HOUSTON, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRC Global Inc. (NYSE: MRC), the leading global distributor of pipe, valves, fittings and infrastructure products and services to diversified energy, industrial and gas utilities end-markets, today announced third quarter 2022 results.
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2022 was $18 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared to the third quarter of 2021 net loss of ($17) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2022 was $36 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, as compared to the third quarter of 2021 adjusted net income of $8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.
MRC Global’s third quarter 2022 gross profit was $165 million, or 18.3% of sales, as compared to the third quarter 2021 gross profit of $95 million, or 13.9% of sales. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 includes $24 million and $32 million, respectively, of expense in cost of sales relating to the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting. Adjusted Gross Profit, which excludes (among other items) the impact of LIFO, was $198 million, or 21.9% of sales, for the third quarter of 2022 and was $137 million, or 20.0% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2021.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Sales of $904 million, a 7% sequential increase from the second quarter of 2022 led by the gas utilities and downstream, industrial and energy transition (DIET) sectors, and a 32% improvement compared to the same quarter a year ago
- Adjusted Gross Profit, as a percentage of sales, of 21.9%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022 and an MRC Global record
- Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million, or 9.1% of sales, a company record for adjusted EBITDA margins
- Backlog of $773 million, up 4% compared to the second quarter of 2022 and up 49% compared to year end 2021
Rob Saltiel, MRC Global’s President and CEO stated, “I am very pleased with our outstanding performance this quarter with total revenue of $904 million, a 7% sequential growth, led by our two largest end-market sectors, gas utilities and DIET. Continued strong activity, coupled with cost management, resulted in new company records for both adjusted gross margin of 21.9% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.1%. Our business generated operating cash flow of $33 million in the third quarter, and we expect to achieve positive operating cash flow for the full year, which would be a major achievement given the high revenue growth we have experienced in 2022.”
“Our third quarter’s results are indicative of the solid performance of the MRC Global team and are underpinned by our resilient gas utilities business, our expanding roster of energy transition projects and our continued cost discipline. Looking forward to 2023, we expect double-digit revenue growth, higher annual EBITDA margins and strong cash flow generation,” continued Mr. Saltiel.
Adjusted EBITDA was $82 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $39 million for the same period in 2021.
Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Net Debt and Leverage Ratio are all non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of each of these measures to the nearest GAAP measure in this release.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $120 million, or 13.3% of sales, for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $102 million, or 14.9% of sales, for the same period in 2021.
An income tax expense of $10 million was incurred in the third quarter of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 29%, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2 million for the third quarter of 2021. Our rates generally differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, and differing foreign income tax rates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was higher primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses.

The company’s sales were $904 million for the third quarter of 2022, which was 7% higher than the second quarter of 2022 and 32% higher than the third quarter of 2021.

U.S. sales in the third quarter of 2022 were $768 million, up $198 million, or 35%, from the same quarter in 2021. The gas utilities sector revenue increased $86 million, or 32%, driven by increased activity levels related to our customers' integrity upgrade programs, smart meter programs and seasonal demand. DIET sector sales increased $66 million, or 46%, from increased renewable biofuel projects and additional turnaround projects and maintenance spending for refining, mining and chemical customers. Upstream production sector sales increased by $36 million, or 44%, primarily due to increased customer spending for well completions.

Canada sales in the third quarter of 2022 were $37 million, up $7 million, or 23%, from the same quarter in 2021, driven by the upstream production sector as customers increased capital budgets.
Sequentially, as compared to the prior quarter, Canada sales declined $3 million, or 8%, due to upstream production sector seasonality.
International sales in the third quarter of 2022 were $99 million, up $14 million, or 16%, from the same period in 2021 overcoming a $13 million unfavorable impact from weaker foreign currencies. The increase was driven by the DIET sector primarily in the Netherlands, U.K. and New Zealand.

Notes to above:
* Does not foot due to rounding
The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, plus inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

The company defines Adjusted Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as SG&A, less severance and restructuring expenses, employee separation costs, facility closures plus the recovery of supplier bad debt. The company presents Adjusted SG&A because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company. Among other things, Adjusted SG&A measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. The company uses Adjusted SG&A as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that SG&A is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted SG&A.

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, long-lived asset impairments (including goodwill and intangible assets), inventory-related charges incremental to normal operations, and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not account for certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company’s operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the company does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income and sales, to measure operating performance. See the company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more thorough discussion of the use of Adjusted EBITDA.

Notes to above:
The company defines Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders less after-tax goodwill and intangible impairment, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring, plus or minus the after-tax impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. After-tax impacts were determined using the Company's U.S. blended statutory rate. The company presents Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and related per share amounts because the company believes it provides useful comparisons of the company’s operating results to other companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry, without regard to the irregular variations from certain restructuring events not indicative of the on-going business. Those items include goodwill and intangible asset impairments, inventory-related charges, facility closures, severance and restructuring as well as the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company believes that Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly compared to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders.

Notes to above:
Net Debt and related leverage metrics may be considered non-GAAP measures. We define Net Debt as total long-term debt, including current portion, minus cash. We define our leverage ratio as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Net Debt is an indicator of the extent to which the company’s outstanding debt obligations could be satisfied by cash on hand and a useful metric for investors to evaluate the company’s leverage position. We believe the leverage ratio is a commonly used metric that management and investors use to assess the borrowing capacity of the company. We believe total long-term debt (including the current portion) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Net Debt.
