Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 9, 2016, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the quarterly and year-to-date financial information determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the attached press release, the press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding the Company’s past financial performance and future financial performance. The attached press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Consolidated and Segment adjusted income before taxes, excluding the Company’s Maritech segment and special charges. Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show TETRA’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may be presented on a consolidated and segment basis. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or cost basis, and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
Net Debt. Net Debt is defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management believes that Net Debt provides information concerning the Company’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
Adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted free cash flow is cash from operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech’s asset retirement obligations, less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds, and including cash distributions to TETRA from CSI Compressco LP. Management believes this is an important supplemental financial measure because it allows management to assess the Company’s ability to retire debt, and evaluate the capacity to further invest and grow.

The methods the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure of each non-GAAP financial measure is included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TETRA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

The Woodlands, Texas (May 9, 2016) - TETRA Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TTI) today announced first quarter 2016 adjusted loss per share of $(0.24), excluding Maritech and other charges, which compares to $(0.03) per share in the first quarter of 2015, also excluding Maritech and other charges. First quarter 2016 revenue of $169.3 million declined 34.3% from the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of a 36% reduction in the North American rig count.

Consolidated GAAP first quarter 2016 earnings per share attributable to TETRA stockholders including Maritech and other charges was a loss of $(1.11), which compares to a loss of $(0.06) in the first quarter of 2015. (Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the schedule.)

Highlights of the 2016 first quarter include:
TETRA first quarter adjusted free cash flow(1) of $18.5 million.
During the first quarter, TETRA reduced total debt outstanding by $11.7 million, which resulted in an EBITDA leverage ratio(2) of 2.08x.
First quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA(3) of $23.6 million for our Compression Division.
A growing backlog in our Offshore Services segment as we enter the favorable season for offshore activity.
Continued aggressive reduction of expenses across the company, including salary reductions and reduced workweek schedules.
(1)
Non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to GAAP in Schedule G.
(2)
Leverage ratio is defined by TETRA’s credit agreement as outstanding debt plus letters of credit, divided by trailing twelve-month EBITDA excluding unusual charges, Maritech losses, and CSI Compressco distributions.
(3)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to GAAP in Schedule F.

Analysis of First Quarter Results
    
Stuart M. Brightman, TETRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the first quarter of 2016, most of the markets in which we operate continued to experience a severe decline in activity and high levels of competitiveness. Despite this unfavorable environment, we were able to generate adjusted free cash flow of $18.5 million in the first quarter. We also took additional actions in the first quarter to reduce our cost structure.

“Our Fluids Division’s revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $59.1 million compared to $99.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. This decrease was predominately a result of significantly reduced activity and product volumes in the Gulf of Mexico and North America. A portion of this is due to multiple unexpected dry wells related to projects for our customers in addition to the overall decline in demand. The first quarter decline in the Division’s revenues was further exacerbated by a lack of cold weather that impacted industrial sales of our chemical products. This reduction in activity led to an adjusted loss before taxes of $(244) thousand in the first quarter of 2016 compared to adjusted income before taxes of $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. While we have continued to see decreased activity for the Division in the second quarter, we expect the second half of 2016 to improve based on specific projects in our backlog as well as an anticipated slight improvement in activity in North America.

“Our Production Testing Division’s first quarter 2016 results represent a sequential decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015 with an adjusted loss before taxes of $(2.3) million compared to an adjusted loss before taxes of $(0.9) in the fourth quarter of last year. This was driven primarily by reduced activity in North America and in certain international markets, as well as pricing pressure in certain international markets. We expect to see similar challenges for this Division in the second quarter, and we anticipate a slight improvement in activity in the second half of the year.

“For the first quarter of 2016 our Compression Division reported an adjusted loss before taxes of $(4.3) million compared to an adjusted loss before taxes of $(0.9) million in the fourth quarter of 2015. A decrease in utilization and equipment sales negatively impacted first quarter results. Adjusted EBITDA for the Division of $23.6 million for the first quarter was slightly below $28.4 million of adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015. We continue to take aggressive cost actions across the business, in both fabrication and compression services. On April 19, 2016, CSI Compressco LP declared a distribution of $0.3775 per outstanding unit attributable to the first quarter of 2016, unchanged from the distribution amount declared for the fourth quarter of 2015. This distribution resulted in a coverage ratio of 1.11x for the first quarter of 2016.

“Our Offshore Services segment reported an adjusted loss before taxes of $(7.7) million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to an adjusted loss before taxes of $(8.6) million for the first quarter of 2015. This loss was due to the normal seasonal activity of the first quarter in which very little work is typically done, as well as the dry-docking of the TETRA Hedron. The dry-docking was concluded in April. Over the past month, we have seen our backlog increase significantly, and we expect this segment’s performance to improve during the second and third quarters.

Balance Sheet Actions

Given the challenging market environment, we are continuing to focus on free cash flow. Adjusted free cash flow of $18.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 was driven by the timing of project-related cash receipts, working capital efficiencies, and continued focus on cost reductions and minimized capital expenditures.

Special Charges and Maritech

During the first quarter of 2016, due to changes in the current market environment, the fair value of certain of our identified assets and goodwill has decreased. As a result, we recorded $116.9 million of impairments and other charges, primarily for our Compression and Production Testing Divisions. Additionally, we incurred $0.8 million of severance costs during the quarter.

Maritech reported a pre-tax loss of $(0.6) million in the first quarter of 2016.

Financial Guidance

Given the operating environment and expectations of a prolonged downturn, the management team remains keenly focused on adjusted free cash flow. The forecast for full year 2016 adjusted free cash flow is a range of $30 to $50 million.

TETRA is a geographically diversified oil and gas services company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, water management, frac flowback, production well testing, offshore rig cooling, compression services and equipment, and selected offshore services including well plugging and abandonment, decommissioning, and diving. TETRA owns an equity interest, including all of the general partner interest, in CSI Compressco LP (NADAQ:CCLP), a master limited partnership.

This press release includes certain statements that are deemed to be forward-looking statements. Generally, the use of words such as “may,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “assume,” “could,” “should,” “plans,” “targets” or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events, activities, expectations or outcomes identify forward-looking statements that the Company intends to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning expected results of operational business segments for 2016, anticipated benefits from CSI Compressco following the acquisition of CSI in 2014, including increases in cash distributions per unit, projections concerning the Company's business activities, financial guidance, estimated earnings, earnings per share, and statements regarding the Company's beliefs, expectations, plans, goals, future events and performance, and other statements that are not purely historical. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including the ability of CSI Compressco to successfully integrate the operations of CSI and recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performances or results and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could affect actual results are described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as well as other risks identified from time to time in its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures for the Company: net debt, adjusted consolidated and segment income (loss) before taxes, excluding the Maritech segment and special charges; Adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted free cash flow. The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show the Company’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.

Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is defined as the Company’s (or its Segments’) income (loss) before taxes excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is defined as the Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding certain special or other charges (or credits) and using a normalized effective income tax rate. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments and special charges, and equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Adjusted free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that the Company defines as cash from TETRA’s operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech AROs, less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds, and including cash distributions to TETRA from CSI Compressco LP. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to:
assess the Company’s ability to retire debt;
evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and
to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group of companies.

Adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted.

TETRA net debt is defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management views TETRA net debt as a measure of TETRA’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
