Oil States Announces Third Quarter 2018 Results


HOUSTON, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2018 of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, which included charges related to:

  • Legal fees incurred for patent defense of $3.5 million ($2.8 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share)
  • A reserve for prior years' Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") claim settlements of $2.6 million ($2.1 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share)

These results compare to a reported net loss for the third quarter of 2017 of $15.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, which included charges of $0.4 million ($0.3 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges and $1.0 million of additional tax expense ($0.02 per diluted share) due to the decision to carry back 2016 net operating losses against taxable income reported in 2014.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company generated revenues of $274.6 million and Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) of $27.6 million. These results compare to revenues of $164.0 million and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) of $9.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2017 (excluding $0.4 million of severance and downsizing charges).

For the first nine months of 2018, the Company reported revenues of $814.0 million and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of $100.1 million (excluding $2.6 million of transaction-related charges and $0.8 million of severance and downsizing charges).

The net loss for the first nine months of 2018 totaled $4.8 million which included charges related to:

  • Transaction-related charges of $2.6 million ($2.1 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share)
  • Severance charges of $0.8 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share)
  • Legal fees incurred for patent defense of $5.9 million ($4.7 million after-tax, or $0.08 per diluted share)
  • Reserves for prior years' FLSA claim settlements of $3.3 million ($2.6 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share)

For the first nine months of 2017, the Company reported revenues of $486.9 million and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of $25.0 million (excluding $2.0 million of severance and downsizing charges). The net loss for the first nine months of 2017 totaled $47.0 million and included $2.0 million ($1.5 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges.

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, commented, "Our third quarter results were negatively impacted by a number of items, including legal fees incurred for patent defense in the Downhole Technologies segment and prior years’ FLSA claim settlements in our Well Site Services segment. In addition, our results were impacted by sequentially lower revenues and under-absorption of manufacturing facility costs primarily in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment due to revenue slippage and the delay of certain project awards, while our Well Site Services segment incurred higher than expected repair and maintenance, and equipment rental expenses. Despite these items, on a year-over-year basis, our third quarter revenues were up 67% and our quarterly EBITDA was up 213%. These year-over-year improvements were due to contributions from our two strategic acquisitions that we completed in the first quarter of this year, coupled with improved land completions activity in the key shale play regions in the U.S."

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
(See Segment Data tables for year-over-year comparisons)

Well Site Services
Well Site Services generated revenues of $128.6 million, Segment EBITDA (Note B) of $15.5 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 12% in the third quarter of 2018. This compared to revenues of $77.2 million, Segment EBITDA  of $7.1 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 9% in the third quarter of 2017. The 67% revenue increase was due to a 71% year-over-year increase in the number of Completion Services jobs performed, coupled with a 7% year-over-year increase in revenue per Completion Services job. Improved results were driven by significantly increased completion-related activity levels in the United States, and a full quarters' revenue contribution generated by Falcon Flowback Services, LLC (“Falcon”), which was acquired on February 28, 2018.  Segment results for the current quarter included $2.6 million of prior years' FLSA claim settlements.

Downhole Technologies (acquisition of GEODynamics, Inc. closed on January 12, 2018)
In the third quarter of 2018, Downhole Technologies generated revenues of $56.6 million, Segment EBITDA of $11.1 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 20%. The segment results were negatively impacted by $3.5 million of patent defense costs incurred in the third quarter of 2018. No results for GEODynamics were included in the third quarter of 2017 given our acquisition of the business in January 2018.

Offshore/Manufactured Products
Offshore/Manufactured Products generated revenues and Segment EBITDA of $89.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to revenues of $86.9 million and Segment EBITDA of $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. Revenues increased 3% while Segment EBITDA decreased 9% year-over-year. Other product and service revenues increased 25% year-over-year, offset partially by lower short-cycle product sales (elastomer and valve products), which decreased 10% year-over-year due to lower customer demand, likely due to stocking cycles. Segment EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2018 was 14% compared to 16% in the third quarter of 2017.

Backlog increased 6% sequentially to total $175 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $165 million at June 30, 2018 and $198 million at September 30, 2017. The third quarter book-to-bill ratio was 1.1x.

Income Taxes
The Company recognized an effective tax rate benefit of 48.8% in the third quarter of 2018 which compared to an effective tax rate benefit of 21.1% in the third quarter of 2017. The higher effective tax rate benefit in the third quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to a $5.8 million discrete tax benefit related to recent U.S. tax reform guidance allowing the carry back of U.S. net operating losses incurred in 2017 against taxable income reported in 2015.

Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2018, $160.6 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility along with an additional $23.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, while cash totaled $36.3 million. The Company had access to $149.8 million of revolving credit facility availability as of September 30, 2018.
