Third quarter revenue of $153.9 million, a 14.5% increase over the second quarter

On November 1st, completed its merger with Rockwater Energy Solutions, giving Select a market capitalization of approximately $1.7 billion

HOUSTON, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Select Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: WTTR) ("Select" or "the Company"), a leading provider of total water solutions to the U.S. unconventional oil and gas industry, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. As previously announced, Select completed its merger with Rockwater Energy Solutions, Inc. on November 1, 2017.  All reported financial results for Select for the third quarter of 2017 are on a standalone basis.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $153.9 million, a 14.5% increase compared to $134.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a 108% increase compared to $73.9 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Net income for the third quarter was $2.6 million as compared to a net loss of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a net loss of $35.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $27.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to net loss (a GAAP measure) in this release.

John Schmitz, Select's Executive Chairman, stated, "We are extremely pleased with our third quarter operational results which benefitted from continued momentum in completion-related activity, resulting in strong revenue growth and profitability.  Additionally, we are very excited to have completed our merger with Rockwater and look forward to what we can achieve as a combined company." 

Holli Ladhani, President and CEO, added, "We believe that our third quarter results, including our return to net income profitability for the first time since the downturn began in 2014, demonstrate the value of our water solutions platform as well as the strength of our employees.  The integration of these two leading companies is well underway and we couldn't be more excited about the opportunities ahead of us."

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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. For further discussion, please see "Summary—Summary Consolidated Financial Data" in our Final Prospectus.

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