Sherif Foda, Chairman of the Board and CEO of NESR, said, 'NESR delivered another solid quarter despite ongoing regional and global turbulence from the coronavirus pandemic. Commercially, our team's focus on free cash flow and strengthening our balance sheet resulted in incremental free cash flow on both a year-over-year and sequential quarter basis. Operationally, we continue to demonstrate our core values of being the National Champion for MENA and generating In-Country value with the announcements of a well testing win in Kuwait and a partnership with a significant customer in Oman to create 600 new jobs for Omanis, respectively.'

Mr. Foda continued, 'Additionally, last month, NESR participated in the 2021 Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where we announced the creation of our ESG Impact Segment. The announcement highlighted NESR's commitment to improving the industry ESG performance and delivering services that seek to mitigate climate change, enhance water management and conservation, minimize environmental waste in the industry, and provide innovative energy solutions.'

Net Income Results

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 is $16.5 million. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 is $18.5 million and includes adjustments totaling $1.9 million (collectively, 'Total Charges and Credits') mainly related to integration costs associated with the acquisition of SAPESCO in Egypt and restructuring activities.

The D&E Services segment posted the following results for the periods presented.

Offsetting both the Production Services segment and D&E Services segment results were certain corporate costs, which are not allocated to segment operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands except per share amounts)

The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ('Adjusted EBITDA'), net income and diluted earnings per share ('EPS') adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses ('Adjusted Net Income' and 'Adjusted Diluted EPS,' respectively), as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and diluted EPS, respectively, in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discusses the non-GAAP balance sheet measure of the sum of our recorded current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents ('Net Debt') in this release and provides a reconciliation to the GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt to Net Debt.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company's board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Similarly, Net Debt is used by management as a liquidity measure used to illustrate the Company's debt level absent variability in cash and cash equivalents, and the Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, or diluted EPS, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Net Debt also should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Finally, Free Cash Flow is used by management as a liquidity measure to illustrate the Company's ability to produce cash that is available to be distributed in a discretionary manner, after excluding investments in capital assets. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) operations or Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

Information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments is focused on the timing of when the services are performed during a well's lifecycle. Production Services are services performed during the production stage of a well's lifecycle. Drilling and Evaluation Services are services performed during the pre-production stages of a well's lifecycle. The Company believes that the presentation of Segment EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations.
