“2018 was another strong year for C&J Energy Services. We grew annual revenue to a company record $2.2 billion , generating Adjusted EBITDA of $283.7 million , approaching the highest in C&J's history. As we entered the year, many of our customers were in the process of accelerating both completion and well servicing activities, and we executed at the highest levels by delivering superior service quality and safety. Through solid execution we grew both revenue and profitability in all three of our reportable segments, which drove an increase in both consolidated annual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of 36% and 117% , respectively. Additionally, we generated $66.3 million of free cash flow, part of which we used to repurchase approximately 2.4 million shares of C&J common stock for $40.4 million in 2018. We also accomplished many of our strategic objectives by deploying both new and refurbished equipment in all of our core product lines, integrating O-Tex into our operations, disposing of non-core businesses, and deploying new technologies from our R&T division, while maintaining our strong balance sheet and liquidity position. Importantly, we did this while also achieving the best safety record by incident rates in our Company's history. I am proud of our employees’ efforts, our safe and high quality operational performance and the annual growth and profitability we were able to achieve despite the challenging market conditions that we had to navigate in the second half of the year,” commented C&J’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Don Gawick.

“Challenging headwinds continued from the third quarter across the fourth quarter, resulting from high levels of customer budget exhaustion, Permian takeaway constraints and more profound year-end seasonality, which caused both consolidated revenue and profitability to decline sequentially. In our fracturing business, we temporarily idled two horizontal fleets early in the fourth quarter to minimize the impact from soft market conditions and to lower overall costs, while looking to re-deploy those fleets with efficient operators. We successfully placed both fleets with dedicated customers that commenced favorable 2019 completion programs late in the fourth quarter. Our wireline and pumping businesses were negatively affected by the prevailing market conditions and the general slowing of completion activity going into year-end. Demand for large diameter coiled tubing remained strong and the number of drilling rigs we serviced in our cementing business remained steady; however, our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment results declined sequentially mostly due to year-end seasonality. Our Well Support Services segment performed well in the quarter with revenue and profitability increasing sequentially despite higher than expected levels of year-end seasonality.

“We have continued to focus on cutting costs, reducing capital expenditures and proactively managing working capital, which generated $78.2 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter. We used just over $20.0 million of this to return value to shareholders through the repurchase of C&J common stock. Looking to 2019, based on current customer feedback and improving commodity prices, we currently believe that our businesses should gradually improve from the fourth quarter lows. Irrespective of market conditions, we are committed to creating long-term shareholder value by generating targeted returns, maintaining a disciplined capital deployment strategy and generating free cash flow,” Mr. Gawick concluded.

For the fourth quarter of 2018 , revenue totaled $490.6 million and was essentially flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 , but decreased 13.6% compared to the third quarter of 2018 . We reported a fourth quarter 2018 net loss of $189.5 million , or $(2.87) per diluted share, which included a $146.0 million impairment of goodwill and a $21.4 million loss on the retirement of certain assets to be discussed in the Other Financial Information section below. This compared to net income of $57.0 million , or $0.88 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017 , and net income of $10.4 million , or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 .

We reported an Adjusted Net Loss (1) of $18.2 million , or $(0.27) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018 , compared to Adjusted Net Income of $19.7 million , or $0.31 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017 , and Adjusted Net Income of $10.6 million , or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 . During the fourth quarter of 2018, Adjusted EBITDA (1) totaled $49.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $57.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 , and Adjusted EBITDA of $72.8 million in the third quarter of 2018 . Please refer to footnote (1) for further information on these non-GAAP financial measures.


Other Financial Information

Our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $49.8 million , compared to $68.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 , and flat sequentially. Our SG&A expense declined year-over-year mostly due to reductions in compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and general corporate overhead.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $63.4 million , compared to $39.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 , and $60.7 million in the third quarter of 2018 . The sequential increase was driven by capital expenditures associated with new and refurbished equipment placed into service during the third and fourth quarters of 2018 .

With the softness in the equity markets in December and the consequential negative impact on our market capitalization, the results of our annual goodwill impairment assessment prompted us to record a non-cash impairment charge of $146.0 million associated with our Well Construction and Intervention Services reporting unit. Additionally, in line with our returns focused strategy and disciplined approach to capital deployment, we retired certain fracturing, coiled tubing and well servicing assets that were deemed to be obsolete with unfavorable economics for refurbishment based on prevailing customer preferences and current market conditions.  The impact on our fourth quarter 2018 results from the retirement of those assets was a $21.4 million loss on disposition.


Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

As of December 31, 2018 , we had a cash balance of $135.7 million and no borrowings drawn on our credit facility. We exited the fourth quarter with borrowing capacity of $234.7 million , resulting in $370.4 million of total liquidity as of December 31, 2018 . During the fourth quarter, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of C&J common stock at an average price of $13.85 per share for approximately $20.0 million . With these stock repurchases, we executed $40.4 million of the Company's $150.0 million stock repurchase program previously announced on August 2, 2018.

Capital expenditures totaled $66.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 , compared to $58.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and $88.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 . The sequential decrease in capital expenditures was the result of lower growth capital spending.


Business Segment Results

Completion Services

In our Completion Services segment, we generated fourth quarter 2018 revenue of $293.3 million , a decrease of 14.6% compared to revenue of $343.2 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2017 , and a decrease of 21.4% compared to third quarter 2018 revenue of $373.3 million . For the fourth quarter of 2018 , we reported net loss of $17.0 million , which included a $16.3 million loss on the disposition of certain assets and a $6.1 million inventory reserve largely associated with a previously divested business. Adjusted EBITDA (2) for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $44.0 million . This is compared to net income of $50.8 million resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $72.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 , and net income of $30.9 million resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $66.1 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Revenue and profitability decreased year-over-year and sequentially in our Completion Services segment due to customer budget exhaustion and lower utilization levels. Due to soft market conditions, we temporarily idled two horizontal fleets early in the fourth quarter. We focused on reallocating fleets on a dedicated basis to large, efficient customers and these two fleets were successfully re-deployed to dedicated customers in early December, and we exited the fourth quarter at our third quarter exit rate of 695,000 HHP deployed. In our wireline and pumping businesses, lower customer activity levels from budget exhaustion, year-end seasonality and weather-driven delays resulted in both revenue and profitability decreasing year-over-year and sequentially.

Well Construction and Intervention Services

In our Well Construction and Intervention Services (“WC&I”) segment, we generated fourth quarter 2018 revenue of $93.5 million , an increase of 66.1% compared to revenue of $56.3 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2017 . The increase in revenue was primarily due to the expansion of our cementing business with the acquisition of O-Tex Holdings, Inc. (“O-Tex”) at the end of November 2017. Fourth quarter 2018 revenue decreased 2.3% compared to revenue of $95.7 million generated in the third quarter of 2018. For the fourth quarter of 2018 , we reported a net loss of $141.7 million that included a $146.0 million impairment of goodwill and a $2.3 million loss on the retirement of certain assets. Adjusted EBITDA (2) for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $15.7 million . This compared to net income of $29.8 million , which included a $29.0 million tax benefit, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $9.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 , and net income of $7.1 million resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 .

The deployment of additional assets and the acquisition of O-Tex caused both revenue and profitability in our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment to increase year-over-year; however, fourth quarter revenue and profitability decreased sequentially mostly due to customer budget exhaustion and year-end seasonality. These conditions particularly impacted our cementing business, and we experienced unexpected customer shutdowns. All of our large diameter coiled tubing units were deployed throughout the quarter, but overall activity levels decreased due to higher levels of year-end seasonality and an unfavorable job mix as completion-driven activity levels slowed at year-end.

Well Support Services

In our Well Support Services segment, we generated fourth quarter 2018 revenue of $103.9 million , an increase of 12.6% compared to revenue of $92.3 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2017 . Fourth quarter 2018 revenue increased 4.9% compared to revenue of $99.0 million generated in the third quarter of 2018. For the fourth quarter of 2018 , we reported a net loss of $4.0 million that included a $2.8 million loss on the retirement of certain assets. Adjusted EBITDA (2) for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $12.9 million . This compared to net income of $2.7 million , which included a $19.7 million gain on the sale of our Canadian rig services business, with Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 . For the third quarter of 2018 we reported a net loss of $5.8 million that resulted in Adjusted EBITDA of $10.8 million .

Segment revenue and profitability increased both year-over-year and sequentially due to the deployment of additional assets in the U.S. and higher overall pricing for our services. The prior year period contained partial results from our Canadian rig services business that we divested in early November 2017, which diluted the 2018 year-over-year operating results improvement. In our rig services business, we deployed additional workover rigs into our core operating basins of California and West Texas, and we exited the fourth quarter with our highest deployed workover rig count of 2018. These improved results were partially offset by higher levels of year-end seasonality and select unexpected customer shutdowns in several of our core operating basins, especially in the Bakken and the Rocky Mountain regions. Special services revenue and profitability remained strong primarily due to increased fishing and rental activity in select basins. Our fluids management business benefited from the full implementation of several contract wins in the third quarter of 2018 for California operations, which was partially offset by lower activity levels in South Texas due to unexpected downtime at certain saltwater disposal wells.


Forward Outlook

Focusing on the first quarter of 2019, our current outlook is mixed. We expect some utilization improvement in our fracturing business primarily due to the refreshed capital expenditure budgets of our customers and having more fleets dedicated to large, efficient customers. We have experienced a slow start to the year in our wireline and pumping businesses and the recent reduction in the drilling rig count combined with a more competitive services environment has resulted in some softness in customer demand for our cementing services. In response to these challenges, we remain focused on further reducing our cost structure, efficiently deploying our asset base to meet evolving customer demand and reducing capital spending to be more in line with our maintenance capital needs. We expect additional improvement in our Well Support Services segment due to increased market share, the full quarter's impact of new contract activity gained in the prior quarter, and customer appetite to deploy capital to increase production through well repair and maintenance activities.

With regards to the full year 2019, we expect market conditions to progressively improve, which should result in gradual improvement in our Completion Services segment throughout the year. The steady ramp in completion activity should result in utilization improvement in our fracturing business and improved demand for our wireline and pumping services. We expect our Well Support Services segment to steadily improve as customers value our record of providing superior service quality and safety, and as customers continue to allocate more capital to workover and maintenance activities. In our Well Construction and Intervention Services segment, we expect the fluctuations in the drilling rig count to affect our cementing business, but our coiled tubing business should remain steady as demand for large diameter coil remains strong.

Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the following: a decline in demand for our services, including due to supply of oil and gas, declining or perceived instability of commodity prices, overcapacity of supply, constrained pipeline capacity and other competitive factors affecting our industry; the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas industry, which impacts the level of drilling, completion and production activity and spending patterns by our customers; a decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and gas commodity prices, which generally leads to decreased spending by our customers and negatively impacts drilling, completion and production activity; pressure on pricing for our services, including due to competition and industry and/or economic conditions, which impacts, among other things, our ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing and margin on our services; the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more customers; the failure by one or more of our customers to pay amounts when due, or at all; changes in customer requirements in the markets or industries we serve; costs, delays, compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our short-and long-term business plans and growth strategies; the effects of recent or future acquisitions on our business, including our ability to successfully integrate our operations and the costs incurred in doing so and the costs and potential liabilities associated with new or expanded areas of operational risks (such as offshore or international operations); business growth outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure; the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more of our key suppliers, including resulting from product defects, recalls or suspensions; adverse weather conditions in oil and gas producing regions; operating hazards inherent in our industry, including the possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage; the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on our operations, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our hydraulic fracturing services; the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities resulting from litigation or governmental proceedings; the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities or severe restrictions on our operations or the inability to perform certain operations or provide certain services resulting from a failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing regulations; the effect of new or existing regulations, industry and/or commercial conditions on the availability of and costs for raw materials, consumables and equipment; our ability to implement new technologies and services; the loss of, or inability to attract, key management and other competent personnel; a shortage of qualified workers; damage to or malfunction of equipment; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and/or obtain adequate financing to allow us to execute our business plan; and our ability to comply with covenants under our new credit facility.

C&J cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our present expectations and projected results, please see our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to time, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus the after-tax amount of acquisition-related costs and other non-routine items. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per diluted share is calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), gain or loss on disposal of assets, acquisition-related costs and other non-routine items. Free cash flow is defined as the net increase (decrease)

of


in cash and cash equivalents before financing activities, including share repurchase activity. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results. Management believes free cash flow is important to investors in that it provides a useful measure to assess management's effectiveness in the areas of profitability and capital management. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and for a reconciliation of net increases (decreases) in cash and cash equivalents to free cash flow, please see the tables at the end of this press release.
(2)
Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level is not considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure as it is our segment measure of profit or loss and is required to be disclosed under GAAP pursuant to ASC 280. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA from net income at a segment level are being provided as supplemental financial information.

Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, which are not generally historical in nature, include those that express a belief, expectation or intention regarding our future activities, plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things: our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; our operating cash flows, the availability of capital and our liquidity; our future revenue, income and operating performance; our ability to sustain and improve our utilization, revenue and margins; our ability to maintain acceptable pricing for our services; future capital expenditures; our ability to finance equipment, working capital and capital expenditures; our ability to execute our long-term growth strategy; our ability to successfully develop our research and technology capabilities and implement technological developments and enhancements; and the timing and success of strategic initiatives and special projects. Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, forecasts for our existing operations, experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and their effect on us, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although management believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all). Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the following: a decline in demand for our services, including due to supply of oil and gas, declining or perceived instability of commodity prices, overcapacity of supply, constrained pipeline capacity and other competitive factors affecting our industry; the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas industry, which impacts the level of drilling, completion and production activity and spending patterns by our customers; a decline in, or substantial volatility of, crude oil and gas commodity prices, which generally leads to decreased spending by our customers and negatively impacts drilling, completion and production activity; pressure on pricing for our services, including due to competition and industry and/or economic conditions, which impacts, among other things, our ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing and margin on our services; the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more customers; the failure by one or more of our customers to pay amounts when due, or at all; changes in customer requirements in the markets or industries we serve; costs, delays, compliance requirements and other difficulties in executing our short-and long-term business plans and growth strategies; the effects of recent or future acquisitions on our business, including our ability to successfully integrate our operations and the costs incurred in doing so and the costs and potential liabilities associated with new or expanded areas of operational risks (such as offshore or international operations); business growth outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure; the loss of, or interruption or delay in operations by, one or more of our key suppliers, including resulting from product defects, recalls or suspensions; adverse weather conditions in oil and gas producing regions; operating hazards inherent in our industry, including the possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage; the effect of environmental and other governmental regulations on our operations, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our hydraulic fracturing services; the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities resulting from litigation or governmental proceedings; the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities or severe restrictions on our operations or the inability to perform certain operations or provide certain services resulting from a failure to comply, or our compliance with, new or existing regulations; the effect of new or existing regulations, industry and/or commercial conditions on the availability of and costs for raw materials, consumables and equipment; our ability to implement new technologies and services; the loss of, or inability to attract, key management and other competent personnel; a shortage of qualified workers; damage to or malfunction of equipment; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and/or obtain adequate financing to allow us to execute our business plan; and our ability to comply with covenants under our new credit facility. For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please see our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these known material risks occur, or should the underlying assumptions change or prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements concerning us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation includes consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow, all of which are measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). Please see slides 17 – 19 for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each of Adjusted Net Income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA and for a reconciliation of net increases (decreases) in cash and cash equivalents to free cash flow. Segment Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level is not considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure as it is our segment measure of profit or loss and is required to be disclosed pursuant to ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Certain Definitions: We calculate “margin %” as the specified metric divided by revenue. 2

Investors should be aware, however, that there are limitations inherent in using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of overall profitability because it excludes significant expense items. An improving trend in Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of an improvement in the Company’s profitability. To compensate for the limitations in utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as an operating measure, management also uses U.S. GAAP measures of performance, including operating income (loss) and net income (loss), to evaluate performance. As required under Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, the table above provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, from net income (loss), which is the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for their interim periods. We generally define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), gain or loss on the disposal of assets and other items that our management considers to be extraordinary, such as impairment expenses, acquisition-related costs, costs and charges associated with severance, facility closures, write-offs of bad debts and similar charges. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for their interim periods, we have added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA several categories of expenses and charges incurred in connection with our Chapter 11 proceedings which are detailed in the table above. 17
