HOUSTON, July 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Highlights include:

• Delivered second quarter revenues of $92.0 million primarily due to higher than expected occupancy in Canada
   
• Reduced net loss sequentially to $14.8 million from $21.0 million, and generated $18.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA, sequentially higher in all three segments
   
• Awarded four accommodation contracts for pipeline projects in Canada with expected revenue totaling approximately C$20 million

“Despite the continuing macroeconomic headwinds impacting our industry, we delivered strong operational results during the second quarter.  Although we are still seeing pricing volatility across our end-markets, we continue to secure new work. During the quarter, we were awarded four accommodation contracts for pipeline projects in Canada with expected revenue totaling approximately C$20 million. We also experienced increased occupancy in the US Permian and Bakken regions, stronger than anticipated performance in our Canadian lodges, and continued improvement in our Australian operations occupancy driven by shorter-term work in the mining sector.” said Bradley J. Dodson, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Dodson concluded, “We remain focused on our strategic priorities which include delevering our balance sheet, improving operational efficiencies across all segments, and generating free cash flow to pursue opportunistic growth opportunities and reduce debt.  To that end, we continue to vigilantly adhere to our operational standards of providing best-in-class service to our customers, including implementing technology to enhance the guest experience such as our a la carte food ordering system.”

Second Quarter 2017 Results

In the second quarter of 2017, Civeo generated revenues of $92.0 million and reported a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.11 per share. During the second quarter of 2017, Civeo generated operating cash flow of $4.6 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $18.6 million, and free cash flow of $3.0 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 second quarter of 2016, Civeo generated revenues of $107.0 million and reported a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.11 per share.  That net loss included the impact of $0.2 million of pre-tax expense related to Civeo’s redomiciliation to Canada. During the second quarter of 2016, Civeo generated operating cash flow of $23.9 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $26.9 million and free cash flow of $19.2 million.

Revenues, operating cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA declined, and net loss increased, in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher Canadian lodge occupancy in the 2016 quarter during and after the Ft. McMurray wild fires.

Business Segment Results

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

Canada

During the second quarter of 2017, the Canadian segment generated revenues of $57.7 million, operating loss of $9.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $14.7 million, compared to revenues of $77.1 million, operating income of $0.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $23.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. Results reflect the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which reduced revenues by $2.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $0.6 million.  On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased primarily due to the Canadian outperformance in the 2016 quarter related to the Ft. McMurray fires. These items were partially offset by higher lodge occupancy related to customer construction and maintenance projects.

Australia

The financial results of the Australian segment for the second quarter of 2017 were comparable to the second quarter in 2016. Revenue was $28.6 million, operating loss was $3.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to revenues of $27.5 million, operating loss of $0.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2016.

U.S.

The U.S. segment generated revenues of $5.7 million, operating loss of $3.6 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to revenues of $2.4 million, operating loss of $3.8 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. The Adjusted EBITDA increase was primarily due to the year-over-year improvement in occupancy at our West Permian and Killdeer lodges, continued improvement in our wellsite business resulting from increased U.S. drilling and completion activity in the Bakken, Rockies and Texas markets and cost containment measures put in place in 2016.

Income Taxes

Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $2.9 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 16.5% in the second quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2016, Civeo recognized an income tax benefit of $0.9 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 7.7%.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2017, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $144.8 million, consisting of $117.5 million available under its revolving credit facilities and $27.3 million of cash on hand.

Civeo’s total debt outstanding at June 30, 2017 was $320.2 million, a $3.7 million increase over the first quarter of 2017.  The increase in debt from March 31, 2017 was due to the Canadian dollar strengthening versus the U.S. dollar toward the end of the second quarter, partially offset by $4.0 million in debt reduction payments. 

During the second quarter of 2017, Civeo invested $2.2 million in capital expenditures, down from $5.1 million during the second quarter of 2016.  For both periods, such capital expenditures were primarily for routine maintenance.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2017 Guidance

For the third quarter of 2017, Civeo expects revenues of $89 million to $95 million and EBITDA of $16.0 million to $18.5 million. For the full year of 2017, Civeo expects revenues of $354 million to $363 million and EBITDA of $61 million to $66 million. Civeo expects capital expenditures of approximately $12 to $15 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.

(a) Relates to the first quarter 2016 impairment of assets in the United States.  We recorded a pre-tax loss of $8.4 million ($5.5 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations.
(b) Relates to costs incurred associated with Civeo's redomiciliation to Canada.  The $0.2 million and $1.3 million of costs in 2016 ($0.2 million and $1.2 million after-tax, or $0.00 and $0.01, per diluted share, respectively), 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. 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.  It is also used as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its Free Cash Flow plan.
