Withdraws 2020 Guidance; Announces Cost Cutting
Measures
Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today announced that, due to
uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent
decline in oil prices, the Company is withdrawing its previously
announced 2020 guidance.
“We are dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of our
employees and guests, as well as managing our business through what
continues to be a rapidly evolving market environment. We are
concentrating on the factors within our control as we navigate the
challenges ahead, including implementing cost containment
initiatives. We will share a more comprehensive update on the
business as part of our first quarter earnings release,” said
Bradley J. Dodson, Civeo's President and Chief Executive
Officer.
Due to lower oil prices and the economic disruption caused by
COVID-19, Civeo expects its profitability in 2020 to be negatively
impacted and has implemented initial cost containment initiatives
including (1) salary and total compensation reductions of between
10% to 20% for the Board, executive leadership team and other
senior management, (2) headcount reduction in North America of 25%
in the last month, and (3) cutting expected 2020 capital spending
by approximately 25%.
Civeo is focused on maintaining its balance sheet and liquidity
position despite the challenging market environment. As of March
31, 2020, the Company had total debt outstanding of approximately
$315 million, down from $359 million at year end, and liquidity of
over $125 million under its credit facility.
Civeo continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation and is
following safety protocols to ensure the health and well-being of
its employees, guests and contractors. These measures include
stringent screening for all individuals that enter its facilities,
strict social distancing practices, enhanced cleaning and deep
sanitization, the suspension of all nonessential employee travel,
and work-from-home policies, where applicable.
