MITCHAM INDUSTRIES REPORTS FISCAL 2014
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
HUNTSVILLE, TX – APRIL 2, 2014 – Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and year ended January 31, 2014.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $23.6 million compared to $28.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Equipment leasing revenues, excluding equipment sales, increased to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter compared to $11.6 million in the same period last year. Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $3.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $10.1 million, or 43% of revenues, compared to $12.0 million, or 42% of revenues, in the same period last year. EBITDA, which is not a measure determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is defined and reconciled to reported net income and cash provided by operating activities in the accompanying financial tables.
Total revenues for fiscal 2014 were $92.1 million compared to $104.7 million in fiscal 2013. Net income in fiscal 2014 was $4.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $17.1 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in fiscal 2013. EBITDA in fiscal 2014 was $37.1 million, or 40% of total revenues, compared to $48.5 million, or 46% of total revenues, in fiscal 2013.
Bill Mitcham, President and CEO, stated, “Our fourth quarter results generally unfolded as we had anticipated, with quarter to quarter sequential improvement and marginal year over year improvement in our core equipment leasing business. Our equipment leasing revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 rose 56% on a sequential basis and 6% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. We experienced renewed land leasing activity in Latin America, resulting in increased leasing revenues on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. In Russia, the winter season is proving to be stronger than last year. We deployed additional equipment to that region in response to the increased demand, and in addition, some contracts in Russia started earlier than last year. Europe continued to show improvement, with leasing revenues up compared to a year ago. Leasing revenues in the U.S. for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were also above the third quarter as well as one year ago; however, we don’t think this is indicative of a trend as it was due to one large project that did not extend beyond the fourth quarter.
“As expected, Seamap’s fourth quarter results showed strong sequential improvement, with the delivery of one BuoyLink system, one GunLink 4000 system and the first PGS SourceLink. We expected to ship another GunLink 4000 system in the fourth quarter, but that delivery was postponed by the customer until the first quarter of fiscal 2015 due to lack of vessel availability.
“The winter season in Canada is turning out to be much weaker than last year. Based on discussions with our customers and some published reports, we believe the overall seismic market in Canada is down approximately 40% from a year ago. Despite this overall weakness, we have seen an increase in demand for wireless recording equipment in Canada and, as a result and as previously disclosed, we purchased wireless equipment in the fourth quarter for a specific project that began in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
“Looking ahead, we expect modest improvement in our results for all of fiscal 2015. We are seeing increasing levels of bidding activity in many parts of the world, even though there is not much improvement in activity in the U.S. and the outlook in Canada is uncertain. Latin America looks more promising this year, with increasing levels of seismic exploration activity in Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and potentially Mexico. As we have discussed previously, we deployed a significant amount of newly-purchased wireless equipment into Latin America in the fourth quarter in response to specific customer demand.
“In Europe, based on feedback from our customers, we expect continued improved leasing activity in fiscal 2015. Accordingly, we have plans to redeploy some equipment to Europe in the coming months. Russian seismic activity should continue through the first quarter, and we may see a few projects continue into the second quarter. Leasing activity in the Asia Pacific region remains steady, and down hole tool leasing continues to improve.
“We believe Seamap will have improved results this year. We expect to deliver additional source controller systems to PGS as well as to others, and we are seeing increasing interest for the latest version of our RGPS tracking system, BuoyLink 4DX, which we introduced in the second half of fiscal 2014. We are also beginning to see indications of improvement in marine leasing.
“Despite uncertainties in the market, we remain cautiously optimistic that fiscal 2015 will bring a better operating environment and improved results compared to last year, although we may not see that improvement until after the first quarter. In addition, we continue to maintain a strong financial position to support our leadership position in our markets.”
FISCAL 2014 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $23.6 million compared to $28.4 million in the same period last year. A significant portion of our revenues are typically generated from geographic areas outside the United States, and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the percentage of revenues from international customers was approximately 86% compared to 79% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Equipment leasing revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 excluding equipment sales increased 6% to $12.3 million from $11.6 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in fourth quarter equipment leasing revenues was primarily due to renewed land leasing activity in Latin America, continued improved activity in Europe, increased demand in Russia, as well as higher leasing revenues in the U.S. due to one particular project that did not extend beyond the fourth quarter.
Lease pool equipment sales were $663,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $4.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Sales of new seismic, hydrographic and oceanographic equipment were $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Seamap equipment sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $8.7 million compared to $8.9 million in the same period a year ago. The fiscal 2014 fourth quarter included the delivery of one GunLink 4000 system, one BuoyLink RGPS system and one PGS SourceLink system, along with other equipment sales and after-market business. The fourth quarter of last year included deliveries of one GunLink 4000 system and one BuoyLink RGPS system.
Lease pool depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 declined to $7.4 million compared to $8.3 million in the same period a year ago, mainly due to certain equipment reaching the end of its depreciable life. Lease pool additions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were approximately $34.6 million, largely comprised of new wireless equipment in response to specific requests from customers, compared to $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. For the full year fiscal 2014, lease pool additions totaled approximately $49.0 million, which included approximately $37 million of new wireless equipment, compared to $39.1 million in fiscal 2013.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $8.2 million compared to $8.8 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 improved to 34.5% of revenue compared to 30.9% in fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $10.1 million, or 43% of revenues, compared to $12.0 million, or 42% of revenues, in the same period last year.
FISCAL 2014 RESULTS
Total revenues for fiscal 2014 were $92.1 million compared to $104.7 million in fiscal 2013. Equipment leasing revenues, excluding equipment sales, were $46.8 million in fiscal 2014 compared to $54.6 million a year ago. Lease pool equipment sales in fiscal 2014 were $6.9 million versus $11.4 million in fiscal 2013. Other equipment sales, which consist of sales of new seismic, hydrographic and oceanographic equipment, in fiscal 2014 were $13.4 million compared to $7.5 million in fiscal 2013. Seamap equipment sales in fiscal 2014 were $25.1 million compared to $31.2 million last year.
Gross profit in fiscal 2014 was $32.0 million compared to $37.4 million in fiscal 2013, with gross profit margin for the two years of 34.8% and 35.7%, respectively. G&A expense rose to $23.7 million in fiscal 2014 from $22.5 million in fiscal 2013, primarily reflecting higher expenses related to personnel costs associated with increased headcount, especially in our expanded operations in Latin America and Europe. Net income in fiscal 2014 was $4.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $17.1 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in fiscal 2013. Included in fiscal 2014 results is approximately $1.0 million for doubtful accounts pertaining to Latin America and Asia compared to a recovery of $428,000 that had previously been declared uncollectible in fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 was 21%, which is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to earnings that are taxed in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates. EBITDA in fiscal 2014 was $37.1 million, or 40% of total revenues, compared to $48.5 million, or 46% of total revenues, in fiscal 2013.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In April 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to 1.0 million shares of common stock through December 31, 2014. There were no share repurchases during the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter. In fiscal 2014, we repurchased 147,900 shares of common stock at an average cost of approximately $14.82 per share. These purchases were made in open market transactions. Future purchases may be made from time to time, based on market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations, in the open market or otherwise on a discretionary basis. We expect to finance any repurchases from a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from our revolving credit facility.

| (1) | EBITDA is defined as net income before (a) interest income and interest expense, (b) provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and (c) depreciation, amortization and impairment. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of our business, but not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as indicators of our ability to make capital expenditures, service debt and finance working capital requirements. The covenants of our credit agreements contain financial covenants based on EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as us. In particular, we believe that it is useful to our analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to our core cash operating activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EDITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
