Mitcham Industries Reports Record Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
Q4 Revenues of $37 million and diluted EPS of $0.77
Q4 Equipment leasing revenues of $23.7 million
FY2012 Revenues of $112.8 million and diluted EPS of $2.02
HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) (the "Company") today announced record financial results for its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter and year ended January 31, 2012.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter increased 88% to $37.0 million from $19.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, and equipment leasing revenues rose 87% to $23.7 million from $12.7 million a year ago. Net income for the fourth quarter increased to $10.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Earnings per share for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter reflect the effect of 2.3 million additional shares of common stock issued in the Company's June 2011 public offering. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter increased 147% to $22.5 million, or 61% of total revenues, from $9.1 million, or 46% of total revenues, in the same period last year. EBITDA, which is not a measure determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is defined and reconciled to reported net income and cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, in the accompanying financial tables.
Bill Mitcham, the Company's President and CEO, stated, "We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter and full year performance as these results represent another record achievement for the Company in terms of total revenues, leasing revenues, net income, earnings per share and EBITDA for both the fourth quarter and full fiscal year. Our leasing revenues for the fourth quarter were $23.7 million, an 87% increase from a year ago and 36% above the previous quarter, which was also a record. For the full fiscal year, we passed the $100 million mark in total revenues for the first time and more than doubled our EBITDA from last year to $63.5 million.
"The increasing size and breadth of our lease pool, combined with our geographic expansion, higher utilization and a robust global seismic market, continue to drive excellent results. Our fourth quarter performance reflects across the board strength in the United States and several of our international markets, particularly Latin America, Europe and North Africa, as well as ongoing strong activity in our marine leasing business. Demand for land seismic rental equipment in the U.S. has picked up sequentially, mainly driven by activity in several of the shale plays. Our Seamap segment had another strong quarter, delivering one GunLink 4000, two BuoyLink RGPS systems and a considerable amount of aftermarket sales, service and repair work. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the tremendous efforts of our employees all around the world.
"Looking at the current year, we remain encouraged about what we have seen so far in fiscal 2013 as there are continuing indications of strong demand for seismic services, particularly in international markets. Current inquiry and order activity lead us to believe that the fundamental trends we saw in fiscal 2012 will continue in fiscal 2013. We have had a good winter season in Russia and Canada. Essentially all of our land recording channels have been committed during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as was the case in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, indicating good utilization of our lease pool. The seismic industry continues to be driven by the need for greater image resolution, which requires higher density and higher channel count. We also expect Seamap to have an excellent year in fiscal 2013. We head into the year with a strong order book at Seamap, driven by growing demand for our GunLink and BuoyLink products as contractors seek to expand capabilities and upgrade equipment and technology."
FISCAL 2012 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Total revenues for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter increased 88% to $37.0 million from $19.7 million a year ago, driven by extremely strong equipment leasing revenues and another excellent quarter at Seamap. A significant portion of the Company's revenues are typically generated from sources outside the United States, and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the percentage of revenues from international customers was approximately 72% compared to 81% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Equipment leasing revenues, excluding equipment sales, increased 87% to $23.7 million compared to $12.7 million in the same period a year ago, primarily due to strength in U.S. and Latin American land, increased activity levels in Europe and North Africa, as well as ongoing strength in marine leasing. Also contributing to positive fourth quarter results were operations in Russia and Canada as the winter season began late in the fourth quarter.
Lease pool equipment sales were $3.4 million compared to $972,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago. Sales of new seismic, hydrographic and oceanographic equipment were $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million in the same period a year ago.
Seamap equipment sales for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter increased 78% to $7.3 million from $4.1 million in the same period a year ago. This year's quarter included the sale of one GunLink 4000 system and two BuoyLink RGPS systems in conjunction with significant after-market sales, comprised of replacement parts and ongoing service and repair work.
Lease pool depreciation in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter was $7.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period a year ago, representing a 27% increase. This increase resulted from additions made to the Company's lease pool during fiscal years 2012 and 2011, which totaled approximately $68 million and $31 million, respectively.
Gross profit in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter increased 135% to $21.3 million from $9.1 million in the same period a year ago, largely due to substantially higher revenues and despite higher depreciation expense. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 increased to 57% from 46% in the same period a year ago. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $6.0 million compared to $4.5 million in the same period a year ago. Operating income rose to $14.6 million, or 39% of revenues, from $3.3 million, or 17% of revenues in the same period a year ago.
FULL YEAR FISCAL 2012 RESULTS
Total revenues for fiscal 2012 increased 58% to $112.8 million compared to $71.4 million in fiscal 2011. Equipment leasing revenues increased 90% to $70.1 million compared to $36.8 million in fiscal 2011. Lease pool equipment sales for fiscal 2012 were $6.5 million compared to $2.5 million last year. Sales of new seismic, hydrographic and oceanographic equipment for fiscal 2012 were $7.8 million compared to $10.7 million in fiscal 2011. Seamap equipment sales for fiscal 2012 increased 33% to $28.4 million from $21.3 million in fiscal 2011.
Operating income for fiscal 2012 was $34.5 million, or 31% of revenues, compared to $6.9 million, or 9.7% of revenues, in fiscal 2011. Net income was $24.3 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in fiscal 2011. Fiscal 2012 EBITDA increased 121% to $63.5 million, or 56% of total revenues, from $28.7 million, or 40% of total revenues, in fiscal 2011. EBITDA, which is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, is defined and reconciled to reported net income and cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, in the accompanying financial tables.
