Newpark Resources Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results


THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $236.3 million compared to $227.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $183.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $10.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018, and $1.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017.

Paul Howes, Newpark's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We're very pleased to report another solid quarter, with both segments continuing to make meaningful strides in the execution of our long-term strategy. Consolidated revenues increased 4% sequentially to $236 million in the second quarter, driven by continued growth in the U.S. across both operating segments.

"In Fluids, second quarter revenues for the segment came in at $180 million, a 1% sequential improvement. Revenue gains in the U.S., including increases in both land and Gulf of Mexico activities, fully offset the seasonal impact of Spring break-up in Canada. International revenues also rose modestly, benefitting primarily from the Woodside project in offshore Australia," added Howes. "Meanwhile, we also made progress in our efforts to improve our Fluids operating margin, which increased to 7.4% in the second quarter, driven primarily by the impact of a strong sales mix in our international business, along with the increase in revenues.

"In the Mats business, we continue to see the benefits from our market diversification strategy, where revenues improved sequentially in both E&P and non-E&P market sectors. Second quarter Mats revenues came in at a quarterly record of $57 million, reflecting a 13% improvement from the first quarter, while operating margin improved to 26.3%. The sequential revenue gains reflect broad-based improvements across most targeted markets, both in the U.S. and Europe, as revenues remain evenly balanced between E&P and non-E&P end markets," added Howes. "In an effort to support our ongoing expansion into new markets, we've invested an additional $7 million during the second quarter to expand our mat rental fleet."

Segment Results

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $179.7 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $177.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $150.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. Segment operating income was $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2017.

The Mats and Integrated Services segment generated revenues of $56.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $49.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. Segment operating income was $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Newpark Resources, Inc.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)

To help understand the Company's financial performance, the Company has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with non-GAAP financial measures. Such financial measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and/or that of other companies in our industry. In addition, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance, and our incentive compensation plan measures performance based on our consolidated EBITDA, along with other factors. The methods we use to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
