McCoy Global Inc. announces second quarter 2015 results

McCoy Global Inc. today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

"The continued decline in North American drilling and completions activity significantly impacted McCoy Global's second quarter revenue and gross profit," said Jim Rakievich, President and CEO of McCoy Global. "Although the timing of any recovery remains uncertain, we will continue to responsibly manage costs and cash flow throughout the downturn and focus on working with our strong customer base to deliver market leading technologies. McCoy Global has a proven leadership team in place, a strong balance sheet and a long-term strategy for the Corporation to which we remain committed. As this downturn evolves, our long-term plan to strategically position the Corporation into the global market has become increasingly important. Additionally, our focus on aftermarket opportunities has provided additional revenue in an environment of tight capital equipment budgets."

Quarterly financial highlights

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was US$23.0 million, a decrease of US$5.0 million, or 18%, from US$27.9 million in the comparative quarter of 2014. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by a sharp decline in North American capital equipment demand, partially offset by a modest increase in aftermarket revenues.

Gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 29%, a 14 percentage point decrease from Q2 2014. Gross profit was impacted by an unfavorable shift in product mix with fewer high-margin technical and proprietary software product sales, underutilized production capacity which resulted in the under absorption of production facility expenses and challenging market conditions which generated pricing pressure on certain orders.

General and administrative ('G&A') expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was US$4.9 million, a decrease of US$2.0 million from the comparative period in 2014. Continued discipline over discretionary spending and the execution of cost reduction initiatives contributed to the overall decrease in overhead expenditures. This was offset to some extent by G&A costs added to support Eastern hemisphere regional locations and by the impact of foreign exchange as a significant portion of G&A expenses are denominated in United States dollars, with the weakening Canadian dollar negatively impacting G&A expense.

McCoy Global's tax expense was impacted by geographic mix of earnings and losses. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, this resulted in a net tax expense of US$0.1 million on an accounting loss of US$0.5 million. In the comparative quarter, the overall effective tax rate was 25%. Loss from continuing operations was US$0.5 million ($0.02 loss per basic share) in Q2 2015, compared to earnings of US$2.3 million (US$0.08 earnings per basic share) in Q2 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was US$1.3 million, a 66% decrease from US$3.9 million during the same period in 2014, due mainly to lower revenues and gross profit, partially offset by reduced general and administration expenses.

At June 30, 2015, McCoy Global had working capital of US$75.1 million, including US$23.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
