HOUSTON & CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Our Australian segment continues to perform well generating solid growth driven by increased billed rooms at our Civeo-owned villages and new business with an existing integrated services customer. As expected, the Canadian segment declined year-over-year with the ongoing wind-down of Canadian LNG-related activity. This decline was exacerbated by wildfire-related evacuations and delays as well as the effect of the previously discussed pull-forward of customer turnaround and operational activities. We are encouraged by the multi-year contract renewal with a major Canadian oil sands producer and believe this is a testament to our solid operational execution and our strong customer relationships,” said Bradley J. Dodson, Civeo's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Dodson added, “In the third quarter, we continued to take advantage of the attractive valuation of our shares, and we elevated our repurchases to approximately 515,000 common shares for $14.2 million. We remain well positioned to invest in our growth initiatives while maintaining attractive cash flow generation to facilitate the continued return of capital to shareholders via steady dividends and opportunistic share repurchases.”

Third Quarter 2024 Results

In the third quarter of 2024, Civeo generated revenues of $176.3 million and reported a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. During the third quarter of 2024, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $35.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $18.8 million and free cash flow of $28.3 million.

By comparison, in the third quarter of 2023, Civeo generated revenues of $183.6 million and reported net income of $9.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. During the third quarter of 2023, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $36.8 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $34.2 million and free cash flow of $31.7 million.

The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the expected wind-down of Canadian LNG-related activity, lower Canadian oil sands turnaround activity due to customers starting their maintenance projects earlier in the year and lower Canadian occupancy related to the recent wildfires. This decrease was partially offset by increased billed rooms at the Australian owned-villages and increased Australian integrated services revenues related to new business with existing clients.

Business Segment Results

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the third quarter of 2024 to the results for the third quarter of 2023.)

Canada

During the third quarter of 2024, the Canadian segment generated revenues of $57.7 million, operating loss of $8.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million, compared to revenues of $95.1 million, operating income of $10.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $23.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.

The Canadian segment experienced a 39% period-over-period decrease in revenues and an 85% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA driven by the anticipated wind-down of LNG-related activity, including $0.4 million of mobile camp demobilization costs, lower oil sands turnaround activity due to customers starting their projects earlier in the year and lower billed rooms as a result of the Canadian wildfires. The company does not anticipate a material impact from the wildfires in the fourth quarter.

Today, the Company announced the execution of an expected contract renewal with a major oil sands producer to continue providing accommodations and hospitality services through June 2027 with expected revenues totaling approximately C$150 million over 33 months.

Australia

During the third quarter of 2024, the Australian segment generated revenues of $116.6 million, operating income of $12.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million, compared to revenues of $87.9 million, operating income of $9.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $18.9 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Revenue from the Australian segment increased 33% period-over-period and Adjusted EBITDA was up 19% primarily driven by a significant increase in integrated services activity from existing clients and a 4% year-over-year increase to billed rooms, building on a history of substantial multi-year growth.

Financial Condition and Capital Allocation

As of September 30, 2024, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $211.8 million. Civeo's net debt on September 30, 2024 was $32.2 million, a $7.9 million decrease since June 30, 2024. Civeo reported a net leverage ratio of 0.3x as of September 30, 2024.

During the third quarter of 2024, Civeo invested $7.5 million in capital expenditures compared to $9.5 million invested during the third quarter of 2023. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily related to maintenance spending on the Company’s lodges and villages. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2023 also included $3.6 million related to customer-funded infrastructure upgrades at three Australian villages which were reimbursed by our client.

The Company announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on December 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of close of business on November 25, 2024. For purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Company has designated this dividend to be an "eligible dividend."

In the third quarter of 2024, Civeo repurchased approximately 515,000 shares for approximately $14.2 million. On September 11, the Board announced it renewed its share repurchase authorization for the Company to repurchase up to 5% of its total common shares outstanding over the next twelve months. The Company will continue to be opportunistic about pursuing repurchases. The Board may increase the number of common shares that may be repurchased under the repurchase plan at any time. The repurchase plan does not obligate Civeo to repurchase any particular number of shares, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time.

Full Year 2024 Guidance

For the full year of 2024, Civeo is tightening its previously provided revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges to $675 million to $700 million and $83 million to $88 million, respectively. The Company is maintaining its full year 2024 capital expenditure guidance range of $30 million to $35 million.

(1)	The term EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain other unusual or non-operating items. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Civeo revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude non-cash share-based compensation. Comparative periods presented were also updated to reflect this revision. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provide investors a helpful measure for comparing Civeo's operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Civeo uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in thousands) (unaudited):

(a)	Relates to asset impairments in the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our Australian segment of $5.7 million and a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in the U.S. of $2.1 million. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in the U.S. of $1.4 million.

(b)	Relates to proceeds received and expenses incurred associated with the dismantlement and sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge. In the third quarter of 2024, we recorded expenses associated with the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge of $0.2 million, which are included in (Gain) loss on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net on the unaudited statements of operations. In the second quarter of 2024, we recorded expenses associated with the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge of $0.1 million, which are included in (Gain) loss on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net on the unaudited statements of operations. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge of $6.1 million, which are included in (Gain) loss on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net on the unaudited statements of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge of $33.2 million, which are included in (Gain) loss on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net ($23.5 million) and Other income ($9.7 million) on the unaudited statements of operations. In the third quarter of 2023, we recorded expenses associated with the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge of $4.9 million, which are included in Other income (expense) on the unaudited statements of operations.

(c)	Represents share-based compensation expense associated with performance share awards, restricted share awards, restricted share units and deferred share awards.

(2)	The term Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included Free Cash Flow as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the cash flow generating ability of its business relative to its capital expenditure and debt service obligations. Civeo uses Free Cash Flow to compare and to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate Civeo's business.
