Financial overview for the three months

Revenue

Revenue for the fourth quarter decreased 37.3 per cent to $29.4-million from $46.9-million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

During the quarter, the company earned revenues from five customers with the top-three customers representing 96.7 per cent of the total revenue. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the top-three customers represented 70.8 per cent of the total revenue.

Canadian operations

Fourth quarter revenue from the Canadian operations decreased 32.3 per cent to $22.8-million from $33.7-million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The reduction reflects fewer smaller oil companies utilizing the company's services due to capital constraints. The Canadian operations performed 34 revenue days in the fourth quarter of 2013 with an average daily revenue of $672 compared with 79 revenue days in the fourth quarter of 2012 with an average daily revenue of $425. The increase in average daily revenue is due to the increase in the price and cost of liquefied petroleum gas.

During the quarter, revenue was generated from three customers. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the top-three customers represented 86.6 per cent of the total revenue.

U.S. operations

Fourth quarter revenue from the U.S. operations decreased 50.8 per cent to $6.5-million from $13.2-million in the fourth quarter of 2012. U.S. operations produced 10 revenue days in the fourth quarter of 2013 with an average daily revenue of $654 compared with 27 revenue days in the fourth quarter of 2012, with an average daily revenue of $490. The increase in average daily revenue is mainly due to an increase in treatment size.

During the quarter, revenue was generated from two customers. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the top-three customers represented 96.4 per cent of the total revenue.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist of cost of sales (variable costs directly attributable to a fracturing treatment), variable operating expenses (variable costs not directly attributable to a fracturing treatment) and fixed operating costs (costs that do not fluctuate with the company's level of activity). During the quarter, the company's operating expenses decreased 32.6 per cent to $23.8-million (81.1 per cent of revenue) from $35.3-million (75.3 per cent of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2012.

As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales increased to 53.4 per cent of revenue ($15.7-million) from 51.9 per cent ($24.4-million) of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012.

As a percentage of revenue, variable operating expenses decreased slightly to 9.2 per cent of revenue ($2.7-million) from 9.7 per cent of revenue ($4.6-million) of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Fixed operating costs decreased 15.6 per cent to $5.4-million in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared with $6.4-million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Canadian operations

Total operating expenses for the quarter were $18.7-million (cost of sales: $13.4-million, variable operating costs: $1.8-million and fixed operating costs: $3.5-million) as compared with $24.3-million (cost of sales: $17.3-million, variable operating costs: $3.3-million and fixed operating costs: $3.7-million) in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Cost of sales was 58.9 per cent of revenue for the quarter as compared with 51.3 per cent of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was largely attributable to higher LPG margins during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Variable operating expenses decreased to 7.7 per cent of revenue ($1.8-million) from 9.9 per cent of revenue ($3.3-million) in the fourth quarter of 2012. This was primarily due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance expenses incurred in fourth quarter 2013. Fixed operating costs decreased to $3.5-million from $3.7-million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

U.S. operations

Total operating expenses for the quarter were $5.1-million (cost of sales: $2.2-million, variable operating costs: $1.0-million and fixed operating costs: $1.9-million) as compared with $11.0-million (cost of sales: $7.1-million, variable operating costs: $1.2-million and fixed operating costs: $2.7-million) in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Cost of sales for the quarter decreased to 34.2 per cent of revenue from 53.6 per cent of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in the cost of sales reflects the direct purchase of fracturing fluid by the customer. This process has the impact of reducing the company's revenue and cost of sales by like amounts and effectively decreasing cost of sales as expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Variable operating expenses increased to 14.7 per cent of revenue ($1.0-million) from 9.2 per cent of revenue ($1.2-million) in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fixed operating costs decreased to $1.9-million from $2.7-million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Sales, general and administrative expenses

For the fourth quarter, SG&A expenses decreased 12.7 per cent to $4.8-million from $5.5-million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease is primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits associated with the reductions of the executive and administrative staffing levels that occurred in 2012.

Impairment

The company has determined that it has two cash-generating units. One CGU is its Canadian operations, and the second CGU is its U.S. operations. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the company determined that the recoverable value of its assets exceeded the carrying value of its assets, and therefore no impairment was required. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the company determined that the carrying values exceeded the recoverable values in both CGUs. A $20.0-million impairment loss was recorded related to the Canadian CGU, and $24.8-million impairment loss was recorded related to the U.S. CGU.

Net gain (loss) on the disposition of assets

During the fourth quarter of 2013, a $500,000 gain was recorded on the sale of property and equipment compared with a small loss in fourth quarter 2012. The majority of the gain related to the sale of chemical and data vans.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization

For the fourth quarter, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization decreased to $1.1-million from $7.7-million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was the result of revenue decreasing $17.5-million from $46.9-million in fourth quarter 2012 to $29.4-million in fourth quarter 2013.

Net loss

For the fourth quarter of 2013, the net loss was $6.7-million compared with a net loss of $48.5-million during the fourth quarter of 2012. The net loss in 2012 is primarily due to the impairment of the assets in the Canadian and U.S. cash-generating units, as well as an increase in depreciation due to the deployment of additional frack equipment.

Financial overview for the 12 months

Revenue

Revenue decreased 18.5 per cent to $121.8-million from $149.4-million in 2012. Revenue per operating day increased to $518 from $466 in 2012.

The company earned revenues from 14 customers with the top-three customers accounting for 87.3 per cent of the company's revenue. During 2012, the top-three customers accounted for 67.4 per cent of the company's revenue.

Canadian operations

Canadian operations generated $92.9-million of revenue from 177 revenue days with an average daily revenue of $525. In 2012, Canadian operations generated $107.8-million of revenue from 227 revenue days at an average daily revenue of $475. The increase in average daily revenue is due to more volume pumped per day with operational efficiencies.

Revenue was earned from eight customers during the year, with three of these customers representing 93.2 per cent of the total revenue. During 2012, the top-three customers from the Canadian operations accounted for 79.0 per cent of the company's Canadian revenue.

U.S. operations

U.S. operations generated $28.9-million of revenue from 58 revenue days at an average revenue per operating day of $499. In 2012, the U.S. operations generated $41.6-million of revenue from 94 revenue days at an average daily revenue of $443.

Revenue was earned from six customers during the year with three of these customers representing 97.2 per cent of the total revenue earned from U.S. operations. During 2012, the top-three customers from the U.S. operations accounted for 69.0 per cent of the company's U.S. revenue.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist of cost of sales (variable costs directly attributable to a fracturing treatment), variable operating expenses (variable costs not directly attributable to a fracturing treatment) and fixed operating costs (costs that do not fluctuate with the company's level of activity). During the year, the company's operating expenses decreased 24.4 per cent to $96.6-million (79.3 per cent of revenue) from $127.7-million (85.4 per cent of revenue) in 2012.

As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales decreased to 50.5 per cent of revenue ($61.6-million) from 53.2 per cent ($79.6-million) of revenue in 2012.

As a percentage of revenue, variable operating expenses decreased to 10.5 per cent of revenue ($12.8-million) from 13.4 per cent of revenue ($20.0-million) in 2012.

Fixed operating costs decreased 20.7 per cent to $22.2-million as compared with $28.0-million in 2012.

Canadian operations

Total operating expenses for the year were $74.1-million (cost of sales: $51.3-million, variable operating costs: $8.5-million and fixed operating costs: $14.3-million) as compared with $85.6-million (cost of sales: $54.3-million, variable operating costs: $13.9-million and fixed operating costs: $17.4-million) in 2012.

Cost of sales was 55.2 per cent of revenue for the year as compared with 50.3 per cent of revenue in 2012.

Variable operating expenses decreased to 9.2 per cent of revenue ($8.5-million) from 12.9 per cent of revenue ($13.9-million) in 2012. Fixed operating costs decreased to $14.3-million from $17.4-million in 2012. The decrease in the variable operating costs and fixed operating costs reflects the results of the initiative that the company undertook in September, 2012, to bring the company's cost structure into alignment with the current revenue. This review resulted in a reduction of 25 per cent in U.S. field and support staff and a 20-per-cent reduction in Canadian field and support staff. Additional changes were made to reduce charges associated with facilities, staff housing, insurance and other fixed costs.

U.S. operations

Total operating expenses for the year were $22.5-million (cost of sales: $10.3-million, variable operating costs: $4.3-million and fixed operating costs: $8.0-million) as compared with $41.6-million (cost of sales: $25.3-million, variable operating costs: $6.1-million and fixed operating costs: $10.6-million) in 2012.

Cost of sales decreased to 35.5 per cent of revenue from 60.7 per cent of revenue in 2012. The decrease in the cost of sales reflects the direct purchase of fracturing fluid by the customer. This process has the impact of reducing the company's revenue and cost of sales by like amounts and effectively decreasing cost of sales as expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Variable operating expenses remained constant at 14.7 per cent of revenue ($4.3-million) versus 14.8 per cent of revenue ($6.1-million) in 2012. Fixed operating costs decreased to $8.0-million from $10.6-million in 2012 as a result of head count reductions.

Sales, general and administrative expenses

SG&A expenses were $18.5-million compared with $22.5-million in 2012. The decrease over 2012 is primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits associated with the reductions of the executive and administrative staffing levels that occurred in the third quarter of 2012 with subsequent severance costs of approximately $900,000 accrued upon termination of executive and overhead staff in September, 2012.

Impairment

The company has determined that it has two cash-generating units. One CGU is its Canadian operations, and the second CGU is its U.S. operations. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the company determined that the recoverable value of its assets exceeded the carrying value of its assets, and therefore no impairment was required. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the company determined that the carrying values exceeded the recoverable values in both CGUs. A $20.0-million impairment loss was recorded related to the Canadian CGU, and a $24.8-million impairment loss was recorded related to the U.S. CGU.

Net gain (loss) on the disposition of assets

During 2013, a $2.2-million gain was recorded on the sale of fixed assets compared with a small loss in 2012. The gain related to the sale of excess pressure-pumping equipment and chemical and data vans.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $7.8-million compared with $600,000 in 2012. The increase is due to a decrease in sales, general and administrative, and fixed operating costs.

Net loss

The 2013 net loss was $24.4-million as compared with a $77.5-million net loss during 2012. The $53.1-million decrease in the net loss is due to a number of factors. Late in the third quarter of 2012, an operational review was undertaken that resulted in a reduction of 25 per cent in U.S. field and support staff and a 20-per-cent reduction in Canadian field and support staff. Additional changes were made to reduce charges associated with facilities, staff housing, insurance and other fixed costs. The result of these changes was improved profitability in fourth quarter 2012 and throughout 2013. The 2012 net loss included an impairment loss of $47.4-million. Depreciation and amortization in 2013 also decreased by $1.3-million primarily due to the reduction in the carrying value of the property and equipment.

The company's 2013 effective tax rate was nil (2012: 2.23 per cent) compared with the statutory rate of 25.0 per cent (2012: 25.0 per cent). The difference in effective tax rate as compared with the statutory tax rate results from tax losses not being recognized for accounting purposes at this time.

Financial overview - summary of quarterly results

The company's North American business is seasonal. The lowest activity is typically experienced during the second quarter of the year when road weight restrictions are in place due to spring breakup weather conditions and access to well sites in Canada is reduced. Also, in certain areas of the United States, in which the company operates, access to work locations is limited or entirely banned during hunting season, which typically occurs from December to February.

Liquidity and capital resources

Working capital

As at Dec. 31, 2013, the company had $7.1-million of working capital compared with $4.1-million as at Sept. 30, 2013, and $25.7-million as at Dec. 31, 2012. The sequential increase in working capital is due to cash generated from operating activities and improved accounts receivable collections offset somewhat by an increase in the inventory held at year-end.

The significant decrease in working capital from Dec. 31, 2012, is primarily due to the reclassification of the company's credit facility from non-current to current.

Debt

During third quarter of 2012, the company exceeded the debt ceiling in its credit agreement, and the banking syndicate agreed to a suspension of the EBITDA-related covenants, effective Nov. 6, 2012. This suspension was in place until June 30, 2013. In the interim, the facility was capped at $60-million with an interim covenant that the company would generate $6-million for each of the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2012, and March 31, 2013.

On May 17, 2013, the credit facility was amended and restated, with the major amendments being that the credit facility was resized to $50-million and the maturity date extended to April 30, 2014. The credit facility has since been extended and now matures on June 30, 2014.

The credit facility consists of a $10-million revolving operating facility and a $40-million revolving facility. The facilities bear interest at prime plus 0.75 per cent to prime plus 4.25 per cent. Both facilities are secured by a floating charge over all of the assets (excluding leased assets). The amended and restated credit facility is subject to financial and non-financial covenants typical of this type of facility.

The amended and restated credit facility is subject to financial covenants as follows:

• Financed debt (excludes convertible debentures) at balance sheet date to 12-month trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
• The 12-month trailing bank EBITDA to 12 month trailing interest expense exceeds 3.00 to 1.00.
• Financed debt to capitalization (the aggregate of financed debt plus equity) does not exceed 0.50 to 1.00.

As at Dec. 31, 2013, the company is in compliance with all covenants.

The facility, if not renewed, is due on maturity. Pursuant to IAS 1, the company has presented the entire credit facility as current in the company's consolidated financial statements as at the reporting date.

While the company anticipates that the credit facility will be renewed, in the event it is not, financing options would include a renegotiated bank credit line, equipment-based financing supported by the company's asset base or term debt.

Consolidated cash flow summary

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.1-million as compared with cash provided by operating activities of $19.0-million in 2012.

The net change in non-cash working capital from operating activities at Dec. 31, 2013, was ($2.1)-million versus $22.0-million at Dec. 31, 2012. Of the $22.0-million change at Dec. 31, 2012, $18.7-million related to a reduction in receivables and $2.2-million related to a reduction in inventory levels. The ($2.1)-million change at Dec. 31, 2013, was primarily the result of an increase in inventory ($6.1)-million and a reduction in accounts receivable $4.4-million.

The company's ability to generate more earnings at reduced revenue levels from reductions in costs year over year has resulted in higher cash flows from operating activities before considering changes in working capital.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $11.5-million compared with $46.3-million of cash generated in 2012.

The financing activities during 2013 consisted of draws on the credit facility that were used primarily to finance the changes in accounts receivable balances. Other financing activities included finance lease payments and funds paid to buy out expired finance leases. The financing leases are primarily for light-duty vehicles. A small amount of cash was received from the exercise of stock options.

During 2012, Gasfrac closed its public offering of 7-per-cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures for net proceeds of $37,888. The proceeds from the debentures were used to finance the revenue-generating property and equipment build undertaken in 2011 and 2012.

Investing activities

Net cash generated from investing activities was $6.2-million compared with $62.3-million of cash used in 2012.

During the year, the cash generated was primarily due to the sale of excess pressure-pumping equipment for proceeds of $10.8-million. Property and equipment purchases of $3.0-million were related to maintenance capital, leasehold improvements and additional assets under finance lease.

The company invested $49.1-million and additional working capital for 2012 in property and equipment and intangible assets to add revenue-generating capacity.

Contractual obligations

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions.

Related-party transactions

Details of transactions between the company and other related parties are disclosed herein.

No expense has been recognized in the current or prior years for bad or doubtful debts in respect of the amounts owed by related parties.

Compensation of key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the company, directly or indirectly, including directors and executive officers of the company.

Outlook

The North American pressure-pumping market has undergone a transition from natural-gas-based activity to activity driven by oil and liquids-rich basins over the last several years. With equipment capacity being added ahead of demand, the result was reduced pricing and margins in the North American pressure-pumping industry over the last three years. Early indications are that activity levels will increase marginally in 2014 in both Canada and the United States. While this should result in improved equipment utilization and price stability, the company does not anticipate any material price improvements to follow until into 2015. In Canada, assuming commodity prices remain firm, it is expected that additional activity in the Duvernay and Montney will drive demand for additional horsepower in Canada for 2014. In the U.S., the overall pressure-pumping market has an oversupply of equipment, which the company does not expect to reverse until later in 2014. However, on a region by region basis, particularly in oil-rich areas such as south Texas, activity remains strong. The current scarcity of equity capital for exploration and production companies and their more conservative use of debt cause the level of future capital expenditures to be highly leveraged to commodity prices. As such, anticipated 2014 E&P capital expenditures are highly dependent on commodity price assumptions.

While the fundamentals of the overall pressure-pumping market are an important factor in the company's operations, the most significant factor remains the pace of adoption of the company's technology by E&P companies. The industry as a whole has experienced significant change over the last decade with the emergence of multistage horizontal fracturing in resource formations. Although there have been positive production results, in some ways, the technology of fracturing in resource plays is just beginning. There are some indications that, as past results and economics are examined, the industry is beginning to examine methods to optimize fracturing operations and move away from simply using brute force along the horizontal section. The company believes that the Gasfrac technology and resultant production benefits in targeted formations provide the company's customers an advantage and that the major challenge for the company is increasing the company's market share through succinct demonstration of this benefit. The key barriers the company has encountered impacting the pace of adoption are: demonstration of the cost/benefit, safety considerations, and awareness and inertia. Operators tend to be cautious in their adoption of new technologies, particularly given the significance of fracturing costs as a percentage of total drilling and completions costs. The current E&P market is very focused on cost-efficiencies as it develops large resource plays. Free cash flow generation remains under pressure for a large segment of the sector with overall ROCE down during 2013. As such, the higher upfront cost of Gasfrac's service can be a key criteria in purchasing decisions. Thus, the keys on the cost/benefit side are both: (a) the collection of basin-by-basin production data to provide more case studies to potential customers showing the positive impact on production and net present values and (b) continued reduction in the upfront costs of the company's service through enhancements such as engineered fluids.

The company expects that the service delivery initiatives the company undertook over the last few quarters, particularly engineered fluids that allow significant recovery of frack load fluids, will reduce the net cost of the company's service to the company's customers. This change in the company's value proposition creates an opportunity to attract customers to trial the company's technology and observe the specific impact on their wells and production. Due to the significant investment by operators in fracturing services, the sales and trial process is relatively long. The company would anticipate a time from six to nine months from initial trial to ultimate adoption of the company's services. While safety will always remain a key focus for the company, the equipment and procedures put in place during 2011 have largely removed this as a barrier for most customers although education and safety audits will remain part of the sales cycle. The company has observed an increased awareness and expressed interest in Gasfrac services in the basins it is targeting. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the company had two trials with customers which are still evaluating the results. Early in first quarter 2014, the company had had trials with three new customers. While these have not resulted in converted customers at this time, the success in achieving these trials is a positive sign.

During this period of adoption, the company's operations in both Canada and the United States remain concentrated with a few key customers, and the company's revenues are subject to fluctuation dependent on the level of drilling operations by these customers in the areas in which the company is servicing them. Their levels of drilling activity can be impacted by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, operational difficulties, project scheduling, infrastructure limitations, weather conditions, hunting restrictions and budgetary priorities. During the first quarter of 2014, the company has experienced such fluctuations with both Husky and BlackBrush utilizing pad drilling and having such projects delayed from first quarter into second quarter. As a result, the company anticipates revenue for first quarter will be well below fourth quarter results, while second quarter revenue should exceed fourth quarter results.

While these fluctuations add uncertainty to the timing of the company's cash flows, the company's current cost structure allows the company to remain cash positive at approximately $10-million of revenue per month. Further, the company's capital commitments and requirements for 2014 are minimal. As such, the company's draw on the company's bank credit facility is expected to remain at a level driven by the amount of the company's accounts receivable. However, these fluctuations in revenue, such as being experienced in the first quarter of 2014, can result in financial covenant breaches which would require waiver or forbearance. The company does, however, have significant asset backing (receivables and capital equipment) providing support for its credit facility. At year-end, working capital (excluding credit facility) of $25.6-million fully supported the credit facility of $18.6-million. In addition, the company had $193.6-million of capital assets at year-end.
