Insights

The report detailing Newpark Resources' first-quarter 2024 financial results showcases a mixed financial landscape. Although net income has risen by $7.3 million, representing a healthy 30% growth, this is against the backdrop of declining revenues from $200.0 million to $169.1 million. This revenue contraction must be understood within the context of the broader industry and economy—whether it's a sign of a cyclical downturn or a company-specific issue.

On the positive side, the company has managed to improve its Adjusted EBITDA margins significantly, which suggests a strong cost control strategy. The Net Leverage ratio standing at 0.5x showcases a conservative debt stance. It is important for investors to monitor whether these margin improvements can be maintained in the face of shrinking top-line figures.

The strategic pivot that Newpark is undertaking towards becoming a 'pure-play specialty rental business' is indicative of a proactive shift in the company's focus. With the Industrial Solutions segment showing robust Adjusted EBITDA margin growth, it seems the strategy is already bearing fruit. The increase in rental demand and subsequent fleet expansion suggests Newpark is effectively tapping into growing market segments, which could position them well for future growth.

However, the decline in the company's Fluids Systems segment revenues needs to be scrutinized for potential long-term implications. The ongoing strategic review of this segment and its eventual conclusion will likely be a pivotal moment for the company and its stakeholders. The outcome will reveal not only the future direction of Newpark but also how it may influence the investment community's sentiment.

The details concerning operational efficiency, particularly the streamlining of overheads resulting in $3 million in annual cost savings, demonstrate Newpark's commitment to lean operation, which is imperative in a competitive industry. From an industry perspective, the focus on operational excellence is paramount, especially when facing a challenging market where profitability can be squeezed from both ends—revenue decline and cost pressures.

Understanding the industry-specific details, like the difference between Adjusted EBITDA and net income, is critical for investors. Adjusted EBITDA offers a view of the company's operational efficiency by excluding non-recurring expenses, indicating a company's ongoing profitability.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Early into 2024, we've continued to advance our multi-year value creation strategy as we position Newpark to become a market-leading, pure-play specialty rental business serving the global worksite access market," stated Matthew Lanigan, President and CEO of Newpark. "Our focus on asset optimization, operational excellence and returns-focused capital deployment contributed to 210 basis points of Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the first quarter, including contributions from both our Industrial Solutions and Fluids Systems segments as well as our corporate office."

"Within our Industrial Solutions business, our first quarter performance reflects a combination of improved operating leverage and a more favorable sales mix, resulting in segment EBITDA margin of nearly 37%, an increase of 150 basis points versus the prior-year period," continued Lanigan. "While segment revenue declined versus the prior-year period due to the timing of product sales supporting customer projects, rental demand conditions strengthened as the quarter progressed, with rental volumes reaching record levels entering the second quarter. We also continued to expand our rental fleet during the first quarter, positioning us to capitalize on strengthening demand conditions."

"Within our Fluids Systems business, a combination of stronger international activity, together with the benefits of recent cost actions, contributed to 120 basis points of EBITDA margin expansion," continued Lanigan. "Our revenues from international operations increased 19% versus the prior year, supported by strong growth from both our Eastern Hemisphere and Canadian operations."

"We are continuing to work diligently through the Fluids Systems strategic review and remain focused on having the process substantially concluded by mid-year 2024," noted Lanigan. "By simplifying our business, and focusing exclusively on worksite access industrial solutions, we intend to build a higher margin, more competitive business capable of delivering superior returns on invested capital through the cycle."

BUSINESS UPDATE

Newpark is engaged in a multi-year business transformation plan designed to drive organic commercial growth within targeted, higher-margin product and rental markets; improve asset optimization and organizational efficiency; and pursue a capital allocation strategy that prioritizes investments in opportunities with superior return profiles, together with a programmatic return of capital program.

During the first quarter 2024, Newpark continued to deliver on its business transformation plan, highlighted by the following (all comparisons versus the prior year period unless otherwise noted):

  • Accelerating worksite access solutions demand entering the second quarter 2024. Industrial Solutions revenue from specialty rental and services decreased 3% for the first quarter of 2024, as declines from oil and gas, pipeline and other sectors was partially offset by 7% revenue growth in the utilities sector. Following a subdued start to 2024, rental and service activity strengthened later in the first quarter, setting up for a strong second quarter.
  • Fluids Systems segment continues momentum in international operations. The segment delivered strong international revenue growth in the first quarter of 2024, with international operations contributing 75% of Fluids Systems revenue in the quarter. Newpark's Eastern Hemisphere revenue increased 24% to $68 million and Canada increased 10% to $21 million.
  • Delivered margin expansion across reporting segments. Consolidated gross margin increased 280 basis points year-over-year to 20.4%, benefitting from a higher contribution from Industrial Solutions and improving Fluids Systems fundamentals. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 210 basis points to 12.6% in the first quarter of 2024. Both reporting segments delivered margin expansion compared to the prior year period, with Industrial Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 150 basis points to 36.8%, and Fluids Systems segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 120 basis points to 7.2%. Margin expansion was attributable to a combination of improved asset optimization and operating expense leverage in Industrial Solutions, along with the positive impacts of improved pricing and restructuring actions in Fluids Systems.
  • Robust return of capital program. In February 2024, the Board of Directors increased the authorization for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million. In 2023, Newpark repurchased more than $30 million of its common equity, representing more than 7% of total shares outstanding. No share repurchases were made in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Driving operational efficiency through streamlining efforts. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company continued to take actions to streamline our overhead structure across both segments and the corporate office, generating approximately $3 million in annual cost savings.
  • Strategic Review of Fluids Process Underway. The Company remains actively engaged in a strategic review of its Fluids Systems segment and anticipates the review will be substantially completed by mid-year 2024.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In the first quarter 2024, Newpark generated net income of $7.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, on total revenue of $169.1 million, compared to net income of $5.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, on total revenue of $200.0 million, in the prior year period.

The Company reported first quarter Adjusted Net Income of $8.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $8.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Newpark reported Adjusted EBITDA of $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, or 12.6% of total revenue, compared to $21.0 million, or 10.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2023.

Segment operating income was $12.9 million in the first quarter, compared to $14.5 million in the prior year period.

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $120.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $144.2 million in the prior year period. Segment operating income was $6.8 million in the first quarter, compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. The first quarter 2024 Fluids Systems segment operating income includes $0.8 million in severance costs and transaction expenses related to the ongoing Fluids Systems segment sale process, offset by a $0.8 million gain on insurance recovery. The first quarter 2023 Fluids Systems segment operating results included $3.2 million in charges primarily related to facility exit and severance costs.

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 Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt, and Net Leverage.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and liquidity with that of other companies in our industry. Management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, liquidity and capital structure. In addition, 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.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The following tables reconcile the Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
