“Strong performance in the fourth-quarter was great way to close out 2023 for Dril-Quip with double-digit growth in both annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA, showcasing significant progress toward our longer-term financial, operational, and strategic objectives," said Jeff Bird, Dril-Quip’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Bookings in the fourth quarter came in at $123 million driven by securing a subsea production system tender for approximately $40 million in Australia. Further, we signed 11 new MSAs this year, setting the stage for continued stable top-line growth.”

“With improved reporting lines, leaner operations, and quicker delivery times for our customers, we are well positioned to capitalize on the ongoing offshore upcycle and drive future margins meaningfully higher. Our strong balance sheet and financial flexibility allow us to continue to evaluate both organic and inorganic growth opportunities to capture incremental market share and ultimately drive sustained, profitable growth for our shareholders.”

2024 Financial Outlook

Revenue growth of 15%-20%
Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million to $75 million
Subsea Product Bookings of $200 million to $225 million
Capital Expenditures 3-5% of revenue

Operational and Financial Results

Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Operating Margin

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $126.3 million, up $9.1 million from the third quarter of 2023 and up $29.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by the rebound of Subsea Services activity and the first full quarter of Great North post-acquisition, which contributed $19.7 million in the quarter.

For the full year 2023, revenue was $424.1 million, up $62.1 million from the full year of 2022. Well Construction revenues increased $51.3 million year-over-year, primarily driven by the acquisition of Great North as well as large-bore liner hanger growth in offshore Brazil, Mexico, and West Africa. Subsea Services segment revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $101.3 million, and Subsea Products segment revenue increased 2% compared to the prior year to $198.3 million.

Cost of sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $91.7 million, an increase of $6.1 million sequentially and $25.1 million year-over year. Gross operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 27.4%, up from 27.0% for the third quarter of 2023 and down from 31.2% year-over-year. Gross margins decreased year-over-year, driven by unfavorable product line mix within Subsea Products and some international start-up costs in our Well Construction segment.

Cost of sales for the full year of 2023 was $308.5 million, an increase of $42.6M from the full year 2022. Gross margin for the full year 2023 was 27.3% compared to a gross margin of 26.5% for the full year 2022. The increase in gross margin year-over-year can be attributed to favorable product line mix and the impact of productivity initiatives.

Selling, General, Administrative, and Engineering Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $29.8 million, an increase of $2.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 and an increase of $2.9 million year-over-year. SG&A expenses for the full year 2023 were $101.5 million, an increase of $7.3M compared to the full year 2022. SG&A increased sequentially and year-over-year primarily due the addition of Great North expenses and severance.

Engineering and product development expenses were $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.1 million from the third quarter of 2023. Engineering and product development expense of $12.6 million for the full year of 2023 increased $0.9M compared to the full year 2022. The year-over-year increase is attributed to increased testing and qualifications related to specific international customer requirements.

Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per share. This compares to net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.21 per share, for the third quarter of 2023 and a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, in the prior year period. For the full year of 2023, the Company reported a net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.05 loss per share, for the full year of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $16.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $4.2 million sequentially, and $6.3 million from one year ago. For the full year of 2023, adjusted EBITDA was $46.5 million, an increase of 56% year-over-year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA year-over-year can be attributed to leverage on incremental revenues and the acquisition of Great North in the third quarter of 2023.

Cash provided by operations was $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.9 million sequentially and $43.7 million compared to fourth quarter of 2022. Free cash flow was $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an improvement of $37.3 million year-over-year, and a decrease of $3.3 million sequentially.

Cash provided by operations was $7.7 million, and free cash flow was a negative $24.9 million for the full year of 2023. The cash provided by operations increased $44.5 million compared to the full year of 2022. The increase was driven by receipt of U.S. tax refunds and improvements in our cash conversion cycle. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $11.6 million and $32.6 million for the full year of 2023, the majority of which were related to investments in manufacturing equipment and rental tools bound for work already secured.

Net proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment was $23 million in the fiscal year 2023, primarily related to the sale of our aftermarket and administration buildings.

Share Repurchases

During 2023, the Company did not make any share repurchases. The Company has approximately $103 million remaining of the current authorization by the Board of Directors. The Company continues to evaluate the amount and timing of its share repurchases as part of its overall capital allocation strategy.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are defined as net income (loss) and earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impact of foreign currency gains or losses as well as other significant non-cash items and certain charges and credits.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and credits.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures enable it to evaluate and compare more effectively the results of our operations period over period and identify operating trends by removing the effect of its capital structure from its operating structure. In addition, the Company believes that these measures are supplemental measurement tools used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance, ability to pursue and service possible debt opportunities and make future capital expenditures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow do not represent funds available for our discretionary use and are not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

See “Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information concerning non-GAAP financial information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information supplements and should be read together with, and is not an alternative or substitute for, the Company’s financial results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial information is not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures.
