McCoy Corporation announces fourth quarter and annual results for 2012

EDMONTON, March 15, 2013 /CNW/ - McCoy Corporation ("McCoy" or "the Company") (TSX:MCB), a supplier of innovative products and services for the global energy industry, today announced its operational and financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012.

"McCoy achieved record revenue in 2012, driven by the Energy Products and Services (EP&S) segment, which experienced 37% revenue growth over 2011," said Jim Rakievich, President and CEO of McCoy. "In 2012, McCoy demonstrated its ability to develop and bring innovative drilling and completions products to market by successfully commercializing the weCATT torque sub, and prepared for future growth by improving manufacturing efficiencies and strengthening our executive team to execute on our international growth strategy."

Operational Highlights

Since January 1, 2012, the Corporation has:

• Achieved record overall annual revenue of $179.4 million and a 37% increase in revenue in the EP&S segment for the year compared to 2011;
• Reported net earnings of $11.8 million in 2012, or $0.44 per share, a 1% decrease from 2011;
• Achieved record EBITDAS⁽¹⁾ of $22.9 million in 2012, a 6% increase from 2011;
• Secured $53 million in new credit facilities to assist McCoy with achieving its 5 year growth strategy;
• Commercialized the weCATT torque sub, the first new product under the "we" product line and is receiving very positive customer feedback;
• Progressed in the development of products in its "we" product line, including an iron roughneck (weTORQ85), an electric bucking unit (weBUCK), a hydraulic catwalk (weMOVE35) and a casing running tool (weRUN350);
• Announced the next project in its "we" development pipeline, the weHOLD, a casing handling tool system with flush mount spider, conventional spider and elevator configurations;
• Added manufacturing capacity by retrofitting a part of its Edmonton, Alberta plant for weCATT and WinCatt manufacture, added 14,000 square feet of manufacturing space at its bucking unit plant in Broussard, Louisiana, and completed the relocation of Rig Parts manufacturing to a new dedicated facility in Lafayette, Louisiana; and
• Strengthened its executive team by appointing Mr. Jim Nowotny as Senior Vice President, Drilling and Completions; Mr. Kenny Watt as Vice President, Global Services, Drilling and Completions; Mr. Peter Watson as Vice President, Legal and Corporate Secretary; and Mr. John Irwin as a Director.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $44.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million from the comparative quarter in 2011. Strong backlog and increased manufacturing throughput contributed to EP&S revenue growth, offset by declines in the Mobile Solutions segment.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $11.3 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from the comparative quarter in 2011. A slight decline in EP&S gross profit percentage results from lower productivity in the month of December as customer demand began to moderate. Mobile Solutions realized a 3% decrease in the gross profit percentage from the comparative quarter in 2011; however, the gross profit percentage increased by 4% in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2012 as the Company realized the impact of certain cost cutting measures.

EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the comparative quarter in 2011. EP&S EBITDA increased by $2.2 million which was offset by a $1.2 million decline in Mobile Solutions and an increase in Corporate costs of $0.3 million from the comparative quarter.

¹EBITDAS is as an additional GAAP measurement. EBITDAS is defined as "earnings from continuing operations before impairment losses, interest, taxes, amortization and share-based compensation." EBITDAS is not considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring McCoy's performance. EBITDAS does not have a standardized meaning and is therefore not likely to be comparable with similar measures used by other issuers. However, McCoy calculates EBITDAS consistently from period to period.

Annual Financial Highlights

Record revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $179.4 million, an increase of $25.6 million, or 17%, from 2011. Revenue growth continues to be driven by strong backlog and customer demand in the EP&S segment.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $47.5 million, an increase of $5.2 million, or 12%, from 2011. The increase in gross profit is a result of increased EP&S segment revenue, offset by a decline in revenue and gross margin in the Mobile Solutions segment. Mobile Solutions continues to experience a decline in profitability from lower market fundamentals, including a shift towards lower margin products.  However, backlog levels appear to have ended their decline and there are positive market indicators suggesting a recovery in the custom chassis market during the latter part of 2013.

Net earnings for the year were $11.8 million ($0.44 per basic share), a 1% decrease when compared with 2011.

Record EBITDAS¹ for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $22.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 6%, from $21.6 million in 2011.

Strong results in the EP&S segment were offset by declining profitability in the Mobile Solutions segment and an increase in corporate costs. McCoy continues to invest in infrastructure, new product development, strategic hires and sales and marketing to support its long-term growth initiatives. The most significant of these investments are being made in the EP&S segment, where efforts were undertaken to increase manufacturing capacity, improve manufacturing processes and realize efficiencies to improve throughput and customer responsiveness. McCoy expects the full impact of increasing manufacturing capacity will be realized in 2013.

As the Company executes on its growth strategy to expand and market its products internationally, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses are expected to increase in the near term. Once a global management team and international infrastructure are put into place, McCoy anticipates these costs will stabilize and, as a percentage of revenue, decline to historic levels.
