Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
FTS International, Inc. (the
Company
) today announced that it has restructured and amended its largest sand supply contract. This amendment will reduce the total remaining commitments through 2024 by over $160 million but resulted in a supply commitment charge of $55 million recorded in the first quarter of 2019.
The Company incurs supply commitment charges when its purchases of sand from certain suppliers are less than the minimum purchase commitments in its supply contracts. The Company entered into this contract in 2013 in connection with selling its sand mines, which was at a time when the Companys then current and expected needs for sand were significantly higher than they are today. As the Companys sand needs have declined over the years due to industry cycles or due to its customers choosing to procure their own sand, the Company and its supplier have continuously worked together to accommodate changing market conditions by amending the contract.
In May 2019, the Company and its supplier agreed to significantly restructure this supply contract, which will reduce the annual commitments from $47.9 million per year to $21 million per year over the remaining life of the agreement through 2024. The first quarter 2019 charge represents the estimated loss through the end of the contract. The Company will not incur additional charges under this contract if it continues to purchase at least 1 million tons per year. A portion of this charge could be reversed if the Company purchases more than 1 million tons of sand in a year. The Company expects to pay the $55 million in equal annual installments over the remainder of the contract.
The foregoing information is intended to be furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, Regulation FD Disclosure. This information shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act
), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Companys estimated potential loss or gain relating to the supply contract, the expected timing of the Companys payments relating to the supply contract, the amounts the Company could owe under its supply contract and other statements identified by words such as expected, estimated, would, could, will, and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are based on FTS Internationals current expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, FTS Internationals actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the operations of FTS International; results of litigation, arbitration, settlements and investigations; the final terms of new and renegotiated supply and customer contracts; actions by third parties, including governmental agencies; volatility in customer spending and in oil and natural gas prices, which could adversely affect demand for FTS Internationals services and their associated effect on rates, utilization, margins and planned capital expenditures; global economic conditions; excess availability of pressure pumping equipment, including as a result of low commodity prices, reactivation or construction; liabilities from operations; weather; decline in, and ability to realize, backlog; equipment specialization and new technologies; shortages, delays in delivery and interruptions of supply of equipment and materials; ability to hire and retain personnel; loss of, or reduction in business with, key customers; difficulty with growth and in integrating acquisitions; product liability; political, economic and social instability risk; ability to effectively identify and enter new markets; cybersecurity risk; dependence on our subsidiaries to meet our long-term debt obligations; variable rate indebtedness risk; anti-takeover measures in our charter documents; and other risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statement made in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. FTS International undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in FTS Internationals filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risk factors and other factors noted in FTS Internationals filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause FTS Internationals actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
