“Our second quarter results demonstrated continued progress in our ongoing program to lower costs, expand margins and increase cash flow from operations. We expanded gross margin by 240 basis points, driving a nearly $3 million improvement to $63.6 million, and our Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 230 basis points to 9.5%, leading to a 25% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the prior year period,” said Keith D. Tucker, Team’s Chief Executive Officer. “These results reflect meaningful progress in our ongoing efforts to improve operating leverage and lower cash overhead costs. Going forward, we expect to build on these improvements while also accelerating our program to improve our job mix and grow our higher margin service lines.”

“While we remain focused on cost discipline and operational execution, during the second quarter, we launched a series of targeted commercial initiatives designed to drive revenue growth within our core markets and accelerate our expansion into attractive end markets such as aerospace and midstream. These initiatives, including the strategic addition of senior operations leaders dedicated to growing these specific end markets, continue to gain traction and we expect to see measurable progress in the second half of 2024. New business and strong demand at our state-of-the-art aerospace facility in Cincinnati drove a 46% revenue increase in the second quarter over the prior year period, and our recent add on investment in that facility will further grow our aerospace capacity by the end of 2024, driving incremental revenue at attractive margins. Additionally, we’ve made progress with our commercial initiative to improve our job mix by refocusing on higher margin revenue streams with more favorable pricing and we expect this and other ongoing initiatives to drive future top line growth,” commented Tucker.

“Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, we see strong activity levels across both of our segments, particularly in turnaround activity and project related work, year over year top line growth and improved margin performance over the first half of 2024 from our international and Canadian operations. We are keenly focused on continuing our positive margin trajectory through both enhanced top line growth and cost discipline and thus reiterate our full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $58 million to $68 million, which represents a 48% improvement at the midpoint over fiscal year 2023,” concluded Tucker.

Financial Results

Second quarter revenues were down $10.9 million to $228.6 million as compared to $239.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in Mechanical Services (“MS”) revenue of $7.4 million, reflecting lower project work and repair and maintenance activities, and a $3.5 million decline in Inspection and Heat Treating (“IHT”) revenue due to lower call out and turnaround activity. Revenue in our U.S. IHT business was up $2.6 million compared to the prior year period, while our U.S. MS revenue was down $2.7 million, mainly due to project timing. Despite lower revenues, second quarter consolidated gross margin improved by $2.6 million to $63.6 million, or 27.8% of revenue, up 240 basis points from 25.4% in the prior year quarter, driven by higher margin projects, improved pricing, and lower overall costs due to the Company’s ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter was $52.4 million, down $3.9 million or 7.0%, from the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on reducing costs. Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expense, which excludes expenses not representative of TEAM’s ongoing operations such as non-recurring professional, legal financing and severance expenses as well as non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, declined by $2.0 million or 4.2% as compared to the prior year quarter, and represented 19.8% of consolidated revenue for the period.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $2.8 million (a loss of $0.63 per share) compared to a net loss of $15.8 million (a loss of $3.61 per share) in the 2023 second quarter. The Company’s Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP measure, improved by $4.2 million to $11.9 million in the 2024 second quarter versus $7.7 million in the prior year quarter. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, expanded 25% to $21.8 million (9.5% of consolidated revenue) in the second quarter of 2024 versus $17.4 million (7.3% of consolidated revenue) in the prior year quarter, with the improvement largely driven by the factors noted above.

Adjusted net loss, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items that are not indicative of TEAM’s core operating activities. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is at the end of this earnings release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Revenues. IHT revenues decreased by $3.5 million or 3.0%, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a $5.4 million decrease in Canada’s nested and turnaround services revenue, a $0.7 million decrease in other international regions, partially offset by a $2.6 million revenue increase in U.S. operations. MS revenues decreased by $7.4 million or 6.0%, in the 2024 second quarter primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in revenue from U.S. operations attributable to project timing, a $2.1 million decrease in revenue from Canada project work and a $2.5 million revenue decrease in other international regions due to generally lower activity levels.

Operating income (loss). IHT’s second quarter 2024 operating income expanded by $5.9 million or 90.3% to $12.5 million, mainly due to lower costs in all regions and improved U.S. margins. MS operating income was lower compared to prior year quarter by approximately $2.1 million or 16.4%, mainly due to lower operating income attributable to international regions of $1.9 million and a $0.5 million decrease from Canada operations, partially offset by an increase from U.S operations. Corporate and shared support services costs decreased by $2.7 million or 18.6%, mainly due to lower professional fees in the current quarter and lower overall costs due to the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts. Consolidated operating income improved by $6.6 million or 142.8% to $11.2 million, driven by the factors discussed above.

Revenues. IHT revenues decreased by $5.9 million or 2.7%, primarily driven by decreased call out and turnaround activities in Canada and other international regions, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in aerospace related revenue. MS revenues decreased by $7.7 million or 3.4%, mainly due to a $6.5 million decrease in Canada operations due to lower project activity and a $1.4 million decrease in U.S. operations.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $6.4 million or 56.5%, driven by lower costs and improved margins. MS operating income decreased by $1.2 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower operating income from Canada and other international operations of $2.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, mainly due to less project work; partially offset by an increase in operating income from U.S. operations of $2.2 million driven by higher activity and improved margins. Corporate operating loss decreased by $2.7 million due to lower costs resulting from the Company’s ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At June 30, 2024, the Company had $40.1 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $17.9 million, (excluding $4.6 million of restricted cash) and $22.2 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities.

The Company’s total debt as of June 30, 2024 was $320.1 million as compared to $311.4 million as of fiscal year end 2023. The increase is mainly due to $6.4 million of paid in kind interest during the period and the incurrence of a new equipment finance facility in March 2024. The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $297.6 million at June 30, 2024.

2024 Outlook

The Company reaffirms the following operating and cash flow guidance for the 2024 fiscal year:

• Total Company Revenue of $850 million to $900 million
• Gross Margin of between $235 million and $265 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of between $58 million and $68 million
• Capital expenditures of between $9 million to $11 million

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the consolidated financial information, including adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) per share; earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); Adjusted EBIT; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), free cash flow and net debt to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share to exclude the following items: non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, certain severance charges, non-routine write off of assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities. Consolidated Adjusted EBIT, as defined by the Company, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, pension credit, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA further excludes depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation costs from consolidated Adjusted EBIT. Segment Adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, certain severance charges, and certain other items as determined by management. Segment Adjusted EBITDA further excludes depreciation, amortization, and non-cash share-based compensation costs from segment Adjusted EBIT. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense is defined to exclude non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, certain severance charges, certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities and non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures. Net debt is defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of debt, including finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance which are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Segment Adjusted EBIT and segment Adjusted EBITDA are also used as a basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Chief Executive Officer) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by the management and investors to analyze the Company’s ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to its stakeholders.

Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
