MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Throughout 2023, our team focused on the execution of our business transformation strategy, culminating in strong year-over-year organic growth in Adjusted EBITDA, margin realization, free cash flow and profitability," stated Matthew Lanigan, President and CEO of Newpark. "We've advanced our business transformation by prioritizing organic share gains, price discipline and a higher margin sales mix, while driving increased productivity and operational rigor across the organization. In the year ahead, we will seek to narrow our strategic focus as we pivot to become a pure-play specialty rental and industrial solutions platform of scale, one well-equipped to support a multi-year investment cycle within the domestic energy and infrastructure markets."

"Our Industrial Solutions segment delivered solid results in 2023, a performance highlighted by significant margin expansion and an improved return on net assets," continued Lanigan. "Segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 increased 8% and 13% year-over-year, respectively, while segment Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 170 basis points to 35.8%, reflecting robust growth in rental volume and improved operating leverage."

"Our fourth quarter results reflect a normalization in Industrial Solutions rental and service, when compared to our prior fourth quarter performance," continued Lanigan. "In the fourth quarter of 2022, we benefited from major, non-recurring weather events that contributed to elevated matting demand, rental price and fleet utilization. Further, while the outlook for matting demand remains strong, supported by a significant volume of planned long-duration projects, the start-up of several customer projects initially scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter shifted into 2024."

"Within Fluids Systems, we made substantial progress strengthening the global position and financial performance of our industry-leading business during 2023," stated Lanigan. "Continued strength within our international operations, together with the benefit from prior year divestitures contributed to a 15% year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and a $69 million reduction in segment net working capital for 2023, resulting in the segment's strongest return on net assets since 2018."

"Newpark remains committed to a balanced capital allocation strategy that seeks to drive long-term shareholder value creation," stated Gregg Piontek, Chief Financial Officer. "For the full-year 2023, we delivered $74 million of free cash flow, including $28 million in the fourth quarter. Over the last twelve months, we reduced our net debt outstanding by $54 million, ending the year with a ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of 0.5x, our lowest level in nearly a decade. We also continued to invest in organic rental fleet expansion, consistent with our strategic focus on growing our share of the domestic worksite access rental market, while returning capital to shareholders through the repurchase of 6.5 million shares, equating to a 7% reduction in our total shares outstanding. With continued confidence in the long-term outlook for Newpark, in February 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new $50 million share repurchase authorization, replacing the prior authorization."   

"The strategic review of our Fluids Systems business is proceeding according to plan, and we continue to anticipate the process will substantially conclude in mid-2024," stated Lanigan. "Given the scope of our international Fluids operations, diligence is time intensive; however, we're making good progress with our partners at Lazard to move the process forward."

"Today, we are introducing Industrial Solutions segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full-year 2024," stated Lanigan. "We currently anticipate full-year 2024 segment revenue in a range of $230 million to $240 million, together with Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $80 to $85 million. While our customers continue to navigate their various permitting and supply chain dependencies, we remain encouraged by the level of infrastructure investment forecasted within the utility and other industries served, supporting our robust growth expectation in 2024."

BUSINESS UPDATE

Newpark is engaged in a multi-year business transformation plan designed to drive organic commercial growth within targeted, higher-margin product and rental markets; improve asset optimization and organizational efficiency; and pursue a capital allocation strategy that prioritizes investments in opportunities with superior return profiles, together with a programmatic return of capital program.

During the full-year 2023, Newpark continued to deliver on its business transformation plan, highlighted by the following (all comparisons versus the prior year period unless otherwise noted):

  • Strong commercial growth in core Industrial Solutions segment. Industrial Solutions revenue from specialty rental and services increased 12% on an organic basis for the full year 2023, driven by continued market share gains and sustained price discipline. For the full year 2023, revenues from product sales declined modestly year-over-year, reflecting stable demand from various infrastructure sectors, including utilities.
  • Delivered significant, balanced margin expansion across reporting segments. Consolidated gross margin increased 360 basis points year-over-year to 18.5%, benefitting from Fluids Systems divestitures and higher contribution from Industrial Solutions. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 260 basis points to 10.7% in 2023. Both reporting segments delivered significant margin expansion in 2023 compared to the prior year, with Industrial Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 170 basis points to 35.8%, and Fluids Systems segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 150 basis points to 6.0%. Margin expansion was attributable to a combination of improved asset optimization and operating expense leverage in Industrial Solutions, along with the positive impacts of Fluids Systems divestitures and restructuring actions.
  • Fluids Systems segment momentum continues, led by international operations. Newpark's Eastern Hemisphere revenue increased 28% to $257 million, while Canada increased 12% to $68 million in 2023. Fourth quarter revenues from these international operations increased 29% year-over-year to $84 million, contributing 69% of Fluids Systems revenue in the quarter.
  • Disciplined management of invested capital. In the fourth quarter, Fluids Systems net working capital was reduced by $25 million, bringing the full year reduction to $69 million and ending 2023 with $171 million of total Fluids Systems net working capital.
  • Prudent balance sheet management highlighted by reduction in net leverage. Over the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, total debt outstanding declined $39 million, supporting a reduction in Net Leverage to 0.5x at the end of the fourth quarter 2023.
  • Active return of capital program. $6 million was used to repurchase 0.9 million shares of common equity during the fourth quarter 2023, bringing full-year 2023 repurchases to 6.5 million shares, or $32 million, under our programmatic share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2023, $18.1 million remained under the current repurchase authorization. In February 2024, the Board of Directors replaced the existing program with a new repurchase program for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In the fourth quarter 2023, Newpark incurred a net loss of $0.5 million, or $(0.01) per share, on total revenue of $167.8 million, compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, on total revenue of $225.2 million, in the prior year period. The Company reported fourth quarter Adjusted Net Income of $3.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $6.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Newpark reported Adjusted EBITDA of $16.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023, or 9.7% of total revenue, compared to $21.5 million, or 9.5% of total revenue, in the fourth quarter 2022.

The Industrial Solutions segment generated revenues of $46.5 million in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $57.5 million in the prior year period. Segment operating income was $11.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $17.8 million in the prior year period. 

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $121.4 million in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $167.7 million in the prior year period. Segment operating loss was $1.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to operating income of $4.8 million in the prior year period. The fourth quarter 2023 Fluids Systems operating income includes $3.5 million of non-cash impairment charges associated with the exit of certain operations, as well as $0.3 million in transaction expenses related to the ongoing Fluids Systems segment sale process. The fourth quarter 2022 Fluids Systems operating results included a $1.0 million pre-tax gain related to a divestiture, as well as $1.2 million in charges primarily related to facility exit and severance costs.

Corporate office expenses were $5.9 million in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year period. The fourth quarter 2023 corporate office expenses include $0.6 million of expenses associated with the Fluids Systems sale process and benefitted from lower short-term and long-term performance-based incentives.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2023, Newpark had total cash of $39 million and available liquidity under its ABL credit facility of $60 million. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had total Net Debt outstanding of $36 million, or 0.5x its trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA as of December 31, 2023. 

Newpark generated $36 million of operating cash flow in the fourth quarter 2023, including $23 million associated with a reduction in net working capital. Capital investments used $8 million, net, primarily funding the expansion of the rental fleet to support organic growth efforts in Industrial Solutions.

Newpark Resources, Inc.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(Unaudited)

To help understand the Company's financial performance, the Company has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with non-GAAP financial measures. Such financial measures include Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt, and Net Leverage.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and liquidity with that of other companies in our industry. Management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance, liquidity and capital structure. In addition, our incentive compensation plan measures performance based on our consolidated EBITDA, along with other factors. The methods we use to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The following tables reconcile the Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
