FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Key Energy Services Reports First Quarter 2017 Earnings
HOUSTON, TX, May 10, 2017 - Key Energy Services, Inc. reported first quarter 2017 consolidated revenues of $101.5 million and a pre-tax GAAP loss of $47.1 million, or $2.33 per share. The results for the first quarter include $3.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $3.1 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the Company’s financial restructuring, $0.5 million of severance expense, a $0.2 million charge for asset impairment and a $0.1 million gain on sale of assets. Excluding these items, the Company reported a pre-tax loss of $39.7 million, or $1.97 per share.
Overview and Outlook
Key’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Drummond, stated, “During the first quarter, we made significant progress in our efforts to improve the financial performance of the reorganized company. In our U.S. segments, lower operating costs somewhat offset the revenue impact from an activity deferral by a large customer and heavy rains in California in our Rig Services segment and a seasonal slowdown of Coiled Tubing segment work in the Northeast. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned large customer and weather in California, our Rig Services revenue was up 8% sequentially, with revenue from our top 25 Rig Services customers up 11% sequentially. Overall, our discount recovery efforts generated some improvement but were dampened by the softness in oil prices during the quarter.
“Thus far in the second quarter, we continued to see increases in activity and additional traction on discount recovery, including some customers that are seeking to lock-in pricing for the second half of 2017. We are also seeing an increase in inquiries regarding equipment and crew availability for well maintenance and repair activity. We view these two dynamics as positive indicators of future demand.”
Drummond continued, “Our combined operating income margins in the U.S. were impacted by seasonal factors in the Northeast, weather in California and typical burden of unemployment taxes at the beginning of each year, combining for approximately 450 basis points of sequential margin erosion. Transitory equipment make-ready costs in advance of expected activity uplift impacted margins by approximately 110 basis points sequentially, in addition to approximately 360 basis points of margin impact related to new Management Incentive Plan equity compensation. Further, margins in the first quarter were impacted by approximately 90 basis points due to costs associated with a saltwater disposal well explosion due to a lightning strike.
“The absence of these costs and a full quarter of higher pricing achieved in the first quarter should produce revenue growth of 10% with strong incremental margins in the second quarter.”
Financial Overview
Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 15, 2016, the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes.

* Adjusted EBITDA does not exclude costs incurred in connection with the Company’s FCPA investigations.
“EBITDA” is defined as income or loss attributable to Key before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-recurring or extraordinary items such as impairment expense, severance expense, loss on debt extinguishment, gains or losses on asset sales, asset retirements and impairments, and certain non-recurring transaction or other costs.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by the Company’s management and directors and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, to assess:
• | The financial performance of the Company’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; |
• | The ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness; |
• | The Company’s operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the well services industry, without regard to financing methods and capital structure; and |
• | The Company’s operating trends underlying the items that tend to be of a non-recurring nature. |
Normalized operating loss is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as operating loss plus or minus certain items such as impairment expense, severance expense, FCPA settlement costs and FCPA investigation costs. Normalized operating loss is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company’s management and directors and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, primarily to compare the Company’s core operating and financial performance from period to period without regard to the many non-cash accounting charges or unusual expenses that have impacted the Company’s GAAP operating income and net income due to the severe downturn in the company’s business.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and normalized operating income exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations in using normalized operating loss as an analytical tool include that normalized operating loss excludes certain cash costs and losses actually incurred by the Company. Limitations to using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include:
• | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect Key’s current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments; |
• | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service, interest or principal payments on Key’s debt; |
• | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income taxes; |
• | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
• | Other companies in Key’s industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Key does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
• | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a different calculation from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined for purposes of the financial covenants in the Company’s senior secured credit facility, and therefore should not be relied upon for assessing compliance with covenants. |
