DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Description of the Business

 

We are one of the largest integrated providers of workforce accommodations, logistics and facility management services to the natural resource industry. Our scalable modular facilities provide long-term and temporary accommodations where traditional accommodations and related infrastructure is insufficient, inaccessible or not cost effective. Once facilities are deployed in the field, we also provide catering and food services, housekeeping, laundry, facility management, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, communications and redeployment logistics. Our accommodations support our customers’ employees and contractors in the Canadian oil sands and in a variety of oil and natural gas drilling, mining and related natural resource applications as well as disaster relief efforts, primarily in Canada, Australia and the United States. We operate in three principal reportable business segments – Canada, Australia and U.S.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates: (i) all references in these consolidated financial statements to “Civeo,” “us,” “our” or “we” refer to Civeo Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries; and (ii) all references in this report to “dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Civeo have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) pertaining to interim financial information. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited financial statements included in this report reflect all the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which Civeo considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial condition of Civeo at the date of the interim balance sheet. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

 

2.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards or other guidance updates, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Beginning with this quarterly report, we have adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (ASU 2016-13). This new standard changes how companies will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within the reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), which replaces the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840).  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.  The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within the reporting periods. An entity will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements. 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606).  ASC 606 establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services and requires significantly enhanced revenue disclosures.  The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Beginning with this quarterly report, we have adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 is presented under ASC 606, while comparative financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy for revenue recognition prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Upon adoption of this standard, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $0.4 million to accumulated deficit in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis.

 

 

3.

REVENUE

 

We generally recognize accommodation, mobile facility rental and catering and other services revenues over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume benefits as we serve our customers because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We transfer control and recognize a sale based on a periodic (usually daily) room rate each night a customer stays in our rooms or when the services are rendered. In some contracts, rates may vary over the contract term. In these cases, revenue may be deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. A limited portion of our revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer related to small modular construction and manufacturing contracts, minor catering arrangements and optional purchases our customers make for incidental services offered at our accommodation and mobile facilities.   

 

For significant projects, manufacturing revenues are recognized over time with progress towards completion measured using the cost based input method as the basis to recognize revenue and an estimated profit. Billings on such contracts in excess of costs incurred and estimated profits are classified as deferred revenue. Costs incurred and estimated profits in excess of billings on these contracts are recognized as unbilled receivables. Management believes this input method is the most appropriate measure of progress to the satisfaction of a performance obligation on larger modular construction and manufacturing contracts. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to projected costs and revenue and are recognized in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Factors that may affect future project costs and margins include weather, production efficiencies, availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents. These factors can significantly impact the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future reported earnings.

Because of control transferring over time, the majority of our revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer our customers a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. Our customers typically contract for accommodation services under take-or-pay contracts with terms that most often range from several months to three years. Our contract terms generally provide for a rental rate for a reserved room and an occupied room rate that compensates us for services. We typically contract our facilities to our customers on a fee per day basis where the goods and services promised include lodging and meals. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the goods and services promised in the context of the contract and the pattern of transfer to our customers.

 

Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when our performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. Payment terms are generally within 30 days. We do not have significant financing components or significant payment terms.

 

Revenues exclude taxes assessed based on revenues such as sales or value added taxes.

 

As of March 31, 2018, for contracts that are greater than one year, the table below discloses the estimated revenues related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) and when we expect to recognize the revenue (in thousands):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and debt instruments. We believe that the carrying values of these instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.

 

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we believe the carrying value of our floating-rate debt outstanding under our term loans and revolving credit facilities approximates fair value because the terms include short-term interest rates and exclude penalties for prepayment. We estimated the fair value of our floating-rate term loan and revolving credit facilities using significant other observable inputs, representative of a Level 2 fair value measurement, including terms and credit spreads for these loans.

 

During the first quarter of 2018, we wrote down certain long-lived assets to fair value. Our estimates of fair value required us to use significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances that might directly impact each of the relevant asset groups’ operations in the future and are therefore uncertain. These assumptions with respect to future circumstances included future oil, coal and natural gas prices, anticipated spending by our customers, the cost of capital, and industry and/or local market conditions.

IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

 

Quarter ended March 31, 2018.  During the first quarter of 2018, we identified an indicator that certain assets used in the Canadian oil sands may be impaired due to market developments, including expected customer commitments, occurring in the first quarter of 2018.  For purposes of our impairment assessment, we separated two lodges that were previously treated as a single asset group due to the lodges no longer being used together to generate joint cash flows.  We assessed the carrying value of the asset group to determine if it continued to be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows.  Based on the assessment, the carrying value was determined to not be fully recoverable, and we proceeded to compare the estimated fair value of the asset group to its respective carrying value.  Accordingly, the value of a Canadian lodge was written down to its estimated fair value of zero.  As a result of the analysis described above, we recorded an impairment expense of $28.7 million.

 

 

7.

ACQUISITIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

Acquisitions

 

Lakeland.  On February 28, 2018, we acquired the assets of Lakeland, L.L.C. (Lakeland), located near Lake Charles, Louisiana, for total consideration of $28.0 million, composed of $23.5 million in cash and $4.5 million of our common shares.  The asset purchase agreement also includes potential future earn-out payments through December 2020 of up to 1.2 million Civeo common shares, based upon satisfaction of certain future revenue targets.  The acquisition included a 400 room accommodations facility, 40 acres of land and related assets.  We funded the cash consideration with cash on hand.  Lakeland’s operations are reported as a new open camp location, Acadian Acres, in our U.S. reportable business segment.

 

Intangible assets acquired in the Lakeland acquisition totaled $9.2 million and consisted of a customer contract. The customer contract intangible is being amortized over the remaining contract term, which was 16 months at the time of acquisition.

 

This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition based on the principles described in ASC 805, which provides a screen to determine when a set of transferred assets is not a business.  The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similarly identifiable assets, the set of transferred assets is not a business.  Accordingly, we allocated the excess consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired to the acquired assets, pro rata, on the basis of relative fair values to increase the related assets acquired.

Assets Held for Sale

 

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we made the decision to dispose of our modular construction and manufacturing plant near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada due to changing geographic and market needs. Accordingly, the facility met the criteria of held for sale. Its estimated fair value less the cost to sell exceeded its carrying value. Additionally, we have discontinued depreciation of the facility. Depreciation expense related to the facility totaled approximately $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The facility is part of our Canadian reportable business segment. 

 

In addition, certain undeveloped land positions in the British Columbia LNG market in our Canadian segment previously met the criteria of held for sale. These assets were recorded at the estimated fair value less costs to sell of approximately $4.2 million.

 

The following table summarizes the carrying amount as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of the major classes of assets from the modular construction and manufacturing plant and undeveloped land positions we classified as held for sale (in thousands):

When an entity has a net loss from continuing operations, it is prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. Accordingly, we have utilized the basic shares outstanding amount to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we excluded from the calculation 2.8 million and 1.8 million share based awards, respectively, since the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Amended Credit Agreement

 

As of December 31, 2017, our Credit Agreement, as then amended to date, provided for: (i) a $275.0 million revolving credit facility scheduled to mature on May 28, 2019, allocated as follows: (A) a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers; (B) a $90.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of Civeo and certain of our Canadian subsidiaries, as borrowers; (C) a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of Civeo, as borrower; and (D) a $85.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of one of our Australian subsidiaries, as borrower; and (ii) a $350.0 million term loan facility scheduled to mature on May 28, 2019 in favor of Civeo.

 

On April 2, 2018, the Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) became effective, which, among other things:

 

 

provided for the reduction by $35.5 million of the aggregate revolving loan commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement, to a maximum principal amount of $239.5 million, allocated as follows: (1) a $20.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers; (2) a $159.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility, after combining the commitments of the previously existing two tranches of the Canadian revolving credit facility into one tranche, in favor of Civeo and certain of our Canadian subsidiaries, as borrowers; and (3) a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of one of our Australian subsidiaries, as borrower;

provided for other technical changes and amendments to the Credit Agreement.

 

U.S. dollar amounts outstanding under the facilities provided by the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, or a base rate plus 1.25% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our total leverage to EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Canadian dollar amounts outstanding bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, or a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our consolidated total leverage to EBITDA. Australian dollar amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, based on a ratio of our consolidated total leverage to EBITDA.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict: (i) subsidiary indebtedness, liens and fundamental changes; (ii) asset sales; (iii) acquisitions of margin stock; (iv) specified acquisitions; (v) certain restrictive agreements; (vi) transactions with affiliates; and (vii) investments and other restricted payments, including dividends and other distributions. In addition, we must maintain an interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and our maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 4.50 to 1.0 (as of March 31, 2018). As noted above, the permitted maximum leverage ratio changes over time. Each of the factors considered in the calculations of these ratios are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. EBITDA and consolidated interest, as defined, exclude goodwill and asset impairments, debt discount amortization and other non-cash charges. We were in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2018.

 

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2018, we have 15 lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement, with commitments ranging from $0.7 million to $121.7 million. At April 2, 2018, the lenders that are parties to the Amended Credit Agreement were reduced to nine.

INCOME TAXES

 

Our operations are conducted through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. We have provided for income taxes based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.

 

We operate primarily in three jurisdictions, Canada, Australia and the U.S., where statutory tax rates range from 21% to 30%. Our effective tax rate will vary from period to period based on changes in earnings mix between these different jurisdictions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

We compute our quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method by applying an anticipated annual effective rate to our year-to-date income, except for significant unusual or extraordinary transactions.  As of March 31, 2018, Australia, Canada and the U.S. are loss jurisdictions for tax accounting purposes, therefore Australia, Canada and the U.S. have been removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for purposes of computing the interim tax provision.  Income taxes for any significant and unusual or extraordinary transactions are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs.

 

Our income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $0.7 million, or 1.2% of pretax loss, compared to a benefit of $2.9 million, or 12.4% of pretax loss, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  The effective tax rates in 2018 and 2017 were impacted by discrete items totaling $(1.0) million and $0.6 million, respectively. 

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (U.S. Tax Reform) was signed into law making significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.  During the first quarter 2018, we completed our evaluation of our executive compensation packages under §162(m) of the U.S. tax code, and determined that the impact on these was immaterial.  To date, the impact to us of the U.S. Tax Reform has been de minimus.  The ultimate impact of the U.S. Tax Reform on our financial statements may differ from our estimates due to additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take a result of the U.S. Tax Reform.

 

 

11.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims as a result of our products or operations. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on us, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

 

12.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

 

Our accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $7.8 million from $328.2 million at December 31, 2017 to $336.0 million at March 31, 2018, as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Changes in other comprehensive loss during the first quarter of 2018 were primarily driven by the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar decreasing in value compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding intercompany balances, our Canadian dollar and Australian dollar functional currency net assets totaled approximately C$0.1 billion and A$0.4 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2018.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

 

Our employees and non-employee directors participate in the Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Participation Plan of Civeo Corporation (the Civeo Plan). The Civeo Plan authorizes our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors to approve grants of options, awards of restricted shares, performance awards and dividend equivalents, awards of deferred shares, and share payments to our employees and non-employee directors. No more than 14.0 million Civeo common shares may be awarded under the Civeo Plan.

Outstanding Awards

 

Options. Compensation expense associated with options recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled less than $0.1 million during both periods. At March 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to options was zero.

 

Restricted Share / Deferred Share Awards. On February 20, 2018, we granted 2,018,990 restricted share awards and deferred share awards under the Civeo Plan, which vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 20, 2019.

 

Compensation expense associated with restricted share awards and deferred share awards recognized in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $1.2 million during both periods. The total fair value of restricted share awards and deferred share awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share awards and deferred share awards was $10.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

 

Phantom Share Awards. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized compensation expense associated with phantom share awards totaling $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to phantom share awards was $7.8 million, as remeasured at March 31, 2018, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year.

 

Performance Awards. On February 20, 2018, we granted 848,830 performance awards under the Civeo Plan, which cliff vest in three years on February 20, 2021. These awards will be earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based on the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s relative total shareholder return rank among a peer group that includes 17 other companies.

 

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized compensation expense associated with performance awards totaling $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards was $8.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Amended Credit Agreement

 

On April 2, 2018, we amended our Amended Credit Agreement. Please see Note 9 – Debt to the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report for further information.

 

Macroeconomic Environment

 

We provide workforce accommodations to the natural resource industry in Canada, Australia and the U.S. Demand for our services can be attributed to two phases of our customers’ projects: (1) the development or construction phase; and (2) the operations or production phase. Historically, initial demand for our services has been driven by our customers’ capital spending programs related to the construction and development of oil sands and coal mines and associated infrastructure as well as the exploration for oil and natural gas. Long-term demand for our services has been driven by continued development and expansion of natural resource production and operation of oil sands and mining facilities. In general, industry capital spending programs are based on the outlook for commodity prices, economic growth and estimates of resource production. As a result, demand for our products and services is largely sensitive to expected commodity prices, principally related to crude oil and metallurgical (met) coal.

 

20

 

 

In Canada, Western Canadian Select (WCS) crude is the benchmark price for our oil sands accommodations customers. Pricing for WCS is driven by several factors, including the underlying price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude and the availability of transportation infrastructure. Historically, WCS has traded at a discount to WTI, creating a “WCS Differential,” due to transportation costs and limited capacity to move Canadian heavy oil production to refineries, primarily along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The WCS Differential has varied depending on the extent of transportation capacity availability.

 

After beginning to drop in the second half of 2014, global oil prices dropped during the first quarter of 2016 to their lowest levels in over ten years due to concerns over global oil demand, global crude inventory levels, worldwide economic growth and price cutting by major oil producing countries, such as Saudi Arabia. Increasing global supply, including increased U.S. shale oil production, also negatively impacted pricing. With falling WTI oil prices, WCS also fell.  Prices began to increase in March 2016, and after falling slightly in the second quarter of 2017, prices continued to increase through the first quarter of 2018.  WCS prices in the first quarter of 2018 averaged $37.09 per barrel compared to a low of $20.26 in the first quarter of 2016 and a high of $83.78 in the second quarter of 2014.  The WCS Differential decreased from $26.00 per barrel at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 to $22.00 per barrel at the end of the first quarter of 2018.  As of April 23, 2018, the WTI price was $68.59 and the WCS price was $51.54, resulting in a WCS Differential of $17.05.  The current level of the WCS Differential is resulting from continued pipeline access limitations.

 

There remains a risk that prices for Canadian oil sands crude oil related products could deteriorate for an extended period of time, and the discount between WCS crude prices and WTI crude prices could widen. The depressed price levels through the first quarter of 2016 negatively impacted exploration, development, maintenance and production spending and activity by Canadian operators and, therefore, demand for our services in late 2014 and throughout 2015 and 2016. Although we have seen an increase in oil prices since late 2016 and through the first quarter of 2018, we are not expecting significant improvement in customer activity in the near-term. The current outlook for expansionary projects in Canada is primarily related to proposed pipeline and in-situ oil sands projects. However, continued uncertainty and commodity price volatility and regulatory complications could cause our Canadian oil sands and pipeline customers to delay expansionary and maintenance spending and defer additional investments in their oil sands assets.

 

Our U.S. business is also primarily tied to oil prices, specifically oil shale drilling and completion activity, and therefore WTI oil prices, in the Bakken, Rockies and Permian Basins.  With the recovery in oil prices since late 2016 and through the first quarter of 2018, coupled with ample capital availability for U.S. E&P companies, oil drilling and completion activity in the U.S. has significantly increased over the past year.   The U.S. oil rig count has increased from its low of 316 rigs in May 2016 to over 700 rigs active in the first quarter of 2018.  As of April 20, 2018, there were 820 active oil rigs in the U.S. (as measured by Bakerhughes.com).  U.S. oil drilling and completion activity will continue to be dependent on sustained higher WTI oil prices and sufficient capital to support E&P drilling and completion plans.

 

In Australia, approximately 80% of our rooms are located in the Bowen Basin and primarily serve met coal mines in that region.  Met coal pricing and production growth in the Bowen Basin region is predominantly influenced by the levels of global steel production, which increased by 4.1% during the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017.  As of April 23, 2018, met coal spot prices were $181.45 per metric tonne. The increase in met coal pricing have not led our customers to approve any significant new projects.  We expect that customers will look for a period of sustained higher prices before new projects are approved.  Long-term demand for steel is expected to be driven by increased steel consumption per capita in developing economies, such as China and India, whose current consumption per capita is a fraction of developed countries. Our customers continue to actively implement cost, productivity and efficiency measures to further drive down their cost base.

Overview

 

As noted above, demand for our services is primarily tied to the outlook for crude oil and met coal prices. Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include the general global economic environment and regulatory changes in Canada, Australia, the U.S. and other markets.

 

Our business is predominantly located in northern Alberta, Canada and Queensland, Australia, and we derive most of our business from resource companies who are developing and producing oil sands and met coal resources and, to a lesser extent, other hydrocarbon and mineral resources. More than three-fourths of our revenue is generated by our large-scale lodge and village facilities. Where traditional accommodations and infrastructure are insufficient, inaccessible or cost ineffective, our lodge and village facilities provide comprehensive accommodations services similar to those found in an urban hotel. We typically contract our facilities to our customers on a fee-per-day basis that covers lodging and meals and is based on the duration of customer needs, which can range from several weeks to several years.

 

Generally, our customers are making multi-billion dollar investments to develop their prospects, which have estimated reserve lives ranging from ten years to in excess of 30 years. Consequently, these investments are dependent on those customers’ long-term views of commodity demand and prices.

 

In response to decreases in crude oil prices beginning in late 2014, many of our customers in Canada curtailed their operations and spending, and most major oil sands mining operators began reducing their costs and limiting capital spending, thereby limiting the demand for accommodations of the kind we provide. In Australia, approximately 80% of our rooms are located in the Bowen Basin and primarily serve met coal mines in that region, where our customers continue to implement operational efficiency measures, in order to drive down their cost base.

 

In recent months, however, several catalysts have emerged that we believe could have favorable intermediate to long-term implications for our core end markets. Since the announcement by OPEC in late November 2016 to cut production quotas and the subsequent rise in spot oil prices and future oil price expectations, certain operators with steam-assisted gravity drainage operations in the Canadian oil sands increased capital spending in 2017.  Despite construction at the Fort Hill Energy LP project ending in early 2018, Canadian oil sands capital spending in 2018 is forecasted to be relatively flat, in the aggregate.  In addition, recent regulatory approvals of several major pipeline projects have the potential to both drive incremental demand for mobile accommodations assets and to improve take-away capacity for Canadian oil sands producers over the longer term.  However, these projects have been delayed due to the lack of agreement between the Canadian federal government, which supports the pipeline projects, and the British Columbia provincial government.  Additionally, we believe that the Keystone XL pipeline in the U.S., if constructed, would be a positive catalyst for Canadian oil sands producers, as it would bolster confidence in future take-away capacity from the region to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. In Australia, we believe prices are currently at a level that may contribute to increased activity over the long term if our customers view these price levels as sustainable.

 

22

 

 

While we believe that these macroeconomic developments are positive for our customers and for the underlying demand for our accommodations services, we do not expect an immediate improvement in our business. Accordingly, we plan to continue focusing on enhancing the quality of our operations, maintaining financial discipline, proactively managing our business as market conditions continue to evolve and integrating the recently acquired Noralta assets into our business.

 

We began expansion of our room count in Kitimat, British Columbia during the second half of 2015 to support potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects on the west coast of British Columbia. We were awarded a contract with LNG Canada (LNGC) for the provision of open lodge rooms and associated services that ran through October 2017. To support this contract, we developed a new accommodations facility, Sitka Lodge, which includes private washrooms, recreational facilities and other amenities. This lodge currently has 436 rooms, with the potential to expand to serve future accommodations demand in the region.

 

In addition, we were awarded a contract with LNGC to construct a 4,500 person workforce accommodation center (Cedar Valley Lodge) for a proposed liquefaction and export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. Construction of Cedar Valley Lodge will not commence until LNGC’s joint venture participants have made a positive final investment decision (FID). The FID was originally planned for the end of 2016. However, FID has been delayed. Recent public statements by LNGC and news reports indicate that FID for LNGC is expected in the second half of 2018. Should the project ultimately move forward, British Columbia LNG activity could become a material driver of future activity for our Sitka Lodge, as well as for our mobile fleet assets, which are well suited for the related pipeline construction activity.

 

However, there can be no assurance that LNGC’s joint venture participants will reach a positive FID or that our contracts with LNGC will be extended. If the LNGC project, and other potential projects in the area, do not move forward, our future results of operations and our existing long-lived assets in Canada, including our Sitka Lodge, may be negatively affected, and we may be required to record material impairment charges equal to the excess of the carrying values of these assets over their fair values. As of March 31, 2018, the net book value of long-lived assets that are currently supporting, or could be used to support, potential LNG projects in British Columbia was approximately $78 million.

 

Exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar influence our U.S. dollar reported financial results. Our business has historically derived the vast majority of its revenues and operating income in Canada and Australia. These revenues and profits are translated into U.S. dollars for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) financial reporting purposes. The Canadian dollar was valued at an average exchange rate of U.S. $0.79 for the first quarter of 2018, compared to U.S. $0.76 for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of approximately 5%. The Canadian dollar was valued at an exchange rate of $0.78 on March 31, 2018 and $0.80 on December 31, 2017. The Australian dollar was valued at an average exchange rate of U.S. $0.79 for the first quarter of 2018 compared to U.S. $0.76 for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of approximately 4%. The Australian dollar was valued at an exchange rate of $0.77 on March 31, 2018 and $0.78 on December 31, 2017. These fluctuations of the Canadian and Australian dollars have had and will continue to have an impact on the translation of earnings generated from our Canadian and Australian subsidiaries and, therefore, our financial results.

 

We continue to monitor the global economy, the demand for crude oil and met coal and the resultant impact on the capital spending plans of our customers in order to plan our business activities. We currently expect that our 2018 capital expenditures, exclusive of any business acquisitions, will total approximately $20 million to $25 million, including capital expenditures related to the recently acquired Noralta assets, compared to 2017 capital expenditures of $11.2 million. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources below for further discussion of 2018 capital expenditures.

We reported net loss attributable to Civeo for the first quarter of 2018 of $55.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. As further discussed below, net loss included (i) a $28.7 million pre-tax loss ($28.7 million after-tax, or $0.22 per diluted share) resulting from the impairment of fixed assets included in Impairment expense, and (ii) costs totaling $1.0 million ($1.0 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) incurred in connection with the Noralta acquisition, included in Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense below.

 

We reported net loss attributable to Civeo for the first quarter of 2017 of $21.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.

 

Revenues. Consolidated revenues increased $10.1 million, or 11%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. This increase was largely driven by increases in the U.S. due to overall increased activity and in Canada due to increased mobile facility rental revenue, as well as stronger Canadian and Australian dollars relative to the U.S. dollar. These items were partially offset by decreases in Canada due to lower daily rates and in Australia due to reduced take-or-pay revenues on expired contracts in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. Please see the discussion of segment results of operations below for further information.

 

Cost of Sales and Services. Our consolidated cost of sales increased $15.7 million, or 25%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by increases in the U.S. due to overall increased activity and in Canada due to increased mobile facility rental expenses, as well as stronger Canadian and Australian dollars relative to the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. Please see the discussion of segment results of operations below for further description.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expense increased $2.7 million, or 19%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense associated with phantom share awards, higher incentive compensation costs, higher salaries and wages and higher professional fees. The increase in share-based compensation was largely due to an increase in our share price during the first quarter of 2018. We use current market prices to remeasure these awards at each reporting date.

 

24

 

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.1 million, or 6%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to reduced depreciation expense resulting from impairments recorded in 2017 and certain assets becoming fully depreciated during 2017, partially offset by the impact of the stronger Canadian and Australian dollars as well as incremental intangible amortization expense related to our first quarter acquisition of the assets of Lakeland, L.L.C. (Lakeland).

 

Impairment Expense. We recorded pre-tax impairment expense of $28.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 associated with long-lived assets in our Canadian segment.

 

Please see Note 6 - Impairment Charges to the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report for further discussion.

 

Operating Loss. Consolidated operating loss increased $34.8 million, or 196%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to the impairment expense recorded in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Interest Expense and Interest Income, net. Net interest expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 9%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to the 2017 write-off of $0.8 million of debt issuance costs associated with an amendment to the Credit Agreement and lower amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the first quarter of 2017, partially offset by higher interest rates on term loan and revolving credit facility borrowings.

 

Other Income. Consolidated other income increased $2.0 million, or 789%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to the gain on sale of assets in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Income Tax Benefit. Our income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $0.7 million, or 1.2% of pretax loss, compared to a benefit of $2.9 million, or 12.4% of pretax loss, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year was largely the result of a change in the earnings mix between different tax jurisdictions. In addition, 2018 and 2017 include discrete items totaling $(1.0) million and $0.6 million, respectively.       

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income decreased $25.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments due to changes in the Canadian and Australian dollar exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar exchange rate to the U.S. dollar decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to a 1% increase in the first quarter of 2017. The Australian dollar exchange rate to the U.S. dollar decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to a 6% increase in the first quarter of 2017.

Our Canadian segment reported revenues in the first quarter of 2018 that were $2.9 million, or 5%, higher than the first quarter of 2017. The strengthening of the average exchange rates for the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar by 5% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017 resulted in a $2.8 million year-over-year increase in revenues. Excluding the impact of the stronger Canadian exchange rates, the segment experienced a 14% decline in accommodation revenues, primarily due to lower daily rates. This decline was offset by increased mobile facility rental revenue due to increased pipeline related projects occurring in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Our Canadian segment cost of sales and services increased $8.2 million, or 19%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to increased mobile facility rental activity and related costs.

 

Our Canadian segment gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 29% in the first quarter of 2017 to 19% in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower lodge rates and a shift in revenue mix, with a greater contribution from lower margin mobile facility rental and manufacturing revenues.

Our Australian segment reported revenues in the first quarter of 2018 that were $0.9 million, or 3%, higher than the first quarter of 2017. The strengthening of the average exchange rates for Australian dollars relative to the U.S. dollar by 4% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017 resulted in a $1.0 million year-over-year increase in revenues. Excluding the impact of the stronger Australian exchange rates, revenue was flat due to increased activity at our villages in the Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin, offset by reduced activity at our villages in Western Australia and reduced take-or-pay revenues on expired contracts compared to 2017.

 

Our Australian segment cost of sales increased $1.9 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. The increase was driven by higher in-house occupancy levels at our villages in the Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin.

 

Our Australian segment gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 45% in the first quarter of 2018 from 50% in the first quarter of 2017. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced take-or-pay revenues on expired contracts compared to 2017.

Our U.S. segment reported revenues in the first quarter of 2018 that were $6.3 million, or 162%, higher than the first quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to greater U.S. drilling activity in the Bakken, Rockies and Texas markets for our lodge and wellsite businesses and higher revenues from our offshore business.

 

Our U.S. cost of sales increased $5.5 million, or 110%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. The increase was driven by greater U.S. drilling activity in the Bakken, Rockies and Texas markets and greater activity in the offshore business.

 

Our U.S. segment gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased from (28)% in the first quarter of 2017 to (2)% in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to increased U.S. drilling activity in the Bakken, Rockies and Texas markets, as well as the offshore business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures, which in the past have included expanding and improving our accommodations, developing new lodges and villages, purchasing or leasing land under our land banking strategy, and for general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to repay debt, fund strategic business acquisitions and pay dividends. Historically, our primary sources of funds have been available cash, cash flow from operations, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and proceeds from equity issuances. In the future, we may seek to access the debt and equity capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity, fund acquisitions and refinance debt.

 

The following table summarizes our consolidated liquidity position as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

(1)

In connection with the effectiveness of our Amended Credit Agreement on April 2, 2018, lender commitments were reduced to $239.5 million. We also have a A$2.0 million bank guarantee facility. We had bank guarantees of A$1.3 million and A$0.8 million under this facility outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

(2)

As of March 31, 2018, there were no reductions in our availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2017, $165.8 million of our borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement could not be utilized in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio financial covenant in the Credit Agreement.

 

Cash totaling $2.8 million was provided by operations during the first quarter of 2018, compared to $9.8 million provided by operations during the first quarter of 2017. The decrease in operating cash flow in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to reduced operating margins. During the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, $3.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, was used in working capital.   

 

28

 

 

Cash was used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the amount of $23.6 million, compared to cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 in the amount of $3.3 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to $23.8 million to fund the Lakeland asset acquisition. Capital expenditures totaled $2.7 million and $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of each of 2018 and 2017 consisted primarily of routine maintenance capital expenditures. In addition, capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2017 consisted of investments in an enterprise information system.

 

We expect our capital expenditures for 2018, exclusive of any business acquisitions, to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million, which excludes any unannounced and uncommitted projects, the spending for which is contingent on obtaining customer contracts. This range includes capital expenditures related to the assets we acquired in the Noralta acquisition.  Whether planned expenditures will actually be spent in 2018 depends on industry conditions, project approvals and schedules, customer room commitments and project and construction timing. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with available cash, cash flow from operations and revolving credit borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement. The foregoing capital expenditure forecast does not include any funds for strategic acquisitions, which we could pursue depending on the economic environment in our industry and the availability of transactions at prices deemed to be attractive to us.

 

Net cash of $31.0 million was provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities of $35.6 million, partially offset by repayments of term loan borrowings of $4.1 million.  Cash borrowed of $30.3 million under the Credit Agreement in the first quarter of 2018 was used to fund the Noralta acquisition, which closed on April 2, 2018.  Net cash of $18.9 million was provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to net proceeds from our February 2017 equity offering of $64.8 million, offset by net repayments under our revolving credit facilities of $40.0 million and repayments of term loan borrowings of $3.9 million.

Balance at March 31, 2018

  $ 285,517     $ 35,328     $ --     $ 320,845  

 

We funded the cash portion of the consideration for the Noralta acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.  Our Amended Credit Agreement allows us to include in our leverage ratio calculation the trailing twelve months of an acquired company’s EBITDA on a pro forma combined basis.  By including Noralta’s EBITDA in our leverage ratio calculation, our borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement increased, thereby allowing us to borrow the necessary funds to pay the cash consideration portion of the acquisition.  Of the $161.1 million in borrowings to pay the cash consideration, $30.3 million was borrowed in the first quarter of 2018, with the remaining amount borrowed in April 2018. 

 

We believe that cash on hand and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs in the coming 12 months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, or if we make acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. Acquisitions have been, and our management believes acquisitions will continue to be, an element of our business strategy. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances or may issue equity directly to the sellers. Our ability to obtain capital for additional projects to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to shareholders. In addition, in some cases, we may incur costs to acquire land and/or construct assets without securing a customer contract or prior to finalization of an accommodations contract with a customer. If the contract is not obtained or the underlying investment decision is delayed, the resulting impact could result in an impairment of the related investment.

Amended Credit Agreement

 

On April 2, 2018, the Amended Credit Agreement became effective, which:

 

 

provided for the reduction by $35.5 million of the aggregate revolving loan commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement, to a maximum principal amount of $239.5 million, allocated as follows: (1) a $20.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers; (2) a $159.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility, after combining the commitments of the previously existing two tranches of the Canadian revolving credit facility into one tranche, in favor of Civeo and certain of our Canadian subsidiaries, as borrowers; and (3) a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of one of our Australian subsidiaries, as borrower;

 

 

extended the maturity date by 18 months, from May 30, 2019 to November 30, 2020;

 

 

adjusted the maximum leverage ratio financial covenant, as follows:

 

Period Ended

Maximum Leverage Ratio

March 31, 2018

4.50 : 1.00

June 30, 2018

4.50 : 1.00

September 30, 2018

4.25 : 1.00

December 31, 2018

3.75 : 1.00

March 31, 2019 & thereafter

3.50 : 1.00

 

; and

 

 

provided for other technical changes and amendments to the Credit Agreement.

 

U.S. dollar amounts outstanding under the facilities provided by the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, or a base rate plus 1.25% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our total leverage to EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Canadian dollar amounts outstanding bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, or a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our consolidated total leverage to EBITDA. Australian dollar amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus a margin of 2.25% to 4.00%, based on a ratio of our consolidated total leverage to EBITDA.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict: (i) subsidiary indebtedness, liens and fundamental changes; (ii) asset sales; (iii) acquisitions of margin stock; (iv) specified acquisitions; (v) certain restrictive agreements; (vi) transactions with affiliates; and (vii) investments and other restricted payments, including dividends and other distributions. In addition, we must maintain an interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and our maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 4.50 to 1.0 (as of March 31, 2018). As noted above, the permitted maximum leverage ratio changes over time. Each of the factors considered in the calculations of these ratios are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. EBITDA and consolidated interest, as defined, exclude goodwill and asset impairments, debt discount amortization and other non-cash charges. We were in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2018.

 

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2018, we had 15 lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement, with commitments ranging from $0.7 million to $121.7 million. At April 2, 2018, the lenders that are parties to the Amended Credit Agreement were reduced to nine.

 

30

 

 

Dividends

 

We do not currently pay dividends. The declaration and amount of all potential future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, prospects, industry conditions, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with certain debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement. Future agreements may also limit our ability to pay dividends, and we may incur incremental taxes if we are required to repatriate foreign earnings to pay such dividends. If we elect to pay dividends in the future, the amount per share of our dividend payments may be changed, or dividends may again be suspended, without advance notice. The likelihood that dividends will be reduced or suspended is increased during periods of market weakness. There can be no assurance that we will pay a dividend in the future.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

For additional information about our contractual obligations, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, except for net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, there were no material changes to this disclosures regarding our contractual obligations made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.  These estimates require significant judgments, assumptions and estimates.  We have discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. There have been no material changes to the judgments, assumptions and estimates upon which our critical accounting estimates are based.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We have credit facilities that are subject to the risk of higher interest charges associated with increases in interest rates. As of March 31, 2018, we had $320.8 million of outstanding floating-rate obligations under our credit facilities. These floating-rate obligations expose us to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. If floating interest rates increased by 100 basis points, our consolidated interest expense would increase by approximately $3.2 million annually, based on our floating-rate debt obligations and interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2018.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world, and we receive revenue and pay expenses from these operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in (i) currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currency of our subsidiaries, which is not necessarily the U.S. dollar. Excluding intercompany balances, our Canadian dollar and Australian dollar functional currency net assets total approximately C$0.1 billion and A$0.4 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2018. We use a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the United States dollar. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2018 would result in translation adjustments of approximately $11 million and $38 million, respectively, recorded in other comprehensive loss. Although we do not currently have any foreign exchange agreements outstanding, in order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we may enter into foreign exchange agreements with financial institutions in the future.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018, at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of our products or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses we have sold. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of businesses, and in other cases, we have indemnified the buyers of businesses from us. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

In connection with the Noralta acquisition, on January 26, 2018, a putative class action captioned Philip Suhr v. Civeo Corporation, et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Civeo and members of its board of directors.  The complaint alleges that Civeo filed a materially incomplete and misleading proxy statement in connection with the Noralta acquisition, in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The complaint originally sought injunctive relief, including to enjoin the shareholder vote on the Noralta acquisition as well as the acquisition itself, damages and an award of attorneys' fees, in addition to other relief.  On February 5, 2018, the plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction (the “Preliminary Injunction Motion”) to prevent the shareholder meeting on March 28, 2018 from taking place.  On March 22, 2018, the plaintiff withdrew the Preliminary Injunction Motion on the grounds that additional disclosures contained in Civeo’s March 22, 2018 Current Report on Form 8-K, which Civeo believes were immaterial, mooted the claims raised in the plaintiff’s complaint and asserted as the basis for the Preliminary Injunction Motion.  Civeo believes that the pending lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend vigorously against it.
