HOUSTON, May 6, 2019 – NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCSM) (the “Company,” “NCS,” “we” or “us”), a leading provider of highly engineered products and support services that facilitate the optimization of oil and natural gas well completions and field development strategies, today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Financial Review

Revenues were $52.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which was a decrease of 25% compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes of fracturing systems product sales and services in the U.S. and Canada, and lower tracer diagnostics revenue in the United States. The decrease was partially offset by increased sales of our well construction and Repeat Precision, LLC (“Repeat Precision”) products and higher activity outside of North America. Total revenues increased by 5% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 with an increase of 30% in Canada partially offset by a decrease of 8% in the United States and a decrease of 28% outside of North America.

Net loss was $(12.0) million, or $(0.26) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which included a net impact of $10.1 million (after tax effect of $9.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share) related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and an income tax valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying value of our U.S. deferred tax asset. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items, was $(2.1) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. This compares to a net income of $11.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018, which included a net benefit of $1.6 million ($1.2 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses. Adjusted net income, which excludes these items, was $9.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $(11.3) million as compared to the first quarter of 2018. Gross profit, which we define as total revenues less total cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $26.1 million, or 49% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease compared to $37.1 million, or 52% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2018. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased in the first quarter as compared to the prior year due to increases in personnel, professional services to support our new enterprise resource planning system, higher share-based compensation and an increase in bad debt expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 14%, as compared to 26% for the first quarter of 2018.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity

The Company incurred capital expenditures of $2.8 million, net, for the first quarter of 2019 and $1.1 million, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the quarter, the Company made a cash payment of $10.0 million for the Repeat Precision earn-out consideration, which was paid to our joint venture partner.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $12.0 million in cash, total availability under its revolving credit facility of $55.0 million and $26.0 million in total debt. On May 1, 2019, we entered into a new Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that provides for a (i) senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million made available to Pioneer Investment, Inc. and (ii) senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million made available to NCS Multistage Inc. The new senior secured credit facility will mature in May 2023.

Review and Outlook

NCS’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Nipper, commented, “We are pleased with our operating and financial performance during the first quarter of 2019 despite the challenging market conditions in both the U.S. and Canada. A few key highlights for NCS so far in 2019 include:

Sequential growth in U.S. product revenues for the sixth consecutive quarter;

30% Canadian revenue growth as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, exceeding a comparable rig count increase of 3%;

Our highest-ever quarterly revenue for our Canadian tracer diagnostics operations;

The successful use of our fracturing systems technology in a three mile lateral in Canada, a record for NCS;

The completion of our Tech Center in Calgary, facilitating our research and development efforts;

The first installations of our TerrusTM water injection frac sleeve and our new QumulusTM Ultimate Recovery system designed to support secondary recovery and enhanced oil recovery in multistage horizontal wells; and

Strong performance at Repeat Precision supported by continued market penetration of our Purple Seal Express integrated frac plug and setting tool system.

We continue to expect capital spending by our U.S. customers for 2019 will be below 2018 levels despite the recent increase in near-term oil prices. Customer budgets in Canada are materially lower in 2019, especially in the first half of the year. International markets have been more resilient, with current expectations for a modest increase in customer spending outside of North America. We remain highly focused on executing our strategy to deliver long-term value to shareholders, including:

Leveraging our full suite of products and services in each of our operating geographies;

Commercializing new technologies to help our customers save money, increase efficiencies and maximize resource recovery;

Make disciplined investments in our business, consistent with our capital light financial model; and

Generate free cash flow and enhance our strong balance sheet, facilitating improving financial returns.

I want to thank all of my co-workers at NCS and Repeat Precision for their continued efforts and dedication. I have the privilege to work with the best team in the industry and we’re focused on providing our customers with the products and services that will enable them to succeed, which will in turn allow us to generate value for our shareholders.”

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. For an explanation of these measures and a reconciliation, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating performance or which, in the case of share-based compensation, is non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income is defined as net (loss) income attributable to NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance. Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share is defined as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of the purchase and development of software and technology) plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment, as presented in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share are important measures that exclude costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, certain costs associated with our capital structure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation presents our financial performance in a manner that is comparable to the presentation provided by many of our peers. We believe free cash flow is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and other investment needs. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow are key metrics that management uses to assess the period-to-period performance of our core business operations. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share enables investors to assess our performance from period to period using the same metrics utilized by management and that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share enable investors to evaluate our performance relative to other companies that are not subject to such factors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow (our “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), are not measures of net income, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial performance as reported under GAAP and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

The tables below set forth reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under GAAP:
