HOUSTON, May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 construction, well completions and field development strategies, today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Financial Review
Total revenues were $39.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which was an increase of 37% compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase reflected higher product sales and services volumes in Canada and the United States as well as higher international services volumes, partially offset by lower pricing for certain products and services. We believe the overall increase in revenues largely resulted from higher industry drilling and completion activity in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021, particularly in North America, attributed primarily to higher oil and natural gas demand and more favorable commodity prices. Total revenues increased by 8% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 with an increase of 32% in Canada partially offset by decreases of 10% in the United States and 67% in international markets.
Gross profit, which we define as total revenues less total cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $14.9 million, or 38% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $10.2 million, or 36% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues declined due to an increase in revenue, which resulted in higher utilization of manufacturing capacity and field service personnel. This improvement was partially offset by lower pricing for certain products and services and increased costs impacting our supply chain, including raw materials, purchased materials, labor costs and outsourced service activity.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses totaled $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2021. This overall increase in expense reflects increased compensation and benefits primarily due to the reinstatement of certain salaries in mid-2021, salary increases implemented during the first quarter of 2022, and the restoration of employer matching contributions in 2022. In addition, professional fees, primarily related to litigation matters, were higher year-over-year.
Net loss was $(1.5) million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which included a net impact of $0.3 million (after tax effect of $0.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share) related to a net foreign currency exchange gain and tax effects primarily associated with changes in valuation allowances. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items, was $(2.3) million, or $(0.93) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net loss was $(3.4) million, or $(1.43) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, which included a net impact of $0.2 million (after tax effect of $(0.6) million, or $(0.25) per diluted share) related to net foreign currency exchange gain and income tax valuation allowances recorded to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items, was $(2.8) million, or $(1.18) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a $2.2 million improvement as compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity
NCS incurred capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, NCS had $15.5 million in cash and $8.0 million in total debt. The borrowing base under our senior secured credit facility as of March 31, 2022 was $17.5 million. Our net working capital, which we define as current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt, was $55.0 million as of March 31, 2022.
On May 3, 2022, we entered into a new $35.0 million secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”). Total borrowings available to the borrowers under the ABL Facility may be limited subject to a borrowing base calculated on the sum of cash in a specified pledged account, eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, provided it does not include credit for assets of Repeat Precision, LLC (“Repeat Precision”). Concurrent with entering into the ABL Facility, we terminated our prior amended credit agreement as well as the prior senior secured credit facility arising thereunder. Our borrowing base under the ABL Facility on the date we entered into the facility was $19.7 million. The ABL Facility will mature on May 3, 2027.
Review and Outlook
NCS’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Nipper commented, “The strong performance of our Canadian operations allowed NCS to grow total revenue for the quarter by 37% as compared to the first quarter of 2021 and by 8% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, despite lower seasonal activity in international markets and a slower-than-anticipated resumption of completion activity in the U.S. early in the quarter.
The increased activity allowed us to increase our gross margin percentage for the quarter, as compared to the first quarter of 2021, despite the inflation that we have experienced in all aspects of our business, and especially in our supply chain.
Free cash flow for the quarter of $(6.2) million was primarily a result of an increase in net working capital during the quarter of $7.0 million, reflecting an increase in accounts receivable driven by our sequential improvement in revenue and the payment of accrued bonuses and cash-settled long-term incentive awards during the quarter.
We have sustained our strong balance sheet, ending the first quarter with a net cash position of $7.6 million. We entered a new five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in early May, which we believe provides us with additional financial flexibility as compared to the prior facility, which was scheduled to mature in May 2023.
Market conditions remain strong, supported by robust commodity pricing for both oil and natural gas. We expect sequential improvements in revenue in our U.S. and international operations during the second quarter. While we expect our revenue in Canada to decline in the second quarter, consistent with seasonal patterns in that market, we are encouraged by conversations with customers that indicate potential increase in activity in the second half of 2022 as compared to initial budgets.
This positive activity outlook continues to be tempered by the inflationary environment we are facing with respect to labor costs and our supply chain. We are actively engaged in pricing conversations with our customers and have been successful in negotiating pricing increases in many circumstances, however the benefits of this more favorable pricing continue to lag the impact of increased costs, which we expect to negatively impact our gross margin in the second quarter.
I continue to be excited about our business and the opportunities for NCS in 2022. I want to express my thanks to the team at NCS and at Repeat Precision – it is through the expertise, dedication and ingenuity of our people that we can deliver value to our customers, drive innovation in the industry and to create value for our shareholders.”
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, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital are non-GAAP financial measures.

(In thousands, except per share data)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 share-based compensation, is 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. We define free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest as free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest, as presented in the net cash used in financing activities section of our consolidated statements 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 in order 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 free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest 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, other investment needs, and cash distributions to our joint venture partner. 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, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest 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 these metrics enables investors to assess our performance from period to period using the same metrics utilized by management and 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, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest 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.
