National Energy Services Reunited Corp. Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2024 Financial Results

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2024 / National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (“NESR” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK:NESR)(OTC PINK:NESRW), a national, industry-leading provider of integrated energy services in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) region, today reported its financial results as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024. The Company posted the following results for the periods presented:

*The Company presents its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 below for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations, and Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows are derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements present in our Period Report on Form 6-K as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024.

Stefan Angeli, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “NESR achieved exemplary results during the first half of 2024 with outstanding revenue growth and margin expansion coupled with strong cash flow that drove a large reduction in Net Debt. First half 2024 Revenues grew 15.5% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 218 basis points to 23.0% during the same period. Cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2024 was $112.3 million. Free cash flow totalling $59.6 million was used to pay down debt. Net Debt to trailing Adjusted EBITDA was 1.13 as of June 30, 2024, a significant reduction from prior periods. Activity has continued to expand throughout 2024 with Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 up 9.5% sequentially to $325.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin also improved sequentially, expanding 257 basis points to 24.2% during the second quarter of 2024.

Despite macroeconomic volatility and geopolitical conflicts, we believe the MENA landscape remains very favorable with growth across most countries. Operational execution was exceptional in the first half of 2024, and our back office, with new and updated processes and procedures, also contributed significantly. Additionally, as you may have seen with yesterday’s press release by the SEC, we have concluded our inquiry with the SEC in a very positive manner. On behalf of management, I would like to thank our entire workforce for their tireless contribution, together with our customers, our directors, shareholders and banking consortium, for their continued support. We look forward to exiting 2024 as a far larger and stronger corporation.”

Sherif Foda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am extremely proud of the entire NESR organization, for not only achieving exceptional first half 2024 results on the back of solid momentum in 2023, but also for the substantial organizational improvements that position the Company to deliver continued outperformance in the MENA region. The positive macro backdrop has materialized as we had expected, and NESR continues to make progress on the key elements of our strategy, including core business outperformance, new technology expansion, and returns-driven growth punctuated by leading cash flow generation. Looking ahead, a robust activity environment with historically high rig counts in our largest countries, across both oil and gas basins, serves as a foundation for durable success in the next leg of NESR’s evolution. We are very excited with our progress across the ROYA drilling portfolio, and we see excellent opportunities to establish ourselves as a main player in the advanced directional drilling arena. I extend my deepest thanks to our valued customers, our shareholders, and our hard-working people for their trust and loyalty during the past several years, and I look forward to a very bright future.”

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Results

The Company had net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, totaling $18.9 million, an improvement of $16.9 million year-over-year. The change is largely attributable to increased activity in our principal areas and businesses of operations, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $27.4 million and included adjustments totaling $8.5 million (“Total Charges and Credits”), mainly related to increased costs associated with the restatement of our 2018-2020 financial statements, including the SEC inquiry and remediation, and current expected credit loss provisions. A complete list of the adjusting items and the associated reconciliation from GAAP has been provided in Table 1 below in the section entitled “Reconciliation of Net Income and Adjusted Net Income.”

The Company reported $0.20 of diluted EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted for the impact of Total Charges and Credits, Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure described in Table 1 below, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, is $0.29.

Adjusted EBITDA Results

The Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $78.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, improving 30.2% year-over-year and 22.5% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for certain Total Charges and Credits (those not related to interest, taxes, and/or depreciation and amortization). The Company posted the following results for the periods presented.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents are $75.0 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $67.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $59.6 million, as compared to $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to improved operating results in 2024.

Total debt as of June 30, 2024, is $407.1 million with $105.7 million classified as short-term, as compared to $452.2 million and $120.6 million, respectively, on December 31, 2023. Net Debt (a non-GAAP measure), which is the sum of our recorded Current installments of long-term debt, Short-term borrowings, and Long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents, totaled $332.1 million as of June 30, 2024, as compared to $384.4 million as of December 31, 2023. Net Debt has decreased as compared to the prior period primarily due to long-term debt repayments during 2024. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to Net Debt is provided in Table 4 below, entitled “Reconciliation to Net Debt.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands except per share amounts)

The Company uses and presents certain key non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Included in this release are discussions of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”), net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) adjusted for certain non-recurring and non-core expenses (“Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted Diluted EPS,” respectively), as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income and diluted EPS, respectively, in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discusses the non-GAAP balance sheet measure of the sum of our recorded current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents (“Net Debt”) in this release and provides a reconciliation to the GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt to Net Debt. The Company also discusses Free Cash Flow reconciled to Operating Cash Flow.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial performance and results of operations as the Company’s board of directors, management and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of changes in capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items that do not impact the ongoing operations (transaction, integration, and startup costs) and items outside the control of its management team. Similarly, Net Debt is used by management as a liquidity measure used to illustrate the Company’s debt level absent variability in cash and cash equivalents, and the Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors in assessing its financial leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, or diluted EPS, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Net Debt also should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of cash and cash equivalents, current installments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Finally, Free Cash Flow is used by management as a liquidity measure to illustrate the Company’s ability to produce cash that is available to be distributed in a discretionary manner, after excluding investments in capital assets. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) operations or Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
