NEWPARK RESOURCES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
Company reports revenues of $183 million, net income of $0.02 per share
THE WOODLANDS, TX – JULY 27, 2017 – Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2017. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $183.0 million compared to $158.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $115.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2017, and a net loss of $13.9 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter 2016 results included net charges of $0.11 per share associated with asset impairments, the termination of our previous revolving credit facility and charges associated with workforce reductions.
Paul Howes, Newpark’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Building upon the positive momentum from the first quarter, I’m pleased to report another period of strong sequential gains in both segments. The Mats segment had an exceptionally strong second quarter, posting the highest revenue and operating income level in two years, benefiting from our diversification strategy. The sequential revenue gains were driven by broad-based improvements across targeted market sectors, including the impact of a few large utilities transmission and distribution projects in the Gulf Coast region. The quarter further benefited from weather events, where our scale and rapid service response uniquely positioned us to support our customers following a string of storms that impacted areas within Texas and Louisiana. With the meaningful lift in demand, rental and service revenues increased to $25 million in the quarter. The surge in rental demand also provided a meaningful lift in segment operating margin, which came in at 35% for the second quarter.
“In Fluids, revenue gains were once again led by our U.S. operations, where revenues improved sequentially by 34% and outperformed the market rig count gains for the third consecutive quarter. The strong U.S. performance more than offset the anticipated seasonal impact of Spring break-up in Canada, resulting in a 12% increase in total North America fluids revenues. Internationally, fluids revenues also increased by 8%, benefiting from a rebound in activity in North Africa and Eastern Europe,” added Howes. “With the stronger revenue contribution from the U.S. and EMEA regions, the Fluids segment profitability remained relatively stable despite the sharp seasonal decline in Canada, posting a 4% operating margin.”
2017 Convertible Notes Update
In preparation for the October 2017 maturity of convertible notes, the restricted cash balance (reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets) increased by $30 million during the second quarter of 2017, reflecting funds that have been placed in an escrow account in advance of the scheduled maturity.  As a result of this as well as meeting other administrative requirements, the Company has satisfied the conditions to avoid the accelerated maturity date of its Asset-Based Loan (“ABL”) Facility.  Accordingly, the maturity date of the ABL Facility remains March 6, 2020.

Segment Results
The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $150.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $136.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $96.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Segment operating income was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $6.4 million of income in the first quarter of 2017 and an $11.9 million loss in the second quarter of 2016. Segment results for the second quarter of 2016 included a total of $8.3 million of charges, including impairments of intangible and other long-lived assets in the Asia Pacific region, as well as costs associated with workforce reductions and the impairment of inventory in North America.
The Mats and Integrated Services segment generated revenues of $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $22.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Segment operating income was $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, and $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2016.

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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and the Ratio of Net Debt to Capital.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other parties in the evaluation of our performance and/or that of other companies in our industry. In addition, management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance, and 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.
