Civeo Reports First Quarter 2016 Results

HOUSTON, April 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 as well as subsequent operational and financial updates.

Highlights include:

Delivered revenues of $95 million -- at the high end of management’s guidance
Generated $8.1 million in free cash flow through ongoing cost containment and made $11 million of net debt repayments
As previously announced, amended revolving bank credit facility to increase leverage ratios

“Energy markets have continued to soften in 2016, and our first quarter results reflect lower activity levels in both Canada and the U.S. and continued weakness in the Australian mining sector. Despite the challenging conditions, we continued to manage costs aggressively, generate positive free cash flow and tightly managed our liquidity,” said Bradley J. Dodson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a result, during the first quarter of 2016, we delivered revenues in the upper end of our guidance and Adjusted EBITDA in line with our expectations. We also generated more than $8 million of free cash flow.

“We are actively pursuing new business opportunities in Western Canada, both in the oil sands region of Alberta and longer-term LNG-related opportunities in British Columbia. We are also continuing to drive additional operating efficiencies and properly align the size of our business with market demand. In the U.S. Bakken Shale region, we further reduced capacity and operating expenses to reduce costs later this year.

“As we look across our global portfolio, our operational performance and outlook for the balance of 2016 is largely consistent with our prior guidance. The one exception is our U.S. segment, where market conditions continue to deteriorate with U.S. drilling activity. We believe that we are well-positioned to manage through a prolonged cyclical downturn, with a strong competitive position and an improving financial foundation. We will continue to pursue our current three-pronged strategy to drive free cash flow, reduce leverage and capture organic growth opportunities,” Mr. Dodson said.

FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company generated revenues of $95.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million. Reported net loss was $26.8 million, or a loss of $0.25 per share, which included the impact of $8.4 million of pre-tax charges, or $0.05 per share after-tax, related to the impairment of our assets in the U.S. Bakken Shale region, and a $1.0 million pre-tax expense, or $0.01 per share, related to our redomiciliation to Canada in 2015. Excluding these charges, adjusted net loss was $20.7 million, or a loss of $0.19 per share.

(EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges and certain other costs. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales. Please see a reconciliation to GAAP measures at the end of this news release.)

By comparison, in the first quarter of 2015, the Company generated revenues of $171.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $53.0 million. Net loss for the prior-year quarter included a $3.8 million pre-tax charge, or $0.02 per share, related to impairment of certain fixed assets and a $1.2 million pre-tax expense, or $0.01 per share, in connection with the Company’s migration to Canada.

The year-over-year decline in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower occupancy levels caused by decreased customer activity in both the Canadian oil sands and Australian mining industries. Lower revenue was also compounded by the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar during the first quarter, which appreciated 10% against the Canadian dollar and 8% against the Australian dollar.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2015. The results discussed below exclude the fixed asset impairment expense and migration charges noted above.)

Canada

The Canadian segment generated revenues of $65.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to revenues of $116.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $37.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Results included the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar when compared to the first quarter of 2015, which reduced revenues by $7.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $1.5 million. Excluding the year-over-year impact of exchange rate changes, revenues would have decreased $44.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA would have decreased $21.8 million.

On a constant currency basis, lodge revenues declined 31% due to reduced occupancy and lower room rates. These items were partially offset by incremental contributions from the ramping up of the Company’s Mariana Lake Lodge in the third quarter and the Sitka Lodge in fourth quarter of 2015.

Australia

The Australian segment generated revenues of $25.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to revenues of $41.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $20.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. Results were impacted by a weaker Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar when compared to the first quarter of 2015, which decreased revenues by $2.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $0.9 million. Excluding the year-over-year impact of exchange rate changes, revenues would have decreased $14.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA would have decreased $9.0 million. On a constant currency basis, segment revenues declined 34% due to lower occupancy related to the continuing customer activity slowdown in the Australian mining industry, primarily in the Bowen Basin.

U.S.

The U.S. segment generated revenues of $4.0 million and negative Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to revenues of $12.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Results reflected lower U.S. drilling activity in the Bakken, Rockies and Texas markets along with decreased sales from Civeo’s offshore business.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $4.6 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 14.6% in the first quarter of 2016. By comparison, during the first quarter 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1.2 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 83.4%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had total available liquidity of approximately $69 million, comprising $66 million available under its amended credit facility and $3.0 million of cash on hand. While the Company made net repayments of debt totaling $11.0 million, total debt, exclusive of debt issuance costs, increased to $415.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $401.6 million at the end of 2015 due to the impact of the strengthening Canadian dollar at the end of the quarter.

As previously reported in the 2015 fourth quarter earnings release, Civeo completed an amendment to its revolving bank credit facility in February 2016 that provided additional flexibility to manage through the current cyclical downturn in oil and mining activity. Under the amended credit facility, Civeo’s leverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA/debt) may reach a maximum of 5.5x in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 before decreasing by 25 basis points every six months thereafter to 4.75x by the first quarter of 2018. In conjunction with this amendment, Civeo repaid $25 million of its U.S. Term Loan and reduced its Canadian revolver commitments by $25 million, thereby reducing total borrowing capacity going forward to $700 million from $750 million.

Capital expenditures totaled $4.8 million in the first quarter compared to $10.7 million spent in the same period last year.

SECOND QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE

For the second quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenues of $97 million to $101 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million to $20 million. For the full year of 2016, the Company continues to expect revenues of $385 million to $415 million and EBITDA of $72 million to $82 million.

(1) The term EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges and certain other costs such as those incurred associated with the Company's redomiciliation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures 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 supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted 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 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 following table 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 (in thousands) (unaudited):

(a) Relates to costs incurred associated with the Company's redomiciliation to Canada. The $1.0 million in 2016 costs ($0.7 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively) and $1.2 million in 2015 costs ($0.8 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively), which are primarily corporate in nature, are included in Selling, general and administrative costs on the statements of operations.

(b) Relates to the first quarter 2015 decision to close a manufacturing facility in the United States. As a result, the related assets were written down to their estimated sales proceeds, less costs to sell. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $3.8 million ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share), of which $1.1 million is included in cost of sales and services and $2.7 million is included in Impairment expense on the statements of operations.

(c) Relates to the first quarter 2016 impairment of assets in the United States. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $8.4 million ($5.5 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the statements of operations.

(2) The term Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales. Free Cash Flow 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 cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included Free Cash Flow as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the cash flow generating ability of its business relative to its capital expenditure and debt service obligations. The Company uses Free Cash Flow to compare and to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate its business. It is also used as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its free cash flow plan.
