HOUSTON, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2019 of $14.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share on revenues of $250.6 million and Consolidated EBITDA (Note A) of $21.4 million. The reported first quarter 2019 results included severance charges totaling $1.0 million ($0.8 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share).

First quarter 2019 highlights included:

• Offshore/Manufactured Products backlog increase of 31%, resulting in a 1.63x book-to-bill ratio for the quarter

• Cash flow from operations totaling $34.3 million

• Revolving credit facility net repayments totaling $15.9 million

Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy B. Taylor, stated, "Following a volatile fourth quarter regarding commodity prices, we entered the first quarter with a heightened level of uncertainty. As the quarter progressed, our outlook improved given commodity price increases and a relatively stable, if not improving, level of customer spending activity. All of our business segments completed the quarter at or near the high-end of our previous guidance. Our Completion Services revenues declined 7% sequentially due to rig count reductions in the U.S. coupled with an adverse service mix in the quarter. Our land drilling operations declined at a disproportionate rate as customers temporarily shut-down their drilling programs following the decline in commodity prices in the fourth quarter of 2018. However, our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments experienced improving product and service demand later in the quarter. We were particularly encouraged by our Offshore/Manufactured Products bookings, which led to a 1.63x book-to-bill ratio for the quarter, evidencing improving global offshore demand."

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
(See Segment Data tables)

Well Site Services
Well Site Services generated revenues of $108.4 million, Segment EBITDA (Note B) of $13.2 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 12% in the first quarter of 2019. This compares to revenues of $126.1 million, Segment EBITDA of $19.0 million and a Segment EBITDA margin of 15% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Results in the first quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by disproportionately lower utilization of the land drilling rigs as customers temporarily shut-down their drilling programs following the material decline in crude oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2018. Utilization in the land drilling business averaged only 12% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 30% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Downhole Technologies
Downhole Technologies generated revenues of $54.3 million and Segment EBITDA of $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to revenues and Segment EBITDA of $52.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenues and Segment EBITDA increased 4% and 47%, respectively, on a sequential basis due to increased demand for completion, intervention and perforating products. Segment EBITDA margin was 17% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 12% in the fourth quarter of 2018. First quarter 2019 EBITDA margin benefited from improved manufacturing facility cost absorption due to higher levels of throughput and product demand, as well as the non-recurrence of $2.4 million of patent defense costs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Offshore/Manufactured Products
Offshore/Manufactured Products generated revenues and Segment EBITDA of $87.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2019 compared to revenues of $95.8 million and Segment EBITDA of $12.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenues decreased 8% while Segment EBITDA decreased 16% sequentially, due to a decrease in other product and service revenues, partially offset by higher project-driven product sales. Segment EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2019 was 12% compared to 13% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Backlog increased 31% sequentially to total $234 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $179 million at December 31, 2018. First quarter 2019 bookings totaled $144 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.63x.

Income Taxes
The Company recognized an effective tax rate benefit of 1.9% in the first quarter of 2019 which compared to an effective tax rate provision of 5.1% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate benefit in the first quarter of 2019 was lower than the statutory rate due to certain non-deductible items.

Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2019, $120.2 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility, while cash totaled $15.3 million. The Company had access to $133.1 million of revolving credit facility availability as of March 31, 2019.

(A) The term Consolidated EBITDA consists of net loss plus net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and certain other items. 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.
