HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. ("Helix") (NYSE: HLX) reported a net loss¹ of $19.0 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the third quarter 2021 compared to a net loss of $13.7 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2021 and net income of $24.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2020. Helix reported Adjusted EBITDA² of $26.5 million for the third quarter 2021 compared to $24.8 million for the second quarter 2021 and $52.7 million for the third quarter 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Helix reported a net loss of $35.6 million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $87.5 million compared to $120.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The table below summarizes our results of operations:

Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix, stated, "Our third quarter operating results held steady, benefitting from the seasonally stronger summer activity in the North Sea and continued renewables site clearance activity. During the quarter, we reduced our debt with the repayment of our Term Loan and executed with our bank group a new long-term revolving credit facility that we expect will provide us working capital liquidity and manageable financial covenants. Also during the quarter, we achieved zero net debt and ended the quarter in a negative net debt position. With our vessels primarily in the spot market with limited visibility, we expect to maintain minimal net financial leverage in the near term as we prepare for increasing activity offshore. The recent strengthening in oil prices is a promising sign, but its impact on our operations has lagged, particularly in the North Sea. As the macro environment and energy sector continue to improve and stabilize, we anticipate seeing benefits mid-2022 and beyond."

Segment Results

Well Intervention

Well Intervention revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 1%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower utilization in Brazil and lower rates in West Africa during the third quarter 2021, offset in part by higher utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. Our third quarter revenues were negatively impacted by the completion of our long-term contract in Brazil on the Siem Helix 1 in August, which subsequently commenced its regulatory dry dock during the quarter. Overall Well Intervention vessel utilization remained flat at 72% in the second and third quarters 2021. Well Intervention net loss from operations increased to $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $6.7 million in the previous quarter. The increased loss was due to lower revenues in Brazil combined with higher variable costs associated with our increased activity in the Gulf of Mexico during the third quarter.

Well Intervention revenues decreased $9.5 million, or 7%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower rates and vessel utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, offset in part by higher utilization in the North Sea and West Africa during the third quarter 2021. Our third quarter 2021 rates and utilization in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil were negatively impacted by the completion of our long-term contracts on the Q5000 during the second quarter 2021 and the Siem Helix 1 during the third quarter 2021. Our third quarter 2021 utilization in the North Sea and West Africa benefitted from utilization on the Seawell and the Q7000, both of which were stacked during the third quarter 2020. Well Intervention vessel utilization was 72% in the third quarter 2021 compared to 68% in the third quarter 2020. Well Intervention incurred a net loss from operations of $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to operating income of $18.8 million in the third quarter 2020. The decrease was due to lower segment revenues as well as higher costs associated with our resumed activity in West Africa.

Robotics

Robotics revenues increased $11.0 million, or 35%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter. The seasonally higher revenues were driven by increased vessel days and ROV activity during the third quarter. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 included 77 spot vessel days performing ROV support work for a telecom project offshore Guyana, and 99 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work compared to 61 spot vessel days on the seabed clearance work during the second quarter 2021. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 99% in the third quarter 2021, which included 358 total vessel days, compared to 93% in the second quarter 2021, which included 236 total vessel days. ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization increased to 43% in the third quarter 2021 from 36% in the previous quarter, and trenching days in the third quarter 2021 increased to 90 days compared to 84 days in the previous quarter. Robotics operating income increased $4.7 million during the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter due to higher revenues, offset in part by higher operating costs associated with increased spot vessel days quarter over quarter.

Robotics revenues decreased $7.2 million, or 14%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020. The decrease in revenues year over year was due to fewer vessel days as well as a reduction in trenching activity compared to the third quarter 2020. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 decreased to 358 compared to 450 during the third quarter 2020, with fewer days working seabed clearance. Vessel days during the third quarter 2021 included 77 spot vessel days performing ROV support work for a telecom project offshore Guyana and 99 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work , compared to 196 spot vessel days performing seabed clearance work and 95 spot vessel days performing other projects during the third quarter 2020. Chartered vessel utilization increased to 99% during the third quarter 2021 compared to 95% during the third quarter 2020. Total ROV, trencher and ROVDrill utilization was 43% in the third quarter 2021 compared to 37% in the third quarter 2020, with 90 trenching days in the third quarter 2021 compared to 154 days in the third quarter 2020. Robotics income from operations declined $2.0 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020 due to lower revenues year over year.

Production Facilities

Production Facilities revenues increased $4.3 million, or 31%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the previous quarter primarily due to higher oil and gas production and prices during the third quarter 2021. Production Facilities revenues increased $4.4 million, or 31%, in the third quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2020 due to higher oil and gas production and prices and higher revenues from the HFRS during the third quarter 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.3 million, or 7.4% of revenue, in the third quarter 2021 compared to $13.4 million, or 8.3% of revenue, in the previous quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Other expense, net was $4.0 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to other income, net of $1.0 million in the previous quarter. Other expense, net includes unrealized foreign currency losses related to the British pound, which weakened approximately 3% during the third quarter 2021.

Cash Flows

Operating cash flows were $28.7 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $52.7 million in the previous quarter and $52.6 million in the third quarter 2020. The decrease in operating cash flows quarter over quarter was primarily due to increases working capital outflows, offset in part by tax refunds of $12.4 million related to the CARES Act received during the third quarter 2021. The decrease in operating cash flows year over year was due to lower earnings, offset in part by working capital inflows, which include the tax refund related to the CARES Act received during the third quarter 2021.

Capital expenditures totaled $0.6 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $5.4 million in the previous quarter and $1.6 million in the third quarter 2020. Free cash flow was $28.1 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $47.2 million in the previous quarter and $51.4 million in the third quarter 2020. The decreases in free cash flow quarter over quarter and year over year were due primarily to lower operating cash flows in the third quarter 2021. (Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See reconciliation below.)

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents were $237.5 million at September 30, 2021 and excluded $71.3 million of restricted cash pledged as collateral on a short-term project-related letter of credit. During the third quarter 2021, we terminated our previous credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire December 31, 2021, and entered into an $80.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”). Available capacity under our ABL facility was $69.6 million at September 30, 2021. Long-term debt decreased to $304.5 million at September 30, 2021 from $335.7 million at June 30, 2021 following our repayment of the term loan associated with our previous credit agreement. Negative net debt at September 30, 2021 was $4.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management evaluates performance and financial condition using certain non-GAAP measures, primarily EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt to book capitalization and free cash flow. We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, gain or loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, net other income or expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-cash impairment losses on goodwill and other long-lived assets and gains and losses on equity investments are also added back if applicable. To arrive at our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the gain or loss on disposition of assets and the general provision (release) for current expected credit losses, if any. In addition, we include realized losses from foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, which are excluded from EBITDA as a component of net other income or expense. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt including current maturities of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Net debt to book capitalization is calculated by dividing net debt by the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of assets.

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future investments and acquisitions, to plan and evaluate operating budgets, and in certain cases, to report our results to the holders of our debt as required by our debt covenants. We believe that our measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provide useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow differently from the way we do, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead are supplemental to, income from operations, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

MOORESVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In light of the recent state law signed into effect by California Governor Newsom banning the sale of gas-powered outdoor power equipment, Greenworks Commercial, the leading provider of battery-operated outdoor power equipment, is helping landscape businesses transition to clean alternatives.

Greenworks Commercial is the only brand with a full line of commercial-grade, 100% battery-powered outdoor power equipment that can replace every gas-powered tool landscapers need. Not only does it have a depth of product offerings, but Greenworks Commercial lithium-ion-powered equipment provides the power, performance and runtime demanded of gas-powered tools without the noise, hassle or harmful emissions.

“With the new law banning gas sales starting in 2024, it’s important for landscapers to be ahead of the curve,” said Tony Marchese, Greenworks Commercial Vice President of Sales and Operations. “Taking advantage of California’s $30 million incentive fund, we can help commercial landscapers transition easily and cost effectively.”

Several recent studies have concluded gas-powered equipment with small off-road engines produces a similar amount of smog-causing pollution as passenger cars, which is one reason law makers are curbing emissions. A study from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) found using a gas-powered leaf blower for one hour causes the same amount of pollution to be emitted as a 2017 Toyota Camry driving 1,100 miles, and running a gas lawnmower for one hour is the equivalent of driving 300 miles.

The new law is also motivated by a concern for landscape workers’ health, as gas-powered small engines have been proven to increase the risk of asthma and other health concerns.

Greenworks Commercial tools have zero emissions and zero exhaust, recyclable batteries and are extremely quiet for reduced noise pollution. Its products are the safest, most environmentally responsible tools available in the outdoor power equipment industry, and its team is well equipped to help landscape professionals transition from gas-powered equipment to battery.

About Greenworks Commercial

Since 2002, Greenworks has been manufacturing rugged, powerful tools with superior brushless motor technology and advanced lithium-ion battery power. Greenworks Commercial sets the standard for commercial-grade, battery-powered outdoor equipment as the only brand exclusively focused on the design and manufacturing of battery-powered products entirely.

Market leader’s data science innovations yield highly accurate ETAs for 100% of ocean shipments, along with powerful new tools to mitigate detention and demurrage risk

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FourKites^®, the world’s leading real-time supply chain visibility platform, today introduced Dynamic ETA^® for Ocean, a new AI-powered innovation as part of its Dynamic Ocean^SM offering. The new enhancement provides shippers, carriers and 3PLs with the market’s most accurate estimated times of arrival (ETAs) for 100% of their ocean shipments across all lanes worldwide. In addition, the company has rolled out new capabilities for monitoring and mitigating demurrage and detention risks. With these new enhancements, FourKites now provides the most advanced and robust solution on the market for real-time and predictive ocean visibility, exception management and cost controls.

These powerful new tools were designed in direct response to the ongoing disruptions in ocean shipping that have delayed shipments, causing fees and related expenses to soar. Port congestion, vessel delays, and incorrect or incomplete documentation are common challenges for ocean shippers during normal times; the global container shortage, port shutdowns, natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent incidents have exacerbated these issues and caused an accumulation of demurrage and detention fees that are reaching thousands of dollars per container per day — and which can rise into millions of dollars in annual transportation costs for shippers.

FourKites’ new Dynamic ETA for Ocean provides real-time, automated and predictive ETAs that are 20% to 40% more accurate than carrier-generated ETAs. This new AI-driven capability is based on FourKites’ patented Smart Forecasted Arrival technology, and brings together voyage and routing data and captain data, alongside more than 5TB of historical Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel data and 6 million port-to-port trips across 100,000 lanes worldwide over the last two years.

“FourKites’ automated reporting and tracking for ocean shipments provides more accurate and real-time data,” said Bob Hayes, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Canfor. “This allows Canfor to respond to customer inquiries quicker and with up-to-date information on our upcoming shipments that would have otherwise had to be manually tracked.”

FourKites has also introduced a suite of new demurrage and detention tools that provide customers with an early warning solution and actionable insights, replacing the manual and/or spreadsheet-driven approaches used by most shippers. These tools include:

• Exception Dashboards that monitor the containers that are (or likely will) incur detention and demurrage fees, and provide real-time rerouting alerts and dwell time notifications for all ocean shipments. Customers can prioritize containers that are currently accumulating fees or that are at risk of incurring penalties, and estimate the costs that are being incurred to minimize transportation fees.
• Notifications and Alerts for containers that are (or soon will be) incurring demurrage and detention fees, giving customers the ability to minimize their impact on transportation costs and proactively manage customer satisfaction.
• Analytics Dashboards that provide performance trends by lane, carrier, stop and other areas, so customers can identify systemic problems, improve strategic decision-making, and minimize detention and demurrage costs.

“Ocean shipping is an indispensable mode of transport that comes with a great deal of uncertainty and risk,” said Chris Stauber, Vice President of Product - Ocean/Air at FourKites. “Today’s release of the industry’s most accurate predictive ETAs for ocean freight, together with our new monitoring and management tools for detention and demurrage, gives shippers the powerful capabilities they need to effectively manage and mitigate rising transportation costs during a time of constant upheaval.”

As ongoing disruption continues to impact global supply chains, FourKites has seen unprecedented growth in its ocean visibility platform. Over the last 12 months, FourKites has seen 450% growth in ocean loads tracked, and 40% growth quarter over quarter. Since launching Dynamic Ocean in April 2021, which covers 98% of global ocean shipments, 100% of terminals in North America and the majority of terminals in Europe, FourKites has seen a 50% increase in ocean visibility customers, including Yara International, International Forest Products and Zebra Technologies.

About FourKites

FourKites^® is a leading global supply chain visibility platform, extending visibility beyond transportation into yards, warehouses, stores and beyond. Tracking more than 2 million shipments daily across road, rail, ocean, air, parcel and courier, and reaching 176 countries, FourKites combines real-time data and powerful machine learning to help companies digitize their end-to-end supply chains.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Total Telecom attended Huawei’s Better World Summit (BWS) for Green ICT for Green development in Dubai in United Arab Emirates (UAE), found out that the ICT industry, which is a backbone of the modern-day global economy, must adopt green and energy-efficient practices and products and take the lead in correcting the course of the climate change crisis.

Huawei is at the forefront to reduce our new carbon emissions and has taken several initiatives to bring down its own carbon emissions. "With our innovative products and solutions, we want to work with customers and industry partners to jointly define industry standards, and help operators better measure and manage their carbon reduction roadmaps," says Bob Cai, Chief Marketing Officer at Carrier Business Group, while opening the Summit.

The company is not just taking measures to reduce its carbon emissions but is also pursuing innovations to make telecom networks more sustainable and energy-efficient. Cai further elaborated that the ICT industry has to maintain a balance between development and lowering carbon emissions to better manage and measure carbon reduction roadmaps.

Several speakers highlighted the role of 5G in bringing down carbon emissions. "5G is significantly greener technology compared with previous standards besides emerging as a revenue generator. It has already been deployed in 176 countries providing ultra-high-speed broadband to around 500 million subscribers. In China, it helped the operators achieve 11.2% in profit," says Jiang of Huawei.

Several senior industry leaders from different segments of the industry participated in the event to highlight the efforts made and the strategy adopted by them to reduce carbon emissions and reach the target of net-zero.

Addressing the problem of climate change demands close collaboration between all the stakeholders, including the vendors, service providers, and industry bodies, the event provided a perfect opportunity to the ecosystem players to discuss different strategies to bring down the carbon emissions for a more sustainable world.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Digital Services in Pumps Growth Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In this study, three digital solutions, maintenance-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and efficiency-as-a-service are identified and analyzed. The future of pump OEMs and other value-chain participants is expected to be influenced by IIoT 2.0. IIoT 2.0, an untapped area that is yet to be explored, and offers a plethora of growth opportunities for OEMs to distinguish and cement their market position.

Digital transformation is forming a core part of organization strategy across industry verticals to survive economic headwinds, adapt to dynamic market conditions, and remain relevant in an increasingly competitive global environment. A global pandemic, oil price volatility, political tensions, and climate action have further accelerated the need to invest and integrate into Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies.

End users' pressing need to cut down total expenditure (TOTEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) to navigate through these uncertain economic conditions and at the same time increase productivity of existing plants to meet global demand have bolstered the demand for digital services. Real-time visibility of equipment operations and actionable insights derived from AI-powered analytics platforms are imperative for end-users to ensure continued production without any interruption and transition toward predictive maintenance.

In this digital services playbook, new growth avenues with IIoT technologies are identified and analyzed. IIoT 1.0, which includes connected components, connected machines, connected plant, and connected enterprises, is gaining traction with growing interest from end-users across process, discrete, and hybrid industries. An assessment of the adoption rate, impact level, and growth propensity is covered in this research.

Yet another disruption identified is the transition from IIoT 1.0 to the IIoT 2.0 digital solution. IIoT 2.0 refers to the shift in a business model that delivers IIoT-based products and services with a unique pay-per-performance concept, where customers pay based on the outcome achieved.

As the shift to IIoT 2.0 is bound to transpire in the long run, this study provides insights on the key growth drivers offered by capitalizing on this new range of digital solutions. This research also discussed the roadblocks that prevent IIoT 2.0 implementation in the short, medium, and long term. An overview of the end-user perception toward IIoT-based digital solutions is offered to gauge end-user preferences, expectations, and the current IIoT solutions adopted in plants.

In addition, a list of digital practitioners is identified and mapped to the various IIoT 1.0 digital solutions covered in this research scope. This offers a pulse on the various leading solution providers, competitive overview, and market gaps that need to be addressed.

Furthermore, an overview of new IIoT 2.0 digital solutions is offered to understand their unique value proposition, key features, and benefits achieved. The study also identifies and assesses 7 lucrative growth opportunities based on IIoT 2.0 digital solutions that pump OEMs and other vendors can monetize to unlock new revenue streams.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) today provided a brief operational update.

In August 2021, Matador began operating a fifth operated drilling rig on behalf of its midstream affiliate, San Mateo Midstream, LLC (“San Mateo”), for the purpose of drilling an additional salt water disposal well in the Company’s Greater Stebbins Area in Eddy County, New Mexico. This new salt water disposal well and the associated facilities are needed and expected to handle additional produced water volumes anticipated as a result of Matador’s increased drilling and completions activity in the Greater Stebbins Area during 2021. Matador expects to turn to sales nine wells in this area during the fourth quarter of 2021 as previously disclosed.

The anticipated drilling and completion of this new salt water disposal well was included as part of San Mateo’s 2021 capital expenditures budget as originally provided by the Company on February 23, 2021 and subsequently updated on July 27, 2021. Drilling operations on this salt water disposal well were completed in late September 2021, and this well is currently undergoing completion operations.

Matador’s portion of San Mateo’s capital expenditures was approximately $15 million for the third quarter of 2021, including the drilling costs associated with this new salt water disposal well, approximately 6% below the Company’s estimate of $16 million for the third quarter.

Matador contracted this fifth operated drilling rig for a term of six months. As a result, in early October 2021, following the conclusion of drilling operations on the salt water disposal well, Matador moved this rig to its Rodney Robinson leasehold in the western portion of the Antelope Ridge asset area in Lea County, New Mexico. Matador is currently running two rigs on its Rodney Robinson leasehold and expects to drill nine new wells there during the fourth quarter of 2021. These nine Rodney Robinson wells are anticipated to be completed in January and February 2022 and turned to sales before the end of the first quarter of 2022. By electing to use this additional drilling rig on its Rodney Robinson leasehold, Matador expects to be able to drill and complete all nine wells prior to any disruption of such operations beginning in early March 2022 attributable to regulatory restrictions associated with the mating season of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, as is customary in this area of New Mexico.

Matador incurred capital expenditures for drilling, completing and equipping wells (“D/C/E capital expenditures”) of approximately $121 million, approximately 14% below the Company’s estimate of $140 million for D/C/E capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2021. Matador estimates that approximately $5 to $6 million of these savings were directly attributable to its continued improvement in operational efficiencies resulting in lower-than-expected drilling and completion costs in the Delaware Basin. The remainder of these cost savings resulted primarily from the timing of both operated and non-operated drilling and completion activities, and most of these costs are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of achieving these additional cost savings in the third quarter of 2021, Matador does not anticipate any change to the midpoint of its full-year 2021 guidance for D/C/E capital expenditures, despite operating this additional drilling rig during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Matador looks forward to providing additional details regarding its third quarter 2021 operational and financial results when it issues its third quarter earnings release after the market close on Tuesday afternoon, October 26, 2021.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$LGO #VRFB--Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX:LGO) (NASDAQ:LGO) announces quarterly production of 3,260 tonnes (7.1 million lbs¹) of vanadium pentoxide (“V₂O₅”) and sales of 2,685 tonnes of V₂O₅ equivalent from its Maracás Menchen Mine in Q3 2021.

Paulo Misk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Largo, stated: “The Company remains well positioned to continue making headway on the suite of value-add projects in our pipeline. This quarter we received a NTP on our first battery sales contract with Enel and are progressing on schedule with the build out of LCE’s product development and stack manufacturing facility in Massachusetts with an expected annual capacity of 1.4 GWh. We look forward to a strong finish to the year and remain fully committed to driving the world’s transition to a low-carbon future through innovative energy storage solutions powered by our responsibly produced vanadium.” He continued: “On the operational front, our performance improved in Q3 2021 as highlighted by a 5% increase in production over Q3 2020 and a 6% increase over Q2 2021. The strong production performance during the quarter was largely driven by increased throughput and improved recoveries following the completion of the Company’s expansion project in Q2 2021. Despite improved production results and steady vanadium demand in all regions, the Company experienced logistical challenges which resulted in lower sales for the quarter.”

A summary of the Company’s Q3 2021 production and sales results is presented below:

Corporate Highlights

• DOE Selects LCE for Energy Storage Development Funding: On September 23, 2021, the United States DOE announced funding for research and development projects to scale up American manufacturing of flow battery and long duration storage systems. LCE is expected to receive $4.2 million of this funding to develop and demonstrate highly efficient manufacturing processes for affordable, grid-scale flow batteries. The receipt of funds is subject to the completion of the award negotiation of with the DOE and the negotiation is scheduled to be completed within 60 days of the date of announcement. The DOE’s funding will help provide the materials needed to expand the grid with new, clean energy sources, deliver affordable electricity to disadvantaged communities, and help reach the Biden Administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
• Manufacturing Strategy and VCHARGE± Certification Progressing on Schedule: The buildout of LCE’s product development and stack manufacturing facility in Massachusetts is proceeding on schedule with substantial completion expected in Q1 2022. The Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) certification of the VCHARGE± system is on schedule for completion in Q4 2021 and LCE expects to proceed and obtain Conformité Européenne (“CE”) certification by Q2 2022. CE certification is the European parallel to UL certification.
• Strong Vanadium Production from Maracás: Production from the Maracás Menchen Mine was 3,260 tonnes of V₂O₅ in Q3 2021, representing a 5% increase over Q3 2020 and the second-best quarter of production since commencement of operations. V₂O₅ production was 1,068 tonnes in July, with 1,101 tonnes being produced in August and 1,091 tonnes in September. Increased quarter-over-quarter production was largely due to higher throughput and increased global recoveries³ following the completion of the Company’s expansion project in Q2 2021. The Company achieved an excellent global recovery³ of 83.7% in Q3 2021, being 1% lower than Q3 2020 but 5% higher than the 79.9% achieved in Q2 2021. The Company also produced 113,879 tonnes of concentrate ore with an average V₂O₅ grade of 3.32% in Q3 2021 compared to 104,921 tonnes in Q3 2020 with an average V₂O₅ grade of 3.32%.
• Lower Vanadium Sales Driven by Logistical Delays: The Company continues to actively manage its operations to provide premium products and service to its customers. Increased delays and global logistical challenges have impacted all aspects of the Company’s supply chain resulting in lower V₂O₅ equivalent sales of 2,685 tonnes in Q3 2021. Diligent planning and a comprehensive sales strategy have allowed the Company to deliver on all its commercial commitments up to this point. The Company does not expect the global logistics situation to improve until mid-2022 following increased port equipment availability, at which point the Company expects to reduce its in-transit inventory.
• Vanadium Market Demand Remains Steady: Demand in all of the Company’s key markets remained strong in Q3 2021 highlighted by a quarterly increase of 76% in the European FMB V₂O₅ price. However, lower activity in the steel related spot market and a general worsening of sentiment in the steel industrial complex following the significant drop in the iron ore price has recently led to some negative pressure on global vanadium prices. Aerospace industry demand continues to recover slowly but remains significantly below pre-COVID demand levels. The Company expects a gradual recovery in vanadium demand from this market over the next two to four years. Largo maintains a strong focus on developing new markets for its high purity vanadium products supported by the addition of vanadium trioxide (“V₂O₃”) to its product range. The Company continues with the commissioning of its V₂O₃ plant and expects to conclude this work in Q4 2021.

Revised 2021 Production and Sales Guidance

The Company’s full-year V₂O₅ equivalent production and sales guidance has been lowered to the range of 11,400 and 11,800 tonnes and 11,200 and 11,800 tonnes, respectively. These adjustments have been made to reflect the Company’s operational performance to date and account for the global logistical challenges expected for the remainder of the year. The Company expects to exit the year with a solid quarter of production and sales results in Q4 2021.

• Subsea inbound orders of $1.1 billion in the quarter, $3.9 billion for first nine months
• Cash flow from operations of $135.9 million; free cash flow of $88.6 million
• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.0 billion; net debt reduced by $401 million

NEWCASTLE & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechnipFMC plc (NYSE: FTI) (Paris: FTI) today reported third quarter 2021 results.

Summary Financial Results from Continuing Operations
Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in financial schedules.

Total Company revenue in the third quarter was $1,579.4 million. Loss from continuing operations attributable to TechnipFMC was $40.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. These results included after-tax charges and (credits) totaling $15.6 million of expense, or $0.03 per share, which included the following (Exhibit 6):

• Impairment and other charges of $38 million;
• Restructuring and other charges of $6.1 million; and
• Income from equity investment in Technip Energies of ($28.5) million.

Adjusted loss from continuing operations was $25 million, or $0.06 per diluted share (Exhibit 6). Included in adjusted loss from continuing operations was a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $16 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes pre-tax charges and credits, was $140.6 million; adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.9 percent (Exhibit 8). Included in adjusted EBITDA was a foreign exchange loss of $6.2 million.

Doug Pferdehirt, Chairman and CEO of TechnipFMC, stated, “Third quarter results reflect continued strength in operational performance and further support our confidence in achieving full-year financial guidance. We also made progress on our commitments to strengthen our balance sheet and exit our ownership in Technip Energies. With the completion of our most recent sale, we have now sold just over 75% of our original stake in Technip Energies, a portion of which was used to reduce our outstanding debt by $185 million in the quarter.”

Pferdehirt added, “In Subsea, inbound orders were $1.1 billion, bringing the year-to-date segment total to $3.9 billion. The strength of our inbound was driven by direct awards, subsea services, alliance partners and several long-term vessel charters. We continue to forecast order growth through 2022, which is supported by the fourth consecutive quarter of increased project value in our Subsea Opportunity list.”

“In Surface Technologies, inbound orders were $250 million for the quarter. We expect a significant increase in international order activity in the fourth quarter, driven by several multi-year awards.”

Pferdehirt continued, “Subsea inbound growth throughout 2021 partly reflects the momentum we are seeing in Brazil – an important region for TechnipFMC where we have been present for over five decades. During the quarter, we signed three long-term vessel charter contracts with Petrobras. These awards are a leading indicator of the strong demand for flexible pipe in the Brazilian market, where we believe volumes will exceed 700 kilometers per annum over the next three years.”

“In 2018, we created a strategic alliance and made a minority investment in Magma Global, a leader in advanced composite technologies. With the ongoing success of this technology alliance, we were pleased to announce we acquired the remaining 75% interest in Magma Global earlier this month. By combining their proprietary technologies with our flexible pipe, we are advancing the development and qualification of a hybrid flexible pipe solution for use in the Brazilian pre-salt fields.”

Pferdehirt added, “We were also pleased to announce a long-term strategic alliance with Talos Energy to develop and deliver solutions for carbon capture and storage, or CCS. The alliance is an important step for both companies, combining Talos’s offshore operational strength and sub-surface expertise with our long history in subsea engineering, system integration and automation and control. Additionally, we believe that composite technologies from Magma will be a critical enabler to the carbon transportation system. Cultivated through a shared vision to responsibly deliver CCS solutions that will help to reduce the global carbon footprint, this innovative partnership will accelerate offshore CCS adoption with reliable, specialized systems. This type of collaboration, innovation and integration will position TechnipFMC to be a leading provider in carbon transportation and storage.”

Pferdehirt concluded, “Our results reflect a continuation of the strong operational performance that we demonstrated over the first half of the year. Subsea orders have nearly matched the $4 billion inbound in all of 2020, and we remain on track to achieve solid double-digit growth. The acquisition of Magma and our strategic alliance with Talos Energy serve as tangible progress and further demonstrate the impactful role we will play in the energy transition.”

Operational and Financial Highlights

Subsea

Financial Highlights

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in financial schedules.

Subsea reported third quarter revenue of $1,312.1 million, a decrease of 5.9 percent from the second quarter. Revenue decreased sequentially driven by lower activity in the North Sea and Asia.

Subsea reported an operating profit of $23.5 million. Sequentially, operating results decreased due to higher impairment and other charges and lower revenue. During the quarter, the Company recorded a $36.7 million non-cash impairment to its previous investment in Magma Global, reflecting the purchase price paid for the remaining stake subsequent to the quarter.

Subsea reported adjusted EBITDA of $146.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4.9 percent when compared to the second quarter, due to lower revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 10 basis points to 11.2 percent.

Subsea inbound orders were $1,116 million for the quarter. Book-to-bill in the period was 0.9.

The following awards were included in the period:

• TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea awarded long-term charter contracts by Petrobras (Brazil)
  TechnipFMC and its joint venture partner DOF Subsea awarded significant* long-term charter and services contracts by Petrobras for the pipelay support vessels Skandi Vitória and Skandi Niteroi. The Brazilian-built and flagged vessels are owned by DOFCON Navegação Ltda, a 50/50 JV between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea. Each contract is for three years, with an option to extend.

  Together, Loke and TechnipFMC are developing a patent-pending, autonomous subsea production system that aims to have minimal impact on the environment and positions the company well for potential offshore licensing on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) and internationally.

• Acquisition of Magma Global to Accelerate Development of Breakthrough Composite Pipe Technologies for Conventional Energy and CO₂ Applications
  Subsequent to the third quarter, TechnipFMC completed the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Magma Global (Magma), the leading provider of composite pipe technology to support the Energy Transition.
  
  TechnipFMC originally acquired an interest in Magma in 2018, combining its strong history in flexible pipe technology with Magma’s advanced composite capabilities to develop a disruptive composite pipe solution for the traditional and new energy industries.
  
  Magma’s technology enables the manufacture of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) using Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) polymer, which is highly resistive to corrosive compounds, such as CO₂. When combined with TechnipFMC’s flexible pipe technology, this forms a Hybrid Flexible Pipe (HFP) that will be deployed in the Brazilian pre-salt fields.
  
  Manufactured by a fully automated robotic system, PEEK TCP will also be a critical enabler for both the carbon and hydrogen transportation and storage markets, and particularly offshore applications.

• Strategic Alliance with Talos Energy to Provide Carbon Capture and Storage
  Subsequent to the third quarter, TechnipFMC and Talos Energy entered into a long-term strategic alliance to develop and deliver technical and commercial solutions to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects along the United States Gulf Coast. The alliance combines Talos’s offshore operational strength and sub-surface expertise with TechnipFMC’s extended history in subsea engineering, system integration and automation and control.
  
  Cultivated through a shared vision to responsibly deliver CCS solutions that will help to reduce the global carbon footprint, this innovative partnership will accelerate offshore CCS adoption with reliable, specialized systems.
  
  Under the alliance, the companies will collaborate to progress CCS opportunities through the full lifecycle of storage site characterization, front-end engineering and design (FEED), and first injection through life of field operations. This further advances the companies’ leadership in the emerging Gulf Coast CCS market, building on Talos’s recent successful award as the operator of the only major offshore carbon sequestration hub in the United States.

Surface Technologies

Financial Highlights

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are provided in financial schedules.

Surface Technologies reported third quarter revenue of $267.3 million, a decrease of 2.6 percent from the second quarter. Revenue decreased sequentially primarily due to the timing of large, multi-year international awards, partially offset by increased revenue in North America. The continued growth in North America was driven by higher drilling and completion activity.

Surface Technologies reported operating profit of $12.1 million. Sequentially, operating profit decreased primarily due to lower revenue.

Surface Technologies reported adjusted EBITDA of $28.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6 percent when compared to the second quarter, primarily driven by lower revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 40 basis points to 10.6 percent.

Inbound orders for the quarter were $249.9 million, a decrease of 6.8 percent sequentially. Book-to-bill was 0.9 in the period. We expect a significant increase in international order activity in the fourth quarter, driven by several multi-year awards.

Backlog ended the period at $341 million. Given the short-cycle nature of the business, orders are generally converted into revenue within twelve months.

Corporate and Other Items (three months ended, September 30, 2021)

Corporate expense was $29.3 million.

Foreign exchange loss was $6.2 million.

Net interest expense was $39.3 million.

The provision for income taxes was $12.3 million.

Total depreciation and amortization was $96.5 million.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $135.9 million. Capital expenditures were $47.3 million. Free cash flow from continuing operations was $88.6 million (Exhibit 11).

The Company ended the period with cash and cash equivalents of $1,034 million; net debt was $1,221.8 million. Net debt declined $401.2 million from the second quarter due in part to a tender offer in September from which we purchased $164.1 million of 6.5% senior notes due 2026. Upon completion of the tender offer in October, we purchased an additional $2.8 million of the outstanding notes (Exhibit 10).

Investment in Technip Energies

The Company completed the partial spin-off of Technip Energies on February 16, 2021. Financial results for Technip Energies are reported as discontinued operations. The Company’s investment in Technip Energies is reflected in current assets at market value.

On July 29, 2021, the Company sold 16 million shares from its retained stake in Technip Energies for gross proceeds of $213.1 million.

On September 3, 2021, the Company announced the sale of 17.6 million shares of its retained stake in Technip Energies to HAL Holding, N.V. (HAL) for gross proceeds of approximately $230 million. The HAL sale was completed in two tranches. The first tranche of 8.6 million shares was sold and settled in September for gross proceeds of $114.4 million. The second tranche of 9.0 million shares was sold in September and is expected to settle before the end of October for gross proceeds of approximately $115 million.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s ownership stake was 30.9 million shares, or approximately 17.2% of Technip Energies’ issued and outstanding share capital. Following the completion of the sale of the second tranche to HAL, the Company retains a direct stake of 21.9 million shares, representing 12.3% of Technip Energies’ issued and outstanding share capital.

The Company recognized a gain in the third quarter of $28.5 million from its equity ownership in Technip Energies. The gain was primarily related to the change in market value in the period.

Additional items

During the quarter, the Company acquired the remaining 49% interest in TIOS AS, a joint venture between the Company and Island Offshore Management AS, for cash consideration of $48.7 million.

In 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Magma Global Ltd. (“Magma Global”) to develop a new generation of hybrid flexible pipe for use in offshore applications. As part of the collaboration, we purchased a 25% ownership stake in Magma Global. In October 2021, we purchased the remaining 75% ownership stake for $64 million. The cash consideration will be paid to the shareholders of Magma Global in three installments.

2021 Full-Year Financial Guidance¹

The Company’s full-year guidance for 2021 can be found in the table below. No updates were made to the previous guidance that was issued on July 21, 2021.

All segment guidance assumes no further material degradation from COVID-19-related impacts. Guidance is based on continuing operations and thus excludes the impact of Technip Energies, which is reported as discontinued operations.

¹ Our guidance measures adjusted EBITDA margin, corporate expense, net, net interest expense and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because of the unpredictability of the individual components of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and the variability of items excluded from each such measure. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

BETHESDA, Md. & CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Bioenergy--Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (“Enviva”) and GreenGasUSA, an integrated renewable natural gas (RNG) solutions provider, announced today a 10-year RNG offtake agreement to decarbonize natural gas-related emissions in Enviva’s operations. The agreement is expected to eliminate more than 64,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent from the atmosphere every year, which equates to 14,000 passenger cars being removed from the road.

Enviva’s commitment underwrites a stand-alone GreenGasUSA project to install equipment that captures and treats methane currently being released directly into the atmosphere at a food processing facility in rural South Carolina. As part of the agreement, GreenGasUSA will transport the RNG directly to Enviva’s Hamlet plant to be utilized in its industry-leading emissions control equipment in place of fossil natural gas in the third quarter of 2022. The elimination of direct methane emissions at the food processing facility and conversion of these gases into RNG will be one of the first “food waste to RNG projects” conducted in the U.S. Southeast. In fact, the methane captured and emissions eliminated as a result of this offtake agreement are expected to offset approximately 75% of all Enviva’s direct emissions from its manufacturing operations, or Scope 1 emissions, on an annual basis for the duration of the 10-year agreement.

“We are proud to partner with GreenGasUSA to minimize the use of fossil fuels in our Scope 1 emissions and execute on highly effective carbon-neutral strategies,” said Thomas Meth, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Enviva. “Selecting GreenGasUSA for this project was a natural choice as several of their agricultural partners are in close proximity to our existing operational infrastructure. The environmental benefits they provide to the communities they serve and their potential to grow and expand with us as a service provider underscores our excitement about this new collaboration.”

Studies have shown that methane released into the atmosphere is a highly potent greenhouse gas that is 85 times more impactful than CO2 over a 20-year life cycle. Capturing fugitive methane from wastewater facilities, landfills, agricultural activities, and other sources has been identified by the EPA as a key strategy to reduce greenhouse gases and slow global warming. In addition, RNG projects provide much needed investment and income in rural agricultural communities disconnected from infrastructure.

“Through GreenGasUSA’s innovative work with established local agribusiness industries, South Carolina is leading the way in carbon mitigation through methane capture. This new partnership reinforces a strong commitment to our environment and to rural South Carolina,” added South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers.

“GreenGasUSA is grateful to work with Enviva on projects like this. Methane capture from agricultural sources is one of the most impactful things we can do to combat climate change. We are thankful for the leadership of Commissioner Weathers and our farming community for embracing these efforts,” said Marc Fetten, founder and CEO of GreenGasUSA. “Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and creating new income streams for farmers continues to be very gratifying work. Industry leadership, such as Enviva’s commitment to carbon neutrality, is an enabling driver for these types of projects. We sincerely appreciate Enviva’s selection of GreenGasUSA as a decarbonization partner.”

Earlier this year, Enviva announced a Net-Zero Commitment that will reduce, eliminate, or offset all of its direct emissions by 2030. As part of this ambitious plan to cut carbon emissions from fossil fuels and improve energy efficiency, Enviva agreed to adopt innovative and improved lower-emission processes through investments in projects that result in real, additional, and third-party verified net-carbon reductions.
