THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) (“ChampionX” or the “Company”) today announced third quarter of 2023 results. Revenue was $939.8 million, net income attributable to ChampionX was $77.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $189.5 million. Income before income taxes margin was 11.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.2%. Cash from operating activities was $163.0 million and free cash flow was $114.6 million.

CEO Commentary

“We delivered adjusted EBITDA growth and robust free cash flow generation during the third quarter and once again demonstrated our commitment to return excess cash to our shareholders through our regular cash dividend and share repurchases. Our ongoing focus on price realization and productivity contributed to strong year-over-year profitability improvement. We remain focused on shareholder value creation and our disciplined framework of capital allocation. I am grateful to our employees around the world for their tireless dedication to serving our customers and communities well,” ChampionX’s President and Chief Executive Officer Sivasankaran “Soma” Somasundaram said.

“During the third quarter of 2023, we generated revenue of $940 million, which decreased 8% year-over-year, and increased 1% sequentially. Both North America and international revenue increased sequentially, led by our Production Chemical Technologies business. Strong sequential growth in international and offshore markets was largely offset by lower than expected drilling and completions activity in U.S. land, which impacted Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies revenues during the period. We generated net income attributable to ChampionX of $78 million, which increased 237% year-over-year and decreased 19% sequentially, and adjusted EBITDA of $190 million, which increased 14% year-over-year and 2% sequentially and included approximately $7 million of foreign exchange loss related to the devaluation of our peso exposure in Argentina during the period. Our income before income taxes margin improved by approximately 802 basis points year-over-year and was flat sequentially, and our adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by approximately 391 basis points year-over-year and 7 basis points sequentially in the third quarter.

“Cash flow from operating activities was $163 million during the third quarter, which represented 210% of net income attributable to ChampionX, and we generated strong free cash flow of $115 million during the period, which represented 60% of our adjusted EBITDA for the period. Through our regular cash dividend of $17 million and $68 million of ChampionX share repurchases, we returned 52% of cash from operating activities and 74% of our free cash flow in the third quarter to our shareholders. Our balance sheet and financial position remain strong, ending the third quarter with $954 million of liquidity, including $285 million of cash and $669 million of available capacity on our revolving credit facility.

“As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect continued positive momentum in our international and offshore businesses, offset by seasonal declines in our North American businesses into the year-end holidays. We expect our Drilling Technologies business to experience a sequential revenue decline similar to the fourth quarter of 2022 as some of our customers act to manage their working capital into year end. On a consolidated basis, in the fourth quarter, we expect revenue to be between $930 million and $970 million. We expect adjusted EBITDA of $187 million to $197 million. Our cash generation remains strong, and for the full year, we still expect to convert at least 50% of our adjusted EBITDA to free cash flow, and we remain committed to returning at least 60% of our free cash flow to our shareholders for the year.

“As we look into 2024 and beyond, we remain excited about the constructive market fundamentals as the oil and gas industry is benefiting from a multi-year growth cycle. As the leading provider of production optimization solutions for the industry, we are well positioned to benefit from this trend as the growth cycle unfolds. We expect continued revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth, margin expansion, and strong capital returns consistent with our capital allocation framework.”

Production Chemical Technologies

Production Chemical Technologies revenue in the third quarter of 2023 was $604.3 million, an increase of $30.0 million, or 5%, sequentially, due to higher demand both in North America and internationally.

Segment operating profit margin was 15.6%, an increase of 47 basis points, sequentially, and adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 20.7%, an increase of 37 basis points, sequentially. The increase in segment operating profit margin and adjusted segment EBITDA margin reflects higher sales volumes, offset by $7.2 million of foreign exchange loss related to the devaluation of our peso exposure in Argentina during the period.

About Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to ChampionX and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ChampionX, provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. In addition, free cash flow, free cash flow to adjusted EBITDA ratio, and free cash flow to revenue ratio provide useful information to investors because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. In addition, these measures are used by management to measure our ability to generate positive cash flow for debt reduction and to support our strategic objectives. Although management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating ChampionX’s overall financial performance, the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

This press release contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. The Company has not provided projected net income attributable to ChampionX or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA. Management cannot predict with a reasonable degree of accuracy certain of the necessary components of net income attributable to ChampionX, such as depreciation and amortization expense. As such, a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income attributable to ChampionX is not available without unreasonable effort. The actual amount of depreciation and amortization, in particular, and other amounts excluded from adjusted EBITDA will have a significant impact on net income attributable to ChampionX.
