“Our improving results clearly demonstrate the impact of our refreshed strategic plan. We exited fiscal year 2022 with increasing financial and operational strength and continued to build on that momentum in 2023, with first quarter revenue and gross margin growing 7% and 14%, respectively. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased by almost $11 million and our Adjusted EBITDA margin across both of our segments significantly improved versus the prior year,” said Keith D. Tucker, TEAM’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with these results and our employees remain focused on delivering improved margins and cash flow while maintaining best in class safety and service quality.”

“Over the last year, we made significant progress in our continuing program to improve our cost structure, reducing our ongoing cash selling, general and administrative costs by $5 million over the 2022 first quarter and improving our efficiency and utilization in the field. Our stronger operating leverage and lower cost structure drove our higher cash flow during the quarter, with nearly 80% of incremental revenue growth falling through to Adjusted EBITDA,” said Mr. Tucker. “While we are pleased with our progress to date, management remains committed to further lowering our cost structure while also pursuing accretive revenue growth.”

“Moving into the second quarter, we see increasing customer interest in our new state-of-the-art aerospace inspection facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. We expect generally higher activity levels and a more normalized market for mechanical, inspection and heat-treating services, which should provide an excellent opportunity to further capitalize on our extensive technical capabilities while profitably expanding and diversifying our revenue base. Finally, we plan to provide more details on our recent performance and our longer-term commercial, operational, and strategic growth plans in the coming months,” concluded Tucker.

Financial Results

On November 1, 2022, the Company closed the sale of its Quest Integrity business. Financial information, performance metrics and discussions for comparative period 2022 are based on the Company’s continuing operations (Inspection and Heat Treating (IHT) and Mechanical Services (MS) segments) and exclude results of discontinued operations (Quest Integrity) except where stated otherwise.

First quarter revenues were up $13.2 million to $202.3 million as compared to $189.0 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher callout and turnaround activity in TEAM’s IHT segment and higher activity levels in TEAM’s leak repair and hot tapping services across the MS segment. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements in the 2023 first quarter reduced consolidated revenue growth by $3.2 million. In the first quarter of 2023, consolidated gross margin was $47.0 million, or 23.2% of revenue, up 150 basis points from 21.8%, or $41.1 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 first quarter were $54.7 million, down $8.8 million, or 13.8% from the first quarter of 2022, mainly due to savings from the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts and lower professional fees. After adjusting for expenses not representative of TEAM’s ongoing operations, and removing $6.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of noncash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization and share based compensation, cash selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $5.1 million, or $20.4 million on an annualized basis.

Consolidated net loss from operations in the first quarter of 2023 was $24.7 million ($5.69 loss per share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $38.3 million ($10.17 loss per share) in the first quarter of 2022. The Company’s adjusted measure of net income/loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a loss of $5.7 million in the first quarter compared to a loss of $15.2 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a negative $6.4 million for the prior year quarter, with the improvement driven by the factors noted above. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial 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 ongoing operations. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented at the end of this earnings release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

NM = Not meaningful

Revenues. IHT revenues increased by $6.2 million or 6.5% and benefited from an $8.8 million or 11% increase in IHT U.S. revenue due to higher callout and turnaround activity in all regions, a $1.1 million increase in IHT international revenue, and a $0.3 million increase in aerospace revenue. This increase was partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in Canada due to a customer contract completion. MS revenue increased by $7.0 million or 7.5% attributable to a $4.0 million or 8% increase in U.S. revenue due to higher activity in leak repair and hot tapping services, a $2.8 million revenue increase in MS Canada, and a $1.3 million increase in TEAM’s valves business, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in other international regions.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $4.6 million due to higher activity in the U.S. and lower overhead costs, partially offset by lower revenue in Canada related to the completion of a customer contract in the current period. MS operating income increased by $2.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily from TEAM’s U.S. and Canada operations as well as lower overhead costs and realized efficiency gains in equipment centers during the current quarter compared to prior year quarter. Operating income from U.S. operations increased by $1.4 million and operating income from Canada operations increased by $1.2 million. Corporate operating loss decreased by $7.4 million due to lower professional fees in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter and lower overall costs due to the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts. TEAM continues to experience cost inflation in several areas across all segments, such as raw materials, transportation, and labor costs.

Liquidity

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $63.7 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $26.4 million, (excluding $5.5 million of restricted cash) and $37.3 million in undrawn availability under its various credit facilities.

At May 9, 2023, the Company had $49.3 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million (excluding $5.2 million of restricted cash) and approximately $27.4 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities.

The Company’s total debt as of March 31, 2023 was $288.9 million as compared to $285.9 million as of fiscal year ended 2022. The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $257.1 million at March 31, 2023. The Company typically experiences negative working capital in the run up to the higher activity routinely experienced during the spring and fall turnaround seasons, which historically reverses after the turnaround season concludes.

As part of its operational and financial turnaround plan, the Company continues to evaluate options to address its capital structure and is in active and advanced discussions regarding a comprehensive refinancing to address the upcoming maturity of its $41.2 million convertible notes that mature in August 2023.

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 in the coming months.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial 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”).

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: non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, restructuring charges, certain severance 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 non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, restructuring charges, certain severance 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 financial 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.
