Team, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2016 Results

SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Team, Inc. (NYSE:TISI) today released full financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Team reported an adjusted net loss of $0.2 million ($0.01 loss per diluted share) for the current quarter versus adjusted net income of $5.3 million ($0.25 earnings per diluted share) for the prior year quarter. Revenues for the current quarter increased by 30% to $250.9 million compared to revenues of $192.4 million for the prior year quarter. Revenues for the current quarter include $70.3 million related primarily to the recent acquisitions of Qualspec Group and Furmanite. Excluding incremental revenues from acquisitions, current quarter revenues declined by 6% compared to the prior year quarter. (Adjusted earnings in the current quarter exclude certain non-routine items that are not indicative of Team’s ongoing operating activities of $6.2 million (net of tax), or $0.26 per diluted share, as detailed in the accompanying schedule).

“The weak results for the first quarter reflect continued soft market conditions; all business units were impacted by project deferrals and reduced plant turnaround activities versus the prior year quarter. Operating margins declined in the current quarter on reduced activity levels and lower average margin service mix as higher margin advanced and specialty services normally tied to large turnaround projects were lower in the current quarter. We anticipate continued market headwinds across all business units during the remainder of 2016 while our customers’ maintenance and inspection spending levels remain depressed due to generally weak energy sector conditions,” said Ted Owen, Team’s President and CEO. “As a result of the soft business environment, we are implementing $20 million of cost reduction initiatives in our legacy businesses that will be fully realized by 2017,” said Mr. Owen. “This is in addition to the merger related synergies we have previously identified of $20-25 million associated with the Furmanite acquisition.”

“Our focus in 2016 is to build the premier global industrial services company in our space. The integration of Furmanite and Qualspec and the implementation of a new ERP platform will provide a stronger, more competitively distinct foundation for our company as our end markets improve,” said Mr. Owen. “Looking beyond the current market headwinds and business integration activities, we remain very optimistic about the earnings and growth potential of our company--capitalizing on the combined strengths of the legacy Team, Qualspec and Furmanite businesses.”
