Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SOI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and provider of patented mobile proppant management systems for oil and natural gas well sites, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2017, as further described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) today.

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Review

Solaris reported net income of $1.1 million for second quarter 2017, compared to a net loss of $(0.8) million in second quarter 2016 and net income of $4.8 million in first quarter 2017. Second quarter 2017 net income included certain non-recurring expenses, including $3.5 million of IPO-related compensation expense, $0.4 million related to a loss on disposal of assets and $0.3 million of expense related to organizational costs in connections with the Company’s initial public offering and the development of the Company’s transloading facility in Kingfisher, Oklahoma.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $7.5 million, an increase of $7.3 million from second quarter 2016 and an increase of $1.4 million compared to first quarter 2017. A description of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.

Revenues were $13.4 million for the quarter, an increase of $10.4 million, or 350%, compared to second quarter 2016, and an increase of $3.1 million, or 30%, compared to first quarter 2017.

During second quarter 2017, the Company generated 3,375 revenue days, the combined number of days that its systems earned revenue during the quarter, a 240% increase from second quarter 2016, and up 28% compared to first quarter 2017. Customer demand and adoption rates for Solaris’ systems continue to grow as proppant consumption levels increase across the industry and customers realize the benefits of Solaris’ technology.

Solaris completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock on May 17, 2017, thus the financial results for a portion of the second quarter of 2017 reflect a period during which the Company was privately-owned.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity

Driven by strong customer demand and continued customer adoption of our proppant management systems and services, the Company invested $13.9 million in capital equipment during second quarter 2017 and added nine systems to the fleet, ending the quarter with 44 systems. These investments help address rising customer demand and are expected to drive future earnings and cash flow growth for Solaris.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $70.1 million in cash and $20.0 million of availability under the undrawn credit facility for total liquidity of $90.1 million.

Kingfisher Facility

On August 2, 2017 Solaris announced a seven (7) year contract with a leading STACK E&P operator to provide proppant transloading service in connection with the Company’s strategic expansion to develop a new high-capacity transload facility in Kingfisher, Oklahoma (the “Kingfisher Facility”).

The Kingfisher Facility will be located central to the STACK/SCOOP plays and will be the first independent, unit-train capable, high speed transload facility in Oklahoma. The Kingfisher Facility will initially provide proppant transloading services, but will also have capacity to provide transloading services for other drilling and completion related consumables. The Kingfisher Facility will help operators and service companies reduce logistics costs by virtue of its high-volume capacity and proximity to well sites.

The Kingfisher Facility will be located on a 300-acre parcel of land, directly on the Union Pacific Railroad. Solaris has secured a 30-year land lease with the State of Oklahoma and has started ordering long-lead construction items in anticipation of breaking ground in August 2017. The facility is designed to service multiple large volume customers with dedicated storage and unit train loop tracks, as well as direct rail-to-truck transloading.

The capital investment required to satisfy the contracted customer’s dedicated volumes is approximately $40 million, which will be funded from available cash raised in connection with Solaris’ IPO and cash flow from operations. This investment includes capital expenditures related to engineering and site preparation, as well as rail and large-scale silo construction that is scheduled to be fully completed by August 2018. Solaris estimates that the contracted minimum volumes represent less than 50% of the operational capacity of the Facility’s initial development.

The contracted minimum annual revenue upon completion of the initial development is approximately $13.0 million. Direct costs of transloading services are expected to be approximately 30% of revenue. Any additional volumes above the contracted minimum will increase revenue.

Operational Outlook

Solaris currently has 49 systems in its rental fleet, all of which are deployed with customers. Over 90% of our systems are deployed to customers with multiple systems. The Company expects to deliver a total of 14 systems to the rental fleet in the third quarter, for a total of 58 systems by end of September 2017.

On August 2, 2017, Solaris announced a revised outlook for system deliveries and capital expenditures in 2017 and reaffirmed such expectations as of the date of this release. Solaris expects to end the year with a system count between 68 to 72 systems, an increase from the previous outlook of 60 to 64 systems. On August 2, 2017, Solaris also increased its 2017 capital expenditure guidance to $75 million to $95 million as a result of both the increased system deliveries and the development of the Kingfisher Facility.

Solaris’ Chief Executive Officer Greg Lanham commented, “We continued to execute on our plan in the second quarter, expand our product offering, and save our customers money on their well completions. We are working hard to meet market demand for next generation proppant handling and management solutions by manufacturing additional systems and continuing to make enhancements to the system design. As proppant consumption levels increase across the industry, innovative and integrated solutions that better manage proppant will be critical to optimizing the supply chain.

“Solaris is uniquely positioned to improve key elements of the supply chain, including integrating transloading with the well site management of proppant. The Kingfisher Facility’s high-velocity throughput capacity, including offloading a unit-train within 24-hours, will increase railcar turns, help de-bottleneck shared rail infrastructure and improve last-mile logistics. This will significantly reduce the delivered cost of proppant.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION — ADJUSTED EBITDA

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense, including franchise taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) unit-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash charges and unusual or non-recurring charges.

We believe that our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Bear Market Rally Continues The market remains in bear market rally mode, and our price target remains the 200-day MAs on the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (IWM), as discussed in last week's Compass (Oct. 25). Longer-term, this is still a bear market until the S&P 500 and IWM can break above their respective YTD downtrends/200-day MAs, and markets could easily test their lows again. With that said, there are signs that suggest breakouts above YTD downtrends/200-day MAs could be coming. Catalysts inc...
