NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (“NESR,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms), a British Virgin Islands corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, is one of the largest oilfield services providers in the Middle East North Africa (“MENA”) region.

Formed in January 2017, NESR started as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) designed to invest in the oilfield services space globally. NESR filed a registration statement for its initial public offering in May 2017. In November 2017, NESR announced the acquisition of two oilfield services companies in the MENA region: NPS Holdings Limited (“NPS”) and Gulf Energy S.A.O.C. (“GES” and, together with NPS, the “Subsidiaries”). The formation of NESR as an operating entity was completed on June 7, 2018, after the transactions were approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NESR shareholders. On June 1, 2020, NESR further expanded its footprint within the MENA region by acquiring Sahara Petroleum Services Company S.A.E. (“SAPESCO”).

NESR’s revenues are primarily derived by providing production services (“Production Services”) such as hydraulic fracturing, cementing, coiled tubing, filtration, completions, stimulation, pumping and nitrogen services. NESR also provides drilling and evaluation services (“Drilling and Evaluation Services”) such as drilling downhole tools, directional drilling, fishing tools, testing services, wireline, slickline, fluids and rig services. NESR has significant operations throughout the MENA region including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Algeria, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Kuwait.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates made towards the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of SAPESCO, the allowance for doubtful accounts, evaluation for impairment of property, plant and equipment, evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, estimated useful life of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, provision for inventories obsolescence, recoverability of unbilled revenue, provision for unrecognized tax benefits, recoverability of deferred taxes and contingencies and actuarial assumptions in employee benefit plans.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from the estimates.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted

The SEC permits qualifying Emerging Growth Companies (“EGC”) to defer the adoption of accounting standards updates until the time when a private company would adopt such standards. The Company continues to qualify as an EGC as of September 30, 2020.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases,” a new standard on accounting for leases. This update increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In June 2020, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2020-05, “Accounting Standards Update 2020-05—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities.” ASU No. 2020-05 deferred the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02, as amended, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and related interpretive amendments (ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” and ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements,” inclusive) and assessing the impact, if any, on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related disclosures.

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

4. REVENUE

Disaggregation of revenue

There is significant homogeneity amongst the Company’s revenue-generating activities. In all service lines, the Company provides a “suite of services” to fulfill a customer purchase/service order, encompassing personnel, use of Company equipment, and supplies required to perform the services. Over 98% of the Company’s revenue is from the MENA region with the majority sourced from governmental customers, predominantly in Oman and Saudi Arabia. Information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) 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.

Based on these considerations, the following table provides disaggregated revenue data by the phase in a well’s lifecycle during which revenue has been recorded (in US$ thousands):

	Quarter ended				Year-to-date period ended
Revenue by Phase in Well’s Lifecycle:	September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019		September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019
Production Services	$	148,292	$	97,160	$	420,516	$	284,631
Drilling and Evaluation Services		70,131		64,446		200,455		188,578
Total revenue by phase in well’s life cycle	$	218,423	$	161,606	$	620,971	$	473,209

5. BUSINESS COMBINATION

In June of 2020, NESR executed the Deed of Amendment (“Deed of Amendment”) to the Agreement dated February 13, 2020 related to the sale and purchase of 99.7% of SAPESCO (collectively with the Deed of Amendment, the “Sale & Purchase Agreement”). The executed Deed of Amendment gives NESR control over SAPESCO effective from June 1, 2020. Accordingly, the accounting of the acquisition has been carried out effective June 1, 2020. Formal closing and legal transfer of $15 million of cash and deferred cash consideration was completed in the third quarter of 2020 upon final regulatory approvals and completion of normal closing requirements, which were temporarily delayed as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The Company paid the remaining deferred cash consideration balance of $2 million in October of 2020, and expects to issue 2,237,000 NESR ordinary shares to the SAPESCO selling shareholders during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Description of the SAPESCO Transaction

Under the terms of the Sale & Purchase Agreement, NESR acquired 99.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of SAPESCO in a cash and stock transaction (the “Business Combination”) which comprised of $11.0 million to be paid at closing, an additional $6.0 million to be paid in three equal installments by October 5, 2020, for total cash consideration of $17.0 million, and the issuance of 2,237,000 NESR shares based on a $10.00 per share conversion rate.

The Sale & Purchase Agreement contains earn-out mechanisms that enable the sellers to receive additional consideration after the closing of the Business Combination as follows:

●	Cash Earn-Out (“Cash Earn-Out”) of up to $6.9 million in cash based on collection of certain receivables;

●	Additional Earn-Out Shares (“Additional Earn-Out Shares”) based on the collection of certain receivables and only to the extent that NESR’s average share price during the fourth quarter of 2020 is less than $9 per share; and

●	Customer Receivables Earn-Out Shares (“Customer Receivables Earn-Out Shares”) based on the collection of certain long-dated and/or doubtful receivables for two years subsequent to the Closing Date, to be settled at the NESR Additional Share Price (“NESR Additional Share Price”) which is derived from taking the average of the price of the Company’s shares (“NESR Shares”) during each calendar quarter within the 12 months after the Closing Date and applying the average price in each quarter to the long-dated and doubtful receivables collected during the relevant quarter, provided that if such price is: (a) less than $10, the NESR Additional Share Price shall be $10 or (b) greater than $11.70, the NESR Additional Share Price shall be $11.70.

Collectively, the Cash Earn-Out and Additional Earn-Out Shares were fair valued at $11.7 million. The long-dated and doubtful receivables and corresponding Customer Receivables Earn-Out Shares contingency were fair valued at $0.

Financing of Business Combination

Consideration for the Business Combination was funded through the following sources and transactions:

●	cash and cash equivalents of $11.0 million;

●	deferred consideration of $6.0 million, $2.0 million of which was unpaid as of September 30, 2020 and reflected in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet;

●	the issuance of 2,237,000 NESR ordinary shares to the SAPESCO selling shareholders in exchange for their SAPESCO shares, presented in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020.

The following summarizes the preliminary consideration to purchase 99.7% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of SAPESCO:

	SAPESCO
	Value (In US$ thousands)		Shares

Cash consideration	$	16,958
Total consideration – cash		16,958

NESR ordinary share consideration		12,013		2,237,000
Total consideration – equity ⁽¹⁾		12,013		2,237,000

Estimated earn-out mechanisms		11,678		-	⁽²⁾

Preliminary consideration	$	40,649		2,237,000

(1)

The fair value of NESR ordinary shares was determined based upon the $5.37 per share closing price of NESR ordinary shares on June 1, 2020, the acquisition date of the Business Combination. Control was transferred by agreement with the selling shareholders of SAPESCO.

(2)

The quantity of Additional Earn-Out Shares will not be known until the fourth quarter of 2020 when this contingency is resolved. A liability totaling $6.4 million has been recorded in Other liabilities pending the outcome of this contingency. As the Company is contractually obligated to settle this contingency in shares, we believe that presentation as a non-current liability best matches the contingency with the long-term nature of equity financing.

Accounting treatment

The Business Combination is accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. SAPESCO constitutes a business, with inputs, processes, and outputs. Accordingly, the acquisition of SAPESCO constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805, and due to the change in control of SAPESCO was accounted for using the acquisition method. NESR recorded the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from SAPESCO.

The allocation of the consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is based on various estimates. As of September 30, 2020, management was (1) finalizing fair value of purchase consideration, (2) completing physical verifications and obsolescence assessments for Service inventories and Property, plant and equipment, (3) evaluating the fair value of Service inventories, Property, plant and equipment, and Intangible assets, (4) completing valuation procedures for certain current assets and liabilities, (5) accounting for income taxes, and (6) concluding valuation procedures for Employee benefit liabilities and equipment capital leases recorded in Other liabilities. As such, to the extent of these estimates, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. Management expects that these values will be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2020. Any adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price allocation (in US$ thousands):

SCHEDULE OF PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

Allocation of consideration


Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,740
Accounts receivable, net		16,557
Unbilled revenue		6,125
Service inventories		5,641
Prepaid assets		679
Retention withholdings		279
Other current assets		552
Property, plant and equipment		33,787
Intangible assets		4,220
Other assets		200
Total identifiable assets acquired		71,780

Accounts payable		11,985
Accrued expenses		6,620
Current installments of long-term debt		5,400
Short-term borrowings		5,692
Income taxes payable		313
Other taxes payable		3,110
Other current liabilities		782
Long-term debt		15,572
Employee benefit liabilities		922
Other liabilities		2,772
Noncontrolling interests		56
Net identifiable liabilities acquired		53,224
Total fair value of net assets acquired		18,556
Goodwill		22,093
Preliminary consideration	$	40,649

In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company updated its valuation of certain identifiable assets and liabilities as of June 1, 2020. These measurement period changes resulted in an increase of $1.2 million to goodwill as compared to the amounts recorded as of June 1, 2020. Measurement period adjustments included a reduction in the value of property, plant, and equipment of $0.4 million, an increase in accrued expenses of $0.2 million, and an increase in other taxes payable of $0.6 million. The impact of these adjustments on the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2020 was not material to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805.

The preliminary allocation to intangible assets is as follows (in US$ thousands):

	Fair Value
	Total		Useful Life
	(In US$ thousands)
Customer contracts	$	3,770	8 years
Trademarks and trade names		450	2 years
Total intangible assets	$	4,220

Goodwill

As of September 30, 2020, $22.1 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired. The goodwill is not amortizable for tax purposes. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market positions and the assembled workforces.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the period in which the determination is made may be recognized.

Transaction costs

The Company incurred $1.0 million in advisory, legal, accounting, and management fees through September 30, 2020, which includes the amounts the Company had spent prior to the acquisition date of the Business Combination. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations in connection with the Business Combination. Transaction costs are reported as a cash outflow from operating activities by the Company.

Secured Facilities Agreement

On May 5, 2019, the Company entered into a $450.0 million term loan, revolving credit, and working capital facilities agreement (the “Secured Facilities Agreement”) with Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (“APICORP”) – Bahrain Banking Branch, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited (“HSBC”), Mashreqbank PSC and Saudi British Bank acting as initial mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, Mashreqbank PSC acting as global agent, APICORP and Mashreqbank PSC acting as security agents, NPS Bahrain for Oil & Gas Wells Services WLL (“NPS Bahrain”) and its Kuwait branch, Gulf Energy SAOC and National Petroleum Technology Company as borrowers, and HSBC, Mashreqbank PSC, APICORP and Saudi British Bank, as the “Lenders.” On May 23, 2019 and June 20, 2019, the Company entered into $35.0 million and $40.0 million Incremental Facilities Agreements, respectively, increasing the size of the Secured Facilities Agreement to $485.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. During the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, the Secured Facilities Agreement was reduced to $508.8 million primarily as a result of the non-renewal of a project-specific letter of credit and the payment of the first installment of the long-term loan. There were no changes to the size of the Secured Facilities Agreement subsequent to September 30, 2020.

The $508.8 million Secured Facilities Agreement consists of a $292.5 million term loan due 2025 (the “Term Loan” or “Secured Term Loan”), a $65.0 million revolving credit facility due 2023 (“RCF” or “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $151.3 million working capital facility. Borrowings under the Term Loan and RCF incur interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the Secured Facilities Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, this resulted in an interest rate of 2.9% and 4.3%, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $292.5 million and $300.0 million, respectively, of the Term Loan and $65.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, of the RCF.

The RCF was obtained for general corporate and working capital purposes including capital expenditure related requirements and acquisitions (including transaction related expenses). The RCF requires the payment of a commitment fee each quarter. The commitment fee is computed at the rate of 0.60% per annum based on the average daily amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the outstanding borrowings during each quarter. Under the terms of the RCF, the final settlement is due by May 6, 2023. The Company is required to repay the amount of any principal balance outstanding together with any unpaid accumulated interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the Secured Facilities Agreement. The Company is permitted to make any prepayment under this RCF in multiples of $5.0 million during this 4-year period up to May 6, 2023. Any unutilized balances from the RCF can be drawn down again during the 4-year tenure at the same terms. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.0 (zero) million million and $15.0 million, respectively, available to be drawn under the RCF.

The Secured Facilities Agreement also includes a working capital facility of $151.3 million for issuance of letters of guarantee and letters of credit and refinancing letters of credit over a period of one year, which carries an interest rate equal to three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.25% per annum. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $112.4 million and $134.2 million, respectively, under this working capital facility and the balance of $38.9 million and $25.8 million, respectively, was available to the Company.

The Company has also retained legacy bilateral working capital facilities from HSBC totaling $24.6 million and $30.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, in Qatar ($10.6 million at September 30, 2020, $16.4 million at December 31, 2019), in the UAE ($13.9 million at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019) and in Kuwait ($0.1 million at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019). As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had utilized $19.0 million and $24.1 million, respectively, under this working capital facility and the balance of $5.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, was available to the Company.

Utilization of the working capital facilities under both the legacy arrangement and Secured Facilities Agreement comprises letters of credit issued to vendors, guarantees issued to customers, vendors, and others, and short-term borrowings used to settle letters of credit. Once a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, the Company at its election can settle the letter of credit from available cash or leverage short-term borrowings that will be repaid quarterly over a one-year period. Until a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, it is disclosed as an off-balance sheet obligation. For additional discussion of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies.

The Secured Facilities Agreement includes covenants that specify maximum leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) up to 3.50, minimum debt service coverage ratio (Cash Flow / Debt Service) of at least 1.25, and interest coverage (EBITDA / Interest) of at least 4.00. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

CIB Long-Term Debt

As part of the SAPESCO transaction, the Company assumed a $21.0 million debt obligation with Commercial International Bank (collectively, “CIB Long-Term Debt”). Under the terms of its arrangement with CIB, the Company repaid approximately $11.0 million of this balance during the third quarter of 2020 with the remaining $10.0 million due on August 15, 2021. Borrowings under the CIB Long-Term Debt incur interest at 2% per annum over 6 months LIBOR (to be settled on quarterly basis) plus 50 basis points per annum. As of September 30, 2020, this resulted in an interest rate of 2.25%. The CIB Long-Term Debt (collectively with the CIB Short-Term Debt, discussed below) includes covenants that specify maximum leverage (Total Liabilities / Equity) up to 1.3, minimum debt service coverage ratio ((Cash operating profits after tax + depreciation - annual maintenance for equipment)/(Financial payments + profit sharing for the same period)) of at least 1, and minimum current rate (Current Assets / Current Liabilities) of at least 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2020.

As part of the SAPESCO transaction, the Company assumed a $2.6 million debt obligation with Commercial International Bank (collectively, “CIB Short-Term Debt”) for working capital and overdraft purposes. The CIB Short-Term Debt facilities include a $1.5 million U.S. Dollar time loan facility, a E£2 million Egyptian Pound time loan facility, and a E£10 million Egyptian pound time loan overdraft facility, and $13.8 million U.S. dollars in letters of guarantee. Each CIB Short-Term Debt borrowing matures three months from the date of borrowing with the latest maturity date for amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2020 being January 2, 2021.

The U.S. Dollar time loan facility accrues interest at 2.25% per annum over 3 months LIBOR plus 50 basis points per annum of the Highest Monthly Debit Balance (“HMDB”) commission. The Egyptian Pound time loan and overdraft facilities accrue interest at 0.75% per annum over Corridor Offer Rate plus 50 basis points per annum, HMDB commission.

As of September 30, 2020, the CIB Short-Term Debt resulted in an interest rate of 2.5% and 11.7%, respectively, for the U.S. Dollar and Egyptian Pound denominated facilities. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had utilized $1.4 million of the U.S. Dollar time loan facility, E£2.0 million of the Egyptian Pound time loan facility, and E£9.2 million of the Egyptian pound time loan overdraft facility, and $8.5 million in letters of guarantee, with the balances of $0.1 million, E£0.0 (zero) million, and E£0.8 million, and $5.3 million, respectively, available to the Company.
