CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things, the risk factors discussed in this quarterly report and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “indicate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based upon reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Important factors that may affect our expectations, estimates or projections include:

• a decline in, or substantial volatility of, oil or natural gas prices, and any related changes in expenditures by our customers;

• the effects of future acquisitions on our business;

• changes in customer requirements in markets or industries we serve;

• competition within our industry;

• general economic and market conditions;

• our access to current or future financing arrangements;

•our ability to replace or add workers at economic rates; and

•environmental and other governmental regulations.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This quarterly report includes market share data, industry data and forecasts that we obtained from internal company surveys (including estimates based on our knowledge and experience in the industry in which we operate), market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, industry publications and surveys. These sources include Baker Hughes Incorporated, the Association of Energy Service Companies, and the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy. Industry surveys and publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe such information is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources cited or used for our management’s industry estimates, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Statements as to our position relative to our competitors or as to market share refer to the most recent available data.

BASIC ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2017 (unaudited) 

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Basic” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with GAAP and financial statement requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

Emergence from Chapter 11

In connection with the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, on December 23, 2016 ("the Effective Date"), the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, to its consolidated financial statements. We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective December 31, 2016, to coincide with the timing of our normal December accounting period close.

The implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016 will not be comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016.

References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer to the Company on or after December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to December 31, 2016. Additionally, references to periods on or after December 31, 2016 refer to the Successor and references to periods prior to December 31, 2016 refer to the Predecessor.

Nature of Operations

Basic provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, fluid services, well servicing and contract drilling. These services are primarily provided using Basic’s fleet of equipment. Basic’s operations are concentrated in the major United States onshore oil and gas producing regions in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, California, the Rocky Mountains and Appalachia.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Basic has no variable interest in any other organization, entity, partnership or contract. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates

Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical and other pertinent information to determine these estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:

•Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets

•Impairment of property and equipment, and intangible assets

8

•Allowance for doubtful accounts

•Litigation and self-insured risk reserves

•Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition 

•Stock-based compensation and

•Income taxes

As of March 31, 2017, Basic had no borrowings and $51.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under its Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the "ABL Facility"), giving Basic $23.4 million of available borrowing capacity based on its borrowing base determined as of such date.

5. Fair Value Measurements

10

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. is as follows:

	Fair Value	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Hierarchy Level	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
		(In thousands)
Term Loan	3	$	152,928	$	156,743	$	152,838	$	152,838

The fair value of the Term Loan Agreement is based upon our discounted cash flows model using a third-party discount rate. The carrying amount of our ABL Facility approximates fair value due to its variable-rate characteristics.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable-related parties, capital leases, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

Basic is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. Basic cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. Basic continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Management believes that the likelihood of any of these items resulting in a material adverse impact to Basic’s financial position, liquidity, capital resources or future results of operations is remote.

Currently, Basic has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to bring Basic into total compliance with the laws and regulations. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of Basic’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.

Litigation

From time to time, Basic is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that Basic considers to be a part of the ordinary course of business. Basic is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it considers probable or reasonably possible, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Self-Insured Risk Accruals

Basic is self-insured up to retention limits as it relates to workers’ compensation, general liability claims, and medical and dental coverage of its employees. Basic generally maintains no physical property damage coverage on its workover rig fleet, with the exception of certain of its 24-hour workover rigs and newly manufactured rigs. Basic has deductibles per occurrence for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, automobile liability and medical coverage of $5.0 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $400,000, respectively. Basic maintains accruals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, self-insured risk accruals totaled approximately $32.2 million and $35.0 million, respectively, and these amounts are included in other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

In February 2017, Basic granted certain members of management 801,322 performance-based restricted stock units and 320,532 performance-based stock option awards, which each vest over a three-year period.

Treasury Stock

Basic has acquired treasury shares through net share settlements for payment of payroll taxes upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units and awards. Basic acquired a total of 1,032 shares through net share settlements during the first three months of 2017 and issued 2,698 shares from treasury stock for accelerated vestings in the first three months of 2017 (Successor). Basic acquired 219,837 shares through net share settlements during the first three months of 2016 (Predecessor).

11

8. Incentive Plan

The following table reflects compensation activity related to the management incentive plan for the three-month period ending March 31, 2017 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Compensation expense		Unrecognized compensation expense		Weighted average remaining life	Fair value of share based awards vested
Restricted stock	$	3,616	$	49,367	2.4	$	101
Restricted stock options	$	832	$	12,229	9.8	$	—

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no excess tax benefit related to equity incentive compensation due to the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”). Awards granted prior to the Company's emergence from its Chapter 11 Cases on December 23, 2016 were subsequently cancelled. All outstanding awards at March 31, 2017 were granted upon emergence as part of the Prepackaged Plan or during the first quarter of 2017, and relate to the Company's newly issued shares. If there were no NOL, then there would have been no excess tax benefit at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 respectively. 

Stock Option Awards

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Stock options granted under the Company's management incentive plan expire 10 years from the date they are granted, and vest over a three-year service period.

The following table reflects changes during the three-month period and a summary of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2017:

13.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The purpose of this update to is to simplify overly complex areas of GAAP, while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update was adopted for Basic beginning January 1, 2017, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” to simplify the measurement of inventory, which requires inventory measured using the first in, first out (FIFO) or average cost methods to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Currently, these inventory methods are required to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or market. "Market" could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.  This update was adopted for Basic beginning January 1, 2017, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Not yet adopted

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers-Deferral of the Effective Date,” that defers by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" represented a comprehensive revenue recognition standard to supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and align GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to match the delivery of goods or services to customers to the consideration the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for several transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, including additional disclosures of the standard’s application impact to individual financial statement line items.

15

We are currently determining the impact of the new standard on the revenue streams from the services we provide. Our approach includes performing a detailed review of key contracts representative of our different businesses and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Our services are primarily short-term in nature, and our assessment at this stage is that we do not expect the new revenue recognition standard will have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. We currently intend to adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The purpose of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for Basic in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Basic expects to recognize additional assets and liabilities related to operating leases with terms longer than one year.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15-"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standard is effective for Basic for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this update are intended to clarify cash flow treatment of certain cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory." Under current U.S. GAAP, the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer is prohibited until the asset has been sold to an outside party. Under the new standard, an entity will recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Basic is in the process of determining whether this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18- "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which clarifies the treatment of cash inflows into and cash payments from restricted cash. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents for public entities. The amendments in this update provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, thereby reducing the diversity in practice described above.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Overview 

We provide a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, well servicing, fluid services and contract drilling. Our results of operations reflect the impact of our acquisition strategy as a leading consolidator in the domestic land-based well services industry. Our acquisitions have increased our breadth of service offerings at the well site and expanded our market presence. In implementing our acquisition strategy, we made three business acquisitions during 2015. These transactions, along with our emergence from bankruptcy as well as market fluctuations, may make our revenues, expenses and income not directly comparable between periods.

Our total hydraulic horsepower (“hhp”) remained constant at 444,000 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks decreased from 985 in the first quarter of 2016 to 935 in the first quarter of 2017. Our weighted average number of well servicing rigs remained constant at 421 during the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Our operating revenues from each of our segments, and their relative percentages of our total revenues, consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017				2016
	(Successor)				(Predecessor)
Revenues:
Completion and remedial services	$	80.4	44	%	$	39.7	30	%
Fluid services	$	50.2	27	%	$	50.3	39	%
Well servicing	$	48.6	27	%	$	38.9	30	%
Contract drilling	$	2.8	2	%	$	1.5	1	%
Total revenues	$	182.0	100	%	$	130.4	100	%

 During the fourth quarter of 2015, oil prices declined to a level near $50 per barrel (WTI Cushing) and dropped to levels below $30 before rebounding in late 2016.  During the first quarter of 2017, oil prices improved somewhat, to around $50 per barrel. As a result, we have seen gradual improvement in our customers’ activity levels and utilization of our equipment.  Increases in customer confidence have caused the North American onshore drilling rig count to rise consistently throughout the first quarter, resulting in a significant increase in completion-related activity during the first quarter of 2017. Additionally, production related activities, such as Well Servicing and Fluid Services, have seen increases as customers have increased their maintenance and workover budgets in 2017.

As a result of increased concentration of equipment and activity, utilization and pricing for our services has remained competitive in our oil-based operating areas. Natural gas prices have been depressed for a prolonged period and utilization and pricing for our services in our natural gas-based operating areas remained challenged.

We believe that the most important performance measures for our business segments are as follows:

• Completion and Remedial Services — segment profits as a percent of revenues;

• Well Servicing — rig hours, rig utilization rate, revenue per rig hour, profits per rig hour and segment profits as a percent of revenues; 

• Fluid Services — trucking hours, revenue per truck, segment profits per truck and segment profits as a percent of revenues; and

• Contract Drilling — rig operating days, revenue per drilling day, profits per drilling day and segment profits as a percent of revenues.

Segment profits are computed as segment operating revenues less direct operating costs. These measurements provide important information to us about the activity and profitability of our lines of business. For a detailed analysis of these indicators for the Company, see “Segment Overview” below.

Selected Acquisitionsand Divestitures

During the year ended December 31, 2016 and through the first three months of 2017, we did not make any business acquisitions.

Segment Overview

Completion and Remedial Services

During the first three months of 2017, our completion and remedial services segment represented approximately 44% of our revenues. Revenues from our completion and remedial services segment are generally derived from a variety of services designed to complete and stimulate new oil and natural gas production or place cement slurry within the wellbores. Our completion and remedial services segment includes pumping services, rental and fishing tool operations, coiled tubing services, nitrogen services, snubbing and other services.  

Our pumping services provide both large and mid-sized fracturing services in selected markets, including vertical and horizontal wellbores. Cementing and acidizing services also are included in our pumping services operations. Our total hydraulic horsepower capacity for our pumping operations was 444,000 at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In this segment, we derive our revenues on a project-by-project basis in a competitive bidding process. Our bids are based on the amount and type of equipment and personnel required, with the materials consumed billed separately. During this extended period of decreased spending by oil and gas companies, we have discounted our rates to remain competitive, which has caused lower segment profits.

The following is an analysis of our completion and remedial services segment for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

			Segment
	Revenues		Profits %
2016: (Predecessor)
First Quarter	$	39,696	12	%
Second Quarter	$	36,228	9	%
Third Quarter	$	49,424	18	%
Fourth Quarter	$	59,219	14	%
Full Year	$	184,567	14	%
2017: (Successor)
First Quarter	$	80,431	16	%

The increase in completion and remedial services revenue to $80.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 from $59.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 resulted primarily from increased activity particularly in our coil tubing and fracing operations. Segment profits as a percentage of revenue increased to 16% in the first quarter of 2017 from 14% in fourth quarter of 2016 on the incremental effect of higher revenues and improved pricing and utilization of our equipment.

Fluid Services 

During the first three months of 2017, our fluid services segment represented approximately 27% of our revenues. Revenues in our fluid services segment are earned from the sale, transportation, treatment, and recycling, storage and disposal of fluids used in the drilling, production and maintenance of oil and natural gas wells. Revenues also include well site construction and maintenance services. The fluid services segment has a base level of business consisting of transporting and disposing of salt water produced as a by-product of the production of oil and natural gas. These services are necessary for our customers and usually have a stable demand but produce lower relative segment profits than other parts of our fluid services segment. Fluid services for completion and workover projects require fresh or brine water for making drilling mud, circulating fluids or frac fluids used during a job, and all of these fluids require storage tanks and hauling and disposal. Because we can provide a full complement of fluid sales, trucking, storage and disposal required on most drilling and workover projects, the add-on services associated with drilling and workover activity generally enable us to generate higher segment profits. The higher segment profits for these add-on services are due to the relatively small incremental labor costs associated with providing these services in addition to our base fluid services segment. Revenues from our water treatment and recycling services include the treatment, recycling and disposal of wastewater, including frac water and flowback, to reuse this water in the completion and production processes. Revenues from our well site construction services are derived primarily from preparing and maintaining access roads and well locations, installing small diameter gathering lines and pipelines, constructing

18

foundations to support drilling rigs and providing maintenance services for oil and natural gas facilities. We price fluid services by the job, by the hour, or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.

  The following is an analysis of our fluid services operations for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	Weighted				Segment
	Average		Revenue		Profits Per
	Number of		Per Fluid		Fluid
	Fluid Service	Trucking	Service		Service		Segment
	Trucks	Hours	Truck		Truck		Profits %
2016: (Predecessor)
First Quarter	985	521,500	$	51	$	10	18	%
Second Quarter	976	474,400	$	47	$	7	15	%
Third Quarter	962	499,900	$	49	$	8	17	%
Fourth Quarter	944	503,200	$	52	$	7	13	%
Full Year	966	1,999,000	$	199	$	31	16	%
2017: (Successor)
First Quarter	935	484,300	$	54	$	9	17	%

Revenue per fluid service truck increased to $54,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $52,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 on higher disposal well utilization and hot oiling services revenues. Segment profit percentage increased to 17% in the first quarter of 2017 from 13% in the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily due to the incremental effect of higher revenues and higher skim oil sales.

Well Servicing

During the first three months of 2017, our well servicing segment represented 27% of our revenues. Revenue in our well servicing segment is derived from maintenance, workover, completion, manufacturing and plugging and abandonment services. We provide maintenance-related services as part of the normal, periodic upkeep of producing oil and natural gas wells. Maintenance-related services represent a relatively consistent component of our business. Workover and completion services generate more revenue per hour than maintenance work due to the use of auxiliary equipment, but demand for workover and completion services fluctuates more with the overall activity level in the industry. We also have a rig manufacturing and servicing facility that builds new workover rigs, performs large-scale refurbishments of used workover rigs and provides maintenance services on previously manufactured rigs.

We charge our well servicing rig customers for services on an hourly basis at rates that are determined by the type of service and equipment required, market conditions in the region in which the rig operates, the ancillary equipment provided on the rig and the necessary personnel. Depending on the type of job, we may also charge by the project or by the day. We measure the activity levels of our well servicing rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a 55-hour work week per rig. Our fleet remained constant at a weighted average number of 421 rigs.

The following is an analysis of our well servicing operations for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	Weighted
	Average		Rig		Revenue
	Number		Utilization		Per Rig		Profits Per

2016: (Predecessor)
First Quarter	421	108,400	36	%	$	321	$	44	11	%
Second Quarter	421	113,700	38	%	$	308	$	44	14	%
Third Quarter	421	136,600	45	%	$	313	$	60	19	%
Fourth Quarter	421	146,200	49	%	$	300	$	43	14	%
Full Year	421	504,900	42	%	$	310	$	47	14	%
2017: (Successor)
First Quarter	421	157,600	52	%	$	307	$	49	16	%

19

Rig utilization was 52% in the first quarter of 2017, up from 49% in the fourth quarter of 2016.  The higher utilization rate in the first quarter of 2017 resulted from an increase in well servicing hours and increases in activity in selected basins. Our segment profit percentage increased to 16% for the first quarter of 2017 from 14% in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due to increased utilization and improved plugging and abandonment activity.

Contract Drilling

During the first three months of 2017, our contract drilling segment represented approximately 2% of our revenues. Revenues from our contract drilling segment are derived primarily from the drilling of new wells.

Within this segment, we charge our drilling rig customers a “daywork” daily rate, or “footage” at an established rate per number of feet drilled. We measure the activity level of our drilling rigs on a weekly basis by calculating a rig utilization rate based on a seven-day work week per rig. Our contract drilling rig fleet had a weighted average of 12 rigs during the first quarter of 2017.  

The following is an analysis of our contract drilling segment for each of the quarters in 2016, the full year ended December 31, 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):  

	Weighted
	Average	Rig
	Number of	Operating	Revenue Per		Profits Per			Segment

2017: (Successor)
First Quarter	12	135	$	20,500	$	2,600		13	%

 Revenue per drilling day increased to $20,500 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $17,500 in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue per drilling day in the first quarter of 2017 was due to an increase in rig trucking revenues and utilization. Segment profit percentage increased to 13% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to segment loss of 2% in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to increased utilization of our contract drilling trucking operations.

Operating Cost Overview

Our operating costs are comprised primarily of labor, including workers’ compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance. The majority of our employees are paid on an hourly basis. We also incur costs to employ personnel to sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our fleet. These costs are not directly tied to our level of business activity. Repair and maintenance is performed by our crews, company maintenance personnel and outside service providers. Compensation for our administrative personnel in local operating yards and in our corporate office is accounted for as general and administrative expenses. Insurance is generally a fixed cost regardless of utilization and relates to the number of rigs, trucks and other equipment in our fleet, employee payroll and safety record.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations of the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016 will not be comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016. For additional segment-related information and trends, please read “Segment Overview” above.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Revenues. Revenues increased by 40% to $182.0 million during the first quarter of 2017 from $130.4 million during the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to increased demand for our services by our customers, particularly completion and remedial services, compared to the same period in 2016, when our customers were working with reduced capital budgets and ramping down projects. After the prolonged period of lower oil prices, our customers have gradually begun to increase capital budgets.

Completion and remedial services revenues increased by 103% to $80.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $39.7 million in the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue between these periods was primarily due to improved demand for completion related activities and slightly improved pricing for our services, particularly in our pumping services and coil tubing lines of business. Total hydraulic horsepower remained constant at 444,000 at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

Fluid services revenues remained constant at $50.2 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Our revenue per fluid service truck increased 6% to $54,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $51,000 in the same period in 2016 mainly due to increases in disposal utilization and skim oil revenues. Our weighted average number of fluid service trucks decreased to 935 during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 985 in the same period in 2016.  

Well servicing revenues increased by 25% to $48.6 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $38.9 million during the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by an increase in utilization of our equipment, primarily due to increases in customer demand. Our weighted average number of well servicing rigs remained constant at 421 during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016.  Utilization was 52% in the first quarter of 2017, compared to 36% in the comparable quarter of 2016. Revenue per rig hour in the first quarter of 2017 was $307, decreasing from $321 in the comparable quarter of 2016 due to competitive rate pressures. 

Contract drilling revenues increased by 84% to $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.5 million in the same period in 2016. The number of rig operating days increased 48% to 135 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 91 in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue and rig operating days was due to an increase in drilling activity in the Permian Basin.  

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which primarily consist of labor, including workers’ compensation and health insurance, repair and maintenance, fuel and insurance, increased to $152.1 million during the first quarter of 2017 from $112.0 million in the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in activity and corresponding increases in employee headcount and wages to adapt to current activity levels.  

Direct operating expenses for the completion and remedial services segment increased by 93% to $67.3 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2016 due primarily to increased activity levels overall, especially in our pumping and coil tubing services. Segment profits increased to 16% of revenues during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 12% for the same period in 2016, due to the improved utilization of equipment and incremental margins from a higher revenue base.  

Direct operating expenses for the fluid services segment increased by 1% to $41.5 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 2016, mainly due to activity levels remaining constant. Segment profits were 17% of revenues during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 18% for the same period in 2016, due to a smaller fleet to spread fixed costs.

Direct operating expenses for the well servicing segment increased by 19% to $40.9 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $34.5 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in direct operating expenses corresponds to increased workover and plugging activity levels. Segment profits increased to 16% of revenues during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 11% of revenues during the first quarter of 2016 due to improved utilization of our equipment and incremental margins from a higher revenue base.

Direct operating expenses for the contract drilling segment increased54% to $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2016, due to increased activity and rig operating days. Segment profits

21

increased to 13% of revenues during the first quarter of 2017 from a segment loss of 4% during the first quarter of 2016 due to an increase in drilling projects during the first quarter of 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 16% to $34.2 million during the first quarter of 2017 from $29.6 million for the same period in 2016, due to costs related to increased stock-based compensation expense and professional fees associated with the implementation of our fresh start accounting process. General and administrative expenses included $4.4 million and $2.8 million of stock-based compensation expense during the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Depreciation and AmortizationExpenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $25.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $56.2 million for the same period in 2016.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the revaluation of our asset base as of December 31, 2016 as part of the adoption of the fresh start accounting associated with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $9.1 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $20.7 million during the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in interest expense is due to the cancellation of our unsecured notes as part of our emergence from bankruptcy on December 23, 2016 offset by the full quarter impact of our Term Loan.  

Income Tax Expense. There was income tax expense of $375,000 during the first quarter of 2017 compared to an income tax benefit of $4.5 million for the same period in 2016. Excluding the impact of the valuation allowance, our effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 was approximately 37% and 36%, respectively.  The difference in the rate from 2016 to 2017 is due to the impact of increased state tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2017, our primary capital resources were utilization of capital leases and borrowings under our $75.0 million Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the"ABL Facility"), partially offset by net cash used in operations. As of March 31, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $50.6 million compared to $98.9 million as of December 31, 2016. An additional amount of $2.4 million is classified as restricted cash. We have utilized, and expect to utilize in the future, bank and capital lease financing and sales of equity to obtain capital resources. When appropriate, we will consider public or private debt and equity offerings and non-recourse transactions to meet our liquidity needs.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease compared to cash used in operating activities of $20.8 million during the same period in 2016.  Operating cash flow usage in the first three months of 2017 was lower than the same period in 2016 due to improved operating results and a lower operating loss.

Our liquidity, including our ability to meet our ongoing operational obligations, is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand and our ability to generate cash flow from operations. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity depends upon industry conditions and financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. In the event that cash on hand and cash flow from operations is not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may have limited access to additional financing.

Capital Expenditures

Cash capital expenditures during the first three months of 2017 were $25.9 million compared to $4.6 million in the same period of 2016. We added $22.4 million of additional assets through our capital lease program and other financing arrangements during the first three months of 2017 compared to $1.4 million of additional assets in the same period in 2016.  

We currently have planned capital expenditures for the full year of 2017 of under $115.0 million, including capital leases of $70.0 million. We do not budget acquisitions in the normal course of business, and we regularly engage in discussions related to potential acquisitions related to the oilfield services industry.

Capital Resources and Financing

Our current primary capital resources are cash flow from our operations, our ABL Facility, the ability to enter into capital leases, the ability to incur additional secured indebtedness, and a cash balance of $50.6 million at March 31, 2017. We had no borrowings and $51.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility, as of March 31, 2017, giving us $23.4 million of available borrowing capacity. In 2017, we financed activities in excess of cash flow from operations primarily through the use of cash, capital leases and other financing arrangements. The Term Loan Agreement had $163.8 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans as of March 31, 2017 and no additional borrowing capacity.

22

On April 13, 2017, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering $1 billion of securities. As of April 24, 2017, the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC, and has not indicated whether it will review the filing.

Contractual Obligations

We have significant contractual obligations in the future that will require capital resources. Our primary contractual obligations are (1) our capital leases, (2) our operating leases, (3) our asset retirement obligations and (4) our other long-term liabilities. The following table outlines our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	Obligations Due in
	Periods Ended March 31,
Contractual Obligations	Total		2017		2018 to 2019		2020 to 2021		Thereafter
Term Loan Credit Agreement	$	163,763	$	1,238	$	3,300	$	159,225	$	—
Capital leases and other financing arrangements	96,818		35,999		58,369		2,357		93
Operating leases	21,925		4,298		8,923		6,726		1,978
Asset retirement obligation	2,475		548		484		542		901
Total	$	284,981	$	42,083	$	71,076	$	168,850	$	2,972

Our long-term debt as of March 31, 2017, excluding capital leases, consisted of $162.1 million under our Term Loan Agreement. Interest on long-term debt relates to our future contractual interest obligations under our Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement and our capital leases. Our capital leases relate primarily to light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and trailers. Our operating leases relate primarily to real estate. Our asset retirement obligation relates to disposal wells.

Our ability to access additional sources of financing will be dependent on our operating cash flows and demand for our services, which could be negatively impacted due to the extreme volatility of commodity prices.

Other Matters

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Basic provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Basic” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with GAAP and financial statement requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

Emergence from Chapter 11

In connection with the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, on December 23, 2016 ("the Effective Date"), the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, to its consolidated financial statements. We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective December 31, 2016, to coincide with the timing of our normal December accounting period close.

The implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated financial statements and resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to December 31, 2016 will not be comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016.

References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer to the Company on or after December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the implementation of the Prepackaged Plan and the application of fresh start accounting. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to December 31, 2016. Additionally, references to periods on or after December 31, 2016 refer to the Successor and references to periods prior to December 31, 2016 refer to the Predecessor.

Nature of Operations

Basic provides a wide range of well site services to oil and natural gas drilling and producing companies, including completion and remedial services, fluid services, well servicing and contract drilling. These services are primarily provided using Basic’s fleet of equipment. Basic’s operations are concentrated in the major United States onshore oil and gas producing regions in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, California, the Rocky Mountains and Appalachia.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Basic has no variable interest in any other organization, entity, partnership or contract. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates

Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical and other pertinent information to determine these estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:

•Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets

•Impairment of property and equipment, and intangible assets

•Allowance for doubtful accounts

•Litigation and self-insured risk reserves

•Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition 

•Stock-based compensation and

•Income taxes

Fair Value Measurements

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. is as follows:

	Fair Value	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016

		(In thousands)
Term Loan	3	$	152,928	$	156,743	$	152,838	$	152,838

The fair value of the Term Loan Agreement is based upon our discounted cash flows model using a third-party discount rate. The carrying amount of our ABL Facility approximates fair value due to its variable-rate characteristics.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable-related parties, capital leases, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

Basic is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. Basic cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. Basic continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Management believes that the likelihood of any of these items resulting in a material adverse impact to Basic’s financial position, liquidity, capital resources or future results of operations is remote.

Currently, Basic has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to bring Basic into total compliance with the laws and regulations. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of Basic’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.

Litigation

From time to time, Basic is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that Basic considers to be a part of the ordinary course of business. Basic is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it considers probable or reasonably possible, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Self-Insured Risk Accruals

Basic is self-insured up to retention limits as it relates to workers’ compensation, general liability claims, and medical and dental coverage of its employees. Basic generally maintains no physical property damage coverage on its workover rig fleet, with the exception of certain of its 24-hour workover rigs and newly manufactured rigs. Basic has deductibles per occurrence for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, automobile liability and medical coverage of $5.0 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $400,000, respectively. Basic maintains accruals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, self-insured risk accruals totaled approximately $32.2 million and $35.0 million, respectively, and these amounts are included in other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses.

If there were no NOL, then there would have been no excess tax benefit at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 respectively. 

Stock Option Awards

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Stock options granted under the Company's management incentive plan expire 10 years from the date they are granted, and vest over a three-year service period.

The following table reflects changes during the three-month period and a summary of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2017:

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The purpose of this update to is to simplify overly complex areas of GAAP, while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update was adopted for Basic beginning January 1, 2017, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” to simplify the measurement of inventory, which requires inventory measured using the first in, first out (FIFO) or average cost methods to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Currently, these inventory methods are required to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or market. "Market" could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.  This update was adopted for Basic beginning January 1, 2017, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Not yet adopted

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers-Deferral of the Effective Date,” that defers by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" represented a comprehensive revenue recognition standard to supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and align GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to match the delivery of goods or services to customers to the consideration the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for several transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, including additional disclosures of the standard’s application impact to individual financial statement line items.

We are currently determining the impact of the new standard on the revenue streams from the services we provide. Our approach includes performing a detailed review of key contracts representative of our different businesses and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Our services are primarily short-term in nature, and our assessment at this stage is that we do not expect the new revenue recognition standard will have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. We currently intend to adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The purpose of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for Basic in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Basic expects to recognize additional assets and liabilities related to operating leases with terms longer than one year.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15-"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standard is effective for Basic for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this update are intended to clarify cash flow treatment of certain cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory." Under current U.S. GAAP, the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer is prohibited until the asset has been sold to an outside party. Under the new standard, an entity will recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Basic is in the process of determining whether this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18- "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which clarifies the treatment of cash inflows into and cash payments from restricted cash. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents for public entities. The amendments in this update provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, thereby reducing the diversity in practice described above.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Basic intends to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect significant changes to the cash flow statement as a result.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Basic” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with GAAP and financial statement requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Basic has no variable interest in any other organization, entity, partnership or contract. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates

Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical and other pertinent information to determine these estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:

•Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets

•Impairment of property and equipment, and intangible assets

•Allowance for doubtful accounts

•Litigation and self-insured risk reserves

•Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition 

•Stock-based compensation and

•Income taxes
