HOUSTON, April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2017 of $17.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $0.8 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) for severance and other downsizing charges. These results compare to a reported net loss for the first quarter of 2016 of $13.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $1.6 million ($1.0 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) of severance and other downsizing charges.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company generated revenues of $151.5 million and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (Note B) of $5.4 million (excluding $0.8 million for severance and other downsizing charges). These results compare to revenues of $169.7 million and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA of $12.1 million reported in the first quarter of 2016 (excluding $1.6 million of severance and other downsizing charges). 

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, stated, “Results for the first quarter of 2017 reflect current market trends including a recovery in U.S. land-based drilling and completion-related activity, offset by reduced spending in certain international regions coupled with continued underinvestment in deepwater. Our well site services segment benefitted from the early stages of a recovery in U.S. land completion activity in selected shale play regions, but was also negatively impacted by higher personnel costs, customer delays in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and lower international results. Our offshore/manufactured products segment experienced reduced project-driven revenue, partially offset by increased short-cycle product sales. We recorded a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x resulting in sequential backlog growth in our offshore/manufactured products segment for the first time since the second quarter of 2014, which is encouraging.”

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
(See Segment Data Tables)

Well Site Services
Well site services generated revenues of $60.2 million and Segment EBITDA (Note A) of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to revenues and a Segment EBITDA loss of $43.7 million and $7.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2016.  Well site services revenues and Segment EBITDA increased 38% and 111%, respectively, primarily due to a 17% year-over-year increase in revenue per completion services job as a result of increased U.S. land-based activity and job mix. For the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, completion services generated approximately 70% and 60%, respectively, of its revenues from U.S. land-based activity. Improved utilization in the land drilling business, which averaged 25% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to only 6% in the first quarter of 2016, also positively impacted the segment results.

Offshore/Manufactured Products
During the first quarter of 2017, we modified the name of our “Offshore Products” segment to the “Offshore/Manufactured Products” segment given the higher proportional weighting of our shorter-cycle manufactured products (much of which is driven by land-based activity) to the total revenues generated by the segment.

Offshore/manufactured products generated revenues and Segment EBITDA of $91.3 million and $15.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to revenues of $125.9 million and Segment EBITDA of $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. Revenues and Segment EBITDA decreased 27% and 46% year-over-year, respectively, due to lower contributions across most of the segment’s product and service lines, particularly those tied to major deepwater project sanctions. The lower quarterly revenues resulted from weaker demand for subsea pipeline infrastructure, offshore drilling and production products, all of which were impacted by lower levels of backlog. Lower major deepwater project revenues were partially offset by a 60% improvement in sales of our shorter-cycle products (elastomer and valve products), which are benefitting from expanded U.S. land-based activity. Segment EBITDA margin was 17.1% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to a margin of 23.0% realized in the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2016 margins benefitted from a number of major projects that were completed during 2016.  Backlog increased 3% sequentially, totaling $204 million at March 31, 2017 (first sequential increase in backlog since the second quarter of 2014) compared to $199 million reported at December 31, 2016 and $306 million reported at March 31, 2016. There were no major backlog additions in excess of $10 million during the first quarter of 2017.

Income Taxes
The Company recognized an effective tax rate benefit of 27.3% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to an effective tax rate benefit of 37.7% in the first quarter of 2016. The lower effective tax rate benefit in the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to a shift in the mix between domestic pre-tax losses and foreign pre-tax income compared to the prior-year period, and additional valuation allowances provided against net operating losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2017, $22.4 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility, while cash totaled $65.2 million. Total availability under the facility as of March 31, 2017 was $158.9 million (net of standby letters of credit totaling $25.5 million), which is less than the full amount of the facility due to limitations imposed by the maintenance covenant of 3.25 times trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for certain non-cash items.
