Financial performance and position

Q2 revenue rose 9.4% year over year, led by product sales, while services and leasing declined. Six-month revenue increased 2.1%. Gross margin was approximately 28.9% in Q2 versus 20.4% a year earlier, and 27.7% for the first half versus 23.2%. Q2 operating margin was approximately 2.0% versus negative 3.9%; first-half operating margin was negative 1.8% versus negative 5.1%.

At June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $423.1, current assets $868.1, current liabilities $87.1 and total assets $1,201.9. The current ratio was approximately 10.0. Total liabilities were $104.8, including $4.3 of operating lease liabilities and $0.5 of finance lease liabilities. The balance sheet reports no separate borrowing balance; the company had a $100 million asset-backed revolving facility and $43.0 million of availability, net of approximately $0.3 million in letters of credit. It was compliant with facility covenants.

First-half cash increased $5.0 to $423.1. Operating cash flow was lower than in the prior-year period, mainly reflecting working-capital movements, including a $16.7 increase in receivables. Investing cash use was $3.0, including $4.6 of capital expenditure and $1.6 of equipment-sale proceeds. Financing cash use was $2.0, primarily share repurchases.

Changes versus prior comparable period

• Q2 moved to operating and net income from losses in Q2 2018. First-half net loss narrowed to $4.4 from $10.4.
• Product revenue rose $12.5 in Q2, while service revenue declined $1.4 and leasing revenue declined $2.1. Subsea product revenue was a key contributor to growth.
• Cost of sales fell as a share of revenue, which management attributed to continuing manufacturing optimization and transformation efforts.
• First-half operating cash flow declined to $10.7 from $23.5; capital expenditures also declined to $4.6 from $19.6.
• Product backlog increased to $322.2 at June 30 from $303.7 at March 31 and $270.0 at December 31, 2018.

Outlook, commentary, risks and unusual items

• No specific company revenue or earnings guidance is provided. Management expected continued pressure on oil and gas prices and drilling activity, while noting that some customers were replenishing inventories as demand improved.
• A global transformation plan targets annualized cost savings of $40–$50 million. Management reported approximately $16 million of savings in Q4 2018 and approximately $13 million in the first half of 2019, with savings expected to continue for the rest of 2019.
• Management cited oil-price volatility, customer order delays or cancellations, contract renegotiations, offshore-rig oversupply, lower rig construction, trade tariffs, foreign-exchange exposure, international political and regulatory risks, and potential asset impairment as material risks. Rigs under construction were 93 at June 30, 2019, down from 133 a year earlier.
• Backlog includes approximately $82 million of contract awards that may not meet the filing’s revenue-recognition criteria for enforceable performance obligations. A Vietnam project in backlog could be delayed or cancelled amid territorial discussions; its letter of award was extended through December 31, 2019.
• The company recorded $3.4 million of first-half restructuring and other charges, including consulting fees and a former COO separation payment. Q2 included $1.0 million of such charges. Stock compensation included approximately $1.8 million related to accelerated vesting under the former COO’s separation agreement.
• A $1.2 million gain on asset sales in the first half was primarily related to the sale of the Youngsville, Louisiana facility. The first-half effective tax rate was unusually high at 503.5%, primarily due to valuation allowances and differing jurisdictional tax rates.
• A Brazilian tax dispute concerns assessments of approximately $13.0 million. The subsidiary deposited approximately $8.8 million with the court; management believes success is probable and has recorded no liability. Management said ordinary-course legal matters were not expected to have a material adverse effect.
• The company adopted lease accounting Topic 842 in 2019, recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; adoption had no effect on income or equity. Disclosure controls were assessed as effective, and no material change in internal control was reported.
