    Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE:NR) ("Newpark" or the "Company") today announced that it has completed the sale of the Company's equity interests in substantially all of the Company's Fluids Systems segment ("Sale Transaction") to SCF Partners, Inc. ("SCF") a leading private equity firm serving the global energy industry.

    Under the terms of the Sale Transaction agreement, the base sale price of the business is $127.5 million, adjusted by $43 million to reflect lower estimated working capital conveyed at closing as compared to the average 2023 net working capital balance, accrued taxes and certain other liabilities, and $10 million of outstanding debt. Net Sale Transaction consideration is $56 million, which reflects $70 million of cash proceeds received at closing, net of $19 million of foreign cash conveyed with the business, along with a $5 million interest-bearing seller note receivable. The final purchase price remains subject to customary adjustments based upon final working capital, accrued taxes and certain other liabilities, debt and cash conveyed at closing. As a result of the anticipated loss to be recognized on the Sale Transaction, the Company expects to generate additional U.S. federal net operating loss tax benefits of approximately $7 million to $10 million, which along with approximately $20 million of existing U.S. federal net operating loss and other credit carryforward tax benefits, will be available to offset future U.S. federal tax obligations.

    Having concluded the Sale Transaction, the Fluids Systems segment will be reclassified and reported as Discontinued Operations for all periods reported.

    In conjunction with the Sale Transaction, the Company's U.S. asset-based revolving credit agreement ("ABL Facility") has been amended, reducing the facility size from $175 million to $100 million, among other changes. After giving effect for the net proceeds received from the Sale Transaction, Newpark had total cash of approximately $40 million and proforma availability of approximately $55 million under the ABL Facility as of September 13, 2024. Newpark intends to use the net proceeds towards a combination of organic investments in its composite matting fleet, opportunistic inorganic growth, and share buybacks under its existing $50 million share repurchase authorization.

    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

    "Over the last two years and through this Sale Transaction, we have engaged in a systematic process to transform our fluids business into a more profitable and capital-light operation, driving efficiencies and generating more than $200 million from Fluids Systems divestitures and working capital reductions. This cash generation was redeployed into the growth of our Industrial Solutions business, while also reducing debt by nearly $150 million, returning $50 million to shareholders through the purchase of nearly 12% of our outstanding shares, and building a U.S. cash balance of approximately $40 million," stated Matthew Lanigan, President and CEO of Newpark. "The completion of the Sale Transaction brings that process to a conclusion, marking an important strategic milestone for our Company as we are now able to focus on growing our scale as a leading, pure-play specialty rental and services business in the global worksite access and critical infrastructure markets."

    "The sale simplifies our business model and meaningfully improves our margin profile, return on investment and profitability potential, while enabling us to commit 100% of our attention to our growth strategy. In the coming months, we will also rebrand the Company and pursue the appropriate industry re-classification to reflect our strategic focus beyond the Company's historical oilfield association and better align with our future growth market coverage," continued Lanigan. "We are excited to see our Fluids Systems business and the Newpark brand under the ownership of SCF who have an outstanding record of growing businesses and wish them both every success in the future."

    Deviyani Misra-Godwin, Director at SCF, stated, "For over 25 years, Newpark Fluids Systems has maintained a leading position in the drilling and completions fluids space worldwide, improving customer performance by providing industry-leading service quality. Newpark Fluid Systems' global footprint, top quartile safety performance, leading portfolio of technology and preeminent position in the growing geothermal space will accelerate success in the evolving energy landscape. Together with the leadership team, we look forward to creating tremendous value for our customers and employees in this next chapter of growth."

    Newpark Fluid Systems' CEO, David Paterson, commented, "We are thrilled to partner with SCF. This new partnership will be a source of enormous value creation for both our customers and the entire Newpark Fluids Systems team. Our global strategic growth plan will now accelerate under a new and focused board with significant energy experience and commitment. SCF's unsurpassed track record of success in the global energy services industry provides exciting opportunities as we look to the future."

    Lazard served as Newpark's exclusive financial advisor in connection with the sale and Baker McKenzie served as legal advisor.

    COMPELLING TRANSACTION RATIONALE

    • Simplified business structure now positioned to become a leading, pure-play specialty rental business, prioritizing capital deployment toward organic and inorganic growth, and return of capital program. Newpark intends to prioritize capital investment in the growth of its matting fleet to support increased rental demand, which historically has generated annualized cash-on-cash returns in excess of 25%. With the largest composite matting fleet in the United States, the Company is uniquely positioned to provide worksite access solutions to a diverse base of end-markets, including customers within the power and energy infrastructure sectors, where its DURA-BASE® composite matting system has become the standard for performance excellence. With a service life of up to approximately 15 years, the DURA-BASE system offers a safer, longer-lasting replacement to traditional wooden mats, which currently represent an estimated 75% of the U.S. market. The Company also remains focused on the opportunistic acquisition of complementary worksite access businesses in adjacent markets, while remaining active under its share repurchase authorization.
    • Reframes investment opportunity around a singular, higher-margin, free cash generative business. On a trailing 12-month basis through the second quarter 2024, the Industrial Solutions business generated revenue and operating income of $219 million and $58 million, respectively, reflecting an operating margin in excess of 26%.
