THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2015 was $325.5 million, a decrease of 53% compared to the third quarter of 2014. The adjusted loss was $53.6 million and adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.36 compared to an adjusted profit of $36.2 million and adjusted diluted profit per share of $0.24 in the same period of 2014. Funds used in operations were $16.3 million compared to funds provided by operations of $102.1 million in the third quarter of 2014.

During the third quarter, Trican closed the sale of its Russian pressure pumping business to RN Assets LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, for a purchase price of USD$140 million and an initial working capital adjustment of USD$10 million or approximately CAD$197.2 million. Trican intends to apply the net proceeds from this sale to reduce its outstanding debt.

Trican and Rosneft are also continuing to negotiate for the sale of Trican's Kazakhstan pressure pumping business. If the parties reach agreement on the terms of the sale of the Kazakhstan business, Trican expects that such sale would close in Q4 2015. There is no guarantee that the parties will be able to agree on terms regarding the sale of the Kazakhstan business or complete the transaction on the terms agreed. Further, such transaction would be subject to approval by the Kazakhstan Antimonopoly Body, and final corporate approvals by Trican and the Purchaser.

On September 25, 2015 Trican, its lenders and senior noteholders reached an agreement in principle amending the terms of the current credit agreements. Trican, its lenders and the senior noteholders expect to finalize the  amending agreement on the same terms and conditions as the agreement in principle on November 13, 2015. As at September 30, 2015, Trican is in compliance with the terms of the amending agreement.

Canadian operations generated $193.4 million of revenue and adjusted operating income of $37.4 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to revenue of $360.9 million and adjusted operating income of $97.3 million during the third quarter of 2014. Canadian results were negatively impacted by reduced drilling and completions activity caused by low commodity prices. Activity levels were very low when compared to third quarter of 2014 but increased meaningfully when compared to Q2 2015 due to seasonal increases in activity and market share gains. The increased level of activity was partially offset by a slight sequential decline in pricing. Trican significantly lowered its costs during the quarter which had a large impact on our ability to achieve peer leading margins in the Canadian region. Our product costs were lowered by approximately 10-20% for proppant, cement, chemicals, third party hauling, fuel and parts. Trican's fixed cost structure in the Canadian operation has been reduced by 41% since the beginning of 2015 as a result of workforce reductions, discretionary spending reductions and lower compensation programs. Repair and maintenance spending has not been significantly lowered as we continue to keep our equipment in good working order and have not scavenged equipment during the downturn. Approximately 35% of the Canadian operations' equipment remains parked and we will continue to monitor activity and pricing levels and adjust our active equipment fleet and cost structure accordingly. Our parked equipment in all regions is ring-fenced and available to be re-deployed with little cost should industry conditions improve.  

U.S. operations generated $120.6 million of revenue and an adjusted operating loss of $13.7 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to Q3 2014 revenue of $314.6 million and adjusted operating income of $19.6 million. Despite continued low demand combined with excess pressure pumping supply, our U.S. operations increased revenue 52% sequentially from Q2 2015 to Q3 2015. During the third quarter we operated eight of our sixteen crews in the U.S. during the third quarter. As in Canada, we have not reduced our spending on maintenance and all of our parked equipment could be put back into service at any time with minimal cost. Pricing decreased slightly since the last quarter and is down 30% relative to peak pricing levels at the end of 2014. Activity increased substantially over the second quarter as we repositioned much of our equipment with new clients which substantially improved sequential utilization. August results were strong with a positive 4% operating margin however, our U.S. third quarter results were hurt by a weak September, due to our Marcellus customers having a temporary slowdown due to normal job scheduling issues. We have experienced a recovery in October as four of five contracted crews went back to work in October. As a result of continued pricing pressure in the Eagle Ford and Permian basins and a lack of sustained work programs on these spot market crews, we have shut down two more of our fracturing crews in this region. Therefore, we will be running four crews in Marcellus and two in Oklahoma until industry activity and pricing improves.   

Management has meaningfully reduced the U.S. operations' cost structure and continues to adjust it to current industry activity and operating conditions. U.S. operational results benefitted from price reductions in the 15-25% range for proppant, cement, chemicals, third party hauling, fuel and parts. Management has also reduced the U.S. operations' fixed-cost structure by 16% during the third quarter on a sequential basis and 51% since the fourth quarter of last year. Management expects that fourth quarter operating margins will improve sequentially from Q3 due to additional cost savings realized from shutting down our Texas operations and from five of our six crews going forward being committed into high utilization positive EBITDA contracts. Management will continue to monitor activity and pricing levels and adjust our active equipment fleet and cost structure accordingly to ensure we maintain high utilization on our equipment.

International operations generated $11.5 million in revenue and adjusted operating income of $1.6 million during the 2015 third quarter compared to Q3 2014 revenue of $13.0 million and adjusted operating income of $1.3 million. Weak market conditions in Kazakhstan and the suspension of operations in Colombia and Saudi Arabia negatively impacted our revenue. However, these factors were offset by increased level of activity in our Norwegian and Russian completions tools business. As of the third quarter of 2015, the profits and losses associated with Russia pressure pumping, Australia and Algeria have been classified as discontinued operations, as Trican completely exited these markets.

Operations Review

Low commodity prices continued to have a significant impact on the demand for Trican's Canadian pressure pumping services in the third quarter of 2015, as revenue decreased by 46% on a year-over-year basis. Rig count in Canada decreased by 51% compared to the same quarter of 2014, as customers reduced capital spending. Weak third quarter demand also had a significant impact on Canadian pricing levels. Third quarter average pricing decreased 25% compared to the same period in 2014.

Despite a year-over-year decrease in revenue of $167.5 million and lower gross margins due to pricing reductions, Canadian operations generated adjusted operating income of $37.4 million, or 19.3% of net revenue due to cost savings initiatives realized during Q2 and Q3 2015.  

Industrial services activity remained strong in the third quarter of 2015 as revenue from this service line increased by 61% on a year-over-year basis. Industrial services demand is less dependent on commodity prices because it is based on pipeline and plant maintenance rather than drilling and completions activity.

Q3 2015 versus Q3 2014

Canadian revenue for the third quarter of 2015 decreased by 46% compared to the third quarter of 2014. Low commodity prices led to a significant decrease in demand for our services, which was reflected in the 44% year-over-year decline in the job count. Revenue per job decreased by 6% due to a 25% year-over-year drop in overall Canadian pricing, which was partially offset by an increase in fracturing job size. Sales mix also caused a decrease in revenue per job as the number of industrial services jobs increased year over year. The size of industrial service jobs is typically smaller than jobs from other service lines in Canada.

Materials and operating expenses increased to 80.1% of revenue compared to 71.4% for the same period in 2014. The gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 was 10.6% of revenue compared to 24.0% for the same period in 2014. The year-over-year decline in activity levels reduced operating leverage on our fixed cost structure and when combined with reduced pricing caused a decrease in operating and gross margins.

General and administrative costs were down by $4.1 million due primarily to lower employee and share based expenses. Lower employee expenses resulted from aggressive cost reduction initiatives during the third quarter of 2015.

Q3 2015 versus Q2 2015

Canadian revenue in the third quarter increased 136% compared to the second quarter of 2015. A slower than typical spring break up was followed by a gain of market share with new customers, resulting in an increase in the number of jobs by 86%. Job count and revenue per job increased quarter over quarter due to an increase in activity levels and larger fracturing job size, resulting in a 29% increase in revenue per job.

As a percentage of revenue, third quarter materials and operating expenses decreased to 80.1% compared to 110.8% during the second quarter of 2015. The gross profit was 10.6% during the third quarter compared to a gross loss of 30.6% in the second quarter of 2015. This improvement was due to an increase in activity levels resulting in increased operating leverage on our cost structure and a lower fixed cost structure due to cost saving initiatives implemented throughout the first half of 2015. General and administrative costs decreased by $2.3 million due mainly to lower share-based expenses.

Operations Review

Weak commodity prices led to a substantial decrease in oilfield activity in the U.S. as the average number of active drilling rigs was down by 62% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2015. Despite continued low demand combined with excess pressure pumping supply, our U.S. operations increased revenue 52% sequentially from Q2 2015 to Q3 2015 due to a higher job count.

Although several of our U.S. customers reduced or completely eliminated well completion activity early in the second quarter, we began to win new work and saw a progressive increase in utilization towards the end of the second quarter, which contributed to an improvement in utilization during the third quarter. Pricing levels for our U.S. operations remained at historical lows  degraded slightly between the second and third quarter of 2015. Pricing is now down 30% relative to peak pricing levels from the end of 2014. In this low pricing environment maintaining a high utilization is key to positive operating results. August results were strong with a positive 4% operating income due to utilization on our eight crews in the 65 to 70% range. U.S. third quarter results were hurt by a weak September due to our Marcellus customers having a temporary slowdown due to normal job scheduling issues. Utilization improved to 60% to 65% levels in October as our Marcellus customers re-initiated their job programs.

Cost cutting remained a key area of focus for our U.S. operations during the third quarter. We continued to negotiate lower pricing from all of our product suppliers. The cost of key products has now declined by 15-25% year-to-date and the impact of these cost savings was fully realized during the third quarter of 2015. So far this year, we have reduced our U.S. employee base by 60% and maintained only eight of our sixteen U.S. fracturing crews active in response to the low demand.

The impact of the cost cutting measures combined with increased level of activity helped offset the impact of low pricing as third quarter adjusted operating loss was reduced by $9.1 million when compared to Q2 2015.

Q3 2015 versus Q3 2014

U.S. revenue in the third quarter of 2015 was down 62% compared to the third quarter of 2014. The job count decreased by 24% as low commodity prices reduced customer spending in all regions of the U.S. The most significant reductions occurred in the oil producing regions, including the Eagle Ford, Bakken, and Permian plays. Revenue per job decreased by 48% due to a significant decline in pricing, a change in geographic sales mix, and a decrease in fracturing revenue relative to total revenue. The impact of these factors was partially offset by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 109.6% from 91.1% and the gross loss increased to 32.8% compared to 0.1%, on a year-to-year comparison. Lower activity led to reduced operating leverage on our fixed cost structure, causing margins to decline. Lower year-over-year pricing also negatively impacted margins. General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.8 million mainly due to lower employee expenses combined with lower share based expenses.

Q3 2015 versus Q2 2015

On a sequential basis, U.S. revenue increased by 52% due to a higher level of activity. Job count increased 47% as utilization rates for our fracturing crews improved. Revenue per job increased slightly as a decrease in pricing was offset by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and an increase in fracturing jobs as a percentage of total jobs.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses decreased to 109.6% from 121.3% and the gross loss decreased to 32.8% from 56.0% due to increases in activity and revenue that improved our operating leverage. General and administrative expenses primarily decreased by $5.1 million due to a decrease in share based expenses.

Continuing Operations

Operations Review

Our International operations include financial results for operations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Norway. 

Activity levels in Norway and our Russian completion tools business was strong during the third quarter as our key customers remained committed to their work plans. Operating conditions continued to be challenging in Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Colombia, with all regions being negatively impacted by low commodity prices and weak customer activity. As a result, management has decided to suspend operations in Saudi Arabia and Colombia.

Q3 2015 versus Q3 2014

International revenue in the third quarter of 2015 decreased by 12% compared to the third quarter of 2014. The job count increased by 32% due to higher activity levels in Norway, partially offset by lower activity in Kazakhstan. Additionally, revenue per job was 33% lower as a result of a change in job mix. Jobs performed related to the completion tools business are typically lower revenue compared to fracturing jobs performed in other international regions.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 83.9% from 81.4% due to lower activity and pricing in Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Colombia. International operating margins increased from 10.3% to 12.3% due to job mix, as a higher proportion of completion tool jobs were performed in the current quarter, which typically have a higher operating margin. General and administrative costs decreased by $0.6 million due to lower share unit expenses and reduction of headcount.

Q3 2015 versus Q2 2015

International revenue decreased by 6% sequentially. The decrease is mainly due to lower level of activity in Norway, with jobs being rescheduled due to delays associated with customer drilling schedules combined with a job count decrease. The job count decreased by 14% largely due to a decrease in activity in Kazakhstan, lower activity in Norway due to rescheduling of customer drilling schedules, and  the suspension of Colombian operations.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 83.9% from 65.1% and gross profit decreased to 11.4% from 30.6% on a sequential basis. Q3 2015 margins were lower than Q2 2015, because of higher margin projects in Q2 2015, combined with higher cost of material due to foreign exchange losses in Q3 2015. This was partially offset by the release of staff in Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Colombia which resulted in cost savings during the third quarter of 2015. General and administrative costs decreased by $0.7 million due largely to the suspension of activities in Colombia and Saudi Arabia.

Discontinued Operations

The discontinued operations disclosure includes the results of regional operations in Algeria and Australia, which were suspended in the third quarter of 2015, and the disposition of the Russian pressure pumping operations.

Discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2015 include revenues from discontinued operations of $30.5 million compared to $82.1 million for the same period of 2014. Profit from discontinued operations including a gain on sale was $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

During the third quarter management committed to a plan to sell operating assets in Algeria and Australia, resulting in property and equipment being classified as held for sale. As at September 30, 2015, the net carrying value of these assets was $11.7 million.

Discontinued operations have not been included in the tables above. For information related to Trican's discontinued operations, please see the interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Q3 2015 versus Q3 2014

Corporate share-unit costs in the third quarter were $1.7 million lower on a year-over-year basis. Excluding charges for severance, professional fees related to the sale of the Russian business and changes in share-unit costs, corporate expenses in the third quarter of 2015 were $12.8 million lower compared to the third quarter of 2014. The decrease is due to cost control measures initiated in late 2014 and into 2015, which included compensation reductions and lay-offs. Adjusted operating loss excludes $9.6 million for severance and professional fees related to the sale of our Russian business.

Q3 2015 versus Q2 2015

Corporate share-unit costs were $3.9 million lower during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2015 due to the decrease in share price during the quarter. Excluding charges for severance, professional fees related to the sale of the Russian business and changes in share-unit costs, corporate expenses decreased sequentially by $7.5 million. The decrease is largely due to cost control measures initiated in late 2014 and into 2015, which included salary reductions and lay-offs. Adjusted operating loss excludes costs of $8.0 million incurred during the quarter for severance and professional fees related to the sale of our Russian business.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

During the period ended September 30 2015, the Company reviewed all of its cash generating units ("CGU") for indicators of impairment. As a result of low commodity prices combined with excess pressure pumping supply in the market, the Company performed impairment tests to assess the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill. The Company also evaluated the net realizable value of its inventory balances. The impairment charges include a $22.5 million for write-off of goodwill, $22.9 million for write-down of inventory and $116.2 million for write-off of property and equipment. The Company recorded a total asset impairment of $161.6 million during the period ended September 30, 2015 (2014 - nil).

OTHER EXPENSES AND INCOME

Finance costs for the third quarter of 2015 decreased by 11% compared to the same period in 2014. A reduction in average outstanding debt contributed the decrease in interest.

Depreciation and amortization expense during the quarter increased by 3% compared to the same period last year due to an increase in Canadian dollar depreciation expense on U.S. dollar denominated assets.

Foreign exchange gains of $13.5 million have been recorded in the third quarter of 2015, compared to gains of $4.3 million for the same period in 2014. This change is largely due to the net impact of fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Other income of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2015 relates to gains on disposal of assets.

Low commodity prices throughout 2015 have led to substantial declines in activity for the majority of our Canadian service lines. Average rig count in Canada has decreased 47% for 2015 compared to 2014, which compares to the 44% decline in our job count. Revenue per job was consistent as pricing declines were offset with an increase in fracturing job size and the number of fracturing jobs relative to total jobs.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 91.7% from 80.4% compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, the gross loss was 2.3% compared to gross profit of 13.9% in 2014. Operating and gross margins declined due largely to the 44% decrease in revenue that led to lower operational leverage of our fixed structure. This decline was partially offset by cost control initiatives that were implemented throughout the first half of 2015. General and administrative costs decreased by 55% mainly due to lower employee and share based expenses.

U.S. revenue, for the period ending September 30, 2015, decreased by 49% compared to the same period of 2014. Job count decreased by 34% as the U.S. rig count was down 43% over the nine months of 2015 relative to the same period in 2014. In response to low demand, we have reduced our U.S. employee base by 60% and maintained only eight of our sixteen U.S. fracturing crews active in response to the low demand.

Revenue per job decreased 22% mainly due to pricing and lower product revenue per job. Pricing is now down 30% relative to peak pricing levels at the end of 2014.

As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 108.7% from 93.1%. In addition, the gross loss increased to 29.6% compared to 2.8% of revenue. Lower pricing combined with decreased operating leverage on our fixed cost structure led to the decline in margins. These factors were partially offset by cost cutting initiatives implemented throughout the first half of 2015. General and administrative costs decreased by $6.8 million as cost reductions were partially offset by increased Canadian dollar costs due to a stronger U.S. dollar.

Continuing Operations

International revenue decreased by 8% during the period ending September 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Decreased year-over-year activity in Kazakhstan and the closure of operations in Colombia and Saudi Arabia also negatively impacted the number of jobs completed in the first nine months of 2015. These factors were partially offset by increased activity in our Norwegian completion tools business.

Materials and operating expenses increased to 86.1% of revenue compared to 84.8% of revenue in the same period of 2014. Weaker year-over-year margins in Kazakhstan were partially offset by substantial margin improvement in Norway. Closure costs in Saudi Arabia and Colombia also contributed to the decline in operating margins. General and administrative costs decreased by $2.7 million due largely to reduction of workforce in Colombia and Saudi Arabia due to the closure of these regions.

Gross profit decreased to 7.9% of revenue compared to 11.4%. The primary difference between operating income and gross profit is depreciation expense, which increased as a percentage of revenue for our International operations due to lower revenue. This led to the deterioration of the gross profit margin.

Discontinued Operations

The discontinued operations disclosure includes the results of regional operations in Algeria and Australia, suspended in the third quarter of 2015, and the disposition of the Russian pressure pumping operations.

The discontinued operations disclosure includes the results of regional operations in Algeria and Australia, suspended in the third quarter of 2015, and the disposition of the Russian pressure pumping operations.

Discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2015 include revenues from discontinued operations of $135.2 million compared to $238.3 million for the same period of 2014. Profit from discontinued operations including a gain on sale was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the third quarter management committed to a plan to sell operating assets in Algeria and Australia, resulting in property and equipment being classified as held for sale. As at September 30, 2015, the value of these assets was $11.7 million.

Discontinued operations have not been included in the tables above. For information related to Trican's discontinued operations, please see the interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Corporate share-unit costs for the period ending September 2015 were $7.8 million lower on a year-over-year basis. Excluding share-unit costs and severance and professional charges incurred in the first quarter of 2015, corporate expenses decreased by $24.7 million compared to the period ending September 2014. The decrease is due to cost control measures initiated in late 2014, which included salary reductions and lay-offs.

OTHER EXPENSES AND INCOME

For the period ended September 30, 2015, finance costs decreased by 7% compared to the same period in 2014 due to decreased debt balances.

Depreciation and amortization increased by 7% compared to the same period last year as a stronger U.S. dollar led to higher Canadian dollar depreciation charges on U.S. assets.

Foreign exchange gains of $38.0 million have been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to gains of $2.8 million for the same period in 2014. This change is due to the net impact of fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Other income for the first nine months of 2015 is $2.1 million compared to other income of $3.4 million for the same period of 2014. Other income is largely comprised of gains and losses on asset sales and interest income on cash balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

Funds used in operations increased to $16.3 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to funds provided by operations of $102.1 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in operating cash flow was largely due to weak North American results caused by low commodity prices.

At September 30, 2015, Trican had working capital of $254.5 million compared to $601.2 million at the end of 2014. The decrease is partially due to declines in North American revenue, which has led to a significant decrease in trade accounts receivable, offset partially by a decrease in trade payables. The decrease was also due to the proceeds from the sale of Trican's Russian pressure pumping business and the application of these proceeds towards long term debt. Cash flow generated by the decrease in working capital was $216.4 million during the first nine months of 2015 and was a significant source of cash flow for the Company during this period.

Investing Activities

During the third quarter, Trican closed the sale of its Russian pressure pumping business to RN Assets LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, for a purchase price of USD$150 million or approximately CAD$197.2 million, at the August 19, 2015 exchange rate of 0.7628, which is comprised of a purchase price of USD $140 million and an initial working capital adjustment of USD $10 million. Trican intends to apply the net proceeds from this sale to reduce its outstanding debt.

Trican and Rosneft are also continuing to negotiate the sale of Trican's Kazakhstan pressure pumping business. If the parties reach agreement on the terms of the sale of the Kazakhstan business, Trican expects that such sale would close in Q4 2015. There is no guarantee that the parties will be able to agree on terms regarding the sale of the Kazakhstan business or complete the transaction on the terms agreed. Furthermore, the potential transaction would be subject to approval by the Kazakhstan Antimonopoly Body, and final corporate approvals by Trican and the Purchaser.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2015 totaled $21.4 million, compared with $54.5 million for the same period in 2014. With the decline in commodity prices and North American demand, capital expenditures will be kept to a minimum until operating conditions improve. A substantial amount of equipment has been parked in both Canada and the U.S., which will reduce the amount of maintenance capital needed throughout the current downturn. In addition, capital expansion initiatives will not be considered during the current economic environment in order to preserve current liquidity levels. Based on existing capital budget commitments, we expect capital spending to be approximately $30 million during 2015. Trican regularly reviews its capital equipment requirements and will continue to follow its policy of adjusting the capital budget on a quarterly basis to reflect changing operating conditions and capital equipment needs.

Financing Activities

On September 25, 2015 Trican, its lenders and senior noteholders reached an agreement in principle amending the terms of the current credit agreements (the "Amending Agreement"). Trican, its lenders and the senior noteholders have negotiated the terms of the  formal documentation to implement the Amending Agreement, which documentation reflects  the same terms and conditions as the Amending Agreement, and expect to finalize the execution of this formal documentation on November 13, 2015. As at September 30, 2015, Trican is in compliance with the terms of the amended agreement.

The Amending Agreement amended Trican's financial covenants as follows:

• no financial covenants will be applicable for the third and fourth quarters of 2015;
• the maximum Debt to Capitalization test will no longer apply;
• a minimum quarterly EBITDA of $20 million for the first quarter of 2016;
• a minimum cumulative EBITDA of $50 million for the 2015 third quarter, 2015 fourth quarter and 2016 first quarter to be applied at the end of the first quarter of 2016;
• a minimum liquidity test to be performed on April 27, 2016 of $110 million after giving pro forma effect to the payment of the April 28, 2016 senior note maturities;
• the ratio of Senior Consolidated Debt to EBITDA shall not exceed 5.0x for the 2016 second quarter; 4.5x for the 2016 third quarter; 4.0x for the 2016 fourth quarter; 3.5x for the 2017 first quarter; and 3.0x for the 2017 second quarter and thereafter; and
• a minimum Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio shall not be less than 2.5x for the 2016 second quarter, 2.75x for the 2016 third quarter and 3.0x for the 2016 fourth quarter and thereafter.

Key terms under the Amending Agreement include:

• a reduction in the availability of the revolving credit facility ("RCF") from $575 million to $410 million;
• a 300 basis point increase to the interest rates on the senior notes and RCF during the covenant relief period;
• providing floating charge security over all of its North American assets to both lenders;
• a requirement to repay an additional $75 million of it senior notes and an additional $75 million of its RCF by October 28, 2016, otherwise, the interest rate on its senior notes and RCF will increase by a further 200 basis points;
• a subordinated note based on make-whole amounts was delivered to the senior noteholders; and
• no distributions will be made until after the second quarter of 2017 assuming certain deferred obligations are paid at that time and the ratio of Senior Consolidated Debt to EBITDA is less than or equal to 3.0x.

During the first quarter of 2015, a dividend payment of $22.4 million was made to shareholders. Given the weak economic outlook and the need to preserve liquidity, Trican's Board of Directors suspended the dividend to shareholders during the second quarter of 2015.

As at November 12, 2015 Trican had 148,918,046 common shares and 11,382,149 employee stock options outstanding.

During the first quarter of 2015, Trican received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to purchase its own common shares, for cancellation, in accordance with a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") that expires on March 12, 2016. During the first quarter of 2015, there were 187,674 common shares purchased through the NCIB utilizing an automatic share purchase plan, in an effort to offset the impact of exercised stock options during 2014.The cost of the common shares repurchased was funded by the proceeds of the exercised stock options during 2014. Trican has not repurchased any shares since the 2014 Year End Board meeting on February 25, 2015 and does not intend on repurchasing any additional shares under the current NCIB.

OUTLOOK

Canada

Canadian activity has increased from the lows experienced in April and May; however, it still remains depressed relative to prior year activity levels. Approximately 35% of our equipment fleet is expected to remain parked over the remainder of 2015 and into 2016 depending on oil and gas prices and industry activity levels. Management continues to be of the opinion that we have appropriately sized the Canadian operations to the current work scope, evidenced by our financial results in the third quarter. Our customer base has remained loyal and market share gains with active customers are expected to result in continued good utilization on our active equipment fleet during the fourth quarter and into 2016. Pricing appears marginally down early in the fourth quarter compared to the third, with a bottom resembling second quarter levels anticipated for December. Pricing is expected to remain largely consistent with current levels for the foreseeable future. Cost-optimization efforts will continue although management believes the bulk of our supplier cost savings have been realized. Market share gains and significant cost reductions seen in the third quarter make management cautiously optimistic that operating income margins can continue at these improved levels in the near term, although normal weather issues in the fourth quarter and the anticipation of an extended holiday slowdown will likely temper fourth quarter activity levels resulting in the fourth quarter results being below those experienced in the third quarter. As the price of oil remains volatile, management will continue to be vigilant in monitoring customer activity levels and profitability and will continue to quickly adjust as operating conditions change.  

United States

U.S. industry activity continues to be weak and we anticipate industry activity in the fourth quarter to be down relative to the third quarter. The largest activity declines continue to be in the Permian, Eagle Ford and Bakken plays. Activity in the Marcellus region continues to be higher than our other operating regions, but is still being impacted by lower demand and pricing. As a result of low pricing and lower than accepted utilization in our Permian and Eagle Ford operations, management decided early in the fourth quarter to further adjust the size of our operations by parking two more Texas-based crews rather than continue to operate at unsustainable margins. Five of our six remaining crews are committed into 2016 and four of the crews are committed through to 2017 at acceptable pricing levels with anticipated high utilization. Going forward we will be running three crews committed to customers in the Marcellus, two crews in Oklahoma, and we will have one spot market crew available in the Marcellus. Although industry conditions are weakening sequentially in the U.S. due to an extended holiday slowdown and, we anticipate that our results will improve in the fourth quarter as a result of cost savings from shutting down our Texas fracturing crews and our remaining crews running at high utilization in positive contribution contracts through October and November. We will see a slowing of activity in December and if our customers shut down their programs earlier than we anticipate, it may have an impact on our predicted fourth quarter profitability. Pricing is down approximately 30% since the peak pricing levels experienced at the end of 2014 and management is of the opinion that pricing has stabilized for our operations going forward.  

Cost reductions and sizing the business to current activity levels continues to be our primary focus. We have been successful in reducing the cost of key products by 15-25% to date and continue to work towards further reductions. Headcount has been reduced by 60% and we continue to evaluate and implement further cost improvements and efficiencies in an effort to generate consistent positive cash flow. Management is of the opinion that industry activity levels will not meaningfully increase in the near term. As such, continued vigilance on the U.S. operations' cost structure, keeping utilization high on our active equipment and quickly reacting to changes in customer work flow are critical to improving our profitability for this region. We are comfortable with our contract position entering 2016 and our customers' intent to keep utilization high on five of our six crews. We will look for opportunities to deploy additional equipment in the new year in our core areas to increase our leverage on our cost structure and improve operating results.

International

Notwithstanding the pending sale of our Kazakhstan business, our completion tools business in Norway and Russia has become our primary International operating area after the sale of our Russian pressure pumping business. Management is happy with the profitability and market share gains we have made in this region. While we will continue to focus on improving the profitability of our North American business during this downturn and strengthening it for an eventual turnaround, we believe we have substantial international operating experience and will continue to evaluate international opportunities that provide meaningful scale as they materialize in an effort to increase utilization on our substantial equipment fleet.

Covenant and Debt Agreements

The company has reached an agreement with its lenders on revised covenant terms and expect the documentation to be finalized on November 13, 2015. We have seen substantial improvement in our operating income in the second half of the year and believe we will further reduce our U.S. losses in the upcoming quarters. We also maintain our dedication to strategic initiatives to reduce our debt levels and we believe that we can be successful in de-leveraging our balance sheet. We are confident that, if we are successful in doing so, this, together with our improvements in operating income achieved during the second half of 2015 and our continued focus on cost control, will allow us to continue to meet our covenants throughout 2016.

On September 25, 2015, Trican, its lenders and senior noteholders reached an agreement in principle amending the terms of the current credit agreements (the "Amending Agreement"). Trican, its lenders and the senior noteholders have negotiated the terms of the formal documentation to implement the  Amending Agreement, which document reflects  the same terms and conditions as the Amending Agreement on November 13, 2015.

In addition, the financial covenants have been amended as follow:

• no financial covenants will be applicable for the third and fourth quarters of 2015;
• maximum Debt to Capitalization test will no longer apply;
• a minimum quarterly EBITDA of CAD$20 million for the first quarter of 2016;

NOTE 13 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company operates in Canada and the U.S. along with a number of international regions, which include Russia, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Norway. As of the third quarter of 2015, the profits and losses associated with Russia, Australia and Algeria have been classified as discontinued operations. Each geographic region has a General Manager who is responsible for the operation and strategy of his region's business. Personnel working within the particular geographic region report to the General Manager; the General Manager reports to the executive management team.  

The Company provides a comprehensive array of specialized products, equipment, services and technology to customers through three operating divisions:

• Canadian operations provide cementing, fracturing, coiled tubing, nitrogen, geological, acidizing, reservoir management, industrial cleaning and pipeline, and completion systems and downhole tool services, which are performed on new and existing oil and gas wells.
• U.S. operations provide cementing, fracturing, coiled tubing, nitrogen, acidizing and completion systems and downhole tool services, which are performed on new and existing oil and gas wells.
• International operations provide cementing, fracturing, coiled tubing, acidizing, nitrogen, and completion systems and downhole tool services, which are performed on new and existing oil and gas wells.

Information regarding the results of each geographic region is included below. Performance is measured based on revenue and gross profit as included in the internal management reports, which are reviewed by the Company's executive management team. Each region's gross profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is most relevant in evaluating regional results relative to other entities that operate within the industry. Transactions between the segments are recorded at fair value and have been eliminated upon consolidation.

• expectation that the formal documentation to implement the Amending Agreement for the Corporation's credit agreements will be finalized on November 13, 2015 on the same terms and conditions as the Amending Agreement;
• expectation that Trican will be able to reduce the Company's debt levels and successfully de-leverage the Company's balance sheet;
• expectation that if the Company is able to reduce debt levels and successfully de-leverage the Company's balance sheet, it will be able to meet the covenants under its revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes throughout 2016;
• expectation regarding Trican's ability to adjust Trican's active equipment fleet and cost structure in the U.S. and Canada depending on activity and pricing levels;
• expectation of good utilization of Trican's Canadian fleet during the fourth quarter and into 2016 due to a loyal customer base and market share gains;
• expectation regarding Trican's capital spending to be approxiamately $30 million during 2015 and the expectation that capital expenditures will be kept to a minimum until operating conditions improve;
• expectation that 35% of Trican's Canadian equipment fleet will remain parked over the remainder of 2015 and into 2016 depending on oil and gas prices and industry activity levels;
• expectation that Trican's fourth quarter operating income margin in the U.S. will meaningfully increase sequentially over third quarter due to significant cost savings and high utilization;

• expectation that Trican's remaining crews in the U.S. will continue to be at high utilization, that our customers will keep utilization high on five of six crews, and that profitability in the U.S. will improve and that Trican will reduce U.S. losses in upcoming quarters;
• expectation that industry activity in the U.S. market in the fourth quarter will be down relative to the third quarter and that industry activity levels will not meaningfully increase in the near term;

• expectation that operating income margins in Canada may continue at current improved levels in the near term;
• expectation that the price of oil will remain volatile;
• expectation that further cost improvements and efficiencies can be identified and implemented, and if implemented, may generate consistent positive cash flow;

Trican's actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied and therefore such forward-looking information and financial outlook should not be unduly relied upon. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified in this document, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: Trican's ability to successfully negotiate and enter into an agreement for the sale of its Kazakhstan pressure pumping business and complete such sale, substantially on the terms and within the timeframe described herein; Trican's ability to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business; Trican being successful in executing and closing the formal documentation to implement the Amending Agreement with its lenders, Trican being successful meeting its covenants with its lenders; industry activity levels, including its effect of reducing the Company's capital and maintenance expenditures; the completion of currently planned worked activities by our customers, the general stability of the economic and political environment; effect of market conditions on demand for the Company's products and services and pricing that can be obtained for those products and services; the ability to achieve planned cost reductions; the ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the ability to operate its business in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the performance and characteristics of various business segments; the effect of current plans; the timing and costs of capital expenditures; future oil and natural gas prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and the ability of the Company to successfully market its products and services.

Forward-looking information and financial outlook is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks and uncertainties include: failure to meet the agreed upon covenants with the Company's lenders; failure to complete the sale of the Company's Kazakhstan pressure pumping business on the terms described herein, or at all; fluctuating prices for crude oil and natural gas; changes in drilling activity; general global economic, political and business conditions; competitive and business conditions in the markets where the Company operates; weather conditions; regulatory changes; the successful exploitation and integration of technology; customer acceptance of technology; success in obtaining and defending issued patents; the potential development of competing technologies by market competitors; and availability of products, qualified personnel, manufacturing capacity and raw materials.
