    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 13 2 2023 16:15:24   America/New_York

    HOUSTON, Feb. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRC Global Inc. (NYSE: MRC), the leading global distributor of pipe, valves and fittings (PVF) and other infrastructure products and services to diversified gas utility, energy and industrial end-markets, today reported full year and fourth quarter 2022 results.

    Net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $15 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of ($10) million, or ($0.12) per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to common stockholders for 2022 was $51 million, or $0.60 per diluted share as compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of ($38) million, or ($0.46) per diluted share in 2021. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $27 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared to an adjusted net income of $14 million, or $0.18 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for 2022 was $101 million, or $1.19 per diluted share as compared to $22 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in 2021.

    MRC Global’s fourth quarter 2022 gross profit was $158 million, or 18.2% of sales, as compared to gross profit of $107 million, or 15.6% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 each reflect expense of $16 million and $30 million, respectively, in cost of sales relating to the use of the last-in, first out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting. Adjusted Gross Profit, which excludes these items, as well as others, was 21.2% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 21.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021. 

    Results for the full year and fourth quarter 2022 demonstrate strong growth over the prior year:

    Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights:

    • Sales of $3,363 million, an increase of 26% compared to 2021
    • Revenue for each end-market sector increased by double-digits over 2021 
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $261 million, 7.8% of sales, a 230-basis point improvement over the prior year
    • Adjusted Gross Profit, as a percentage of sales, of 21.3%, an MRC Global record for the full year
    • Leverage ratio of 1.2x, the lowest leverage in MRC Global history

    • Sales of $869 million, an increase of 27% compared to the same quarter of 2021
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $66 million, 7.6% of sales, a 70-basis point improvement over the prior year

    • Cash flow provided by operations of $10 million during the fourth quarter, for a total of $43 million in the second half of 2022

    Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a strong finish to 2022, with fourth quarter revenue consistent with our previous guidance and ahead of the normal seasonal decline. Our full year 2022 performance was exceptional and benefitted greatly from our growth and diversification strategy that emphasized our upstream, chemicals and energy transition end-markets, all of which outperformed our expectations. Two of our business sectors, Gas Utilities and DIET, exceeded $1 billion in sales, and we increased our company adjusted EBITDA margins to multi-year highs through improved commercial focus and cost discipline. I am proud of the entire MRC Global team for achieving these outstanding results. 

    "We maintain our positive outlook for 2023 with solid fundamentals anticipated for each of our business sectors and geographic segments. We reaffirm our previous 2023 guidance targeting double-digit revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins to exceed 8%. We are increasing our guidance for expected cash flow from operations in 2023 to now exceed $120 million, up from $100 million previously. We are excited about the bright future of MRC Global and the continued growth of our business,” Mr. Saltiel added.

    Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Net Debt and Leverage Ratio are all non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of each of these measures to the nearest GAAP measure in this release. 

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $123 million, or 14.2% of sales, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $106 million, or 15.5% of sales, for the same period of 2021. Adjusted SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 was $122 million, or 14.0% of sales and $105 million, or 15.3% of sales, respectively. Both periods exclude $1 million of pre-tax severance and restructuring costs.  

    For the three months ended December 31, 2022, income tax expense was $12 million with an effective rate of 36%. Our rates generally differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state income taxes, non-deductible expenses and differing foreign income tax rates. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, income tax expense was $1 million on a ($3) million pre-tax loss due primarily to tax expense in a foreign jurisdiction related to a provision for a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. 

    Adjusted EBITDA was $66 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $47 million for the same period in 2021. Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures (adjusted EBITDA) to GAAP measures (net income) in this release.

    Sales

    The company’s sales were $869 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a 4% seasonal decline from the third quarter of 2022 and 27% higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. Sequential sales were in-line with expectations and improved over historical seasonal trends. This improvement was driven by strong activity levels in the Upstream Production and Midstream Pipeline sectors. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, double-digit sales increases across all sectors and all segments drove the growth.

    Sales by Segment

    U.S. sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $720 million, a $154 million, or 27%, increase from the same quarter in 2021. Gas Utilities sector sales were up $63 million, or 25%, as a result of safety related modernization and emission reduction programs in conjunction with continued infrastructure improvement projects. Downstream, Industrial and Energy Transition (DIET) sector sales improved by $39 million, or 27%, due to an increase in LNG and biofuels projects and turnaround and maintenance activity for mining and refining customers. Upstream Production sector sales increased $32 million, or 36%, due to increased well completion activity by our major customers and new customer market share gains. Midstream Pipeline sector sales increased $20 million, or 24%, due to an increased demand for line pipe and valves for projects.

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, U.S. sales decreased $48 million, or 6%. The Gas Utilities sector experienced a $42 million, or 12%, decline from a seasonal reduction in customer spending, and the DIET sector declined $27 million, or 13%, due to the conclusion of various Energy Transition projects and turnarounds. This was partially offset by a sales increase in our Midstream Pipeline sector of $17 million, or 20%, due to line pipe and valve sales for various customers. Sales to upstream customers also increased $4 million, or 3%, due primarily to increased activity levels in the Permian Basin.

    Canada sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $46 million, up $6 million, or 15%, from the same quarter in 2021 driven by the Upstream Production sector from improved customer activity levels and line pipe sales.

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, Canada sales increased $9 million, or 24%, also due primarily to increased upstream customer activity levels and line pipe sales.

    International sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $103 million, up $23 million, or 29%, from the same period in 2021 driven primarily by the Upstream Production sector for increased activity in the North Sea and the DIET sector for energy transition projects, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of weaker foreign currencies of $12 million. 

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, International sales increased $4 million, or 4%, driven primarily by the Upstream Production sector. The impact of foreign currencies was immaterial. 

    Sales by Sector

    Gas Utilities sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $319 million, or 37% of total sales, up $61 million, or 24%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 driven by the U.S. segment. 

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, Gas Utilities sales declined $40 million, or 11%, driven by the U.S. segment.

    DIET sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $248 million, or 29% of total sales, up $47 million, or 23%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 driven by the U.S. segment.

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, DIET sales decreased $28 million, or 10%, driven by the U.S. segment.

    Upstream Production sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $195 million, or 22% of total sales, up $55 million, or 39%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Upstream Production sales were higher as a result of double-digit growth in each segment driven by increased customer activity levels.

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, Upstream Production sales increased $19 million, or 11%, driven by the Canada, International and U.S. segments, respectively.

    Midstream Pipeline sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $107 million, or 12% of total sales, up $20 million, or 23%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 driven by the U.S. segment.

    Sequentially, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, Midstream Pipeline sales increased $14 million, or 15%, driven by the U.S. segment. 

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

    As of December 31, 2022, the cash balance was $32 million, long-term debt (including current portion) was $340 million and net debt was $308 million. Cash provided by operations was $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulting in ($20) million of cash used by operations for the full year 2022. Availability under the company’s asset-based lending facility was $606 million and liquidity was $638 million as of December 31, 2022. Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP (net debt) to GAAP measures (long-term debt, net) in this release.

    The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, plus inventory-related charges and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

    The company defines adjusted selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as SG&A, less severance and restructuring expenses, facility closures plus the recovery of supplier bad debt. The company presents adjusted SG&A because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, adjusted SG&A measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. The company uses adjusted SG&A as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that SG&A is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that is most directly comparable to adjusted SG&A.

    (2)Employee severance and restructuring charges (pre-tax), primarily in the U.S.
    (3)Charges (pre-tax) recorded in SG&A. $2 million relates to employee separation, of which, $1 million is recorded in equity-based compensation expense.

    The company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and asset impairments, including inventory) and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because the company believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, adjusted EBITDA measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA does not account for certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company’s operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the company does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income and sales, to measure operating performance. See the company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more thorough discussion of the use of adjusted EBITDA. Reconciling the company's adjusted EBITDA 2023 target is not reasonably possible as the impact from inflation or deflation on indices used to calculate LIFO is not possible to reasonably predict.

    (1)In the fourth quarter of 2021, charges (after-tax) of $1 million associated with the exit of the Kazakhstan business were recorded in the International segment. In 2021, charges (after-tax) of $1 million associated with the exit of the Korea and Kazakhstan businesses partially offset by a gain on the sale of a facility all recorded in the International segment.
    (2)Employee severance and restructuring charges (after-tax), primarily in the U.S.

    The company defines adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as net income attributable to common stockholders less after-tax goodwill and intangible impairment, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring, plus or minus the after-tax impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. After-tax impacts were determined using the company's U.S. blended statutory rate. The company presents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and related per share amounts because the company believes it provides useful comparisons of the company’s operating results to other companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry, without regard to the irregular variations from certain restructuring events not indicative of the on-going business. Those items include goodwill and intangible asset impairments, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring as well as the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company believes that net income attributable to common stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that is most directly compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders.

    Notes to above:

    Net Debt and related leverage metrics may be considered non-GAAP measures. The company defines Net Debt as total long-term debt, including current portion, minus cash. The company defines leverage ratio as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. The company believes Net Debt is an indicator of the extent to which the company’s outstanding debt obligations could be satisfied by cash on hand and a useful metric for investors to evaluate the company’s leverage position. The company believes the leverage ratio is a commonly used metric that management and investors use to assess the borrowing capacity of the company. The company believes total long-term debt (including the current portion) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that is most directly comparable to Net Debt.
