Aegion Reports 2015 First Quarter Financial Results

Aegion Corporation (Nasdaq Global Select Market: AEGN) today reported GAAP earnings from continuing operations of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $4.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related expenses, were $4.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Charles R. Gordon, Aegion’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Aegion delivered solid first quarter results as strong demand in a number of markets offset the adverse impacts of depressed oil prices on a portion of our upstream business, the strengthening of the United States dollar against certain foreign currencies and late winter weather in the United States. The favorable quarterly performance was the result of strong performance in our Infrastructure Solutions platform, Energy Services’ downstream refining segment and record performance associated with the Canadian pipeline construction season. Contract backlog at March 31, 2015 in these segments support our expectations for solid performance in the second quarter. However, we anticipate continuing depressed oil prices will result in reduced capital spending in the upstream market, which may adversely affect a portion of our Energy Services’ business, the pipe lining business and the Canadian pipe coating operations within Corrosion Protection.

“We are continuing to assess the impact of the current oil prices on our upstream and Canadian oil and gas operations for the second half of 2015, and we expect to gain more clarity over the next few months. Infrastructure Solutions is well positioned to achieve record operating performance in 2015. We expect the earnings contribution from this platform, including savings from our October 2014 restructuring, will largely offset the continuing weakness from our upstream energy service operations. We are very pleased with the progress of our 2014 restructuring as it continues to proceed ahead of schedule with pre-tax savings of $2.5 million recognized in the first quarter. We now anticipate the annual pre-tax savings in 2015 will be at the high end of the $8 million to $11 million range as we previously reported.”

2015 Outlook

Infrastructure Solutions

Supporting the favorable outlook for Infrastructure Solutions is backlog of $354.2 million at March 31, 2015, a 6.7 percent increase over March 31, 2014. Excluding the restructured cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) contracting markets in Europe and Asia, backlog increased by $33.1 million to $346.3 million at March 31, 2015, a 10.6 percent increase from March 31, 2014. Contract backlog in North America was a record for backlog in the first quarter and provides the foundation for strong performance in the second quarter and the second half of 2015. The Fyfe/Fibrwrap business grew backlog 25.5 percent year-over- year to $58.2 million led by a large industrial pipeline rehabilitation project set to begin in the second quarter. Fyfe/Fibrwrap is also benefiting from the combination with Insituform through its adoption of best practices in project management and leveraging back-office services. Investments made in 2014 to create a robust North America sales organization continue to improve market visibility and support the objectives for the global Fyfe/Fibrwrap business to grow revenues and profits this year.

Corrosion Protection

Corrosion Protection anticipates a continuation of pipeline infrastructure investment in 2015 within the North America midstream oil and gas pipeline market compared to last year. Backlog at March 31, 2015 was $159.3 million, the same level as backlog at March 31, 2014, notwithstanding lower demand in the North American upstream market for Corrosion Protection’s pipeline linings technology and a significant reduction in backlog for pipe coatings with the conclusion of the winter Canadian pipeline construction season. The second half outlook for Corrosion Protection is largely dependent on the outcome of the Canadian pipe ordering season this summer, along with the level of activity in the North America upstream market. The cathodic protection portion of the platform expects to increase project activity in the United States during the second quarter and has secured a more diversified backlog position in Canada to help offset the expected slowdown in oil pipeline activity.

Energy Services

Energy Services has a strong market position in the West Coast downstream refining market, which to date has been largely unaffected by lower oil prices as refining capacity utilization remains at high levels. However, approximately 40 percent of Energy Services platform revenues are in the North American upstream market, which traditionally generates higher margins than in the downstream segment. Customers in the Central California upstream markets are reducing costs through tighter control of maintenance spending, which has negatively impacted gross margins. The market opportunity for Energy Services in the Permian Basin upstream market remains favorable in 2015 and supports continuing investments to build a larger operation in the region. Backlog at March 31, 2015 declined 6.9 percent to $238.2 million from March 31, 2014, primarily due to the timing of a multi-year upstream contract renewal, valued at approximately $15 million per year, which was awarded to Energy Services in April.

If the remaining term of these arrangements exceeds 12 months, the unrecognized revenues attributable to such arrangements included in backlog are limited to only the next 12 months of expected revenues.

Realignment and Restructuring Plan

On October 6, 2014, Aegion announced a restructuring plan (“2014 Restructuring”) to exit low-return CIPP contracting businesses and reduce the size and cost of the Company’s overhead structure to improve gross margins and profitability over the long term.

In 2014, pre-tax charges were $49.5 million ($36.2 million after-tax, or $0.95 per diluted share). During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $3.5 million ($3.3 million after-tax), or $0.09 per diluted share, related to the loss on the sale of Insituform’s contracting business in France and severance, retention and other cash items related to the remaining affected contracting markets and Fyfe/ Fibrwrap as a result of the combination with Insituform.

The Company sold its CIPP contracting operations in Switzerland and France in December 2014 and February 2015, respectively. The sale of both operations resulted in the execution of multi-year product supply agreements with the buyers. The sale of the French operation resulted in a $2.8 million non-cash, pre-tax loss recognized as “Other expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated remaining pre-tax cash charges, after the charge in the first quarter, is estimated to be $4 million to $6 million. Activities with respect to Insituform’s contracting operations in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore are expected to be concluded by the end of the third quarter of 2015 as Insituform completes existing backlog in the affected countries. Activities with respect to contracting operations in India are expected to be concluded by the end of the first quarter of 2016. These restructuring costs relate primarily to employee severance, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other costs.

As previously reported, the 2014 Restructuring is expected to generate annualized savings of $8 million to $11 million, or $0.15 to $0.20 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis. Pre-tax savings in the first quarter of 2015 were $2.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and, to date, the Company has realized pre-tax savings of $6.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Based on restructuring savings to date, it is likely the annual savings will be at the high end of the target range.

Consolidated Highlights

First Quarter 2015 versus First Quarter 2014
(Excludes pre-tax charges for restructuring and acquisition-related expenses)

Consolidated revenues increased $2.9 million, or 1.0 percent, to $309.2 million. Infrastructure Solutions revenues increased slightly to $122.5 million. Revenues for the North America water and wastewater business grew mid-single digits, while revenues for the international water and wastewater business declined because of the decision to exit several international contracting markets as part of the 2014 Restructuring. In the United States, late winter weather in the quarter delayed construction activity for certain operating regions for Infrastructure Solutions. Revenues for Corrosion Protection declined 5.8 percent, quarter-over-quarter, to $101.7 million as strong performance in Canada for the cathodic protection and pipe coatings businesses was offset by reduced spending in certain portions of the upstream market in North America, which mainly affected the pipe lining business. Energy Services grew revenues 11.9 percent to $85.0 million because of an increase in downstream refining billable hours. Adverse foreign currency translation rates accounted for a $10.3 million decrease in consolidated revenues, which affected Infrastructure Solutions and Corrosion Protection, primarily in Canada and Europe.

Consolidated gross profit declined $1.9 million, or 3.1 percent, to $59.2 million. Infrastructure Solutions gross profit grew 12.0 percent to $28.6 million. Gross margins expanded 250 basis points to 23.4 percent through revenue growth and improved execution in North America water and wastewater and improved gross margins for the Fyfe/Fibrwrap business. Gross profit for Corrosion Protection declined 13.7 percent to $20.8 million and gross margins declined 190 basis points to 20.5 percent. Strong performance in Canada by the cathodic protection and pipe coatings businesses was more than offset by weaker activity associated with reduced spending in the upstream market affecting the pipe lining business. In addition, the completion of the high margin coating services Saudi Aramco Wasit project late in 2014, and lower labor utilization for the cathodic protection and corrosion engineering business due to typical seasonal low demand in the United States negatively impacted gross profit dollars, as well as margins. Energy Services gross profit was $9.8 million, a 14.3 percent decline over the prior year period. Gross margins contracted 350 basis points to 11.5 percent as a result of a greater mix of lower margin downstream activity and margin compression in the upstream market as customers controlled spending and hours because of lower oil prices. Adverse foreign currency translation impacted Corrosion Protection and Infrastructure Solutions resulting in a $2.7 million decrease in consolidated gross profit, and an 86 basis point reduction in gross margins.

Consolidated operating expenses decreased 5.8 percent, or $3.0 million, to $48.9 million. Infrastructure Solutions reduced operating expenses by $3.6 million, or 15.1 percent, to $20.5 million, largely due to the 2014 Restructuring and ongoing cost containment efforts. Corrosion Protection operating expenses were $20.3 million, slightly less than the prior year period. Energy Services increased operating expense by 10.1 percent to $8.1 million to support the growth in the downstream segment and to build the necessary organization to pursue future upstream facility maintenance opportunities in the Permian Basin. As a percentage of revenues, the Company's consolidated operating expense ratio decreased 110 basis points to 15.8 percent. Foreign currency translation accounted for a $0.9 million reduction in consolidated operating expense.

Consolidated operating income increased $1.2 million, or 12.6 percent, to $10.3 million. Infrastructure Solutions operating income grew by $6.7 million to $8.2 million because of the benefits from the 2014 Restructuring, solid performance for North American water and wastewater and a $2.7 million year-over- year improvement in operating income for the Fyfe/Fibrwrap business (excluding corporate expense allocations). Corrosion Protection operating income declined by $3.2 million to $0.5 million as record performance in Canada was offset by the gross profit reductions discussed previously. Despite strong revenue growth, Energy Services operating income declined 59.5 percent to $1.6 million because of the decline in gross margin rates and business investments for recent and future growth. Foreign currency translation reduced operating income by $1.8 million, or 17 percent, and operating margins by 57 basis points. The adverse currency translation impacts affected the Corrosion Protection and Infrastructure Solutions platforms.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow used by continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 was $12.2 million compared to $8.9 million used in 2014. Net changes in working capital was a $25.8 million use of cash in the first quarter as vendor payments were higher during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of record business volume in the fourth quarter of 2014. Notwithstanding the negative net change in working capital, days sales outstanding on receivables decreased by nearly six days compared to the first quarter of 2014.

Net cash flow used by investing activities was $11.5 million, compared to $3.1 million provided in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company used $6.5 million, net of cash acquired, for a small acquisition. The positive cash flow in the first quarter of 2014 was the result of $9.1 million in proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s 49% ownership interest in Bayou Coating, L.L.C. following the majority partner’s exercise of its buy-out right. Capital expenditures were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Net cash flows from financing activities used $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $9.3 million used in the prior year quarter. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company used $6.2 million to repurchase 320,000 shares of common stock through open market purchases and to repurchase shares in connection with the Company’s equity compensation programs. The Company also made scheduled principal payments on its long-term debt of $7.0 million.

Net cash flow for the first quarter of 2015 was an outflow of $39.0 million, which included a $3.6 million negative impact from currency exchange rate changes. This compares to an outflow of $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.
