August 3, 2020
PDF Version

Company Generates $21 million Cash from Operating Activities; Reduces Debt by $27 million

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) ("Newpark" or the "Company") today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $101.9 million compared to $164.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $216.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $26.2 million, or ($0.29) per share, compared to net loss of $12.1 million, or ($0.14) per share, for the first quarter of 2020, and net income of $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 results include the impact of the following:

  • $8.3 million of pre-tax charges for write-downs of inventory in the Fluids Systems segment ($6.5 million after-tax);
  • $2.8 million of pre-tax charges for severance costs ($2.2 million after-tax), including $2.6 million in the Fluids Systems segment and $0.2 million in the Corporate office;
  • $0.8 million of pre-tax charges for facility closures and related exit costs in the Fluids Systems segment ($0.6 million after-tax); and
  • $1.3 million pre-tax ($1.1 million after-tax) gain associated with the repurchase of $18.6 million of our convertible notes in the open market.

Combined, the impact of the above items resulted in a $11.9 million increase in operating loss and an $8.2 million increase in net loss ($0.09 per share) for the second quarter of 2020.

Paul Howes, Newpark's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The COVID-related shutdowns combined with the unprecedented market collapse over the past four months is unlike anything we've experienced before. In light of these market challenges and difficult working conditions, our highest priority has remained the health and safety of our global workforce. I am extremely proud of the performance of our entire organization in recent months, as we've swiftly executed actions from our strategic playbook aimed at rightsizing our organization in markets where longer-term softness is expected, aggressively managing our working capital to drive positive free cash flow generation, while continuing to safely support our customers. The impact of COVID is proving to be longer in duration and deeper than we originally anticipated, most notably within the EMEA region of Fluids Systems, where government-imposed restrictions on movements of personnel and products, along with ongoing uncertainty regarding the timing of COVID recovery are causing activity disruptions and project delays. Mats & Integrated Services has also experienced an elevated impact from COVID in the second quarter, with our Energy Infrastructure customers seeing delays in the issuance of governmental permits as well as supply chain and logistical restrictions, resulting in delays to planned projects.

"We moved quickly to adjust our cost structure beginning in the first quarter, reducing our global workforce by 25% in the first half of the year, including a 50% reduction in the US land Fluids business. We've also continued our aggressive management of liquidity, eliminating all non-critical capital investments and driving reductions in working capital balances. Benefitting from these actions, we generated $21 million of free cash flow and reduced our total debt balance by $27 million in the second quarter," added Howes. 

"The Fluids Systems segment posted second quarter 2020 revenues of $75 million, reflecting a 44% sequential decline. With the combined impact of the oil and gas market collapse as well as COVID-related restrictions, revenues declined sharply in most major regions, with the exception of the Middle East, where revenues improved 9% sequentially. North America Fluids Systems revenues declined by $41 million sequentially, which included a $30 million reduction in US land markets and a $10 million decline in Canada. Outside of North America, revenues pulled back by $17 million sequentially to $29 million in the second quarter, reflecting a larger-than-anticipated impact from COVID restrictions combined with lower commodity prices. The impacts were felt to some extent across most of our international units, with Italy and North Africa contributing the majority of the decline. For the second quarter of 2020, 62% of Fluids Systems revenues were derived from international and offshore Gulf of Mexico markets.

Howes continued, "In the Mats and Integrated Services business, the increasing COVID disruptions led to a $6 million sequential decline in rental and service revenues in the second quarter.  Product sales increased modestly on a sequential basis to $5 million in the second quarter, although order activity continues to be negatively impacted by customer uncertainty. For the second quarter of 2020, approximately 70% of the Mats and Integrated Services revenue was derived from Energy Infrastructure and other non-E&P end-markets.

"Despite the extremely challenging market conditions, we remain committed to driving positive free cash flow generation and reducing our debt, while taking the actions necessary to position the company to emerge as a leaner organization, less dependent upon the volatile US land E&P market," concluded Howes.

Segment Results

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $74.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $132.8 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $172.5 million for the second quarter of 2019. Segment operating loss was $25.1 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to an operating loss of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 and operating income of $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2020 includes a total of $11.7 million of charges associated with inventory write-downs, severance costs, and facility exit costs. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2020 includes a total of $1.2 million of charges associated with inventory write-downs and severance costs.

The Mats and Integrated Services segment generated revenues of $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $31.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $43.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. Segment operating income was $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Repurchase of Convertible Notes due December 2021

During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $18.6 million of our Convertible Notes due December 2021 in the open market for a total cost of $15.3 million and recognized a $1.3 million gain on the extinguishment of debt. For the first half of 2020, we repurchased a total of $33.1 million of our Convertible Notes in the open market for a total cost of $29.1 million and recognized a $0.4 million gain on the extinguishment of debt.  After giving effect to these repurchases, we had $66.9 million of Convertible Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

Newpark Resources, Inc.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)

To help understand the Company's financial performance, the Company has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with non-GAAP financial measures. Such financial measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and liquidity with that of other companies in our industry. Management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, liquidity and capital structure. In addition, our incentive compensation plan measures performance based on our consolidated EBITDA, along with other factors. The methods we use to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

The following tables reconcile the Company's net income (loss) or segment operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA:
