News Releases

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 12, 2014) - Secure Energy Services Inc. ("Secure" or the "Corporation") (TSX:SES) today announced financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The following should be read in conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of Secure which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Due to the late onset of spring break-up and the prolonged winter drilling season, activity levels were at record highs for the second quarter in all three divisions that allowed Secure to deliver exceptional results. EBITDA increased 185% and net earnings increased 376%, compared to the second quarter of 2013. Oil and gas industry activity levels through the second quarter were trending at eight year highs with the average rig count for the quarter up 35% from the prior year quarter in conjunction with a 36% increase in meters drilled per well. Oil and gas development remains very strong, with producers focused in the deep basin with longer, deeper and more technically challenging well bores that require specialized drilling fluids systems that result in increased drilling waste and completion fluids. Overall, the increased activity levels and strong demand for products and services resulted in exceptional results in all three of the Corporation's divisions.

The operating and financial highlights for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014 can be summarized as follows:

REVENUE INCREASES

• REVENUE FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 INCREASED 82% AND 55%
  • PRD division revenue (excluding oil purchase/resale) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 86% and 62% respectively, from the 2013 comparative periods. Processing volumes increased 48% and 35% as higher activity resulted in increased demand for services and the addition of seven new facilities that were completed and commissioned after the first quarter of 2013 all contributed to the increase. Recovery revenues increased due to a 43% and 44% increase in throughput at the Corporation's facilities, increased crude oil marketing revenue and higher recovery of oil through waste processing. Disposal volumes increased 88% and 70% as a direct result of increased activity and the addition of the 13 Mile Landfill in North Dakota in October 2013 and the Saddle Hills Landfill in November 2013;
  • DS division Canadian revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $26.6 million and $52.0 million respectively, from the 2013 comparative periods. Drilling fluids market share was 33% and 32% respectively, while revenue per operating day increased to $8,430 and $7,606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Drilling fluids revenue increased 50% and 30% as a result of an increase in meters drilled per well by the Corporation's customers that results in complex and deeper wells drilled that require oil based muds that contribute higher revenues. Overall there was higher field activity as meters drilled in Canada increased by 36% and 12% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year periods as reported by the Canadian Association of Drilling Contractors
    ("CAODC"). Revenue from equipment rentals increased by 141% and 121% relating to higher utilization of equipment driven by robust industry activity, and an increase in the rental fleet from the acquisition of Target Rentals Inc. ("Target") in July 2013, and organic growth of the centrifuge fleet;
  • OS division revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 148% from the 2013 comparative periods. The acquisition of a private oilfield service company during the quarter, and the two acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2014, accounted for the significant increase. A prolonged winter drilling season and favourable weather resulted in an overall increase in industry activity that drove demand for the services provided by the OS division. Equipment utilization remained strong for integrated fluids solutions as customers continually seek out an integrated service for water handling. The projects service line added additional customers and expanded geographic presence in Northern Alberta and BC as a result of the acquisition completed in the second quarter, both of which contributed to the solid results; and
  • Oil purchase and resale revenue in the PRD division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 63% and 71% respectively, from the 2013 comparative periods. Increased pipeline capacity added at the Judy Creek FST in the third quarter of 2013, a 7% increase in crude oil prices year to date, increased oil throughput at the Corporation's pipeline connected FSTs, and increasing crude oil volumes shipped via rail all contributed to the increase.
• EBITDA INCREASES 185% AND 80% FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 DRIVING INCREASES IN NET EARNGINGS OF 376% AND 92%
  • For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the increase in EBITDA and net earnings is attributable to overall strong demand for the Corporation's services and products; the addition of new facilities in the PRD division combined with operational efficiencies achieved due to high volumes; the increase in revenue per operating day and rentals revenue in the DS division; and solid performance of the OS division with the newly acquired assets from three acquisitions executed in the first half of 2014 combined with favourable weather conditions which drove high equipment utilization through the second quarter.
• FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS INCREASES 141% AND 66% FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
  • The 141% and 66% increase for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 is directly attributable to the solid results achieved in all three of the Corporation's divisions driven by robust industry conditions experienced through the second quarter, which in turn drove EBITDA increases as discussed above and resulted in increased funds from operations.
• 2014 CAPITAL BUDGET AND STRATEGIC AQUISITIONS
  • Secure has a focused strategy of constructing and expanding facilities in key under-serviced capacity constrained markets and to capitalize on market opportunities. The Corporation previously announced the 2014 capital expenditure budget of $225.0 million which includes $20.0 million of carry over capital from 2013 projects related to the Kindersley, Edson, and Keene FSTs. Total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $148.0 million for both growth and expansion capital, and acquisitions. Growth capital expenditures included the following:

• PRESS RELEASE SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE
  • The Corporation provided an operational update to the market on June 12, 2014 stating that EBITDA for the two months ended May 31, 2014 was estimated to be in the range of $19.0 million - $24.0 million. Actual results for the two months ended May 31, 2014 did fall in this range.

PRD DIVISION OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

(1) Refer to "Non GAAP measures and operational definitions" and "Additional GAAP measures" for further information

Highlights for the PRD division included:

• Processing: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, processing volumes increased 48% and 35% respectively, from the comparative periods in 2013. The increase in volumes and revenue is a result of an increase in overall demand for the PRD division's services and the addition of new facilities and expansions at current facilities subsequent to the second quarter of 2013 which include: completion of the Rocky and Judy Creek FSTs in May 2013; Kindersley FST in December 2013; Edson FST and Keene FST in North Dakota, in April 2014.
• Recovery: Revenue from recovery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 88% and 57% respectively, from the comparative periods in 2013. The increase in recovery revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is a result of a the Corporation's ability to capitalize on crude oil marketing opportunities at its pipeline connected FSTs resulting in a 33% and 21% increase in crude oil marketing revenues over the 2013 comparative periods, increased throughput at Secure facilities, and an increase in the price of crude oil of 9% and 7% as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
• Disposal: Secure's disposal volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 88% and 70% respectively, from the comparative periods of 2013. The increase in volumes is related to increased demand and the addition of new facilities subsequent to the second quarter of 2013 which include: completion of the Kaybob SWD in August 2013; Stanley SWD in North Dakota in September 2013; 13 Mile Landfill in North Dakota in October 2013; Saddle Hills Landfill in November 2013; and the Keene SWD in North Dakota in November 2013.
• Oil purchase/resale service: Revenue from oil purchase and resale services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 63% and 71% to $412.2 million and $732.8 million from $252.3 million and $428.2 million in the comparative periods of 2013. The increase in the period is due to increased pipeline capacity added at the Judy Creek FST in the third quarter of 2013, a 9% and 7% increase in crude oil prices for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the prior year comparative periods, increased oil throughput at the Corporation's pipeline connected FSTs, and increased crude oil volumes shipped via rail. The revenue from this service line will fluctuate monthly based on the factors described above.
• Operating margin as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 60% and 61% compared to 57% and 62% in the comparative periods of 2013. The 3% increase for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is a direct result of higher activity levels and increased revenue associated with the prolonged winter drilling season and shorter than normal break-up period, an increase in crude oil marketing activities at the Corporation's pipeline connected facilities and increased volumes shipped by rail. The 1% decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is a result of $2.8 million of costs incurred for the ongoing liner repairs at the Corporation's landfill from the fourth quarter of 2013. 
   
• General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for the three and six months ended increased 35% and 36% to $7.8 million and $14.5 million from $5.7 million and $10.7 million in the comparative periods of 2013. Major drivers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the prior year comparative periods are an increase relating to additional employees to support the opening of new facilities and organic growth at existing facilities both in Canada and the US, additional office space and an increase in costs related to Secure's rebranding initiative.

DS DIVISION OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

(1) Refer to "Non GAAP measures and operational definitions" and "Additional GAAP measures" for further information

Highlights for the DS division included:

• Revenue from the DS division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 65% and 39% to $67.6 million and $186.3 million from $41.0 million and $134.3 million in the comparative periods of 2013. The increase in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is the result of a shorter than normal spring break-up resulting in higher drilling activity from a prolonged winter drilling season allowing customers to stay in the field longer and return earlier than usual, and an increase in pad drilling which occurs throughout spring break-up. The average rig count for the second quarter increased 35% from the prior year quarter in conjunction with a 36% increase in meters drilled per well. This led to a combined 50% increase in the drilling fluids service line and a 141% increase for the equipment rentals service line from the comparative period in 2013.
• The DS division market share in Canada for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 33% and 32%, a decrease of 1% for the three month comparative period and consistent for the six month comparative period.
  Meters drilled per well by the DS division's customers increased by 43% and 33% respectively, over the comparative periods of 2013. Additionally, the number of wells drilled that used oil based mud increased by 31% and 25% respectively, over comparative periods of 2013 as a result of an increase in horizontal and directional drilling in which these muds are utilized. Oil based muds contribute higher revenue that drives increases in revenue per operating day. As a result of the factors discussed above, the revenue per operating day increased to $8,430 and $7,606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 from $6,690 and $6,036 in the comparative periods of 2013.
• The increase in the equipment rentals service line revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparative periods of 2013, is a direct result of the acquisition of Target Rentals Ltd. ("Target") in July 2013 which significantly increased the rental asset base, and organic growth in the centrifuge fleet. Additionally, overall rental asset utilization increased 14% and 6% respectively over the comparative periods of 2013 due to the overall higher industry activity levels experienced.
• For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, operating margins increased to 24% and 25% from 19% and 22% in the 2013 comparative periods. As described above, higher activity levels, and increased revenue associated with the prolonged winter drilling season as well as equipment rentals both contributed to higher operating margins. Equipment rentals make up a significant portion of the growth in revenues from the 2013 comparative periods due to the acquisition and organic growth of the rental fleet, and increased equipment utilization which have inherently higher margins. This, combined with the increased drilling fluids revenue has driven the 5% and 3% increase in operating margin over the comparative periods of 2013.
• G&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 45% and 35% to $7.0 million and $14.8 million from $4.8 million and $11.0 million in the comparative periods of 2013. Major drivers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the prior year comparative periods are an increase of 37% and 26% in staffing costs to support the four strategic acquisitions executed in Canada since the second quarter of 2013 and to support the organic growth in both drilling fluids and rentals in Canada and US; and increased costs related to Secure's rebranding initiative.

OS DIVISION OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

(1) Refer to "Non GAAP measures and operational definitions" and "Additional GAAP measures" for further information

Highlights for the OS division included:

• The overall increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is a direct result of the Frontline Integrated
  Services Ltd. ("Frontline") acquisition in April 2013, the three additional acquisitions completed since the second quarter of 2013, and a shortened spring break-up compared to the prior year as work continued through the second quarter and equipment remained on site.
• Projects revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased due to the acquisition completed in April 2014 which added a new geographic area and increased customer base. Additionally, there was an increase in remediation and reclamation projects completed that contributed to increased revenues combined with higher utilization of equipment as a result of favourable weather conditions and robust industry activity from the comparative periods of 2013.
• Integrated fluid solutions revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as a direct result of the acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2014. High equipment utilization, addition of new customers, and the increased offering of complimentary and in demand services, has positively impacted integrated fluid solutions. As the drilling season was extended due to a late spring break-up, demand for an integrated fluids solutions package was at record highs for the second quarter.
• For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, operating margins increased to 23% and 25% from 2% and 12% in the 2013 comparative periods. The operating margin for the OS division is expected to fluctuate depending on the volume and type of projects undertaken and the blend of business between remediation and reclamation projects, demolition projects, pipeline integrity projects, site clean-up, and other services in any given period. In the 2013 comparative periods, the margins were negatively impacted by unfavourable weather as projects were delayed into the third quarter and upfront costs were incurred to prepare for the higher activity levels in the second half of the year therefore reducing margins to break-even levels. The acquisition of a rentals based business in the first quarter of 2014, which inherently achieves higher margins given the initial capital investment for the equipment, has also significantly contributed to the increase in margins achieved for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
• G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $1.7 million and $3.5 million from $1.5 million and $2.7 million in the comparative periods of 2013. G&A expenses increased due to the acquisition of Frontline in the April 2013, the three acquisitions completed since the second quarter of 2013, an overall increase in activity and operations in the division, increased costs related to Secure's rebranding initiative, and costs associated with moving to a new OS division office. G&A is expected to fluctuate based on the growth of the division.

INCREASE IN 2014 CAPITAL PROGRAM

Secure's board of directors has approved the addition of $50.0 million to Secure's 2014 organic capital budget, increasing the budget from approximately $225.0 million to approximately $275.0 million. The additional capital includes the following:

• PRD division growth and expansion capital of $38.0 million consisting of one FSR, and one FST conversion from an SWD;
• DS division growth capital of $6.0 million for various rental and site equipment; and
• OS division growth capital of $6.0 million for addition heavy duty equipment and water handling assets.

The $275.0 million capital budget has been allocated as follows:

• $243 million PRD division: two FSRs (FST), one FST, three SWD conversions to FSTs, one SWD, one landfill; and expansion capital consisting of additional landfill cells, second treaters, pipeline connection, additional disposal wells, new office building purchased in Grande Prairie and various operational upgrades;
• $20 million DS division: construction and completion of the Fox Creek Mud blending plant, opening of the new laboratory facility in July 2014, and various rental and site equipment; and
• $12 million OS division: addition of heavy duty equipment, specialized tools, and water handling assets.

OUTLOOK

Industry fundamentals have remained strong through the first half of the year and are forecasted to continue on this upward trend through the back half of 2014. This has resulted in increased capital forecasts and spending by producers and sets up the third quarter for all three divisions of Secure to deliver results that continue to exceed previous periods assuming activity levels remain robust, and favourable weather conditions remain for continued drilling activity and movement of equipment to sites.

Secure has a focused strategy of constructing and expanding facilities in key under-serviced capacity constrained markets. The list of organic opportunities contains several other projects beyond the ones currently under construction, that reflect the ability of Secure to take advantage of market potential that exists today. Therefore, Secure has increased its 2014 capital budget to $275 million from the previously announced $225 million to capitalize on these opportunities including building out an additional FSR and an FST conversion of an SWD. The Corporation is well positioned to fund its expanded 2014 capital program with available debt capacity from its credit facility and cash flow from operations while still maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Transporting crude by rail continues to provide a strategic alternative to pipeline constraints. As the heavy oil differentials remain strong, this supports the maximization of profits. With construction of the Rycroft FSR, anticipated to be commissioned in the third quarter, and the additional FSR included as part of the increased 2014 capital budget, Secure will have access to the North American rail network providing its customers with further alternatives for moving crude. Secure is committed to continue to diversify its value chain of service offerings to exceed the expectations of its customers and maximize returns to shareholders.

Secure is committed to developing new technologies in order to continually strengthen the value chain of services Secure is able to provide to its customers and recycle and reduce waste in the drilling and completions process. The water recycling technology at the South Grande Prairie FST is in the pilot stage and it is expected to be commissioned and used to produce recycled fluids during the fourth quarter. Secure also continues the development and implementation of solids processing technologies for the recovery of hydrocarbons used in the drilling process. Secure is excited about the potential that exists in these initiatives and is looking forward to further developing these technologies throughout the second half of the year.
