Quarterly Report
Ternitz - November 26, 2020
Sales of MEUR 236.4, EBIT before one-off effects at MEUR 1.1\nOperating cash flow increased to MEUR 81.3, net liquidity rose to MEUR 10.5 and liquid funds to MEUR 322\nThe market environment of the oilfield service industry in the first three
quarters of 2020 was characterized by the massive global repercussions of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO), listed on
the ATX leading index of the Vienna Stock Exchange, took off to a good start
into the year and launched proactive measures early in order to mitigate the
negative effects. The crisis-proven management team adjusted capacities as
demanded by local requirements, scaled back capital spending and implemented
cost savings as part of crisis management. A high liquidity and strong balance
sheet support the company's position even in a challenging environment and
ensure long-term success.
However, due to the exceptional situation worldwide, sales and earnings declined
compared to the same period of the previous year. In addition, SBO recognized
non-cash impairments of MEUR 20.5 on assets at subsidiaries in North America as
of 30 June 2020, which impacted earnings. SBO's sales generated in the first
three quarters of the year came to MEUR 236.4, while profit / loss from
operations (EBIT) before one-off effects remained positive at MEUR 1.1. EBIT
after one-off effects totaled MEUR minus 19.8, and profit after tax arrived at
MEUR minus 21.3. SBO generated an operating cashflow of MEUR 81.3 in the first
nine months of 2020, resulting even in a net liquidity of MEUR 10.5. Gearing
improved to minus 3.5 %. Liquid funds increased to MEUR 322.0 (31 December 2019:
MEUR 265.2).
CEO Gerald Grohmann: "The massive impact of COVID-19 on the global economy has
not spared our industry. After the sharp decline in the first half of the year
the oil markets have stabilized again. However, demand for crude oil was still
too low for a sustainable recovery. In our cyclical business, we are crisis-
tested and experienced in responding promptly to changing market conditions. We
have taken targeted measures and adjusted promptly to the current environment.
Our sound balance sheet and strong cash position help us to navigate safely
through this crisis."
Sales and earnings in line with the environment, strong liquidity base expanded
SBO's sales in the first three quarters of 2020 amounted to MEUR 236.4 (1-9/
2019: MEUR 345.9, minus 31.6 %). Bookings dropped from the previous year and
stood at MEUR 184.0 (1-9/2019: MEUR 376.5, minus 51.1 %). The order backlog at
the end of September 2020 was MEUR 69.7 (31 December 2019: MEUR 123.0). Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the first
three quarters of 2020 were MEUR 27.2, compared to MEUR 91.6 in 2019. The EBITDA
margin was 11.5 % (1-9/2019: 26.5 %).
Profit / loss from operations (EBIT) before one-off effects remained positive at
MEUR 1.1 including foreign exchange losses, which had a negative impact on
earnings. Impairments and restructuring expenses of approximately MEUR 21.0
resulted in an EBIT after one-off effects of MEUR minus 19.8 (1-9/2019: MEUR
54.5). As a result, SBO's profit / loss before tax amounted to MEUR minus 21.8
(1-9/2019: MEUR 43.5), profit / loss after tax arrived at MEUR minus 21.3 (1-9/
2019: MEUR 26.6). Earnings per share in the first three quarters of 2020 were
EUR minus 1.35 (1-9/2019: EUR 1.67).
SBO's equity arrived at MEUR 303.3 after the first three quarters of 2020 (31
December 2019: MEUR 370.1). SBO's equity ratio decreased to 37.2 % (31 December
2019: 42.3 %). The positive cashflows could turn the already low level of net
debt in the amount of MEUR 20.1 as of 31 December 2019 even into a net liquidity
of MEUR 10.5 as of 30 September 2020. Gearing improved further to minus 3.5 %
(31 December 2019: 5.4 %). Liquid funds increased to MEUR 322.0 (31 December
2019: MEUR 265.2). SBO additionally strengthened its already strong liquidity
base by raising loans in the amount of MEUR 81.0 in the third quarter. Cashflow
from operating activities rose to MEUR 81.3 in the first three quarters of 2020
(1-9/2019: MEUR 74.7). Capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets (CAPEX, excluding rights of use) was reduced in line with the
market environment and amounted to MEUR 13.9 (1-9/2019: MEUR 23.9).
"The currently challenging industrial environment caused by the coronavirus
crisis requires experience and a management approach based on long-term
considerations. This is secured by our high liquidity, which we strengthened in
the third quarter of 2020 through additional loans raised. While we could not
prevent a decline in sales and earnings in the current exceptional market
situation, our highly qualified employees are using all their expertise to deal
with the effects of the global economic crisis as best as possible and to
maintain our competitiveness over the long term", says CEO Grohmann.
Bottom seems to be reached; significant recovery expected in the second half of
2021
The uncertain current situation makes it difficult to make reliable, robust
forecasts for future economic development and the recovery of the oil market.
However, there are clear indications that the industry has bottomed out, even
though the international markets are running behind. Market perception is that
the prevailing market conditions are going to continue over the upcoming
quarters. Recovery should start to set in in the second half of 2021 at the
latest, which will largely depend on how quickly the COVID-19 pandemic will be
contained and global economic growth will be pointing upward again.
"It seems that the bottom has been reached: The US rig count shows a slight
increase and well completion activities are also picking up again. Recovery is
expected to set in clearly in the second half of 2021, provided that the
consequences of the coronavirus pandemic can be mitigated until then. Actively
managing crises is one of our core competencies. While this is the focus of our
attention, we do not lose sight of opportunities for the future because the next
upturn is bound to come", says SBO CEO Gerald Grohmann.
In the medium term, demand for oil and gas, and with it demand for SBO products
and services, will rise again. In the long-term, there should even be a backlog
in spending for exploration and production. It is an undisputed fact that oil
and gas will continue to play a key role in supplying the world for a long time
and cover more than 50 % of global energy demand for decades to come. With its
innovative products and services, SBO is ready to contribute to the safe and
sustainable production of oil and gas going forward.
