HOUSTON, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Select Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: WTTR) ("Select" or the "Company"), a leading provider of sustainable water and chemical solutions to the U.S. unconventional oil and gas industry, today announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Consolidated Financial Information

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $255.1 million as compared to $204.6 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $133.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $11.2 million as compared to a net loss of $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 and a net loss of $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

For the fourth quarter of 2021, gross profit was $17.9 million, as compared to a gross profit of $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 and a gross loss of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Total gross margin was 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to 4.4% in the third quarter of 2021 and (3.0)% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin before depreciation and amortization ("D&A") for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 16.6% as compared to 15.6% for the third quarter of 2021 and 14.5% for the fourth quarter of 2020.

SG&A during the fourth quarter of 2021 was $25.2 million as compared to $22.0 million during the third quarter of 2021 and $15.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. SG&A during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2021 was impacted by non-recurring transaction costs of $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA was $26.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $10.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by the deduction of $19.0 million of non-recurring bargain purchase price gains that benefited Net Income during the quarter related to our recent acquisition activity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by $2.4 million of non-recurring transaction costs, $1.6 million of non-cash losses on asset sales, $0.4 million in lease abandonment costs, and $0.8 million in other adjustments. Non-cash compensation expense accounted for an additional $3.2 million adjustment. Please refer to the end of this release for reconciliations of gross profit (loss) before D&A (non-GAAP measure) to gross profit (loss) and of Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure) to net income (loss).

John Schmitz, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, stated, "We wrapped up 2021 with another strong quarter of sequential revenue growth while expanding margins and recording positive net income. During the fourth quarter, we accelerated the execution of our strategy to improve and bolster our base business, advance our technology, ESG and diversification efforts, and execute on strategic M&A. While the fourth quarter was relatively stable from an industry activity standpoint, we outpaced our expectations and were able to generate 25% consolidated sequential revenue growth during the quarter. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly to $26.4 million, up 74% sequentially, supported by both our base business and our recent acquisitions.

"On the M&A front, we have seen meaningful contributions from our recent acquisitions, notably Complete Energy Services, which closed in the third quarter and Agua Libre and HB Rentals, which both closed in the fourth quarter. Setting aside the growth contributions from our recent M&A activity, our base business grew revenue sequentially by 14%. This continued growth was driven by a combination of market share capture and, more importantly, continued pricing improvements and operational efficiencies. Additionally, in the fourth quarter we announced an agreement to acquire Nuverra, a provider of environmental and water solutions in the Bakken, Haynesville and Northeast regions. The acquisition has been approved by a majority of Nuverra's shareholders and we anticipate it will close imminently.

"As I've mentioned before, consolidation is important for the industry, and I believe we will generate value through revenue and cost synergies resulting from these acquisitions. We will be diligent during 2022 about integrating these businesses, reducing costs and inefficiencies and generating cash through the sale of non-core or underutilized assets. With the current constructive commodity price backdrop and activity outlook, this consolidation strategy will put Select in a strong position to continue to grow the base business, meaningfully improve our pricing, capture market share and generate free cash flow.

"Through the combination of Complete, Agua Libre, HB Rentals and Nuverra, we will have added nearly $300 million of incremental annual run-rate revenue to the business since the beginning of the third quarter of 2021 through M&A. We will have also added a significant portfolio of water infrastructure assets, supported by a number of long-term contracts. These additions include more than 1.2 million barrels per day of permitted disposal capacity across the Permian, MidCon, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Bakken, Rockies and Northeast regions. When combined with our existing assets, our company-wide permitted daily disposal capacity will have increased to more than 2.0 million barrels per day, providing considerable development potential for continued expansion of gathering and recycling networks.

"Importantly, this sizable infrastructure footprint provides us with access to a significant amount of recurring, long-lived produced water volumes which can be recycled as an alternative sustainable water source in attractive areas for development. During 2021, we developed six new recycling facilities backed by long-term contracts, increasing our overall recycling capacity to more than 525,000 barrels per day. I am confident that these recently constructed assets combined with our recently acquired assets position us extremely well to continue to develop new recycling opportunities, balance water logistics across multiple customers and support our customers in reaching their sustainability goals in the years to come.

"Ultimately, I am excited about our recent financial performance, M&A execution, our recycling projects and our other sustainability-focused investments. I firmly believe the consolidation strategy we've undertaken is needed in the marketplace and we are well positioned to execute on additional opportunities ahead. With growing activity, strong commodity prices and improved operational and financial performance, the future remains bright," concluded Schmitz.

Business Segment Information

The Water Services segment generated revenues of $140.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $112.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $59.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin before D&A for Water Services was 15.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to 15.8% in the third quarter of 2021 and 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenues improved 25.1% sequentially, driven by roughly equal contributions from the existing business and the acquisitions that closed during the fourth quarter. Looking at the first quarter of 2022, the Company expects to see 5% – 10% revenue growth with modest improvements to gross margins before D&A, supported by continued pricing improvements, market activity and incremental contributions from the pending acquisition of Nuverra.

The Water Infrastructure segment generated revenues of $46.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $36.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin before D&A for Water Infrastructure was 25.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to 22.5% in the third quarter of 2021 and 30.7% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenues improved 27.4% sequentially while pulling through 37.9% incremental margins, driven primarily by a combination of contributions from the Agua Libre acquisition and the Northern Delaware pipelines and related logistics. For the first quarter of 2022, the Company anticipates the combination of the contributions from the recent acquisitions, including the pending Nuverra acquisition, and the recently completed recycling projects will result in 10% – 15% revenue growth, with gross margins before D&A in mid- to high-20 percent range.

The Oilfield Chemicals segment generated revenues of $67.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to $55.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $37.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin before D&A for Oilfield Chemicals was 12.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to 10.5% in the third quarter of 2021 and 12.7% in the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenues improved 22.0% sequentially, well exceeding expectations, driven by growth in the Permian and MidCon regions. Gross margins improved sequentially driven by a combination of the reactivation of the Tyler manufacturing facility and pricing improvements. Supported by the recent strong revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company anticipates relatively stable revenues in this segment during the first quarter of 2022 with modest improvements to gross margins before D&A.

Cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, net of asset sales, was ($6.4) million during the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, cash flow used in investing activities during the fourth quarter of 2021 included approximately $14.4 million for the Company's acquisition of Agua Libre and $1.5 million for the Company's acquisition of HB Rentals, partially offset by $1.0 million of inflows from other investment-related activities.

As consideration for the acquisition, Select issued 902,593 shares of Class A common stock and paid $14.5 million in cash to Basic to close the transaction, subject to standard post-closing adjustments, and assumed certain liabilities.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before depreciation and amortization (D&A) and gross margin before D&A are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/(minus) loss/(income) from discontinued operations, plus any impairment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries, non-recurring compensation expense, non-cash compensation expense, and non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains) and plus/(minus) losses/(gains) on unconsolidated entities less bargain purchase gains from business combinations. We define gross profit before D&A as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding cost of sales D&A expense. We define gross margin before D&A as gross profit before D&A divided by revenue. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A and gross margin before D&A are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information to external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and non-recurring items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A and gross margin before D&A because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.


Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross profit (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross profit before D&A. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or gross profit before D&A in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and gross profit before D&A may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.


The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:
