Sherif Foda, Chairman of the Board and CEO of NESR said, "NESR achieved very important milestones this quarter which will bring a step change to the Company going forward. We opened a casing accessories manufacturing facility in Oman to deepen our commitment to In-Country Value creation and local employment, a cornerstone of our ESG strategy in the region. We also commenced operations under a significant unconventional gas stimulation services contract in Saudi Arabia, achieving qualification of these services in a record time during the fourth quarter. Separately, our team's focus on operational efficiency and financial discipline resulted in a $20.2 million decrease in net debt quarter over quarter after collecting a record $207 million during the quarter."

Mr. Foda continued, "Most recently, we announced the agreement to acquire a significant oilfield services provider, SAPESCO. This transaction is expected to close in April of 2020 and will mark the entry of the NESR brand into Egypt, further expanding our presence in North Africa and adding a new service line, Pipelines and Industrial Services, to our portfolio."

Net Income Results

The Company had net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaling $3.7 million as compared to a net income of $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $22.8 million in the prior year quarter. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019, third quarter of 2019, and fourth quarter of 2018, includes amortization expenses associated with intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of NPS and GES (the "Business Combination") of $3.8 million, per quarter. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 is $18.9 million and includes adjustments totaling $15.2 million mainly related to integration and restructuring costs, higher startup and qualifying costs in conjunction with new contracts, specifically the unconventional contract setup, and other discrete provisions that include non-cash actuarial adjustments and tax reserve charges (collectively, "Total Charges and Credits"). In the fourth quarter of 2018, Total Charges and Credits included a gain of $6.1 million for a Business Combination-related earn-out adjustment. A complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income."

The Company reported $0.04 of diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $0.13 per share during the third quarter 2019 period. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, Adjusted Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2019 is $0.21, compared to $0.19 per share during the third quarter 2019 period.

The D&E Services segment revenue grew by over 7.8% over the past year.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents are $73.2 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to $24.9 million as of December 31, 2018.

Total debt as of December 31, 2019 is $383.5 million with $53.0 million of such debt classified as short-term. Working capital for the Company totaled $175.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Net debt totaled $310.3 million as of December 31, 2019 as compared to $330.6 million as of September 30, 2019, a decrease of $20.2 million. Net debt has decreased quarter-over-quarter due to improved accounts receivable collections, a trend which we expect to continue into the first quarter of 2020. Gross collections were $207 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, a 34% sequential increase. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $26 million. As compared to December 31, 2018, net debt has increased by $33.1 million fund working capital and capital spending to support our growth.

Business Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations

As a result of the Business Combination, NESR was determined to be the accounting acquirer and NPS was determined to be the predecessor for SEC reporting purposes. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), the acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration paid by NESR to affect the Business Combination was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting resulting from the Business Combination, the financial statements and certain footnote presentations separate the Company's presentations into two distinct sets of reporting periods, the periods before the consummation of the transaction ("Predecessor Period") and the period after that date ("Successor Period"), to indicate the application of the different basis of accounting between the periods presented. The Predecessor Periods reflect the historical financial information of NPS prior to the Business Combination, while the Successor Period reflects the Company's consolidated financial information, including the results of NPS and GES, after the Business Combination.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED NET INCOME TO NET INCOME
(Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands)

The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), net income adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted Net Income") as well a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to operating income and net income, respectively, in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company's board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
