Oil States Announces First Quarter 2014 Earnings


HOUSTON, May 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $71.3 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, which included $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share after-tax, from transaction costs incurred in conjunction with the planned spin-off of the accommodations segment. These results compare to net income from continuing operations of $93.2 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2013, which included a pre-tax gain of $4.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share after-tax, related to the reversal of an estimated earnout liability associated with an acquisition.

The Company generated revenues of $658.0 million and EBITDA of $185.4 million during the first quarter of 2014 (EBITDA(A) is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). These results compare to revenues of $675.5 million and EBITDA of $212.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2013, which included the pre-tax gain related to the liability reversal mentioned above. Revenues and EBITDA were down year-over-year primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments between the U.S. dollar and the Australian (8% decline) and Canadian (13% decline) dollars on the accommodations results, lower occupancy levels in both the Australian villages and Canadian lodges, and lower contracted Canadian lodge rates. These results were partially offset by strong quarterly results generated from our offshore products and well site services segments.

Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Despite the harsh winter weather experienced across much of the U.S. in the first quarter, our completion services business recovered late in the quarter and generated year-over-year and sequential growth in revenues. Demand for our proprietary services offerings in the completion services business continues to be very robust, with the number and complexity of unconventional wells continuing to grow. In our offshore products segment, we realized a book-to-bill ratio slightly above one-time and maintain a positive outlook for this segment given strong bidding and quoting activity for our floating production facility and subsea products. While our accommodations results were down year-over-year, the declines were largely expected."

Mrs. Taylor continued, "We remain on track to complete the spin-off of our accommodations segment, which was recently named Civeo Corporation, by the end of the second quarter of 2014. To that end, we expect to secure new financing commitments for both Oil States and Civeo shortly, with the new financings scheduled to take effect in connection with the spin-off. We recently filed a third amendment to the Form 10 with the SEC providing additional disclosures for Civeo."

Income Taxes

The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 27.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 26.5% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior year was largely the result of higher domestic earnings as a percentage of total earnings and an increase in the state income effective tax rate. Our domestic earnings are taxed at a higher rate than our foreign earnings. The effective tax rates are lower than U.S. statutory rates because of lower foreign income tax rates.

Financial Condition

The Company invested $103.4 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2014. Spending primarily related to the ongoing expansion of the Canadian accommodations business, the addition of incremental proprietary completion services equipment deployed to service the active U.S. shale plays and ongoing facility expansions in the offshore products segment. 

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $133.6 million, or 1,368,086 shares, of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program at an average price of $97.69 per share. The Company has $235.2 million remaining under its current authorization which is scheduled to expire on September 1, 2014.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2014 to the results from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013. 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 have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods reported herein.)

Accommodations

The accommodations segment generated revenues of $252.7 million and EBITDA of $95.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $296.7 million and $136.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2013. Results for the first quarter of 2013 included $4.0 million of EBITDA related to the reversal of an estimated earnout liability associated with contingent acquisition consideration. Our first quarter 2014 results were negatively impacted by weakening Canadian and Australian currencies relative to the U.S. dollar which reduced revenues by $25.8 million and EBITDA by $10.7 million. Excluding the year-over-year impact of exchange rates, revenues and EBITDA would have declined 6% and 22%, respectively. RevPAR decreased 21% year-over-year to $94 in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $119 in the first quarter of 2013. The RevPAR decrease was attributable to declining foreign exchange rates, lower occupancy levels for the Australian villages and lower contracted room rates in Canada. These declines were partially offset by a 6% year-over-year increase in average available lodge and village rooms. EBITDA was also negatively impacted in the first quarter by higher propane heating costs in Canada due to winter weather severity.

Our efforts in conjunction with the proposed spin-off of the accommodations segment (now known as Civeo) are on-going. We continue to expect to complete the spin-off by the end of the second quarter of 2014, but the spin-off remains subject to certain factors such as market conditions and the completion of a review of the amended Form 10 by the SEC.

Well Site Services

Well site services generated revenues of $193.1 million and EBITDA of $63.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $177.5 million and $54.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2013. Revenues and EBITDA increased 9% and 17% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to a 3% year-over-year increase for both the number of completion services job tickets and revenue per ticket, along with increased rig utilization in the land drilling business, averaging 81% for the first quarter of 2014 compared with 72% for the first quarter of 2013. Rig utilization effectively reached 100% as of March 31, 2014.

Offshore Products

Offshore products generated revenues and EBITDA of $212.2 million and $43.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $201.3 million and $35.8 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2013. Revenues and EBITDA increased 5% and 21% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to higher revenue from subsea product sales. This segment's results also benefited from contributions from the Quality Connector Systems acquisition that closed in December 2013. EBITDA margins increased to 20% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 18% in the first quarter of 2013.    Backlog was essentially flat sequentially and totaled $578 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $580 million reported at December 31, 2013 and $564 million reported at March 31, 2013. Backlog additions during the first quarter included connector products destined for Norway, the Mediterranean, and the Gulf of Mexico along with orders for fixed platform and drilling products worldwide.

(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.
