HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 30, 2019--
Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SOI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), a leading independent provider of supply chain management and logistics solutions designed to drive efficiencies and reduce costs for the oil and natural gas industry, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2019.
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Review
Solaris reported net income of $19.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted Class A share, for third quarter 2019, compared to net income of $22.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted Class A share, in second quarter 2019 and net income of $26.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted Class A share, in third quarter 2018. Adjusted pro forma net income for third quarter 2019 was $17.7 million, or $0.37 per fully diluted share, compared to adjusted pro forma net income in second quarter 2019 of $21.2 million, or $0.44 per fully diluted share, and $24.0 million, or $0.51 per fully diluted share in third quarter 2018. A description of adjusted pro forma net income and a reconciliation to net income attributable to Solaris, its most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA for third quarter 2019 was $31.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $35.2 million in second quarter 2019 and $36.5 million in third quarter 2018. A description of adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
Revenues were $59.6 million for third quarter 2019, a 7% decrease from second quarter 2019 and a 5% increase compared to third quarter 2018.
Capital Expenditures, Free Cash Flow and Liquidity
The Company invested $4.2 million during third quarter 2019, which included investments in its mobile proppant and chemical management systems.
Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less investment in property, plant and equipment) during third quarter 2019 was $26.9 million, which represented the third consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow for the Company. Year-to-date 2019, the Company has generated $55.6 million of free cash flow.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $51.7 million of cash on the balance sheet, which reflects over $1.00 per fully diluted share of cash. The Company currently has approximately $101.7 million of liquidity, including available cash and $50.0 million of availability under its undrawn credit facility.
Operational Update and Outlook
During the third quarter 2019, an average of 115 mobile proppant management systems were fully utilized, a 7% decrease from the 123 fully utilized systems averaged in the second quarter of 2019, and a 10% decrease compared to third quarter 2018. The sequential decrease in fully utilized systems during the third quarter of 2019 was due to a decline in active hydraulic fracturing crews as oil and gas operators reduced activity primarily to stay within budgets, as well as in response to lower natural gas prices.
Based on current industry activity levels, the Company believes it has approximately one third of overall U.S. wellsite proppant storage market share, which continues to represent the leading share.
The Company expects to end 2019 with 166 mobile proppant management systems in its rental fleet, unchanged from the third quarter, and will continue to incorporate field learnings into its fleet of 14 mobile chemical management systems. The Company expects capital expenditures for the full year 2019 to be $40.0 million or less, compared to its prior guidance range of $40.0-50.0 million.
“Towards the end of the third quarter, the industry experienced activity softness as operator activity began to reflect completion efficiency gains and commitment to capital discipline,” Solaris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Zartler commented. “We expect this discipline to continue in the fourth quarter, which will likely drive another step down in activity for the near term. Meanwhile, we have slowed our capital spending rate, resulting in significant free cash flow generation, which will provide flexbility for us to continue to innovate and collaborate with our customers to drive additional well site efficiencies in the future.”
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On September 9, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared its fourth consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock, which was paid on September 26, 2019 to holders of record as of September 19, 2019. A distribution of $0.10 per unit was also approved for holders of units in Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, LLC (“Solaris LLC”).

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, 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) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.
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 to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION — ADJUSTED PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER FULLY DILUTED SHARE
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Solaris assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests in Solaris LLC not held by Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company doesn't believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of ongoing business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Solaris as a result of increases in its ownership of Solaris LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Solaris. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Solaris, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are set forth below.
