SUGAR LAND, Texas , Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --  Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI), a global leading provider of integrated, digitally-enabled asset performance assurance and optimization solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2020 .

"Our results reflect an improving, but still challenging, business environment and demonstrate our laser focus and discipline on managing costs, which enabled us to deliver strong third quarter margins," said Amerino Gatti , TEAM's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We exceeded our cost savings forecast, which allowed the company to increase gross margin by 50 basis points and adjusted EBITDA margin by 120 basis points over the prior year quarter.  During the quarter, each of our segments delivered sequential revenue growth as our clients steadily adapted to operating in the current environment. These results were achieved by working more collaboratively with our clients, delivering innovative solutions, and demonstrating execution excellence.

 "Our ability to adjust our cost structure to flex with market dynamics allowed us to deliver another $35 million in cost reductions for the quarter. During the first nine months, we delivered $75 million of cost savings, achieving the previous full year target.  We now estimate our full year 2020 cost savings to be $85 to $95 million.

"While activity levels increased gradually during the quarter, the third quarter was not without its challenges, including the prolonged effects from the oil and gas supply/demand imbalance and COVID-19 related restrictions.  Adding to these market headwinds, the third quarter was also impacted by extreme California wildfires and the most active hurricane season in several decades, which caused repeated work stoppages in the Gulf of Mexico .

"TEAM continues to focus on revenue diversification into growing end markets.  We made progress in both hydroelectric and wind energy and are actively bidding on renewable energy projects globally. Likewise, strategic investments into our digital and technology portfolios improve how we promote client offerings, engage more directly with clients, and deliver integrated solutions. Our digital and technology capabilities have prepared us for these dynamic market conditions and position us to respond to what we expect will be a strong recovery over the next two years.

"Looking ahead, TEAM continues to monitor several risks, including client operations around the holidays, potential COVID-19 impacts, and weather events. Despite these risks and the extended market uncertainty, we remain cautiously optimistic that revenue will further increase in the fourth quarter, primarily benefiting from deferred projects and an improvement in our call-out business.

"I am extremely proud of TEAM's resiliency and execution as we navigate the ongoing pandemic. We also achieved a top quartile safety performance, representing the best safety record in the company's history. In addition, our exceptional technicians on the front lines have established an atmosphere of teamwork and unity.  By boldly facing challenges head on, they have been able to engage our clients, leverage our technology offerings, and manage our risks and financial resources," concluded Mr. Gatti.

Financial Results

Consolidated net loss in the third quarter of 2020 was $9.1 million ( $0.30 loss per diluted share) compared to net loss of $7 .1 million ( $0.23 loss per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2019. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $20.6 million for the prior year quarter. (See the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release.)

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $219.1 million compared to $290.1 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue decreased due to lower activity levels primarily resulting from the impact of COVID-19, the global oil supply/demand imbalance and an active hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico which lead to clients' temporarily closing facilities and/or curtailing operations. In the third quarter of 2020, consolidated gross margin was $63.7 million , or 29.1%, compared with 28.6% in the same quarter a year ago.

SG&A for the third quarter was $61.1 million , down $23.6 million , or a 27.8% improvement from the third quarter of 2019. The company's adjusted measure of net income/loss, Consolidated Adjusted EBIT, was $5.6 million in the third quarter compared to $5.9 million in the prior year comparable quarter.

Third quarter 2020 reported results include certain net charges not indicative of Team's core operating activities, including: $0.9 million of costs related to the OneTEAM program, $0.2 million of legal costs and $0.5 million of natural disaster costs and other non-recurring costs. Net of tax, these items totaled $2.6 million or $0.09 per diluted share.

Adjusted net income or loss, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow 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 release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the company's revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarters ended Sept. 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Decrease in year-over-year activity levels across the company were due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global oil supply/demand imbalance, extreme wildfires in California and an active hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico that lead to clients temporarily closing facilities and/or curtailing operations, resulting in the postponement of client projects and lower demand for the company's services. 

Given the nature and locality of Quest Integrity's business, Quest was particularly impacted by the pandemic as stay-at-home orders limited travel and necessitated quarantine restrictions. The travel restrictions resulted in many of Quest's third quarter projects getting delayed until the fourth quarter of 2020 or early 2021. 

Cash and Debt

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $19.6 million at Sept. 30, 2020 . The company's net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $324.6 million at Sept. 30, 2020 , compared to $318.4 million at Dec. 31, 2019 .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures in this earnings release are provided to enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Team's performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. These measures should be used in addition to, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measure is contained in the accompanying schedule for each of the fiscal periods indicated.
