Oil States Announces Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings


HOUSTON, Feb. 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $77.9 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, which included $0.07 per diluted share of after-tax charges for transaction costs incurred and losses on debt extinguishment. These results compare to net income from continuing operations of $87.0 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2012.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported revenues of $2.7 billion, EBITDA of $792.3 million and net income from continuing operations of $314.9 million, or $5.63 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported revenues of $2.6 billion, EBITDA of $845.7 million and $401.5 million of net income from continuing operations, or $7.25 per diluted share.

Fourth quarter 2013 results included a pre-tax charge of $5.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share after-tax, associated with the following two items:

  • $4.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share after-tax, from a loss on debt extinguishment
  • $1.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share after-tax, from transaction costs incurred on the planned spin-off of the accommodations segment.

The Company generated revenues of $675.2 million and EBITDA of $204.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding the significant items listed above, fourth quarter EBITDA was $210.0 million (EBITDA(A) is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). These results compare to revenues of $687.0 million and EBITDA of $204.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA was up year-over-year primarily due to record quarterly EBITDA generated from our offshore products and completion services businesses, partially offset by weaker accommodations results due to lower contracted Canadian lodge rates, lower occupancy levels in our Australian villages and the unfavorable impact of exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Australian and Canadian dollars. Operating income excluding transaction costs totaled $134.2 million in the current quarter, down slightly from $138.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We reported strong operating results in our well site services and offshore products segments during the fourth quarter. The offshore products segment generated record quarterly EBITDA, increasing 29% year-over-year, with EBITDA margins averaging 22% during the fourth quarter. Bookings were at near record levels, and backlog exited the year totaling $580 million at December 31, 2013. In December, we completed the acquisition of Quality Connector Systems, LLC which will serve to provide our offshore products segment with additional opportunities to expand our portfolio of proprietary subsea pipeline connector products. Despite the 3% year-over-year decline in the U.S. rig count, job tickets in our completion services business increased 17% year-over-year and EBITDA improved 21% compared to the prior year quarter as the market continued to favor our high-end proprietary products."

Mrs. Taylor continued, "While down year-over-year, the accommodations segment did generate sequentially improved results as we entered the winter drilling season in Canada and began to book revenue from the recent opening of the Boggabri Village, located in New South Wales, Australia. Also on a favorable note, we recently announced the construction of McClelland Lake Lodge, located North of Fort McMurray in the Athabasca oil sands region of Alberta, Canada with initial capacity of 1,561 rooms expected to be deployed by the fourth quarter of this year. This lodge will initially support a new oil sands mining project in the region and is supported by a three-year contract. Going forward, contracted growth with the McClelland Lake Lodge will help partially offset the impact of reduced room commitments in Australia due to recent renegotiations with a customer."

Income Taxes

The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 30.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013 bringing the annualized effective tax rate for 2013 to 27.5%. This compares with an effective tax rate of 28.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The higher effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a slightly higher state effective tax rate and a greater proportion of domestic sourced income.

Financial Condition

The Company invested $101.9 million in capital expenditures in continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2013. Spending primarily related to the ongoing expansion of its accommodations business, the addition of incremental proprietary completion services equipment deployed to service the active U.S. shale plays and the purchase of land and ongoing facility expansions in the offshore products segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased $34.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5 1/8% Notes. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.1 million.

Also, during the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased $104.0 million, or 1,024,213 shares, of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program at an average price of $101.58 per share. Since year end 2013, the Company repurchased an additional $100.0 million, or 1,009,665 shares, of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program at an average price of $99.04 per share.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 to the results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012. On September 6, 2013, the Company sold its tubular services segment for $600 million in cash. The historical results of operations of the tubular services segment through the transaction closing date, along with the gain on the sale of the business, have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods reported herein. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the net loss from discontinued operations was $3.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.)

Accommodations

Accommodations generated revenues of $253.9 million and EBITDA of $103.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $277.4 million and $119.5 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2012. These results were negatively impacted by weakening Canadian and Australian currencies which reduced revenues by $16.8 million and EBITDA by $7.8 million. Excluding the year-over-year impact of exchange rates, revenues and EBITDA would have declined 2% and 7%, respectively, year-over-year. Lower contracted room rates in Canada also impacted results, but were partially offset by a 9% year-over-year increase in average available lodge and village rooms.

Our efforts in conjunction with the proposed spin-off of the accommodations segment are on-going. We expect to complete the spin-off in the second quarter of 2014, but the spin-off is subject to certain factors such as market conditions, an affirmative IRS ruling, the completion of a review of the Form 10 by the SEC, the execution of separation and intercompany agreements and final approval of our board of directors.

Well Site Services

Well site services generated revenues of $186.7 million and EBITDA of $65.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $172.4 million and $55.9 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Despite the 3% year-over-year decrease in U.S. drilling activity, results for this segment improved as U.S. completion activity has decoupled from drilling activity due to drilling efficiencies, extended laterals drilled, more zones completed and the use of multi-well pad drilling in the U.S. shale plays. This segment's results also benefited from contributions from the Tempress Technologies acquisition that closed in December 2012, partially offset by lower utilization within the drilling business, particularly in the Permian basin.

Offshore Products

Offshore products generated revenues and EBITDA of $234.7 million and $52.0 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $237.3 million and $40.4 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Revenues decreased 1% year-over-year while EBITDA set a quarterly record and increased 29% year-over-year primarily due to higher revenue from our fixed platform, subsea and elastomer product sales in addition to improved cost absorption at certain manufacturing locations. EBITDA margins increased to 22% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to 17% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The offshore products segment booked near record quarterly orders of $248 million. Major backlog additions during the fourth quarter included connector products destined for Australia and fixed platform products and deck equipment orders for the Chinese market. Backlog improved on a sequential basis and totaled $580 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $569 million reported at September 30, 2013 and $561 million reported at December 31, 2012.

(A) The term EBITDA consists of net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. The Company uses EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
