U.S. Well Services announces 1-for-6 reverse stock split

U.S. Well Services (NASDAQ:USWS) trades 7.8% down premarket after it said it is executing a reverse stock split, effective Aug.4, 2022; holders will receive 1 post-split share for every 6 pre-split shares of Class A common stock. The split is mainly for bringing the company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq. Stock will start trading on split-adjusted basis from Aug.5, after market opens. In June last week, the company announced it would be acquired by ProFrac in a stock-for-stock transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.0561 shares of ProFrac Class A Common Stock for each share of USWS Class A common stock. Now with stock split effect, holders of USWS Class A common stock will be entitled to receive 0.3366 shares of ProFrac Class A Common Stock for each share of USWS Class A common stock. Transaction is expected to close in Q4 of 2022.

U.S. Well Services: Little Clean Frac Player That Can Go Big

USWS has embarked on a plan to rapidly grow their active clean fleet count - 1Q22 is the near term nadir with plans to double by year end. Longer term contracts have been signed at increasingly attractive rates. The balance sheet is overlevered but it is manageable and should look far less stretched next year. The company is garnering less sellside attention than it should just as it achieves waypoint after waypoint with a strong macro tailwind.

U.S. Well Services: Risk Factors Can Trump The Optimism

USWS has retired all its conventional pressure pumping fleets and now operates with electric fleets only. Although the fleet count has reduced significantly since 2021, it plans to add four more by Q3 2022. However, the company faces many obstacles, including low fleet count, low fixed cost absorption, and cost inflation. Despite the deleveraging initiatives, the financial risks remain high due to negative shareholders' equity and negative cash flows.

U.S. Well Services Closes Another Weak Quarter And I'm Still Bearish

The company booked a loss of $15.2 million in Q3 2021 as interest expenses topped $10 million. Net debt is over $300 million and the shareholders’ equity is deep in the red. The fracking fleet sector has significant capital requirements and many companies, including U.S. Well Services, have struggled to generate profits even during good years. I continue to be bearish, and the short borrow fee rate stands at 14.4% as of the time of writing.

Revisiting U.S. Well Services: The Situation Looks Dire And I'm Still Bearish

The company has debts of close to $400 million and its shareholders’ equity is deeply in the red. In Q2 2021, the adjusted operating profit of U.S. Well Services was much lower than its interest expenses. The company recently closed a deal for $125.5 million of 16% convertible senior secured (Third Lien) PIK notes and I think its future is bleak. I continue to be bearish and the short borrow fee rate stands at 2.88% as of the time of writing.
