HOUSTON, April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Highlights include:

  • Completed a public offering in February 2017 of 23 million common shares, raising net proceeds of $64.8 million to repay amounts outstanding under Civeo’s revolving credit facilities and for general corporate purposes
  • Generated $9.8 million in operating cash flow and $6.5 million in free cash flow
     
  • Repaid $44 million of debt in the first quarter, reducing total debt outstanding by $41 million (net of $3 million in foreign exchange adjustments) to $316 million in total debt at March 31, 2017, down from $357 million at the end of 2016
     
  • Executed a 15-month contract renewal at McClelland Lake Lodge related to the construction of the Fort Hills Oil Sands Project
  • Completed third amendment to Civeo’s revolving credit agreement in February 2017

“Our performance during the first quarter was consistent with our strategic objectives to generate free cash flow, reduce debt, win new business and deliver best-in-class services to our customers,” said Bradley J. Dodson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “First quarter revenues were above our expectations due to better occupancy in Canada and Australia. First quarter earnings were modestly below our expectations, due to higher-than-expected stock-based compensation expense as a result of the year-to-date increase in our stock price and higher-than-expected labor costs in Canada. We are encouraged by the broadening stabilization in our core end markets, highlighted by our 15-month contract renewal at McClelland Lake Lodge in Canada and improving performance in our Australian and U.S. segments.”

Mr. Dodson concluded, “The fundamental macro-economic drivers of our business have continued to exhibit some signs of improvement in recent months. Stable oil prices are providing greater visibility to our customers in the U.S. and Canada, while met coal contract prices remain at significantly higher levels than a year ago. Accordingly, we are optimistic that demand for our services will continue to stabilize in 2017 and gradually improve over the medium to long-term. In the interim, we remain focused on executing our strategic mandates of delivering unsurpassed service quality, preserving financial flexibility and pursuing long-term growth initiatives as market conditions improve.”

First Quarter 2017 Results

In the first quarter of 2017, Civeo generated revenues of $91.4 million and reported a net loss of $21.0 million, or $0.17 per share. During the first quarter of 2017, Civeo generated operating cash flow of $9.8 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $15.2 million, and free cash flow of $6.5 million.

(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 the costs directly associated with Civeo’s redomiciliation to Canada. 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 the reconciliations to GAAP measures at the end of this news release.)

By comparison, in the first quarter of 2016, Civeo generated revenues of $95.0 million and reported a net loss of $26.8 million, or $0.25 per share.  That net loss 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. During the first quarter of 2016, Civeo generated operating cash flow of $11.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million and free cash flow of $8.1 million.

Revenues, operating cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA declined in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016, due to lower average daily rates in Canada and decreased mobile camp performance resulting from lower customer activity in the Canadian oil sands mining industry. Adjusted EBITDA was also negatively impacted by higher year-over-year stock-based compensation expense due to the year-to-date increase in Civeo’s stock price.

Business Segment Results

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the first quarter of 2017 to the results for the first quarter of 2016. The Adjusted EBITDA amounts discussed below exclude the fixed asset impairment and redomiciliation-related expenses noted above.)

Canada

During the first quarter of 2017, the Canadian segment generated revenues of $60.5 million, operating loss of $5.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million, compared to revenues of $65.5 million, operating loss of $9.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased primarily due to lower room rates, as well as a decline in mobile, open camp and product revenues, primarily attributable to lower activity levels. These items were partially offset by increased lodge occupancy related to improving seasonal demand from short-term customers.

Australia

The Australian segment generated revenues of $27.0 million, operating loss of $1.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to revenues of $25.5 million, operating loss of $1.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2016. On a constant currency basis, the revenue increase was primarily due to increased average daily rates related to a termination payment from a customer.

U.S.

The U.S. segment generated revenues of $3.9 million, operating loss of $2.8 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to revenues of $4.0 million, operating loss of $13.6 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2016. The Adjusted EBITDA increase was primarily due to cost reductions, coupled with increased utilization at our open lodges and well site services business related to the improvement in oil prices and an increase in the U.S. rig count.

McClelland Lake Lodge Contract Renewal

Civeo today announced that it has secured a 15-month contract renewal to support the construction of the Fort Hills Oil Sands project. We are encouraged by the renewal of this contract and believe it is a testament to our best-in-class customer service.

Income Taxes

Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $2.9 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 12.4% in the first quarter of 2017. During the first quarter of 2016, Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $4.6 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 14.6%.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2017, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $199.8 million, comprised of $172.7 million available under its revolving credit facilities and $27.1 million of cash on hand.

Civeo reduced total debt outstanding to $316.5 million at March 31, 2017, down from $357 million at December 31, 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, Civeo invested $3.9 million in capital expenditures, down from $4.8 million during the first quarter of 2016.  For both periods, such capital expenditures were primarily routine in nature.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2017 Guidance

For the second quarter of 2017, Civeo expects revenues of $82 million to $87 million and EBITDA of $14 million to $17 million. For the full year of 2017, Civeo is reiterating guidance of revenues of $337 million to $353 million and EBITDA of $60 million to $65 million. Civeo expects capital expenditures of approximately $15 to $18 million for the full year 2017.

(1) The term EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges and certain costs associated with Civeo’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. Civeo has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provide investors a helpful measure for comparing the Civeo’s operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Civeo 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.

(b) Relates to costs incurred associated with Civeo’s redomiciliation to Canada.  The $1.0 million of costs in 2016 ($0.7 million after-tax), which are primarily corporate in nature, are included in Selling, general and administrative costs on the unaudited 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.

Additionally, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo 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. Civeo uses Free Cash Flow to compare and to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate Civeo’s business.  It is also used as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its Free Cash Flow plan.
