CEO Commentary
“2022 was a year of strong momentum for ChampionX as we delivered robust performance on all key metrics, including revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, free cash flow generation, and capital returned to our shareholders. I am grateful to each of our employees around the world for their steadfast commitment to excellence in operations and our organizational purpose of improving lives,” ChampionX’s President and Chief Executive Officer Sivasankaran “Soma” Somasundaram said.
“During the fourth quarter of 2022, we achieved our targeted exit rate of 18% adjusted EBITDA margin and delivered solid results driven by healthy adjusted EBITDA margin improvement in our Chemical Technologies businesses. We generated revenue of $986 million, down 3% versus the third quarter, as we experienced normal seasonality in our North American businesses into the year-end holidays, weather impacts, and lower cross sales to Ecolab. Our Drilling Technologies revenue in the fourth quarter was impacted by temporary inventory destocking, as our customers focused on year-end working capital management, but sales began to rebound in January. Fourth quarter revenue in our Production Chemical Technologies and Production & Automation Technologies businesses were down modestly compared to the third quarter due to North American seasonality, partially offset by sequential growth in international revenue within Production & Automation Technologies and sequential growth in Middle East & Africa revenue within Production Chemical Technologies. We generated net income attributable to ChampionX of $68 million, which increased 56% year-over-year and 194% sequentially, and adjusted EBITDA of $179 million, which increased 34% year-over-year, and represented a sequential increase of 8%. Our income before income taxes margin improved by 518 basis point sequentially, and our adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by approximately 190 basis point sequentially in the fourth quarter, driven by increased pricing realization.
“We once again demonstrated our strong free cash flow profile as we generated free cash flow of $169 million during the fourth quarter, which represented 94% of our adjusted EBITDA for the period. We delivered $95 million of cash return to our shareholders in the fourth quarter, through our regular cash dividend of $15 million and $80 million of ChampionX share repurchases. For the full year 2022, we returned $226 million of cash to our shareholders, representing 69% of our free cash flow. We remain committed to return at least 60% of free cash flow to shareholders through-the-cycle. Our balance sheet remains strong and we ended the year with $889 million of liquidity, including $250 million of cash and approximately $638 million of available capacity on our revolving credit facility.
“As we look to the first quarter, we expect typical seasonal declines in our international operations, partially offset by a rebound in our North American businesses. On a consolidated basis, in the first quarter, we expect revenue to be between $952 million and $982 million. At the guidance midpoint, our first quarter 2023 revenue represents a 12% increase year-over-year. We expect adjusted EBITDA of $164 million to $172 million. At the guidance midpoint, our first quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA represents a 35% increase year-over-year. We are continuing to invest in talent and organizational capabilities in our emissions and digital businesses for future growth. We expect 2023 to be another year of solid growth driven by the constructive market environment, and we expect our adjusted EBITDA margin to progressively improve through the year, targeting an exit rate of
1
20% in the fourth quarter of this year. We expect our 2023 cash generation to be strong, converting at least 50% of our adjusted EBITDA to free cash flow, and we remain committed to returning at least 60% of our free cash flow to our shareholders during the year.
“We continue to see favorable demand tailwinds in our businesses that support a constructive multi-year outlook for our sector. We remain focused on delivering solid bottom-line growth, adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and strong cash generation. We are committed to creating value for our shareholders through a disciplined capital allocation framework, with clear priorities for our capital, including high-return investment and returning cash to shareholders. ChampionX is well positioned to help our customers maximize the value of their producing assets in sustainable and cost-effective ways, and I am humbled and honored to lead our remarkably motivated and talented team.”
Production Chemical Technologies
Production Chemical Technologies revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $636.5 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 1%, sequentially, due to lower North American volumes, offset partially by seasonally higher volumes in certain international markets.
Segment operating profit was $96.4 million and adjusted segment EBITDA was $121.1 million. Segment operating profit margin was 15.1%, an increase of 168 basis points, sequentially, and adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 19.0%, an increase of 304 basis points, sequentially, in each case due to higher pricing and favorable mix.
Production & Automation Technologies
Production & Automation Technologies revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $244.2 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 1%, sequentially, due to seasonality in our North American businesses into the year-end holidays.
Revenue from digital products was $54.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.4 million, or 9%, compared to $49.8 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Segment operating profit was $18.1 million, and adjusted segment EBITDA was $50.6 million. Segment operating profit margin was 7.4%, a decrease of 166 basis points, sequentially, and adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 20.7%, a decrease of 30 basis points, sequentially, in each case due to lower volumes seasonally.
Drilling Technologies
Drilling Technologies revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $53.8 million, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 12%, sequentially, due to end of year inventory destocking.
Segment operating profit was $9.4 million, and adjusted segment EBITDA was $11.0 million. Segment operating profit margin was 17.5%, a decrease of 685 basis points, sequentially, and adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 20.4%, a decrease of 666 basis points, sequentially, in each case due to lower cost absorption and costs associated with serving customers.
Reservoir Chemical Technologies
Reservoir Chemical Technologies revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $25.7 million, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 28%, sequentially, due to exiting certain product lines to improve the profitability of this business.
Segment operating loss was $16.9 million, and adjusted segment EBITDA was $3.4 million. Segment operating loss margin was 65.7%, as compared to 173.9% in the prior quarter, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge totaling $39.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by a reduction in restructuring charges as we favorably settled certain contracts related to the discontinued product lines. Adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 13.4%, an increase of 595 basis points, sequentially, due to better product mix from exiting certain product lines.

About Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to ChampionX and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ChampionX, provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. In addition, free cash flow, free cash flow to adjusted EBITDA ratio, and free cash flow to revenue ratio are used by management to measure our ability to generate positive cash flow for debt reduction and to support our strategic objectives. Although management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating ChampionX’s overall financial performance, the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.
This press release contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. The Company has not provided projected net income attributable to ChampionX or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA. Management cannot predict with a reasonable degree of accuracy certain of the necessary components of net income attributable to ChampionX, such as depreciation and amortization expense. As such, a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income attributable to ChampionX is not available without unreasonable effort. The actual amount of depreciation and amortization, in particular, and other amounts excluded from adjusted EBITDA will have a significant impact on net income attributable to ChampionX.
