“We remain encouraged by the overall trajectory of our business, with our third quarter results demonstrating the benefits from our ongoing operational and commercial initiatives. Overall revenue grew 2% over the prior year period, with revenue in the core U.S. business up 6%, offset by lower year over year revenue in Canada and, to a lesser extent, our other international operations. Although our overall third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $11.3 million was consistent with the prior year, we generated a 33% year over year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA from our Inspection and Heat Treating segment driven by 8% year over year revenue growth in the U.S. business. Furthermore, we are seeing encouraging results from commercial initiatives targeting growth in higher margin revenue streams as demonstrated by a 41% increase in heat treating revenue and a 32% increase in aerospace revenue in the third quarter. We also showed tangible progress in our ongoing efforts to improve cash flow generation, delivering free cash flow of $3.9 million during the quarter, up $4.7 million over 2023. Additionally, through the first nine months of 2024, our Adjusted EBITDA grew by 21% to $39.6 million, a significant improvement over the prior year,” said Keith D. Tucker, Team’s Chief Executive Officer.

“We remain aggressively focused on margin improvement across the organization and in September, as part of our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, launched targeted actions that, in the near term, are expected to yield annualized cost savings of between $6 million and $8 million. We are also taking steps to address the underperformance of our Canadian and certain international operations through a mix of top-line initiatives and cost actions. We are keenly focused on maintaining our positive margin trajectory and cash flow generation through both top line growth and cost discipline,” commented Tucker.

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we see healthy activity levels across both segments and improved Adjusted EBITDA margin performance versus the 2023 period. Turning to 2025, based upon the early success of our commercial initiatives, continued cost discipline and anticipated improvement in our Canadian and other international operations, we expect top line growth in the low to mid-single digits and continued progress towards our targeted Adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 10%. Finally, this management team is committed to strengthening our financial performance and growing shareholder value by leveraging our unparalleled technical capabilities, operational excellence and safety culture,” concluded Tucker.

Financial Results

Third quarter revenues increased $4.0 million or 2% to $210.8 million compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 6% increase in U.S. revenue due to higher activity in nested and turnaround activity in Inspection and Heat Treating (“IHT”) and valves services within our Mechanical Services (“MS”) segment, partially offset by lower year over year revenue from our Canadian operations. Third quarter consolidated gross margin improved by $0.7 million to $53.5 million, or 25.4% of revenue, consistent with the prior year period’s gross margin percentage.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter was $50.4 million, down $3.7 million or 6.8%, from the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expense, which excludes expenses not representative of TEAM’s ongoing operations such as non-recurring professional, legal, financing and severance expenses as well as non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense, was essentially flat compared to the 2023 period, and declined to 21.7% of consolidated revenue.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $11.1 million (a loss of $2.52 per share) compared to a net loss of $12.1 million (a loss of $2.78 per share) in the 2023 third quarter. The Company’s Adjusted EBIT, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus $1.5 million in the prior year quarter. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $11.3 million (5.4% of consolidated revenue) in the third quarter versus $11.1 million (5.4% of consolidated revenue) in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net loss, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense 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 earnings release.

Segment Results

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company’s revenue and operating income (loss) by segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Revenues. IHT revenues increased by $3.7 million or 3.6%, in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $6.7 million increase in the U.S. revenue resulting from higher activity in nested and turnaround services, partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in Canadian revenue resulting from lower nested and turnaround activity. MS revenues increased by $0.3 million primarily due to higher turnaround and valve services revenue from U.S. operations of $2.3 million, partially offset by lower revenue of $2.0 million from Canada and other international regions generally attributable to lower project work.

Operating income (loss). IHT’s third quarter 2024 operating income increased by $3.4 million or 53.8% to $9.9 million, mainly due to a $4.7 million improvement in U.S. operating income driven by higher revenue and lower costs, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in operating income from Canada due to lower activity. MS operating income decreased by approximately $2.0 million, mainly due to lower revenue attributable to Canada and other international regions, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase from U.S. operations. Corporate and shared support services costs were lower by $3.0 million or 21.1%, mainly due to lower professional fees and the reversal of legal reserve in the current quarter. Consolidated operating income improved by $4.4 million driven by the factors discussed above.

Revenues. IHT revenues were lower by $2.1 million, primarily due to reduced call out and turnaround activities in Canada and other international regions of $10.5 million, partially offset by higher U.S. revenue of $8.4 million driven mainly by higher heat treating and other activity. MS revenue decreased by $7.4 million or 2.3%, mainly due to a $7.6 million decrease in Canada revenue related to lower project activity.

Operating income (loss). IHT operating income increased by $9.8 million or 55.5%, reflecting lower costs and improved margins. MS operating income decreased by $3.2 million primarily due to lower combined operating income from Canada and other international operations of $6.0 million due to lower year over year revenue attributable to projects from the prior year period that did not repeat in 2024, partially offset by an increase from U.S. operations of $2.8 million reflecting higher activity and improved margins. Corporate operating loss decreased by $5.7 million primarily due to a reduction in professional fees and the reversal of legal reserve in the current year period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At September 30, 2024, the Company had $42.9 million of total liquidity, consisting of consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $14.9 million, (excluding $4.2 million of restricted cash) and $28.0 million of undrawn availability under its various credit facilities, consisting of $18.0 million available, following the execution of ABL Amendment No.5, under the Revolving Credit Loans and $10.0 million available under the Incremental Term Loan.

The Company’s total debt as of September 30, 2024 was $321.2 million as compared to $311.4 million as of fiscal year end 2023. The increase is mainly due to $9.7 million of paid in kind interest during the period and the incurrence of a new equipment finance facility in March 2024, offset by principal payments made on our various credit facilities. The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $302.1 million at September 30, 2024.

2024 Outlook

The Company updated the following operating and cash flow guidance for the 2024 fiscal year:

• Total Company Revenue of $845 million to $860 million (from $850-$900 million previously)
• Gross Margin of between $220 million and $228 million (from $235-$265 million previously)
• Adjusted EBITDA of between $53 million and $55 million (from $58-$68 million previously)
• Capital expenditures of between $9 million to $11 million (unchanged)

TEAM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

The Company uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures which are derived from the consolidated financial information, including adjusted net income (loss); adjusted net income (loss) per share; earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); Adjusted EBIT; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), free cash flow and net debt to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share to exclude the following items: non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, severance charges, non-routine write off of assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities. Consolidated Adjusted EBIT, as defined by the Company, excludes the costs excluded from adjusted net income (loss) as well as income tax expense (benefit), interest charges, foreign currency (gain) loss, pension credit, and items of other (income) expense. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA further excludes depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation costs from consolidated Adjusted EBIT. Segment Adjusted EBIT is equal to segment operating income (loss) excluding costs associated with non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, severance charges, and certain other items as determined by management. Segment Adjusted EBITDA further excludes depreciation, amortization, and non-cash share-based compensation costs from segment Adjusted EBIT. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense is defined to exclude non-routine legal costs and settlements, non-routine professional fees, severance charges, certain other items that we believe are not indicative of core operating activities and non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures. Net debt is defined as the sum of the current and long-term portions of debt, including finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, consolidated Adjusted EBIT, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance which are commonly used by industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to analyze operating performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance between periods, and measure our performance against externally communicated targets. Segment Adjusted EBIT and segment Adjusted EBITDA are also used as a basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Chief Executive Officer) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s reportable segments. Free cash flow is used by the management and investors to analyze the Company’s ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to its stakeholders.

Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Further, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies who may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. The liquidity measure of free cash flow does not represent a precise calculation of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below.
