Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") (NYSE:OII) today reported net income of $44.5 million, or $0.43 per share, on revenue of $655 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted net income was $19.4 million, or $0.19 per share, reflecting the impact of $(23.7) million benefit from discrete tax adjustments, primarily due to changes in valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions and prior year estimates; $2.3 million of pre-tax adjustments associated with foreign exchange gains recognized during the quarter; and $0.9 million tax effect on adjustments associated with foreign exchange gains.

Adjusted net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share; EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins); and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impacts of certain identified items. Reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures are shown in the tables Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (EPS), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Margins, Free Cash Flow, 2024 EBITDA and 2024 Free Cash Flow Estimates, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Margins by Segment.

For the fourth quarter of 2023:

  • Net income was $44.5 million and consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $75.1 million
  • Cash flow provided by operating activities was $153 million and free cash flow was $119 million, with an ending cash position of $462 million
  • 2024 debt maturity was eliminated through a series of transactions
  • Secured consolidated order intake with expected contract value of $739 million

As of December 31, 2023:

  • Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV): fleet count was 250; Q4 utilization was 68%; and Q4 average revenue per day on hire was $9,618
  • Manufactured Products backlog was $622 million
  • Nearest debt maturity is $500 million in February 2028

Guidance for 2024:

  • Net income is expected in the range of $125 million to $155 million
  • Consolidated EBITDA is expected in the range of $330 million to $380 million
  • Free cash flow generation is expected in the range of $110 million to $150 million
  • Capital expenditures are expected in the range of $110 million to $130 million
  • First quarter consolidated EBITDA is expected in the range of $50 million to $60 million

Roderick A. Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering, stated, "2023 consolidated revenue increased 17% over 2022 to $2.4 billion, driving our fifth consecutive year of improved adjusted EBITDA performance. For the full year of 2023, our adjusted EBITDA of $289 million was slightly above the midpoint of our most recent guidance range and we generated $109 million of free cash flow. All of our operating segments, except for Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (IMDS), achieved improved sequential annual operating results, led by Subsea Robotics (SSR) and Manufactured Products. I am grateful to our Oceaneers for their dedication and commitment to excellence in delivering these results.

"2023 cash flow from operations increased to $210 million, compared to $121 million in 2022. Capital expenditures also increased, from $81.0 million in 2022 to $101 million in 2023. Free cash flow increased to $109 million, compared to $39.8 million in 2022. Our ability to generate substantial levels of free cash flow over the last several years enabled us to retire our 2024 senior notes during the year, using proceeds from our 2023 debt offering together with cash on hand. As a result, we reduced Oceaneering’s long-term debt from $700 million at the end of 2022 to $500 million at the end of 2023 and extended the term of our credit facility to April 2027. As reflected in the 2024 guidance above, we expect to see continuing improvement in our financial performance and condition, including another year of meaningful free cash flow generation.

“Our fourth quarter 2023 performance produced consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $75.1 million, which was above the mid-point of the implied guidance range provided at the beginning of the quarter and slightly above consensus estimates."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Segment Results

SSR's fourth quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA represented its best quarter in 2023. Sequentially, operating income and revenue improved slightly, with lower activity levels in the ROV and survey businesses being offset by continuing improvement in ROV pricing. As a result, SSR EBITDA margin of 32% during the fourth quarter was above the 31% achieved during the third quarter of 2023. Revenue split was 76% from the ROV business and 24% from the combined tooling and survey businesses.

ROV days on hire declined 2% as compared to the third quarter of 2023. Increased drill support days were more than offset by lower vessel-based days due to normal seasonality. Fourth quarter average ROV revenue per day on hire of $9,618 was 3% higher than in the third quarter of 2023.

Manufactured Products revenue of $133 million was 8% higher than in the third quarter of 2023 on increased product throughput in Oceaneering Mobile Robotics. Operating income and margin of $5.4 million and 4%, respectively, declined sequentially due to changes in product mix. As recently announced, Manufactured Products had solid bookings during the fourth quarter of approximately $200 million and ended 2023 with a backlog of $622 million, compared to the September 30, 2023 backlog of $556 million. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.31 for the full year of 2023.

Offshore Projects Group (OPG) operating income declined sequentially on higher revenue. Revenue benefited from the carryover of international work from the third quarter along with more seasonal activity in the Gulf of Mexico than originally expected. Operating income margin of 9% declined from 18% achieved in the third quarter of 2023, due primarily to changes in project mix and pricing for Gulf of Mexico work.

IMDS revenue and operating income were essentially flat period over period. Operating income margin of 5% for the fourth quarter was flat as compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech) fourth quarter revenue and operating income declined from the third quarter of 2023. ADTech operating income margin declined sequentially to 12%, due to changes in project mix.

Fourth quarter 2023 Unallocated Expenses of $37.9 million were lower than the third quarter.

Full Year and First Quarter 2024 Guidance

2024 financial results are forecasted to improve year over year based on 2023 year-end backlog and continuing supportive market fundamentals. As outlined in the guidance above, EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $330 million to $380 million, with increased EBITDA and operating income from each operating segment, including higher margins in the SSR and OPG segments, and relatively stable margins in the Manufactured Products, IMDS and ADTech segments. At the midpoint of this range, 2024 EBITDA would represent a 23% increase over 2023 adjusted EBITDA. Free cash flow for 2024 is expected to be in the range of $110 million to $150 million.

For the first quarter 2024, EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $50 million to $60 million. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2023 is primarily due to the timing of vessel charters and two vessels undergoing planned, regulatory dry docks during the first quarter, leading to fewer available vessel days in the first quarter for OPG.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP TO GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this Press Release also includes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission). We have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share, each of which excludes the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. As a result, these amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful measures for investors to review because they provide consistent measures of the underlying results of our ongoing business. Furthermore, our management uses these measures as measures of the performance of our operations. We have also included disclosures of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA Margins, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Estimates, and Free Cash Flow, as well as the following by segment: EBITDA, EBITDA Margins, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins. We define EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins and related information by segment exclude the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. EBITDA and EBITDA Margins, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins, and related information by segment are each non-GAAP financial measures. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow provided by operating activities less organic capital expenditures (i.e., purchases of property and equipment other than those in business acquisitions). We have included these disclosures in this press release because EBITDA, EBITDA Margins and Free Cash Flow are widely used by investors for valuation purposes and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of other companies in our industry, and the adjusted amounts thereof provide more consistent measures than the unadjusted amounts. Furthermore, our management uses these measures for purposes of evaluating our financial performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, EBITDA Margins and Free Cash Flow (and the Adjusted amounts thereof) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as substitutes for our reported operating results, cash flows or any other measure prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. The tables that follow provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
