Civeo Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

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

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.
