QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
Revenue of $383 million, down 6% sequentially
and up 13% year-over-year.
Net loss of $3 million, as compared to net loss
of $12 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and a net loss of $6
million for the first quarter of 2023. Net loss margin was (1)% for
the first quarter of 2024, compared to (3)% for the fourth quarter

Adjusted EBITDA1 of $67 million, down 20%
sequentially and up 61% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 of
18%, compared to 21% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Reaffirming full-year 2024 guidance of $1.6 to
$1.7 billion of revenue and $325 to $375 million of Adjusted
EBITDA, supported by the strong first quarter performance, contract
awards, the recently completed PRT Offshore acquisition, and the
pending Coretrax acquisition.
Expro Group Holdings N.V. (NYSE: XPRO) (the “Company” or
“Expro”) today reported financial and operational results for the
three months ended March 31, 2024.
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Revenue was $383 million compared to revenue of $407 million in
the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $24 million, or 6%,
driven by lower activity primarily in the North and Latin America
(“NLA”) and Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (“ESSA”) segments,
partially offset by higher revenue in the Middle East and North
Africa (“MENA”). Consistent with historical patterns, revenue and
profitability for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was
negatively impacted by the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere
and the budget cycles of our national oil company customers.
- Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $3 million, or $0.02
per diluted share, compared to net loss of $12 million, or $0.11
per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net loss margin
(defined as Net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue) was (1)%
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to (3)% for the
three months ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted net income1 for the
first quarter of 2024 was $10 million, or $0.09 per diluted share,
compared to adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 of
$7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $67 million, a sequential decrease of $18
million, or 20%, primarily attributable to lower revenue and a less
favorable activity mix, primarily in NLA and ESSA segments,
partially offset by increased activity on higher-margin projects in
MENA. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter of 2024 and the
fourth quarter of 2023 was 18% and 21%, respectively.
- Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter
of 2024 was $30 million compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $33 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily
driven by a sequential decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $18 million
and non-repeat of dividends received from joint ventures in the
fourth quarter of 2023 of $6 million, partially offset by a
favorable movement in working capital of $21 million compared to
the prior quarter.
Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, noted “Expro has
started 2024 in a strong position delivering solid financial
results for the first quarter, with revenue surpassing expectations
and Adjusted EBITDA consistent with the midpoint of guidance
provided on our fourth quarter of 2023 earnings conference call.
These results are encouraging for the full year 2024 outlook and a
testament to our commitment to deliver excellence and innovation
across all areas of operation.
“Our positive outlook is based on a constructive fundamental
backdrop and increasing global demand for cost effective
technology-enabled services and solutions. While we expect reduced
activity in the US land market for the next several quarters, we
believe international and offshore markets are in the early stages
of a multi-year growth phase and that strong business momentum will
be sustained across Expro’s geo-markets and product lines for at
least the next several years. In the first quarter we captured more
than $230 million of work globally and our backlog remained stable
quarter-over -quarter at approximately $2 billion.
1
A non-GAAP measure.
“In the first quarter, we announced that Expro entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire Coretrax, a technology leader in
performance drilling tools and wellbore cleanup, well integrity and
production optimization solutions. Coretrax has a complementary
offering to Expro with little overlap and will broaden our services
and solutions offered through our Well Construction and Well
Intervention & Integrity product lines, adding significant
value to our clients from innovative technologies that reduce risk
and cost, improve drilling efficiency, extend the life of existing
well stock, and optimize production. As we near completion of the
acquisition of Coretrax, integration planning is underway, and we
look forward to John Fraser and team joining the Expro family.
“We continue to gain momentum across carbon capture, utilization
and storage (CCUS) with Expro participating in Japan’s first clean
hydrogen production demonstration project. Expro's comprehensive
scope of services will support the project's goal of reducing
carbon emissions while advancing clean energy solutions as we play
our part as a citizen of the world.
“As we look ahead, Expro is well positioned for additional
margin expansions in our drilling and completions levered
businesses, which will drive improved group profitability and
shareholder returns. Based on recent performance, good dialog with
customers and a positive market outlook, we are comfortable
reiterating 2024 guidance for revenues of between $1,600 million
and $1,700 million. Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 is expected to be
between $325 million and $375 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin
is expected to be between 20% and 22%. Full-year guidance assumes
our proposed acquisition of Coretrax will be completed at the
beginning of the third quarter, with some upside tied to a possible
closing of the transaction a month or two earlier than this
assumption. Second quarter revenue is expected to reflect
approximately 3% year-on-year growth and sequential growth of 7%,
with Adjusted EBITDA Margin in an expected range of 20% to 21%, or
up 200 to 300 basis points year-on-year and sequentially in both
cases based on the mid-point of second quarter guidance.
Notable Awards and
Achievements
In the NLA region, we worked with a major operator to help
optimize critical cementing operations, implementing our Rotating
Plug Launcher to facilitate rotation during cementing and provide
necessary cement competency and zonal isolation. This innovative
solution not only enhanced safety but also standardized operations
across a fleet of active drilling rigs, showcasing our ability to
provide efficient and reliable services.
Expanding our presence in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea, the
ESSA region secured three deepwater contracts in Romania, totaling
more than $10 million. These contracts underscore our technical
expertise and the trust clients place in our capabilities to
deliver advanced technology solutions for their projects.
In the MENA region, Expro secured a significant contract for
cementing accessories in Egypt’s deepwater market, featuring our
wireless cement heads. This contract marks a pivotal step in
promoting hands-free cementing operations globally, enhancing
safety, efficiency, and operational speed.
Furthermore, Eni S.p.A.’s project to develop an onshore
liquefied natural gas pre-treatment facility in Congo is
progressing well, with the team achieving over one million manhours
lost time injury free. This project exemplifies our commitment to
safety and sustainable operations while contributing to the global
energy transition.
Segment Results
Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the
quarterly results for the first quarter of 2024 to the results for
the fourth quarter of 2023.
North and Latin America (NLA)
Revenue for the NLA segment was $130 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $15 million, or 10%,
compared to $145 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower Well Construction
revenue in the United States, Guyana and Mexico, partially offset
by increased Well Intervention & Integrity revenue in the
United States and Brazil and higher Well Flow Management revenue in
Colombia.
Segment EBITDA for the NLA segment was $34 million, or 26% of
revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease
of $10 million, or 22%, compared to $44 million or 30% of revenues
during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in
Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was attributable to lower
activity and activity mix during the three months ended March 31,
2024.
Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)
Revenue for the ESSA segment was $122 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $12 million, or 9%,
compared to $134 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by lower Well
Flow Management revenue in Congo, lower Subsea Well Access revenue
in the Western and Central Africa, and lower Well Construction
revenue in the UK and Angola, partially offset by higher Well
Intervention & Integrity revenue in the UK and higher Well Flow
Management revenue in Norway and Denmark.
Segment EBITDA for the ESSA segment was $25 million, or 21% of
revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of
$16 million, or 39%, compared to $41 million, or 31% of revenues,
for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in
Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was attributable to a
combination of lower activity, activity mix and reduced margin
recognized on our pre-treatment facility project in Congo during
the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
Revenue for the MENA segment was $71 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6 million, or 9%,
compared to $65 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023. The increase in revenue was driven higher Well Flow
Management revenue in Algeria and Saudi Arabia, partially offset by
lower Well Construction revenue in Morocco.
Segment EBITDA for the MENA segment was $25 million, or 34% of
revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of
$3 million, or 15%, compared to $21 million, or 32% of revenues,
for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in
Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was primarily due to
increased activity on higher-margin projects and a more favorable
activity mix during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Revenue for the APAC segment was $60 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2 million, or 4%,
compared to $62 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower Well Flow
Management, Well Intervention & Integrity and Subsea Well
Access revenue in Malaysia, offset by higher Subsea Well Access
revenue in China and Australia, and higher Well Flow Management
revenue in Australia and Thailand.
Segment EBITDA for the APAC segment was $11 million, or 18% of
revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of
$6 million, compared to $5 million, or 9% of revenues, for the
three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in Segment
EBITDA is attributable primarily to higher activity.
Other Financial
Information
The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $31 million in the
first quarter of 2024, of which approximately 90% were used for the
purchase and manufacture of equipment to directly support
customer-related activities and approximately 10% for other
property, plant and equipment, inclusive of software costs. Expro
plans for capital expenditures in the range of approximately $100
million to $110 million for the remainder of 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, Expro’s consolidated cash and cash
equivalents, including restricted cash, totaled $165 million. The
Company had outstanding long-term borrowings of $40 million as of
March 31, 2024. The Company’s total liquidity as of March 31, 2024
was $291 million. Total liquidity includes $127 million available
for drawdowns as loans under the Company’s revolving credit
facility.
Expro’s provision for income taxes for both the first quarter of
2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 was approximately $12 million
and $13 million. The Company’s effective tax rate on a U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis for the
three months ended March 31, 2024, also reflects liability for
taxes in certain jurisdictions that tax on an other than pre-tax
profits basis, including so-called “deemed profits” regimes.
On October 6, 2023, the Company amended and restated its
revolving credit facility pursuant to an amendment and restatement
agreement with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch, as agent, in order to
extend the maturity of the facility for a further 36 months and
increase the total commitments to $250 million, of which $167
million is available for drawdowns as loans and $83 million is
available for letters of credit. The Company has the ability to
increase the commitments to $350 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
This press release and the accompanying schedules include the
non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted
net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted
share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing
financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying
schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management
believes these metrics provide additional information relative to
the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly
employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the
operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period
and to compare such performance with the performance of other
publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not
consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution,
contribution margin, support costs, adjusted net income (loss) and
adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP.
Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution,
contribution margin, support costs, adjusted net income (loss) and
adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined
differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of
these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing
their utility.
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for
(a) income tax expense, (b) depreciation and amortization expense,
(c) severance and other expense, (d) merger and integration
expense, (e) gain on disposal of assets, (f) other (income)
expense, net, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) foreign
exchange (gains) losses and (i) interest and finance (income)
expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA
expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
Contribution is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue
excluding depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted for
indirect support costs and stock-based compensation expense
included in cost of revenue. Contribution margin is defined as
contribution divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage.
Support costs is defined as indirect costs attributable to
supporting the activities of the operating segments, research and
engineering expenses and product line management costs included in
cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization expense,
and general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and
amortization expense, which represent costs of running the
corporate head office and other central functions, including
logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety, and does not
include foreign exchange gains or losses and other non-routine
expenses.
The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income
(loss) before merger and integration expense, severance and other
expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on disposal of
assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items. The
Company defines adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share as net
income (loss) per diluted share before merger and integration
expense, severance and other expense, stock-based compensation
expense, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding
tax benefits of these items, divided by diluted weighted average
common shares.
Please see the accompanying financial tables for a
reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP measures.

Expro evaluates its business segment
operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and
Segment EBITDA margin. Expro’s management believes Segment EBITDA
and Segment EBITDA margin are useful operating performance measures
as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating
activities, corporate costs and certain non-cash items and allows
Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its
core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding
the allocation of resources to segments.
(2)
Expro defines Segment EBITDA margin as
Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a
percentage.
(3)
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as
Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a
percentage.
(4)
Corporate costs include the costs of
running our corporate head office and other central functions that
support the operating segments, including research, engineering and
development, logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety
and are not attributable to a particular operating segment.
