“We are excited to begin our journey as Apergy. Our team did an exceptional job of successfully completing our separation from Dover, while maintaining continued focus on our customers and generating strong results. I want to thank all of our employees and customers for their support through this transition,” said Sivasankaran "Soma" Somasundaram, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a stand-alone publicly traded company, we are focused on delivering differentiated performance by being relentless advocates for our customers, developing and deploying leading technology with proven impact, and driving continuous improvement across our organization.

“I am pleased with our second quarter results. We executed well and both of our segments delivered sound operational results. Apergy’s strong performance was driven by solid U.S. onshore activity, improving international activity, and our continued execution in the marketplace. On a year-over-year basis, all of our major products, including polycrystalline diamond cutters and bearings, artificial lift, and digital products and services, posted strong revenue growth. Artificial lift as well as digital products and services posted particularly strong growth in the quarter. In addition to revenue growth, margins expanded due to operating leverage driven by our continued focus on execution, productivity improvements, and cost discipline. 

“We expect oil and gas prices for the second half of 2018 will remain constructive for market activity, continued E&P investments, and further improvement in international market activity. Accordingly, we believe our business is well positioned to take advantage of these market factors. With respect to the recent Permian take-away capacity issues, we remain in continuing conversations with our customers as their plans evolve. If there is some pull-back in the Permian, then we believe producers will direct capital to other basins in which we are well positioned to serve their needs,” concluded Somasundaram.

Production & Automation Technologies

Production and Automation Technologies revenue increased $42.5 million, or 21%, year-over-year driven by strong growth in artificial lift, digital products, and improving international activity. We experienced robust growth in our ESP product line driven by continued penetration in U.S. onshore ESP markets. Segment operating profit increased $13.4 million, or 134%, year-over-year. Adjusted segment EBITDA increased $17.6 million, or 48%, year-over-year primarily driven by revenue growth and related operating leverage, with margins expanding to 22.6% from 18.5% in the prior year period.

On a sequential basis, revenue increased $26.0 million, or 12%. Segment operating profit increased $13.0 million, or 126% as a result of the higher volume. Adjusted segment EBITDA increased $14.5 million, or 36%, sequentially benefitting from operating leverage associated with the strong topline growth.

Revenue from digital products within Production and Automation Technologies was $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $8.9 million, or 43%, compared to $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $5.5 million, or 23%, from $24.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue growth in digital products was driven by the launch of new products and strong market activity.

Drilling Technologies

Drilling Technologies revenue increased $7.3 million, or 13%, year-over-year as a result of increased worldwide rig count and footage drilled. Segment operating profit increased $1.4 million, or 7%, year-over-year driven by higher revenue, partially offset by increased spending to support diamond bearings growth. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased by $1.2 million, or 5%, year-over-year driven by the increased volume.

On a sequential basis, revenue decreased by $4.0 million, or 6%, primarily due to the 14% sequential decline in North America average rig count, driven by the seasonally lower rig counts in Canada. As expected, during the quarter average Canadian rig counts declined by approximately 60% sequentially, which was only partially offset by the increase in U.S. average rig count. As we exited the second quarter, order rates have rebounded with the increasing Canadian rig count. Segment operating profit decreased $2.8 million, or 12%, sequentially. Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased by $2.9 million, or 11%, due to the lower sequential revenue.

About Non-GAAP Measures

This release presents information about Apergy’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Apergy, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted working capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures made available as a supplement, and not an alternative, to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in the accompanying financial tables for the reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA are defined as, or as a result of, net income excluding income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization expense, separation and supplemental benefit costs associated with the spinoff from Dover Corporation, royalty expense incurred only prior to the spinoff, and restructuring and other related charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted segment EBITDA are defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA, respectively, divided by revenue.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, excluding separation and supplemental benefit costs associated with the spinoff from Dover Corporation, royalty expense incurred only prior to the spinoff, and restructuring and other related charges.

Adjusted working capital is defined as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable. We believe adjusted working capital provides a meaningful measure of our operational results by showing changes caused by revenue or our operational initiatives.

References to net income, diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are exclusive of noncontrolling interests.

These non-GAAP financial measures are included to help facilitate comparisons of Apergy’s operating performance across periods by excluding items that do not reflect the core operating results of our businesses. As such, Apergy’s management believes making available non-GAAP financial measures as a supplemental measurement to investors is useful because it allows investors to evaluate Apergy's performance using the same methodology and information used by Apergy management.
