NUVERRA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2018 RESULTS

- Q3 2018 revenue of $49.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million -

- Positive free cash flow for the nine months of $13.6 million -

- Total available liquidity of $31.3 million -

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (November 5, 2018) - Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: NES) (“Nuverra,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

• Third quarter revenue was $49.7 million, an increase of approximately 1.4%, or $0.8 million, when compared with revenue of $48.9 million in the second quarter of 2018.

• When compared to the same period in the prior year, third quarter revenue increased 1.6% or $0.8 million, and was comprised of 0.7% for pricing increases and 8.3% for an increase in activities, offset by 7.4% due to the exit of the Eagle Ford Shale area.

• Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million compared with $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Disposal volumes in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast divisions increased in the third quarter but were offset by lower disposal water pipeline volume in the Southern division.

• Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter decreased by $2.9 million over the same period in the prior year. Higher disposal water volumes in the current year were offset by higher reliance on third party contract drivers and lower disposal water pipeline volumes in the Southern division.

• Total liquidity available for capital spending and other purposes as of September 30, 2018 was $31.3 million.

“Nuverra’s revenue continues to improve both sequentially and compared to 2017. The Company improved its liquidity position with $31.3 million of availability on September 30th and the total debt to AEBITDA ratio for the last twelve months was 2.3. As we have repositioned the Company to focus on higher return opportunities, we have sold underutilized assets which has assisted in generating positive free cash flow of $13.6 million through September 30th. We recently closed the Clearwater acquisition which we expect will be a platform for future organic growth and we continue to invest in the existing business to further improve our competitive position,” said Charlie Thompson, Interim Chief Executive Officer.

THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

Third quarter revenue was $49.7 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 1.4%, from $48.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. Of this 1.4% increase, approximately 2.1% is attributable to increases in activities, offset by 0.5% for pricing decreases and 0.2% due to the exit of the Eagle Ford Shale area. When compared to the third quarter of 2017, third quarter revenue increased by 1.6% or $0.8 million and was comprised of 0.7% for pricing and 8.3% for an increase in activities, offset by 7.4% due to the exit of the Eagle Ford Shale area.

Gross profit adjusted for special items decreased 2.7% to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2018 when compared to the second quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin fell 80 basis points, driven by timing of higher margin water transfer work and increased reliance on higher cost contract drivers. Total costs and expenses, adjusted for special items, were $55.9 million, a 1.8% decrease compared with $56.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by lower depreciation expense.

Net loss for the third quarter was $7.1 million, an improvement of $4.1 million when compared with a net loss of $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. For the third quarter of 2018, the Company reported a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $7.4 million. Special items in the third quarter primarily included gains on the sale of underutilized assets, transaction costs incurred in connection with the Clearwater acquisition on October 5, 2018, and stock-based compensation expense. This compares with a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million compared with $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Disposal volumes in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast divisions increased in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter, but were offset by lower disposal water pipeline volume in the Southern division. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.9%, compared with 8.5% in the second quarter of 2018. When compared to the third quarter in 2017, adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.9 million, or 6.1%. Higher disposal water volumes in the current year were offset by higher reliance on third party contract drivers and lower disposal water pipeline volumes in the Southern division.

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 (“YTD”)

YTD revenue was $148.3 million, an increase of $18.6 million, or 14.4%, from $129.6 million for the same period in 2017. Of this 14.4% increase, approximately 3.7% is attributable to pricing increases and 16.7% is a result of increases in activities, offset by 6.0% due to the exit of the Eagle Ford Shale area.

YTD net loss, adjusted for special items, was $30.0 million, an improvement of $31.8 million when compared with a net loss, adjusted for special items, of $61.8 million for the same period in 2017. YTD special items primarily included severance costs related to the departure of our former CEO and $4.6 million in long-lived asset impairment charges for assets held for sale primarily in the Southern division. Additionally, special items included restructuring charges related to our exit of the Eagle Ford Shale area, stock-based compensation expense, and a gain from the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability.

YTD adjusted EBITDA was $10.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 27.5%, when compared with the same period in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the 2018 YTD period was 7.0%, compared with 6.3% in 2017.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $4.2 million, while asset sales net of capital expenditures provided proceeds of $9.4 million. Free cash flow, defined as cash from operations less net cash capital expenditures totaled $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, up from negative $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. Asset sales were related to unused or underutilized assets. The proceeds are expected to be reinvested in returns-driven growth projects during the fourth quarter of 2018, including the purchase of new trucks for our fleet.

Total liquidity available for capital spending and other purposes as of September 30, 2018 was $31.3 million. This consisted of cash and available borrowings of $21.1 million, plus an additional $10.2 million of borrowings available under our revolving facility specifically for capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2018, total debt outstanding was $35.6 million, consisting of $12.7 million under our senior secured term loan facility, $20.6 million under our second lien term loan facility, and $2.3 million of capital leases for vehicle financings.

ACQUISITION OF CLEARWATER SOLUTIONS

As previously announced, on October 5, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Clearwater Three, LLC, Clearwater Five, LLC, and Clearwater Solutions, LLC (collectively, “Clearwater”) for an initial purchase price of $41.9 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments (the “Acquisition”). Clearwater is a supplier of waste water disposal services used by the oil and gas industry in the Marcellus and Utica Shale areas. Clearwater has three salt water disposal wells in service, all of which are located in Ohio. This acquisition expands our service offerings in the Marcellus and Utica Shale areas in our Northeast division.

Consideration consisted of $41.9 million in cash which was funded primarily by a $32.5 million bridge loan that will be repaid with proceeds from a planned offering to shareholders of common stock purchase rights. In addition, our first lien credit agreement lenders provided us with an additional term loan under the first lien credit agreement in the amount of $10.0 million which was used to finance a portion of the Acquisition.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As previously disclosed, the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy on August 7, 2017, or the “Effective Date,” and elected to apply fresh start accounting as of July 31, 2017 to coincide with the timing of the normal accounting period close. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to July 31, 2017, while references to “Predecessor” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on and prior to July 31, 2017. The Successor and Predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods are presented in the tables following this release.

For discussion purposes, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor periods to derive combined results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. However, because of various adjustments to the condensed consolidated

2

financial statements in connection with the application of fresh start accounting, the results of operations for the Successor period are not comparable to those of the Predecessor period. The Company believes that, subject to consideration of the impact of fresh start accounting, combining the results of the Successor and Predecessor periods provides meaningful information about the financial results of the Company, including revenues and costs that assist a reader in understanding the financial results for the applicable periods.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations or balance sheets of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business results, and evaluates overall performance with respect to such indicators. Management believes that excluding items such as acquisition expenses, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, asset impairments, restructuring charges, expenses related to litigation and resolution of lawsuits, and other charges, which may or may not be non-recurring, among other items that are inconsistent in amount and frequency (as with acquisition expenses), or determined pursuant to complex formulas that incorporate factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control (as with stock-based compensation), for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and comparisons to the past and future operating performance. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per share, in addition to related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the Company’s management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s liquidity or ability to fund cash needs. Not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner, and our presentation may not be comparable to the presentations of other companies.

For illustrative purposes, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor periods to derive combined results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for these non-GAAP reconciliations. The combination was generated by addition of comparable financial statement line item captions. However, because of various adjustments to the condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with the application of fresh start accounting, including asset valuation adjustments and liability adjustments, the results of operations for the Successor period are not comparable to those of the Predecessor period. The financial information preceding these non-GAAP reconciliations provides the Successor and Predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods. The Company believes that subject to consideration of the impact of fresh start accounting, combining the results of the Successor and Predecessor periods provides meaningful information about the financial results of the Company, including revenues and costs that assist a reader in understanding the financial results for the applicable periods.
