Oil States Announces Adjusted First Quarter 2015 Earnings of $0.45 per Share


HOUSTON, April 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 of $19.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $2.1 million for severance and other downsizing initiatives, and a higher effective tax rate driven primarily by a $2.3 million deferred tax adjustment for certain non-deductible items. Excluding the first quarter 2015 significant charges and higher effective tax rate, net income would have been $23.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. These results compare to net income from continuing operations of $34.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2014. Results for the first quarter of 2014 included pre-tax charges of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for transaction costs primarily incurred in connection with the May 30, 2014 spin-off of the accommodations segment into a stand-alone, publicly traded corporation, Civeo Corporation or Civeo.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company generated revenues of $337.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA (A) of $68.9 million, which excluded $2.1 million of severance and other downsizing initiatives. These results compare to revenues of $405.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA (A) of $92.9 million, which excluded $1.4 million of transaction costs reported in the first quarter of 2014, representing year-over-year declines of 17% and 26%, respectively, primarily due to lower North American activity levels resulting from the significant decline in crude oil prices, the corresponding precipitous drop in the U.S. land drilling rig count and further declines due to certain customers who have elected to drill wells but not complete them.

Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "First quarter results for our business segments were negatively impacted by the precipitous drop in crude oil prices which have led to dramatic declines in North American land drilling and completion related activity. The activity declines have been further exacerbated by deferred well completions as our exploration and production customers strive to preserve cash flow in a weak commodity price environment, all of which are having a profoundly negative impact on pricing. In our offshore products segment, we achieved commendable results in light of the current environment. Bidding and quoting activity continued in our offshore products segment, albeit at a slower pace, and our first quarter book-to-bill ratio was a relatively strong 0.98x. Beginning in late 2014, and continuing through the current period, we have been proactively addressing our cost structure, controlling discretionary spending, negotiating price decreases with our vendors and maintaining strong liquidity levels to ensure Oil States remains well positioned to weather this downturn in the cycle and can be opportunistic when investment opportunities present themselves."

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from continuing operations for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The historical results of operations of the accommodations segment through its respective transaction closing date has been reported as discontinued operations for all periods reported herein.)

Well Site Services

Well site services generated revenues of $141.8 million and EBITDA of $36.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $193.0 million and $63.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2014. Segmental revenues and EBITDA decreased 27% and 42% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to a 5% year-over-year decrease in the number of completion services jobs performed and a 15% year-over-year decrease in revenue per completion service job as a result of lower activity levels in the U.S. shale basins, coupled with pricing pressure. Lower utilization in the land drilling business, which averaged 44% during the first quarter of 2015 compared with 81% in the first quarter of 2014, also negatively impacted the segmental results. The well site services segment EBITDA included $1.1 million of severance and other downsizing initiatives undertaken in response to the significant activity declines.

Offshore Products

Offshore products generated revenues and EBITDA of $195.6 million and $42.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 compared to revenues of $212.2 million and EBITDA of $43.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. Segmental revenues and EBITDA decreased 8% and 1% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to lower contributions from subsea and drilling product sales and decreased backlog coming into 2015, partially offset by increased service revenues. EBITDA margins improved to 21.8% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 20.3% realized in the first quarter of 2014. Bidding and quoting activity for the offshore products segment continued during the first quarter of 2015, albeit at a slower pace. Backlog in the offshore products segment at March 31, 2015 decreased 3% to $474 million from $490 million at December 31, 2014 due to delays in award timing and contract negotiations resulting from the significant decline in commodity prices beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014. Backlog totaled $578 million at March 31, 2014. One major project was booked during the first quarter of 2015, consisting of pipeline connectors for a subsea project offshore Brazil. The offshore products segment EBITDA included $1.0 million of severance costs primarily related to cost reduction initiatives made in response to industry activity declines.

Financial Condition

The Company invested $38.3 million in capital expenditures (Capex) during the first quarter of 2015, the majority of which was carryover from 2014. Capex spending primarily related to the addition of completion services equipment deployed to service the U.S. shale plays along with ongoing facility expansions in the offshore products segment.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired Montgomery Machine Company, Inc. (MMC) for $33.9 million, net of cash acquired. MMC combines machining and proprietary cladding technology and services to the manufacture of high-specification components for the offshore capital equipment industry on a global basis. The operations of MMC have been included in the Company's offshore products segment since the date of the acquisition.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased 1.83 million shares, or approximately 3.5% of its shares outstanding, under its authorized share repurchase program at an average price of $42.78 per share. Amounts remaining available under the current share repurchase authorization total $71.5 million which is scheduled to expire on September 1, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, there was $199.7 million outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. Total availability as of March 31, 2015 was $356.5 million (net of standby letters of credit totaling $43.8 million).

Income Taxes

The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 40.6% in the first quarter of 2015. This compares to an effective tax rate of 34.3% in the first quarter of 2014. The higher effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $2.3 million deferred tax adjustment for certain non-deductible items.

(A) The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA consist of net income from continuing operations plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and Adjusted 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 and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding its 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 and Adjusted 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 table above sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
