Q3 revenue rose 1.4% year over year; nine-month revenue rose 6.5%. Product sales grew while service revenue declined. Operating margin was approximately 26.9% in Q3 (25.0% prior year) and 26.3% for nine months (26.4% prior year). Net margin was 19.7% and 19.2%, respectively, compared with 18.2% and 19.2% in the prior-year periods.
Cash flow, liquidity and debt
For the first nine months, operating cash flow was $101.0 million, up from $76.2 million. Capital expenditures were $48.6 million, versus $38.1 million, implying cash flow after capital expenditures of about $52.4 million versus $38.0 million. Cash and equivalents were $258.0 million at September 30, 2010, up from $197.8 million at year-end 2009. Total debt was approximately $0.5 million; cash substantially exceeded debt. Current assets were $674.1 million against current liabilities of $106.7 million.
Management said operating cash and cash on hand should fund operations, working capital and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. The company reported no off-balance-sheet arrangements.
Changes, outlook and material risks
- Q3 product revenue increased about $3.0 million, mainly from offshore rig equipment, partly offset by lower subsea and surface equipment sales. Nine-month product revenue increased about $28.5 million; service revenue decreased about $2.8 million.
- Q3 SG&A rose 17.3% to $15.6 million, reflecting foreign-exchange transaction results and higher stock-option expense. Nine-month SG&A rose 10.8% to $45.1 million. Cost of sales as a share of revenue was broadly stable in Q3 and improved for the nine-month period.
- Nine-month 2010 results included a $5.9 million Brazil state-tax settlement expense within special items; a further $6.3 million of the $12.2 million settlement was recorded in assets. The comparable 2009 period included $5.2 million of special expense related to the death of a co-CEO and accelerated option vesting.
- Backlog was approximately $625 million at September 30, up from $538 million at June 30 and $563 million at December 31, 2009. Orders in backlog can be changed or terminated by customers; no formal earnings guidance is provided in the filing.
- The Deepwater Horizon moratorium was lifted October 12, 2010, but permitting delays and possible additional regulation could defer demand. Gulf of Mexico revenue represented about 42% of worldwide revenue in the first nine months of 2010. Management warned of potential impacts on subsea and surface equipment, services and 2011 orders; the extent was not quantifiable.
- The company was named in 15 lawsuits related to the incident and was responding to investigations and information requests. Claims seek unspecified damages; no liability was accrued. General liability coverage increased from $100 million to $200 million effective October 1, 2010, but policies may not cover all claims, pollution cleanup costs, fines or penalties. Contractual indemnification rights and obligations may also affect exposure.
- Other risks include oil and gas price volatility, offshore activity and regulatory changes, customer credit and project cancellations, foreign exchange exposure, and operating hazards. The company reported foreign-currency gains of $0.3 million for nine months, versus $3.5 million in the prior year.
Investor verification priorities
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied 10-Q names Dril-Quip, Inc., not Innovex International, Inc.
- Track Gulf of Mexico permitting, customer activity, and subsequent revenue/order trends, especially for subsea, surface and service lines.
- Review the status and potential financial exposure of Deepwater Horizon litigation, investigations, insurance coverage and indemnification claims; no liability had been accrued as of the filing.
- Validate backlog conversion and cancellation risk, capital spending, and cash generation against management’s 12-month liquidity assessment.
- Assess recurring operating performance separately from the Brazil tax settlement and prior-year CEO-related special expense.
