HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2024 / Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX) ("Innovex," "we" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2024.

Third Quarter Highlights

Closed transformative merger between Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc. and former Dril-Quip, Inc., positioning the combined business for long-term success
Revenue of $152 million, up 17% quarter over quarter
Net Income¹ of $83 million, up 766% quarter over quarter, and Net Income Margin of 54%
Diluted earnings per share of $1.99
Adjusted EBITDA² of $27 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin² of 18%
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $22 million
Free Cash Flow² of $20 million
Loss from Operations of $13 million
Return on Capital Employed² of 9%
Achieved 100% of the year one synergy target of $15 million annualized savings

Due to the equity value of legacy Dril-Quip on the closing date of the merger relative to the fair value of the assets, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of approximately $93 million during the third quarter of 2024. This drove the material variance in (Loss) Income from Operations and Net Income during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities and ROCE to income from operations, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are outlined in the reconciliation tables accompanying this release.

Adam Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am excited to introduce Innovex International to the public equity markets. Our vision is to create a unique energy industrial platform focused on driving exceptional value and service to our customers, and exceptional absolute returns for our shareholders. Since inception, legacy Innovex has done just that: delivering a revenue per share CAGR of 22% and a return on capital employed ("ROCE") of 17%. These results are well ahead of both our peers and the S&P 500, which is our ultimate benchmark. This outcome is the product of our vision and our culture. Our culture, which we call ‘No Barriers,' drives customer focus and relentless innovation while maintaining flexibility through a capital light business model. We believe the combination with Dril-Quip unlocks transformational opportunities to grow our market share, expand our margins, delight our customers, and deliver value to our shareholders.

We are thrilled to merge Dril-Quip's portfolio and capabilities into our existing platform of small-ticket, big-impact consumable products and technologies. The merger with Dril-Quip is our largest transaction to date, and the franchise is among the best in our portfolio. Since closing, I have spent a significant amount of time learning about our employees, technologies, customers and processes and couldn't be more pleased about the capability of our people and our technologies. Dril-Quip has a well-deserved reputation for delivering the most reliable and high-performance products in their space. That said, it is increasingly clear, in my opinion, that the legacy Dril-Quip operating model was not delivering exceptional service to our customers and could not generate high margins and free cash conversion. We are immediately making the changes necessary to address both. The foremost issue we will resolve is our on-time delivery of products. This has been an impediment to profitability and customer satisfaction. We will also work to leverage the depth of our combined distribution footprint; we have already seen early success cross-selling products in U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and U.S. Land. I am pleased to report that we are ahead of schedule on our stated goal of $30 million in cost synergies and have already realized 100% of our year-one synergy target of $15 million. Furthermore, we have increased conviction that there is significant potential above this figure, as well as an opportunity to grow the market share of the combined portfolios through improved delivery time, improved customer experience, and continued investment in innovation. While it is early days, and progress against this aspiration will take time, we are more confident than ever about the potential of the combined platform to generate margins and returns on par with our historic results."

Kendal Reed, Chief Financial Officer, remarked, "We are pleased with our consistent margin performance despite a weak operating environment. Our contra-cyclical cash flow profile provided strong free cash flow in the quarter, which helped us reduce our debt and maintain a strong balance sheet, providing optionality should we find investment opportunities that meet our stringent standards of consistent margins, customer driven innovation, and high returns on our invested capital."

Operational & Financial Results

Innovex's North America Onshore ("NAM") revenue increased 24% quarter over quarter while International & Offshore revenue grew 4% quarter over quarter, both primarily as a result of the Dril-Quip merger.

Kendal Reed, Chief Financial Officer, continued, "I was pleased with the resilience of our NAM revenue in spite of the ongoing pullback in US Land focused activity, and we are very excited about our opportunities in the International & Offshore space. The Dril-Quip merger enhances our growth opportunities in these markets, and, as Adam noted, we have already seen early successes.

Another bright spot in the third quarter was the strong free cash flow we generated despite significant acquisition costs. As a result of our capital light business model, we can convert a high proportion of our EBITDA to free cash flow. We are already deploying our plans to apply this business model to the legacy Dril-Quip businesses. Importantly, we can reinvest this free cash flow into both high-return organic and inorganic opportunities. In fact, we continue to monitor a robust pipeline of investment opportunities in businesses that fit within our existing portfolio and platform at a time when capital has largely fled the industry."

Adam Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, concluded. "Our business is built on the foundation of our ‘No Barriers' culture. We remove the barriers between ourselves and our customers that slow the pace of innovation. We empower our employees to be highly responsive to our customers' needs and we prioritize direct and transparent interaction between our employees and the end users of our products. As a result, we have a consistent track record of creating value for both our customers and our shareholders. The achievement of our year-one targeted synergies within just eight weeks is a testament to our focus on value creation for our stakeholders. We are pleased, but not satisfied, and will continue to look for ways to increase margins, market share, and customer satisfaction."

Balance Sheet, Debt, Cash Flow and Other

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22 million and capital expenditures were $2 million (approximately 1.1% of revenue) for the third quarter of 2024.

Innovex generated free cash flow of $20 million during the third quarter of 2024 and ended the quarter with $100 million of cash and cash equivalents and $23 million of total debt (net of financing fees). Innovex's total debt balance at the end of the quarter represented 0.2x trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, with $91 million of availability on its revolving credit facility.

Innovex believes in maintaining conservative levels of leverage and ample liquidity to maximize strategic flexibility and allow the Company to capitalize on acquisition opportunities with strong quantitative and qualitative characteristics.

Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE")

Innovex's dedication to efficient capital allocation and prudent investment, combined with its capital light business model, enables the Company to generate strong returns on its invested capital. Loss from operations during the third quarter was $13 million. Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") during the third quarter of 2024 was 9% due to the increase in capital employed related to the Dril-Quip merger. We are focused on optimizing the post-merger business and balance sheet to enable us to meet our long-term returns targets.

Q4 2024 Guidance

Looking to the fourth quarter of 2024, Innovex expects to generate approximately $220 - $230 million in total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $35 - 40 million, assuming a flat rig count environment.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, (gain)/loss on sale of assets and other expense, net, further adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of our ongoing performance or which are non-cash in nature. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the profitability of our business operations and to compare our operating performance to our competitors without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure and excluding costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. We track Adjusted EBITDA on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Free Cash Flow

We also utilize Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure) to evaluate the cash generated by our operations and results of operations. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful because it demonstrates the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures. We track Free Cash Flow both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue. Free Cash Flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as we have non-discretionary expenditures, including, but not limited to, principal payments required under the terms of our Credit Facility, which are not deducted in calculating Free Cash Flow.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)

We utilize Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") (a non-GAAP measure) to assess the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time and to compare our capital efficiency to our competitors. We define ROCE as Income from Operations, before acquisition costs and after tax (resulting in Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax) divided by average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as the combined values of debt and stockholders' equity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and ROCE do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income and net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and ROCE may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see tables below.

Management has provided outlook regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes certain charges. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure has not been provided because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the Company's control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
