“We are encouraged with the progress reflected in our second quarter results, which delivered strong revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA of $17.4 million, more than triple the prior year period. More importantly, we saw the benefits from our improved cost efficiency, with our gross margin growing by 190 basis points to 25.4% of revenue and our Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 7.3% of revenue. Both of our operating segments also outperformed the 2022 period, with segment level Adjusted EBITDA margin improving by 160 basis points in our Inspection and Heat Treating segment, and 340 basis points in our Mechanical Services segment,” said Keith D. Tucker, TEAM’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our stronger operating leverage and lower cost structure resulted in nearly 66% of incremental revenue growth falling through to Adjusted EBITDA, further demonstrating the tangible progress made to date in our efforts to improve TEAM’s financial and operational strength while maintaining best in class safety and service quality.”

Mr. Tucker then went on to note the Company’s recent financing transactions, “In June, we successfully closed a series of refinancing transactions that allowed us to repay in full our existing senior secured term loan and, on August 1, repaid in full our remaining outstanding convertible notes. These transactions simplified our capital structure, extended our next debt maturity to August 2025 and successfully eliminated the conditions that led to the going concern disclosure in our 2022 fiscal year-end annual report and our first quarter report.”

“Looking to the third quarter, we see generally stronger activity levels across both our segments, driven by healthy customer end markets, which should provide further opportunities to capture accretive revenue growth. We are particularly excited about our state-of-the-art aerospace facility, where our activity levels continue to increase. Additionally, while we have made significant progress throughout our operation in reducing costs and improving cash flow, management remains focused on addressing underperforming components of the business and identifying further opportunities to improve efficiency and margins, the details of which we expect to share during the third quarter,” 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.

Second quarter revenues were up $18.0 million to $239.5 million as compared to $221.5 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher callout and turnaround activity in the IHT segment and higher activity levels in leak repair and hot tapping services across the MS segment. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements in the 2023 second quarter reduced consolidated revenue growth by $1.8 million. In the second quarter of 2023, consolidated gross margin was $60.9 million, or 25.4% of revenue, up 190 basis points from 23.5%, or $52.1 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, increased operational efficiency, improved pricing, and favorable project mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $56.3 million, down $6.6 million, or 10.5% from the second 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 the Company’s ongoing operations, and removing $6.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of noncash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, our cash selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $3.2 million.

Consolidated net loss in the second quarter of 2023 was $15.8 million ($3.61 loss per share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $28.2 million ($6.53 loss per share) in the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s adjusted measure of net income/loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, was income of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $3.9 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $5.7 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Revenues. IHT revenues increased by $2.6 million or 2.3% and benefited from a $4.6 million or 5% increase in IHT U.S. revenue due to higher callout and turnaround activity and a $1.1 million increase in IHT other international revenue, partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in Canada revenue due to lower turnaround activity. MS revenue increased by $15.3 million or 14.3%, attributable to a $4.8 million or 8.9% increase in U.S. revenue due to higher activity in leak repair, callout activity and hot tapping services and a $10.0 million revenue increase in other international regions and MS Canada.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $1.0 million due to higher activity and higher margins in Canada and other international regions; partially offset by higher labor related costs in U.S. operations. MS operating income increased by $5.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter, driven by higher revenue and margins from the Company’s U.S., Canada and other international operations. Operating income from U.S. and other international operations increased by $3.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in operating income from TEAM’s domestic valve business. Corporate operating loss decreased by $8.6 million due to lower professional fees and lower severance cost in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, and lower overall costs due to the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Revenues. IHT revenues increased by $8.8 million or 4.2%, primarily driven by an increase of $13.2 million in IHT U.S. revenue due to higher callout and turnaround activity, partially offset by lower activity in Canada. MS revenue increased by $22.3 million or 11.1%, consisting of an $8.8 million increase in the U.S. market primarily attributable to higher activity in callout, hot tapping and leak repair services, a $9.3 million increase in other international operations primarily attributable to higher turnaround activity, leak repair services and product sales, and a $3.5 million increase in Canada.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $5.6 million or 99.6%, driven by higher activity and improved margins in the U.S. and cost reductions in Canada. MS operating income increased by $8.4 million as compared to the prior year period. Operating income from the U.S., other international and Canada operations increased by $4.2 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, driven by higher activity and improved margins. Corporate operating loss decreased by $16.0 million due to lower professional fees and lower severance cost in the current year period as compared to the prior year period and lower overall costs due to the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On June 30, 2023, the Company had $61.8 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $25.0 million (excluding $5.4 million of restricted cash) and $36.8 million of undrawn availability (excluding availability utilized on August 1 to repay the Company’s convertible notes) under its various credit facilities.

The Company’s total debt as of June 30, 2023 was $310.9 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), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $280.5 million at June 30, 2023.

On August 8, 2023, after repaying the Company’s convertible notes on August 1, the Company had $54.7 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $21.3 million (excluding $5.3 million of restricted cash) and approximately $33.4 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities.

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 share; earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); Adjusted EBIT; 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) and adjusted net income (loss) per share to exclude the following items: non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, restructuring charges, loss on debt extinguishment, 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, loss on debt extinguishment, 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 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 are 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.
