QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Quintana Energy Services Inc. (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Company,” “QES,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 13, 2017. Our accounting predecessor, Quintana Energy Services LP (“QES LP” and “Predecessor”), was formed as a Delaware partnership on November 3, 2014. In connection with our initial public offering (the “IPO”) which closed on February 13, 2018, the existing investors in QES LP and QES Holdco LLC contributed all of their direct and indirect equity interests to QES in exchange for shares of common stock in QES, and we became the holding company for the reorganized QES LP and its subsidiaries.
We are a diversified oilfield services provider of leading onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies operating in both conventional and unconventional plays in all of the active major basins throughout the United States. The Company operates through four reporting segments, including Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial accounts include all QES accounts and all of our subsidiaries where we exercise control. All inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019, is derived from previously audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair statement have been included.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report.
Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standard Adopted
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify aspects of stock-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with the accounting for employee stock-based compensation. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standard Update Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Topic 326"). This ASU is intended to update the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses model ("CECL"). This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The new accounting standard introduces the CECL methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. QES is an oil field service company and as of the three months ended March 31, 2020 had a third-party accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $59.0 million.
QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Topic 326 will not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets or our consolidated income statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify aspects of income tax approach for intraperiod tax allocations when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, and to provide a general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Topic 740 will also provide guidance to simplify how an entity recognizes a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, evaluations of when step ups in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination. Companies should also reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amendments in this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities, if elected, through December 31, 2022. While the exact impact of this standard is not known, the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are changes in facts or circumstances which suggest that the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable. During the latter part of the first quarter of 2020, we experienced significant reduced demand for our services coupled with a significant decline in West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") commodity pricing. As a result, we conducted a review of all of our asset groups in our segments in consideration of the completion of our first quarter 2020 forecast which provided additional insights into expectations of lower growth and margins. As a result of our review, for the Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control, and Wireline segments asset groups, we determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of these asset groups were below their respective carrying amounts and thus were not recoverable.
As a result, we performed an impairment assessment for these asset groups as of March 31, 2020 using the market and income approaches to determine fair value. Our estimated fair values of our asset groups incorporate judgment and the use of estimates by management. We primarily calculate fair value in these impairment tests using discounted cash flow models, which require the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of a Level 3 fair value measurement. Our cash flow models involve assumptions based on discount rates, utilization of equipment, revenues, direct costs, general and administrative costs, depreciation, applicable income taxes, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our fair value estimates of these asset groups are sensitive to varying dayrates, utilization and costs. While we believe these assumptions with respect to future dayrates, utilization, and cost are reasonable, actual future prices for services and activity levels may vary significantly from the ones that were assumed. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices, other than those assumed in developing our forecasts could adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could in turn result in future asset impairment charges for these asset groups due to the potential impact on our estimate of our future operating results.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 there were no triggers or impairment expense.

NOTE 5 - Long-Term Debt
ABL Facility
In connection with the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2018, we entered into a new five-year asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Facility”) with each lender party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The ABL Facility provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility subject to a borrowing base. Upon closing of the ABL Facility, the borrowing capacity was $77.6 million and $13.0 million was immediately drawn. As of March 31, 2020 our borrowing capacity was $56.1 million. The loan interest rate on the $32.0 million borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2020 was 3.5%. The ABL Facility's outstanding balance is recorded as long-term debt and the fair value of the ABL Facility, approximates its carrying value.
At March 31, 2020, we had $23.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $21.2 million availability on the ABL Facility, which resulted in a total liquidity position of $44.4 million.
The ABL Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. Certain affirmative covenants, including certain reporting requirements and requirements to establish cash dominion accounts with the administrative agent, are triggered by failing to maintain availability under the ABL Facility at or above specified thresholds or by the existence of an event of default under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility provides for some exemptions to its negative covenants allowing the Company to make certain restricted payments and investments; subject to maintaining availability under the ABL Facility at or above a specified threshold and the absence of a default.
The ABL Facility contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 that is triggered when availability under the ABL Facility falls below a specified threshold and is tested until availability exceeds a separate specified threshold for 30 consecutive days.
The ABL Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this nature, including, but not limited, to: (i) events of default resulting from the Company's failure or the failure of any credit other party to comply with covenants (including the above-referenced financial covenant during periods in which the financial covenant is tested); (ii) the occurrence of a change of control;
QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(iii) the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against QES or any other credit party; and (iv) the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness that any credit party may have. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject to the terms and conditions of the ABL Facility, the lenders will be able to declare any outstanding principal balance of our ABL Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies, including remedies against the collateral, as more particularly specified in the ABL Facility. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
QES uses standby letters of credit, arranged through our ABL facility, to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties and to secure our performance to certain vendors. Under these arrangements, QES has payment obligations to the issuing bank that are triggered by a draw by certain third parties in the event QES fails to perform according to the terms of its underlying contract.
As of March 31, 2020, QES had issued a letter of credit for $2.8 million. The unused amount under the letter of credit was $2.8 million. To the extent liabilities are incurred as a result of the activities covered by the letter of credit, such liabilities are included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 6 - Income Taxes
As the Company does not operate internationally, income from continuing operations is sourced exclusively from the United States.
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any items, which are recorded in the period in which they occur. Items include, among others, such events as changes in estimates due to the finalization of tax returns, tax audit settlements, expiration of statutes of limitation, and increases or decreases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate was (0.4)% and (2.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to changes in state apportionment.
Tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months.
The federal and state statutes of limitations have expired for all tax years prior to 2016 and we are not currently under audit by the IRS or any state jurisdiction.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States, includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no material tax impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to defer the employer portion of social security tax incurred from the date of the enactment of the CARES Act until the end of 2020. We continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others.
NOTE 7 - Related Party Transactions
The Company utilizes some Quintana Capital Group, L.P. affiliate employees for certain accounting and risk management functions and incurs some tool rental and maintenance charges from Archer Well Company Inc. These amounts are reimbursed by the Company on a monthly basis.

NOTE 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Regulations & Liabilities
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for the protection of the environment. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. However, the Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements on its business, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness.
Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations or liabilities that would have a material adverse effect upon its interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the future to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
Litigation
The Company is a defendant or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Estimates of the range of liability related to pending litigation are made when the Company believes the amount and range of loss can be estimated and records its best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable, and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims is recorded. As additional information becomes available, the potential liability related to pending litigation and claims is assessed and the estimate is revised. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from estimates. The Company’s ultimate exposure with respect to pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not aware of any other matter that may have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 9 - Segment Information
The Company continuously reviews the information to be reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and has determined that QES continues to operate under four reportable segments: Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline. These segments have been selected based on the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM to make decisions about resource allocation and segment performance. The Company considers its Chief Executive Officer to be its CODM. The CODM evaluates the performance of our segments based on revenue and income measures, which include Adjusted EBITDA.
Directional Drilling
Our Directional Drilling segment is comprised of directional drilling services, downhole navigational and rental tools businesses and support services, including well planning and site supervision, which assists customers in the drilling and placement of complex directional and horizontal wellbores. This segment utilizes its fleet of in-house positive pulse measurement-while-drilling navigational tools, mud motors and ancillary downhole tools, as well as electromagnetic navigational systems. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. We provide directional drilling and associated services to E&P companies in many of the most active areas of onshore oil and natural gas development in the United States, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent region, Marcellus/Utica Shale and DJ/Powder River Basin.
QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pressure Pumping
Our Pressure Pumping segment provides hydraulic fracturing stimulation services, cementing services and acidizing services. The majority of the revenues generated in this segment are derived from Pressure Pumping services focused on hydraulic fracturing, cementing and acidizing services in the Permian Basin, Mid-Continent region and the DJ/Powder River Basin. These pressure pumping and stimulation services are primarily used in the completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. Customers for this segment include large public E&P operators as well as independent oil and gas producers.
Pressure Control
Our Pressure Control segment supplies a wide variety of equipment, services and expertise in support of completion and workover operations throughout the United States. Its capabilities include coiled tubing, snubbing, fluid pumping, nitrogen, well control and other pressure control related services. Our Pressure Control equipment is tailored to the unconventional resources market with the ability to operate under high pressures without having to delay or cease production during completion operations. We provide our pressure control services primarily in the Mid-Continent region (including the SCOOP/STACK), Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin, DJ/Powder River Basin, Haynesville Shale and East Texas Basin.
Wireline
Our Wireline segment provides new well wireline conveyed tight-shale reservoir perforating services across many of the major U.S. shale basins and also offers a range of services such as cased-hole investigation and production logging services, conventional wireline, mechanical services and pipe recovery services. These services are offered in both new well completions and for remedial work. The majority of the revenues generated in our Wireline segment are derived from the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent region (including the SCOOP/STACK), Haynesville Shale and East Texas Basin as well as in industrial and petrochemical facilities.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
The Company views Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of segment performance. The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, net (gain) loss on disposition of assets - excluding (gain) loss of lost in hole assets, stock-based compensation, transaction expenses, rebranding expenses, settlement expenses, restructuring expenses, impairment expenses, severance expenses and equipment stand-up expense. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment operating performance.

NOTE 10 - Stock-Based Compensation
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had three types of stock-based compensation under the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (i) restricted stock awards (“RSA”) issued to directors, (ii) restricted stock units (“RSU”) issued to executive officers and other key employees and (iii) performance stock units (“PSU”), which are RSUs with performance requirements, issued to executive officers and other senior management. Stock-based compensation issued prior to the Company’s IPO was subject to a dual vesting requirement, one of which was the time vesting component and the other was the consummation of a specified transaction, which included an initial public offering. As the IPO occurred on February 9, 2018, there was no stock-based compensation expense recognized in periods prior to the IPO. The stock-based compensation awards and units are classified as equity awards as they are settled in shares of QES common stock.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

i. Restricted Stock Awards
In January 2020, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of RSAs to the Company’s non-executive directors. During the first quarter 2020, we granted 230,769 RSAs, which had a grant date fair value of $2.60 per share. The stock awards fully vest in February 2021.
In January 2019, the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of RSAs to the Company's non-executive directors. During the first quarter 2019, we granted 140,844 RSAs, which had a grant date fair value of $4.26 per share. The stock awards fully vested in February 2020.
QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In March 2018, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of RSAs to the Company’s non-executive directors. During the second quarter 2018, we granted 57,145 RSAs, which had a grant date fair value of $8.75 per share. The stock awards fully vested in February 2019.
The Company recognized these RSAs at fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The compensation expense associated with these RSAs will be amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the total unamortized compensation costs related to the non-executive RSAs was $0.5 million and zero, which the Company expects to recognize over the remaining vesting period of 0.9 years.
ii. Restricted Stock Units
During the first quarter 2020, executive officers and key employees were granted a total of 900,597 RSUs, net of forfeitures, under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest ratably over a three-year service condition with one-third vesting on each anniversary of the RSU’s grant date provided that the employee remains employed by the Company at the applicable vesting date.
During the first quarter 2019, executive officers and key employees were granted a total of 897,967 RSUs, net of forfeitures, under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest ratably over a three-year service condition with one-third vesting on each anniversary of the RSU’s grant date provided that the employee remains employed by the Company at the applicable vesting date.
During the second quarter 2018, executive officers and key employees were granted a total of 476,042 RSUs, net of forfeitures, under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest ratably over a three-year service condition with one-third vesting on each anniversary of the Company’s IPO provided that the employee remains employed by the Company at the applicable vesting date.
The Company recognized these RSUs at fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The compensation expense associated with these RSUs will be amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, total unamortized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units was $9.1 million and $18.3 million, respectively, which the Company expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.08 years.

During the first quarter 2020, executive officers and senior management were awarded a total of 941,171 PSUs under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 2020 PSUs are equally divided into two parts, each part is subject to both a performance and service requirement. Under current accounting guidance, the first part of 470,585 PSUs which is subject to a relative total stockholder return performance requirement (the "2020 R-TSR PSUs"), to be measured as of December 31, 2019, and a service requirement are accounted for as being granted. The second part of 470,586 PSUs, were awarded but are not yet considered granted, as these PSUs remain subject to the performance of management and the Company during the period between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 as to be determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee. Any PSUs that have not been earned at the end of a

performance period will be forfeited. Should the grantee satisfy the service requirement applicable to such earned performance share unit, vesting shall occur in equal installments on the anniversary of the Company's IPO in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
During the first quarter 2019, executive officers and senior management were awarded a total of 646,966 PSUs under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 2019 PSUs were split equally into two parts, each part representing 323,483 PSUs. The first part of 323,483 PSUs was subject to a relative total stockholder return performance requirement to be measured as of December 31, 2019, and a service requirement (the "2019 R-TSR PSUs"). Under current accounting guidance, the 2019 R-TSR PSUs were accounted for as being granted. The second part of 323,483 PSUs, which were awarded but were not yet considered granted, (the "2019 Discretionary PSUs") were based on the performance of management and the Company during the period between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 as determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee. In addition to forfeitures from employee terminations during 2019, any PSUs that were not earned at the end of the performance period were forfeited. Allowing for the various forfeitures to date, the remaining earned 2019 PSUs, should the grantee satisfy the applicable service requirement, shall vest in equal installments on the anniversary of the Company’s IPO in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
During the second quarter 2018, executive officers and senior management were granted a total of 425,083 PSUs under the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The PSUs were subject to both a performance and service requirement. The PSUs required the achievement of a certain performance as measured on December 31, 2018, based on (i) the Company’s performance with respect to relative total stockholder return and (ii) the Company’s performance with respect to absolute total stockholder return. Any PSUs that were not earned at the end of the performance period were forfeited. The remaining earned 2018 PSUs, should the grantee satisfy the applicable service requirement, shall vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the Company’s IPO.
The Company recognized the 2019 R-TSR PSUs deemed granted in 2019 and the 2020 R-TSR PSUs deemed granted in 2020 at their fair values determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The compensation expense associated with these PSUs will be amortized on a graded straight line basis over the vesting period.
In January 2020, 184,678 of the 2019 Discretionary PSUs were granted when the Board's Compensation Committee unanimously approved an achievement of 80.0% of the overall awarded 2019 Discretionary PSUs. In addition to the achievement approval, the Compensation Committee approved a motion to cash settle the Discretionary PSUs over a three-year vesting schedule per the grant’s original terms. No equity shares were issued.
These earned 2019 Discretionary PSUs are amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining vesting period, based on the QES stock price on each vesting date, and recorded to stock based compensation expense on the income statement. The 2019 Discretionary PSUs are treated as liability awards since they are settled in cash.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the total unamortized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs was $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize the expense over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.53 years.
A summary of the outstanding PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows:

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger Agreement
On May 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KLXE”), will merge with and into QES, in an all-stock merger transaction (the "Merger"). QES will continue as the surviving corporation and become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KLXE. Upon closing of the merger, KLXE stockholders will own approximately 59% and QES stockholders will own approximately 41% of the combined company.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of QES common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “QES Common Stock”), will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.4844 shares of KLXE common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), par value $0.01 per share (the “KLXE Common Stock”). QES RSUs held by employees and executive officers will automatically be converted into RSU awards with respect to shares of KLXE Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio, in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. RSUs held by non-executive directors will vest at the closing of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements and will be canceled in exchange for shares of KLXE Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Holders of QES Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of KLXE Common Stock they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
The Merger is intended to be treated for United States federal income tax purposes (i) with respect to the holders of shares of QES Common Stock, as a taxable sale of such shares to Krypton Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KLXE (“Acquiror”) and (ii) with respect to KLXE, as a purchase of the shares of QES Common Stock from the holders of such shares by Acquiror.
Following the closing of the Merger, the KLXE Common Stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”).
Conditions to Close and Covenants
The Merger Agreement provides that KLXE will, prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Merger, repay in full our ABL Facility.
The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by QES stockholders and approval of the issuance of KLXE Common Stock in connection with the Merger by KLXE stockholders, (ii) the absence of certain legal impediments, (iii) the approval for listing of KLXE Common Stock issuable in the Merger on Nasdaq and (iv) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, pursuant to which the shares of KLXE Common Stock issuable in the Merger will be registered with the SEC.
QUINTANA ENERGY SERVICES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The parties have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants regarding (i) the conduct of their respective businesses during the period between signing and closing, (ii) obligations to convene and hold meetings of their respective stockholders to obtain the required stockholder approvals and (iii) obligations to cooperate with each other to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-4 and joint proxy statement with the SEC.
Termination Fees
If the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, KLXE or QES may be required to pay a termination fee of $3 million to the other party and reimburse the other party for its expenses of up to $1.5 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by QES or KLXE due to the failure of either party’s stockholders to approve the Merger under certain circumstances, then the party who failed to obtain such stockholder approval may be required to reimburse the other party for up to $1.5 million of expenses, but such party will not be required to pay a termination fee.
Repurchase Program
Our $6.0 million common stock repurchase program approved by the Board on August 8, 2018, was suspended during May of 2020. As of May 1, 2020, the Company had purchased 1.1 million shares for an aggregate of $3.1 million over the life of this program.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 27, 2020, the Company was notified by the NYSE that the average closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average closing price required to maintain continued listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
Under the NYSE’s rules, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. However, due to unprecedented market-wide declines as a result of the spread of COVID-19, on April 21, 2020, the SEC approved the NYSE proposal to toll the cure period for the minimum share price requirement through June 30, 2020. Consequently, the Company has a period of six months, beginning on July 1, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. To regain compliance, on the last trading day in any calendar month during the cure period, the Common Stock must have (i) a closing price of at least $1.00 per share and (ii) an average closing price of at least $1.00 per share over the 30 trading day period ending on the last trading day of such month.
The Company intends to consider all available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance. The notice does not affect the Company’s ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the SEC.

We have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and growing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and a challenging market with heightened competition, rig declines, large-scale consolidation among our customers, increased volatility and customer budget exhaustion on our operations, our financial condition and our people, however, given the tremendous uncertainty and turmoil, there is no certainty that the measures we take will ultimately be sufficient.
In light of these challenging conditions, we remain focused on (i) maintaining market share via our best in class service offering and superior execution in the field, (ii) maximizing profitable activity, including high-grading customers in an effort to increase utilization and efficiencies and improve margins as well as optimizing our cost structure, and (iii) continuing our capital spending prudence and maintaining a conservative balance sheet. Additionally, we remain disciplined in evaluating potential growth opportunities, and will continue to focus on rationalizing unutilized assets and high grading our fleet to create value for shareholders. Beyond cost reductions, we have also actively pursued opportunities in adjacent geographic markets in an effort to attain better pricing, utilization and margins. We will continue to focus on asset rationalization and evaluation of our cost structure, and maintaining a strong balance sheet and considerable liquidity should weak conditions persist for an extended period of time.
How We Generate Revenue and the Costs of Conducting Our Business
Our core businesses depend on our customers’ willingness to make expenditures to produce, develop and explore for oil and natural gas in the United States. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors, such as the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions, global or national outbreak of infectious disease, such as the recent
COVID-19 pandemic, political instability in oil producing countries and merger and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers. The volatility of the oil and natural gas industry and the consequential impact on E&P activity could adversely impact the level of drilling, completion and workover activity by some of our customers. This volatility affects the demand for our services and the price of our services.
We derive a majority of our revenues from services supporting oil and natural gas operations. As oil and natural gas prices fluctuate significantly, demand for our services correspondingly change as our customers must balance expenditures for drilling and completion services against their available cash flows. Because our services are required to support drilling and completion activities, we are also subject to changes in spending by our customers as oil and natural gas prices fluctuate.
Driven by the steep drop in crude oil prices and decrease in demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Baker Hughes land rig count fell by 10% for the first quarter of 2020. For the three months ended 2020, rig counts decreased by a total of 74 rigs from 775 rigs to 701 rigs sequentially. As of May 1, 2020, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices closed at $18.84 per Bbl and the lower 48 U.S. land rig count decreased 312 additional rigs, or 44.5%, to 389 rigs since March 31, 2020.
Crude oil prices decreased 67% sequentially during the first quarter of 2020. WTI decreased $31.55, or 60.9%, to $20.28 per Bbl on March 31, 2020, compared to the closing price on March 31, 2019 of $51.83 per Bbl. The fall in crude oil prices had a negative impact on our first quarter 2020 condensed consolidated results of operations, particularly those tied to activity in the U.S. shale play regions. Prices have continued to be extremely volatile during the second quarter of 2020, ranging from an unprecedented negative $2.72 per Bbl to $29.01 per Bbl. If the current pricing environment for crude oil does not improve, our customers are expected to further reduce their capital expenditures, causing additional declines in the demand for, and prices of, our services, which would adversely affect our future results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Directional Drilling: Our Directional Drilling segment provides the highly technical and essential services of guiding horizontal and directional drilling operations for E&P companies. We offer premium drilling services including directional drilling, horizontal drilling, under-balanced drilling, MWD and rental tools. Our package also offers various technologies, including our positive pulse MWD navigational tool asset fleet, mud motors and ancillary downhole tools, as well as electromagnetic navigational systems. We also provide a suite of integrated and related services, including downhole rental tools. We generally provide directional drilling services on a day-rate or hourly basis. We charge prevailing market prices for the services provided in this segment, and we may also charge fees for set up and mobilization of equipment depending on the job. Generally, these fees and other charges vary by location and depend on the equipment and personnel required for the job and the market conditions in the region in which the services are performed.
In addition to fees that are charged during periods of active directional drilling, a stand-by fee is typically agreed upon in advance and charged on an hourly basis during periods when drilling must be temporarily ceased while other on-site activity is conducted at the direction of the operator or another service provider. We will also charge customers for the additional cost of oilfield downhole tools and rental equipment that is involuntarily damaged or lost-in-hole. Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield downhole tools and other equipment that is involuntarily damaged or lost-in-hole are reflected as product revenues.
Although we do not typically enter into long-term contracts for our services in this segment, we have long standing relationships with our customers in this segment and believe they will continue to utilize our services. As of March 31, 2020, 93.3% of our directional drilling activity was tied to “follow-me rigs,” which involve non-contractual, generally recurring services as our drilling team members follow a drilling rig from well-to-well or pad-to-pad for multiple wells or pads, and in some cases, multiple years. Despite the decline in drilling activity in 2019 extending into 2020, we have increased the number of “follow me rigs” from approximately 56 as of December 31, 2019 to 60 as of March 31, 2020.
Our Directional Drilling segment accounted for approximately 54.1% and 43.7% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Pressure Pumping: Our Pressure Pumping segment provides hydraulic fracturing services including stimulation, cementing and acidizing services. The majority of the revenues generated from the Pressure Pumping segment are derived from hydraulic fracturing services in the Permian Basin, Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 90.2% and 93.8% of Pressure Pumping revenues were generated by a quarterly average of 2 hydraulic fracturing fleets and 3 hydraulic fracturing fleets, respectively. Due to an increase in demand during the early portion of the first quarter of 2020, we reactivated our second hydraulic fracturing fleet and maintained strong utilization throughout the quarter; however, as activity decreased, we idled a spread at the end of March 2020 and idled our remaining spread during April 2020. Demand for our cementing, acidizing and small hydraulic fracturing services experienced significant decreases during March of 2020. Our equipment is prepared to respond and redeploy as soon as demand recovers and adequate returns can be achieved.
Our hydraulic fracturing services are based upon a purchase order, contract or on a spot market basis. Services are bid on a stage rate or job basis (for fracturing services) or job basis (for cementing and acidizing services), contracted or hourly basis. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature and range from a few hours to multiple days. Customers are charged for the services performed on location and mobilization of the equipment to the location. Additional revenue can be generated through product sales of some materials that are delivered as part of the service being performed.
During the first quarter of 2020, Pressure Pumping segment recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $2.5 million. For more information on our impairment activity, please see “Note 2 - Impairment”.
Our Pressure Pumping segment accounted for approximately 17.4% and 20.2% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Pressure Control: Our Pressure Control segment provides a wide scope of Pressure Control services, including coiled tubing, rig assisted snubbing, nitrogen, fluid pumping and well control services. Our coiled tubing units are used in the provision of unconventional completion services or in support of well-servicing and workover applications. Our rig-assisted snubbing units are used in conjunction with a workover rig to insert or remove downhole tools or in support of other well services while maintaining pressure in the well, or in support of unconventional completions. Our nitrogen pumping units provide a non-combustible environment downhole and are used in support of other Pressure Control or well-servicing applications.
We are one of a handful of companies in the market place to offer comprehensive well control solutions. Our well control service offering includes emergency services, critical well services, prevention services and risk advisory services. We offer a broad suite of well control equipment and can custom tailor bespoke tools and equipment for well control applications. Additionally, we forward stage firefighting equipment in-basin throughout the U.S. market. Our services are provided by a dedicated team of deeply experienced team members averaging more than 25 years of industry experience.
Jobs for our Pressure Control services are typically short-term in nature and range from a few hours to multiple days. Customers are charged for the services performed and any related materials (such as friction reducers and nitrogen materials) used during the course of the services, which are reported as product sales. We may also charge for the mobilization and set-up of equipment, the personnel on the job, any additional equipment used on the job and other miscellaneous materials.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Pressure Control segment recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $5.1 million. For more information on our impairment activity, please see “Note 2 - Impairment”
Our Pressure Control segment accounted for approximately 20.5% and 20.3% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Wireline: Our Wireline segment principally works in connection with hydraulic fracturing services in the form of pump-down services for setting plugs between hydraulic fracturing stages, as well as with the deployment of perforation equipment in connection with “plug-and-perf” operations. We offer a full range of other pump-down and conventional cased-hole electric wireline services. We provide cased-hole production logging services, injection profiling, mechanical services and pipe recovery services. These services are also offered in the Petrochemical and Industrial market.
We provide our Wireline services on a spot market basis or subject to a negotiated pricing agreement. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. We typically charge the customer for these services on a per job basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.
During the first quarter of 2020, our Wireline segment recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $1.6 million. For more information on our impairment, please see “Note 2 - Impairment”
Our Wireline segment accounted for approximately 7.9% and 15.7% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our management team utilizes a number of measures to evaluate the results of operations and efficiently allocate personnel, equipment and capital resources. We evaluate our segments primarily by asset utilization, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
For each of our business services segments, we measure our utilization levels primarily by the total number of days that our asset base works on a monthly basis, based on the available working days per month. We generally consider an asset to be working such days that it is at or in transit to a job location. Undue reliance should not be placed on utilization as an indicator of our financial
or operating performance because depending on the type of service performed, requirements of the job as well as competitive factors, revenue and profitability can vary from job to job.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, net (gain)/loss on disposition of assets, stock-based compensation, transaction expenses, rebranding expenses, settlement expenses, severance expenses, restructuring expenses and equipment stand-up expense.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a definition and description of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see “Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased by $48.9 million, or 34.5%, to $92.8 million from $141.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in revenue by segment was as follows:
Directional Drilling revenue decreased by $11.8 million, or 19.0%, to $50.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $62.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 2.3% decrease in day rate and a decrease in drilling rig days for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Rig days decreased by 17.5%, or 923 rig days, to 4,356 as compared to the same period in 2019. Approximately 94.6% of our Directional Drilling segment revenue was derived from directional drilling and MWD activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 97.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Pressure Pumping revenue decreased by $12.5 million, or 43.7%, to $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in demand for hydraulic fracturing in our areas of operation, which led to our stacking of two hydraulic fracturing fleets in March of 2020, as opposed to three active hydraulic fracturing fleets that were in service during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
This drove a corresponding 5.0% decrease in stages to 810 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, we experienced a 42.9% decrease in average revenue per stage to $17,989 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $31,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to pricing pressure driven by the current competitive dynamics in the market. Approximately 90.2% of our Pressure Pumping revenue was derived from hydraulic fracturing services for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 93.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Pressure Control revenue decreased by $9.8 million, or 34.0%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of the recent slowdown and decrease in demand for Pressure Control services. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our Pressure Control segment's weighted average utilization and revenue days decreased 17.0% and 31.3% compared to three months ended March 31, 2019. This was partially offset by more actively deployed Large Diameter coiled tubing units compared to the prior year and a 6.9% increase in weighted average revenue per day to $21,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Wireline revenue decreased by $14.9 million, or 66.8%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Wireline's revenue days and revenue per day decreased by 62.2% and 12.7%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Approximately 83.1% of our Wireline revenue was derived from unconventional services for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 86.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Direct operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $40.1 million, or 33.0%, to $81.5 million, from $121.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in direct operating expense was attributable to our segments as follows:
Directional Drilling direct operating expenses decreased by $6.9 million, or 14.2%, to $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $48.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased equipment repair and maintenance costs and lower rental tool expenses driven by lower rig days and activity levels over the same period for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Pressure Pumping direct operating expenses decreased by $16.3 million, or 53.8%, to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased activity driven by a 5.0% decrease in hydraulic fracturing stages completed to 810 stages compared to 853 stages completed in the three months ended March 31, 2019, which resulted in reduced direct operating expense associated with materials, equipment and personnel costs. Pressure Pumping had two active fleets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to three active fleets during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This reduction in active spreads along with the optimization of our cost structure further contributed to lower costs associated with personnel for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Pressure Control direct operating expenses decreased by $5.8 million or 24.9%, to $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower costs associated with personnel, equipment and consumables for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Wireline direct operating expenses decreased by $11.0 million, or 57.3%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by decreased activity levels and headcount reductions driving lower costs associated with personnel, equipment and consumables.
General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A expenses represent the costs associated with managing and supporting our operations. These expenses decreased by $3.6 million, or 22.9%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily driven by the results of cost cuts fully taking effect during the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and G&A cost savings associated with the continued
optimization of our cost structure during the first quarter of 2020. Stock-based compensation expense of $2.5 million decreased compared to $2.8 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.5 million, or 20.2%, to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to the fixed asset impairment recognized during the third quarter of 2019 resulting in a 30.0% reduction in fair market value of our depreciable property, plant and equipment balances compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Interest expense. Interest expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was consistent with $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $5.2 million, or 68.4% to $2.4 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in Adjusted EBITDA by segment was as follows:
Directional Drilling Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4.0 million, or 42.1%, to $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $9.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 19.0% decrease in revenue as a result of lower utilization and pricing; partially offset by an associated 14.2% decrease in direct operating costs.
Pressure Pumping Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased, compared to a $3.5 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the 53.8% overall decrease in direct operating expenses driven by the positive results of our recent restructuring and cost cutting initiatives.
Pressure Control Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.4 million, or 106.3% to a $0.2 million loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 34.0% decrease in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and a 31.3% decrease in total revenue days for the quarter.
Wireline Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.8 million, or 181.0% to $1.7 million loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The incremental loss was primarily attributable to a $14.9 million revenue decrease driven by a 62.2% decrease in revenue days and a 12.7% decrease in day rates, partially offset by a 57.3% decrease in direct operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been capital contributions from our equity holders and borrowings under the ABL Facility (as defined below) and cash flows from operations. At March 31, 2020, we had $23.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $21.2 million availability on the ABL Facility, which resulted in a total liquidity position of $44.4 million.
Volatile WTI prices, challenges created by the global COVID-19 pandemic and the current oil supply demand imbalance has further decreased demand for our services. Our cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 provided approximately $5.7 million in cash flows, and during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we paid down our debt by $9.0 million. As described in “COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions Update - Current and Future Expected Impact to the Company” above, in response to declining customer activity and commodity price instability, we recently implemented a series of additional cost reductions to reduce our cost structure. However, there is no certainty that cash flow will improve or that we will have positive operating cash flow for a sustained period of time. Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which are utilization and profitability, the timing of billing and customer collections, payments to our vendors, repair and maintenance costs and personnel, any of which may affect our cash available. The COVID-19 outbreak and the related significant decrease in the price of oil resulted in a decrease in demand for our services in the last part of the first quarter, and we expect significant further declines in the second quarter and lower pricing and activity levels to continue until there are clear signs of a commodity price recovery. Additionally, should our customers experience financial distress due to the current market conditions, they could default on their payments owed to us, which would affect our cash flows and liquidity.
Our primary use of capital resources has been for funding working capital and investing in property and equipment used to provide our services. Our primary uses of cash are critical maintenance capital expenditures and investments in property and equipment. We regularly monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financings, in an effort to meet our planned capital expenditure and liquidity requirements. Our future success will be highly dependent on our ability to access outside sources of capital. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the global crude oil supply and demand imbalance and resulting decline in crude
oil prices, has significantly impacted the value of our common stock and which may reduce our ability to access capital in the bank and capital markets, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity.
On April 27, 2020, we received written notice from the NYSE advising us that we no longer satisfied the continued listing compliance standards set forth under Rule 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of our common stock fell below $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period ending April 21, 2020. If our common stock ultimately were to be suspended from trading on, and delisted from, the NYSE for any reason, it could have adverse consequences, including increased difficulty in raising additional capital. For more information on the notice received by the NYSE and current compliance relief allowed, please see “Note 12 - Subsequent Events”.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to decreases in revenue within our Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline segments driven by the current slowdown and market headwinds.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was used primarily for critical maintenance capital spending tied to our existing fleet and nominal growth capital spending in Directional Drilling and Pressure Control segments. We purchased $6.7 million in equipment and received $0.8 million in exchange for selling assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $12.3 million of cash that was used to purchase equipment and the receipt of $3.8 million in exchange for selling assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $0.4 million was paid for treasury shares in connection with our common stock repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of net proceeds received from draws made on our ABL Facility.
Our Credit Facility
ABL Facility
In connection with the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2018, we entered into a new semi-secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Facility”) with each lender party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The ABL Facility provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility subject to a borrowing base. Upon closing of the ABL Facility the borrowing capacity was $77.6 million and $13.0 million was immediately drawn. The loan interest rate on the $32.0 million borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2020 was 3.5%. The ABL Facility's outstanding balance is recorded as long-term debt and the fair value of the ABL Facility, approximates its carrying value. At March 31, 2020, we had $23.2 million of cash and equivalents and $21.2 million availability on the ABL Facility, which resulted in a total liquidity position of $44.4 million.
The ABL Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. Certain affirmative covenants, including certain
reporting requirements and requirements to establish cash dominion accounts with the administrative agent, are triggered by failing to maintain availability under the ABL Facility at or above specified thresholds or by the existence of an event of default under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility provides for certain baskets and carve-outs from its negative covenants allowing the Company to make certain restricted payments and investments; subject to maintaining availability under the ABL Facility at or above a specified threshold and the absence of a default thereunder.
The ABL Facility contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 that is triggered when availability under the ABL Facility falls below a specified threshold and is tested until availability exceeds a separate specified threshold for 30 consecutive days.
The ABL Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this nature, including, but not limited, to: (i) events of default resulting from the Company’s failure or the failure of any other credit party to comply with covenants (including the above-referenced financial covenant during periods in which the financial covenant is tested); (ii) the occurrence of a change of control; (iii) the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against QES or any other credit party; and (iv) the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness that any credit party may have. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject to the terms and conditions of the ABL Facility, the lenders will be able to declare any outstanding principal balance of our ABL Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies, including remedies against the collateral, as more particularly specified in the ABL Facility. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our capital expenditures, including advance deposit on equipment, were approximately $4.5 million, $0.2 million, $1.9 million and $0.1 million in our Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline segments, respectively, for aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $6.7 million, primarily for maintenance capital spending tied to our existing fleet and nominal growth capital spending in our Directional Drilling and Pressure Control segments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were approximately $3.4 million, $3.3 million, $5.0 million and $0.9 million in our Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline segments, respectively, for aggregate net capital expenditures of approximately $12.6 million, primarily for maintenance capital spending tied to our existing fleet and growth capital spending in our Directional Drilling and Pressure Control segments.
In response to the current market environment, including the decline in oil and natural gas prices and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and a reduction of activity levels, we reduced our 2020 organic capital investment program by approximately 50%, or $10.0 to $15.0 million, to a range of $10.0 to $15.0 million, to reflect reductions in non-essential capital spending. As a result of these reductions and decreased activity levels, we currently estimate that our capital expenditures for our existing equipment fleet, approved capacity additions and other projects during the remaining nine months of 2020 will range from $4.0 million to $9.0 million. We expect to fund these expenditures through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by our operations and borrowings under our ABL Facility.
We believe that our operating cash flow and available borrowings under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which are pricing, utilization and profitability, the timing of billing and customer collections, the timing of payments to vendors, and maintenance and personnel costs, any of which may affect our cash available. Critical maintenance capital expenditures will be required as we continue to adjust our cost structure and right size our operations to respond to current market conditions, particularly given the effects of the recent slowdown and the decline in demand for our services.
Further, we do not have a specific acquisition budget since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be accurately forecasted. In the event we make one or more acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures or distributions and/or seek additional capital. If we seek additional capital for that or other reasons, we may do so through borrowings under our ABL Facility, joint venture partnerships, asset sales, offerings of debt and equity securities or other means. We cannot assure that this additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain funds we need, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or to finance the capital expenditures necessary to conduct our operations.
On August 8, 2018, our Board of Directors approved a $6.0 million stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase common stock in the open market. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will depend on market conditions and corporate, regulatory and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. The program does
not obligate QES to purchase any particular number of shares of common stock during any period or at all, and the program may be modified or suspended at any time, subject to the Company’s insider trading policy and at the Company’s discretion. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had repurchased 1.0 million shares for an aggregate of $3.0 million over the life of this program. The Company suspended the repurchase plan in May 2020.
