5 NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Newpark Resources, Inc. ("Newpark" or the "Company") as of June 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1995 audited financial statements and related notes filed on Form 10-K at December 31, 1995. Note 2 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Newpark and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Note 3 The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Note 4 Primary and fully diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the average shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Note 5 Included in accounts and notes receivable at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 (in thousands) are: 1996 1995 ____ ____ Trade receivables $28,481 $27,714 Unbilled revenues 6,743 8,600 ______ ______ Gross trade receivables 35,244 36,314 Allowance for doubtful accounts (761) (768) ______ ______ Net trade receivables 34,463 35,546 Notes and other receivables 3,821 3,662 ______ ______ Total $38,284 $39,208 ====== ====== Note 6 Inventories at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consisted principally of raw materials. Note 7 Interest of $167,000 and $71,000 was capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, interest of $385,000 and $127,000 was capitalized, respectively. 6 Note 8 The Company maintains a $62.0 million bank credit facility with $25.0 million in the form of a revolving line of credit commitment, $35.0 million in a term note and the remaining $2.0 in the form of a 60-day term loan due August 26, 1996. The line of credit is secured by a pledge of accounts receivable and certain inventory. It bears interest at either a specified prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 1996) or the LIBOR rate (5.47% at June 30, 1996) plus a spread which is determined quarterly based upon the ratio of the Company's funded debt to cash flow. The line of credit requires monthly interest payments and matures on December 31, 1998. At June 30, 1996, $1.8 million of letters of credit were issued and outstanding, leaving a net of $17.5 million available for cash advances under the line of credit, against which $17.4 million had been borrowed. The term loan was used to refinance existing debt and requires monthly interest installments and seventeen equal quarterly principal payments which commenced March 31, 1996. The term loan bears interest at the Company's option of either a specified prime rate or LIBOR rate, plus a spread which is determined quarterly based upon the ratio of the Company's funded debt to cash flow. The 60-day term loan bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2%. The credit facility requires that the Company maintain certain specified financial ratios and comply with other usual and customary requirements. The Company was in compliance with the agreement at June 30, 1996. Note 9 Newpark and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation and other claims or assessments on matters arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any recovery or liability in these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Newpark's consolidated financial statements. During 1992, the State of Texas assessed additional sales taxes for the years 1988-1991. The Company has filed a petition for redetermination with the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, in conjunction with its insurance programs, the Company has established letters of credit in favor of certain insurance companies in the amount of $1,750,000 at June 30, 1996. 7 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General On June 5, 1996 the Company executed definitive agreements with Sanifill, Inc. ("Sanifill") for the purchase by Newpark of the marine-related nonhazardous oilfield waste ("NOW") collection operations of Campbell Wells, Ltd. ("Campbell"), a Sanifill subsidiary, for a purchase price of $70.5 million, subject to financing and certain regulatory approvals. Newpark and Sanifill filed notification forms specified under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). On July 30, 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") granted the Company's request for early termination of the statutory waiting period. On August 12, 1996 the Company completed a public offering of common stock to fund the acquisition and to provide the additional working capital needed as a result of the transaction and consummated the acquisition. In the acquisition, Newpark purchased substantially all of Campbell's non-landfarm assets and assumed leases associated with five transfer stations located along the Gulf Coast and three receiving docks at the landfarm facilities operated by Campbell, all of which are located in Louisiana. Newpark expects to achieve cost savings by consolidating the acquired facilities and operations with Newpark's similar facilities and operations; such consolidation is expected to result in a restructuring charge against Newpark's earnings of approximately $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1996. In the acquisition, Newpark assumed obligations under a NOW Disposal Agreement with Sanifill and Campbell, providing for delivery of an agreed-upon volume of NOW to Campbell's landfarms for disposal over a twenty-five year period. Such facilities are being retained by Campbell. Campbell and Sanifill also agreed to refrain from competing with the acquired business in the States of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama and in the Gulf of Mexico for a limited period. Results of Operations The following table represents revenue by product line, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The product line data has been reclassified from prior periods' presentation in order to more effectively 8 distinguish the Company's proprietary offsite waste processing and mat rental services from its other service offerings. Three Month Periods Ended June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 ______________ _____________ Revenues by product line: Offsite waste processing $9,559 36.5% $7,525 33.5% Mat rental services 5,708 21.8 7,364 32.8 General oilfield services 5,294 20.2 3,906 17.4 Wood product sales 3,646 13.9 2,786 12.4 Onsite environmental management 1,462 5.6 473 2.1 Other 510 2.0 400 1.8 ______ _____ ______ _____ Total revenues $26,179 100.0% $22,454 100.0% ====== ===== ====== ===== Six Month Periods Ended June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 _____________ ______________ Revenues by product line: Offsite waste processing $17,392 32.8% $14,915 33.4% Mat rental services 13,608 25.7 13,997 31.4 General oilfield services 9,297 17.6 6,937 15.5 Wood product sales 7,602 14.4 5,410 12.1 Onsite environmental management 4,027 7.6 2,604 5.8 Other 1,020 1.9 800 1.8 ______ _____ ______ _____ Total revenues $52,946 100.0% $44,663 100.0% ====== ===== ====== ===== Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Month Period ended June 30, 1995 Revenues Total revenues increased to $26.2 million in the 1996 period from $22.5 million in the 1995 period, an increase of $3.7 million or 16.6%. The major components of the increase by product line included: (i) an increase in offsite waste processing revenue of $2.0 million derived primarily from improved NORM disposal operations; (ii) increased general oilfield services revenue of $1.4 million derived from increased site preparation work required by the changing mix of mat rental projects; (iii) increased onsite environmental management revenues of $1.0 million due to the increased level of remediation projects; (iv) an increase of $860,000 in revenues from wood product sales due to increased production capacity added in 1995. Partially offsetting these revenue increases was a $1.6 million decrease in mat rental revenues caused by decreased volumes on similar pricing. 9 NORM processing volume during the period increased to 55,500 barrels, compared to 11,100 in the 1995 period. The effect of the volume increase was offset in part by a decrease in the average revenue per barrel from $132.00 in the 1995 period to $52.00 in the recent quarter. The change in average prices reflects the lower level of radium contamination in waste received from site remediation projects, which represent a majority of current volume. NOW disposal and related services revenue increased $603,000 to $6.7 million in the recent quarter compared to $6.1 million in the 1995 period. Substantially all of the revenue increase related to remediation services provided for a major oil company customer. A slight increase in NOW disposal volumes to 675,000 barrels compared to 673,000 barrels in the year-ago quarter was offset by a similar decrease in average price relating to the mix of waste required. Operating Income Operating income increased by $2.0 million or 42% to total $6.8 million in the 1996 period compared to $4.8 million in the prior period, representing an improvement in operating margin to 26.0% in the 1996 period compared to 21.3% in the 1995 period. The primary component of the increase was improved offsite waste processing operations. General and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged decreasing as a proportion of revenue to 2.8% in the 1996 period from 3.0% in the 1995 period, and increasing in absolute amount by $63,000. Interest Expense Interest expense was substantially unchanged at approximately $1 million for both periods, although average outstanding borrowings increased approximately 44.2% from the prior period. This resulted from decreased net interest cost under the current credit agreement, which became effective as of June 29, 1995, and interest capitalization related to construction in progress in the current quarter. Provision for Income Taxes For the 1996 period, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.0 million equal to 33% of pre-tax income. The net provision for the 1995 period of $613,000, equal to a 16% effective rate, was reduced from the statutory rate as the result of the recognition of certain state income tax carryforwards available to offset estimated future earnings. 10 Net Income Net income increased by $678,000 or 21% to $3.9 million in 1996 compared to $3.2 million in the 1995 period. Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Month Period ended June 30, 1995 Revenues Total revenues increased to $53.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $44.7 million for the first six months of 1995, an increase of $8.3 million or 18.5%. The major components of the increase by product line were: (i) increased offsite waste processing revenue of $2.5 million derived primarily from increased NORM disposal operations; (ii) an increase of $2.4 million in general oilfield service revenues derived from increased site preparation work required by the changing mix of mat rental projects; (iii) increased wood product sales of $2.2 million as a result of increased capacity added in 1995 and (iv) $1.4 million increase in onsite environmental management revenue due to increased drilling activity and increased site remediation operations. NORM processing volume increased to 92,700 barrels from 23,800 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to same 1995 period. While the volume of NORM contaminated waste processing increased by 290% the average revenue per barrel of waste processed dropped by 58% to $51.00 per barrel from $121.00 per barrel. The change in average prices reflects the lower level of radium contamination in waste received from site remediation projects, which represent the largest portion of current volumes. NOW disposal and related revenue increased $659,000 to $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $12.0 million for the first six months of 1995. Substantially all of the revenue increase related to remediation services provided for a major oil company customer. The volume of NOW waste barrels disposed of in 1996 was substantially unchanged at 1,357,000 barrels compared to 1,363,000 barrels in 1995 while average revenue per barrel decreased nominally to $8.43 per barrel in 1996 from $8.56 per barrel in 1995 due to changes in the mix of waste received. Operating Income Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 rose to $12.9 million from $8.5 million for the same period in 1995, representing an increase of 51.7%. Operating margin improved to 24.3% in 1996 as compared to 19.0% in 1995. The improved operations can primarily be attributed to the growth in revenues experienced in the Company's proprietary business operations. 11 General and administrative expenses increased by $132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995, but decreased as a percentage of revenue to 2.7% compared to 2.9%. Interest Expense Interest expense was approximately $1.9 million for 1996 and 1995, despite average outstanding borrowings increasing by approximately 47.5%. This resulted from decreased net interest cost under the current credit agreement, which became effective as of June 29, 1995, and interest capitalization related to construction in progress in the current period. Provision for Income Taxes During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the effective tax rate was 34.8% which yielded a tax provision of $3.8 million as compared to 15.4% or $1.0 million in 1995. The 1995 tax provision reflects the benefit realized from tax carryforwards which were fully utilized in 1995. Net Income Net income increased to $7.2 million in 1996 from $5.7 million in 1995 representing an increase of 26.4%. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital position decreased by $7.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 1996. Key working capital data is provided below: June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 _____________ _________________ Working Capital (000's) $ 24,244 $ 32,108 Current Ratio 1.88 2.3 During 1996, the Company's working capital needs have been met primarily from operating cash flow coupled with funds provided by the revolving credit facility. Total cash generated from operating activities of $14.1 million were supplemented by $8.8 million from financing activities to provide for cash used of $23.1 million in investing activities. The majority of the $23.1 million of cash used in investing activities was utilized for the purchase of board road mats which is reflected in the increase in property, plant and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company entered into two transactions which were primarily non-cash in nature. These two transactions involved the acquisition of additional patent and other rights for use in the Company's proprietary business operations. The acquisition of these items is reflected in the increase in other assets and the increase in shareholders' equity coupled with the increase in deferred taxes payable. 12 One of the major components of the decrease in working capital was the decrease in inventories. This change is reflective of the cyclical nature of the Company's wood products business. Raw materials inventory is typically depleted during the first six months of the year and builds during the second half of the year. This is caused by weather cycles which influence the timber cutting. On June 29, 1995, Newpark entered into a new credit agreement with a group of three banks, providing a total of up to $50 million of term financing consisting of a $25 million term loan to be amortized over five years and a $25 million revolving line of credit. At Newpark's option, these borrowings bear interest at either a specified prime rate or LIBOR rate, plus a spread which is determined quarterly based upon the ratio of Newpark's funded debt to cash flow. The credit agreement requires that Newpark maintain certain specified financial ratios and comply with other usual and customary requirements. Newpark was in compliance with all of the convenants in the credit agreement at June 30, 1996. The term loan was used to refinance existing debt and is being amortized over a five year term. In March 1996, the term loan was increased to $35 million, and the $10 million increase was used initially to reduce borrowings on the revolving line of credit portion of the facility. In June 1996, the Company increased its borrowing through the credit agreement in the form of a 60-day term loan in the amount of $2.0 million. The funds were used to acquire board road mats. The revolving line of credit matures December 31, 1998. Availability of borrowings under the line of credit is tied to the level of Newpark's accounts receivable and certain inventory. At June 30, 1996, $1.8 million of letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the line and an additional $17.4 million had been borrowed and was outstanding thereunder. On August 12, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 3,450,000 shares of its common stock, generating net proceeds of $98.1 million. A total of $70.5 million was used to complete the acquisition of the marine-related nonhazardous oilfield waste NOW collection operations of Campbell Wells, Ltd. The remaining proceeds were used to repay $19.0 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility and provide working capital of $8.6 million. The Company has no plans to sell additional equity securities at this time. Potential sources of additional funds, if required by the Company, would include additional borrowings. The Company presently has no commitments for credit facilities beyond its existing bank lines of credit by which it could obtain additional funds for current operations; however, it regularly evaluates potential borrowing arrangements which may be utilized to fund future expansion plans. Inflation has not materially impacted the Company's revenues or income. 13 PART II ITEM 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders (a) Newpark Resources, Inc. held an Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 12, 1996.
