Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SOI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), a leading independent provider of supply chain management and logistics solutions designed to drive efficiencies and reduce costs for the oil and natural gas industry, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2020.

Operational Update and Outlook

During the second quarter 2020, an average of 20 mobile proppant management systems were fully utilized, a 76% decrease from the 83 fully utilized systems averaged in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in fully utilized systems was primarily due to a sharp decline in active hydraulic fracturing crews that began in March and bottomed in May as oil and gas operators reduced budgets and activity in response to lower oil and gas demand and prices. Activity has since increased and the Company expects activity could increase by 35-45% sequentially in the third quarter 2020 as many operators resume a modest level of completions activity.

“I’m pleased that the Solaris team was able to respond quickly to the global pandemic pressures and produce a near breakeven Adjusted EBITDA result at what we believe was the bottom of the cycle while continuing to generate significant free cash flow,” Solaris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Zartler commented. “While the pace and the ultimate level of this recovery are still unknown, we are encouraged by the modest return to activity we are seeing from our customers. Our debt free balance sheet, ample cash and liquidity allow us to continue offering our customers the highest level of service quality and vendor dependability while continuing to invest in our business and return cash to shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Review

Solaris reported a net loss of $(5.5) million, or $(0.20) per diluted Class A share, for second quarter 2020, compared to a net loss of ($19.1) million, or $(0.65) per diluted Class A share, in first quarter 2020 and net income of $13.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted Class A share, in second quarter 2019. Adjusted pro forma net income for second quarter 2020 was $(7.0) million, or $(0.16) per fully diluted share, compared to adjusted pro forma net income in first quarter 2020 of $7.7 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, and $18.0 million, or $0.38 per fully diluted share in second quarter 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2020 was $(0.4) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $18.0 million in first quarter 2020 and $32.5 million in second quarter 2019.

Revenues were $9.3 million for second quarter 2020, which were down 80% from first quarter 2020 and down 85% compared to second quarter 2019.

Capital Expenditures, Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Capital expenditures in second quarter 2020 were $0.9 million compared to capital expenditures of $0.7 million during first quarter 2020. The Company expects capital expenditures for full year 2020 to be $5-$10 million.

Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less investment in property, plant and equipment) during second quarter 2020 was $21.8 million, which represented the sixth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow for the Company.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $63.6 million of cash on the balance sheet, which reflects approximately $1.40 per fully diluted share of available cash. The Company’s $50.0 million credit facility remains undrawn.

Shareholder Returns

On May 18, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.105 per share of Class A common stock, which was paid on June 16, 2020 to holders of record as of June 2, 2020. A distribution of $0.105 per unit was also approved for holders of units in Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, LLC (“Solaris LLC”). Since initiating the dividend in December 2018, the Company has paid 7 consecutive quarterly dividends. Cumulatively, the Company has returned approximately $63 million in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases since December of 2018.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION — ADJUSTED EBITDA

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income, plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense, including franchise taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.

We believe that our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

SOLARIS OILFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION — ADJUSTED PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER FULLY DILUTED SHARE

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Solaris assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests in Solaris LLC not held by Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company doesn't believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of ongoing business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Solaris as a result of increases in its ownership of Solaris LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Solaris. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Solaris, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are set forth below.
