Infrastructure results are improving and we are encouraged by our new bidding opportunities. Working with our new infrastructure management team, we are cutting costs, streamlining operations and improving our operating margins. Conversely, our oilfield business remains under fundamental pressure from the volatility in oil prices. The unprecedented volatility in oil prices has been exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in global oil demand destruction and economic decline. Our oilfield activity has been, and will likely continue to be, challenged by significantly reduced levels of capital expenditures by our customers. As a result, we have temporarily idled several of our oilfield services businesses and expect lower pricing and utilization in those that remain in operation.”Infrastructure ServicesMammoth’s infrastructure services division contributed revenue of $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease from $26.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and from $108.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.As of March 31, 2020, Mammoth had a total of approximately 130 transmission and distribution crews operating in the continental United States.Pressure Pumping ServicesMammoth’s pressure pumping services division contributed revenue (inclusive of inter-segment revenue) of $43.6 million on 1,482 stages for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase from $25.0 million on 989 stages for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and a decrease from $92.1 million on 1,889 stages for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Mammoth defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense, impairment of goodwill, impairment of other long-lived assets, stock based compensation, interest expense, net, other (income) expense, net (which is comprised of the (gain) or loss on disposal of long-lived assets) and provision (benefit) for income taxes, further adjusted to add back interest on trade accounts receivable. The Company excludes the items listed above from net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the energy service 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 (loss) income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of Mammoth’s operating performance or liquidity. 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. Mammoth’s computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure its ability to meet debt service requirements.The following tables provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company’s segments (in thousands):
Consolidated
Infrastructure Services
Pressure Pumping Services
Natural Sand Proppant Services
Drilling Services
Other Services^(a)a.     Includes results for Mammoth’s coil tubing, pressure control, flowback, cementing, acidizing, equipment rentals, crude oil hauling, full service transportation and remote accommodations, oilfield equipment manufacturing and infrastructure engineering and design services and corporate related activities. The Company’s corporate related activities do not generate revenue.Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per ShareAdjusted net (loss) income and adjusted basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. Management believes these measures provide meaningful information about the Company’s performance by excluding certain non-cash charges, such as impairment of goodwill and impairment of other long-lived assets, that may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results. Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted (loss) earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted (loss) earnings per share to the GAAP financial measures of net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for the periods specified.
