PRESS RELEASE

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

EXPRO GROUP HOLDINGS N.V. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2021 RESULTS

 

Delivered solid performance in the fourth quarter as scale, broad portfolio, global operating footprint, through-cycle capabilities and strong financial profile enabled continued growth

 

Committed to further cementing the Companys position as an energy services leader while driving strong financial performance and significant value creation for shareholders

 

Provides 2022 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook

 

HOUSTON - March 3, 2022 - Expro Group Holdings N.V. (NYSE: XPRO) (the “Company” or “Expro”) today reported financial and operational results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

 

 

Revenue was $296 million compared to revenue of $198 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $98 million, or 50%. The merger between legacy Frank’s International and legacy Expro closed on October 1, 2021 (the “Merger”) and contributed $112 million of the sequential increase in revenue, which was partially offset by $21 million in legacy Expro production equipment sales that occurred during the third quarter and did not reoccur in the fourth quarter.

 

Net loss was $91 million, or $0.84 per common share, compared to a net loss of $12 million, or $0.17 per common share, for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021, excluding certain items, was $4 million, or a $0.03 loss per common share, compared to adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2021 of $1 million, or $0.02 income per common share.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $51 million, a sequential increase of $20 million, or 61%, of which $17 million was due to the Merger. The remaining increase was driven by a more favorable activity mix. Adjusted EBITDA margin for fourth quarter 2021 and third quarter 2021 was 17% and 16%, respectively.

 

Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

 

 

Revenue increased by $151 million, or 22%, to $826 million, compared to $675 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Merger contributed $112 million of the increase, with the remaining increase driven by higher activity across the majority of Expro’s operating segments.

 

Net loss was $132 million, or $1.64 per common share, compared to a net loss of $307 million, or $4.33 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted net loss, excluding certain items, was $19 million, or $0.24 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to adjusted net loss of $29 million, or $0.41 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $26 million, or 26%, to $126 million from $100 million in the prior year. Approximately $17 million of the increase was due to the Merger and the remaining increase was attributable to increased activity during the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was approximately 15% for both 2021 and 2020.

 

Expro achieved substantial growth in several product lines, capitalizing on improved industry fundamentals.

Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Expro delivered outstanding operational performance and encouraging financial results in the fourth quarter as we continue to unlock the benefits of the recently completed Merger while capitalizing on our increased scale, broad portfolio of solutions, global operating footprint, through-cycle capabilities and strong financial profile.

 

“Our solid performance despite the challenging operating environment is a testament to our team’s expertise and resilience, and our ability to continue to adapt to our customers’ evolving needs. We enhanced our business mix and our team is taking advantage of improving industry fundamentals and expanded operational capabilities. We achieved broad-based growth across our regions and product lines, with particularly notable growth in the areas of production, subsea well access and well intervention and integrity services. Of note, Segment EBITDA margin was up sequentially in each of our geography-based operating segments and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 120 basis points sequentially, all reflecting an improved business mix. We also continue to realize the benefits of our investments to develop innovative, proprietary solutions to support our customers’ energy transition goals. We remain focused on expanding our portfolio of carbon reduction solutions to help lead our industry’s journey toward a lower carbon future.

 

“We are successfully implementing a thoughtful and comprehensive integration plan and have already made significant progress bringing the legacy Frank’s and Expro’s businesses together in order to capture the full potential of our combined platform. Through the careful and deliberate implementation of our integration plan, we are creating a stronger, more flexible business with a more competitive cost structure that will allow us to significantly expand our margins. Efficiencies are already being realized across our business and customers are experiencing the benefits of our expanded offering. During fourth quarter 2021 we identified and actioned cost savings that will allow us to capture more than 50% of our previously stated $55 million run-rate cost synergies target within the first 12 months following our closing of the Merger. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our synergy targets and our integration plan remains very much on track.

 

“In addition to the $55 million of run-rate cost synergies within the first 12 months, we remain confident that we will achieve at least $70 million of total savings within 24-36 months. We are also now pursuing growth opportunities afforded by our broader portfolio and geographic footprint, and our view remains that revenue synergies will allow us to realize up to $30 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA growth as we continue to benefit from our strong customer relationships, global scale and the tailwinds from the multiyear industry and global economic recovery. As we further improve our cost structure and capitalize on the global recovery, we expect to generate strong free cash flow.

 

“We ended 2021 in a strong financial position with bright prospects for growth and profitability. Driven by performance and powered by our people, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on the significant opportunities ahead. In 2022, we intend to further cement our position as a full-cycle energy services leader while driving strong financial performance and significant value creation for our shareholders.

 

“Looking ahead, we expect that the first quarter of 2022 will show continued solid financial performance, tempered by the typical seasonally weaker activity levels in the Northern Hemisphere. As previously disclosed, we expect that revenue in the first quarter of 2022 will be relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

2

“Also consistent with comments on our third quarter earnings conference call, we continue to see strengthening signals of a multiyear recovery, with favorable macro fundamentals that are supported by a steady recovery in oil and gas demand, modest near-term supply additions and commodity prices that will support incremental international activity and increased investment in production capacity by our customers. In the near- to intermediate-term, we expect that revenue momentum will be driven by an increase in shorter-cycle, faster-return production optimization projects, which will most directly benefit our well flow management and well intervention and integrity product lines. We also expect to see a strong recovery in offshore development in the second half of the year for which our well construction and subsea well access businesses are very well positioned.

 

“We expect that Adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2022 will be 12-14% of consolidated revenue, driven by a less favorable mix of activity. As we move into the Northern Hemisphere’s summer season in the second quarter of 2022 and onwards, we expect that our revenue run-rate will approach that of the pre-pandemic 2019 revenues of legacy Expro and legacy Frank’s on a combined basis. With the benefit of fall-through on incremental revenue and synergies, we expect that Adjusted EBITDA margins in the second half of 2022 will be in the area of 20% of revenue.”

 

Notable Awards and Achievements

 

As a demonstration of the combined company’s strengthening portfolio, during the just completed fourth quarter, Expro successfully completed a site integration test of a legacy Expro Electro H Subsea Umbilical with a legacy Frank’s TRS Sheaveless COBRA® Control Line Manipulator Arm. There was strong customer interest in this combination of legacy Expro’s and legacy Frank’s technologies and one customer has now committed to using these combined offerings in a key operation in the Eastern Mediterranean in the first quarter of 2022. This combination of technologies provides deployment efficiency while improving overall operational safety.

 

Expro’s first automated tong system, iTONG, was also commissioned during the fourth quarter. This system uses artificial intelligence to optimize tubular make ups and will facilitate a step change in drilling rig efficiency and safety, reducing manpower requirements and improving well integrity. This “one touch” automated system is well aligned with the Company’s drive for automation and will build on Expro’s record of significantly enhancing rig performance.

 

Further demonstrating Expro’s commitment to new technologies, in the fourth quarter the Company also announced the launch of Galea™, the world’s first fully autonomous well intervention system designed to maximize production while reducing intervention costs, HSE risks and environmental impact.

 

Another milestone was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021 in our MENA business when Expro passed a half million hours of data transmission. Expro’s ability to provide a complete data solution allowed the customer’s reservoir and production teams to optimize production from its wells. In particular, expedited data transmission, real-time monitoring and close collaboration allowed both Expro and the customer to effectively mitigate the consequences of unexpected changes in production.

 

Also in the fourth quarter of 2021, Expro delivered a customized well intervention solution for a deviated well in Indonesia using its unique CoilHose™ system. This world first operation used a roller bogie set up to reach the customer’s target depth. The CoilHose™ solution offers a rapid rig up time compared to traditional coil tubing, reducing the time required to plan and perform the operation. This simplified approach reduces safety risk and the environmental impact when intervening wells.

Segment Results

 

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the fourth quarter of 2021 to the results for the third quarter of 2021.

 

North and Latin America (NLA)

 

NLA revenue totaled $100 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $32 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $68 million. Approximately $67 million of the increase related to the Merger. The remaining increase was due to additional well intervention and integrity services in Trinidad and Tobago and subsea well access services in Brazil driven by higher customer activity, partially offset by lower well flow management services revenue in Mexico.

 

NLA Segment EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $21 million, or 21% of segment revenue, compared to $5 million, or 17% of segment revenue, for the prior quarter. The increase in Segment EBITDA primarily related to the Merger, which contributed Segment EBITDA of $16 million during the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Europe and Sub Sahara Africa (ESSA)

 

ESSA revenue totaled $94 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $87 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $7 million. The sequential improvement was primarily due to the Merger, which contributed incremental revenue of $28 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by production equipment sales that occurred during the previous quarter and did not reoccur.

 

ESSA Segment EBITDA during the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $20 million, or 21% of segment revenue, compared to $18 million, or 20% of segment revenue, in the prior quarter. The increase in Segment EBITDA was primarily attributable to the Merger, which contributed incremental Segment EBITDA of $9 million during the fourth quarter of December 31, 2021. This was partially offset by a reduction in Segment EBITDA due to the non-recurring production equipment sales and a modestly less favorable activity mix.

 

Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

 

MENA revenue totaled $49 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $38 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $11 million. Approximately $8 million of the increase was attributable to the Merger. The remaining increase was driven by higher well flow management services revenue in Algeria and Egypt.

 

MENA Segment EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $16 million, or 33% of segment revenue, compared to $11 million, or 29% of segment revenue, in the prior quarter, an increase of $5 million. Approximately $1 million of the increase was due to the Merger. The remaining increase was attributable to a more favorable activity mix and improved activity levels, which also contributed to the improvements in Segment EBITDA margin during the fourth quarter.

 

4

Asia Pacific (APAC)

 

APAC revenue for three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $51 million, compared to $40 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $11 million. Approximately $8 million of the increase was attributable to the Merger. The remaining increase was driven by higher subsea well access revenue in Malaysia and improved well intervention and integrity services revenue in Thailand and Indonesia. The revenue increase was a result of activity from new contracts and higher activity on existing contracts.

 

APAC Segment EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $12 million, or 24% of segment revenue, compared to $8 million, or 19% of segment revenue, in the prior quarter, an increase of $4 million. Approximately $1 million of the increase was due to the Merger. The remaining increase was attributable to higher segment revenue and a more favorable activity mix.

 

Other Financial Information

 

The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and approximately $82 million for the full year 2021. Expro plans for capital expenditures in the range of approximately $90 million to $100 million for 2022.

 

As of December 31, 2021, Expro’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, totaled $240 million. The Company had no outstanding debt as of December 31, 2021 and has no outstanding debt today. The Company’s total liquidity as of December 31, 2021 was $370 million. Total liquidity includes $130 million available for drawdowns as loans under the Company’s new revolving credit facility entered in connection with the Merger (the “New Facility”).

 

Expro’s provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $8 million compared to $5 million in the prior quarter. The change in income taxes was primarily due to the current quarter including the provision for income taxes for legacy Frank’s entities which were not included in the prior quarter. There were also changes in taxable profits in certain jurisdictions and the Company derecognized deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions during the prior quarter.

 

The Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with legacy Expro being identified as the accounting acquirer. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of only legacy Expro for all periods prior to October 1, 2021, the Merger date, and of the combined company (including activities of legacy Frank’s) for all periods subsequent to the Merger. 

 

Considering recent geopolitical events, we note we have minimal activity in Russia and Ukraine. Such countries accounted for less than 1% of our revenue in 2021.

 

The financial measures provided that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including net income (loss), income tax expense (benefit) and foreign exchange gains (losses).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this release include statements, estimates and projections regarding the Company’s future business strategy and prospects for growth, cash flows and liquidity, financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct. Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. Such assumptions, risks and uncertainties include the outcome and results of the integration process associated with the Merger, the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, the availability and terms of capital, the level of activity in the oil and gas industry, volatility of oil and gas prices, unique risks associated with offshore operations, political, economic and regulatory uncertainties in international operations, the ability to develop new technologies and products, the ability to protect intellectual property rights, the ability to employ and retain skilled and qualified workers, the level of competition in the Company’s industry, global or national health concerns, including health epidemics, such as COVID-19 and any variants thereof, the possibility of a swift and material decline in global crude oil demand and crude oil prices for an uncertain period of time, future actions of foreign oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, the timing, pace and extent of an economic recovery in the United States and elsewhere, the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations, and other guidance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations, cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes these metrics provide additional information relative to the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period and to compare such performance with the performance of other publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations, cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for (a) income tax expense (benefit), (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) impairment expense, (d) severance and other expense, net, (e) stock-based compensation expense, (f) merger and integration expense, (g) gain on disposal of assets, (h) other income, net, (i) interest and finance expense (income), net, and (j) foreign exchange losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Contribution is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue excluding indirect support costs included in cost of revenue. Contribution margin is defined as contribution divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Support costs is defined as indirect costs attributable to supporting the activities of the operating segments, research and engineering expenses and product line management costs included in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization, which represent costs of running the corporate head office and other central functions, including logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety, and does not include foreign exchange gains or losses and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted cash flow from operations is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for cash paid during the period for interest, net, severance and other expense and merger and integration expense. Cash conversion is defined as Adjusted cash flow from operations divided by Adjusted EBITDA, expressed as a percentage.

 

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net loss before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, New Facility expense, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairments, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items. The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share as net loss per diluted share before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, New Facility expense, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairments, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items, divided by diluted weighted average common shares.

 

Please see the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1)

Expro evaluates its business segment operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin. Expros management believes Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin are useful operating performance measures as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating activities and corporate costs and allows Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments. 

 

 

(2)

Expro defines Segment EBITDA Margin as Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a percentage.

 

 

(3)

Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage.

   
(4) Corporate costs include the costs of running our corporate head office and other central functions that support the operating segments, including research, engineering and development, logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety and are not attributable to a particular operating segment.
