HOUSTON, Feb. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 of $175.6 million, or $2.95 per share. The reported fourth quarter 2019 results included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million ($165.0 million after-tax, or $2.78 per share) and severance and downsizing charges totaling $0.5 million ($0.4 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share). During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company generated revenues of $238.4 million and Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) of $19.7 million.

Fourth quarter 2019 highlights included:

• Generated $21.5 million in cash flow from operations
  
  
• Repaid $13.1 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility
  
  
• Repurchased $6.8 million in principal amount of the convertible senior notes at a 13% discount to par value
  
  
• Total debt to capitalization of 16.9%
  
  
• Recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million

These results compare to a reported net loss for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $14.3 million, or $0.24 per share, on revenues of $274.1 million and Consolidated EBITDA of $24.1 million. The reported fourth quarter 2018 results included legal fees incurred for patent defense of $2.4 million ($1.9 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share), transaction-related expenses of $0.7 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share) and severance and downsizing charges of $0.8 million ($0.7 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share).

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, stated, "Our fourth quarter results were consistent with our revised guidance issued in January and were reflective of the significant decline in U.S. land-based completion activity during the fourth quarter. Our Completion Services business was particularly affected in our Northeast and Mid-Continent regions of operations, where the corresponding average sequential rig counts were down 24% and 19%, respectively. Revenues in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment benefited from increased project-driven product revenues converting from backlog; however, demand for our short-cycle products was down sequentially as activity declined and customers de-stocked existing inventories. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment totaled $280 million at December 31, 2019, and our book-to-bill ratios for the fourth quarter and full-year 2019 were 0.9x and 1.3x, respectively. Our Downhole Technologies segment was also negatively impacted by lower U.S. land completion activities. Despite the challenging market conditions we faced during the quarter, our business model and capital structure afforded us the ability to generate strong free cash flow, which was used to further reduce our debt outstanding. We remain focused on providing value-added products and services to meet customer demands while adjusting our capital investment plans and cost structure to align with the current market environment."

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $231.8 million, or $3.90 per share, revenues of $1.0 billion and Consolidated EBITDA of $98.9 million. The full year 2019 results included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million ($165.0 million after-tax, or $2.78 per share), a non-cash fixed asset impairment charge of $33.7 million ($26.6 million after-tax, or $0.45 per share), and severance and downsizing charges of $3.5 million ($2.8 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share).

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(See Segment Data Tables)

Offshore/Manufactured Products
The Offshore/Manufactured Products segment generated revenues and Segment EBITDA (Note B) of $108.2 million and $16.4 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to revenues of $104.8 million and Segment EBITDA of $16.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Revenues increased 3% sequentially due primarily to an increase in project-driven product sales, partially offset by a reduction in sales of our shorter-cycle products (elastomer and valve products) as customers reduced their existing inventory levels. Segment EBITDA margin (defined as Segment EBITDA divided by segment revenues) was 15% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to a Segment EBITDA margin of 16% realized in the third quarter of 2019. The fourth quarter 2019 Segment EBITDA was negatively impacted by a $1.7 million bad debt provision on a prior-year receivable from a customer claiming bankruptcy protection. Excluding the $1.7 million provision for bad debt, the Segment EBITDA margin would have been 17%.

The book-to-bill ratio for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 0.9x and backlog at December 31, 2019 totaled $280 million. This compared to a backlog of $293 million at September 30, 2019 and $179 million reported at December 31, 2018.

Well Site Services
The Well Site Services segment generated revenues of $91.7 million and Segment EBITDA of $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to revenues and Segment EBITDA of $116.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. The sequential revenue decline was concentrated in the Northeast and Mid-Continent regions of operation due to lower U.S. land completion activity in the fourth quarter and was also impacted by the reduction in scope of the Drilling Services business, which decreased from 34 rigs to 9 rigs. Segment EBITDA margins averaged 10% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 17% in the third quarter of 2019.

Downhole Technologies
The Downhole Technologies segment generated revenues of $38.4 million and Segment EBITDA of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to revenues and Segment EBITDA of $42.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. Segment EBITDA margin was 9% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 14% in the third quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter results were sequentially lower due to the decline in U.S. land completion activity and under-absorbed manufacturing facility costs. During the fourth quarter, the segment recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million.

Interest Expense, Net
The Company reported net interest expense of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Included in net interest expense was $2.0 million of non-cash amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs. For 2019, net interest expense totaled $17.6 million, of which $7.9 million was non-cash amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs.

Income Taxes
The Company recognized an effective tax rate benefit of 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019 bringing the overall annual effective tax rate to a benefit of 3.7% for 2019.

1. The term Consolidated EBITDA consists of net loss plus net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and adjustments for certain other items such as non-cash asset impairment charges. Consolidated EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements, reinvestment or other discretionary uses and is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net loss or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. The Company has included Consolidated EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Consolidated 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 Consolidated EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of the Company and 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 Consolidated EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
