Adjusted EBITDA of $34.5 million in Q2-20
Cash from operating activities of $48.8 million and free cash flow of $37.0 million, or 12% of revenue in Q2-20; free cash flow of $72.0 million excluding $35.1 million of cash payments for transaction expenses

Liquidity of $501 million including cash and unused revolver capacity after repaying in full $125 million of borrowings on our revolving credit facility

THE WOODLANDS, TX, August 5, 2020 - ChampionX Corporation (“ChampionX”) (NYSE: CHX) (“the Company”) today announced second quarter of 2020 results. On June 3, 2020, the Company completed the combination of its business with the legacy ChampionX business. Actual results in the second quarter of 2020 include the results of operations of the legacy Apergy businesses for the entire period, and results from legacy ChampionX for the month of June 2020.

For the second quarter of 2020, revenue was $298.9 million, net loss attributable to ChampionX was $109.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $34.5 million. Loss before income taxes margin was (36.8)%, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.5%. Cash provided by operating activities was $48.8 million, an increase of $19.6 million sequentially, and free cash flow was $37.0 million. Cash flow figures include payment of $35.1 million in transaction-related expenses in the quarter.

Results on a pro forma basis for ChampionX are provided supplementary to the actual results of the Company and represent results as if legacy ChampionX was combined with the Company for the entire period.

For the second quarter of 2020, pro forma revenue was $614.7 million, pro forma net loss was $60.1 million attributable to ChampionX, and pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $62.8 million, including $6 million of estimated cost avoidance synergies. Pro forma results are presented in the section titled “ChampionX Pro Forma Results.” For additional information on the pro forma results see note titled “Results on a Pro Forma Basis” below and the tables included in this release.i

Reportable Segments

ChampionX reports its results under the following segments as well as Corporate and Other:

Production Chemical Technologies - manufactures, supplies, and services a comprehensive suite of innovative production chemical products to oil and natural gas producers and midstream operators, including solutions to manage and control corrosion, oil and water separation, flow assurance, sour gas treatment and a host of water-related issues. Production Chemical Technologies represents the Oilfield Performance segment of legacy ChampionX.

Production & Automation Technologies - designs, manufactures, markets and services a full range of artificial lift equipment, end-to-end digital automation solutions, as well as other production equipment. Production & Automation Technologies segment reporting is unchanged from legacy Apergy.

Drilling Technologies - designs, manufactures, and markets polycrystalline diamond cutters and bearings for use in oil and gas drilling. Drilling Technologies segment reporting is unchanged from legacy Apergy.


1



Reservoir Chemical Technologies - manufactures, supplies, and services a broad range of drilling and completion chemical products that support well stimulation, acidizing, cementing, and remediation needs in the oil and natural gas industry. Reservoir Chemical Technologies represents the Specialty Performance segment of legacy ChampionX.

Business activities that do not meet the criteria of an operating segment have been combined into Corporate and Other. Corporate and Other includes (i) corporate and overhead expenses, and (ii) revenue and costs for activities that are not operating segments.

CEO Commentary

“As we continue to operate in the midst of a global pandemic, the health and safety of our employees remains our highest priority, and we are committed to taking all necessary steps to protect them,” ChampionX’s President and Chief Executive Officer Sivasankaran “Soma” Somasundaram said. “I want to thank all our employees for their continued dedication through this challenging period. They continue to demonstrate outstanding adaptability and flexibility during these uncertain times. It is a privilege for me to lead such a high-performing team.

“The second quarter saw an important and transformative milestone in our Company’s history. With the closing of our merger with legacy ChampionX we became a new company with a strengthened portfolio and expanded global scale.  We believe that the execution of our merger with ChampionX was well timed and positions the new company for stronger performance and enhanced stability in the face of difficult near-term market conditions, and positions us strongly for long-term success as the global energy transition evolves. We believe the more resilient performance of our Production Chemical Technologies segment, which experienced a 15% sequential decline in pro forma revenue, demonstrates the advantages of our strategy of focusing on relatively more stable production-related businesses. In addition, with the merger we have increased our international revenues by more than eight times on a pro forma basis, increased our exposure to larger and more stable customers, particularly national and international oil companies, and on a pro forma basis immediately reduced the leverage on our balance sheet. 

“In the second quarter our team demonstrated exceptional execution. During the quarter, we reacted swiftly as market conditions deteriorated and proactively implemented our comprehensive cost reduction plans to support positive adjusted EBITDA and cash flow generation. For the legacy Apergy companies, we exceeded our cost saving objectives for the second quarter with some additional temporary cost savings actions, including furloughs and salary reductions. At legacy ChampionX, cost reduction actions were implemented prior to the merger, and combined with incremental actions we are now taking, we expect to deliver approximately $50 million of annualized savings within legacy ChampionX. These actions are distinct from our plan to capture the synergies provided by the merger.

“Even in the depths of the current downturn, we continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and generate positive free cash flow. Excluding $35 million of cash transaction expenses, we generated free cash flow of $72 million in the second quarter. We also repaid in full the $125 million we borrowed in April under our revolving credit facility. We ended the quarter with $501 million of liquidity, including $142 million of cash on the balance sheet and $359 million of available capacity on our revolver. In addition, we remain focused on our free cash flow generation and we fully intend to start repaying our debt as early as third quarter of 2020.

“Additionally, our merger integration is on-track and we are implementing our plans to capture the $75 million in cost synergies within 24 months of closing, as well as drive additional revenue growth opportunities. We expect to be at the higher end of the previously announced $25 to $35 million of run rate cost synergies exiting 2020.

“While visibility remains challenging due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID pandemic, we are encouraged by the stabilization in the price of oil. In the third quarter, within our production-focused segments of Production Chemical Technologies and Production & Automation Technologies, we expect to see a modest sequential increase in our revenue due to operators bringing production back on-line. Drilling Technologies revenue is expected to decrease sequentially, driven by continued low drilling activity in the third quarter. On a consolidated basis, in the third quarter we expect a modest sequential increase in our revenue and adjusted EBITDA, driven by our production-focused segments. As we move into the fourth quarter, the seasonal impacts of holidays and E&P capital budget exhaustion are unclear at this time.


2



“We are excited about the completion of the merger and the possibilities for our combined company. Our disciplined operating model, differentiated products and technology, strong free cash flow, and enhanced production-focused portfolio will enable us to be a long-term winner in the evolving global oil & gas industry.”

In the second quarter of 2020, Production & Automation Technologies revenue decreased $90.7 million, or 44%, sequentially, due to lower volumes driven by the rapid reduction in worldwide E&P capital spending. Sequentially, North America revenue declined 48% and international revenue declined 27%. On a year-over-year basis, Production & Automation Technologies revenue decreased $121.1 million, or 51%, driven by the same factors as the sequential change, with North America revenue declining 55% and international revenue declining 33%.

Revenue from digital products was $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $10.8 million, or 32%, compared to $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, and a decrease of $11.2 million, or 33%, compared to $34.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. The sequential and year-over-year decline in digital revenue was driven by reduced hardware sales due to reductions in E&P capital budgets. We expect that sales of digital hardware equipment will continue to be impacted by reduced E&P capital spending.

In the second quarter of 2020, segment operating loss was $37.2 million. Adjusted segment EBITDA was $14.5 million, which decreased $25.5 million sequentially, or 64%, due to the significantly lower volume, partially offset by the benefits of cost reduction actions. On a year-over-year basis, adjusted segment EBITDA decreased $36.2 million, or 71%, due to the lower volume and product mix, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

The sequential decrease in adjusted segment EBITDA of $25.5 million was 28% of the sequential decrease in revenue of $90.7 million, demonstrating the effectiveness of our cost reduction actions.

In the second quarter of 2020, Drilling Technologies revenue decreased by $35.0 million, or 63%, sequentially, driven by the significant decline of worldwide drilling activity, customer destocking of polycrystalline diamond cutter inventories, a product shift mix toward lower price diamond cutters, and lower diamond bearings revenue. On a year-over-year basis, Drilling Technologies revenue decreased $49.4 million, or 70%, driven by the same factors as the sequential change.

Diamond bearings revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $2.3 million, down $3.8 million, or 62%, sequentially, and down $8.9 million, or 80%, year over year.

4




In the second quarter of 2020, segment operating loss was $3.8 million, and adjusted segment EBITDA was $1.8 million. Sequentially adjusted segment EBITDA decreased by $14.0 million, or 89%, due to the lower volumes and shift in product mix, partially offset by the benefits of cost reduction actions. Year-over-year, adjusted segment EBITDA decreased by $24.8 million, or 93%, as a result of the lower volumes and shift in product mix, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

The sequential decrease in adjusted segment EBITDA of $14.0 million was 40% of the sequential decrease in revenue of $35.0 million, demonstrating the effectiveness of our cost reduction actions.

Sequentially, the average worldwide and U.S. rig counts declined 39% and 50%, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, the average worldwide and U.S. rig counts declined 43% and 60%, respectively.

Results on a pro forma basis for the Production Chemical Technologies segment are provided supplementary to the results of the segment included in the actual results for the Company. See note titled “Results on a Pro Forma Basis” below and the tables included in this release.

Production Chemical Technologies pro forma revenue for the full second quarter of 2020 decreased $77.1 million, or 15%, sequentially, due to lower volumes driven by the significant curtailment of global oil production and pricing concessions. Sequentially, North America pro forma revenue declined 29% and international pro forma revenue was approximately unchanged. Compared to the prior year, Production Chemical Technologies pro forma revenue decreased $69.2 million, or 14%, driven by the same factors as the sequential change, with North America pro forma revenue declining 26% and international pro forma revenue declining 1%.

Production Chemical Technologies pro forma operating profit for the full second quarter of 2020 was $37.2 million. Pro forma adjusted segment EBITDA for the full quarter was $58.5 million, which decreased $34.3 million sequentially, or 37%, due to the lower volume and pricing concessions. On a year-over-year basis, pro forma adjusted segment EBITDA for the full quarter decreased $16.7 million, or 22%, due to the lower volume and pricing concessions.

The sequential decrease in pro forma adjusted segment EBITDA of $34.3 million was 45% of the sequential decrease in pro forma revenue of $77.1 million. The elevated percentage was due to pricing concessions, volume related absorption, and unfavorable product mix. We expect the cost reduction actions we are taking and higher volumes to improve the sequential change in adjusted segment EBITDA as a percentage of the sequential change in revenue in the third quarter of 2020.

Reservoir Chemical Technologies pro forma revenue for the full second quarter for 2020 decreased by $21.1 million, or 43%, sequentially, driven by the significant decline of worldwide drilling and completion activity. Compared to the prior year period, Reservoir Chemical Technologies pro forma revenue decreased $54.5 million, or 66%, driven by the same factor as the sequential change.

For the full second quarter of 2020, pro forma segment operating loss was $16.1 million, and pro forma adjusted segment EBITDA was a negative $9.6 million, decreasing sequentially by $7.4 million, and on a year-over-year basis by $20.8 million, as a result of the lower activity.

2020 Capital Expenditure Guidance

For the second half of 2020, we expect our capital expenditures combined with investment in leased assets in the net cash from operating activities section of our consolidated statement of cash flows to be between $30 to $35 million.

Results on a Pro Forma Basis

On June 3, 2020, Apergy Corporation closed on the acquisition of ChampionX Holding, Inc. (“the Transaction”) and assumed the name ChampionX Corporation (“ChampionX”). Actual results reflect the respective contributions from each company based on the close of the Transaction. For comparative purposes, management has also presented herein certain unaudited pro forma financial information as if the Transaction was completed on January 1, 2019, including results on a pro forma basis for revenue, income before income taxes, income before income taxes margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment revenue, segment operating profit (loss), adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2019. The financial results on a pro forma basis are provided to assist investors in assessing ChampionX’s performance on a basis that includes the combined results of operations of both Apergy Corporation and ChampionX Holding, Inc. for the full reporting period. ChampionX management believes this unaudited pro forma historical financial information helps investors understand the long-term profitability trends of its newly combined business giving effect to the Transaction and facilitates comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers. The historical financial results on a pro forma basis herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

About Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to ChampionX, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to ChampionX, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin, pro forma segment revenue, pro forma segment operating profit (loss), and pro forma adjusted segment EBITDA reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. In addition, free cash flow and free cash flow to revenue ratio are used by management to measure our ability to generate positive cash flow for debt reduction and to support our strategic objectives, while adjusted working capital provides a meaningful measure of operational results by showing changes caused by revenue or our operational initiatives. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

_______________________
(1)
Includes charges for goodwill and long-lived asset impairments of $657.3 million in our Production & Automation Technologies segment during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred an impairment loss of $1.7 million related to the classification of our pressure vessel manufacturing business as held for sale.
(2)
Separation and supplemental benefit costs primarily relates to separation costs, and to a lesser extent, enhanced or supplemental benefits provided to employees no longer participating in Dover Corporation benefit and compensation plans. Supplemental benefit costs are expected to be incurred through the end of 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we paid approximately $3.0 million related to a tax indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the tax matters agreement with Dover Corporation. The benefit for the period represents the true-up of our accrual pertaining to this matter, which was accrued for in September 2019.
(3)
Includes costs incurred in relation to business combinations, primarily related to the Merger of legacy ChampionX of $52.3 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, we incurred professional fees related to the planned integration of legacy ChampionX of $5.6 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
(4)
The purchase accounting entries associated with the Merger of legacy ChampionX require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the previous book value of the inventory.  Included in our GAAP presentation, the increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related product is sold.  
(5)
Includes professional fees related to the remediation of material weaknesses identified during 2019 as well as professional fees incurred in connection with the goodwill impairment charge recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
(6) We generally tax effect adjustments using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of approximately 23 percent. The impairment loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes non-taxable goodwill of $560.1 million.

ChampionX is providing the below unaudited supplemental historical financial information of the Company on a non-GAAP adjusted basis for the three month periods ended June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 and the six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 as if the Merger was completed on January 1, 2019, to assist investors in assessing ChampionX’s historical performance on a basis that includes the combined results of operations of both legacy Apergy Corporation and legacy ChampionX. The unaudited pro forma historical financial information has been prepared by ChampionX using assumptions that ChampionX believes provide a reasonable basis for presenting the combination of the historical financial information of legacy Apergy and legacy ChampionX. As legacy ChampionX historically was unable to allocate certain charges on a segment basis, we have determined an allocation methodology for historical pro forma information to provide additional comparability amongst the legacy ChampionX segments. ChampionX management believes this unaudited supplemental historical financial information helps investors understand the long-term profitability trends of its newly combined business giving effect to the Merger and facilitates comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers. The supplemental unaudited financial information herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The supplemental unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations or the financial position of the combined company would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they indicative of future results of operations or financial position of the combined company.
