Taylor, stated,“While our first quarter results, excluding various impairments taken, exceeded our guidance issued in February, operational activity across our U.S. land-based businesses is declining quickly in the second quarter. During the first quarter, our Completion Services revenues were modesty up sequentially with EBITDA margins improving 370 basis points as activity had not yet been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or deteriorating market conditions. In our Downhole Technologies segment, revenues improved 7% sequentially and EBITDA margins increased 420 basis points. Revenues in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment decreased 16% sequentially, with an 80 basis point decrease in EBITDA margins, due to delays in our major project-driven sales as a result of the global disruptions in our own operations and in various parts of our supply chain. Segment backlog totaled $267 million at March 31, a decrease of 4% sequentially. Our segment book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter was 1.0x.”“We are acutely aware of the challenging market conditions that we will face during the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. During stressed periods in our business, we know that the immediate focus needs to be on the preservation of liquidity and the management of variable and fixed costs through such a downturn. We are working with our lenders to amend our existing cash flow-based revolving credit facility and convert it into an asset-based lending arrangement. We have also taken significant actions on the cost side of our business to adjust to the expectation of significantly declining revenues, particularly those tied to shale completions in the United States. We will closely manage our debt, working capital and cash flow generation in the quarters to come.”BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS(See Segment Data tables)Offshore/Manufactured ProductsOffshore/Manufactured Products generated revenues and Segment EBITDA (Note B) of $91.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2020 compared to revenues of $108.2 million and Segment EBITDA of $16.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The effective tax rate benefit for both periods was below the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to certain non-deductible expenses, including non-cash goodwill impairment charges.On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. In accordance with the recently established rules and procedures under the CARES Act, the Company has filed carryback claims regarding U.S. net operating losses generated in 2018 and plans to file carryback claims regarding U.S. net operating losses generated in 2019 during the second quarter of 2020. Prior to enactment of the CARES Act, such net operating losses could only be carried forward. The Company expects to receive refunds of approximately $41 million related to these carryback claims in 2020, which are classified in income taxes receivable in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020.Financial ConditionAs of March 31, 2020, $71.7 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility, while cash on hand totaled $24.3 million and the total amount available to be drawn under the revolving credit facility was $107.6 million. The Company’s total debt represented 25% of combined total debt and stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2020, an increase from 17% at December 31, 2019 due primarily to the non-cash asset impairment charges recorded in the first quarter of 2020. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020.The Company is working with its bank group regarding an amendment to its revolving credit facility. The amendment entails converting the Company’s existing cash flow-based revolving credit facility into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Amended Facility”). The Company has made significant progress to date with its bank group and currently expects to complete the amendment process in the second quarter of 2020. The Amended Facility is expected to be subject to a borrowing base, with availability based upon the amount of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory with advance rates dependent upon several factors, including the age and geographic location of the assets. While the amount of the borrowing base has not been finalized, the Company expects the size of the Amended Facility to range from $175 million to $200 million. While the Company believes it will be able to complete the amendment process within the time frame estimated and on the general terms described above, the amendment process remains subject to completion of final documentation and credit approval by the bank group and, accordingly, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to complete the amendment process within the time frame or on the terms currently expected.If the Company is not successful in amending the revolving credit facility, its borrowings would be governed by the existing credit agreement, which contains financial covenants and restrictions, including an interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 2.25 to 1.0 and a total net leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total net funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0. Based on Company forecasts, the Company anticipates that it could fail to comply with the total net leverage ratio covenant in the third quarter of 2020 as a result of projected declines in consolidated EBITDA resulting from current industry conditions caused by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting collapse in crude oil prices. However, the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months to fund its liabilities as they become due. Key elements affecting the Company’s liquidity position included the following as of March 31, 2020:                                                                                If the Company does not complete the amendment process and subsequently is not in compliance with the total net leverage ratio covenant under its revolving credit facility, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash on hand, together with cash flow from operations (after investments in capital expenditures), to repay the borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility or that it could seek to obtain an amendment or waiver from its lenders in order to avoid a default.Conference Call InformationThe call is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 10:00 am Central Time, is being webcast and can be accessed from the Company’s website at www.ir.oilstatesintl.com.

(unaudited)(A) The term Consolidated EBITDA consists of net loss plus net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and adjustments for certain other items such as non-cash asset impairment charges. Consolidated EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net loss or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included Consolidated EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Consolidated EBITDA provides useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. The Company uses Consolidated EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of the Company and its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan. The table above sets forth a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.(B) The terms EBITDA and Segment EBITDA consist of operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, and adjustments for certain other items such as non-cash asset impairment charges.
