Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes certain terms or performance measures commonly used in the mining industry that are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including LOM Total Initial & Sustaining Capital, Closure Costs, and operating costs per tonne processed. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The Company discloses “LOM Total Initial & Sustaining Capital” and operating costs per tonne processed because it understands that certain investors use this information to determine the Company’s ability to generate earnings and cash flows for use in investing and other activities. The Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, do not fully illustrate the ability of mines to generate cash flows. The measures, as determined under IFRS, are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operating activities. The measures cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are considered to be key indicators of a project’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS. Readers should also refer to our management’s discussion and analysis, available under our corporate profile at www.sedar.com for a more detailed discussion of how we calculate such measures.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") (NYSE:OII) today reported a net loss of $38.8 million, or $(0.39) per share, on revenue of $467 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted net income was $5.0 million, or $0.05 per share, reflecting the impact of $30.6 million of pre-tax adjustments associated with the write-off of certain uncollectible accounts and foreign exchange losses recognized during the quarter and $19.6 million of discrete tax adjustments, primarily due to changes in valuation allowances.

During the prior quarter ended September 30, 2021, Oceaneering reported net loss of $7.4 million, or $(0.07) per share, on revenue of $467 million. Adjusted net loss was $1.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, reflecting the impact of $0.3 million of pre-tax adjustments associated with foreign exchange losses recognized during the quarter and $5.8 million of discrete tax adjustments, primarily due to changes in valuation allowances.

Adjusted operating income (loss), operating margins, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins), and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impacts of certain identified items. Reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures are shown in the tables Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (EPS), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Margins, Free Cash Flow, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Estimates, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Margins by Segment, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Margins by Segment. These tables are included below under the caption Reconciliations of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Information.

For the fourth quarter of 2021:

• Cash flow generated from operations was $140 million yielding free cash flow of $126 million
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $46.7 million
• Consolidated Adjusted Operating Income was $17.0 million
• Cash position increased by $90.4 million, from $448 million to $538 million
• Repurchased $37.0 million of our 2024 senior notes through open-market transactions

As of December 31, 2021:

• Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV): fleet count was 250; Q4 utilization was 55%; and Q4 average revenue per day on hire was $8,162
• Manufactured Products backlog was $318 million

Guidance for 2022:

• Consolidated EBITDA of $225 million to $275 million
• Continued significant free cash flow generation in the range of $75 million to $125 million
• Increased growth capital expenditures as compared to 2021

Roderick A. Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering, stated, "I am pleased with our achievements in 2021 as our $211 million of adjusted EBITDA achieved the top end of the adjusted EBITDA guidance range provided at the beginning of the year and exceeded the guidance mid-point by 14%. Except for Manufactured Products, which is tied to longer-cycle market drivers, all of our operating segments delivered improved sequential annual operating results in 2021. We delivered robust free cash flow in 2021, which supported our ability to repurchase $100 million of our 2024 senior notes and increased our cash position by $86 million during the year to $538 million on December 31, 2021. I am encouraged by the supportive market fundamentals that emerged in 2021 and expect this to drive increased activity across all our segments in 2022.

“Turning to fourth quarter 2021 results, we produced consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $46.7 million, within the guidance range provided at the beginning of the quarter. In addition to typical seasonality, the quarterly operating results, and associated EBITDA, were also impacted by a material increase in medical and information technology costs recognized during the quarter and additional incentive compensation accruals tied to our strong free cash flow and annual results. Consolidated revenue of $467 million was flat with the third quarter, as a substantial revenue increase in Manufactured Products offset lower revenue in each of our other segments. Cash generated by operations of $140 million led to strong free cash flow of $126 million.

“We made the decision during the fourth quarter to terminate a number of entertainment ride systems contracts with the financially embattled developer, China Evergrande Group and its affiliated companies (Evergrande). As a result, we recorded a net loss of $30 million in connection with these Evergrande contracts in our fourth quarter financial results. In conjunction with this termination, we reclassified $20 million of contract assets into salable inventory.

Segment Results:

"Our fourth quarter 2021 Subsea Robotics (SSR) operating income improved sequentially, despite lower revenue. The performance was led by improved pricing in our ROV and tooling businesses. SSR EBITDA margin of 31% during the fourth quarter improved as compared to the 29% achieved during the third quarter of 2021 and was consistent with the average margin achieved during the first nine months of 2021.

"Fourth quarter 2021 ROV days on hire declined 12% as compared to the third quarter 2021 due primarily to typical lower seasonal vessel activity. Fleet utilization declined to 55% in the fourth quarter of 2021 from 63% in the third quarter of 2021. Our fleet use during the quarter was 62% in drill support and 38% in vessel-based services, compared to 57% and 43%, respectively, during the third quarter. Fourth quarter 2021 average ROV revenue per day on hire of $8,162 was 4% higher than in the third quarter of 2021.

"Manufactured Products fourth quarter 2021 revenue of $103 million was 37% higher than in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin of 9% were substantially higher sequentially, primarily due to better absorption of fixed costs and favorable project mix. Our Manufactured Products backlog on December 31, 2021 was $318 million, compared to our September 30, 2021 backlog of $334 million. The backlog decline in the fourth quarter of 2021 reflects a $38 million reduction associated with the Evergrande contract terminations. Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.1 for the full year of 2021, as compared with the trailing 12-month book-to-bill of 1.0 on September 30, 2021.

"Sequentially, our fourth quarter 2021 Offshore Projects Group (OPG) operating income decreased on lower revenue. Revenue declined 11% due to seasonality in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and the third quarter completion of the Angola riserless light well intervention project. Fourth quarter 2021 operating income margin of 8% remained consistent with the third quarter of 2021 as improved margins from intervention, maintenance and repair (IMR) activity positively offset the fixed cost margin effects of lower revenue.

"Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (IMDS) fourth quarter 2021 operating income increased sequentially on slightly lower revenue. Operating income margin improved to 10% in the fourth quarter of 2021 from 9% in the third quarter of 2021, as the business continued to benefit from operational improvements implemented since the beginning of 2020.

"Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech) fourth quarter 2021 operating income declined from the third quarter of 2021, on a 6% decrease in revenue. Operating income margin declined, as expected, to 13%, due to changes in project mix. At the corporate level, fourth quarter 2021 Unallocated Expenses of $36.7 million were higher than the third quarter of 2021 due to a combination of increased accruals for incentive-based compensation, higher than expected health care costs, and increased information technology costs.

Full Year Results:

"For the year, consolidated adjusted operating income improved on a slight revenue increase as compared to 2020. Adjusted operating income in our energy segments improved and operating income margin improved by 376 basis points over 2020 results, to 9%. The improved results were a result of a shift in the mix of revenue and a continued focus on operational excellence programs. Our ADTech segment continued to be a steady performer, delivering another record year of operating income and margins consistent with 2020.

"Compared to 2020, our 2021 consolidated revenue increased 2% to $1.9 billion, with revenue increases in our SSR, OPG, IMDS, and ADTech segments being partially offset by a decline in our Manufactured Products revenue. Consolidated 2021 adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA improved, led by our OPG and SSR segments. In 2021, each of our operating segments contributed positive adjusted operating income and positive adjusted EBITDA. We generated $225 million in cash flow from operations and invested $50.2 million in capital expenditures. Significant free cash flow of $175 million allowed us to repurchase $100 million of our 2024 senior notes while increasing our cash balance by $86 million to $538 million.

2022 Guidance:

"As a result of first quarter seasonality in our energy businesses, uncertainties regarding US Government appropriations due to the continuing resolution, and anticipated expenses needed to prepare for higher activity in 2022, we expect our first quarter 2022 financial results to be significantly lower as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. However, based on year-end 2021 backlog, projected start dates of new contracts, anticipated 2022 order intake, and supportive market fundamentals, we project a greater than commensurate ramp-up in second quarter activity and financial results which are expected to be sustained throughout the remainder of the year. We are projecting our 2022 consolidated revenue to grow more than 10%, with increased revenue in each of our operating segments, led by Manufactured Products. We expect sequential improvement in our 2022 financial results based on our expectation for higher operating income and higher margins in each of our energy segments, led by SSR and OPG, and higher operating income and stable margins in our ADTech segment. For the year, we anticipate generating $225 million to $275 million of EBITDA, with increased contributions from each of our segments. At the midpoint of this range, our EBITDA for 2022 would represent an 18% increase over 2021 adjusted EBITDA. We anticipate our full year 2022 to yield positive free cash flow of $75 million to $125 million. These expectations assume the continuing trend of supportive commodity prices and no significant incremental COVID-19 impacts.

"For SSR, our expectation for improved results is based on increased ROV days on hire, minor shifts in geographic mix, and stable to improving pricing. Results for tooling-based services are expected to improve, with activity levels generally following ROV days on hire. Survey results are projected to improve on higher survey and positioning activity. We expect revenue growth in the high-single-digit range and EBITDA margins to average in the low 30% range for the full year.

"We expect Manufactured Products segment performance to improve on a significant increase in revenue, primarily as a result of increased order intake in our energy businesses during 2021. We are seeing increasing interest in our mobility solutions businesses, and currently expect to see marginally higher activity from these businesses in 2022 and see an opportunity to build backlog for a more meaningful contribution in 2023. We forecast our operating income margins to be in the mid-single-digit range for the year.

"OPG operating results are expected to improve in 2022, on a marginal increase in revenue. This expectation is based on better anticipated pricing, improved vessel utilization, and increased diving activities more than offsetting lower revenue from riserless light well intervention activities. Overall, for 2022, we expect operating income margins to average in the high-single- to low-double-digit range.

"IMDS results are forecast to improve on higher revenue, continuing the trend seen over the last several years. We believe customers continue to see value in our service offerings and see good global opportunities for renewals and business expansion, particularly in the UK and West Africa. Operating income margin is expected to remain in the high-single-digit range for the year.

"Our 2022 ADTech revenue is expected to be higher, producing improved operating results. We anticipate growth in all three of our government-focused businesses. Operating income margins are expected to average in the mid-teens range for the year.

"For 2022, we anticipate Unallocated Expenses to average in the mid-$30 million range per quarter.

"Interest expense, net of interest income, is expected to be approximately $38 million, and we expect our 2022 cash tax payments to be in the range of $40 million to $45 million.

First Quarter 2022 Guidance:

"Sequentially, as previously noted, we forecast our first quarter 2022 EBITDA to be significantly lower on lower revenue. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, we anticipate lower revenue and operating results in our energy segments, and relatively flat revenue and lower operating results in our ADTech segment. In the first quarter of 2022, we anticipate incurring higher costs for hiring and training of personnel, mobilization of equipment, and inflation as we prepare for a significant increase in activity forecast for the remainder of 2022.

Growth and Capital Discipline:

"Our ability to generate substantial free cash flow over the last several years has allowed us to de-risk the pending maturity of our 2024 senior notes. Our focus has turned to growth, where we will continue to develop and deliver technologies to help our customers produce hydrocarbons in a cleaner, safer manner while increasing our investments into new markets including energy transition, digital asset management, aerospace and defense solutions, and mobility solutions. We forecast our capital expenditures will total between $70 million to $90 million in 2022. We anticipate commodity prices to support growth and free cash generation in our traditional businesses during 2022 to underpin these investments."

Note on Financial Results Release Date

Contrary to reports from some news services, March 28, 2022, is the original planned date for the release of these financial results.

Impact of Developments in Europe

In light of the current events in eastern Europe, it should be noted that, despite the military conflict and the resulting market volatility, European Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) producers, such as Anaergia, are seeing much higher prices for sales of RNG. Over the last eight months, natural gas prices increased more than fivefold in western European markets. Furthermore, the European Union recently promulgated a new policy that recognizes the environmental benefits of RNG, and ascribes value to them, leading to further increases in RNG prices. As such, assuming no significant changes to current pricing levels, we expect that our plants in Italy, which are to begin production late this year, will likely be significantly more profitable than had been originally projected.

About Anaergia

Anaergia was created to eliminate a major source of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) by cost effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas (“RNG”), fertilizer and water, using proprietary technologies. With a proven track record from delivering world-leading projects on four continents, Anaergia is uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end solutions for extracting organics from waste, implementing high efficiency anaerobic digestion, upgrading biogas, producing fertilizer and cleaning water. Our customers are in the municipal solid waste, municipal wastewater, agriculture, and food processing industries. In each of these markets Anaergia has built many successful plants including some of the largest in the world. Anaergia owns and operates some of the plants it builds, and it also operates plants that are owned by its customers.

Transaction Expected to Complete Commercialization of Corpus Christi Stage III Project

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: LNG) announced today that its subsidiary, Cheniere Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage III, LLC (“CCL Stage III”), has amended the long-term Integrated Production Marketing (“IPM”) gas supply agreement signed in 2019 with EOG Resources, Inc. (“EOG”) (NYSE: EOG), extending the term and tripling the volume of LNG associated with the natural gas supply under this long-term IPM transaction.

Under the amended IPM transaction, EOG has agreed to sell 420,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day to CCL Stage III for a period of 15 years, with one third of the supply targeted to commence upon the completion of each of Trains 1, 4 and 5 of the Corpus Christi Stage III project. The LNG associated with this gas supply, or approximately 2.55 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”), will be owned and marketed by Cheniere, and EOG will receive a price based on the Platts Japan Korea Marker (“JKM”) for this gas.

In addition, the previously executed gas supply agreement, under which EOG will sell 300,000 MMBtu per day to CCL Stage III at a price indexed to Henry Hub, has been extended to 15 years. As a result, EOG will supply a total of 720,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day to CCL Stage III under the amended agreements for a 15-year period expected to commence upon start-up of the Corpus Christi Stage III project.

EOG will continue to sell 140,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day to Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, which commenced in 2020, until the commencement of the amended long-term agreements. The LNG associated with this gas supply, or approximately 0.85 mtpa, is owned and marketed by Cheniere, and EOG receives a price based on JKM for this gas.

“We are pleased to build upon the mutually beneficial long-term agreements we signed in 2019 with EOG, one of the largest independent natural gas producers in the United States. The extension and increase of our original IPM transaction further leverages our infrastructure platform, capabilities, and operations in Corpus Christi,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This transaction is expected to provide the remaining commercial support needed to move forward with Corpus Christi Stage III, and we are focused on completing the outstanding steps required in order to reach FID this year.”

The CCL Stage III project is being developed to include seven midscale liquefaction trains with a total expected nominal production capacity of over 10 mtpa.

2021 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Southwestern Energy recorded net income of $2.4 billion, or $2.31 per diluted share, including a positive $2.0 billion non-cash change in unsettled mark to market derivatives. This compares to a net loss of $92 million, or ($0.14) per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), which excludes non-cash items noted above and other one-time charges, was $318 million or $0.31 per diluted share in 2021 and $119 million or $0.18 per share for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily related to increased production volumes and increased commodity prices. For the fourth quarter of 2021, adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $671 million, net cash provided by operating activities was $533 million and net cash flow (non-GAAP) was $633 million, and free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $341 million.

As indicated in the table below, fourth quarter 2021 weighted average realized price, including $0.28 per Mcfe of transportation expenses, was $5.36 per Mcfe, excluding the impact of derivatives. Including derivatives, the weighted average realized price for the quarter was up 31% to $2.81 per Mcfe, as compared to prior year, primarily due to higher commodity prices, including a 119% increase in NYMEX and an 81% increase in WTI, partially offset by the impact of settled derivatives. Fourth quarter 2021 weighted average realized price before transportation expense and excluding derivatives was $5.64 per Mcfe.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

The Company recorded a net loss of $25 million, or ($0.03) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a net loss of $3.1 billion, or ($5.42) per share in 2020. In 2021, the Company recorded a $944 million non-cash loss on unsettled derivatives. Excluding these non-cash and other one-time items, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for 2021 was $831 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to $221 million, or $0.38 per share, in 2020. The increase in adjusted net income (non-GAAP) compared to prior year was primarily the result of increased commodity prices and increased production volumes associated with the Company’s acquisitions. In 2021, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $1.8 billion, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 billion, net cash flow (non-GAAP) was $1.7 billion, and free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $547 million.

As indicated in the table below, for the full year 2021, weighted average realized price, including $0.34 per Mcfe of transportation expense, was $3.74 per Mcfe excluding the impact of derivatives. Including derivatives, weighted average realized price was up 30% from $1.94 per Mcfe in 2020 to $2.53 per Mcfe in 2021. The increase was primarily related to higher commodity prices, including an 85% increase in NYMEX Henry Hub and a 72% increase in WTI, partially offset by the impact of derivatives. In 2021, the weighted average realized price before transportation expenses and excluding the impact of derivatives was $4.08 per Mcfe.

As of December 31, 2021, Southwestern Energy had total debt of $5.4 billion and net debt to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of 2.0x. At the end of 2021, the Company had access to $1.4 billion of liquidity, with $460 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $160 million in outstanding letters of credit. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company further extended its maturity profile and improved its weighted average cost of debt when securing financing for the consideration of its GEP Haynesville acquisition by issuing $1.15 billion of 4.75% senior notes due 2032 and a $550 million institutional term loan subject to variable rate interest at 3.0% at year-end.

In January 2022, the Company received an upgrade to its long-term debt issuer rating from S&P to BB+, placing the Company one notch below investment grade credit rating. The Company also retired during January the remaining $201 million of senior notes due March 2022.

Operational Results

Total production for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was 385 Bcfe, comprised of 86% natural gas, 12% NGLs and 2% oil. Production totaled 1.24 Tcfe for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Capital investments in the fourth quarter of 2021 were $292 million, bringing full year capital investment to $1,108 million. The Company brought 93 wells to sales, drilled 87 wells and completed 93 wells during the year.

Appalachia – In the fourth quarter, total production was 283 Bcfe, with NGL production of 84 MBbls per day and oil production of 15 MBbls per day. The Company drilled 13 wells, completed 11 wells and placed 11 wells to sales with an average lateral length of 17,129 feet. During the fourth quarter, Appalachia well costs averaged $650 per lateral foot for wells placed to sales, including approximately $518 per lateral foot in dry gas Marcellus.

In 2021, Appalachia’s total production was 1.1 Tcfe, including 103 MBbls per day of liquids. During 2021, the Company drilled 74 wells, completed 78 wells and placed 78 wells to sales, with an average lateral length of 14,332 feet. At year-end, the Company had 20 drilled but uncompleted wells in Appalachia.

Haynesville – In the fourth quarter, total production was 102 Bcf. There were 11 wells drilled, 11 wells completed and 10 wells placed to sales in the quarter with an average lateral length of 6,875 feet.

Production for the year was 132 Bcf in Haynesville. The Company drilled 13 wells, completed 15 wells and brought 15 wells to sales following the close of the Indigo acquisition, with 29 drilled but uncompleted wells at year-end, including those acquired from GEP Haynesville.

The Haynesville results in 2021 include activity from the properties acquired from Indigo Natural Resources starting on September 1, 2021. The Company closed its acquisition of GEP Haynesville on December 31, 2021, and, as such, there was no impact to reported 2021 production or capital investments.

2021 Proved Reserves

The Company increased its total proved reserves to 21.1 Tcfe at year-end 2021, up 76% from 12.0 Tcfe at year-end 2020. The increase was primarily related to reserves acquired from Indigo Natural Resources and GEP Haynesville, reserve additions in Appalachia, as well as an increase in commodity prices.

The after-tax PV-10 (standardized measure) of the Company’s reserves was $18.7 billion. The PV-10 value before the impact of taxes (non-GAAP) was $22.4 billion, including $15.5 billion from Appalachia and $6.9 billion from Haynesville. SEC prices used for the Company’s reported 2021 reserves were $3.60 per Mcf NYMEX Henry Hub, $66.56 per Bbl WTI, and $28.65 per Bbl NGLs.

The Company reported 2021 proved developed finding and development (“PD F&D”) costs of $0.42 per Mcfe for its Appalachia properties when excluding the impact of capitalized interest and portions of capitalized G&A costs in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board has approved Tortoise MLP & Pipeline Fund (TORIX/TORTX/TORCX) to shift from semi-annual to quarterly distribution payouts. This distribution schedule enhancement aligns with the cash flow energy infrastructure companies pay into the fund.

Quarterly distribution payouts provide more frequent income distributions to shareholders benefiting those taking cash distributions and better aligns with industry practice. The payouts will be in the months of February, May, August, and November with a possible fifth calendar year payment in late December to true-up of any remaining net investment income and capital gains for the calendar year to avoid excise tax, pursuant to tax regulations of regulated investment companies (RIC).

“Our outlook for energy infrastructure is incredibly bullish,” said Matt Sallee, President – Tortoise. “Several portfolio companies recently made announcements to significantly grow distributions and we believe others may follow suit. These distribution increases, coupled with paying out all the return of capital generated by the underlying MLPs in the portfolio should result in a higher TORIX distribution for shareholders moving forward. In recent years, many of our underlying portfolio companies have adjusted their business model to generate significant free cash flow from their underlying businesses, leading to a significant reduction in companies’ leverage levels. Now that current debt levels are in-line with longer-term targets, free cash flow is being directed towards share buybacks and increased distribution growth and we want to pass along that value to our shareholders.”

Distribution Dates and Amounts

Tortoise MLP & Pipeline Fund has paid on February 24, 2022 distributions to shareholders of record as of February 23, 2022.

Clear here for a full distribution history. For distribution dates and amounts for Tortoise MLP & Energy Income Fund (INFRX/INFFX/INFIX), please refer to the website here.

Free cash flow is the cash a company produces through its operations, less the cost of total capital expenditures (growth and maintenance).

Since the contract began trading on January 24, over 12,000 ICE Midland WTI AGC futures have traded, equivalent to 12 million barrels of Permian Basin originated WTI crude oil. Open interest is 3,576 contracts and goes out to January 2023.
