HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Expro Group Holdings N.V. (NYSE: XPRO) (the “Company” or “Expro”) today reported financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Revenue was $314 million compared to revenue of $280 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $34 million, or 12%, driven by higher activity across the North and Latin America (NLA), Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) segments.
• Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income¹ for the second quarter of 2022 was $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022 of $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the second and first quarters of 2022 include foreign exchange gains (losses) of $(5) million and $3 million, respectively, or $(0.05) and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $51 million, a sequential increase of $14 million, or 39%, primarily driven by higher activity during the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ for the second quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2022 was 16% and 13%, respectively.
• Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2022 was $2 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(14) million for the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting an improvement in operating results and lower integration costs, partially offset by an increase in working capital. Adjusted cash flow from operations¹ for the second quarter of 2022 was $10 million compared to $(1) million for the first quarter of 2022. The buildup in working capital in the first half of 2022 is consistent with historical patterns and is expected to reverse in the second half of the year. Consequently, Adjusted cash flow from operations is expected to improve in the second half of the year.
• The Company's Board of Directors authorized a $50 million stock repurchase program. During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares at an average price of $11.81 per share, for a total cost of $13.0 million under this program.

^{1. A non-GAAP measure}

Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Expro delivered robust operational performance and encouraging financial results in the second quarter. The breadth of our portfolio and depth of our expertise brings value to clients across the life of their wells, and enables us to compete and win on a worldwide basis.

“Our Well Construction team continued to demonstrate their position as the premier provider of casing and tubular running services with the award of key contracts in Thailand and Algeria, and across North and Latin America. These important wins are the result of our ability to seamlessly leverage cost-effective, innovative solutions, including proprietary technologies such as iCAM^®, iTong^™, and Centri-FI^™, across Expro’s global operating footprint.

“Within our well intervention and integrity business, we are also introducing new technologies at pace, with CoilHose^™ and Octopoda^™ among those achieving market adoption in support of clients’ needs. Both technologies have been integrated into our services offering to provide a wider range of technical solutions and capture a wider scope of customer contracts.

“Service quality also continues to play a major role in capturing and retaining contracts across our regions, and our teams have received recognition from key clients for outstanding performances in safety, service delivery and overall quality.

“Looking forward, the positive signs of a recovery we saw in the first quarter continue to gain momentum. After multiple years of limited upstream investment, there is a need to replace produced reserves and increase capacity to meet projected demand growth. A heightened focus on energy security and diversification of supply, the potential structural loss of Russian barrels, and the need for cost-effective solutions to facilitate the energy transition also support a strengthened multi-year outlook for energy services.

“For Expro, we are seeing increased demand for our services and solutions as the recovery that began within the U.S. onshore market has begun to gain traction in the offshore and international markets. In ESSA, there is an increased focus on North Sea operations and optimizing production from existing assets, which are core areas of Expro’s expertise. Strong signals also indicate increases in drilling activity in NLA, MENA and APAC in the second half of 2022 and beyond, which aligns well with Expro’s strengths in complex well construction, well testing and subsea well completions.

“We remain confident that the pipeline of projects we are seeing will support strong, multi-year growth for the energy services sector, and firmly believe Expro is uniquely positioned to serve our customers in the current market through our leading and differentiated technology portfolio and the depth of our expertise.

“We also continue to make progress in bringing the legacy Frank’s and Expro’s businesses together to capture the full potential of our combined platform while achieving cost savings and expanding margins. This is evidenced by an $8 million, or 10%, net reduction in support costs in the current quarter as compared to the combined support costs for Frank’s and Legacy Expro for the fourth quarter of 2020, the last full quarter prior to the announcement of the Merger. Importantly, support cost savings to date (approximately $30 million annualized), together with purchasing economies, rationalizing vendors, and other reductions in direct costs, have allowed the Company to offset activity-based cost increases and inflation and improve its operating leverage.

“As a citizen of the world, Expro is committed to transforming our business portfolio and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As reported last quarter, we recently published our inaugural environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) review, with a stated aim of achieving Net Zero by 2050 with a 50% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030. As recognized global well experts and a trusted partner to clients across the energy industry, Expro is well positioned to help our clients achieve their carbon reduction goals in support of the energy transition.

“The most notable progress in the second quarter in this regard is the commencement of a contract for our first integrated services package to support a high-profile geothermal power plant in the Upper Rhine Graben area of southwest Germany. We remain focused on developing the next generation of solutions for the emerging new energy segments, including geothermal.

“Finally, we believe Expro is a compelling investment, as demonstrated by our recently announced stock repurchase program. We will continue to execute our strategy and deliver sustainable value to our customers, shareholders, and other stakeholders.”

Notable Awards and Achievements

Expro's Well Construction team secured Tubular Running Services (“TRS”) contracts in Brunei, Thailand, Malaysia, China and Japan. The team successfully completed a first Casing Running Tool project in Brazil and carried out eight simultaneous TRS deepwater completions in the Gulf of Mexico, where activity continues to strengthen.

In the ESSA region, Expro retained the largest well flow management contract in the Norwegian Continental Shelf for an initial four-year term. Part of the contract is linked to production optimization and enhancement, as well as a demonstrable commitment to a low carbon plan.

Building on our first quarter acquisition of leading Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (“DFOS”) company SolaSense, we have demonstrated our enhanced ability to deliver valuable well data to allow clients to make informed well performance and well integrity decisions. In the second quarter, we supported a client who had been unable to gather production logging tool data from a high-pressure, high-temperature, high gas rate field since the start of production over three years ago. Through DFOS deployment, we were able to acquire and provide valuable distributed acoustic and sensing data under multi-rate flowing conditions, allowing the client to gain production profiles for the first time ever in this field.

Broadening our extensive service and technology offering in Angola, Expro introduced Drill Stem Testing and hammering services into the country, positioning the business to take advantage of the increasing activity in deepwater operations in Angola.

Segment Results

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the second quarter of 2022 to the results for the first quarter of 2022.

North and Latin America (NLA)

NLA revenue totaled $130 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $26 million, or 25%, compared to $104 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues across all of our product lines during the current quarter, with a significant increase in well flow management services revenue in Mexico and higher well construction revenue in the U.S. and Guyana, driven by higher customer activities during the current quarter.

NLA Segment EBITDA was $39 million, or 30% of segment revenue, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $22 million, or 21% of segment revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $17 million was attributable to higher activity and a more favorable activity mix during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)

ESSA revenue totaled $90 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $82 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $8 million. The sequential increase of 10% was primarily driven by higher well flow management revenue in Angola and Congo and higher well construction revenue in the United Kingdom due to increased customer activities. The increase in revenues was partially offset by lower well intervention and integrity revenue in Norway and Western Europe.

ESSA Segment EBITDA during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $15 million, or 16% of segment revenue, compared to $12 million, or 14% of segment revenue, in the prior quarter. The increase of $3 million was primarily attributable to higher activity levels and a more favorable activity mix during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

MENA revenue totaled $45 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The sequential decrease in revenue of $6 million, or 11%, was driven by lower equipment sales related to well flow management in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, partially offset by increased well flow management activities in Algeria.

MENA Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $14 million compared to $15 million in the prior quarter. Segment EBITDA margin was consistent with the prior quarter at 30%. The reduction in Segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower activity during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Asia Pacific (APAC)

APAC revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $48 million compared to $44 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $4 million. The 11% increase in revenue was primarily due to higher subsea well access revenue in Australia and Brunei and higher well construction revenue in Japan. The increase in revenue was partially offset by lower well flow management revenue in Thailand and India.

APAC Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $4 million, or 9% of segment revenue, compared to $5 million, or 12% of segment revenue, in the prior quarter. The reduction in Segment EBITDA despite the increase in revenues was primarily due to additional mobilization costs and commissioning incurred during the quarter as well as lower activity on higher margin contracts.

Stock Repurchase Plan

On June 16, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a new stock repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to acquire up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock through November 24, 2023 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the Stock Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Stock Repurchase Program will be utilized at management’s discretion and in accordance with federal securities laws. The timing and actual numbers of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate requirements, the constraints specified in the Stock Repurchase Program along with general business and market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it could be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares at an average price of $11.81 per share, for a total cost of $13.0 million under this $50.0 million program.

Other Financial Information

On March 10, 2021, Frank’s International N.V. (“Frank’s”) and New Eagle Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Frank’s (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Expro Group Holdings International Limited (“Legacy Expro”), an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, providing for the merger of Legacy Expro with and into Merger Sub in an all-stock transaction, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Frank’s (the “Merger”). The Merger closed on October 1, 2021, and Frank's was renamed to Expro Group Holdings N.V.

The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $21 million in the second quarter of 2022. Expro plans for capital expenditures in the range of approximately $60 million to $70 million for the second half of 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, Expro’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, totaled $179 million. The Company had no outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022 and has no outstanding debt today. The Company’s total liquidity as of June 30, 2022 was $309 million. Total liquidity includes $130 million available for drawdowns as loans under the Company’s revolving credit facility entered into in connection with the Merger.

Expro’s provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2022 was $10 million compared to $5 million in the prior quarter. The sequential change in income taxes was primarily due to changes in taxable profits in certain jurisdictions, in particular increased taxable profits in Latin America, deferred tax credits recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, in particular in APAC, that did not recur during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and deferred tax charges recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily in MENA. The Company’s GAAP basis effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 also reflects liability for taxes in certain jurisdictions that tax on an other than pre-tax profits basis, including so-called “deemed profits” regimes.

The financial measures provided that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations, cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes these metrics provide additional information relative to the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period and to compare such performance with the performance of other publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations, cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted cash flow from operations, cash conversion, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for (a) income tax expense, (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) severance and other expense, (d) merger and integration expense, (e) gain on disposal of assets, (f) other income, net, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) foreign exchange (gains) losses and (i) interest and finance (income) expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Contribution is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted for indirect support costs and stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue. Contribution margin is defined as contribution divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Support costs is defined as indirect costs attributable to supporting the activities of the operating segments, research and engineering expenses and product line management costs included in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, and general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, which represent costs of running the corporate head office and other central functions, including logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety, and does not include foreign exchange gains or losses and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted cash flow from operations is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities adjusted for cash paid during the period for interest, net, severance and other expense and merger and integration expense. Cash conversion is defined as Adjusted cash flow from operations divided by Adjusted EBITDA, expressed as a percentage.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net loss before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items. The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share as net loss per diluted share before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items, divided by diluted weighted average common shares.

(1)	Expro evaluates its business segment operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin. Expro’s management believes Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin are useful operating performance measures as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating activities, corporate costs and certain non-cash items and allows Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments.
(2)	Expro defines Segment EBITDA margin as Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a percentage.
(3)	Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage.
(4)	Corporate costs include the costs of running our corporate head office and other central functions that support the operating segments, including research, engineering and development, logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety and are not attributable to a particular operating segment.
