ION Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results
Q4 and Full Year EPS of $0.14 and $0.16, excluding special items
$68.5 million of net cash generation in Q4
Stronger seismic industry outlook expected in 2011
HOUSTON, Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ION Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today reported fourth quarter 2010 revenues of $158.6 million, a 31% increase from $121.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Including special items, fourth quarter 2010 net income was $20.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($51.7) million, or ($0.44) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding special items, ION reported fourth quarter net income of $21.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. ION generated fourth quarter net cash of $68.5 million, bringing the year-end cash balance to $84.4 million.
In 2010, ION reported revenues of $444.3 million, a 6% increase from $419.8 million reported in 2009. Excluding the revenues of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment, total revenues increased 25%. Including special items, net loss in 2010 was ($38.8) million, or ($0.27) per share compared to a net loss of ($113.6) million, or ($1.03) per share. Excluding these special items, ION reported net income of $22.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
In addition to the $44.1 million of first quarter pre-tax special charges associated with the formation of the land joint venture with BGP and the debt refinancing, 2010 results include three special items incurred in the fourth quarter. The first item relates to a $24.5 million pre-tax gain associated with net cash received from the Wilson Greatbatch legal settlement. The second item is a $7.7 million pre-tax impairment charge of one of ION's investments. The last item is a $9.5 million pre-tax charge representing ION's 49% share of a one-time write-down of excess inventory by INOVA Geophysical. These special items total $0.43 per diluted share.
Bob Peebler, ION's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are extremely pleased with our strong finish in 2010, with solid earnings over and above our portion of the losses from our INOVA joint venture. Highlights for the quarter included extremely robust data library sales driven by a return to year-end spending by oil companies. We shipped the positioning portion of the 12-streamer BGP deal and finalized the DigiSTREAMER™ testing. The system is now on its way to South Korea, where it will be installed on BGP's new vessel in early spring. Our data processing business ended with a record year. We are pleased that 10% of our data processing revenues were from full wave processing, which appears to be moving into the mainstream in certain market segments. In addition, INOVA's business has started to expand, with BGP purchases leading the way. Ending the year like we did further increases our confidence that we will see continued growth in 2011 in all of our product and service-lines. We now feel that we have a little wind to our back and that the industry is on a full recovery path."
FOURTH QUARTER 2010
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to $158.6 million compared to $121.3 million a year ago. Excluding the revenues of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment, total fourth quarter revenues increased 78%. The Solutions and Systems segments increased revenues by 131% and 27%, respectively, while the Software segment experienced a slight 3% decrease in revenues to $9.4 million as a result of currency exchange rates.
The Solutions group sales increased 131% and generated $106.6 million in revenues during the fourth quarter, up $60.4 million compared to $46.2 million for the same period a year ago. Of this increase, $48.1 million was the result of strong data library sales in basins across the world, including East and West Africa, Brazil and the Arctic regions, $8.2 million was from new venture activities and $4.1 million was due to increased data processing activities.
Systems segment sales increased 27% to $42.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to $33.5 million in the same period of 2009, principally due to increased sales of towed streamer products, including the sale of a 3-D positioning system to BGP.
Consolidated gross margins for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to 42% from 28% in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in gross margins was attributable in part to the contribution of the Company's lower margin land business to INOVA Geophysical in March 2010, which had a gross margin of (6%) in the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding the results of the legacy land business, the overall gross margin of the Company's remaining segments increased to 42% compared to 40% for the prior period. Gross margins improved in each of the remaining segments, predominantly related to sales mix. Systems segment gross margin increased 8% as a result of sales mix and cost improvements, while Software and Solutions segment gross margins increased by 3 and 2 percentage points, respectively.
As a percentage of revenue, after excluding the 2009 results of the legacy land business, operating expenses declined to 20% during the quarter compared to 31% in the prior year period. Fourth quarter operating expenses exceeded normalized levels by $3.9 million primarily due to higher employment and bad debt-related expenses partially offset by lower professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $55.9 million compared to $21.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year.
The Company accounts for its 49% interest in INOVA Geophysical as an equity method investment on a one fiscal quarter-lag basis. As a result, the Company's share of INOVA Geophysical's third quarter financial results is included in the Company's fourth quarter financial results. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a loss on its equity investment of approximately $15.5 million, which included approximately $9.5 million (ION's 49% share) of a one-time write-down of excess inventory by INOVA Geophysical.
FULL YEAR 2010
Consolidated revenues for full year 2010 increased to $444.3 million compared to $419.8 million for 2009. Excluding the results of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment in 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, full year revenues increased 25% or $85.8 million. Solutions segment revenues increased $97.0 million or 54% over prior year, while Software segment revenues increased 9% or $2.9 million. Systems segment revenues decreased $14.1 million to $114.2 million primarily as a result of continued softness in land geophone sales and a decrease in ocean bottom revenues.
Gross margins for full year 2010 improved to 37% compared to 31% for 2009 entirely due to the disposition of the lower margin legacy land business to INOVA Geophysical in the first quarter. Excluding the results of the legacy land business, the overall gross margin of the remaining segments remained consistent at 39%.
Excluding the results of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for full year 2010 decreased to 24% compared to 33% in the prior year period. The 2010 effective tax rate was impacted by the formation of the joint venture and the establishment of valuation allowances associated with equity in losses of INOVA Geophysical and the write-down of one of ION's investments partially offset by a benefit related to alternative minimum tax. Excluding these items, the 2010 effective tax rate would have been 14.5% (provision on income) compared to 15.4% (benefit on a loss) for 2009, as reported. The decrease in the effective tax rate relates to the changes in the distribution of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
Income from operations for full year 2010 totaled $52.8 million compared to a loss of ($58.2) million in the prior period. Excluding the first quarter 2010 results of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment, income from operations during 2010 was $62.5 million.
Excluding the after-tax impact of the special items for both periods as noted in the attached tables, the Company reported a net income of $22.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for full year 2010, compared to a net loss of ($43.4) million, or ($0.39) per share, for 2009. Including the special items, the Company reported a net loss of ($38.8) million, or ($0.27) per share, for full year 2010, compared to ($113.6) million, or ($1.03) per share, in 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for 2010 increased 94% to $140.1 million compared to $72.2 million in 2009.
Fourth quarter cash generation increased $68.5 million, resulting in cash on hand at year-end of $84.4 million compared to total debt of $108.7 million or net debt of $24.3 million. At year end, ION had no outstanding balance associated with its $100 million revolving credit facility, bringing total liquidity to $184.4 million.
OUTLOOK
Brian Hanson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "As previously mentioned in our third quarter earnings call, we expected the second half of 2010 to be considerably better than the first half and this proved to be the case as we finished the year by delivering strong fourth quarter results. We also delivered on our goal of profitability for ION in 2010, excluding one-time items, and expect that the momentum that we experienced during the second half of 2010 will likely continue into 2011.
Similar to years prior to the global financial collapse of 2008, we anticipate our 2011 financial performance to be back-end loaded. This is mainly due to the natural budget/planning cycle of our customers who usually formulate capital spending plans during the first quarter of each year, and the potential for data library sales in the fourth quarter as customers tap the unspent portions of their capital budgets.
While we are not providing earnings guidance, we are providing guidelines on certain items. In 2011, we anticipate investing between $90 and $110 million in our customer-underwritten multi-client data libraries. We estimate interest expense for 2011 to be between $5 and $7 million. In addition, we expect our effective tax rate to be between 24% and 26%."

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) |
|
(Non-GAAP Measure) |
|
(In thousands) |
|
(Unaudited) |
|
Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measurement that is presented as an additional indicator of operating performance and is not a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to service our debt. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA shown below is based upon amounts derived from the Company's financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Income (Loss) from Operations Excluding the |

Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) Segment |
|
(Non-GAAP Measure) |
|
(In thousands) |
|
(Unaudited) |
|
The financial results are reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. One such non-GAAP financial measure is our income (loss) from operations excluding our Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment. This segment was contributed to our joint venture (INOVA Geophysical) on March 25, 2010. Therefore, beginning on March 26, 2010, this contributed business is no longer consolidated into our results of operations. This adjusted income amount is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for income (loss) from operations or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for supplemental financial data and the corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financials for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009:

One such non-GAAP financial measure is income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) excluding certain charges or amounts. This adjusted income amount is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
