TETRA Technologies (TTI) Tops Q4 EPS by 5c, Revenues Beat
TETRA Technologies (NYSE: TTI) reported Q4 EPS of $0.03, $0.05 better than the analyst estimate of ($0.02). Revenue for the quarter came in at $259 million versus the consensus estimate of $252.13 million.
Brady M. Murphy, TETRA's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We ended the year in a very challenging energy services market with our best quarterly financial performance in over four years as reflected in Adjusted EBITDA, driven by the CS Neptune project in the Gulf of Mexico, continued strong international offshore completion fluid activity and near record Adjusted EBITDA from our Compression segment. While North America land drilling and completion activity saw a sharp decline in the fourth quarter of 2019 as evidenced by the rig count declining approximately 25% from year-end 2018, our vertically integrated business model in Completion Fluids & Products and in Compression plus our diverse business portfolio including offshore and international markets, helped us navigate this difficult environment. Our strategy to differentiate in areas where we compete is evident in our fourth quarter results and, coupled with continued capital discipline, has allowed us to achieve this strong performance.
"Our fourth quarter results reflect great progress on our key objectives, which we have highlighted during our previous calls. Our technology leadership in high-end completion fluids combined with our long-term key supply agreements helped us deliver one of the strongest quarters for our Completion Fluids & Products business based on our key financial measures. We continue to grow our international offshore business with the award of three major non-CS Neptune completion fluids projects in Asia-Pacific, West Africa and Brazil that are scheduled for completion in 2020. We are currently in various stages of testing and qualification of CS Neptune for seven different potential customer projects.
