We are pleased to complete the previously announced merger of KLX Energy Services and Quintana Energy Services, bringing together two companies with tremendous strengths and capabilities that make us uniquely equipped to support our blue-chip customers during this unprecedented time, said Christopher J. Baker, President and CEO of the combined company.

The company will be rationalizing two of the largest fleets of coiled tubing and wireline assets, which will dramatically reduce future capital spending and facilitate the pull-through of KLXEs asset-light services. This transaction positions the Company to better weather the current storm and, ultimately, to grow on a significantly reduced capital expenditure budget. I look forward to chairing the Boards Integration Committee to provide oversight of the integration and synergy realization plan, which is expected to generate at least 40 million in annualized cost savings within 12 months as management aligns common roles, processes and systems throughout each function and region in the Company. We are confident that KLXE will be on the leading edge of the recovery once our operations and support functions are fully integrated and aligned.Financial Synergies Excluding the impact of the estimated 40 million of annualized cost synergies from the merger, the combined companies fiscal year 2019 pro forma revenues were more than 1 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was 106 million. Pro forma for the combination, KLXE has an improved liquidity and capital structure with approximately 117 million of cash1 and an undrawn 100 million revolving credit facility, of which approximately 95 million was available1. The merger is expected to be significantly accretive to free cash flow per share. Importantly, the combined company has a strong balance sheet to support critical ongoing business initiatives as well as the pursuit of additional value-creating consolidation opportunities within the oilfield service industry.Operational SynergiesThe combined organization has a highly talented workforce with a commitment to safety, performance, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
