NEWPARK RESOURCES REPORTS NET INCOME OF $0.21 PER DILUTED SHARE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2014

 

Fluids segment posts 14% sequential revenue growth and

segment margin improves to double-digits

 

 

THE WOODLANDS, TX – JULY 24, 2014 – Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $272.5 million compared to $242.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $259.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $20.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014, and $11.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter 2014 results include $1.2 million of pre-tax gains, or $0.01 per diluted share, from the sale of real estate. 

 

Paul Howes, Newpark’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased with the solid performance from both our fluids and mats segments. In the fluids business, U.S. revenues grew 20% sequentially as the momentum we experienced at the end of the first quarter continued into the second quarter, reflecting broad-based gains across most regions, along with strong demand for wholesale barite and a deepwater well in the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, our EMEA revenues increased sharply, including $7 million in contributions from new contract start-ups in the Black Sea and India. These revenue gains, along with our continued success in penetrating the market with new technologies, including our family of Evolution® drilling fluid systems, have helped drive our fluids segment margins back into the double-digits.

 

“Meanwhile, our mats business continued to perform at a high level. Strong rental demand and the continuing expansion of our rental fleet contributed to a 13% sequential increase in rental revenues and enabled us to maintain margins above 40%.

 

 

 
 

 

 

“We’ve also continued to execute on our share repurchase program, purchasing an additional $20 million of outstanding shares and bringing our total year-to-date purchases to 4.3 million shares at an average price of $11.70,” concluded Howes.

 

SEGMENT RESULTS

 

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $241.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $211.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $234.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. Segment operating income was $27.6 million (11.4% operating margin) in the second quarter of 2014, which includes a $0.6 million gain on the sale of real estate, compared to $15.7 million (7.4% operating margin) in the first quarter of 2014 and $17.7 million (7.6% operating margin) in the second quarter of 2013.

 

The Mats and Integrated Services segment generated revenues of $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $25.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.
