Pressure Pumping Services

Mammoth's pressure pumping segment contributed revenues and stages completed of $32.3 million on 764 stages and $25.7 million on 497 stages for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The pressure pumping segment contributed revenues of $124.3 million on 2,442 stages and $170.0 million on 2,963 stages for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Utilization was 63% and 50% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, on two active spreads, as compared to 26% and 63% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, on three active spreads.

Cost of revenue increased by 19% to $21.5 million from $18.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 34% to $86.8 million from $131.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Well Services

Mammoth's well services segment contributed revenues of $2.8 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The well services segment contributed revenues of $10.0 million and $28.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our coil tubing division revenue declined as a result of decreases in average day rates and our flowback services declined as a result of discontinuing our flowback operations in the Appalachian Basin in December 2015 combined with a decline in both pricing and utilization of such services in our other basins.

Cost of revenue decreased by 26% to $3.5 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 52% to $13.5 million from $28.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Natural Sand Proppant Production

Mammoth's natural sand proppant ("sand") segment contributed revenues of $10.4 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The sand segment contributed revenues of $33.8 million and $52.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company sold 195,400 and 83,500 tons of sand for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 575,400 and 512,700 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the Company was not using its Muskie processing plant to produce sand as a result of the decline in commodity pricing and the resulting decrease in completion activity. However, based on recent increases in demand for sand and rising prices, Mammoth recently returned this plant to operation and the first shipments from this plant began in February 2017. The Company expects this plant to reach full utilization of approximately 58,300 tons per month by April 2017.

Cost of revenue increased by 80% to $8.5 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 36% to $28.2 million from $43.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Contract Land and Directional Drilling Services

Mammoth's contract land and directional drilling ("drilling") segment contributed revenues of $11.7 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The drilling segment contributed revenues of $32.0 million and $73.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The changes in revenues resulted primarily from changes in utilization and day rates for both land rigs and directional drilling services.

Cost of revenue increased by 8% to $9.8 million from $9.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 45% to $31.8 million from $57.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Other Energy Services

The other energy services segment contributed revenues of $30.9 million and $35.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The changes were primarily driven by occupancy levels for the respective periods.

Cost of revenue decreased by 6% to $3.2 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 13% to $13.2 million from $15.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by 13% to $5.7 million from $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased by 19% to $16.7 million and $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased compensation and benefits along with decreased bad debt expense charges.

Capital Expenditures

Explanatory Note Regarding Financial Information

The historical financial information for periods prior to October 12, 2016, contained in this release relates to Mammoth Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"). On October 12, 2016, the Partnership was converted into a Delaware limited liability company named Mammoth Energy Partners LLC ("Mammoth LLC"), and then each member of Mammoth LLC contributed all of its membership interests in Mammoth LLC to the Company. Prior to the conversion and the contribution, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. Following the conversion and the contribution, Mammoth LLC (as the converted successor to the Partnership) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On October 13, 2016, Mammoth priced 7,750,000 shares of its common stock in its initial public offering (the "IPO") at a price to the public of $15.00 per share and, on October 14, 2016, Mammoth’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TUSK.” On October 19, 2016, Mammoth closed its IPO. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this release to Mammoth or the Company, when used in a historical context for periods prior to October 12, 2016 refer to the Partnership and its subsidiaries. References in this release to Mammoth or the Company, when used for periods beginning on or after October 12, 2016 refer to Mammoth and its subsidiaries.

The information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the information contained in Mammoth’s final prospectus dated October 13, 2016 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 on October 17, 2016 (the "Final Prospectus").

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer comprise the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker function ("CODM"). Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our CODM manages the segments, evaluates the segment financial statements, and makes key operating and resource utilization decisions. Segment evaluation is determined on a quantitative basis based on a function of net income (loss) before income taxes prior to depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, one-time compensation charges associated with the IPO, equity based compensation, interest income, interest expense and other (income) expense, net (which is comprised of the (gain) loss on disposal of long-lived assets) as well as a qualitative basis, such as nature of the product and service offerings and types of customers.

Based on the CODM's assessment, effective December 31, 2016, the Company updated the reportable segments to align with its new CODM designated reporting structure and business activities. The Company now has five segments consisting of  pressure pumping services, well services, natural sand proppant, contract land and directional drilling services and other energy services. Prior to this change, the reportable segments were comprised of four segments for financial reporting purposes: completion and production services, completion and production - natural sand proppant, land and directional drilling services and remote accommodation services. We have conformed our presentation for prior periods to reflect this new segment presentation.

Additionally, given that the Company is a C Corporation that will file a consolidated income tax returns for periods following the contribution that occurred in October 2016, the Company deems income (loss) before income taxes to be a more meaningful representation of operational performance.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA

"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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, one-time compensation charges associated with the IPO, equity based compensation, interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense, net (which is comprised of the (gain) or loss on disposal of long-lived assets) and provision for income taxes. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and 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 (loss) or cash flows from operating activities 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 measure of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements because this measure:

• is widely used by investors in the oilfield services industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
  
• is a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness; and
  
• is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
  

There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables also provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of (loss) income on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments.

HISTORICAL SEGMENT DATA RECAST

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer comprise the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker function ("CODM"). Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our CODM manages the segments, evaluates the segment financial statements, and makes key operating and resource utilization decisions. Segment evaluation is determined on a quantitative basis based on a function of net income (loss) before income taxes prior to depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, one-time compensation charges associated with the IPO, equity based compensation, interest income, interest expense, and other (income) expense, net (which is comprised of the (gain) loss on disposal of long-lived assets) as well as a qualitative basis, such as nature of the product and service offerings, types of customers.

Based on the CODM's assessment, effective December 31, 2016, the Company reorganized the reportable segments to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, the existing reportable segments were comprised of four segments for financial reporting purposes: completion and production services, completion and production - natural sand proppant, land and directional drilling services and remote accommodation services. As a result of this update, there are five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as described above. We have conformed our presentation for prior periods to reflect this new segment presentation.

The Company has recast the data from prior periods to reflect these change to conform to the current year presentation. For the presentation below, we have shown the quarterly financial results for the pressure pumping and well services segments and aggregation of the two segments to reflect the completion and production services ("Predecessor").
