AMSTERDAM
, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Core Laboratories N.V. (NYSE: “CLB US” and Euronext Amsterdam: “CLB NA”) (“Core”, “Core Lab”, or the “Company”) reported third quarter 2022 revenue of $126,000,000. Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was adversely impacted by the devaluation of the Euro and British Pound when translated into U.S. dollars. Using a constant U.S. dollar exchange rate, revenue would be $1,500,000 higher sequentially and $4,300,000 higher year-over-year. Core’s operating income was $14,600,000, with diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.16, all in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Operating income, ex-items, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $13,300,000, yielding operating margins of 11%, and EPS, ex-items, of $0.18. Sequential incremental margins, excluding the aforementioned currency devaluation, were over 55%. A full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures is included in the attached financial tables.
Core’s CEO, Larry Bruno stated, “First, our thoughts remain with our Ukrainian employees and their families during the on-going conflict. Core’s results during the third quarter of 2022 displayed continued positive momentum as we achieved sequential improvement in revenue, operating income, operating margins, free cash flow (“FCF”) and EPS, with strong incremental margins. This quarter-over-quarter improvement in financial results was driven by steady U.S. activity and an increase in international activity, effectively illustrating the operational leverage that is inherent in our global, asset-light business model. Looking forward, Core sees continued progress in both onshore and offshore client activity across our global operations, although the Russia–Ukraine conflict, and the potential collateral impact in Europe, create uncertainties to growth prospects in those specific regions.”
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
The on-going geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine, along with the associated sanctions, continue to present some measure of uncertainty for Core’s business and financial performance in the affected regions. As part of Core’s Reservoir Description laboratory network, the Company provides analytical services on crude oil, natural gas and derived products, including both reservoir condition analysis and ambient condition assay work. Over the course of the third quarter of 2022, demand for laboratory assay work showed modest improvement, as global trading patterns continued to realign.
Reservoir Description
Reservoir Description operations are closely correlated with trends in international and offshore activity levels, with approximately 80% of revenue sourced from projects originating outside the U.S. Reservoir Description revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $79,000,000, up 4% sequentially and flat year-over-year. Third quarter international revenue increased 8% sequentially, driven by project progression and realignment of global trading patterns. Considering the devaluation of the Euro and British Pound, and using a constant U.S. dollar exchange rate, international revenue would be up 11% sequentially and up 6% year-over-year. Operating income for the third quarter of 2022 on a GAAP basis was $9,800,000, while operating income, ex-items, was $8,400,000, yielding operating margins of 11%. Using the aforementioned currency devaluation, sequential incremental margins, ex-items, were in excess of 70%.
During the third quarter of 2022, Core continued to leverage its global network, expertise and proprietary technologies to evaluate core and reservoir fluid samples acquired from a multi-well exploration program in the deepwater, Orange Basin, located offshore Namibia. Conventional core recovered from targeted stratigraphic intervals were scanned using Core’s Non-Invasive Technologies for Reservoir Optimization (“NITRO™”). A wide range of critical petrophysical parameters for pay delineation were generated using Core Lab’s innovative measurement and modeling techniques, allowing for early-time assessment of the recovered strata. Selected samples are now progressing through the traditional, time-honored program of physical laboratory measurements. Core’s proprietary, full visualization, high-pressure, high-temperature, pressure-volume-temperature (“PVT”) cells and other proprietary technologies were utilized to determine the chemical and physical properties of recovered reservoir fluids. Recent successes in Namibia have generated renewed interest in Core Lab’s “Reservoirs and Seals of Offshore Namibia Basins, South Atlantic Margin” regional study. This study, conducted in collaboration with the National Oil Company of Namibia, includes geological analysis of samples from more than 20 wells. The study assessed depositional and diagenetic controls on porosity and provides a regional evaluation of prospective reservoir targets. This study is just one of 22 multi-well, multi-company studies that Core Lab has conducted on offshore Africa sedimentary basins.
Core Lab is pleased to announce that during the third quarter of 2022, Quantum Energy Partners, LLC and Trace Midstream Management II, LLC joined Core’s Carbon Capture and Sequestration (“CCS”) Consortium, bringing total membership to eight participants. These new members enhance the Consortium’s exposure to private equity engagement and midstream operations expertise in the emerging CCS marketplace. Earlier in 2022, Core announced the launch of its CCS Consortium in collaboration with Dr. Birol Dindoruk of the University of Houston. The objective of the Consortium is to analyze geologic risks and challenges associated with subsurface carbon sequestration. This consortium project leverages Core’s expertise in subsurface characterization, with a focus on reservoir capacity, subsurface injection and containment integrity, as well as rock-fluid and fluid-fluid compatibility. Regulatory entities that govern carbon sequestration projects require extensive site evaluation. Core’s technologies ensure that models for simulation and monitoring of CO2 injection and sequestration are both representative and applicable for the permitting process.
Production Enhancement
Production Enhancement operations, which are focused on complex completions in unconventional, tight-oil reservoirs in the U.S., as well as conventional offshore projects across the globe, posted third quarter 2022 revenue of $47,000,000, up 4% sequentially and up 20% year-over-year. Operating income on a GAAP basis was $4,400,000, while operating income, ex-items, was $4,700,000, yielding operating margins of 10% and sequential incremental margins, ex-items, of 44%. During the quarter, Core’s proprietary energetic product sales grew over 20% sequentially and over 30% year-over-year, driven by both organic growth from new product sales and market penetration in U.S. and international markets.
During the third quarter of 2022, Core Lab continued to build on the success of its proprietary Plug and Abandonment Perforating System (“PAC™”) in applications for oil and gas well abandonment programs. Core provides solutions that leverage its expertise in energetics as an alternative to traditional section milling, which is slower and more costly. Thus far in 2022, Core has successfully deployed its PAC™ technologies in over 30 wells in the North Sea. Core’s PAC™ energetic solutions are commonly used in Perf-Wash-Cement (“PWC”) applications. This technique enables the operator to selectively establish circulation in the annular space between casing strings, thereby creating pathways for setting the permanent cement barriers that comply with stringent requirements for well abandonment in the North Sea. Core’s Production Enhancement team offers an industry-leading portfolio of plug and abandonment energetic solutions.
Operators continued to leverage Core’s expertise in completion diagnostics for offshore wells during the third quarter of 2022. Core’s SpectraStim™, SpectraScan®, and PackScan® downhole imaging technologies were utilized in deepwater Gulf of Mexico Miocene wells to evaluate single and dual zone frac pack completions. In addition to those technologies, Core’s FLOWPROFILER™ oil tracers were used to assess production in ultra-deepwater Gulf of Mexico reservoirs involving multi-zone completions. The costs associated with completing multiple zones in these high-stakes wells necessitates confirmation that each frac pack is properly configured, and that each targeted zone is contributing oil production as per the completion plan. Recently, Core’s Production Enhancement team was tasked to deploy a unique FLOWPROFILER™ diagnostic tracer in each of four frac pack completion zones. Core’s proprietary laboratory analytical techniques confirmed that all four zones were contributing to production. FLOWPROFILER™ also helped the operator understand how the reservoir was responding, allowing them to adjust flowback procedures to achieve drawdown pressure that optimized production without damaging the reservoir. Core’s Completion diagnostics are a critical tool for determining whether planned completion programs were successfully executed downhole, many thousands, or even tens of thousands of feet away from the wellhead.
Liquidity, Free Cash Flow and Dividend
On 9 June 2022, Core Lab announced a $60,000,000 At-The-Market (“ATM”) equity offering program. As of 30 September 2022, the Company had not sold any shares under the ATM program.
Core continues to focus on maximizing FCF, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures. For the third quarter of 2022, cash from operations was $5,800,000 and capital expenditures were $2,700,000, yielding FCF of $3,100,000. Core expects the growth in working capital associated with higher levels of inventory to moderate, cash from operations to strengthen and the Company to generate positive free cash in future quarters. Core’s free cash will continue to be returned to its shareholders through the Company’s regular quarterly dividend as well as being focused towards reducing long-term debt.
Core will continue applying free cash towards reducing debt until the Company reaches its target leverage ratio (calculated as total net debt divided by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA) of 1.5 times or lower.
On 27 July 2022, Core’s Board of Supervisory Directors (“Board”) announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock, which was paid on 29 August 2022 to shareholders of record on 8 August 2022. Dutch withholding tax was deducted from the dividend at a rate of 15%.
On 26 October 2022, the Board approved a cash dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock payable in the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter dividend will be payable on 28 November 2022, to shareholders of record on 7 November 2022. Dutch withholding tax will be deducted from the dividend at a rate of 15%.
Return On Invested Capital
The Board and the Company’s Executive Management continue to focus on strategies that maximize return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and FCF, factors that have high correlation to total shareholder return. Core’s commitment to an asset-light business model and disciplined capital stewardship promotes capital efficiency and is designed to produce more predictable and superior long-term ROIC.
The Board has established an internal performance metric of demonstrating superior ROIC performance relative to the oilfield service companies listed as Core’s Comp Group by Bloomberg, as the Company continues to believe superior ROIC will result in higher total return to shareholders. Bloomberg’s calculations using the latest comparable data available indicate Core Lab’s ROIC of 5.8%.
Industry and Core Lab Outlook and Guidance
As the fourth quarter of 2022 unfolds, Core anticipates the crude-oil commodity price will remain near current levels but may fluctuate in response to the crude-oil supply and demand uncertainties related to slowing global economic growth, inflationary pressures and government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns in China. Over the longer term, crude-oil supply is projected to tighten as production growth faces limitations due to prolonged underinvestment in many regions around the globe. As a result, Core Lab expects operators to expand their upstream spending plans into 2023, supporting Core’s outlook for continued improvement in international onshore and offshore activity, with projects emerging across most regions. These crude-oil market fundamentals are leading indicators for what Core sees as a strengthening multi-year international recovery.
Turning to the U.S., Core expects U.S. onshore activity to remain steady and modestly grow in 2023, as operators remain focused on capital discipline and availability of additional frac crews and drilling rigs may constrain growth.
As a result, for the fourth quarter of 2022, Core’s Reservoir Description segment revenue is projected to be flat to up slightly. While momentum in international activity continues to build, near-term growth may be affected by two factors: 1) volatility associated with the Russia–Ukraine geopolitical conflict, and 2) client-driven project delays. Production Enhancement segment revenue is estimated to increase by mid to high single digits as U.S. land activity is projected to remain steady and international growth continues.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, Core projects U.S. activity to remain stable and the recent improvement trends in international, offshore and deepwater markets to continue. Core projects fourth quarter 2022 revenue to range from $126,000,000 to $131,000,000 and operating income of $13,000,000 to $15,000,000, yielding operating margins of approximately 11%. EPS for the fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to be $0.17 to $0.21.
The Company’s fourth quarter 2022 guidance is based on projections for underlying operations and excludes gains and losses in foreign exchange. Fourth quarter 2022 guidance also assumes an effective tax rate of 20%.

Non-GAAP Information
Management believes that the exclusion of certain income and expenses enables it to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations period-over-period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by the excluded Items. For this reason, management uses certain non-GAAP measures that exclude these Items and believes that this presentation provides a clearer comparison with the results reported in prior periods. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Return on Invested Capital
Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is presented based on management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors and management when comparing profitability and the efficiency with which capital has been employed over time relative to other companies. The Board has established an internal performance metric of demonstrating superior ROIC performance relative to the oilfield service companies listed as Core’s Comp Group by Bloomberg. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income.
ROIC of 5.8% is defined by Bloomberg as Net Operating Profit After Tax (“NOPAT”) of $21.8 million divided by Average Total Invested Capital (“Average TIC”) of $375.9 million where NOPAT is defined as GAAP net income before non-controlling interest plus the sum of income tax expense, interest expense, and pension expense less pension service cost and tax effect on income before interest and tax expense. Average TIC is defined as the average of beginning and ending periods’ GAAP stockholders’ equity plus the sum of net long-term debt, lease liabilities, allowance for credit losses, net of deferred taxes, and income taxes payable.
Free Cash Flow
Core uses the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow to evaluate its cash flows and results of operations. Free cash flow is an important measurement because it represents the cash from operations, in excess of capital expenditures, available to operate the business and fund non-discretionary obligations. Free cash flow is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation nor construed as an alternative consideration to operating income, net income, earnings per share, or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow should not be considered a measure of liquidity. Moreover, since free cash flow is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and thus is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, free cash flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
