Global Geophysical Reports Second Quarter Results


HOUSTON, July 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Geophysical Services, Inc. (NYSE:GGS) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Revenues increased 14% to $97.4 million driven by growth in Proprietary Services activities compared to $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2011.
  • International revenues represented 56% of the company's revenues for the quarter, up from 50% in the second quarter of 2011.
  • EPS of $0.07 per share for Q2 2012 compared to $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2011.
  • Proprietary Services gross margin was 20.3% in the second quarter, compared with 12.4% in the second quarter of 2011. Proprietary Services revenues represented 60% of the quarter's revenues.
  • Multi-client late sales revenues were $10.6 million during the second quarter of 2012, compared to $7.2 million during the second quarter of 2011. Year to date late sales are 47% above the comparable period in 2011.
  • Global has transitioned 55% of its land recording instrumentation capacity to its proprietary AUTOSEIS® (1) HDR nodal system.
  • The company was awarded and completed its first passive microseismic monitoring program and continues to be awarded a number of programs over which to apply its patented Tomographic Fracture Imaging TM (TFI) techniques.
  • Bidding activity remains robust, particularly in the Western Hemisphere. Second quarter bid volume was nearly double the level for the first quarter. Backlog at June 30, 2012 was $174 million.
  • Global's Eastern Hemisphere assets, focused in Iraq, are contracted for the duration of 2012. The company is evaluating opportunities to increase crew count in the area to support 2013 activities.

Richard Degner, President and CEO, commented:

"The company experienced mixed results in the second quarter. International activities and Proprietary Services increased in their relative contributions to the company's performance. Although experiencing strong year-over-year increases in revenues, margins and EPS, our top-line growth rate for the quarter was tempered by start-up and permit delays in a few data acquisition programs. We expect those issues to be normalized in the second half and facilitate margin stability for data acquisition services.

Bid activity volumes remain robust, including within the North American market. We are expecting to see the flow-through of increased bid-volumes into the order book during the second half. A subset of those opportunities is also expected to be realized in book and turn revenues during the third and fourth quarters.

Data Library programs remain within the company's objective of achieving 100% or more in cash investment pre-funding. Facilitating this objective is the technical differentiation of Global's multi-client offering. Integrating Autoseis-enabled program design, passive microseismic monitoring and predictive interpretation services is allowing the company to define the road map for next generation library assets.

During the quarter, Global commenced the expansion of its library footprint to international markets. Using proprietary Autoseis technology and Vibroseis sources, the company has commenced its first Brazilian on-shore multi-client survey, in line with target financial measures. We expect to see expansion of this opportunity over the coming quarters.

AUTOSEIS® HDR nodal systems are now the company's primary recording platform. We expect nearly two-thirds of our instrumentation portfolio to be nodal during the second half of this year. We continue to focus on sales of legacy assets to fund the remainder of the platform transition. Having reached our target portfolio composition, the company is evaluating alternative channels for driving value from our Autoseis business. These include facilitating their access by third parties. 

Global remains well positioned with its asset base and services mix to take advantage of a broad array of worldwide geoscience opportunities."

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release that are not historical statements, including statements regarding future financial performance, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this earnings release that address activities, events or developments that Global Geophysical expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements about business outlook for the year, backlog and bid activity, business strategy, and related financial performance and statements with respect to future events. Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management's experience and perception of historical trends, industry conditions, market position, future operations, profitability, liquidity, backlog, capital resources and other information currently available to management and believed to be appropriate.

Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, disruptions in the global economy, dependence upon energy industry spending, delays, reductions or cancellations of service contracts, high fixed costs of operations, weather interruptions, inability to obtain land access rights of way, industry competition, limited number of customers, credit risk related to our customers, asset impairments, the availability of capital resources, and operational disruptions. Global Geophysical Services Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss some of the important risk factors identified that may affect Global's business, results of operations, and financial condition. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategies and liquidity. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will be correct. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Backlog estimates are based on a number of assumptions and estimates including assumptions related to foreign exchange rates, proportionate performance of contracts and our valuation of assets, such as seismic data, to be received by us as payment under certain agreements. The realization of our backlog estimates are further affected by our performance under term rate contracts, as the early or late completion of a project under term rate contracts will generally result in decreased or increased, as the case may be, revenues derived from these projects. Contracts for services are occasionally modified by mutual consent and may be cancelable by the client under certain circumstances. Consequently, backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of actual operating results for any future period. More information can be found set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this press release to "Global Geophysical Services," "Global Geophysical," "Global," "GGS," the "Company," "we," "us," "our," or "ours" refer to Global Geophysical Services, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this measure is widely used by investors in the energy industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon, among other factors, accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. The Company further believes EBITDA helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure and asset base from the Company's operating structure. EBITDA is also used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company's management in presentations to our board of directors, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting, and as a component for setting incentive compensation.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations to using EBITDA as an analytical tool include:

  • EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;
  • EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
