“Our fourth quarter results demonstrate the growing impact of actions taken during 2022 to lower our cost structure and streamline operations while capitalizing on revenue growth opportunities. Our fourth quarter revenue grew 4% and our gross margin increased nearly 17%, leading to significantly improved Adjusted EBITDA and we achieved these gains despite ongoing inflationary pressures in our supply chain and challenging labor costs and availability,” said Keith D. Tucker, TEAM’s Chief Executive Officer. “For the full year of 2022, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA benefited from revenue growth of nearly 6% over the prior year and the impact of margin improvements and cost actions that accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2022. Heading into 2023, we expect to expand on this fourth quarter operational and financial momentum as we target continued improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margins over time.”

Mr. Tucker went on to note the Company’s recent turnaround progress, “The past year was a year of substantial progress for TEAM that included several noteworthy operational and strategic achievements. We made measurable progress streamlining our cost structure and empowering the field while delivering very strong safety performance. In addition to paying down a substantial portion of our term loan and expanding liquidity in the fourth quarter, the Company also commissioned its state-of-the-art aerospace inspection facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. This new facility positions us to capitalize on this fast growing, differentiated end market with an attractive margin profile. I am grateful for the hard work and dedication of our employees during this transformational year and their continued focus on our ongoing turnaround.”

“Looking to 2023, we see opportunities for further improvement in margins, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow driven by stronger activity levels, improvements in pricing and additional gains in operating cost efficiency. We are excited about the opportunities to expand and diversify our revenue base while continuing to capitalize on our extensive technical capabilities and strong market position in the provision of services critical to the operational and environmental safety of our customers. Finally, we plan to provide more detailed updates on our recent performance and our longer-term commercial, operational, and balance sheet improvement plans during the second quarter of 2023,” concluded Tucker.

Financial Results

As noted above, on November 1, 2022, the Company closed the sale of its Quest Integrity business. Financial information, performance metrics and discussions for periods presented are based on the Company’s continuing operations (IHT and MS segments) and exclude results of discontinued operations (Quest Integrity) except where stated otherwise.

Fourth quarter revenues were up $8.1 million to $211.3 million as compared to $203.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher activity levels in our leak repair, hot tapping and valve businesses. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements in the 2022 fourth quarter reduced consolidated revenue growth by $4.8 million. In the fourth quarter of 2022, consolidated gross margin was $52.4 million, or 24.8% of revenue, up 270 basis points from 22.1%, or $44.9 million, in the same quarter a year ago. Gross margin was positively impacted by direct margin improvement and lower indirect costs as a percent of revenue attributable to the Company’s ongoing expense reduction program, improved pricing, and favorable project mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were $57.2 million, down $6.4 million, or 10.0% from the fourth quarter of 2021, mainly due to savings from the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts and lower professional and legal fees. After adjusting for expenses not representative of TEAM’s ongoing operations, net cost reductions of $3.6 million were achieved which are expected to generate approximately $14 million of annual savings.

Consolidated net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $56.9 million ($13.15 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $37.9 million ($12.19 loss per share) in the fourth quarter of 2021. Fourth quarter 2022 consolidated net loss included a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $30.1 million ($12.4 million of cash fees and premium and $17.7 million of non-cash charges for the write-off of associated deferred financing costs and debt discounts) related to the use of proceeds from the Quest Integrity sale to paydown $225.0 million of debt in early November. The Company’s adjusted measure of net income/loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to a loss of $12.5 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a negative $1.6 million for the prior-year quarter. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release.)

For the full year 2022, consolidated revenues were $840.2 million, up 5.8% compared to $794.2 million in 2021. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements throughout 2022 negatively impacted revenue growth by approximately $15.0 million. Net loss from continuing operations was $150.1 million, or $35.85 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $184.8 million, or $59.67 loss per share, in 2021. The 2022 net loss includes the pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $30.1 million discussed above, as well as additional non-cash interest expense of $21.8 million attributable to accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts. The 2021 net loss includes pre-tax, non-cash, goodwill impairment charges of $55.8 million associated with the Company’s MS Segment. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $16.7 million for the full year 2022 compared to a negative $6.3 million in 2021, with the improvement driven by higher activity, improved pricing, more favorable job mix and improved margins that benefited from the Company’s cost reduction efforts. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings
release.)

Adjusted net loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items that are not indicative of TEAM’s core operating activities. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is at the end of this release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Revenues. IHT’s revenue decreased by $2.8 million, or 2.6%, during fourth quarter 2022 as compared to prior year, with higher revenue in the U.S. offset by lower activity in heat treating and nested activity in Canada. MS’s revenue grew by $10.9 million or 11.1% due to higher activity in the Company’s U.S. and Latin America operations related to leak repair, hot tapping, and the Company’s domestic valves business, partially offset by lower activity in the international market due to non-repeating project work in the 2021 period.

Operating income (loss). IHT’s fourth quarter 2022 operating income increased by $1.9 million to $4.1 million due to a more favorable job mix as well as realized cost reductions. The increase in MS operating income was approximately $2.7 million, driven by higher revenue, lower costs and improvements in several key operating districts. Consolidated operating income improved by $14.0 million driven by the factors discussed above as well as significant reductions in Corporate and shared support service costs of $9.4 million.

/NM = Not meaningful

Revenues. IHT revenues increased by $7.2 million, or 1.7%, to $422.6 million, primarily due to higher turnaround and nested activity in the U.S. compared to the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in Canada. MS revenue increased by $38.8 million, or 10.2%, to $417.6 million, primarily due to higher activity in the Company’s U.S. and Latin American operations related to leak repair, hot tapping services, and the U.S. valve business, partially offset by decreases in international revenue due to non-repeating project work in the United Kingdom.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $4.1 million, or 31.5%, driven primarily by higher activity and revenue in the U.S. and realized cost reductions, partially offset by COVID-19 related government subsidies received in 2021 which were not received in 2022. The year over year improvement in MS segment operating income is primarily due to a $55.9 million noncash goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2021, plus improvements of $2.5 million in the Canada business, $3.2 million increase in the valve business, and efficiency gains realized in the equipment centers, manufacturing, and engineering cost centers during 2022. This was partially offset by the lack of COVID-19 related government subsidies in the current year compared to prior-year. Consolidated operating income improved by $87.1 million, driven by the factors noted above and $14.3 million in reduced Corporate and shared support costs due to the Company’s ongoing expense reduction efforts.

Liquidity

At December 31, 2022, the Company had $103.5 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $51.1 million, (excluding $7.0 million of restricted cash held primarily as collateral for letters of credit) and $52.4 million in undrawn availability under its various credit facilities.

At March 13, 2023, the Company had $67.0 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $31.3 million (excluding $6.7 million held mainly as collateral for outstanding letters of credit) and approximately $35.7 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities. The seasonality in the Company’s business activity drove the expected reduction in total liquidity since year end 2022. The Company typically experiences negative working capital and liquidity impacts in the run up to the higher activity routinely experienced during the spring and fall turnaround seasons, when these negative working capital trends have historically reversed.

The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $227.9 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $350.7 million at December 31, 2021.

As part of its operational and financial turnaround plan, the Company continues to evaluate options to address its capital structure, including the August 2023 maturity of its $41.2 million convertible notes that remain outstanding.

Form S-1 Filing

The Company plans to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 related to transactions completed during fiscal year 2022. The Form S-1 filing will amend the Company's previous Form S-3 filing, is not related to any potential offering of additional, new securities, and the Company is not aware of any present intent of the holders to sell any securities.

Quarterly Earnings Call

The Company will not host an earnings call this quarter due to its previously announced strategic review process and the ongoing execution of its operational and financial turnaround plan; however the Company plans to provide more detailed updates on its recent performance and progress during the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures in this earnings release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Team’s performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measure is contained in the accompanying schedule for each of the fiscal periods indicated.

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the consolidated financial information, including adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); Adjusted EBIT (defined below); adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and free cash flow to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and Adjusted EBIT to exclude the following items: costs associated with the Operating Group Reorganization, non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges, and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities. Consolidated Adjusted EBIT, as defined by us, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA further excludes from consolidated Adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation costs. Segment Adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with the Operating Group Reorganization, non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges, and certain other items as determined by management. Segment Adjusted EBITDA further excludes from segment Adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization, and non-cash share-based compensation costs. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures. Net debt is defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of debt, including finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance that are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Our segment Adjusted EBIT and segment Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a basis for the chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by our management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to stakeholders.

Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
