Mitcham Industries Reports Fiscal 2020 Third Quarter Results


THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) ("Mitcham" or "the Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2020 third quarter ended October 31, 2019.

Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $10.7 million, compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and $14.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  The 20% sequential improvement was driven primarily by further growth within the Marine Technology Products segment.  Year-over-year declines in revenue were primarily due to several sizeable system deliveries during the last year's third quarter, as well as incremental revenue contributions from our former Australian subsidiary, SAP, which has since been sold and is no longer a part of the Company's operations.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and a net loss of $5.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  Third quarter of fiscal 2020 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.6 million, or $(0.21) per share, compared to a loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.30) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and a loss of $5.6 million, or $(0.47) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $198,000, compared to a loss of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net loss and cash provided by operating activities in the accompanying financial tables.

Rob Capps, Mitcham's Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our fiscal 2020 third quarter results came in slightly better than expected. We continue our strategic shift as we expanded our position in marine markets with our new technology and products. Our Marine Technology Products segment has accounted for approximately 70% of our total revenues so far this year.  We saw sequential improvement this quarter not just in revenues, but also in operating income and adjusted EBITDA.

"As mentioned previously, we are working on a number of fronts to expand our product and technology offerings.  We continued to increase our research and development expenses in the quarter and are exploring a number of initiatives to partner with others in order to expand our technology offerings in response to customer requirements.  Order activity for our Marine Technology products segment remains robust with a firm order backlog of $12.5 million at the end of the third quarter.  As indicated by order activity that we announced recently, we are still seeing healthy levels of customer interest and a number of inquiries for technologies such as BuoyLink, SeaLink and MA-X. 

"Regarding our financial position, our capital structure remains strong, with no funded debt on our balance sheet and ample liquidity.  We expect to produce positive Adjusted EBITDA and operating income in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year and believe we will maintain this momentum going into fiscal 2021," concluded Capps.

(1)

EBITDA is defined as net income before (a) interest income and interest expense, (b) provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash foreign exchange gains and losses, non-cash costs of lease pool equipment sales, stock-based compensation and other non-cash tax related items. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of our business, but not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, we have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as indicators of our ability to make capital expenditures and finance working capital requirements and. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as us. In particular, we believe that it is useful to our analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to our core cash operating activities.  We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes.  Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
