This report focuses on electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Competing chemistries and construction methods vie to become the new industry standard as players race to squeeze more capacity and longevity out of their products while also battling to reduce the cost of production.

Scope

  • The publisher has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, the publisher's thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats.
  • To do this, the publisher tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores.
  • The algorithms in the publisher's "thematic engine" help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen.
  • Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Multi-Theme report, covering all stocks, all sectors and all themes, giving readers a strong sense of how everything fits together and how conflicting themes might interact with one another.

Reasons to Buy

  • Our thematic investment research product, supported by our thematic engine, is aimed at senior (C-Suite) executives in the corporate world as well as institutional investors.
  • Corporations: Helps CEOs in all industries understand the disruptive threats to their competitive landscape
  • Investors: Helps fund managers focus their time on the most interesting investment opportunities in global TMT.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SANDRIDGE PERMIAN TRUST (OTC Pink: PERS) today announced a quarterly distribution for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 (which primarily relates to production attributable to the Trust’s royalty interests from June 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020) of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.033 per unit. The Trust makes distributions on a quarterly basis on or about the 60th day following the completion of each quarter. The distribution is expected to occur on or before November 25, 2020 to holders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2020.

During the three-month production period ended August 31, 2020, combined sales volumes were lower than the previous period while oil prices increased. As no additional development wells will be drilled, the Trust’s production is expected to decline each quarter during the remainder of its life.

As previously disclosed, commencing with the distribution to unitholders paid in the first quarter of 2019, the Trustee has withheld, and in the future intends to withhold, the greater of $190,000 or 3.5% of the funds otherwise available for distribution each quarter to gradually increase existing cash reserves by a total of approximately $2,275,000. The withholding for this distribution is $190,000. This cash is reserved to pay or provide for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities of the Trust.

As previously disclosed, on October 13, 2020, Avalon Energy, LLC (“Avalon”), the sponsor of the Trust, notified the Trustee that Avalon had entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Montare Resources I, LLC (“Montare”) for the sale of certain wells, the production from which is burdened by overriding royalty interests held by the Trust (the “Overriding Royalty Interests”). As permitted under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement governing the Trust, the Assets have been sold to Montare unburdened by the Trust’s Overriding Royalty Interests, and the Trust has received approximately $4.9 million for the Royalty Interests released by the Trustee in connection with the sale of the Assets. These proceeds will be distributed by the Trust, less any withholdings as determined by the Trustee, to unitholders with the quarterly distribution, if any, for the three-month period ending December 31, 2020 (which primarily relates to production attributable to the Trust’s royalty interests from September 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020) in accordance with the terms of conveyances granting the Overriding Royalty Interests to the Trust. Such distribution is expected to occur in late February 2021.

The Trust owns Overriding Royalty Interests in specified oil and natural gas wells located on properties situated in the Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin in Andrews County, Texas (the “Underlying Properties”), and is entitled to receive proceeds from the sale of production attributable to the Overriding Royalty Interests. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the quarterly distributions is expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, and the amount and timing of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. All Trust unitholders share distributions on a pro rata basis.

As previously reported in the Trust’s Form 8-K filed on April 23, 2020, Avalon informed the Trustee that Avalon would be unable to pay on a timely basis the approximately $4.65 million it owes the Trust, which reflects the quarterly distribution amount for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 (which primarily relates to production attributable to the Trust’s interests from December 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020) of approximately $3.73 million, or $0.071 per unit, together with approximately $0.73 million of Trust expenses and $0.19 million to be withheld by the Trustee for the Trust’s previously disclosed cash reserve for future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities of the Trust. Consequently, the Trustee was not able to make the quarterly distribution to unitholders in the second quarter of 2020. In accordance with the terms of the conveyances granting the Trust its Overriding Royalty Interests (the “Conveyances”), the unpaid amount owed the Trust will accrue interest at the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. at its “prime rate” in effect at its principal office in New York City until paid to the Trust. Avalon has informed the Trustee that Avalon intends to make the payment of the May 2020 distribution to the Trust, with interest in accordance with the Conveyances, when funds are available to do so. The Trustee intends to monitor the situation closely and, if appropriate, may take legal action against Avalon to enforce the Trust’s rights under the Conveyances.

As previously reported in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Trust’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, which has resulted in the implementation of a series of public health and emergency measures to combat the spread of COVID-19. These measures have adversely affected general commercial activity, the economies and financial markets of many countries and localities, and global demand for oil and natural gas. The duration and impact of COVID-19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact that these developments will have on future periods. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on crude oil consumption and the resulting build-up in inventories combined with the sharp decline in commodity prices following the announcement of price reductions and production increases in March 2020 by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC+”) and other foreign, oil-exporting countries has created uncertainty in the oil and gas industry. Although OPEC+ has since agreed to certain production cuts, prices in the oil and gas market have remained depressed, as the oversupply and lack of demand in the market persist. Oil and natural gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of the near-term production instability and the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and as changes in oil and natural gas inventories, industry demand and global and national economic performance are reported. As a result of price volatility, Avalon has seen a deterioration in cash flows from the Underlying Properties.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1446, withholding tax on income effectively connected to a United States trade or business allocated to non-U.S. persons (“ECI”) should be made at the highest marginal rate. Under Section 1441, withholding tax on fixed, determinable, annual, periodic income from United States sources allocated to non-U.S. persons should be made at 30% of gross income unless the rate is reduced by treaty. This is intended to be a qualified notice by SandRidge Permian Trust to nominees and brokers as provided for under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b), and while specific relief is not specified for Section 1441 income, this disclosure is intended to suffice. Nominees and brokers should withhold at the highest marginal rate on the distribution made to non-U.S. persons. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) enacted in December 2017 treats a non-U.S. holder’s gain on the sale of Trust units as ECI to the extent such holder would have had ECI if the Trust had sold all of its assets at fair market value on the date of the exchange. The TCJA also requires the transferee of units to withhold 10% of the amount realized on the sale of exchange of units (generally, the purchase price) unless the transferor certifies that it is not a nonresident alien individual or foreign corporation. Pending the finalization of proposed regulations under IRC Section 1446, the IRS has suspended this new withholding obligation with respect to publicly traded partnerships such as the Trust, which is classified as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes.

These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders, the Trustee’s planned withholding of funds to increase cash reserves for future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities of the Trust, expectations regarding the ability of Avalon to make the payment of the amount it owes to the Trust for quarterly distribution for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 (which primarily relates to production attributable to the Trust’s interests from June 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020), the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, the timing of payment of the expected amount relating to the May 2020 distribution together with interest thereon, possible actions by the Trustee to enforce the Trust’s rights under the Conveyances, and the amount and date of any future distributions to unitholders of the Trust. The anticipated distribution is based, in part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from Avalon with respect to the relevant period. Any differences in actual cash receipts by the Trust could affect this distributable amount. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will be significantly and negatively impacted by prevailing low commodity prices, which could remain low for an extended period of time or decline further. In addition to the recent collapse of oil prices and the worldwide collapse of demand for oil, recent announcements by Saudi Arabia and Russia to abandon output restraints, and the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely impact distributions to unitholders include lease operating expenses related to the operation of the Underlying Properties, expenses of the Trust, and reserves made by the Trust for anticipated future expenses. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither Avalon nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in common units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, and all of its other filings with the SEC.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oilfield Integrity Management Market by Management Type (Planning, Predictive Maintenance & Inspection, Corrosion Management, Data Management, and Monitoring System), Component (Hardware, Software, Services), Application, & Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global oilfield integrity management market size is projected to grow from an estimated USD 12.8 billion in 2020 to USD 18.8 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2020 to 2025.

The growth of this market is driven by the increasing focus of oilfield operators to enhance their productivity by reducing downtime required in maintenance activities. Also, the oil and gas discoveries across the globe are likely to fuel market growth. North America accounted for the largest market share in 2019. The growth of the North American oilfield integrity management market is driven by rise in shale gas & tight oil production, favorable regulations related to the licensing of exploration & production activities, and an increase in oilfield discoveries in Gulf of Mexico.

The onshore segment is expected to hold the largest share of the oilfield integrity management market, by application, during the forecast period.

Onshore wells are widely drilled across the world, with more oil & gas production potential from regions such as the Middle East, North America, Africa, and Asia Pacific. The demand for oilfield integrity management is high in the onshore application segment as new well drilling activities are rising in onshore locations at a faster pace than in the offshore fields. In addition, the cost incurred in onshore oilfield activities is less compared to the offshore application.

Middle East & Africa: The fastest market for oilfield integrity management.

The Middle East & Africa is the fastest-growing market for oilfield integrity management, followed by North America and Europe. According to Baker Hughes' rig count report, the total onshore rig count experienced a 1% Y-o-Y decline from 2017 to 2018. Additionally, the rig to well ratio is very low in the region. This shows that there are very few new drilled wells in the region, and the production activities are highly concentrated in the mature fields. Hence, enhancement of production and any developments on these mature fields/wells are expected to drive the oilfield integrity management market during the forecast period.

Doosan GridTech, a global smart grid technology provider, will examine how V2G chargers will impact grid resiliency at SnoPUD’s Arlington Microgrid site.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Snohomish County PUD (SnoPUD) has engaged Doosan GridTech to integrate two electric vehicle-to-grid chargers within its distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) designed by Doosan. Located at SnoPUD’s Arlington Microgrid site, the V2G stations can charge the vehicle and allow for the energy stored to flow back to the grid and provide support during an outage. The pilot program’s primary objective is to examine the effects of this two-way interface. Deployed in SnoPUD’s control center, Doosan’s flagship DERMS software, DERO®, has been actively integrating and optimizing distributed energy resources since 2017.

Since the self-contained Arlington Microgrid is required to be connected to the broad grid network during normal operations, the DERO® platform will also be updated to control and dispatch the microgrid’s energy storage system as well as the electric vehicle charging stations.

“Snohomish PUD has been collaborating with Doosan on smart grid enhancements since 2012 when we worked with them to design their pioneering distributed energy resource management system,” said John Haarlow, SnoPUD’s CEO/General Manager. “We see this as an important step in our 'utility of the future' vision and for SnoPUD to be one of the premier utilities in the country. We are excited to help our customers maximize the value of owning an electric vehicle as well as being able to leverage other distributed energy resources as they are brought on to our system.

“We look forward to working again with Doosan and appreciate their expertise in artificial intelligence. This study is the next level of progression to assure that we have the right systems in place to meet SnoPUD’s and our customers’ needs.”

Doosan will also partner with Awesense, a Canadian software company that accelerates the energy transition through data. Their digital energy platform will be integrated with the DERO control management system to enable more granular insight into the distributed energy resources, V2G devices and other assets involved in the project. The goal is to provide DERO and SnoPUD users with accurate, real-time data and analytics to aid their decision-making and scale the technology.

“We are honored that Snohomish PUD has asked us to collaborate on the updates to our DERO platform to help them further prepare for grid resiliency,” said Troy Nergaard, Doosan GridTech’s CEO. “I am happy that we can capitalize on our recent ground-breaking DERMS development with Austin Energy and bring some of that learning to SnoPUD. Now we can raise the bar on incorporating proven artificial intelligence advancements that fit the needs of SnoPUD’s progressive thinking about future grid requirements, especially in the face of the expanding V2G frontier.”

The Arlington Microgrid will focus on disaster recovery and grid resiliency. The solar + storage system is designed and sized to provide power to SnoPUD’s Arlington Community Office during an outage. When the microgrid isn’t acting like a giant solar-powered emergency generator, it will recover some of its costs by providing renewable energy integration and grid support through Doosan’s DERMS platform.

Snohomish County PUD is the second-largest publicly owned utility in Washington. We serve over 350,000 electric customers and about 21,000 water customers. Our service territory covers over 2,200 square miles, including all of Snohomish County and Camano Island.

Doosan GridTech® is an award-winning team of power system engineers, software developers and turnkey energy storage specialists. We help electric utilities and other megawatt-scale power producers evaluate, procure, integrate and optimize energy storage, solar power and other distributed energy resources. Our multi-disciplined teams in Seattle, Melbourne, and Seoul have designed, built and/or controlled over 30 energy storage installations in the Americas and Asian-Pacific regions – representing 310 MW of capacity. Ranked as one of the top energy storage solution providers by Navigant Research and Bloomberg New Energy Finance, we are the proud recipients of two Grid Innovation Awards from GreenTech Media. www.doosangridtech.com

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) announced today its results for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020.


– Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA1 improved 36% vs Q2

– Net debt reduction of $4 million along with an increase in liquidity

– Momentum grew across Q3 with monthly sequential revenue and EBITDA increases

Consolidated Financial Highlights

Revenues increased $3.9 million, or 13%, to $34.6 million in Q3, from $30.7 million in Q2. Revenue increases took place in the High Specification Rigs and Completion and Other Services segments.

Net loss decreased $3.2 million, from a net loss of $8.9 million in Q2, to a net loss of $5.7 million in Q3. The decrease in the net loss was largely driven by increased revenues and a reduction in depreciation and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in cost of services.

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased $1.2 million from $3.2 million in Q2 to $4.4 million in Q3.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). A Non-GAAP supporting schedule is included with the statements and schedules attached to this press release and can also be found on the Company's website at: www.rangerenergy.com.

CEO Comments

“This has proven to be a successful quarter for Ranger. Q3 appears to have marked the bottom of this most recent downturn with US land drilling rig and frac spread counts down 15% and 10%, respectively, as compared to Q2. However, we performed counter to these data points delivering sequential increases in revenue, EBITDA and margin.

I am very proud of the job that our team continues to deliver. Their efforts in providing excellent services to our outstanding customer base, while demonstrating disciplined cost control, again led to top performing results in a very challenging market.

While the current market conditions continue to challenge the sustainability of many OFS companies, Ranger's performance shows that we are clearly on a different path; every month of Q3 yielded improving consolidated results, our balance sheet remains strong with a modest $20 million of term debt, and our liquidity position is up approximately 40% from the late Q2 low point. This desirable set of metrics allows us to focus on our customers, our performance and our strategic options further fueling Ranger's growth and success.

It is definitely too early to point to a broad market recovery, however within our segments and select basins we are experiencing significant positive trends. These improvements include month over month increases in High Specification Rig hours and rates, an increase in active wireline units, and additional contract opportunities from customers scheduled to add frac crews in late Q4 or early 2021. Also, our Processing Solutions group has been growing a significant backlog of bid opportunities. While we still have a long road ahead of us, we are optimistic about the future and have now moved into the fourth quarter with great momentum.

In regards to our strategic initiatives, our efficient operating model continues to prove successful as demonstrated through our consistent margin performance across 2020. Our focus on top-tier clients is yielding a growing high-quality revenue stream with additional contract opportunities ahead of us. Finally, while the acquisition and merger environment remains opportunity rich, we continue to maintain a disciplined approach; focusing on delivering clear value to our shareholders while minimizing any risk to our strong balance sheet.”

Business Segment Financial Results

High Specification Rigs

High Specification Rigs segment revenue increased by $3.1 million to $14.5 million in Q3 from $11.4 million in Q2 2020. The increase in revenues was driven by a 23% increase in rig hours to 30,200 hours in Q3 from 24,600 hours in Q2. The hourly average rig rate increased $17, or 4%, to $480 in Q3 from $463 in Q2 on customer mix shift.

Operating loss decreased by $1.5 million to a loss of $2.4 million in Q3 from a loss of $3.9 million in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA increased 41%, or $0.7 million, to $2.4 million in Q3 from $1.7 million in Q2. The decrease in operating loss and increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues, partially offset by increased cost of services. The operating loss was further impacted by a reduction of depreciation expense.

Completion and Other Services

Completion and Other Services segment revenue increased by $1.2 million to $18.9 million in Q3 from $17.7 million in Q2 2020. The increase in revenue for the quarter is attributable to the wireline business.

Operating income increased $0.4 million to $2.2 million in Q3 from $1.8 million in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9%, or $0.4 million, to $5.0 million in Q3 from $4.6 million in Q2. The increase in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased revenues, partially offset by increased cost of services related to wireline services.

Processing Solutions

Processing Solutions revenue decreased $0.4 million to $1.2 million in Q3 from $1.6 million in Q2 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by a reduction in service revenue along with reduced MRU utilization, within the segment.

Operating income increased $0.3 million to income of $0.2 million in Q3 from a loss of $0.1 million in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 25%, or $0.3 million, to $0.9 million in Q3 from $1.2 million in Q2. The increase in operating income was driven by reductions in depreciation expense.

Liquidity

We ended the quarter with $13.8 million of liquidity, consisting of $10.4 million of capacity available on our revolving credit facility and $3.4 million of cash. The Q3 cash ending balance of $3.4 million compares to $6.0 million at the end of Q2 2020. Currently, our liquidity approximated $14.0 million.

Debt

We ended Q3 with aggregate net debt of $24.4 million, a reduction of $3.6 million as compared to $28.0 million at the end of Q2.

We had an outstanding draw on our revolving credit facility of $3.0 million at the end of Q3 compared to $5.0 million at the end of Q2. During the quarter, we made aggregate payments of $5.3 million on the principal credit facility balance, partially offset by borrowings of $3.3 million.

We had an outstanding balance on our Encina Financing Agreement of $22.7 million at the end of Q2 and we made aggregate payments of $2.5 million during Q3, leaving a principal balance of $20.2 million at the end of Q3.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill, gain or loss on sale of assets and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income or loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially 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 or loss determined in accordance with GAAP. 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 reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables present reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables are a reconciliation of net income or loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, in millions:
