HOUSTON, August 10, 2020 – NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCSM) (the “Company,” “NCS,” “we” or “us”), a leading provider of highly engineered products and support services that facilitate the optimization of oil and natural gas well completions and field development strategies, today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Financial Review
Total revenues were $8.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which was a decrease of 78% compared to the second quarter of 2019. This decrease reflected reductions in product sales and services volumes in North America as well as lower pricing for certain products and services, including composite plugs and tracer diagnostics, partially offset by higher services revenue in international markets. We believe the decrease in both activity and pricing resulting from the decline in market conditions primarily related to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic had a negative impact on our revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as drilling rig and completion activity in North America began to decline sharply through the month of March and continued to decline during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, customer activity in China was delayed and activity in Argentina was suspended from mid-March through June due to government regulations. Total revenues decreased by 84% as compared to the first quarter of 2020 with decreases in both product sales and services in the United States, Canada and outside of North America.
Gross profit, which we define as total revenues less total cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $2.3 million, or 27% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $16.7 million, or 42% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2019. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues increased due to the significant reduction in revenue, leading to under-utilization of manufacturing capacity and field service personnel, as well as a reduction in pricing for certain products and services.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses totaled $15.5 million, a decrease of $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year. This overall decrease in expense reflects declines in compensation and bonuses, share-based compensation, ERP-related expenses, and bad debt expense. Additionally, professional fees, including litigation fees, were lower this quarter by $2.5 million as compared to the second quarter of 2019. These favorable variances were partially offset by severance charges incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to reductions in workforce, which was higher this quarter by $3.4 million as compared to the second quarter of 2019.
Net loss was $(8.8) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which included a net impact of $0.2 million (after tax effect of $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share) related to realized and unrealized foreign currency losses as well as a benefit of $1.1 million related to a reduction in foreign tax expense. As with the first quarter of 2020, income tax was impacted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and income tax valuation allowances recorded to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items, was $(9.3) million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This compares to a net loss of $(22.3) million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019, which included a net impact of $8.2 million (after tax effect of $17.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share) related to an impairment charge and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses. The income tax adjustment was significantly affected by the income tax valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying value of our U.S. deferred tax asset and the tax effect of a non-deductible goodwill impairment. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items, was $(5.2) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(7.9) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $(6.9) million as compared to the second
1
quarter of 2019.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity
The Company incurred capital expenditures of $0.6 million, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $4.1 million, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $31.3 million in cash and $21.4 million in total debt. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company increased its cash position by $15.8 million and its total debt by $3.7 million. Our net working capital, which we define as our current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus our current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt, was $48.6 million at June 30, 2020.
On August 6, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our senior secured credit facility that (i) reduced the U.S. Commitments from $50.0 million to $25.0 million and (ii) reduced the Canadian Commitments from $25.0 million to $0. NCS Multistage Inc., our Canadian Borrower, may make borrowings under the U.S. Facility, subject to a $15.0 million sublimit. The Amendment also limits total outstanding credit exposure of the lenders under the U.S. Facility and the Canadian Facility to a borrowing base calculated based on eligible receivables. There were no changes to the maturity date which remains at May 1, 2023.
The Amendment (i) eliminated financial covenants requiring compliance with maximum leverage, minimum interest coverage and minimum asset coverage tests, (ii) added new financial covenants requiring compliance with minimum liquidity and, in certain circumstances of reduced liquidity, minimum fixed charge coverage tests during any reduced liquidity period and (iii) added new covenants, including a weekly sweep of available cash over a specified threshold, more stringent limits on capital expenditures and enhanced financial reporting requirements.
Cost Reduction and Liquidity Enhancement Initiatives
In response to the current market conditions and reduction in demand for our products and services, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, NCS has undertaken, and the Board of Directors is monitoring and evaluating, multiple initiatives to reduce our cost structure, limit capital expenditures and enhance our liquidity and access to capital, including:
* |
A reduction in bonus accruals for 2020 and the decision to not pay out 2019 bonuses; |
* |
An elimination of the employer matching contributions for NCS’s U.S. 401(k) plan and its Registered Retirement Savings Plan in Canada; |
* |
A moratorium on non-essential travel for all employees; |
* |
Negotiation of new rates, work rules and payment schedules with vendors; |
* |
Strategies to reduce third-party spend, including information technology, financial services and third-party research and development; |
* |
Deferral of U.S. employer payroll taxes, as permitted under the CARES Act; |
* |
Application for, and receipt of, benefits under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program; |
* |
Accelerating the filing of our 2019 U.S. federal tax return to utilize net operating loss carryback provisions from the CARES Act in order to obtain a cash tax refund during the second half of 2020; |
* |
Reducing planned capital expenditures for the year and selling excess vehicles; |
* |
Relocating our U.S. assembly operations to better align with our supply chain partners, reduce overhead and improve fixed cost absorption; |
* |
Borrowing an additional $5.0 million under our senior secured credit facility in March 2020 to fund severance costs associated with the reductions in force while maintaining operational liquidity; |
* |
In April 2020, Repeat Precision entered into a new promissory note providing up to $5.0 million in additional borrowing capacity; and |
* |
Amending our revolving credit facility to modify certain covenants and to establish a borrowing base related to our accounts receivable, which we believe provides us with enhanced financial flexibility. |
In connection with the reductions in workforce described above, we recorded severance charges of approximately $1.3 million in the
2
first quarter of 2020 and $3.5 million of severance expense in the second quarter of 2020, which is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under SG&A expenses. NCS expects to record $0.9 million of severance expense to be reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2020.
NCS continues to evaluate market conditions and will continue to take necessary actions to further reduce our cost base and try to enhance liquidity should there be a further reduction in the demand for our products and services.
NCS’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Nipper commented, “As we operate in these unusual and uncertain times, the health and safety of our employees remains paramount and I sincerely thank the exceptional people at NCS and Repeat Precision. This team continues to deliver innovation to the industry and expertise to our customers. We have a leadership position across our focused suite of products and services which we believe enable our customers to increase operating efficiencies, better understand and optimize their assets and reduce their costs, which is critically important in the current market environment.
We were faced with very challenging market conditions in the second quarter, including a significant reduction in completion activity and a land rig count in the United States that reached a 50+ year low in May and continued to decline through the quarter. The Canadian land rig count also reached a 50+ year low during the second quarter and activity in Canada did not begin to improve from the lows until mid-July, much later than is typically experienced upon the exit from Spring Break-up. As a result of the low level of customer activity, our revenue this quarter was lower by 78% as compared to last year’s second quarter and by 84% as compared to the first quarter of 2020.
NCS had several highlights during the quarter. We had a high level of service activity in the North Sea, we made significant progress in new product development initiatives that we believe will lower our costs and improve our market share, and our working capital management in the quarter allowed us to bolster our balance sheet. We have generated over $19 million in free cash flow through the first two quarters of 2020 and ended the quarter with $9.9 million more in cash than total debt. NCS made significant progress in further reducing our cost structure during the quarter as well, and we now expect that our SG&A for the full year 2020 will be more than $25 million lower than in 2019, a $5 million improvement as compared to the target we communicated last quarter.
While customer activity remains at low absolute levels, we have seen improvements in completions activity in the U.S. and an upturn in the Canadian rig count so far in the third quarter. We believe that the increase in activity, together with the full impact of our cost reduction initiatives, should position us to improve our profitability in the second half of the year as compared to the second quarter.
Even with this improving outlook, we will continue to evaluate market conditions and will take further action as necessary to attempt to further enhance our financial position to allow us to benefit from further improvements in industry activity.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating performance or which, in the case of an impairment and share-based compensation, are non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income is defined as net (loss) income attributable to NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance. Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share is defined as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of the purchase and development of software and technology) plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment, as presented in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Net working capital is defined as total current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus total current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt. Net working capital excludes cash and cash equivalents and current maturities of long-term debt to evaluate the investment in working capital required to support our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share are important measures that exclude costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, certain costs associated with our capital structure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation presents our financial performance in a manner that is comparable to the presentation provided by many of our peers. We believe free cash flow is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and other investment needs. We believe that net working capital is useful in analyzing the cash flow and working capital needs of the Company, including determining the efficiencies of our operations and our ability to readily convert assets into cash. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow and net working capital are key metrics that management uses to assess the period-to-period performance of our core business operations. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow enables investors to assess our performance from period to period using the same metrics utilized by management and that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share enable investors to evaluate our performance relative to other companies that are not subject to such factors.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net (Loss) Earnings per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow and net working capital (our “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), are not measures of net income, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial performance as reported under GAAP and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.
The tables below set forth reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under GAAP:
