THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TETRA Technologies, Inc. ("TETRA" or the "Company") (NYSE:TTI) today announced second quarter 2024 financial results.

Brady Murphy, TETRA President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Despite overall lower US onshore completions activity in the second quarter, our results included sequential improvements in revenue of 14% and Adjusted EBITDA of 32% driven by strong performance from our Completion Fluids & Products Division. We achieved net cash provided by operating activities of $24.8 million, base business adjusted free cash flow((1)) of $19.2 million, a 560 basis points sequential improvement in Water & Flowback Services Adjusted EBITDA margins (to 15.2%), and the award of a three-well TETRA CS Neptune fluids deepwater Gulf of Mexico project that is expected to begin late in the fourth quarter. The second-quarter results were achieved despite $1.1 million of foreign exchange losses.

Second quarter 2024 revenue of $172 million decreased 2% from the second quarter of 2023 but increased 14% from the first quarter of 2024. Net income of $7.6 million, inclusive of $1.0 million of non-recurring charges, compares to net income of $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, inclusive of $0.9 million of non-recurring credits, and to net income of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, inclusive of $5.2 million of non-recurring charges.

"Second-quarter cash flow provided by operating activities was $24.8 million and compares to cash provided by operating activities of $28.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 and cash used in operating activities of $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Base business adjusted free cash flow was $19.2 million while investments in our Arkansas bromine and lithium projects were $9.8 million, resulting in total adjusted free cash flow of $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 and compares to total adjusted free cash flow of $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 and a $29.6 million use of cash in the first quarter of 2024. Working capital at the end of the second quarter was $127 million and represents a $7.2 million decrease from the prior quarter end. Working capital is defined as current assets, excluding cash and restricted cash, less current liabilities. Our investments in Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. ("Kodiak") and Standard Lithium Ltd. ("Standard Lithium") were $12.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively as of June 30, 2024.

"Completion Fluids & Products experienced a strong quarter with revenue of $100 million, a sequential improvement of 29% driven primarily by strong seasonal European industrial chemicals volumes, with 28.9% adjusted EBITDA margins. Offshore completion fluids international activity was stronger in the second quarter relative to the first quarter while the timing of deepwater projects resulted in sequentially lower volumes in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the Gulf of Mexico is one of our largest deepwater markets, it had an impact on overall segment activity. Net income before taxes for the quarter was $26.7 million (26.6% of revenue) and compares to $19.8 million (25.6% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $28.9 million and compares to $21.8 million (28.1% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2024.

"We are very pleased to have secured a three-well deepwater Gulf of Mexico TETRA CS Neptune fluids project for a super major oil and gas operator. This multi-well award is a great milestone for the Company as it represents the second super major deepwater operator in the Gulf of Mexico to utilize TETRA CS Neptune fluids for their completion program and is the first TETRA CS Neptune fluids job in the Gulf of Mexico since the fourth quarter of 2019. Since that time, we have been diligently working a potential pipeline of TETRA CS Neptune fluids opportunities with numerous deepwater operators and it is very gratifying to see the hard and innovative work of our team paying off. We expect the first well completion will start in the fourth quarter of this year and the remaining wells to carry over through the first half of 2025.

"Water & Flowback Services revenue of $72 million declined 2% from the first quarter. Despite the slight revenue decline, Adjusted EBITDA margins of 15.2% improved sequentially by 560 basis points consistent with our expectations as we continue to focus on deploying automated technologies across all phases of this segment, including TETRA BlueLinx Automated Control System, TETRA SandStorm Advanced Cyclone Technology, and TETRA Automated Drillout Systems. Water & Flowback Services net income before taxes for the quarter was $3.2 million and compares to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of $10.9 million increased $3.9 million sequentially."

Strategic Initiatives Update

Brady Murphy stated, "For our strategic initiatives, we invested $9.8 million, net of reimbursement from our partner, in Arkansas to advance engineering and reservoir studies and began laying the groundwork to put in place power infrastructure for our bromine project. This additional analysis and work has positioned us to publish a definitive feasibility study, that is in the final stages of review, for bromine from our Evergreen Brine Unit to meet the growing demands for oil and gas offshore completion fluids and the new market opportunity for our TETRA PureFlow+ electrolyte for the long duration energy storage market. The zinc bromide electrolyte demand is expected to grow materially beginning in 2025. Our produced water desalination for beneficial re-use continues to gain significant customer interest and despite some regulatory permitting delays on previously announced projects, we are seeing broader industry commitment to desalination solutions. We have expanded our confidential non-disclosure discussions for our proprietary solution with seven different operators across the Permian Basin, South Texas, Mid-Continent and Appalachia regions. We expect to have additional commercial pilot units in place in 2025 that over time are expected to convert into large scale production facilities."

Cash provided by operating activities was $24.8 million in the second quarter and base business adjusted free cash flow, which excludes investments in Arkansas, was $19.2 million.

Schedule D: Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release may include the following non-GAAP financial measures for the Company: adjusted net income per share, consolidated and segment Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue ("Adjusted EBITDA margin"), adjusted net income, total adjusted free cash flow, base business adjusted free cash flow, net debt, net leverage ratio, and return on net capital employed. The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company's financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that the exclusion of the special charges and credits 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 net income is defined as the Company's income (loss) before noncontrolling interests and discontinued operations, excluding certain special or other charges (or credits), and including noncontrolling interest attributable to continued operations. Adjusted net income 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 net income per share is defined as the Company's diluted net income per share attributable to TETRA stockholders excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted net income 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 net income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations, excluding impairments, exploration and pre-development costs, certain special, non-recurring or other charges (or credits), including loss on debt extinguishment, interest, depreciation and amortization, income from collaborative arrangement and certain non-cash items such as equity-based compensation expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations. Exploration and pre-development costs represent expenditures incurred to evaluate potential future development of TETRA's lithium and bromine properties in Arkansas. Such costs include exploratory drilling and associated engineering studies. Income from collaborative arrangement represents the portion of exploration and pre-development costs that are reimbursable by our strategic partner. We began capitalizing exploration and pre-development costs in January 2024 and therefore these costs are only excluded for periods prior to January 1, 2024. Exploration and pre-development costs and the associated income from collaborative arrangement were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods because they did not relate to the Company's current business operations. Adjustments to long-term incentives represent cumulative adjustments to valuation of long-term cash incentive compensation awards that are related to prior years. These costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they do not relate to the current year and are considered to be outside of normal operations. Long-term incentives are earned over a three-year period and the costs are recorded over the three-year period they are earned. The amounts accrued or incurred are based on a cumulative of the three-year period. Equity-based compensation expense represents compensation that has been or will be paid in equity and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is a non-cash item. Adjusted EBITDA 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 and 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.

Total adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds and cost of equipment sold, less payments on financing lease obligations and including cash distributions to TETRA from investments and cash from sales of investments. Base business adjusted free cash flow is defined as Total adjusted free cash flow excluding TETRA's investments in the Arkansas bromine and lithium projects. 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.

Total adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as they exclude cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted.

Net debt is defined as the sum of the carrying value of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the balance sheet. Management views 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.

Net leverage ratio is defined as debt excluding financing fees & discount on term loan and including letters of credit and guarantees, less cash divided by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA for credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA for credit facilities consists of adjusted EBITDA described above, less non-cash (gain) loss on sale of investments, (gain) loss on sales of assets and excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Management primarily uses this metric to assess TETRA's ability to borrow, reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay distributions, and fund investing and financing activities.

Return on net capital employed is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by average net capital employed. Adjusted EBIT is defined as net income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations, interest, and certain non-cash charges, and non-recurring adjustments. Net capital employed is defined as assets, excluding assets associated with discontinued operations, plus impaired assets, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and less current liabilities, excluding current liabilities associated with discontinued operations. Average net capital employed is calculated as the average of the beginning and ending net capital employed for the respective periods. Return on net capital employed is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company relative to assets, without regard to financing methods or capital structure.
