THE WOODLANDS, Texas,
Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Layne Christensen Company (NASDAQ: LAYN) ("Layne" or
the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for
the fiscal 2017 third quarter (Q3 FY 2017) ended October 31, 2016.
Q3 FY2017 Financial Highlights
- Reported net loss from continuing operations for Q3 FY 2017 was
($5.0) million, or ($0.26) per share, compared to ($9.0) million, or ($0.45) per share, for Q3 FY 2016. Included in Q3
FY17 results were $1.7 million in
restructuring costs, or $(0.09) per
share, primarily related to Water Resources. Q3 FY 2016 results
included $2.2 million in
restructuring costs, or $(0.11) per
share, primarily related to Mineral Services' exit from its
Africa business.
- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below)
increased to $6.8 million in Q3 FY
2017 compared to $6.7 million in Q3
FY 2016.
- Consolidated revenues declined 11% to $153.6 million in Q3 FY 2017 from $173.2 million in Q3 FY 2016, due to reduced
Water Resources' drilling activity in the western U.S., Heavy
Civil's continuing shift towards more selective opportunities and
lower Mineral Services' revenues reflecting the exit from
operations in Africa and
Australia.
- Unallocated corporate expenses reflected in Adjusted EBITDA
continued to decline, benefiting from Layne's overall cost
reduction efforts, and were $4.5
million in Q3 FY 2017 compared to $6.0 million in Q3 FY 2016.
- As of October 31, 2016, cash and
cash equivalents were $72.7 million,
and total debt was $161.5 million.
Total liquidity, which includes availability under Layne's credit
facility and total cash and cash equivalents, was $145.0 million at October
31, 2016, compared to $125.5
million at July 31, 2016.
- Total backlog was $244.1 million
at October 31, 2016 compared to
$286.6 million at July 31, 2016 and $386.4
million at October 31, 2015.
The decrease in backlog was largely related to a decline in Heavy
Civil as a result of the continuing strategic shift towards more
selective opportunities, as well as a decrease in Water Resources
due to reduced drilling activity in the western U.S.
CEO Commentary
Michael J. Caliel, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Layne, commented, "Our third quarter
results were similar to our fiscal second quarter, as they
reflected a number of positive accomplishments in three of our four
operating divisions, partially offset by anticipated headwinds in
our Water Resources division. Water Resources' margins were
again impacted by a combination of reduced activity in California, as well as execution and work site
condition issues on five large water drilling projects that each
produced losses during the quarter. Inliner delivered another
quarter of strong performance driven by record margins, as we
continue to benefit from additional crews and favorable product
mix. Heavy Civil continues to improve as the problem jobs
from a few years ago are all virtually complete and the division
produced year-over-year improved results, largely due to enhanced
risk project management processes and improved project execution.
Minerals Services delivered positive EBITDA and generated improved
results led by a pick-up in activity in Brazil, Mexico and the western U.S.
"We are clearly disappointed in the performance of our Water
Resources division and we expect it will take a few quarters to
complete our on-going business improvement efforts. To that end, we
are focused on improving profitability by strengthening our sales
force, reducing our cost structure and improving utilization and
job execution as we implement the business performance improvement
initiatives we launched earlier this year within Water
Resources. Our water-related business is an excellent
platform and while we are strategically on the right path, there is
clearly more work to be done. We believe we are taking the
right strategic and operational steps in order to deliver improved
consolidated financial performance and we remain committed to
returning Layne to profitability in fiscal year 2018."

Revenues for Water Resources decreased during the three months
ended October 31, 2016 primarily due
to reduced activity in agricultural drilling projects in the
western U.S.
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended
October 31, 2016 was primarily due to
lower drilling activity as well as execution and work site issues
associated with certain drilling projects. Five large
drilling projects, which are all currently complete or near
completion, contributed almost $5.0
million of job losses during the quarter.
Backlog was $59.9 million at
October 31, 2016 compared to
$72.6 million at July 31, 2016 and $113.4
million at October 31, 2015,
reflecting reduced drilling opportunities in the western U.S.

Revenues for Inliner decreased slightly during the three months
ended October 31, 2016, primarily due
to lower levels of subcontracted work as compared to the prior
year.
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA represents improved results
across most operating regions as compared to the same prior year
period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues was primarily attributable to a higher mix of
self-performed work in the current quarter as compared to the same
period in the prior year, and increased crew efficiency.
Backlog was $112.4 million at
October 31, 2016 compared to
$121.5 million at July 31, 2016 and $122.5
million at October 31,
2015.

Revenues for Heavy Civil decreased primarily as a result of the
reduced activity associated with our continuing strategic shift
towards more selective opportunities, including negotiated and
alternative delivery contracts, and less emphasis on traditional
fixed-price contracts.
Adjusted EBITDA improved as compared to the prior year primarily
due to improved project execution, the continued completion of
certain legacy troubled fixed-price contracts, as well as lower
selling, general and administrative expenses as Heavy Civil
continues to focus on effectively managing its cost structure.
Backlog was $71.8 million at
October 31, 2016 compared to
$92.5 million at July 31, 2016 and $150.5

Revenues for Mineral Services declined primarily due to our exit
from our operations in Africa and
Australia during FY2016, which
contributed to approximately $3.7
million in revenue decline for the three months ended
October 31, 2016, compared to the
prior year period. Offsetting these declines were increased
revenues in Mexico and
Brazil.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.0
million for the three months ended October 31, 2016 due primarily to increased
activity and margins in Mexico and
Brazil.
Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates improved during the
three months ended October 31, 2016,
due to improved profitability in our Latin American
affiliates.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses reflected in Adjusted EBITDA were
$4.5 million for the three months
ended October 31, 2016, compared to
$6.0 million for the same period last
year. The improvement was primarily due to reductions in
legal and professional fees, as well as reductions in compensation
expense.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess performance which is not
defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our
measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which may not be comparable to other
companies' measure of Adjusted EBITDA, represents income or loss
from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, equity in earnings
or losses from affiliates, certain non-recurring items such as
impairment charges, restructuring costs, gain on extinguishment of
debt, and certain other gains or losses, plus dividends received
from affiliates. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA included in this report helps us understand and evaluate our
operating performance and trends and provides useful information to
both management and investors. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA
as a factor in incentive compensation decisions and our credit
facility agreement uses measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to
measure compliance with certain covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should
be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with
GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, GAAP results.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss)
from continuing operations before income taxes, which we consider
to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to
Adjusted EBITDA.
