Total revenues of $48.9 million, a 51% year-over-year increase

Net income improved to $3.9 million, as compared to $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, a $1.1 million improvement resulting in earnings per diluted share of $1.58

Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million, as compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, a $4.3 million improvement

HOUSTON, October 31, 2022 – NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NCSM) (the “Company,” “NCS,” “we” or “us”), a leading provider of highly engineered products and support services that facilitate the optimization of oil and natural gas well construction, well completions and field development strategies, today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Financial Review

Total revenues were $48.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which was an increase of 51% compared to the third quarter of 2021. This increase reflected higher product sales and services volumes in Canada and the United States as well as higher international services volumes, partially offset by no international product sales, for which individual orders can be larger and less frequent. We believe the overall increase in revenues largely resulted from higher industry drilling and completion activity in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021, particularly in North America, attributable primarily to higher demand for oil and natural gas and more favorable commodity prices. Total revenues increased by 78% as compared to the second quarter of 2022 with an increase of 171% in Canada, primarily attributable to seasonality, favorable weather conditions and improved pricing, and 5% in international markets, partially offset by a decrease of 5% in the United States.

Gross profit, which we define as total revenues less total cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $20.5 million, or 42% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $14.8 million, or 46% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues was higher due to increased costs impacting our supply chain, including raw materials, purchased materials, labor costs and outsourced service activity, as well as a decrease in international revenue as a percentage of total revenue. Also, in 2021 labor costs were reduced due to the U.S. employee retention credit (“ERC”), which did not recur in 2022. The decline was partially offset by increased revenues and higher utilization of manufacturing capacity and field service personnel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.4 million compared to the same period in 2021. This overall increase in expense reflects higher compensation and benefit costs primarily associated with increased headcount, salary increases implemented during the first quarter of 2022, the restoration of employer matching contributions in January 2022 and the ERC benefit received in 2021, which did not recur in 2022. In addition, we experienced increases in professional fees, travel and entertainment and research and development expenses, which were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense.

Net income was $3.9 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted net income was $3.5 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, which adjusts for a $(0.6) million benefit associated with the addback of net foreign currency exchange losses and a benefit of $1.0 million for tax effects primarily associated with changes in valuation allowance. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, net income was $2.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss for this period was $(1.0) million, or $(0.40) per diluted share, which adjusts for a net impact of $1.7 million associated with a net foreign currency exchange loss and the ERC, less the effect of bonus accruals and associated payroll burdens, as well as tax effects due to valuation allowances.

Adjusted EBITDA was $8.4 million and $4.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity

NCS incurred capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, NCS had $9.9 million in cash and $7.8 million in total debt. The borrowing base under our asset-based revolving credit facility totaled $23.8 million as of September 30, 2022. Our net working capital, which we define as current assets excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt, was $56.9 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $48.0 million at December 31, 2021.

Review and Outlook

NCS’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Nipper commented, “NCS performed very well in the third quarter, led by the strength of our business in Canada. Canadian revenue of $34.8 million was the highest for NCS since the first quarter of 2018 and represented an increase of 171% as compared to the second quarter of 2022 and 57% as compared to the third quarter of 2021. This performance was driven by continued exceptional execution by our team, strong industry activity levels, supported by favorable weather conditions, and the impact of price increases which took hold late in the second quarter.

Our revenue in the U.S. of $11.5 million declined slightly from the second quarter of 2022 but increased by 43% compared to the third quarter of 2021. We have benefitted from increasing activity levels in our fracturing systems and tracer diagnostics product lines, which was offset by lower sales at Repeat Precision during the third quarter of 2022 as we continue to make modifications to our new modular perforating gun system.

In international markets, our revenue increased by 5% in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 and by 14% as compared to the third quarter of 2021, reflecting higher service activity in the North Sea and an increase in tracer diagnostics work, primarily in Argentina. During the third quarter of 2022, we had no product sales revenue in international markets, for which individual orders can be larger and less frequent. We expect product sales in international markets to resume in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Our gross margin of 42% was slightly lower in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021. While we continue to face inflationary pressures across our business, we have begun to benefit from price increases that we have been able to achieve in all geographic markets.

Our Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million represents an increase of just over 100% from the third quarter of 2021, with an incremental Adjusted EBITDA margin of 26% compared to the third quarter of 2021, demonstrating the operational leverage in our business and the ability to capitalize on revenue growth to drive higher profitability.

We have maintained a strong balance sheet, ending the third quarter with a net cash position of $2.0 million. Our asset-based revolving credit facility remains undrawn, with a borrowing base of nearly $24 million. Our free cash flow was a use of cash of $9.5 million through the first nine months of 2022 and primarily reflects an increase in net working capital to support our growth, with revenue through the first nine months of 2022 higher by 40%, or $33.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2021. As a result, we had total net working capital of $56.9 million at the end of the third quarter.

We expect sequential improvements in revenue in our U.S. and international operations during the fourth quarter, with the most significant increase in the U.S., driven by activity at Repeat Precision. We currently expect that Canadian revenue in the fourth quarter will decline as compared to the third quarter of 2022, as customers may begin to exhaust budgets due to favorable operating conditions earlier in the year and due to typical reductions in activity driven by winter holidays. As a result, we expect our total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 to decline as compared to the third quarter of 2022, but to increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Market conditions for our industry remain constructive, with customer cash flows supported by commodity pricing, limited spare capacity in global oil markets and continued global demand for liquified natural gas. However, this positive industry outlook is tempered by the inflationary environment we continue to face with respect to labor costs and our supply chain, as well as negative impacts on oil and natural gas demand that could result from a decline in global GDP growth as central banks implement measures to reduce inflation, and the possibility of an economic recession in certain markets.

As I prepare to retire as CEO, I am incredibly optimistic about the future of NCS under the leadership of Ryan Hummer and our executive team. We have a strong and compelling vision for the future of the company, with a strategy to capitalize on the breadth of opportunities ahead of us. Led by the outstanding people of NCS and leveraging the remarkable technology platform that we’ve developed over the years, I’m confident that we’ll continue to deliver extraordinary outcomes for our customers, shareholders, and stakeholders. We are guided by the NCS Promise and our capital-light business model, which has supported our continued financial strength.

I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to our customers, shareholders and my fellow Board members for your support of the Company, as well as fellow co-founders Marty Stromquist and Don Getzlaf, who have been integral in shaping NCS into the company it is today. Most of all, I want to thank the incredible people at NCS and Repeat Precision, which I continue to believe is the best team that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and which I believe is the best in the industry.”

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital are non-GAAP financial measures.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating performance or which, in the case of share-based compensation, is non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance. Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of the purchase and development of software and technology) plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment, as presented in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We define free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest as free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest, as presented in the net cash used in financing activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows. Net working capital is defined as total current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus total current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt. Net working capital excludes cash and cash equivalents and current maturities of long-term debt in order to evaluate the investment in working capital required to support our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share are important measures that exclude costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, certain costs associated with our capital structure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation presents our financial performance in a manner that is comparable to the presentation provided by many of our peers. We believe free cash flow is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and other investment needs. We believe that free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures, other investment needs, and cash distributions to our joint venture partner. We believe that net working capital is useful in analyzing the cash flow and working capital needs of the Company, including determining the efficiencies of our operations and our ability to readily convert assets into cash. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital are key metrics that management uses to assess the period-to-period performance of our core business operations. We believe that presenting these metrics enables investors to assess our performance from period to period using the same metrics utilized by management and to evaluate our performance relative to other companies that are not subject to such factors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital (our “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), are not measures of net income, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial performance as reported under GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), income from operations, cash provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

The tables below set forth reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures of financial performance calculated under GAAP:
