*The Company presents its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see Tables 1 and 2 below for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Sherif Foda, Chairman of the Board and CEO of NESR said, “We delivered another solid quarter operationally and commercially despite the geopolitical turbulence witnessed in the region. We have diligently worked through the quarter to position NESR in an advantageous position for the coming year. Late in this quarter we have started on several previously announced new projects which will bring a step change to our operations going forward. These projects have required significant effort from the whole organization and I am very proud of the early results we are seeing and very importantly, the positive reaction of our customers to these new startups. The team has done an outstanding job at managing these very complex projects while maintaining rigor on cost and time and are a testament to the depth of ability we have on the ground in these countries.”

Mr. Foda continued, “Amid an uncertain macro outlook globally, the MENA region is going strong and we believe that our customers will continue to invest at an increased pace across the region in both the conventional and unconventional space. We have visibility today on several large unconventional programs across the region which are at different stages of development and these would be adding to the emerging MENA upcycle. These also tie in very well with NESR’s portfolio and the innovative technology and processes we have sourced globally and will enable NESR to be on the leading edge of these developments and generate market leading returns.”

Net Income Results

The Company had net income for the third quarter of 2019 totaling $11.1 million as compared to a net income of $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $16.2 million in the prior year quarter. Net income decreased year-over-year primarily due to increased depreciation charges. Net income for the third quarter of 2019, second quarter of 2019, and third quarter of 2018, includes amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired in the Business Combination, of $3.8 million, $3.8 million, and $3.6 million respectively. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2019 is $16.2 million and includes adjustments totaling $5.1 million mainly related to integration and restructuring costs and other discrete provisions (collectively, “Total Charges and Credits”). A complete list of the adjusting items and associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled “Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for Successor Periods.”

The Company reported $0.13 of diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $0.13 per share during the second quarter 2019 period. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2019 is $0.19, which is consistent with the second quarter of 2019.

See “Business Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations” section below for additional information on current reporting conventions.

EBITDA Results

The Company produced Adjusted EBITDA of $47.7 million during the third quarter of 2019.

The Company collectively posted the following results for the periods presented.

Drilling and Evaluation Services Segment Results

The Drilling and Evaluation (“D&E”) Services segment contributed $64.4 million to consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to revenue of $56.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. The D&E Services segment revenue has grown by over 13% over the past year as the Company continues to actively cross-sell its portfolio in the countries where it did not previously provide those services. Segment EBITDA totaled $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.

The D&E Services segment posted the following results for the periods presented.

(in thousands)		Successor (NESR)
		July 1 to September 30, 2019				April 1 to July 30, 2019				July 1 to September 30, 2018

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents are $43.1 million as of September 30, 2019, compared to $24.9 million as of December 31, 2018.

Total debt as of September 30, 2019 is $373.6 million with $35.8 million of such debt classified as short-term. Working capital for the Company totaled $192.9 million as of September 30, 2019. Net debt totaled $330.6 million as of September 30, 2019. Net debt has increased by $53.4 million since December 31, 2018 to fund working capital and capital spending to support our growth. As compared to fourth quarter of 2018 days sales outstanding levels, decreased accounts receivable collections of approximately $42 million have contributed significantly to the increase in working capital during 2019. We expect collections to improve during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Predecessor/Successor Accounting Treatment

NESR continues to report in a Predecessor/Successor format whereby NPS Holdings Limited (“NPS”) is the Predecessor for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination on June 7, 2018 and NESR, including NPS and Gulf Energy S.A.O.C. (“GES”), is the Successor for post-transaction periods.

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 Periods”) 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. The successor periods are from June 7, 2018 to September 30, 2018 (“2018 Successor Period”), July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 (“2018 Successor Quarter”), January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 (“2019 Successor Period”), and July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 (“2019 Successor Quarter”) and the predecessor period is from January 1, 2018 to June 6, 2018 (“2018 Predecessor Period”).

NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 net income 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 and impairment), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (Business Combination transaction expenses and related integration costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as an alternative to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 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.
