Financial Review
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total revenues were $40.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, which was an increase of 11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase reflected higher product sales and services volumes in Canada and the United States, partially offset by lower international product sales and services volumes, for which individual orders can be larger and less frequent. We believe the overall increase in revenues largely resulted from higher drilling and completion activity in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, particularly in North America, attributable to higher demand for oil and natural gas and more favorable commodity prices. Total revenues decreased by 18% compared to the third quarter of 2022, with a decrease in revenue in Canada of 29%, reflecting both strong customer activity during the third quarter and the expected decline in the fourth quarter as customers reduced activity for the winter holidays, as well as a decrease of 26% in international markets, partially offset by an increase of 17% in the United States, supported by increased fracturing systems revenue.
Gross profit, which we define as total revenues less total cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $16.1 million, or 40% of total revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $15.9 million, or 44% of total revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues was higher due to increased costs impacted by our supply chain, including raw materials, purchased materials, labor costs and outsourced service activity, as well as a decrease in international revenue as a percentage of total revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $13.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2021. This favorable decrease in expense reflects lower professional fees, primarily related to litigation matters, which was partially offset by higher payroll expenses associated with salary increases from earlier in 2022 as well as increased insurance costs and stock-based compensation expense.
Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted net income was $1.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, which excludes the benefit associated with net foreign currency exchange gains as well as a benefit for tax effects primarily associated with certain stock options expiring unexercised and with changes in valuation allowances. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, net income was $1.7 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for this period was $1.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, which excludes the benefit associated with net foreign currency exchange gains and the related tax effects including changes in valuation allowances.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, a slight reduction of $0.1 million compared to the same period one year ago and a decline of $2.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2022. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, the positive impact of our revenue increase was offset primarily by increases in our cost of sales related to the current inflationary environment.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2022, NCS reported revenues of $155.6 million, an increase of $37.1 million, or 31% compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in revenues was driven by significant increases in products and service revenues in both the United States and Canada, partially offset by a decline in foreign product sales. Net loss was $(1.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $(4.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted net loss was $(0.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to adjusted net loss of $(7.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $6.0 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a use of $(1.4) million, $13.0 million lower than cash provided for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cash flows used by investing activities of $0.7 million for 2022 compares to $0.4 million for 2021. For the full year 2022, free cash flow after distributions to non-controlling interest was a use of cash of $(2.1) million compared to $8.4 million generated in 2021. The overall decrease in net cash flows was primarily attributed to increases in net working capital that were driven by the 31% increase in revenue for the year.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2022, NCS had $16.2 million in cash and $7.9 million in total debt, and the borrowing base under our undrawn asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) totaled $18.6 million. Our net working capital, which we define as current assets excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt, was $55.2 million and $48.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NCS incurred capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Review and Outlook
NCS’s Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Hummer commented, “Our performance in the fourth quarter, while declining sequentially from our strong third quarter due in part to seasonality and customer budget exhaustion, capped a strong year for NCS in 2022, as we continue to capitalize on what we believe will be a multi-year growth cycle for our industry.
Our full year 2022 revenue of $155.6 million increased by $37.1 million, or 31%, compared to 2021, led by revenue increases of 38% and 32% in Canada and the United States, respectively.
This revenue growth was supported by specific sales initiatives and the continued commercialization of new products which expand the addressable market that we participate in. In Canada, our focus on growing customer adoption of our Well Construction products, leveraging the strong relationships and market share we have in Fracturing Systems, has resulted in significant growth in that product line. During 2022, we made our first sale to a new customer in the North Sea for Fracturing Systems products and services. In addition, Repeat Precision commercialized the PurpleFire perforating gun system, which was undergoing field trials at this time last year.
We faced increased supply chain costs during the year which were only partially offset by pricing increases achieved with our customers, which led to a reduction in our gross margin percentage from 41% in 2021 to 39% in 2022. This reduction in gross margin percentage was more than offset by our ability to manage our SG&A expense, which fell from 41% of revenue in 2021 to 37% of revenue in 2022.
As a result, we were able to grow Adjusted EBITDA by over $6.0 million, or 66% from $9.1 million in 2021 to $15.1 million in 2022, improving our Adjusted EBITDA margin from 8% in 2021 to 10% in 2022.
We maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position. During 2022, we upsized and extended our ABL facility to reflect the growth in our business. We ended 2022 with over $16 million in cash, and an undrawn ABL facility with a borrowing base of nearly $19 million.
Our free cash flow for the year of $(2.1) million largely reflected investments in working capital to support the growth of our business. While net working capital increased by $7.2 million during 2022, we were able to reduce end of year net working capital as a percentage of trailing twelve months revenue from 40% to 35%, reflecting our focus on improving efficiency as we grow.
Based on E&P company announced capital budgets for 2023, we believe that annual average industry drilling and completion activity in the United States and Canada in 2023 will be equal to 2022 levels or higher by up to 10%, however, activity in the United States in 2023 may decline from levels reached in the fourth quarter of 2022 reflecting reductions in natural gas pricing beginning in late 2022 and continuing into 2023. We currently expect international industry activity to improve by over 10% in 2023 as compared to 2022.
We believe the value that we bring to our customers across our product and service portfolio, together with continued product and service innovation, positions us to outperform the underlying market activity growth that we expect in the United States, Canada and internationally, as we grow our market share and access new markets. In support of this anticipated growth, we expect to increase our capital spending to within a range of $4 million to $5 million in 2023.
As we look to 2023, we will be focused on maximizing our near-term opportunities and taking action to ensure long-term success in alignment with our core strategies of: i) building upon our leading market positions; ii) capitalizing on international and offshore opportunities; and iii) commercializing innovative solutions to complex customer challenges.
I am excited for 2023 and want to express my thanks to the team at NCS and at Repeat Precision. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication of our outstanding people. We have the right team, the right technology, and the right strategies in place to deliver extraordinary outcomes to our customers, drive innovation in the industry and to create value for our shareholders.”

NCS MULTISTAGE HOLDINGS, INC.RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION(In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing operating performance or which, in the case of share-based compensation, is non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of the purchase and development of software and technology) plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment, as presented in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We define free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest as free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest, as presented in the net cash used in financing activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows. Net working capital is defined as total current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, minus total current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt. Net working capital excludes cash and cash equivalents and current maturities of long-term debt in order to evaluate the investment in working capital required to support our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share are important measures that exclude costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, certain costs associated with our capital structure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation presents our financial performance in a manner that is comparable to the presentation provided by many of our peers. We believe free cash flow is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and other investment needs. We believe that free cash flow less distributions to non-controlling interest is useful because it provides information to investors regarding the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures, other investment needs, and cash distributions to our joint venture partner. We believe that net working capital is useful in analyzing the cash flow and working capital needs of the Company, including determining the efficiencies of our operations and our ability to readily convert assets into cash. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital are key metrics that management uses to assess the period-to-period performance of our core business operations. We believe that presenting these metrics enables investors to assess our performance from period to period using the same metrics utilized by management and to evaluate our performance relative to other companies that are not subject to such factors.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA Less Share-Based Compensation, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Less Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest and net working capital (our “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), are not measures of net income (loss), income from operations, cash (used in) provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial performance as reported under GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), income from operations, cash (used in) provided by operating activities, working capital or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.
The tables below set forth reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures of financial performance calculated under GAAP:
