First Quarter Highlights include:
Civeo Corporation (NYSE:CVEO) today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
"Through continued safe and effective operations, our first quarter 2024 results were in line with expectations. The first quarter results were highlighted by the significant year-over-year improvement in our Australian segment with revenues up 19%, operating income up 22% and Adjusted EBITDA up 43% as a result of increased activity related to new contract awards as well as improved margins, up 360 basis points year-over-year. The year-over-year improvements in Australian results were largely offset by declines in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in Canada with the sale of McClelland Lake Lodge and reduced LNG-related mobile camp activity." said Bradley J. Dodson, Civeo's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Dodson concluded, "Our focus remains on enhancing our existing operations while we evaluate growth opportunities across our portfolio and return cash flow to shareholders through our quarterly dividend and opportunistic share repurchases."
First Quarter 2024 Results
In the first quarter of 2024, Civeo generated revenues of $166.1 million and reported a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. The loss results in part from $7.8 million in costs associated with impairments on assets in Australia and the U.S. During the first quarter of 2024, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $6.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $17.3 million and free cash flow of $7.2 million.
By comparison, in the first quarter of 2023, Civeo generated revenues of $167.6 million and reported a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. During the first quarter of 2023, Civeo produced operating cash flow of $0.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million and negative free cash flow of $2.1 million.
The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the expected wind-down of LNG-related Canadian mobile camp activity, including $1.8 million in mobile camp demobilization costs, partially offset by increased billed rooms at the Australian owned-villages and improved margins in both the owned-villages and the Australian integrated services business.
Business Segment Results
(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the first quarter of 2024 to the results for the first quarter of 2023.)
Canada
During the first quarter of 2024, the Canadian segment generated revenues of $67.2 million, operating income of $0.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million, compared to revenues of $89.5 million, operating loss of $4.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.
The Canadian segment experienced a 25% period-over-period decrease in revenues and a 54% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA driven by the wind-down of LNG-related mobile camp activity, including $1.8 million of mobile camp demobilization costs.
Australia
During the first quarter of 2024, the Australian segment generated revenues of $91.7 million, operating income of $6.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million, compared to revenues of $77.0 million, operating income of $4.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. Results for the first quarter of 2024 reflect the impact of a weakened Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which decreased revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by $3.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 includes asset impairment charges of $5.7 million.
Revenue from the Australian segment increased 19% period-over-period and Adjusted EBITDA was up 43% driven by a 17% year-over-year increase in billed rooms, increased integrated services activity and improved margins for both Civeo's owned-villages and its integrated services business.
Financial Condition and Capital Allocation
As of March 31, 2024, Civeo had total liquidity of approximately $136.9 million, consisting of $120.1 million available under its revolving credit facilities and $16.8 million of cash on hand.
Civeo’s total debt outstanding on March 31, 2024 was $78.6 million, a $13.0 million increase since December 31, 2023. Civeo's net debt on March 31, 2024 was $61.8 million, a $0.4 million decrease since December 31, 2023.
Civeo reported a net leverage ratio of 0.6x as of March 31, 2024, flat with the net leverage ratio at December 31, 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, Civeo invested $5.6 million in capital expenditures compared to $4.8 million invested during the first quarter of 2023. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily related to maintenance spending on the Company’s lodges and villages. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2024 also included $2.4 million related to customer-funded infrastructure upgrades at three Australian villages.
The Company announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on June 17, 2024 to shareholders of record as of close of business on May 27, 2024. For purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Company has designated this dividend to be an "eligible dividend".
In the first quarter of 2024, Civeo repurchased approximately 133,000 shares through its share repurchase program for approximately $3.2 million.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
For the full year of 2024, Civeo is maintaining its previously provided revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges of $625 million to $700 million and $80 million to $90 million, respectively. The Company is also maintaining its full year 2024 capital expenditure guidance of $30 million to $35 million.

The term EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain other unusual or non-operating items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provide investors a helpful measure for comparing Civeo's operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Civeo uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in thousands) (unaudited):

In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge of $6.1 million, which are included in Gain on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net on the unaudited statements of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge of $33.2 million, which are included in Gain on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net ($23.5 million) and Other income ($9.7 million) on the unaudited statements of operations. In the third quarter of 2023, we recorded expenses associated with the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge of $4.9 million, which are included in Gain on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, net on the unaudited statements of operations.

The term Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included Free Cash Flow as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the cash flow generating ability of its business relative to its capital expenditure and debt service obligations. Civeo uses Free Cash Flow to compare and to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate Civeo's business. It is also used as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.

The term net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net debt divided by bank-adjusted EBITDA. Net debt, bank-adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for total debt, net income (loss) or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, net debt, bank-adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included net debt, bank-adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that this data provides useful information regarding the level of the Company’s indebtedness and its ability to service debt. Additionally, per Civeo’s credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain a net leverage ratio below 3.0x every quarter to remain in compliance with the credit agreement.
