- Revenue growth was driven primarily by subsea equipment, especially higher activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Q3 product revenue was $187.4 million and services revenue was $37.3 million.
- For the first nine months, operating cash flow was $140.9 million, versus cash used of $10.0 million in 2012. Capital expenditures were $30.0 million, and cash increased by $123.8 million to $380.9 million.
- At September 30, cash was $380.9 million, current assets $1.035 billion and current liabilities $138.9 million. Total liabilities were $148.7 million, including $9.7 million of deferred taxes; the filing reports no commercial lending arrangement or credit line.
- Inventory was $369.7 million, up from $362.2 million at year-end 2012. Customer prepayments fell to $50.6 million from $86.3 million.
Material changes versus prior periods
- Q3 revenue rose 17.7% year over year; nine-month revenue rose 17.5%. Nine-month subsea product revenue increased $97.6 million, while surface and offshore rig equipment revenue declined.
- Q3 cost of sales as a share of revenue improved to 58.8% from 63.8%; nine-month share improved to 59.6% from 61.9%, primarily reflecting product mix and lower unabsorbed manufacturing overhead.
- Q3 SG&A increased 43.3% to $29.8 million, including $7.6 million in foreign-currency transaction losses versus $2.4 million a year earlier, plus higher personnel and stock compensation costs.
- Nine-month effective tax rate was approximately 24%, down from 27% in 2012; management cited a 2013-recognized research and development tax credit and differing geographic income mix.
- Foreign currency translation produced a $7.9 million comprehensive loss for the first nine months of 2013, compared with $3.4 million of income in 2012.
Outlook, risks and contingencies
- Backlog was approximately $1.15 billion at September 30, 2013, up from $881 million at December 31, 2012. The four-year Petrobras contract was valued at $650 million net of Brazilian taxes if all equipment is ordered; $33 million of purchase orders had been added through September 30, 2013, with minimal shipments to date.
- Management said cash on hand and operating cash flows should fund operations, working capital and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. No specific company earnings or revenue guidance was provided.
- Management warned that backlog is subject to customer change or cancellation. Key exposures include volatile oil and gas prices, offshore activity and regulation, international and foreign-exchange risks, customer creditworthiness, product testing requirements, fixed-price project estimates, and operational and environmental hazards.
- Deepwater Horizon claims consolidated in federal proceedings were dismissed with prejudice and final judgment entered for the company; a motion to remand one personal-injury case to Texas state court remained pending. Management did not expect that case to have a material impact and accrued no liability.
- A Brazilian tax-credit dispute involved assessments of approximately $13 million; the company contested them, believed its credits valid and probable of recovery, and accrued no liability. The filing also describes a prior tax settlement and ongoing certification of certain prepaid tax credits.
- ATP-related receivables were approximately $0.4 million at quarter-end. The company recorded a $0.7 million pretax loss and $3.7 million of deferred revenue in Q2 2013 relating to ATP.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied filing is Dril-Quip, Inc., not Innovex International, Inc.
- Review subsequent updates to the Petrobras orders, backlog conversion, shipment timing and customer cancellation exposure.
- Check developments in the remaining Deepwater Horizon matter and Brazilian tax assessments and credit certifications.
- Assess whether currency volatility, particularly the pound sterling and Brazilian real, continues to affect reported expenses and results.
- Compare actual full-year results and cash generation with management’s stated 12-month liquidity expectation; the filing cautions that nine-month results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance.
