemicals, proppants and other materials that are consumed while performing hydraulic fracturing services. For services performed on a spot market basis, the required consumables are typically provided by the Company and the customer is billed for those consumables at cost plus an agreed-upon markup. For services performed on a contractual basis, when the consumables are provided by the Company, the customer typically is billed for those consumables at a negotiated contractual rate. When consumables are supplied by the customer, the Company typically charges handling fees based on the amount of consumables used.

In addition, ancillary to coiled tubing and other well stimulation services revenue, the Company generates revenue from various fluids and materials used during those processes.

Wireline Revenue. The Company provides cased-hole wireline, pumpdown and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery and pressure testing services on a spot market basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized when the services and equipment are provided and the job is completed. The Company typically charges the customer on a per job basis for these services at agreed-upon spot market rates.

Equipment Manufacturing Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to construct new equipment, refurbish and repair equipment and provide oilfield parts and supplies to third-party customers in the energy services industry. Revenue is recognized and the customer is invoiced upon the completion and delivery of each order to the customer.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans provide the ability to grant equity awards to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors. As of June 30, 2014, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock had been granted under such plans. The Company values option grants based on the grant date fair value by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and values restricted stock grants based on the closing price of C&J’s common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements and the related accounting treatment can be found in “Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate their fair value, as the interest rates approximate market rates.

Equity Method Investments. The Company has an investment in a joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, from the consolidated financial results.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense.

The effective tax rate was 39.3% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2014 as compared to 36.2% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower pre-tax book income, which caused permanent differences between book and taxable income and state income taxes to have a higher proportionate impact on the calculation of the effective tax rate, partially offset by the recognition of tax benefits for federal and state tax credits.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“common shares”) outstanding during the applicable period and excludes shares subject to outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock.

The following is a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the applicable periods:

Note 2 - Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

Credit Facility

On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit agreement which, as amended on June 5, 2012, has a borrowing base of $400.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The aggregate amount by which the Company may periodically increase commitments through incremental facilities is $100.0 million, the sublimit for letters of credit is $200.0 million and the sublimit for Swing Line Loans is $25.0 million. Loans under the Credit Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars and will mature on April 19, 2016. Outstanding loans bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, at the Company’s election, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA for the Company on a consolidated basis. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2014, $261.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, along with $2.0 million in letters of credit, leaving $137.0 million available for borrowing. All obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, other than immaterial subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2014 was 2.8%.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants including financial reporting, governance and notification requirements. The covenants require the Company to maintain, measured on a consolidated basis, (1) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (2) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00. Among other restrictions, the Company is unable to issue dividends under the terms of the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2014.

Capitalized terms used in this “Note 2 – Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” but not defined herein are defined in the Credit Facility.

Capital Lease Obligations

In 2013, the Company entered into “build-to-suit” lease agreements for the construction of its new research and technology facility and its new corporate headquarters. Each lease is accounted for as a capital lease. The lease for the research and technology facility commenced upon completion of construction in October 2013, creating a capital lease obligation of $13.5 million. The lease for the corporate headquarters facility commenced upon completion of construction in March 2014, creating a capital lease obligation of $25.6 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $36.6 million in long-term capital lease obligations associated with the new research and technology facility and corporate headquarters.

The Company leases certain service equipment, with the intent to purchase, under non-cancelable capital leases. The terms of these contracts range from three to four years with varying payment dates throughout each month.

Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation

The C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”) provides for the grant of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The following types of awards are available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP: incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, phantom stock units, performance awards and share awards. To date, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock have been awarded under the 2012 LTIP.

A total of 4.3 million shares of common stock were authorized and approved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off, split-up, issuance of warrants, rights or debentures, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, cash dividend, property dividend, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar corporate event or transaction. This number of shares may also increase due to the termination of an award granted under the 2012 LTIP, or under the Company’s Prior Plans (as defined below), by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the shares of common stock. Approximately 2.6 million shares were available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP as of June 30, 2014.

Prior to the approval of the 2012 LTIP, all stock-based awards granted to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors were granted under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”), and prior to December 23, 2010, all stock-based awards were granted under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan” and, together with the 2010 Plan, the “Prior Plans”). Only nonqualified stock options were awarded under the Prior Plans. Effective as of December 23, 2010 and May 29, 2012, respectively, no additional awards will be granted under the 2006 Plan and the 2010 Plan.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option award granted under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For options granted prior to the Company’s initial public offering, which closed on August 3, 2011, the calculation of the Company’s stock price involved the use of different valuation techniques, including a combination of an income and/or market approach. Determination of the fair value was a matter of judgment and often involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Additionally, due to the Company’s lack of historical volume of option activity, the expected term of options granted is derived using the “plain vanilla” method. In addition, expected volatilities have been based on comparable public company data, with consideration given to the Company’s limited historical data. The Company makes estimates with respect to employee termination and forfeiture rates of the options within the valuation model. The risk-free rate is based on the approximate U.S. Treasury yield rate in effect at the time of grant. No stock options were granted by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 5.1 million options outstanding to employees and non-employee directors. Option awards granted under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date and generally vest over three years of continuous service with one-third vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock is valued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, approximately 0.8 million shares of restricted stock were granted to employees and non-employee directors under the 2012 LTIP at fair market values ranging from $22.65 to $29.03 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, 0.7 million shares of restricted stock were granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors under the 2012 LTIP at fair market values ranging from $19.79 to $23.69 per share.

To the extent permitted by law, the recipient of an award of restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the underlying shares of common stock, including the right to vote the common shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions made with respect to the common shares. Dividends on restricted stock will be deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed on the shares and will be held by the Company for the account of the recipient (either in cash or to be reinvested in shares of restricted stock) until such time. Payment of the deferred dividends and accrued interest, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions on the shares of restricted stock, and any dividends deferred in respect of any shares of restricted stock shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such shares of restricted stock. The Company has not issued dividends.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 1.4 million restricted shares outstanding to employees and non-employee directors. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2012 LTIP generally vest over a three-year period from the grant date.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations.

Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated 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 maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.

Litigation

The Company is, and from time to time may be, involved in claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Because there are inherent uncertainties in the ultimate outcome of such matters, it is presently not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of any pending or potential claims or litigation against the Company; however, management believes that the outcome of those matters that are presently known to the Company will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 6 - Segment Information

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 280 Segment Reporting, the Company routinely evaluates whether it has separate operating and reportable segments. The Company has determined that it operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. This determination is made based on the following factors: (1) the Company’s chief operating decision maker is currently managing each segment as a

separate business and evaluating the performance of each segment and making resource allocation decisions distinctly and expects to do so for the foreseeable future, and (2) discrete financial information for each segment is available. The following is a brief description of the Company’s three segments:

Stimulation and Well Intervention Services. This segment has two related service lines providing hydraulic fracturing services and coiled tubing and other well stimulation services. Additionally, with the development of a specialty chemicals business and strategic acquisitions during 2013, the Company now blends and supplies specialty chemicals for completion and production services, and also manufactures and provides downhole tools and related directional drilling technology and data acquisition and control systems. These products are provided to third-party customers in the energy services industry and are also used in the Company’s operations and equipment.

Wireline Services. This segment provides cased-hole wireline, pumpdown and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery and pressure testing services on a spot market basis. Beginning on May 30, 2014 the results of Tiger Casedhole Services, Inc. (“Tiger”) are included in this segment. See “Note 7 – Mergers and Acquisitions” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the Tiger Acquisition.

Equipment Manufacturing. This segment manufactures, refurbishes and repairs equipment and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry, as well as to fulfill the internal equipment demands of the Company’s Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments.

The following tables set forth certain financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable segments. Included in “Corporate and Other” are intersegment eliminations and costs associated with activities of a general corporate nature.

Management evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on total earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain or loss on disposal of assets, transaction costs, and certain non-routine items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), because Adjusted EBITDA is considered an important measure of each segment’s performance. In addition, management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of each segment’s operating performance allows investors to make a direct comparison to competitors, without regard to differences in capital and financing structure. Investors should be aware, however, that there are limitations inherent in using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of overall profitability because it excludes significant expense items. An improving trend in Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of an improvement in the Company’s profitability. To compensate for the limitations in utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as an operating measure, management also uses U.S. GAAP measures of performance, including operating income and net income, to evaluate performance, but only with respect to the Company as a whole and not on a segment basis.

Note 7 - Mergers and Acquisitions

Agreement to Combine with the Completion and Production Services Businesses of Nabors Industries, Ltd.

On June 25, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Nabors”), and Nabors Red Lion Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and a subsidiary of Nabors (“Red Lion”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Lion (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into C&J with C&J surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Lion (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, Nabors will undergo a restructuring pursuant to a Separation Agreement dated as of June 25, 2014 by and between Nabors and Red Lion (the “Separation Agreement”) to separate Nabors’ completion and production services businesses in the U.S. and Canada (“NCPS”) from the other businesses of Nabors, as a result of which Red Lion will own solely NCPS (the “Separation”). In the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock (other than any treasury shares) will be converted into the right to receive one Red Lion common share. It is currently expected that, immediately following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), former C&J stockholders will own approximately 47% of the issued and outstanding Red Lion common shares (49.75% on a fully diluted basis) and Nabors will own approximately 53% of the issued and outstanding Red Lion common shares (50.25% on a fully diluted basis). When the Merger is completed, Red Lion (which will then own both NCPS and C&J) will be renamed C&J Energy Services, Ltd. and is expected to be listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol CJES. Both the Separation and Merger are expected to qualify as tax-free transactions.

At Closing, Nabors will receive total consideration comprised of approximately 62.5 million Red Lion common shares and approximately $938 million in cash, which had an aggregate value of approximately $2.86 billion as of June 25, 2014.

Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others (1) approval by C&J’s stockholders, (2) the registration statement on Form S-4 used to register the Red Lion common shares to be issued in the Merger being declared effective by the SEC and (3) the approval for listing on the NYSE of the Red Lion common shares to be issued in the Merger.

C&J expects the Closing to occur before the end of 2014, although there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Closing will occur. On July 28, 2014 the Company was granted early termination of the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976 (“HSR”) waiting period by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The Company and Red Lion intend to file a proxy statement / prospectus with the SEC as soon as possible.

Acquisition of Tiger

On May 30, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Tiger for approximately $33.4 million in cash, subject to a customary final working capital adjustment to be agreed upon within 120 days after closing.

Tiger provides cased-hole wireline, logging, perforating, pipe recovery and tubing-conveyed perforating services. The acquisition of Tiger increased the Company’s existing wireline capabilities and provides a presence on the U.S. West Coast. The results of Tiger’s operations since the date of the acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are reflected in the Wireline Services Segment in “Note 6 – Segment Information”.

Overview

We are an independent provider of premium hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing, cased-hole wireline, pumpdown and other complementary services with a focus on complex, technically demanding well completions. These services are provided to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. With the development of our specialty chemicals business and our strategic acquisitions during 2013, we now blend and supply specialty chemicals for completion and production services, and also manufacture and provide downhole tools and related directional drilling technology and data acquisition and control systems. These products are provided to third-party customers in the energy services industry and are also used in our operations and equipment. In addition to our suite of completion, stimulation and production enhancement services, we manufacture, repair and refurbish equipment and provide parts and supplies for third-party companies in the energy services industry, as well as to fulfill our internal needs.

We currently operate in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services, and Equipment Manufacturing. Our three segments are described in more detail under “Our Operating Segments.” For additional financial information about our segments, including revenue from external customers and total assets by segment, see “Note 6 – Segment Information” in Item 1 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Form 10-Q.

Recent Developments

Proposed Combination with the Completion and Production Services Businesses of Nabors Industries, Ltd.

On June 25, 2014, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Nabors”), and Nabors Red Lion Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and a subsidiary of Nabors (“Red Lion”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Lion (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into C&J Energy Services, Inc. with C&J surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Lion (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, Nabors will undergo a restructuring pursuant to a Separation Agreement dated as of June 25, 2014 by and between Nabors and Red Lion (the “Separation Agreement”) to separate Nabors’ completion and production services businesses in the U.S. and Canada (“NCPS”) from the other businesses of Nabors, as a result of which Red Lion will own solely NCPS (the “Separation”). In the Merger, each share of our common stock (other than any treasury shares) will be converted into the right to receive one Red Lion common share. It is currently expected that, immediately following the closing of the Merger (“Closing”), former C&J stockholders will own approximately 47% of the issued and

Table of Contents

outstanding Red Lion common shares and Nabors will own approximately 53% of the issued and outstanding Red Lion common shares. When the Merger is completed, Red Lion (which will then own both NCPS and C&J) will be renamed C&J Energy Services, Ltd. and is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol CJES. Both the Separation and Merger are expected to qualify as tax-free transactions.

At Closing, Nabors will receive total consideration comprised of approximately 62.5 million Red Lion common shares and approximately $938 million in cash, which had an aggregate value of approximately $2.86 billion as of June 25, 2014.

Subsidiaries of Red Lion will issue intercompany notes with an aggregate face amount of approximately $938 million (the “Notes”) to subsidiaries of Nabors in connection with the Separation. The Notes will be repaid in connection with Closing (the “Note Repayment”), resulting in a cash payment to Nabors of approximately $938 million. We have obtained commitments from certain financial institutions to provide debt financing to Red Lion and/or certain of its subsidiaries in an amount sufficient to fund the repayment of the Notes at Closing.

Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (1) the consummation of the Separation in accordance with the Separation Agreement, (2) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR, as amended, (3) approval by C&J’s stockholders, (4) the registration statement on Form S-4 used to register the Red Lion common shares to be issued in the Merger being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (5) the approval for listing on the NYSE of the Red Lion common shares to be issued in the Merger, (6) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and the performance of all covenants by, the parties, (7) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of C&J and Red Lion; (8) the availability of the proceeds of the debt financing to effect the Note Repayment, (9) the receipt of consents, approvals and other deliverables with respect to certain agreements of C&J; (10) the receipt by Nabors of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that certain aspects of the Separation should qualify as tax-free pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (11) the receipt by C&J of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Merger should be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and Red Lion should be treated as a corporation within the meaning of Section 367(a) of the Code. We expect the Closing to occur before the end of 2014, although there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Closing will occur. On July 28, 2014, we were granted early termination of the HSR waiting period by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. We and Red Lion intend to file a joint proxy statement / prospectus with the SEC as soon as possible.

Please read our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2014 for further discussion of the Merger and other transaction contemplated thereby (collectively referred to herein as the “NCPS Combination”).

Acquisition of Tiger

On May 30, 2014, we, through our subsidiary C&J Spec-Rent Services, Inc., entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with the stockholders of Tiger, a California corporation, to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Tiger for approximately $33.4 million in cash (the “Tiger Acquisition”).

Tiger provides cased-hole wireline, logging, perforating, pipe recovery and tubing-conveyed perforating services. The acquisition of Tiger increased our existing wireline capabilities and provides a presence on the U.S. West Coast. The results of Tiger’s operations since the date of the acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements and accounted for under the Wireline Services Segment.

Strategic Initiatives and Growth Strategy

Growth of Core Service Lines, International Expansion

We are focused on growing our core service lines through the expansion of our assets, customer base and geographic reach, both domestically and internationally. During the second quarter of 2014, we made substantial progress in this regard through the agreement for the proposed NCPS Combination and the acquisition of Tiger (each as described under “Recent Developments”). The proposed NCPS Combination will accelerate our long-term growth strategy, making C&J the fifth-largest provider of hydraulic fracturing services in North America, while diversifying our service offerings with the addition of cementing to our suite of completion services and an industry-leading production services business. We believe that the immediate increases in scale, service capabilities, geographic footprint and customer base will provide enhanced opportunities for further growth both in the U.S. and abroad. We expect that our international expansion efforts will also benefit from the global alliance agreement to be entered with Nabors upon closing of the transaction.

The Tiger Acquisition also advanced our growth strategy. In addition to increasing our wireline capabilities, this acquisition established our presence in a new market and provides a solid platform with identifiable growth opportunities for all of our service lines. We are confident that we can leverage Tiger’s experience and relationships with many of the top operators in the region to further expand our wireline operations and introduce our other services.

With respect to our international expansion efforts, during the second quarter of 2013, we continued to invest in the infrastructure needed to support the development of operations in the Middle East. In January 2014 we were awarded our first international contract to provide coiled tubing services on a trial basis in Saudi Arabia. During the first half of the year, we established coiled tubing equipment, crews and logistics on the ground in Saudi Arabia to service this contract. We mobilized on location for our customer in late June 2014 and we successfully completed our first coiled tubing job in July 2014. Due to the size of this first project and the additional costs associated with establishing operations overseas, we do not expect to generate financial returns during this initial phase. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional work with this customer beyond this provisional contract. However, we believe that this is a valuable opportunity to demonstrate our services outside of the United States. We are optimistic that our efforts can lead, over time, to a long-term relationship and additional opportunities with this new customer. We also hope that by demonstrating our capabilities in the region we may be able to secure opportunities with other potential customers in the Middle East.

Service Line Diversification, Vertical Integration & Technological Advancement

During the second quarter of 2014, we further advanced our strategic initiatives designed to strengthen, expand and diversify our business. As we continue to execute our long-term growth strategy, we remain focused on service line diversification, vertical integration and technological advancement. Our continued investment in our strategic initiatives has resulted in increasing capital expenditures and additional costs. We expect that our costs and expenses will continue to increase over the course of 2014 as we further develop these projects. Our strategic initiatives have not contributed significant third-party revenue to date, and we do not expect that any will contribute meaningful third-party revenue during 2014. However, we believe that these investments will yield significant financial returns, as well as meaningful cost savings to us, over the long term. Our current key strategic projects include the following:

 

   

Specialty Chemicals. During 2013, we organically developed a specialty chemicals business for completion and production services. We source many of the chemicals and fluids used in our hydraulic fracturing operations through this business, which over the long-term we expect will provide cost savings to us and also give us direct control over the design, development and supply of these products. We are also actively marketing this business to third-party

 

-23-


Table of Contents
 

customers. During the second quarter of 2014, we expanded our chemical manufacturing and blending capabilities in an effort to drive greater cost savings for our hydraulic fracturing services and fuel third-party growth. We intend to continue growing this business with the long-term goal of becoming a large-scale supplier of these products to the oil and gas industry.

 

    Downhole Tools and Directional Drilling Technology. In April 2013, we acquired a provider of directional drilling technology and related downhole tools. During the first half of 2014, we began leasing premium drilling motors to our customers and we are in the early stages of developing additional related products.

This acquisition was one of the first steps in our strategy to add directional drilling to our service offerings and during the second quarter we continued our multi-faceted, integrated approach to developing our directional drilling capabilities. We are investing in the necessary personnel, equipment, technology and processes to support operations. We have already demonstrated this new service offering to customers and we currently expect to fully launch operations by the end of 2014. Although we do not expect this service line to provide any meaningful contribution to revenue in the near term, we believe that it has significant potential and we intend to continue investing in its growth. Although not at the outset, our goal is that, over time, our directional drilling services will be provided exclusively using our integrated downhole tools and directional drilling technology.

 

    Data Control Systems. In December 2013, we acquired a manufacturer of data acquisition and control instruments, which are used in our hydraulic fracturing operations. During the second quarter of 2014 we began construction of additional hydraulic fracturing equipment which is being built by our in-house manufacturing business. This equipment, comprising 40,000 hydraulic fracturing horsepower, will be the first of our equipment to include our proprietary control systems. We believe that the enhanced functionality and cost savings provided by satisfying one more of our equipment needs in-house will yield strong returns on our investment as we continue to grow our business. Additionally, we are now selling these products to third-party energy services companies.

 

    Research and Technology Capabilities. Our Research and Technology division is currently focused on developing innovative, fit-for-purpose solutions that will enhance our core service offerings, increase completion efficiencies, provide cost savings to our operations and add value for our customer. During the second quarter of 2014, we began field testing several new products, and several other new products are planned for field testing over the remainder of the 2014. We believe that one of the strategic benefits of this division is the ability to develop and implement new technologies and enhancements and respond to changes in customers’ requirements and industry demand.

Operating Segments

We currently operate in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services; Wireline Services; and Equipment Manufacturing. In line with the growth of our business, we routinely evaluate our reportable operating segments and we believe that these three segments are appropriate and consistent with how we manage our business and view the markets we serve. Each of our operating segments is described in more detail below. For additional financial information about our segments, including revenue from external customers and total assets by segment, see “Note 6 – Segment Information,” in Item 1 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Form 10-Q.

 

-24-


Table of Contents

Stimulation and Well Intervention Services Segment

Our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment has two related service lines providing hydraulic fracturing services and coiled tubing and other well stimulation services.

Hydraulic Fracturing Services. Our hydraulic fracturing business currently consists of more than 386,000 total hydraulic horsepower capacity. In late April 2014, we deployed 20,000 new hydraulic fracturing horsepower to support increasing service intensity in our primary operating areas, and in July 2014, we deployed 40,000 additional horsepower in line with increasing customer demand. Based on current expectations that completion activity and service intensity levels will continue to increase, we remain on track to deploy an additional 40,000 hydraulic fracturing horsepower during the latter part of 2014. We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the current rise in completion activities across the United States and the industry’s ongoing trends towards more service intensive jobs.

Our hydraulic fracturing operations contributed $221.6 million, or 60.2%, to our consolidated revenue during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $186.9 million of revenue during the first quarter of 2014 and $160.5 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2013. Revenue increased quarter over quarter primarily due to higher activity levels coupled with a job-mix comprised of more service intensive work, which together involved larger volumes of certain consumables. We also benefitted from deployment of an additional 20,000 hydraulic horsepower at the end of April, which helped us capitalize on increasing service intensity in our primary operating areas. The second quarter’s consistently high activity levels and concentration of service intensive work resulted in greater input costs, which, coupled with an increase in logistics expenses, impacted margins for our services.

Coiled Tubing and Other Well Stimulation Services. Our coiled tubing business currently consists of 27 coiled tubing units. We intend to increase our coiled tubing capacity over the course of 2014. Our coiled tubing services are well-established in some of the most active basins in the United States and we are committed to further grow this business in terms of capacity, geographic reach and market share.

Our coiled tubing operations contributed $43.1 million, or 11.7%, to our consolidated revenue during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $40.0 million of revenue for the first quarter of 2014 and $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. Our coiled tubing results improved sequentially primarily due to continued strong demand for our high capacity coiled tubing units, as well as increased activity in certain newer operating areas as we have accumulated market share.

Our other well stimulation services primarily include nitrogen, pressure pumping and thru-tubing services. Additionally, with the development of our specialty chemicals business and our strategic acquisitions during 2013, we now blend and supply specialty chemicals for completion and production services, and also manufacture and provide downhole tools and related directional drilling technology and data acquisition and control systems. These products are provided to third-party customers in the energy services industry and are also used in our operations and equipment. After an evaluation of these businesses, it was determined that each is appropriately accounted for in our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment.

Our other well stimulation services contributed $6.3 million, or 1.7% of our consolidated revenue, during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, the substantial majority of which was generated by our nitrogen, pressure pumping and thru-tubing services.

Wireline Services Segment

Our Wireline Services provides cased-hole wireline, pumpdown and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery and pressure testing services. This segment currently consists of 88 wireline units and 42 pumpdown units, as well as pressure control and other ancillary equipment. We have aggressively grown market share and produced strong results since our entry into this service line through our June 2012 acquisition of Casedhole Solutions. During the second quarter, we expanded our wireline capabilities through the acquisition of Tiger, a leading provider of wireline services on the U.S. West Coast (please see “Recent Developments – Acquisition of Tiger Cased Hole Solutions, Inc.” for additional information). We believe this acquisition, which established our presence in a new market, enhances our ability to grow market share and increase revenue for our wireline services. We believe that we can leverage Tiger’s experience and relationships with many of the operators in the region to further expand our wireline operations and introduce our other services into the region.

Our Wireline Services segment contributed $93.6 million, or 25.4%, to our consolidated revenue during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $83.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $67.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. Revenue increased primarily due to higher activity levels, with benefit from the deployment of additional equipment as well as contributions from Tiger, which we acquired on May 30, 2014.

Equipment Manufacturing Segment

Our Equipment Manufacturing segment manufactures, refurbishes and repairs equipment and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry, as well as to fulfill the internal equipment demands of our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities enable us to minimize the cost and ensure timely delivery of new equipment to meet customer demand. It also gives us the flexibility to timely respond to changes in customer demand and industry trends. This segment is also key to our vertical integration efforts providing us a means to integrate our strategic initiatives to implement technological developments and enhancements.

Our Equipment Manufacturing segment contributed $3.4 million, or 1.0%, to our consolidated revenue during the second quarter, compared to $2.2 million of revenue for the first quarter of 2014 and $1.6 million of revenue for the second quarter of 2013. This business continues to provide us with cash flow savings from intercompany purchases, including equipment manufacturing, repair and refurbishment, and also supports active management of parts and supplies purchasing.

Industry Trends and Outlook

We face many challenges and risks in the industry in which we operate. Although many factors contributing to these risks are beyond our ability to control, we continuously monitor these risks and have taken steps to mitigate them to the extent practicable. In addition, while we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on available growth opportunities, we may not be able to achieve our business objectives and, consequently, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Please read this section in conjunction with the factors described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

General Industry Trends

Set out below is a discussion of the trends that we believe are affecting, and will continue to affect, our industry.

Our business is cyclical and dependent upon conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, which impact the level of exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies. Revenue from our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments is generated by providing products and services to oil and

Table of Contents

natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. Demand for our products and services is a function of our customers’ willingness to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons in the United States. Our customers’ willingness to undertake exploration and production activities depends largely upon prevailing industry conditions that are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control, including, among other things, current and expected levels of oil and natural gas prices. Any negative impact on the spending patterns of our customers may cause lower pricing and utilization for our core service lines. The level of exploration, development and production activities by these customers also impacts demand for our other services and products, including our Equipment Manufacturing segment. Companies in the energy services industry have historically tended to delay capital equipment projects, including maintenance and upgrades, during industry downturns, which are typically characterized by excess equipment capacity.

The oil and gas industry has traditionally been volatile, is highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles and is influenced by a combination of long-term and cyclical trends, including the domestic and international supply and demand for oil and natural gas, current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by exploration and production companies to their drilling and workover budget. The industry is also impacted by domestic and international economic conditions, political instability in oil producing countries and merger, acquisition and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. The volatility of the oil and gas industry, and the consequent negative impact on the level of exploration, development and production activity by our customers, has adversely affected, and in the future may adversely affect, the demand for our services and our ability to negotiate pricing at levels generating desirable margins, especially in our hydraulic fracturing business.

There is significant potential for excess capacity in our industry, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Natural gas prices declined in 2009 and remained depressed through 2013, which resulted in decreased activity in the natural gas-driven markets. However, oil prices increased during the first half of 2011 and remained relatively stable through 2013. The sustained price disparity between oil and natural gas on a Btu basis drove many companies operating in basins that were predominantly gas-related to relocate their equipment to more oily- and liquids-rich shale plays, such as the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin. Much of the current horizontal drilling and completion related activity remains concentrated in oily- and liquids-rich formations. As drilling activity and completion capacity migrated into the oily- and liquids-rich regions, competition among energy service companies in those areas significantly increased. The resulting increase in supply relative to demand negatively affected utilization and pricing for our services.

Early in the first quarter of 2014, we experienced an increase in customer demand with the rise in completion activity in our core operating areas. Completion activity continued to increase through the first half of 2014, and during the second quarter of 2014 we experienced a rising trend toward a more service intensive work. We generated high utilization levels across our core service lines for the second quarter, improving sequentially as we built on the momentum from earlier in the year. Based on our second quarter performance, and in light of current activity levels, we expect to maintain solid utilization across our service lines through the third quarter, and our outlook is positive for the remainder of 2014.

We are optimistic about the potential for further market improvement in 2014. We believe we are well-positioned to continue to benefit from the increase in completion activities and the industry’s ongoing trends towards more service intensive jobs. We intend to continue increasing market share by strengthening our presence within our existing geographic footprint and concentrating on targeted expansion of our hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing operations into areas in which our wireline business already has a strong presence. As we drive the further expansion of our core service lines and growth in market share, we remain focused on generating higher utilization across our operations. Integral to our strategy is the expansion of our customer base by targeting operators who focus on high volume, high efficiency, service intensive, 24-hour operations and multi-well pad drilling, which is where we believe that we better differentiate our services from our competitors.

Competition and Demand for Our Services

The markets in which we provide our core service offerings are highly competitive with significant potential for excess capacity. We provide these services across the continental United States and our competitors include many large and small energy service companies, including some of the largest integrated energy services companies.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets that we serve are technical expertise, equipment capacity, work force capability, safety record, reputation and experience. Although we believe our customers consider all of these factors, price is often the primary factor in determining which service provider is awarded work. Additionally, projects are often awarded on a bid basis, which tends to further increase competition based primarily on price. While we must be competitive in our pricing, we believe many of our customers elect to work with us based on the safety, performance and quality of our crews, equipment and services. We seek to differentiate ourselves from our major competitors by our operating philosophy, which is focused on delivering the highest quality customer service and equipment, coupled with superior execution and operating efficiency. We target high volume, high efficiency customers with service intensive, 24-hour work, which is where we believe we can differentiate our services from our competitors.

The demand for our services fluctuates, primarily in relation to the price (or anticipated price) of oil and natural gas, which, in turn, is driven primarily by the supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Generally, as supply of the commodities decreases and demand increases, service and maintenance requirements increase as oil and natural gas producers attempt to maximize the productivity of their wells in a higher priced environment. However, in a lower oil and natural gas price environment, demand for service and maintenance generally decreases as oil and natural gas producers decrease their activity. In particular, the demand for new or existing field drilling and completion work is driven by available investment capital for such work. Because these types of services can be easily “started” and “stopped,” and oil and natural gas producers generally tend to be less risk tolerant when commodity prices are low or volatile, we may experience a more rapid decline in demand for well maintenance services compared with demand for other types of energy services. Further, in a low commodity price environment, fewer well service rigs are needed for completions, as these activities are generally associated with drilling activity.

Pressure on pricing for our hydraulic fracturing and other core services, including due to competition and industry and/or economic conditions, may impact, among other things, our ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing on our services. During periods of declining pricing for our services, we may not be able to reduce our costs accordingly, which could further adversely affect our results. Furthermore, even when we are able to increase our prices, we may not be able to do so at a rate that is sufficient to offset any rising costs. Also, we may not be able to successfully increase prices without adversely affecting our activity levels. The inability to maintain our prices or to increase our prices as costs increase could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are driven primarily by four interrelated, fluctuating variables: (1) the drilling and stimulation activities of our customers, which directly affects the demand for our services; (2) the prices we are able to charge for our services; (3) the cost of products, materials and labor, and our ability to pass those costs on to our customers; and (4) our service performance.

The majority of our revenue is generated from our hydraulic fracturing services. Historically, most of our hydraulic fracturing services were performed under long-term “take-or-pay” contracts, the

last of which expired in February 2014. We now provide substantially all our hydraulic fracturing services, along with our other core services, primarily in the spot market. Accordingly, we are now more significantly affected by, among other things, the pricing pressures and other conditions of the markets in which we provide our services. For additional information about the factors impacting our business and results of operations, please see “Industry Trends and Outlook.”

Revenue

Revenue increased $101.0 million, or 37.8%, to $367.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $267.0 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of higher activity levels across a larger asset base in our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments, with (i) an increase in revenue of $61.1 million from our hydraulic fracturing operations due to higher activity levels coupled with a job-mix comprised of more service intensive work, which together involved larger volumes of certain consumables, (ii) an increase of $26.0 million from our Wireline Services segment, and (iii) an increase of $10.6 million from our coiled tubing operations due to the continued demand for our larger-diameter coiled tubing units, as well as improved performance in new operating areas as we grew market share.

Direct Costs

Direct costs increased $88.0 million, or 48.9%, to $268.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $180.1 million for the same period in 2013 due to a $72.7 million increase in our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment primarily from our hydraulic fracturing operations and a $13.2 million increase in our Wireline Services segment, in each instance related to a corresponding increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs increased from 67.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 72.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the pricing environment of the spot market for our hydraulic fracturing services, as well as greater input costs associated with larger volumes of certain proppants and other consumables and associated logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) and Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

SG&A increased $17.5 million, or 52.3%, to $50.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $33.4 million for the same period in 2013. We also incurred $3.6 million in R&D for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2013.

Excluding $7.4 million in transaction costs associated primarily with the proposed NCPS Combination, the increases in SG&A and R&D were primarily due to increased costs associated with the growth of our business, including higher payroll and personnel costs, as well as continued investment in our strategic initiatives, including service line diversification, vertical integration, technological advancement and international expansion. Inclusive of both SG&A and R&D, our strategic initiatives contributed approximately $9.5 million of additional costs for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $7.4 million, or 41.6%, to $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $17.9 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily related to $3.6 million from our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment associated with new hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment and $2.8 million from our Wireline Services segment associated with new wireline and pumpdown equipment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which increased from the corresponding period in 2013 due to increased average debt balances.

Income Taxes

We recorded a tax provision of $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, at an effective rate of 38.6%, compared to a tax provision of $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, at an effective rate of 37.3%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower pre-tax book income, which caused permanent differences between book and taxable income and state income taxes to have a higher proportionate impact on the calculation of the effective tax rate, partially offset by the recognition of tax benefits for federal and state income tax credits.

Revenue

Revenue increased $141.5 million, or 26.0%, to $684.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $543.0 million for the same period in 2013. Revenue increased due to strong improvements in activity levels in our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments. This increase was primarily related to an increase in revenue of $74.2 million from our hydraulic fracturing operations due to higher activity levels coupled with a job-mix comprised of more service intensive work, which together involved larger volumes of certain consumables. Revenue for the first six months of 2014 was also positively impacted by (i) $47.0 million from our Wireline Services segment due to an increased number of units coupled with higher activity levels and (ii) an increase of $15.2 million from our coiled tubing operations due to higher activity levels with the continued demand for our larger-diameter coiled tubing units, as well as improved performance in new operating areas as we grew market share.

Direct Costs

Direct costs increased $131.4 million, or 35.8%, to $498.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $367.2 million for the same period in 2013 due to a $103.5 million increase in our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment from our hydraulic fracturing operations and a $25.7 million increase in our Wireline Services segment, in each instance related to a corresponding increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs increased from 67.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 72.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the pricing environment of the spot market for our hydraulic fracturing services, as well as greater input costs associated with larger volumes of certain proppants and other consumables and associated logistics costs.

SG&A and R&D

SG&A increased $26.0 million, or 39.8%, to $91.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $65.3 million for the same period in 2013. We also incurred $6.4 million in R&D for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Excluding $7.4 million in transaction costs associated primarily with the proposed NCPS Combination, the increases in SG&A and R&D for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily due to increased costs associated with the growth of our business and continued investment in our

strategic initiatives, including service line diversification, vertical integration, technological advancement and international expansion. Inclusive of both SG&A and R&D, our strategic initiatives contributed approximately $17.6 million of additional costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $12.8 million, or 37.0%, to $47.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $34.5 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily related to $6.6 million from our Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment due to the addition and deployment of new hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment and $4.6 million from our Wireline Services segment due to the addition and deployment of new wireline and pressure pumping equipment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was consistent with the corresponding period in 2013.

Income Taxes

We recorded a tax provision of $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, at an effective rate of 39.3%, compared to a tax provision of $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, at an effective rate of 36.2%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower pre-tax book income, which caused permanent differences between book and taxable income and state income taxes to have a higher proportionate impact on the calculation of the effective tax rate, partially offset by the recognition of tax benefits for federal and state tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since the beginning of 2011, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and the net proceeds that we received from our initial public offering. Our primary uses of capital during this period were for the growth of our Company, including the purchase and maintenance of equipment for our core service lines, strategic acquisitions that complement and enhance our business, geographic expansion and technological advancement. Our capital expenditures, maintenance costs and other expenses have increased substantially over the last few years to support our growth. As we execute our long-term growth strategy and advance on our strategic initiatives, we anticipate that these costs will continue to increase over 2014 and beyond.

We are actively exploring opportunities to expand and diversify our product and service offerings, including through acquisitions of technologies, assets and businesses that represent a good operational, strategic and/or synergistic fit with our existing service offerings. We are also committed to geographic expansion, both domestically and internationally. The successful execution of our long-term growth strategy depends on our ability to raise capital as needed. We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on available opportunities and finance future growth. However, sustained pressure on pricing and decreased utilization for our hydraulic fracturing services could cause us to reduce our capital expenditures.

Our Credit Facility (as defined and described in more detail under “Description of Our Indebtedness” and in “Note 2 – Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) provides for up to $400.0 million of revolving credit. As of June 30, 2014, we had $261.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and $2.0 million in letters of credit, and as of August 1, 2014, we had $256.0 million outstanding along with $2.0 million in letters of credit, leaving $142.0 million available for additional borrowings at that date. Our Credit Facility contains covenants that require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio, to maintain a leverage ratio and to satisfy

 

-32-


Table of Contents

certain other conditions, as well as certain limitations on our ability to make capital expenditures on a fiscal year basis. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.

We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financings, in order to meet our planned capital expenditures and liquidity requirements. Our ability to fund operating cash flow shortfalls, if any, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend upon our future operating performance, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our existing operating performance, we believe our cash flows from operations and existing capital, coupled with borrowings available under our Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet operational and capital expenditure needs over the next twelve months.

Capital Requirements

The energy services business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade and purchase equipment to meet our customers’ needs and industry demand. To date, our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to be:

 

    growth capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to acquire additional equipment and other assets, increase our service lines, expand geographically or advance other strategic initiatives for the purpose of growing our business; and

 

    capital expenditures related to our existing equipment, which are made to extend the useful life of partially or fully depreciated assets.

Capital expenditures totaled $86.3 million during the second quarter of 2014 and $143.7 million as of June 30, 2014, which primarily consisted of construction costs for previously announced new equipment orders. Our remaining 2014 capital expenditures are expected to range from $120 million to $140 million based on previously announced equipment orders and further development of our strategic initiatives, some of which may carry into 2015.

In 2015, we currently expect that much of our capital expenditure plan will be directed towards our existing equipment, given the significant asset base that we expect to acquire through the proposed NCPS Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we continually monitor the market, and we will invest in new equipment to capitalize on growth opportunities and meet customer demand. We will also continue to invest in the further development of our strategic initiatives.

We believe we are well-positioned to finance our future growth. As of August 1, 2014, $142.0 million was available for borrowing under our credit facility. We believe our cash flows from operations and existing capital, coupled with borrowings under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our remaining 2014 capital expenditures and sustain our spending levels over the next twelve months. We plan to continue to monitor the economic environment and demand for our services and adjust our business strategy as necessary.

We continually monitor new advances in equipment and down-hole technology, as well as new technologies and processes that will further enhance our existing service capabilities, reduce costs and increase efficiencies. In 2013, we established a research and technology division as we focused on technological advancement as one of our strategic initiatives. We will continue to invest in our research and technology capabilities as a key element of our growth strategy. We believe that these efforts will enable us to more effectively compete against larger integrated energy services companies, both domestically and internationally.

Additionally, we are actively evaluating opportunities to further expand our business and grow our geographic footprint, including through strategic acquisitions and targeted expansion, both domestically and internationally. With respect to our international expansion efforts, we are continuing to invest in the infrastructure needed to capitalize on available opportunities and support future operations. We have now commenced operations in Saudi Arabia under our first international contract for coiled tubing work on a provisional basis. Our team mobilized on location for our customer in late June and we successfully performed our first job in early July. We have an office in Dubai and we expect to commence construction of an operational facility in Dubai in 2014 to support our anticipated future Middle East operations. As we pursue compelling opportunities, we will continue to make capital investment decisions that we believe will support our long-term growth strategy.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower net income, which resulted from lower pricing for our hydraulic fracturing services, increased consumables and logistics costs associated with our hydraulic fracturing operations, and $7.4 million of transaction costs primarily related to the proposed NCPS Combination.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $90.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to a $61.7 million increase in capital expenditures primarily related to the equipment used in our Stimulation and Well Intervention and Wireline Services segments, as well as $33.4 million for the Tiger Acquisition.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $107.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $10.8 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $118.5 million due to borrowings from our credit facility to fund increased capital expenditures related to new equipment, the Tiger Acquisition, higher working capital and transaction costs associated with the proposed NCPS Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, as of June 30, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

Description of Our Indebtedness

Credit Facility. On April 19, 2011, we entered into a five-year $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Swing Line Lender and line of credit issuer, Comerica Bank, as line of credit issuer and syndication agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agent, and various other lenders (“Credit Facility”). Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), other than immaterial subsidiaries. Effective June 5, 2012, we entered into Amendment No. 1 and Joinder to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) primarily to facilitate and permit us to fund a portion of the acquisition of our wireline business.

The Amendment increased our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility to $400.0 million. To effectuate this increase, new financial institutions were added to the Credit Facility as lenders and certain existing lenders severally agreed to increase their respective commitments. Pursuant to the Amendment, the aggregate amount by which we may periodically increase commitments through incremental facilities was increased from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, the sublimit for letters of credit was left unchanged at $200.0 million and the sublimit for Swing Line Loans was increased from $15.0 million to $25.0 million. During the second quarter 2014, we drew down on our credit facility to fund the approximately $33.4 million acquisition of Tiger. As of June 30, 2014, we had $261.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and $2.0 million in letters of credit, and as of August 1, 2014, we had $256.0 million outstanding along with $2.0 million in letters of credit, leaving $142.0 million available for borrowing.

Loans under our Credit Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars and will mature on April 19, 2016. Outstanding loans bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans, based upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is the ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA for us and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All obligations under our Credit Facility are secured, subject to agreed-upon exceptions, by a first priority perfected security position on all real and personal property of us and the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2014 was 2.8%.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants including financial reporting, governance and notification requirements. The Amendment made certain changes to the Credit Facility’s affirmative covenants, including the financial reporting and notification requirements, and the Credit Facility’s negative covenants, including the restriction on our ability to conduct asset sales, incur additional indebtedness, issue dividends, grant liens, issue guarantees, make investments, loans or advances and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the Amendment altered the restriction on capital expenditures to allow us to make an unlimited amount of capital expenditures so long as (i) the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) we have pro forma liquidity of greater than $40.0 million, (iii) no default exists and (iv) the capital expenditures could not reasonably be expected to cause a default. Further, in the event that these conditions are not met, we will be permitted to make capital expenditures in any fiscal year in an amount equal to the greater of 12.5% of the consolidated tangible assets of us and our subsidiaries or $200.0 million, provided that up to $50.0

million of such amount in any fiscal year may be rolled over to the subsequent fiscal year and up to $50.0 million may be pulled forward from the subsequent fiscal year. These capital expenditure restrictions do not apply to capital expenditures financed solely with the proceeds from the issuance of qualified equity interests and asset sales or normal replacement and maintenance capital expenditures.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain, measured on a consolidated basis, (1) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (2) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Capitalized terms used in “Description of Our Indebtedness” but not defined herein are defined in the Credit Facility.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

No changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims incidental to or arising in the ordinary course of our business. Our management does not expect the outcome in any of these known legal proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On July 30, 2014, we, the members of our board of directors, including our management directors, together with Nabors Industries, Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nabors Red Lion Limited, were sued in a putative shareholder class action by our stockholders. The case is styled City of Miami General Employees’ and Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust, et al. v. C&J Energy Services, Inc., et al.; C.A. No. 9980-VCN; In the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges that our directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed NCPS Combination, and that all of the named defendants aided and abetted these alleged violations. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, including an injunction against the consummation of the transactions, together with attorney’s fees and costs. We believe that the case is without merit and intend to vigorously defend it.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to the NCPS Combination

We cannot assure you that we will complete the NCPS Combination or, if completed, that such transaction will be beneficial to us.

We cannot assure you that we will complete the NCPS Combination or, if completed, that such transaction would achieve the desired benefits. The success of the NCPS Combination will depend, in part, on the ability of the combined company to realize the anticipated benefits from combining our business with that of NCPS. Realizing the benefits of the NCPS Combination will depend in part on the integration of assets, operations and personnel while maintaining adequate focus on the core businesses of the combined company. We cannot assure you that any cost savings, greater economies of scale and other operational efficiencies, as well as revenue enhancement opportunities anticipated from the business combination will occur. If management of the combined company is unable to minimize the potential disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of the management during the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the NCPS Combination may not be realized. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on us.

If we consummate the NCPS Combination and if any of these risks or unanticipated liabilities or costs were to materialize, any desired benefits of the NCPS Combination may not be fully realized, if at all, and our future financial performance and results of operations could be negatively impacted. Further, the failure to complete the NCPS Combination could negatively impact the market price of our shares of common stock and our future business and financial results, and we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our customers and employees.

We will incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the NCPS Combination.

We expect to incur a number of transaction-related costs associated with completing the NCPS Combination, combining the operations of NCPS with our business and achieving desired synergies. These fees and costs will be substantial. There can be no assurance that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will offset the incremental transaction-related costs over time. Thus, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Table of Contents

Pending the completion of the NCPS Combination, our business and operations could be materially adversely affected.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the NCPS Combination which may adversely affect our ability to execute certain of our business strategies, including our ability in certain cases to enter into contracts or incur capital expenditures to grow our business. Such limitations could negatively affect our business and operations prior to the completion of the Merger. Additionally, uncertainty about the effect of the NCPS Combination on employees, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on our business. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the mergers are consummated and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause our customers, suppliers and others who deal with us to seek to change their existing business relationships, which could negatively impact revenues, earnings and cash flows of our business, as well as the market prices of our common stock, regardless of whether the mergers are completed. Furthermore, matters relating to the NCPS Combination may require substantial commitments of time and resources by management, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us.

In addition to the risks and the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including under the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the information set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a detailed discussion of known material factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
