Hornbeck Offshore Announces Record Results for Second Quarter 2005 and Increases Calendar 2005 and Calendar 2006 Guidance
|
|
Q3 OSV dayrates currently exceed previous all-time high of $12,700 set in 2001 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) announced today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second quarter revenues increased $10.8 million, or 35.6%, to $41.1 million compared to $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2004. Operating income was $13.8 million, or 33.6% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $7.6 million, or 25.1% of revenues, for the same quarter in 2004. These increases were driven primarily by continued strengthening in OSV market conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 increased 400% to $7.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of 2004 of $1.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. This increase in quarterly net income includes an after-tax gain on the sale of assets of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, resulting from the disposition of one recently retired OPA 90 single-hulled tank barge, the Energy 9801, and one offshore tug, the Yabucoa Service. Significantly higher dayrates and utilization in the OSV segment contributed to a 61.7% increase in EBITDA to $21.5 million over the second quarter of 2004, which exceeded the Company's guidance range of $18 to $20 million for the second quarter of 2005. Please refer to the attached table for a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Todd Hornbeck, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO, stated, "The on- going increase in drilling and production activity in the deepwater and deep shelf segments of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico continues to put upward pressure on our OSV dayrates. Market indications are that all available U.S.-flagged new generation OSVs in the Gulf of Mexico are currently working at full practical utilization, with anecdotal signs of additional increases in drilling and production activity visible into 2007. Since the end of the second quarter, our fleetwide average OSV dayrates have broken through our previous all-time high of $12,700 set in the fourth quarter of 2001. Our fleet is currently averaging above $13,000 per day, with leading edge spot rates averaging well above that level. With roughly 40% and 70% of our available vessel days for the remainder of 2005 and calendar 2006 still uncontracted, our OSV fleet is well positioned to participate in any further rate increases over current levels. "With our tug and tank barge fleet complement currently in a state of transition, we are pleased that our revenue for that segment for the first half of 2005 is in-line with the first half of 2004 and ahead of plan year-to- date, even though our average fleet capacity was down 17% from the prior-year period. Also, we look forward to the incremental contribution that our five new barges are expected to have on our 2006 results," added Hornbeck. OSV Segment. Revenues from the OSV segment were $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 52.9% from $17.4 million for the same period in 2004. The net increase in segment revenues is due to the quarter- over-quarter increase in average dayrates and utilization, primarily related to a substantial improvement in OSV market conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company's OSV utilization rate was 96.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 83.8% achieved for the same period of 2004. The average OSV dayrate in the second quarter of 2005 improved 28.2%, or $2,722 per day, to $12,364 compared to $9,642 for the same period of 2004. Second quarter 2005 average fleet utilization was up 2 points sequentially from the first quarter of 2005, while average dayrates improved $787 per day over the first quarter of 2005. In addition, our effective, or utilization adjusted, dayrate increased 47.8% from the prior year quarter and 9.2% from the sequential quarter. These improvements in operations resulted in our operating income being more than double the prior year quarter. Tug and Tank Barge Segment. Tug and tank barge segment revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were up 12.2% over the same period in 2004 to $14.5 million, despite having 182 less barge days available in the second quarter. Operating income decreased by $0.1 million to $1.4 million, due in part to higher depreciation and amortization. Utilization in the tug and tank barge segment increased to 85.4% from 79.9% in last year's second quarter, primarily due to a change in contract mix from contracts of affreightment (COA) to time charters and less drydocking and repair activities. Average dayrates grew to $12,673 from $10,842 during the same period. The increase in average dayrates was primarily related to the OPA 90-related tightening of the tank barge market in the northeastern United States. A transitional decrease in fleet capacity, coupled with a related increase in external tug usage, contributed to a reduction in operating margins to 9.6% from 11.9% a year ago. However, operating margins in this segment are expected to increase in 2006 once all five of the double-hulled barges under the current newbuild program are in service for a full year. First Half Results Revenues for the first six months of 2005 increased 28.2% to $79.0 million compared to $61.6 million for the same period in 2004. Operating income was $26.3 million, or 33.3% of revenues, for the six months of 2005 compared to $16.5 million, or 26.8% of revenues, for the same period in 2004. Net income for the first six months of 2005 increased over 300% to $13.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2004. The Company's first half results were positively impacted by the addition of two foreign-flagged anchor-handling towing supply (AHTS) vessels that were acquired in 2005 and one fast supply vessel that was acquired in April 2004. The Company's net income for the first six months of 2005 included a $1.7 million ($1.1 million after tax or $0.05 per share) loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the January 2005 redemption of the non-tendered 10.625% senior notes that were still outstanding as of December 31, 2004. Outlook The following statements are based on management's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any future capital transactions, such as business combinations, divestitures, financings, unannounced newbuilds or vessel acquisitions that may be completed after the date of this news release. In addition, the Company's guidance ranges are based on the assumption that current market conditions in both of the Company's business segments will continue through at least the end of 2006. Any material change in market conditions in either of the Company's two business segments could affect its guidance. Jim Harp, the Company's Executive Vice President and CFO, stated, "We have again upwardly revised our annual 2005 and 2006 guidance ranges to reflect our actual results for the second quarter of 2005 and currently expected fleet complement through 2006, as well as our latest market outlook based on current visibility in each of our business segments. We are increasingly more comfortable that the robust market conditions we are experiencing in the Gulf of Mexico will continue through 2006, and possibly beyond. We are also optimistic that the supply-demand equation affecting our northeastern U.S. barge operations will remain favorable for the foreseeable future. Our 2006 guidance includes a full-year contribution from all five of our newbuild tank barges, but does not reflect any contribution from the multipurpose supply vessel (MPSV) conversion program that we announced last quarter. For guidance purposes, we do not expect to place the two 370 class MPSVs into service until the first quarter of 2007, at which time we expect them to contribute, in the aggregate, incremental full-year diluted EPS in the range of $0.25 to $0.35." Third Quarter 2005 Guidance. The Company expects EBITDA for the third quarter of 2005 to range between $22.0 million and $24.0 million. Please refer to the attached table for a definition and reconciliation of forward EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company expects diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2005 to range between $0.34 and $0.40. Updated Calendar 2005 Guidance. The Company now expects total EBITDA for the full year 2005 to range between $85.0 million and $90.0 million and diluted earnings per share is now expected to range between $1.34 and $1.49, excluding the aforementioned $0.05 per share loss on early extinguishment of debt incurred during the first quarter of 2005. Updated Calendar 2006 Guidance. The Company now expects total EBITDA for the full year 2006 to range between $100.0 million and $110.0 million and diluted earnings per share is now expected to range between $1.60 and $1.89. Key Assumptions. The above guidance reflects management's belief that current favorable OSV market conditions will continue through the remainder of 2005 and all of 2006. Average OSV dayrates are expected to remain at or above $13,000 and average fleetwide utilization is expected to remain in the mid-90% range throughout the 2005 and 2006 guidance periods. While fleetwide average OSV dayrates have recently exceeded historical peak levels of roughly $12,700, the Company has assumed for guidance purposes a gradual increase in effective OSV dayrates for the balance of 2005 from current levels, while holding 2006 constant with expected 2005 year-end levels. The above guidance also reflects the fact that 2005 is a transition year for the Hornbeck tug and tank barge fleet. The first half of 2005 was impacted by the temporary loss of tank barge capacity due to the timing of OPA 90 retirements and newbuild delivery dates, the extra cost burden related to a lower tug-barge ratio in early 2005, as well as the previously reported delays in delivery schedules for the first two newbuilds of the Company's five barge newbuild program. The net effect of the decrease in capacity due to such OPA 90-related retirements and the incremental contribution from the newbuild capacity is expected to result in EBITDA from the tug and tank barge segment of approximately 25% of the mid-point of the company-wide 2005 upwardly revised guidance range of $85.0 million to $90.0 million. Guidance for 2006 assumes a full-year contribution from all five new barges, which is expected to result in EBITDA from the tug and tank barge segment of approximately 33% of the mid-point of the company-wide 2006 guidance range of $100 million to $110 million. The Company expects year-over-year increases of approximately 10% in its aggregate operating and G&A expenses for both 2005 and 2006 commensurate with prevailing oilfield service industry trends and higher costs related to corporate governance. G&A is assumed to remain at approximately 11% of revenue for both 2005 and 2006. However, the above guidance assumes that improvements in revenue will allow the Company to maintain or improve operating and net income margins for each of the next two years. Recent Developments Tank Barge Newbuild Program Update. On July 10, 2005, the Energy 11103, the second double-hulled tank barge, and first of three 110,000-barrel units, to be built under the Company's current newbuild program, was delivered and, upon its mobilization to the northeastern United States from the shipyard, immediately commenced service under a fixed two-year time charter with a major oil company. The remaining three double-hulled tank barges currently under construction are still expected to be delivered during the fourth quarter 2005. Rationalization of Tug & Tank Barge Fleet. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold one inactive single-hulled tank barge, the Energy 9801, and one offshore tug, the Yabucoa Service. Gross proceeds from the sale of the two vessels were $2.0 million, which resulted in an aggregate pre-tax gain of $1.1 million. The disposition of the Energy 9801, which was retired from service pursuant to OPA 90 in December 2004, was an unexpected windfall for the Company and eliminated further stacking costs that would have otherwise been incurred. The sale of the tug was part of the Company's on-going efforts to rationalize its tug fleet to better position itself to power the larger barges now under construction. In addition, the Company recently signed an agreement to purchase two additional 6,000 horsepower tugs, which it expects to retrofit and place in service during the fourth quarter of this year as the newbuild tank barges are delivered from the shipyard. The estimated aggregate cost to purchase and retrofit these two additional higher horsepower tugs is approximately $16.0 million. Change in Disclosures relating to EBITDA. In response to a recent review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year 2004, commencing with this press release the Company is modifying its required disclosures regarding the use of EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. Notable changes from prior disclosures include the exclusion of interest income from the Company's definition of EBITDA. In addition, the Company is changing its presentation to discuss EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, to reconcile EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities. The Company also plans to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005 to reflect these changes in EBITDA disclosure. In addition, with respect to the amended Form 10-K, the Company plans to set forth risk factors comparable to those disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2005.

(8) Non-GAAP Financial Measures We disclose and discuss EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the SEC. We define EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. We view EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, we believe that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities. Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ability to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and other maintenance capital expenditures. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. EBITDA is also one of the financial metrics used by management (i) as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive cash bonuses paid to our executive officers and other shore-based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess our ability to service existing fixed charges and incur additional indebtedness. Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating activities.
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to supplement our GAAP results.
(9) Projected cash flows provided by operating activities are based, in
part, on estimated future "changes in working capital" and "changes
in other, net," that are susceptible to significant variances due to
the timing at quarter-end of cash inflows and outflows, most of which
are beyond the Company's ability to control. However, any future
variances in those two line items from the above forward looking
reconciliations should result in an equal and opposite adjustment to
actual cash flows provided by operating activities.
(10) The Company's new disclosure presentation of EBITDA as a liquidity
measure was not adopted until the time of this press release.
Therefore, EBITDA was not previously reconciled to "cash flows
provided by operating activities" as its most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure at the time that the prior forward guidance
estimates for 2005 and 2006 were originally reported.
