SUGAR LAND, Texas, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI) (“TEAM” or the “Company”), a global leading provider of integrated, digitally-enabled asset performance assurance and optimization solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Results1:

• Announced the closing of the sale of its Quest Integrity business to Baker Hughes on November 1, 2022 for cash of approximately $279.0 million, reflecting certain estimated post-closing adjustments, allowing for a significant term debt paydown and materially improving liquidity to approximately $83 million as of November 4, 2022. In connection with the sale, the operating results of Quest Integrity have been reclassified to discontinued operations for periods presented.
• Increased third quarter 2022 revenues by 10% to $218.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2021.
• Grew gross margin by 26% to $56.0 million (25.7% of revenues), from $44.5 million (22.5% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2021.
• Reported GAAP net loss from our continuing operations was $26.6 million
• Generated consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $10.6 million, up $11.9 million from the third quarter of 2021.
  

1   Unless otherwise specified, the financial information and discussion in this earnings release is based on the Company’s continuing operations (IHT and MS segments) and excludes results of its discontinued operations (Quest Integrity).
     
“For the third quarter, combined revenue from our core Inspection and Heat Treating (IHT) and Mechanical Services (MS) segments grew more than 10% over the prior year, as both segments benefited from higher activity levels and favorable project mix,” said Keith D. Tucker, TEAM’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. “While we continue to contend with inflationary cost pressure in both our supply chain and with labor costs, we are seeing benefits from the steps taken to date to reduce costs and increase margins. To that end, our third quarter gross margin improved to 25.7% of revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA was up significantly over the prior year. As part of our ongoing review of our cost structure, we have actioned additional cost reductions in October and identified incremental structural and operational opportunities to further reduce costs and improve our margins without impacting our ability to safely deliver world class service to our customers. We expect to realize the benefits from these actions as we move through the fourth quarter and into 2023.”

“With respect to the sale of Quest Integrity, our smallest segment in terms of revenue, we received an attractive valuation resulting in net cash proceeds allowing for a significant term debt paydown that reduced our senior term loan balance to $36 million and our gross outstanding debt by almost 47%, as well as materially improved our liquidity. The closing of the sale represented a significant milestone in our efforts to deleverage the Company’s balance sheet and simplify our operations while also demonstrating the significant intrinsic value of the Company’s assets.”

“Looking ahead, we believe stronger industry activity, coupled with the Company’s growing operating and financial momentum, will position TEAM to continue the positive trend in revenue and margins into 2023. While we are pleased with the Company’s progress to date, there is more work to do to improve margins and cash flow and simplify our operating structure in order to fully capitalize on the Company’s extensive technical capabilities and strong market position. Finally, we expect to present our progress on our longer-term commercial, operational, and balance sheet improvement plans in greater detail in 2023” concluded Tucker.

Financial Results

As noted above, on November 1, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the sale of its Quest Integrity business. Financial information, performance metrics and discussions for periods presented are based on the Company’s continuing operations (IHT and MS segments) and excludes results of discontinued operations (Quest Integrity) except where stated otherwise.

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $218.3 million, an increase of 10.3% from $197.9 million in the prior year quarter. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange movements reduced third quarter 2022 consolidated revenue by approximately $5.0 million, or 2%. In the third quarter of 2022, consolidated gross margin was $56.0 million, or 25.7%, compared to $44.5 million, or 22.5%, in the same quarter a year ago. Gross margin was positively impacted by direct margin improvement and lower indirect costs as a percent of revenue attributable to the Company’s ongoing expense reduction program, improved pricing and favorable project mix.

Selling general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $57.7 million, down $2.7 million, or 4.5%, from the third quarter of 2021. Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 included charges not representative of TEAM’s ongoing operations of $2.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The 2022 third quarter included professional fees of $0.5 million, legal charges and fees of $1.5 million and severance charges of $0.7 million, while the 2021 third quarter included professional fees of $1.3 million, legal charges and fees of $2.7 million and severance charges of $0.4 million. The Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBIT from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was income of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, a significant improvement compared to a loss of $11.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Consolidated net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $26.6 million ($0.62 loss per share) compared to a loss of $90.4 million ($2.92 loss per share) in the third quarter of 2021. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $11.9 million as compared to a negative $1.3 million for the prior year quarter. The year-over-year improvement in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is attributed to higher revenues and lower operating expense incurred during the quarter and improved operating income in IHT and MS segments as well as lower expenses at the Company’s corporate and shared support services segment as a result of the Company’s ongoing expense reduction program.

Adjusted net loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items that are not indicative of TEAM’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented at the end of this earnings release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

___________________

1   NM - Not meaningful
2   Operating income (loss) for MS for the three months ended September 30, 2021 includes a $55.8 million goodwill impairment charge.

IHT’s year-over-year revenue increased 8.7%, primarily driven by higher turnaround, callout and nested activity in U.S. and Canada markets. IHT’s operating income increased 141% year-over-year and benefited from higher activity and improved revenue realization, as well as the Company’s ongoing expense reduction initiatives.

MS’s revenue grew by 12.1% year-over-year due to higher activity in the Company’s US and Latin America operations related to leak repair, hot tapping and the Company’s domestic valves business, partially offset by lower activity in the United Kingdom due to non-repeating project work in the 2021 period. After adjusting 2021 third quarter operating income for a $55.8 million noncash goodwill impairment charge that did not repeat in 2022, the increase in 2022 operating income was approximately $5.1 million. The improvement was primarily due to the factors noted above as well as realized cost improvements in the Company’s equipment centers, manufacturing and engineering functions.

Liquidity

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $56.4 million at September 30, 2022, of which $25.7 million was restricted mainly as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. Additionally, the Company had approximately $20.5 million in undrawn availability under its various credit facilities at September 30, 2022. The Company’s gross debt and finance obligations were $511.2 million, of which $506.4 million was classified as current at September 30, 2022, compared to gross debt of $405.9 million at December 31, 2021.

On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Quest Integrity business to Baker Hughes for cash proceeds of approximately $279.0 million, reflecting certain estimated post-closing adjustments. The net proceeds to the Company (after payment of transaction related expenses and certain other fees) were approximately $270 million. The Company used approximately $238 million of the proceeds to pay down term debt and to pay certain fees associated with that repayment and related accrued interest, with the remainder reserved for general corporate purposes. As of November 4, 2022, the Company had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $76.0 million, of which $6.8 million was restricted mainly as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and approximately $13.7 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities, resulting in total liquidity of $82.9 million.

Quarterly Earnings Conference Call

The Company will not host an earnings call this quarter due to its previously announced strategic review process and ongoing execution of its operational and financial turnaround plan.

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

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the condensed 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBIT to exclude the following items: costs associated with our past integration and transformation program, costs associated with the Company’s new strategic organizational structure implemented in January 2021 (“Operating Group Reorganization”), non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities. Consolidated adjusted EBIT, as defined by us, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA further excludes from consolidated adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation costs. Segment adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with our past integration and transformation program, costs associated with the Operating Group Reorganization, non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA further excludes from segment 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. Net debt is defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of debt, including finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, consolidated adjusted EBIT, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance which are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Our segment adjusted EBIT and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as a basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by our management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to stakeholders.

Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, 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. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
