Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2021 Highlights:

Fourth quarter revenues of $159.8 million, net income of $9.8 million and operating cash flow of $25.3 million;

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $34.5 million and free cash flow of $26.1 million;

Reduced net leverage ratio to 1.49x as of December 31, 2021 from 1.86x as of September 30, 2021; and

$88.5 million of operating cash flow and $87.3 million of free cash flow for the full year 2021.

HOUSTON & CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

“Despite pandemic-related headwinds throughout 2021, Civeo continued to operate safely, generate significant free cash flow, and substantially reduce our total debt balance as well as our net leverage ratio. We also replaced and refinanced our entire credit agreement, which extends the maturity of all of our debt outstanding to September 2025, and announced a share repurchase program,” said Bradley J. Dodson, Civeo's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Dodson continued, “I am proud of the Civeo team's execution and perseverance in this tough operating environment that helped us generate full-year operating cash flow of over $85 million. Our 2021 results and accomplishments were a testament to the hard work of our team and the winning combination of our diversified revenue profile and our continued capital discipline.”

Mr. Dodson added, “Our strategic investment in diversifying our revenue profile over the last few years has paid off again in 2021 as we have experienced volatility across our business segments related to the pandemic, international trade disputes and substantial commodity price fluctuations. We will continue to seek opportunities to expand our customer base and geographic footprint to reduce volatility in our free cash flow generation as we continue to reduce our leverage, improving our financial and strategic flexibility.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Civeo generated revenues of $159.8 million and reported net income of $9.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. During the fourth quarter of 2021, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $25.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $34.5 million and free cash flow of $26.1 million.

By comparison, in the fourth quarter of 2020, Civeo generated revenues of $133.4 million and reported a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.16 per share. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $36.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $23.7 million and free cash flow of $33.2 million.

Overall, the increase in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to an increase in Canadian occupancy and Canadian mobile camp activity, partially offset by decreased Australian village billed rooms. Adjusted EBITDA was also positively impacted by a $3.8 million gain on sale of assets from the fourth quarter 2021 sale of our West Permian lodge, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in labor costs in Australia.

Full Year 2021 Results

For the full year 2021, the Company reported revenues of $594.5 million and a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2021 was $109.1 million. This compared to revenues of $529.7 million and a net loss of $136.1 million, or $9.64 per share, for the full year 2020. The loss in 2020 resulted in part from $144.1 million in goodwill and asset impairments, partially offset by $4.7 million of income associated with the settlement of a representations and warranties claim. Adjusted EBITDA was $108.1 million in 2020. Results for the full year of 2021 reflect the impact of a strengthened Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which increased revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by $40.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

The modest increase in Adjusted EBITDA in 2021 as compared to 2020 was largely driven by increased mobile camp activity in our Canadian segment, as well as the favorable currency impact noted above, partially offset by decreased billed rooms and increased labor costs across the Australian segment.

Business Segment Results

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the fourth quarter of 2021 to the results for the fourth quarter of 2020.)

Canada

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Canada segment generated revenues of $92.2 million, operating income of $6.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million, compared to revenues of $65.5 million, operating loss of $4.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Results from the fourth quarter of 2021 reflect the impact of a strengthened Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which increased revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

On a constant currency basis, the Canadian segment experienced a 36% period-over-period increase in revenues driven by (1) a 25% year-over-year increase in billed rooms and (2) increased mobile camp work related to pipeline construction. Adjusted EBITDA for the Canadian segment increased 68% year-over-year primarily due to the aforementioned dynamics and operating leverage.

Australia

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Australia segment generated revenues of $62.3 million, operating income of $2.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $13.6 million, compared to revenues of $63.7 million, operating income of $3.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $17.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

On a constant currency basis, the Australian segment experienced a 2% period-over-period decrease in revenues driven by decreased occupancy at our Bowen Basin villages. Australian village occupancy decreased 3% year-over-year largely due to continued uncertainty created by the China/Australia trade dispute and COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA from the Australian segment decreased 21% year-over-year due to lower village occupancy as well as increased labor costs which were largely the result of COVID related travel and border restrictions.

U.S.

The U.S. segment generated revenues of $5.3 million, operating loss of $3.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to revenues of $4.2 million, operating loss of $3.2 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increase was primarily due to increased activity in our lodges and offshore business, as well as the aforementioned gain on the sale of our West Permian Lodge.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2021, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $92.8 million, consisting of $86.5 million available under its revolving credit facilities and $6.3 million of cash on hand.

Civeo’s total debt outstanding on December 31, 2021 was $175.1 million, a $20.1 million decrease since September 30, 2021 and a $76.0 million decrease from December 31, 2020.

Civeo reduced its net leverage ratio to 1.49x as of December 31, 2021 from 1.86x as of September 30, 2021.

During 2021, Civeo invested $15.6 million in capital expenditures, up from $10.1 million during 2020. This increase is primarily due to increased Canadian lodge maintenance coupled with increased Canadian pipeline-related capital expenditures.

Full Year 2022 Guidance

For the full year of 2022, Civeo expects revenues of $600.0 million to $615.0 million, EBITDA of $90.0 million to $95.0 million and capital expenditures of $20.0 million to $25.0 million.

(1)	The term EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain other unusual or non-operating items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provide investors a helpful measure for comparing Civeo's operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Civeo uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.

	The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in thousands) (unaudited):

	(a)	Relates to asset impairments in the second quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our Australian segment of $7.9 million, which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations.

		In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our Canadian segment of $38.1 million and a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our U.S. segment of $12.4 million, which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations.

	(b)	Relates to the impairment of goodwill recorded in the first quarter of 2020. The $93.6 million impairment is related to our Canada reporting unit and is included in Impairment expense on the statements of operations.

	(c)	In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded $4.7 million of income associated with the settlement of a representations and warranties claim related to the Noralta acquisition, which is included in Other income on the unaudited statements of operations.

(2)	The term Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included Free Cash Flow as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the cash flow generating ability of its business relative to its capital expenditure and debt service obligations. Civeo uses Free Cash Flow to compare and to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate Civeo's business. It is also used as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.
