HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2023 / Dril-Quip, Inc. (NYSE:DRQ), (the "Company" or "Dril-Quip"), a developer, manufacturer and provider of highly engineered equipment, service, and innovative technologies for use in the energy industry, today reported operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2023.

First Quarter Highlights

• Revenue of $90.9 million decreased 6% sequentially and increased 9% year-over-year
• Net Bookings of $53.5 million decreased 43% sequentially and 20% year-over-year
• Net Income of $2.3 million increased $2.6 million sequentially and $11.2 million year-over-year
• Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million improved from $3.2 million one year ago and decreased 15% sequentially
• Gross Margin of 28% decreased 333 basis points sequentially and increased 489 basis points year-over-year
• Closed on the sale of the Houston aftermarket facility during the first quarter, and on track for the sale of a third Houston property by the end of the fiscal year
• After quarter end, successfully completed the installation of two 15,000 psi HorizontalBore^TM Subsea Trees at the Woodside Shenzi North oil and gas field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
• Announcing reporting segment changes to present Subsea Products, Subsea Services and Well Construction in our quarterly SEC filings

"Our first quarter performance delivered strong revenue results that were driven by the ongoing upcycle in key offshore markets such as Brazil, the Middle East, Latin America, and some reemerging markets, for example, West Africa," said Jeff Bird, Dril-Quip's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Bookings came in well within the range we provided during the previous quarter and seasonally lower in the range as expected. We remain in a strong position due to accelerating master service agreement activity that we believe will help drive bookings growth throughout the remainder of the year."

"Our new organization is already showing signs of driving increased accountability and visibility and will ultimately lead to improved profitability as we focus investments and productivity on those product lines that deserve it most. We continue to advance our business realignment efforts and as a result, we have made the decision to change our reporting segments. We also believe this will allow our investors to better appreciate the relative impacts of our long-cycle, backlog-driven businesses like Subsea Products & Services and our short-cycle, book-and-bill businesses like Well Construction. As we look forward, we are confident in our ability to continue to make progress along our long-term financial, operational, and strategic objectives. Our focus remains on capital allocation as we support our organic and inorganic growth opportunities by taking a disciplined approach with a keen focus on driving attractive long-term returns on capital deployment. With our clean balance sheet and financial flexibility, we are in a strong position to drive long-term success, advance market share and overall profitability."

2023 Financial Outlook

• Revenue growth of 10%
• Bookings year-over-year growth of 10% to 20%
• Adjusted EBITDA incremental margins of 40% to 60%
• Capital Expenditures of $25 million to $30 million

Operational and Financial Results

Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Operating Margin

Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $90.9 million, down $5.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 and up $7.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in revenue sequentially was primarily driven by lower Subsea Product revenues in Europe and Asia Pacific reflecting the expected seasonality. Subsea Services and Well Construction revenues also declined slightly sequentially. The increase in revenue year-over-year can be attributed to increases across all product and service lines. Well Construction segment revenue increased 38% year-over-year to $20.8 million, Subsea Services segment revenue increased 10% year-over-year to $23.9 million and Subsea Products segment revenue was materially the same as prior year at $46.1 million.

Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2023 was $65.5 million, a decrease of $1.1 million sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross operating margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 27.9%, down from 31.2% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross margins decreased sequentially driven by unfavorable product line mix in Well Construction and lost leverage on lower revenue.

Selling, General, Administrative, and Engineering Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $22.6 million, a decrease of $4.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. SG&A decreased sequentially primarily due to the prior quarter's bad debt expense as well as some non-recurring taxes and bank fees. Engineering and product development expenses were $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2022. The sequential increase is attributed to increased testing and qualification activities related to specific international customer requirements.

Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million or $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $10.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA sequentially can be attributed to lower revenues and increased engineering activities related to specific international customer requirements.

Net cash used in operations was $52.9 million and free cash flow was a negative $58.3 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in net cash used by operations of $35.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by working capital timing relating to certain receivables, inventories and some restructuring related costs. The company expects working capital to normalize over the next two quarters and expects working capital to be neutral to positive during this period. Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") is expected to return to levels closer to Q4 2022 by Q3 2023 which the Company believes will generate approximately $40M of cash flow from operations relating to accounts receivables reduction. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2023 were $5.4 million, the majority of which was related to investments in manufacturing equipment and rental tools bound for work already secured.

Gainon sale of property, plant and equipment was approximately $6.6 million in the first quarter, primarily related to the sale of our Houston aftermarket building and obsolete machinery and equipment.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company did not make any share repurchases. The Company has approximately $103 million remaining of the current authorization by the Board of Directors. The Company continues to evaluate the amount and timing of its share repurchases as part of its overall capital allocation strategy.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are defined as net income (loss) and earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impact of foreign currency gains or losses as well as other significant non-cash items and certain charges and credits.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and credits.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures enable it to evaluate and compare more effectively the results of our operations period over period and identify operating trends by removing the effect of its capital structure from its operating structure. In addition, the Company believes that these measures are supplemental measurement tools used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance, ability to pursue and service possible debt opportunities and make future capital expenditures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow do not represent funds available for our discretionary use and are not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

See "Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information concerning non-GAAP financial information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information supplements and should be read together with, and is not an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial information is not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures.
