October 29, 2020 | Source: Oil States International, Inc.

HOUSTON, Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported a net loss of $20.0 million, or $0.33 per share, for the third quarter of 2020, on revenues of $134.8 million. Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) was $0.1 million. The reported third quarter 2020 net loss included the following more significant charges and gains:

Non-cash write-down of inventory totaling $5.9 million ($4.7 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share)
Non-cash gains on extinguishment of convertible senior notes of $5.9 million ($4.7 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share)

Third quarter 2020 highlights and corporate actions included:

Generated $87.0 million in cash flow from operations
Reduced net debt (defined as total debt less cash) by $91.9 million, including the repayment of $52.0 million of revolver borrowings and the purchase of $17.2 million principal amount of the convertible senior notes at an average discount to par value of 45%

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, stated,

“Our third quarter results were generally in line with our internal forecasts and the limited guidance that we were able to provide but the mix was different. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment results were below our previous guidance due to delays in customer activity and timing of orders. Our third quarter bookings improved sequentially to $70 million, including two notable project awards exceeding $10 million each, yielding a book-to-bill ratio for the third quarter of 0.9x. Backlog totaled $227 million as of September 30, 2020, a sequential decline of 3%. Reflecting some improvement in U.S. land activity in the latter part of the quarter, revenues in our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments increased 3% and 25% sequentially, despite numerous storm disruptions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which hampered our offshore Completion Services activity.

“We generated $87 million in cash flow from operations during the third quarter and reduced our net debt by $92 million, demonstrating our continued emphasis on reducing costs and implementing strict capital discipline in this challenging operating environment while continuing to support our customers with strong technology offerings and safe operations. Since December 31, 2019, we have generated $131 million in cash flow from operations and have reduced our net debt by $130 million.”

(A)		The term Consolidated EBITDA consists of net loss plus net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and adjustments for certain other items such as non-cash asset impairment charges and gains on extinguishment of 1.50% convertible senior notes. 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.

(B)		The terms EBITDA and Segment EBITDA consist of operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, and adjustments for certain other items such as non-cash asset impairment charges.

The Company uses EBITDA and Segment 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 tables above set forth reconciliations of EBITDA and Segment EBITDA to operating income (loss), which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
