Linamar Corp and CleanSlate UV Announce Joint Donation in Support of Ontario Healthcare Centres

PR Newswire

TORONTO, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Today, Linamar Corporation (TSX: LNR) and CleanSlate UV are announcing a joint donation in support of healthcare facilities across Ontario. The donation of 100 CleanSlate UV sanitizers will allow hospitals and vaccination sites to provide comprehensive personal hygiene to staff, visitors and patients at no charge.

Mobile devices are a gap in many healthcare facilities’ infection control processes, with an average of one in four hospital devices being contaminated with pathogenic bacteria and viruses. CleanSlate UV sanitizes three to four phones in just 20 seconds using UV light. This donation will bring industry-leading technology to vaccination sites and hospitals across Ontario, ensuring that clean hands can touch pathogen-free devices.

“Supporting our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a priority from the beginning, from building ventilators and parts thereof, to regular rapid testing of employees to reduce community spread, to establishing a vaccination clinic to add capacity to the Wellington Dufferin Guelph Health Unit,” said Linda Hasenfratz, CEO of Linamar, “Providing these innovative UV sanitizer units where they are needed most is a clear next step and a great way to continue to make our communities a safe place for our employees through advanced technology and flexible manufacturing expertise.”

“Smartphones are the third hand we never wash. They undermine hand hygiene, and allow for pathogens to be carried in, out and around healthcare facilities in our pockets,” said Taylor Mann, CEO and Co-Founder of CleanSlate UV, “In a mobile-first world, enabling proper device hygiene is an important part of a comprehensive infection control strategy. We are grateful to Linamar for their partnership over the past year, as it has allowed us to deploy CleanSlate UV units in 200 additional hospitals across North America. With this donation, we are giving back to the communities that have long supported both CleanSlate UV and Linamar.”

All the units being donated have been assembled at Linamar’s Innovation Hub, located in Guelph, ON. Linamar and CleanSlate UV have been working together since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure availability of this important infection control technology. This partnership is part of Linamar’s goal to build a better medical device market in Canada and address healthcare needs globally.

About CleanSlate UV

CleanSlate UV is a biosafety company creating the next generation of intelligent UV sanitization solutions. The patented technology leverages the power of UV-C light to kill the most dangerous bacteria and viruses without damaging devices.

During the fiscal fourth quarter, Commvault repurchased approximately 943,000 shares of its common stock totaling $62.1 million at an average price of approximately $65.91 per share. During the full fiscal year, Commvault repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of its common stock totaling $95.3 million at an average price of approximately $57.97 per share.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Commvault has provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP income from operations margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and annualized recurring revenue (ARR). This selected financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Commvault believes these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Commvault’s ongoing operational performance. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided software and products, services and total revenues on a constant currency basis. Commvault analyzes revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided in Table IV included in this press release.

Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin.  These non-GAAP financial measures primarily exclude noncash stock-based compensation charges and additional FICA and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards as well as restructuring costs. In fiscal 2021, Commvault has also excluded certain costs related to key employees of Hedvig and the noncash amortization and impairment of intangible assets from its non-GAAP results. These expenses are further discussed in Table IV. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault’s core operating results over multiple periods. When evaluating the performance of Commvault’s operating results and developing short- and long-term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses. 

Although noncash stock-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred on stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault’s operating results and those of other companies.

Amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets are noncash items. Commvault believes the exclusion of these expenses provide for a useful comparison of operating results to prior periods and to other companies.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature.  Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault’s operating results. In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault’s employees’ compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance.  Lastly, the components that Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures.  

Commvault’s management generally compensates for the limitations described above related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures by providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Further, Commvault management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS). In addition to the adjustments discussed in non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporates a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 27%. 

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. The GAAP tax rates in recent fiscal years were not meaningful percentages due to the dollar amount of GAAP pre-tax income. For the same reason as the GAAP tax rates, the estimated cash tax rates in recent fiscal years are not meaningful percentages. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault’s use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

The table above excludes stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s restructuring activities described below in footnote three.

(2)

Represents additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards.

(3)

In recent fiscal years, Commvault initiated restructuring plans to increase efficiency in its sales, marketing and distribution functions as well as reduce costs across all functional areas.  These restructuring charges relate primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions, as well as the closure of offices.  Restructuring includes stock-based compensation related to modifications of awards granted to former employees.  Management believes, when used as a supplement to GAAP results, that the exclusion of these charges will help investors and financial analysts understand Commvault’s operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to prior periods.

(4)

In connection with the acquisition of Hedvig Inc., certain Hedvig shareholders will receive cash payments for the 30 months following the date of acquisition, subject to their continued employment with Commvault.  While these payments are proportionate to these shareholders’ ownership of Hedvig, under GAAP they are accounted for as compensation expense within Research and development expenses over the course of the 30 month service period.  Management believes, when used as a supplement to GAAP results, that the exclusion of these non-routine expenses will help investors and financial analysts understand Commvault’s operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to prior periods.

(5)

Represents noncash amortization of intangible assets.

(6)

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, Commvault recorded an impairment charge of its acquired intangible assets. These non-cash charges are not representative of ongoing costs to the business and are not expected to recur. As a result, these charges are being excluded to provide investors with a more comparable measure of costs associated with ongoing operations.

(7)

Represents the change in fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Hedvig.

(8)

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, Commvault incurred costs related to the acquisition of Hedvig, Inc. Management believes, when used as a supplement to GAAP results, that the exclusion of these costs will help investors and financial analysts understand Commvault’s operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to other periods.

(9)

During fiscal 2020, Commvault incurred costs related to a non-routine shareholder matter.  The costs are for professional fees related to the settlement agreement with the shareholder and consulting fees incurred with the operational review which was agreed to as part of the settlement. Management believes, when used as a supplement to GAAP results, that the exclusion of these costs will better help investors and financial analysts understand Commvault’s operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to prior periods.

(10)

The provision for income taxes is adjusted to reflect Commvault’s estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate of 27%.

(11)

This table includes the following financial metrics that are derived from Commvault’s GAAP recognized revenue:

Subscription software and products revenue – The amounts included on this line include the software and product portion of a) non-cancellable term-based, or subscription, licenses that expire at the end of the contractual term; and b) “pay-as-you-go” utility arrangements based on product usage that are structured with no guaranteed minimums.  These revenues are included in Software and Products Revenue on Commvault’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Perpetual software and products revenue – The amounts included on this line are primarily associated with revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses.  These revenues are included in Software and Products Revenue on Commvault’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Recurring support and services revenue – The amounts included on this line consist primarily of maintenance and support revenues associated with the sale of both subscription and perpetual software arrangements.  This revenue is included in Services Revenue on Commvault’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. This line also includes revenue from software-as-a-service arrangements.

Non-recurring services revenue – The amounts included on this line are primarily revenues associated with Commvault’s installation and consultation services.  These revenues are included in Services Revenue on Commvault’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Management believes that reviewing these metrics, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the recurring nature of certain revenue amounts and trends as compared to prior periods. 

Note that nearly all of Commvault’s software and product revenue is related to solutions that are run in the customer’s environment.  Commvault currently does not have material revenue related to hosted, or software as a solution products.  As a result, as required under ASC 606, substantially all of Commvault’s software and product revenue is recognized at a point in time, when it is delivered to the customer, and not ratably over the course of a contractual period.  This is the case for both perpetual software licenses and subscription software licenses. Metallic, Commvault’s software-as-a-service offering is recognized over time as services revenue.

(12)

Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is defined as the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period.  It includes the following contract types: subscription agreements (including utility), maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses, other extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), managed services, and Metallic.  It excludes any element of the deal arrangement that is not expected to recur, primarily perpetual licenses and most professional services.  Contracts will be annualized by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term, then multiplying by 365.

ARR should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue. Management believes that reviewing this metric, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Commvault’s recurring revenue streams versus prior periods. 

(13)

Revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated using the average foreign exchange rates from a previous period and applying these rates to foreign-denominated revenues in the corresponding period of fiscal 2021. The difference between revenue calculated based on these foreign exchange rates and revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP is listed as Adjustment for currency impact in the table above.

TETRA Technologies, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2021 Results

PR Newswire

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TETRA Technologies, Inc. (“TETRA” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TTI) today announced first quarter 2021 results.

First quarter 2021 revenue was $77 million, a sequential increase of 2% over the fourth quarter of 2020.  Net loss before discontinued operations was $11.9 million, inclusive of $6.6 million of non-recurring charges and expenses. This compares to a net loss before discontinued operations of $7.1 million in the fourth quarter, inclusive of $3.4 million of non-recurring charges and expenses.  Net income per share attributable to TETRA stockholders in the first quarter was $0.86, which includes a $121 million gain following the deconsolidation of CSI Compressco LP (“CSI Compressco”), approximately $107 million of which was non-cash.  Excluding the non-recurring charges and expenses, the net loss per share attributable to TETRA stockholders was $0.04.  Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring charges, was $9.0 million, which includes a $4.0 million benefit from the increase in TETRA’s equity ownership in Standard Lithium and CSI Compressco.  Cash flow from operating activities was $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 and compares to $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, while adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations was $5.4 million, compared to $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Total debt of $171 million at the end of the first quarter 2021 was reduced by $29 million from the fourth quarter of 2020.  Net debt at the end of the first quarter was $117 million.

Brady Murphy, TETRA’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The first quarter of 2021 represents a full year since the start of the global COVID-19 pandemic and despite the February winter storm impacting our quarterly financial results, I am pleased with the critical milestones we achieved during the quarter that are accelerating our opportunities in low carbon energy markets and positioning us very well for an improving oil and gas market.  During the quarter we accomplished a successful deconsolidation of CSI Compressco, reduced our total debt by $29 million, achieved eight straight quarters of positive adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations, maintained positive adjusted EBITDA for our Water and Flowback segment despite the historical February winter storm impact, and advanced several of our low carbon initiatives ahead of schedule including our announcement yesterday on our strategic partnership with CarbonFree for Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS).   As oil prices reached pre-COVID-19 levels and stabilized for the past few months, we believe both the U.S. and international markets will continue with meaningful recovery for the rest of 2021 with continuing momentum into 2022.

“In the first quarter, we generated $9.0 million of adjusted EBITDA which was inclusive of an estimated unfavorable impact of $3.1 million due to the severe weather conditions during February that shut down fracking activity in several of our key markets and negatively impacted the supply chain for our industrial chemicals operations.  In March we saw a strong rebound of activity with double digit adjusted EBITDA margins in our Water & Flowback Services segment and over 25% adjusted EBITDA margins for our Completion Fluids & Products segment.  As we enter the second quarter, we see stronger activity levels that are well above our March run rate.  We are optimistic for delivering a very solid second quarter that will be representative of what we can achieve in the current market environment as we leverage our strong industrial chemicals business, proprietary automation technology, and strong international and offshore market position for completion fluids.  Although we are seeing some inflationary costs for fuel and wages, we have been successful pushing across price increases which will allow us to further improve our margins in the US onshore business.  Since the issuance of our prior press release, we secured a second project in Argentina for a fully automated sand recovery using our proprietary SandstromTM   advanced cyclone technology.  Our TETRA BlueLinxtm digitized control system solution continues to be a key enabler for our integrated water management projects as we achieved a record high 47 integrated water management projects with 22 different customers in the first quarter, up from 35 projects in the fourth quarter.  Our Northern Europe industrial chemicals business is off to a strong start in the second quarter, as they have also been able to successfully secure price increases. 

“Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter included $4.0 million in gains on the increased equity value of our holdings in CSI Compressco LP and Standard Lithium where we own approximately 11% and 1%, respectively.  Following the earlier announcement on the deconsolidation of CSI Compressco and reflecting the $77 million of cash from operating activities and the $59 million of adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations that we generated in 2020, we have reduced our term loan by $36 million from $220.5 million as of September 30, 2020 to $184.2 million as of March 31, 2021.  Additionally, at the end of March no amounts were outstanding under our bank revolver. 

“We continue to invest significant management time and technical expertise to evolve our low carbon opportunities with meaningful advancements in each of the key areas of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage as well as zinc bromide and lithium for energy storage.  We are pleased to announce that we reached an agreement with CarbonFree yesterday in which we believe is a step change for the technical and commercial model for Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage.  We have also qualified our “TETRA PureFlow” ultra-pure zinc bromide with two technology leaders in the energy storage space, with first revenues expected as early as this year.  In April we received our additional Standard Lithium shares per our agreement.  We expect to continue to make meaningful progress on these initiatives in the coming quarters to further evolve our diverse revenue stream and to accelerate our entry into low carbon energy.”  

This press release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): Adjusted earnings per share attributable to TETRA stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue) on consolidated and segment basis, Adjusted income/(loss) before tax, adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations, and net debt.  Please see Schedules E through I for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Completion Fluids & Products first quarter of 2021 revenue of $46.5 million increased 5% from the fourth quarter of 2020 driven by higher calcium chloride sales on the winter weather conditions and improving oil and gas demand, somewhat offsetting lower sales for our high value completion fluids for international and offshore oil and gas markets.  Completion Fluids & Products income before taxes was $9.0 million in the first quarter (19.4% of revenue) compared to $11.0 million (24.9% of revenue) in the fourth quarter of 2020.  Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million decreased $3.4 million sequentially.  First quarter Adjusted EBITDA included $1.1 million favorable impact from the Company’s agreement with Standard Lithium.  We estimate that the first quarter adverse weather conditions negatively impacted our chemical operations by approximately by $0.8 million in adjusted EBITDA, mainly on a disruption to our chemicals supply chain and onshore fluids.

Water & Flowback Services revenue was $30.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 2% from the fourth quarter of 2020, and loss before taxes was $5.5 million.  Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million (2.9% of revenue) decreased $2.8 million sequentially as the winter storms resulted in activity shutting down for a period of time in certain regions of the Southwest United States.  We estimate that the impact from the adverse weather conditions reduced adjusted EBITDA by approximately $2.3 million during the first quarter.


Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash from operating activities was $5.8 million in the first quarter while adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations was $5.4 million.  Liquidity at the end of first quarter was $81 million, an improvement of $18 million from the same period last year.  Liquidity is defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the revolving credit facility.  At the end of the first quarter unrestricted cash was $54 million and availability under our credit facility was $27 million.  Long-term debt was $171 million, while net debt was $117 million – an improvement of $16 million sequentially.


Non-recurring Charges and Expenses Items

Non-recurring charges and expenses are reflected on Schedule E and include $3.4 million of cumulative adjustments to long-term incentive cash value awards, $2.6 million of transaction expenses mainly related to the CSI Compressco deconsolidation and $0.6 million restructuring and other expenses.  Income from discontinued operations was $121 million reflecting a $121 million gain on the deconsolidation of CSI Compressco, $107 million of which was non-cash.


Conference Call

TETRA will host a conference call to discuss these results today, May 4, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The phone number for the call is 1-888-347-5303.

Schedule D: Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release may include the following non-GAAP financial measures for the Company: net debt; adjusted consolidated and segment income (loss) before taxes and special charges; adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share before discontinued operations; consolidated and segment adjusted EBITDA; net income (loss) before taxes, Adjusted income (loss) before tax, Adjusted income (loss) before tax as a % of revenue, adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations; and segment adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA margin”). The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.

Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is defined as the Company’s (or the Segment’s) income (loss) before taxes excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted income (loss) before taxes (and adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share before discontinued operations is defined as the Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations (and Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations as a percent of revenue) is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments and certain non-cash charges and non-recurring adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA before discontinued operations (and Adjusted EBITDA margin) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Adjusted income before tax is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, impairments and certain non-cash charges and non-recurring adjustments.  Adjusted income before tax (and Adjusted income before tax as a percent of revenue or Adjusted income before tax margin which is Adjusted income before tax divided by revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s normalized profitability while excluding any unusual, non-recurring items and tax benefits or detriment.

Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations is defined as cash from operations less discontinued operations EBITDA and discontinued operations capital expenditures, less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds and cost of equipment sold and including cash distributions to TETRA from CSI Compressco LP and cash from other investments. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to:

  • assess the Company’s ability to retire debt;
  • evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and
  • to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group.

Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations do not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as they exclude cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted.

Net debt is defined as the sum of the carrying value of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the balance sheet. Management views net debt as a measure of TETRA’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
