Civeo Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

HOUSTON & CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2020-- Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Highlights include:

Reported first quarter revenues of $138.8 million, net loss of $146.5 million and operating cash flow of $20.8 million; the net loss for the first quarter of 2020 included the impact of approximately $144.1 million in non-cash goodwill and asset impairments

Delivered first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million, and free cash flow of $18.3 million

Reduced leverage ratio from 2.98x as of December 31, 2019 to 2.54x as of March 31, 2020

Awarded four contract renewals with three Western Australia mining customers to provide catering and managed services from the Company’s Action Catering business with anticipated revenues totaling A$36 million over the next three years

Previously announced implementation of cost containment initiatives related to COVID-19 and lower oil prices, including (1) salary and total compensation reductions of between 10% to 20% for the Board, executive leadership team and other senior management, (2) headcount reduction in North America of 25% in the last month, and (3) cutting expected 2020 capital spending by approximately 25%

“We are currently operating in a challenging environment, and are working hard to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and historic global oil supply/demand imbalance. Our first and most important priority in this tumultuous climate is to protect the health and wellbeing of our employees and guests. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and following our stringent safety protocols. I want to thank our employees for their commitment and focus during this difficult time," stated Bradley J. Dodson, Civeo's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Dodson added, "Civeo made progress on our key strategic initiatives in 2019, and that momentum carried into January and February of 2020. Despite the economic disruption and subdued activity in March in North America, the Company still delivered improved year-over-year financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2020, highlighted by the reduction of our leverage ratio to 2.54x on March 31, 2020, from 2.98x on December 31, 2019. We expect that the remainder of 2020 will bring reduced EBITDA; however, we believe the Company’s diversified geographic and commodity end market footprint, coupled with our relentless focus on positive free cash flow generation, will help us manage through this period of uncertainty."

Mr. Dodson concluded, "We are focusing on the factors within our control as we navigate the challenges ahead, including implementing cost containment initiatives and reducing capital expenditures. We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving market environment and manage the business accordingly."

First Quarter 2020 Results

In the first quarter of 2020, Civeo generated revenues of $138.8 million and reported a net loss of $146.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share. The loss results in part from $144.1 million in costs associated with goodwill and asset impairments. During the first quarter of 2020, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $20.8 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million and free cash flow of $18.3 million.

The first quarter of 2020 outperformed the first quarter of 2019 due to higher occupancy in both Canada and Australia coupled with the contributions from Action Catering, which was acquired in July 2019.

By comparison, in the first quarter of 2019, Civeo generated revenues of $108.6 million and reported a net loss of $17.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. During the first quarter of 2019, Civeo generated operating cash flow of $6.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $15.9 million and free cash flow of $1.1 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. 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.)

Business Segment Results

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the first quarter of 2020 to the results for the first quarter of 2019.)

Canada

During the first quarter of 2020, the Canadian segment generated revenues of $79.3 million, operating loss of $136.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million, compared to revenues of $66.8 million, operating loss of $11.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. The first quarter of 2020 results included a goodwill impairment charge of $93.6 million and asset impairment charges of $38.1 million.

On a constant currency basis, the Canadian segment experienced a 20% period-over-period increase in revenues driven by a 13% year-over-year increase in billed rooms related to oil sands activity and the contribution from the newly expanded Sitka Lodge serving LNG activity. Adjusted EBITDA for the Canadian segment increased 12% year-over-year with the higher lodge occupancy. These results were achieved despite a more than 50% drop in occupancy in our Canadian lodges during March as customers reacted to the precipitous drop in oil prices and the safety concerns related to COVID-19.

Australia

During the first quarter of 2020, the Australian segment generated revenues of $49.1 million, operating income of $6.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $16.2 million, compared to revenues of $28.4 million, operating loss of $0.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. The first quarter of 2020 results reflect the impact of a weakened Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which decreased revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by $2.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

On a constant currency basis, the Australian segment experienced an 87% period-over-period increase in revenues primarily driven by contributions from the acquisition of Action Catering. Australian village occupancy increased year-over-year with billed rooms up 23% primarily due to continued improvement in metallurgical coal activity across the Bowen Basin. Adjusted EBITDA from the Australian segment increased 64% year-over-year due to higher village occupancy coupled with contributions from the recent acquisition of Action Catering. Australian revenues in the first quarter of 2020 increased more year-over-year than Australian Adjusted EBITDA due to the inherent lower margins in the service-only business model of Action Catering.

Since the beginning of 2020, Civeo was awarded four contract renewals with three Western Australian mining customers from our Action Catering business. The contract terms vary from one to three years, with anticipated aggregate revenues totaling A$36 million through 2023.

U.S.

The U.S. segment generated revenues of $10.3 million, operating loss of $14.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to revenues of $13.4 million, operating loss of $1.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. The first quarter of 2020 included asset impairment charges of $12.4 million. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year primarily due to lower drilling and completion activity coupled with lower occupancy in the U.S. lodges.

Income Taxes

Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $8.8 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 5.7%, in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2019, Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $4.5 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 21%.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2020, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $149.6 million, consisting of $144.0 million available under its revolving credit facilities and $5.6 million of cash on hand.

Civeo’s total debt outstanding on March 31, 2020 was $314.9 million, a $44.2 million decrease since December 31, 2019. The decrease consisted of $14.2 million in debt payments from free cash flow generated by the business as well as a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $30 million.

Civeo reduced its leverage ratio from 2.98x as of December 31, 2019 to 2.54x as of March 31, 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, Civeo invested $2.7 million in capital expenditures, down from $9.7 million during the first quarter of 2019 due to the completion of the Sitka lodge expansion in 2019.

Full Year 2020 Guidance

As previously announced in the April 14th Business Update, Civeo has withdrawn its 2020 revenue and EBITDA guidance. The Company is lowering its full year 2020 capital expenditure guidance to approximately $15 million. The Company is not otherwise providing guidance at this time.

Adjusted EBITDA (1)	$	20,320		$	15,867
Free Cash Flow (2)	$	18,258		$	1,119

(1)		The term EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges. 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.

		The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in thousands) (unaudited):

Impairment of goodwill (b)	93,606			—
Adjusted EBITDA	$	20,320		$	15,867

		(a)		Relates to asset impairments recorded in the first quarter of 2020. We recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our Canadian segment of $38.1 million ($38.1 million after-tax, or $0.23 per diluted share) and a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our U.S. segment of $12.4 million ($12.4 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations.

		(b)		Relates to the impairment of goodwill. The $93.6 million impairment ($93.6 million after-tax, or $0.56 per diluted share) is related to our Canada reporting unit and is included in Impairment expense on the 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. Free Cash Flow 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 cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. 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.
