HOUSTON, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RigNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNET, the "Company"), a leading provider of ultra-secure, intelligent networking solutions and specialized applications, announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

  • Third quarter 2020 revenue of $48.7 million, net loss of $5.5 million or $0.25 per share
  • Revenue decreased by 8.7% to $48.7 million compared to prior quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 22.3% to $7.5 million compared to prior quarter
  • Managed Communications Services (MCS) Sites served decreased 3.2% to 1,190 compared to the prior quarter
  • System Integration project backlog of $12.4 million

"RigNet's gross margin grew in the third quarter even as our customers continued to battle the impact of reduced commodity demand due to COVID-19," said Steven Pickett, Chief Executive Officer and President. "We continue to see robust interest in our solutions across our segments and delivered some needle-moving wins in our core MCS business that will begin to add revenue late this year and reach full contribution in the second quarter of 2021. Our strategy of moving "up the stack" is paying off and our ongoing investment in Apps & IoT has differentiated RigNet from our competitors, enabling us to increase market share both in offshore drilling rigs and Floating Production, Storage, and Offtake vessels. We continue to show operational discipline by maintaining tight controls over both operating and back-office costs, as well as capital spending."

Quarterly revenue was $48.7 million, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 8.7%, compared to $53.4 million in the prior quarter and a decrease of $12.3 million, or 20.1%, compared to $61.0 million in the third quarter 2019. Compared to the second quarter 2020, Managed Communications Services (MCS) revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 6.4%, due to a decrease in site count and new site delays compared to prior quarter. Apps & IoT revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 5.0%, primarily due to lower bandwidth usage in IoT. Systems Integration (SI) revenue decreased by $2.0 million, or 19.5%, primarily due to the timing of projects. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, MCS revenue decreased by $10.1 million compared to third quarter 2019 due to decreased site counts including rig stacking, and lower equipment sales. Apps & IoT revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 9.7%, primarily due to lower equipment sales and bandwidth usage in IoT. SI revenue decreased by $1.3 million or 13.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to differences in the timing on certain projects. 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2020 was $5.5 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.3 million, or $0.21 per share, in the second quarter of 2020 and net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. The net loss in the third quarter of 2020 included a one-time, non-cash impairment charge on certain intangible assets of $3.8 million. Excluding this charge, net loss in the third quarter of 2020 was $1.7 million or $0.08 per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled to GAAP net loss (as described below), was $7.5 million, a decrease of 22.3% compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 31.6% compared to $11.0 million  in the third quarter of 2019.

Capital expenditures for the three months ending September 30, 2020 totaled $2.0 million compared to $3.1 million for the three months ending June 30, 2020 and $5.9 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2019.

The new contract expands the already existing services which include RigNet's machine learning platform, Intelie, and other over the top applications, intelligence, and network security solutions that enable the digital transformation of business operations across the energy value chain, including in some of the harshest offshore environments imaginable.

Also, in October 2020, RigNet secured a multi-year contract to significantly expand existing MCS services with a premier operator of Floating Production, Storage, and Offtake (FPSO) vessels whereby RigNet will provide a fully managed end-to-end architecture of satellite and terrestrial networks.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. Opinions, expectations with respect to conditions in the oil and gas industry, customer perceptions of value, entry into new customer contracts, growth prospects, and the one-time nature charges are examples of forward-looking statements in this press release. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact.  In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, including the expected benefits of acquiring and integrating other businesses, and often contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "will," "expect," "plan" or other similar words. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those risks set forth in Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Company's most recent 10-K filing, and Item 1A- Risk Factors of the Company's 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on Monday, May 11, 2020, and ultimately may not prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. For further discussion of risks and uncertainties, individuals should refer to RigNet's SEC filings. RigNet undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after this press release.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

This press release contains the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA, a measure we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure to evaluate overall operating performance and is an integral component of financial covenant ratios in our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We refer you to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on Wednesday, March 11th, 2020, for a more detailed discussion of the uses and limitations of Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment; (gain) loss on sales of property, plant and equipment, net of retirements; change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration; stock-based compensation; mergers and acquisitions costs; executive departure costs; restructuring charges; the GX dispute; the GX dispute Phase II costs, one-time costs directly related to COVID-19 pandemic one-time costs directly related to COVID-19 pandemic, such as costs associated with cleaning, testing, quarantine of employees, and modifications to our Gulf of Mexico microwave network, and non-recurring items

A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is found in the table below.
