C&J Energy Services Announces Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
HOUSTON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- C&J Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: CJES) today reported net income of $30.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income was $53.4 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $49.3 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted net income(1) for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $35.2 million, or $0.65 per diluted share(2), excluding a $3.8 million after-tax ($0.07 per diluted share) one-time charge related to a legal settlement with a former equity holder and also excluding additional income tax expense associated with a true-up of our effective tax rate for the prior three quarters ($0.02 per diluted share). Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $49.9 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, excluding a one-time cumulative beneficial tax adjustment of $3.5 million associated with certain qualifying federal income tax deductions recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 ($0.07 per diluted share).
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $286.3 million, an increase of 30% compared to $220.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and down 7% compared to $307.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue from the prior year quarter was attributable to the addition of our wireline business in June 2012 as well as the investments we made in hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing equipment. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $70.9 million, compared to $86.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $89.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from the third quarter of 2012 resulted from lower activity levels due to year end operator budget constraints and a seasonal slowdown.
"Although the fourth quarter was very challenging, we achieved strong results, further demonstrating our ability to execute successfully in a difficult environment," commented Josh Comstock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I'm even more proud of the progress we made in 2012 on a number of strategic initiatives, including expanding geographically, diversifying into new service lines, making technological advancements and achieving cost savings. We diversified geographically by expanding our domestic presence into a number of oil-rich basins. We started 2012 with the bulk of our operations in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, and we now have equipment deployed across nine states. We intend to continue to broaden our domestic footprint while also pursuing targeted international expansion.
"With the acquisition of Casedhole Solutions, we further diversified our service offerings and established a full set of complementary best-in-class completion services. We have increased market share and improved spot utilization through the cross-selling efforts of our marketing team.
"Our research and manufacturing divisions made significant strides in technological advancements during 2012 that we expect will foster continued differentiation of our services from our competitors. We also expanded our production capabilities, including the manufacture of wireline equipment. Through our research group, we are actively evaluating new products that complement and enhance our current service offerings, and we remain focused on identifying opportunities to reduce our operational costs.
"Despite a challenging year for the U.S. hydraulic fracturing market, we significantly grew our customer base while achieving attractive operating margins. We will continue to capitalize on our superior performance within this difficult environment by targeting customers who recognize the value C&J provides through efficiency gains that result in significant cost savings to them."
Operational Results
Hydraulic fracturing contributed $185.7 million of revenue and we completed 1,614 fracturing stages during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $196.0 million of revenue and 1,486 fracturing stages for the previous quarter and $172.6 million of revenue and 1,151 fracturing stages for the same quarter last year. We averaged monthly revenue per unit of horsepower of $256 during the fourth quarter, down from $270 in the previous quarter and $343 in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease in average revenue per horsepower from the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to pricing pressure resulting from excess pumping capacity and seasonal utilization levels.
We recently deployed our eighth hydraulic fracturing fleet in the spot market and expect delivery of our ninth fleet at the end of the first quarter of 2013. This fleet is currently being winterized in preparation for deployment into the Bakken. The addition of the ninth fleet will bring our total horsepower capacity to just over 300,000 and broaden our geographic reach in oil-rich basins.
Our coiled tubing operations contributed $38.4 million of revenue and completed 1,010 coiled tubing jobs during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $35.1 million of revenue and 935 coiled tubing jobs for the previous quarter. Coiled tubing revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $32.0 million and 849 jobs were completed. Revenue and jobs increased from the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of slightly higher utilization in certain basins. We expect to take delivery of six additional coiled tubing units over the first two quarters of 2013 for deployment in new basins.
Our wireline operations contributed $53.4 million of revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $61.6 million of revenue during the prior quarter. Revenues from wireline operations decreased from the third quarter of 2012 due to lower pricing as well as decreased activity levels. We currently have a fleet of 64 wireline units and 21 pumpdown units and plan to add one new wireline unit and four new pumpdown units during 2013.
Our manufacturing business contributed $6.2 million of third party revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $11.2 million of revenue for the previous quarter and $11.2 million of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011. The primary driver of this decline was excess equipment capacity across the pressure pumping industry, and we expect that this trend will continue over the near term.
Our general and administrative expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $39.9 million, up from $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $30.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. The quarterly sequential rise is primarily due to the one-time legal settlement charge mentioned above as well as additional personnel and administrative costs associated with the growth of our business. Depreciation and amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $15.4 million from $14.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2012, we had $170 million outstanding under our $400 million revolving credit facility and we currently have $155 million in borrowings outstanding. The facility matures in April 2016 and our current cost of borrowings is less than 3%. Our debt to total capitalization was approximately 23% as of December 31, 2012.
Capital expenditures totaled $46.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 and $182.2 million for the full year, the majority of which consisted of construction costs for new hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and wireline equipment. Our 2013 capital expenditures are expected to range from $75 to $100 million based on previously announced equipment orders and current growth estimates.
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2012
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we reported net income of $182.4 million, or $3.37 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.1 billion, compared to net income of $162.0 million, or $3.19 per diluted share, on revenues of $758.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $186.7 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, excluding approximately $0.5 million ($0.01 per diluted share) of transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Casedhole, net of tax, as well as the one-time legal settlement charge of $3.8 million, net of tax ($0.07 per diluted share). Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $163.6 million, or $3.22 per diluted share, excluding approximately $4.9 million in loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of tax ($0.10 per diluted share) and the one-time cumulative beneficial tax adjustment of approximately $3.5 million ($0.07 per diluted share).
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we reported Adjusted EBITDA of $336.7 million compared to $285.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income plus the after-tax amount of the following items: loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition costs, non-routine legal settlement charges, unusual or non-recurring income tax adjustments and income tax true-ups. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain or loss on disposal of assets, acquisition costs and non-routine items including loss on early extinguishment of debt and legal settlement charges. Management believes that Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company's normal operating results. |
