THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $297.0 million compared to $272.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $268.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was $23.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $20.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, and $15.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.
Paul Howes, Newpark's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with the record performance this quarter as we achieved new high marks for revenues in both the fluids and mats segments. Building on the momentum from the first half, U.S. fluids revenues grew 8% sequentially, reflecting broad-based gains across several regions, along with continued strong demand for wholesale barite. Meanwhile, seasonal improvements in Canada largely offset the expected declines from both the EMEA region and Brazil. The continuing strength in revenues, along with our efforts in penetrating the market with new technologies, has helped us sustain fluids segment margins at 11% in the third quarter.
"Our mats business continued to perform at a high level, generating a 47% sequential increase in revenues and a 44.9% operating margin in the third quarter. The strong revenue growth was primarily driven by a large site preparation project in the Gulf Coast region, along with continuing growth in mat rentals, as we expanded our presence into new markets.
"In the meantime, we are continuing to make strategic investments to accelerate the growth in both our fluids and mats segments, with capital expenditures totaling $28 million in the third quarter," concluded Howes.
Segment Results
The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $251.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $241.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $233.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. Segment operating income was $27.8 million (11.0% operating margin) in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $27.6 million (11.4% operating margin) in the second quarter of 2014, which included a $0.6 million gain on the sale of real estate, and $17.1 million (7.4% operating margin) in the third quarter of 2013.
The Mats and Integrated Services segment generated revenues of $45.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $35.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Segment operating income was $20.5 million (44.9% operating margin) in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $13.7 million (43.9% operating margin) in the second quarter of 2014, which included a $0.6 million gain on the sale of real estate, and $15.3 million (43.7% operating margin) in the third quarter of 2013.
Strategic investment In Fluids segment
The Company's Board of Directors recently approved two capital investment projects within the fluids segment. The projects include a capital investment of approximately $30 million to significantly expand existing capacity and upgrade capabilities in Fourchon, Louisiana, to serve the Gulf of Mexico deepwater market. In addition, the Company is investing approximately $20 million in a new manufacturing facility and distribution center located in Conroe, Texas, which will support the increasing demand for our proprietary fluid technologies, including our Evolution systems.
International Fluids Contract Award
The Company announced that it has been awarded a contract by ENI S.p.A. to provide drilling fluids and related services for a series of wells in offshore Libya. The estimated value of the contract is approximately $20 million, and work is expected to begin in the first half of 2015.
