Fourth Quarter 2021 Revenue Increased 8% Over Fourth Quarter 2020

IHT Achieved 17% Revenue Growth over 4Q 2020

MS Delivered a 5% Revenue Increase in 4Q 2021 over 4Q 2020

SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Team, Inc. (NYSE:TISI) ("TEAM" or the "Company"), a global leading provider of integrated, digitally-enabled asset performance assurance and optimization solutions, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

• Fourth quarter 2021 revenues were $224 million, an increase of 8% over the prior year quarter and a 3% sequential improvement
• Full year 2021 revenues increased 3% to $875 million, primarily attributable to Nested, Projects & Turnarounds, and International areas
• Inspection & Heat Treating Segment delivered $105 million in revenue during the fourth quarter 2021, a 17% increase over the prior year period
• Mechanical Services Segment grew fourth quarter 2021 revenue to $97.9 million, or 5% more than the $93.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2020
• Entered into a $50 million Subordinated Term Loan that provided runway for the successful comprehensive refinancing of the Company's capital structure in February 2022
• The February 2022 refinancing included a new $165 million credit facility, consisting of $130 million revolving facility and $35 million delayed draw term loan, plus $10 million of incremental unsecured funding, and an additional $10 million equity investment

"Like many other companies, 2021 challenged us in unprecedented ways," said Amerino Gatti, TEAM's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While fourth quarter revenues were up 8% over 2020, our results were negatively impacted by lingering COVID-related pricing concessions given to our clients, the effects of the underlying labor and supply chain inflationary pressures, and higher expenses associated with the elimination of certain of the pandemic-related cost actions.

"The Inspection and Heat-Treating Segment delivered fourth quarter revenue growth of 17% over the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher activity levels at our nested sites and an increase in turnaround projects in North America. Our turnaround and capital project activity increased later in the year as our clients began to return to a more stable operating environment. 

"The Mechanical Services Segment delivered fourth quarter revenue growth of 5% over the prior year quarter, primarily from higher activity levels in projects and turnarounds, partially offset by lower callout activity.  While MS revenue is trending in the right direction, our priority is to enhance margins and capture market share in our key product and service lines.

"Quest Integrity's revenues declined in the fourth quarter when compared to the same quarter in 2020 due to pandemic‑related international travel restrictions and project delays.  As previously reported, Quest had more than $20 million of projects delayed or deferred from 2021, and when combined with recent increases in quoting activity, creates strong opportunities for the year. To meet this forecasted demand, we are proactively and aggressively recruiting project managers and technical sales globally while investing in technology development.

"During the quarter, we executed on our plan to ensure stability and agility throughout the Company, including cash management, liquidity enhancement, and especially investing in our talented people. Going forward, management will continue to focus on revenue and margin growth, end market diversification, and our operational and financial turnaround initiatives.  Additionally, we are evaluating strategic options and alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

"Looking ahead, we remain committed to continuing our capital strengthening priorities to support the future growth of the Company.  We will use stringent fiscal discipline to execute on our growth plan while further streamlining our cost structure in support of our field operations. TEAM is well positioned to capitalize on the rebounding end market demand in 2022 and beyond," Mr. Gatti concluded.

Financial Results

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $223.7 million compared to $207.3 million in the prior year quarter. Despite revenue increasing due to a strong October, during the quarter we also experienced lower activity levels in some of our end markets due to weather and a weaker holiday season, which was further impacted by continued market volatility. In the fourth quarter of 2021, consolidated gross margin was $54.6 million, or 24.4%, down from 29.0%, or $60.1 million,  in the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to temporary COVID-related pricing concessions and inflationary impacts.

Consolidated net loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $43.1 million ($1.38 loss per diluted share) compared to net loss of $14.9 million ($0.48 loss per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2020. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $13.1 million for the prior year quarter. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release.)

SG&A for the fourth quarter was $70.7 million, up $8.2 million, or 13.1%, from the fourth quarter of 2020 due in part to the reinstatement of the temporary cost reduction actions that were put in place in March 2020. The Company's adjusted measure of net income/loss, Consolidated Adjusted EBIT, was a loss of $9.9 million in the fourth quarter compared to a loss of $0.4 million in the prior year comparable quarter. 

Fourth quarter 2021 reported results include certain net charges not indicative of Team's core operating activities consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $8.8 million recorded in the Quest Integrity segment, $0.3 million of severance charges, and $6.2 million of certain professional fees, legal and other non-recurring costs.  Net of tax, these items totaled $15.3 million or $0.49 per diluted share.

For the full year 2021, consolidated revenues were $874.6 million, up 3% compared to $852.5 million in 2020. Net loss was $186.0 million, or $6.01 loss per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $237.2 million, or $7.74 loss per diluted share in 2020. The 2021 net loss includes pre-tax, non-cash, goodwill impairment charges of $8.8 million and $55.8 million associated with the Company's Quest and Mechanical Segments, respectively.  The 2020 net loss includes a pre-tax, non-cash, goodwill impairment charge of $191.8 million associated with the Company's IHT segment.  On an after-tax basis, the 2020 goodwill charge was $178.6 million or $5.83 per diluted share.  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $6.4 million for the full year 2021 compared to $40.0 million in 2020. Net cash used in operating activities was $35.5 million in 2021, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $52.8 million in 2020. 

Adjusted net loss, consolidated adjusted EBIT, consolidated adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items that are not indicative of Team's core operating activities. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is at the end of this release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company's revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

The increase in year-over-year revenues for IHT and MS for the three months ended 12/31/21 was due to higher demand for the Company's services, particularly in October, which was then partially offset by a slow holiday season and continued market uncertainty.

Given the nature and locality of Quest Integrity's business, Quest Integrity was particularly impacted by the pandemic as stay-at-home orders limited travel and necessitated quarantine restrictions. The travel restrictions resulted in many of Quest Integrity's fourth quarter projects getting delayed until the first quarter of 2022 or later in the year. 

Quarterly Earnings Conference Call

The Company will not host an earnings call this quarter due to its previously announced strategic review process and ongoing execution of its operational and financial turnaround plan.

Cash and Debt

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $65.3 million at December 31, 2021 (including $4.1 million of restricted cash for the Atlantic Park Term Loan), compared to $24.6 million at year end 2020. The Company's net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $339.9 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $287.6 million at December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures in this earnings release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Team's performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measure is contained in the accompanying schedule for each of the fiscal periods indicated.

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the consolidated financial information including adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"); adjusted EBIT (defined below); adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") and free cash flow to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBIT to exclude the following items: costs associated with our OneTEAM program, costs associated with the Operating Group Reorganization, non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities. Consolidated adjusted EBIT, as defined by us, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA further excludes from consolidated adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation costs. Segment adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with our OneTEAM program, costs associated with the Operating Group Reorganization, non-routine legal costs and settlements, restructuring charges, certain severance charges, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA further excludes from segment adjusted EBIT depreciation, amortization, and non-cash share-based compensation costs. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures. Net debt is defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of debt, including finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, consolidated adjusted EBIT, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance which are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Our segment adjusted EBIT and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as a basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by our management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to stakeholders.

Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
