National Energy Services Reunited Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results

National Energy Services Reunited Corp. ("NESR" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:NESR)(Nasdaq:NESRW), a national, industry-leading provider of integrated energy services in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") region, today reported its financial results as of and for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024. The Company posted the following results for the periods presented:

*The Company presents its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 below for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, and Statements of Cash Flows are derived from the financial statements that will be presented in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Stefan Angeli, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Despite changing market conditions and geopolitical challenges, NESR again delivered record results for the fourth quarter of 2024, today reporting revenue of $343.7 million, which was up 11.8% year-over-year and 2.2% sequentially. We also delivered record adjusted EBITDA for a three-month reporting period, posting $87.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 with margins of 25.4%, an improvement of 157 basis points from the third quarter of 2024. Revenue for the full year 2024 increased 13.6% versus 2023, resulting in the Company's best ever full year Adjusted EBITDA of $310.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA margins for 2024 were 23.8%, which was an improvement of 93 basis points year over year.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $46.3 million and for the full year 2024, $229.3 million. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $21.2 million and for the full year 2024 was $124.2 million, driven by record collections on accounts receivable, offset partially by payments to reduce accounts payable to customary operating levels, the net of which was principally used to pay down bank debt. As a result of the record operating financial results and strong cash flow conversion, Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA remained below our annual goal for a second consecutive quarter, ending the fourth quarter of 2024 at 0.89. Diluted EPS was $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2024 and our return on capital employed on a trailing twelve-month basis was 11.6%.

The relationships we have with our customers, the ability of our employees to deliver our services, and NESR's competitive position in the MENA region all contributed to a great 2024. I am thankful to our customers and our NESR team for another great year. While we expect the first half of 2025 to moderately subside on a sequential period basis due to geopolitics, seasonal spending patterns, and the timing of Ramadan, we remain confident in full year 2025 and believe NESR is very well positioned to serve our customers as they capitalize on new sources of demand in oil and gas in addition to renewed priorities such as security of energy supply."

Sherif Foda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report another stellar year of growth following a solid 2023. We've successfully expanded our geographic footprint with the establishment of additional anchor countries and maintained solid engagement with our clients as the national champion of the region. We are very excited about the recent contract awards in the drilling segment through which we can deploy our ROYA downhole drilling platform and gain share in a high-quality sector of the market that is new to us. We continue to be committed to our decarbonization segment, NEDA, and are on the path to a technological breakthrough in produced water with our largest customer. I am extremely proud of our entire team for successfully managing the business over the past couple of years, in close collaboration with our supportive customers, to achieve the remarkable growth and technology gains embedded in our strong results."

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Results

The Company had net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaling $26.8 million, an improvement of $24.6 million year-over-year. The change was largely attributable to increased activity in our principal areas and businesses of operations, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $28.1 million and included adjustments totaling $1.3 million ("Total Charges and Credits impacting Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS"), mainly related to costs associated with the restatement of our 2018-2020 financial statements, including the SEC inquiry and remediation, impairment charges from an equity method investment, partially offset by the one-time release of an uncertain tax position. A complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income."

The Company reported $0.28 of diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits impacting Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, for the fourth quarter of 2024, was $0.30.

Adjusted EBITDA Results

The Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $87.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, improving 9.8% year-over-year and 9.0% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments totaling $5.1 million ("Total Charges and Credits impacting Adjusted EBITDA"), which are the components of Total Charges and Credits impacting Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS not related to interest, taxes, and/or depreciation and amortization. As noted above, a complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1. The Company posted the following results for the periods presented.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents are $108.0 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $67.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $124.2 million, as compared to $108.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to improved operating results in 2024.

Total debt as of December 31, 2024, is $382.8 million with $128.5 million classified as short-term, as compared to $452.2 million and $120.6 million, respectively, on December 31, 2023. Net Debt (a non-GAAP measure), which is the sum of our recorded Current installments of long-term debt, Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents, totaled $274.9 million as of December 31, 2024, as compared to $384.4 million as of December 31, 2023. Net Debt has decreased as compared to the prior period primarily due to long-term debt repayments during 2024. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to Net Debt is provided in Table 4 below, entitled "Reconciliation to Net Debt."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands except per share amounts)

The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), net income and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ("Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Diluted EPS," respectively), as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income and diluted EPS, respectively, in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discusses the non-GAAP balance sheet measure of the sum of our recorded current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents ("Net Debt") in this release and provides a reconciliation to the GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt to Net Debt. The Company also discusses Free Cash Flow reconciled to Operating Cash Flow.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company's board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Similarly, Net Debt is used by management as a liquidity measure used to illustrate the Company's debt level absent variability in cash and cash equivalents, and the Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, or diluted EPS, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Net Debt also should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Finally, Free Cash Flow is used by management as a liquidity measure to illustrate the Company's ability to produce cash that is available to be distributed in a discretionary manner, after excluding investments in capital assets. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) operations or Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
