HOUSTON, Oct. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2019 of $31.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, on revenues of $263.7 million and Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) of $31.3 million. The reported third quarter 2019 results included a non-cash fixed asset impairment charge for the Drilling Services business of $33.7 million ($26.6 million after-tax, or $0.45 per diluted share) and severance and downsizing charges totaling $0.7 million ($0.5 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share).

These results compare to reported net loss for the third quarter of 2018 of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, on revenues of $274.6 million and Consolidated EBITDA of $27.6 million. The reported third quarter 2018 results included legal fees incurred for patent defense of $3.5 million ($2.8 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) and 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).

Third quarter 2019 highlights included:

• Cash flow from operations totaling $49.9 million
  
  
• Revolving credit facility net repayments totaling $34.2 million
  
  
• Offshore/Manufactured Products backlog increase of 3.7%, with a 1.2x book-to-bill ratio for the quarter
  
  
• Drilling Services non-cash fixed asset impairment charge of $33.7 million

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, stated, "Our third quarter revenues were largely in-line with our previous guidance, but Consolidated EBITDA outperformed the mid-point of our estimates supported by sequential improvements in Gulf of Mexico and international Completion Services activity, along with increased sales of our project-driven products and other products and services in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. Our consolidated revenue was flat sequentially, but EBITDA grew 18% over the period, yielding very strong incrementals. We received one notable project award above $10 million during the quarter, our fourth such significant award won so far this year, leading to a 3.7% increase in backlog and a 1.2x book-to-bill ratio for the quarter, bringing us to a 1.5x book-to-bill ratio year-to-date. As of September 30, 2019 our backlog totaled $293.3 million, our highest level reported since March 31, 2016. In addition, we generated strong quarterly free cash flow, which was used to reduce debt."

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(See Segment Data tables)

Offshore/Manufactured Products

Offshore/Manufactured Products generated revenues and Segment EBITDA (Note B) of $104.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to revenues of $102.0 million and Segment EBITDA of $15.8 million reported in the second quarter of 2019. Revenues increased 2.8% while Segment EBITDA increased 6.5% sequentially, due to higher project-driven sales and other products and services revenues, coupled with improved facility cost absorption. Segment EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2019 was 16.1%, up from 15.5% reported in the second quarter of 2019.

Notable backlog additions during the third quarter of 2019 included a military product award. Backlog increased 3.7% sequentially and 67.9% year-over-year, respectively, totaling $293.3 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $282.9 million at June 30, 2019, and $174.6 million at September 30, 2018. Third quarter 2019 bookings totaled $123.2 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x.

Well Site Services

Well Site Services generated revenues of $116.0 million, Segment EBITDA of $20.2 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 17.4% in the third quarter of 2019. This compares to revenues of $116.0 million, Segment EBITDA of $18.3 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 15.8% reported in the second quarter of 2019. Results in the third quarter of 2019 benefited from improved Completion Services customer activity in international markets and the Gulf of Mexico, along with the benefits of continued cost reduction measures.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of its Drilling Services business (with plans to adjust from 34 rigs to 9 rigs) due to ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling units in the U.S. land market. As a result of this decision, the Drilling Services business recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.7 million to decrease the carrying value of the associated fixed assets.

Downhole Technologies

Downhole Technologies generated revenues of $42.9 million and Segment EBITDA of $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to revenues and Segment EBITDA of $46.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2019. While EBITDA improved considerably, sequential revenue declines were realized as the segment experienced lower customer activity levels later in the third quarter. Segment EBITDA margin was 13.9% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2019. The second quarter 2019 Segment EBITDA margin was negatively impacted by $1.4 million of inventory write-offs associated with product design changes.

Income Taxes

The Company recognized an effective tax rate benefit of 16.3% in the third quarter of 2019 which compared to an effective tax rate benefit of 2.6% in the second quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate benefit for both periods was below the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to certain non-deductible expenses.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2019, $65.0 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility, while cash on hand totaled $14.7 million. The Company repaid $34.2 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility during the third quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the total amount available to be drawn under the revolving credit facility was $139.1 million. The Company's total debt represented 16.1% of combined total debt and stockholders' equity at September 30, 2019.

(A) The term Consolidated EBITDA consists of net loss plus net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and certain other items. Consolidated 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 loss or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. 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.
