SUGAR LAND, Texas, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI), a leading global provider of specialized industrial services, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Consolidated net income in the second quarter of 2019 was $6.1 million ($0.20 income per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $31.3 million ($1.04 loss per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $30.4 million in the prior year quarter. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP items at the end of this news release.)

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $315.8 million compared to $343.9 million in the prior year quarter. This reduction resulted primarily from lower activity in our Inspection and Heat Treating (“IHT”) segment, partially offset by higher activity levels in our Quest Integrity segment.

“We are pleased with our current quarter performance, achieving the highest quarterly adjusted EBITDA since 2016,” said Amerino Gatti, Chief Executive Officer of Team. “Due to our ongoing OneTEAM transformation and integration program, gross margin of 30% exceeded the prior year’s quarter by 170 basis points and 550 basis points sequentially which demonstrates our commitment to profitable revenue management. Second quarter SG&A was the lowest since 2016 and decreased 12.4% from Q2 2018. The year-over-year reduction in SG&A further reflects the successful implementation of our cost savings plan.”

“Quest Integrity continued its positive momentum, reporting record revenues of $32.3 million in the second quarter and, for the first time, delivering more than $10 million in adjusted EBITDA in a quarter. EBITDA margins expanded by 630 basis points to 32% and the segment remains on track for its third straight record revenue year. Quest continues to expand into both existing and new global markets by leveraging differentiated technologies, strong domain expertise and fully integrated asset specialized solutions all of which are critical for our clients.”

“Our focus on safety, quality and project execution are driving disciplined margin expansion and cash flow. Even as macro conditions fluctuate, our end-market activity supports a stronger second half than first half of the year. We remain optimistic about our outlook and are on track to achieve improvements in adjusted EBITDA, gross margins, and free cash flow over the prior year,” Mr. Gatti, concluded.

Second quarter 2019 reported results include certain net charges not indicative of Team’s core operating activities, including: $2.7 million of costs related to our OneTEAM program and $1.0 million of certain legal, professional fees and other non-recurring costs. Net of tax, these items totaled $2.9 million ($0.10 per diluted share).

Excluding these items, adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $9.0 million, or $0.30 adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019 compared to adjusted net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.15 adjusted net loss per diluted share for the same quarter in 2018. Our adjusted measure of operating income, Adjusted EBIT, was $16.7 million in the second quarter compared to $9.8 million in the prior year comparable quarter.

Adjusted net income or loss, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items that are not indicative of Team’s core operating activities. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is at the end of this release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Increase (Decrease)
	2019				2018				$			%
	(unaudited)				(unaudited)
Revenues by business segment:
IHT	$	138,658			$	168,673			$	(30,015	)	(17.8	)%
MS	144,897				148,978				(4,081		)	(2.7	)%
Quest Integrity	32,274				26,238				6,036			23.0	%
Total	$	315,829			$	343,889			$	(28,060	)	(8.2	)%
Operating income (loss):
IHT	$	9,497			$	13,281			$	(3,784	)	(28.5	)%
MS	20,317				10,582				9,735			92.0	%
Quest Integrity	9,324				5,751				3,573			62.1	%
Corporate and shared support services	(26,134		)		(27,815		)		1,681			6.0	%
Total	$	13,004			$	1,799			$	11,205		622.8	%

Quest Integrity continued its strong growth with a 23.0% year-over-year improvement in revenue and a 62.1% increase in operating income. Decreased activity levels in IHT were associated with volumes being negatively impacted across Canada and parts of the United States. Also, decreases of revenue due to discontinued underperforming businesses in our IHT and MS segments in late 2018 significantly impacted revenues as compared to the same period in 2018.

Cash and Total Liquidity

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents was $12.8 million at June 30, 2019. We had approximately $56 million of available borrowing capacity with total liquidity of $69 million at June 30, 2019.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

As noted in the previously issued 2018 Form 10-K, the Company identified errors in its previously issued 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These prior period errors are related to the measurement of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. The prior period condensed consolidated financial statements and other affected prior period financial information have been revised to correct these errors. The effect of correcting the errors increased our income tax benefit and favorably impacted our net loss by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined the related impacts were not material to its previously filed annual or interim consolidated financial statements, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.

Outlook for 2019

The Company anticipates that it will generate more than $30.0 million of free cash flow for 2019 with capital expenditures of approximately $30.0 million to $33.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures in this press release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Team’s performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measure is contained in the accompanying schedule for each of the fiscal periods indicated.

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the consolidated financial information including adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); adjusted EBIT (defined below); adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) and free cash flow to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, each as defined by the Company, exclude the following items from net income (loss): costs associated with our OneTEAM transformation program, acquisition costs associated with business combinations, legal costs associated with Quest Integrity patent defense litigation, professional fees for acquired business integration, gains (losses) on the revaluation of contingent consideration, restructuring and other related charges (credits), executive severance/transition costs, non-capitalized Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) implementation costs, gains (losses) on our convertible debt embedded derivative, and certain other items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating activities and the related income tax impacts. We also exclude the income tax impacts of certain special income tax items including the effects of certain tax legislation changes. The identification of these special tax items is judgmental in nature, and their calculation is based on various assumptions and estimates. EBIT, as defined by the Company, excludes income tax expense (benefit), interest charges and items of other (income) expense and therefore is equal to operating income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBIT further excludes the following items: costs associated with our OneTEAM transformation program, acquisition costs associated with business combinations, legal costs associated with Quest Integrity patent defense litigation, professional fees for acquired business integration, gains (losses) on the revaluation of contingent consideration, restructuring and other related charges (credits), executive severance/transition costs, non-capitalized ERP implementation costs and certain other items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes from adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization and non-cash share based compensation costs. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures.

Management believes that excluding certain items from GAAP results allows management to better understand the consolidated financial performance from period to period and to better identify operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. Moreover, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures will provide its stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate operating performance. However, there are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than Team does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. You are encouraged to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented.
