Oil States Announces Record Quarterly Earnings of $2.43 Per Diluted Share
4/26/2012 4:16:26 PM

HOUSTON, Apr 26, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $135.1 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, which included a gain of $0.23 per diluted share after-tax from a favorable contract settlement in its U.S. accommodations business. These results compare to net income of $62.1 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.

The Company generated revenues of $1.1 billion and record quarterly EBITDA of $256.7 million during the first quarter of 2012, which included a pre-tax benefit of $17.9 million related to a favorable contract settlement, compared to revenues of $760.4 million and EBITDA of $139.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 (EBITDA(A) defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The 45% increase in revenues and 84% increase in EBITDA resulted from organic growth initiatives, increased deepwater spending and higher U.S. drilling and completion activity. Consolidated operating income more than doubled totaling $204.2 million in the current quarter, up from $94.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, with EBITDA margins improving to 23% in the first quarter of 2012, up from 18% a year ago. Excluding the favorable contract settlement recorded during the first quarter of 2012, operating income and EBITDA would have increased year-over-year by 97% and 71%, respectively.

Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "All of our business segments realized strong activity levels and performed very well during the quarter. On a year-over-year basis, we benefitted from expansions of our accommodations business in each of our major markets, strong revenues generated by our offshore products business and continued growth in our North American businesses."

"Occupancy levels were very strong in both the Canadian and Australian accommodations markets. RevPAR increased 8% year-over-year due to these high occupancy levels and the outlook for our customers' future worker accommodation needs continues to be positive. During the first quarter, we invested $64 million to expand our accommodations business. Backlog in our offshore products segment remained at strong levels totaling $529 million at March 31, 2012. Bidding and quoting activity remains robust, particularly for subsea products and floating production facility content in the Brazilian, West African, and Southeast Asian markets."

Mrs. Taylor concluded by stating, "Despite the recent decline in natural gas prices and resultant shift in U.S. drilling activity from dry gas regions to liquids basins, our well site services segment performed well. Our broad network of more than 55 locations across the U.S. allowed us to manage this shift in activity in terms of both personnel and equipment. Customer demand for tubulars remains strong evidenced by a 33% year-over-year increase in shipments due primarily to higher U.S. drilling activity coupled with increased shipments of OCTG destined for offshore wells."

The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 28.2% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 27.3% in the first quarter of 2011. The higher effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to a higher foreign effective tax rate. The Company invested $101.4 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2012 primarily related to the ongoing expansion of its accommodations business coupled with additional rental equipment deployed to service the active U.S. shale plays.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from the first quarter of 2012 to the results from the first quarter of 2011.)

Accommodations

Accommodations generated revenues of $301.8 million and EBITDA of $148.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $197.1 million and $75.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. Results for the first quarter of 2012 included EBITDA of $17.9 million related to a U.S. contract settlement. The settlement pertained to a U.S. mobile camp contract associated with an infrastructure project that has been delayed indefinitely. Excluding this settlement, the accommodations segment's revenues increased 44% and EBITDA increased 74% year-over-year primarily due to a 24% year-over-year improvement in Canadian mobile camp business, a 36% year-over-year organic increase in average available rooms and an 8% year-over-year increase in RevPAR due to high occupancy levels.

Well Site Services

Well site services generated revenues of $183.0 million and EBITDA of $59.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $140.6 million and $41.4 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011. Revenues increased 30% and EBITDA increased 42% year-over-year primarily due to increased U.S. drilling and completion activity coupled with expanded margins. Our rental tools business benefited from strong U.S. completion activity, the deployment of additional equipment in the active shale basins and greater service intensity. Service tickets increased 13% year-over-year and revenue per ticket increased 12% year-over-year, as the industry favored our higher specification equipment, particularly in the Bakken, Eagle Ford, Marcellus and the Permian Basin regions. The year-over-year increase in activity also led to improved cost absorption.

Offshore Products

Offshore products generated revenues and EBITDA of $185.7 million and $36.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $128.4 million and $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. Revenues and EBITDA increased 45% and 80% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to high manufacturing activity, improved revenue mix oriented towards production equipment and connector products sales, combined with improved cost absorption. Backlog totaled $529 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $535 million reported at December 31, 2011 and $416 million reported at March 31, 2011. Backlog additions during the quarter included a large subsea pipeline equipment order in Brazil.

Tubular Services

Tubular services generated revenues of $428.5 million and EBITDA of $23.5 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to revenues and EBITDA of $294.3 million and $13.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011. Revenues and EBITDA improved 46% and 74% year-over-year, respectively, primarily due to the 33% year-over-year increase in OCTG shipments, which exceeded the 16% year-over-year increase in U.S. drilling activity and was driven by increased activity in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins along with a recovery in demand in the Gulf of Mexico. Gross margin as a percent of revenues in the first quarter of 2012 increased to 6.3% from 5.9% in the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to product mix and industry pricing. The Company's OCTG inventory increased 13% sequentially to $473.1 million at March 31, 2012 based on strong customer demand.

(1) Includes contract settlement revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

(A) The term EBITDA consists of net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 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 income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our 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 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 following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles.
