Geospace Technologies Corporation Reports Profitable Second Quarter And Six-Month 2023 Earnings

Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: GEOS) (the “Company”) today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2023. For the three-months ended March 31, 2023, Geospace reported revenue of $31.4 million compared to revenue of $24.7 million for the comparable year-ago quarter. Net income for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or ($0.11) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

For the six-months ended March 31, 2023, Geospace reported revenue of $62.5 million compared to revenue of $42.7 million for the comparable year-ago period. Net income for the six-months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.2 million, or ($0.64) per diluted share, for the six-months ended March 31, 2022.

Management’s Comments

Walter R. (“Rick”) Wheeler, President and CEO of the Company said, “We’re delighted with the solid performance reflected in our second quarter results for fiscal year 2023. Revenue of $31.4 million represents the highest quarterly figure in almost 9 years, and the achievement of net income exceeding $4.6 million demonstrates our real commitment to profitability. Although net income includes a $1.3 million gain on the sale of our Langfield facility, most of the income came from profits on operations. The largest single contribution to both revenue and profits for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year came from rentals of our OBX ocean bottom nodes. Our OBX customers report that projects requiring their ocean bottom seismic services have increased beyond pre-pandemic levels and will remain strong throughout the year. This translates to greater demand and utilization of our OBX rental fleet. We believe these improved market conditions are durable for the foreseeable future and should provide leverage for greater revenue and less volatility from our Oil & Gas segment.

Driven by sales of our water meter cables and connectors, second quarter revenue from our Adjacent Markets segment set yet another quarterly record. Moreover, revenue generated by this segment in the first half of fiscal year 2023 represents the greatest figure ever achieved in any six-month period. It is rewarding to see such firm evidence of the positive impact our strategic diversification efforts are making in this segment, and how its growing strength adds stability to the company’s overall performance. We believe this segment will continue to provide growing and reliable revenue as domestic municipalities update their smart water meter infrastructure. We further anticipate these infrastructure updates to translate into meaningful contracts for our Aquana smart water shut off valves.

Only a small amount of revenue was generated in the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year by Quantum and our Emerging Markets segment. However, current efforts on the previously announced DARPA contract, as well as a smaller contract with an undisclosed major defense contractor, offer potential for significant future contracts utilizing our SADAR acoustic arrays and unique analytics. Ongoing discussions with energy companies and service providers related to carbon capture monitoring also hold promise for the future of this segment. Our efforts to reduce expenses are also bearing fruit. Looking past last year’s non-cash adjustments to earn-out liabilities, operating expenses for the first half of the fiscal year have decreased 5% compared to last year. We believe the company’s path to profitability through conservative management, a strong balance sheet, and market cultivation will continue to yield positive results.

Oil and Gas Markets Segment

Revenue from the Oil and Gas Markets segment totaled $18.4 million for the three-month ended March 31, 2023. Revenue from the same period of the prior fiscal year was $15.1 million, an increase of 21.6%. Revenue for the six-month period ended March 31, 2023, is $38.6 million, an increase of 55.6% over the equivalent prior year period. The increase in revenue for both periods was due to higher rental revenue from higher utilization for our marine OBX rental fleet and higher demand for our seismic sensors. The increase in revenue for the six-month period is partially offset by a decrease in the demand for our wireless exploration products. Strong demand for the Company’s OBX rental fleet has increased utilization to near full capacity. Rental revenue reached pre-pandemic levels and the highest quarter since June 2020.

Adjacent Markets Segment

Revenue from our Adjacent Markets products for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is $12.7 million an increase of $3.5 million, and an increase of $38.1% from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The revenue for the six-month period ended March 31, 2023, was $23.5 million, an increase of 35.4%, from the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue for both periods was primarily due to increased demand for our water meter cable and connector products.

Emerging Markets

For the three-and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s Emerging Market’s segment generated revenue of $0.2 million and $0.3 million respectively. For the similar periods from fiscal year 2022, the Emerging Market’s segment produced revenue of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The revenue from this segment primarily consisted of on-going service and maintenance related to our completed contract with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Currently, the Emerging Markets segment has a backlog of $2.1 million, of which the Company expects to begin recognizing a portion of this revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company used $5.1 million in cash and cash equivalents from operating activities. The Company generated $12.2 million of cash from investing activities that included $8.8 million in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and $4.2 million in proceeds from the sale of a property and equipment offset by cash used to invest in additional property, plant, rental and other equipment of $1.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $22.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and maintained an additional borrowing availability of $5.5 million under its credit agreement with no borrowings outstanding. Thus, as of March 31, 2023, the Company’s total liquidity stood at $28.3 million. The Company is currently in discussions with one of its lenders on a new larger credit facility. The Company additionally owns unencumbered property and real estate in both domestic and international locations.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “evaluating” or similar words. Statements that contain these words should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward- looking statements include, statements regarding our expected operating results, expected demand for our products in various segments, and ability to secure a new credit facility. These forward-looking statements reflect our current judgment about future events and trends based on currently available information. However, there will likely be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control. The factors listed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other cautionary language in such Annual Report, any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q, or in our other periodic reports, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

Such examples include, but are not limited to, the failure of the Quantum or OptoSeis® or Aquana technology transactions to yield positive operating results, decreases in commodity price levels, the continued adverse impact of COVID-19, which could reduce demand for our products, the failure of our products to achieve market acceptance (despite substantial investment by us), our sensitivity to short term backlog, delayed or cancelled customer orders, product obsolescence resulting from poor industry conditions or new technologies, bad debt write-offs associated with customer accounts, inability to collect on promissory notes, lack of further orders for our OBX systems, failure of our Quantum products to be adopted by the border and security perimeter market or a decrease in such market due to governmental changes, , inability to secure a new credit facility, and infringement or failure to protect intellectual property. The occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or in our other periodic reports could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position, and actual events and results of operations may vary materially from our current expectations. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward- looking statement, whether written or oral, that we may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations.
