HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cameron (NYSE:
CAM) today reported fully diluted earnings per share, excluding
discontinued operations and other costs, of $1.18 for the third quarter of
2015, compared to $1.17 for the
same period of 2014.
Other costs in the third quarter of 2015 amounted to
$44 million, or $0.20 per share, as detailed in an accompanying
table.
On a GAAP basis, the Company's fully diluted earnings per share
for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 were
$0.97 and $1.96, respectively, as compared to $1.11
and $2.68 for the same periods of
2014.
President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Rowe, said, "Despite the severity of the
global downturn in energy markets, which has been especially
pronounced in North America,
Cameron reported very strong
operating results in the third quarter of 2015. These results
validate the journey we began in 2014 to reduce the company's
fundamental cost structure and improve execution across our four
segments."
Rowe said, "The Company's earnings for the third quarter of 2015
were comparable to those of the third quarter of 2014, as a
near-tripling of operating income in the Subsea Segment, a 20%
reduction in consolidated SG&A and a lower tax rate were
offset by reduced operating income in the Company's other
three business segments. Revenues were down in all four
segments relative to the year-ago quarter, reflecting weaker demand
in the company's served markets."
Segment Performance
- Subsea - the segment generated significant increases in
operating income and operating income margin relative to the
year-ago quarter, driven primarily by strong execution which
generated project cost reductions during the quarter.
- Surface - ongoing weakness in demand and pricing in
North America contributed to a
decline in operating income and operating income margin as compared
to the year-ago quarter.
- Drilling - strong execution enabled accelerated delivery of
backlog, which contributed to an increase in operating income
margin relative to the year-ago quarter. Margin improvement was
also supported by cost reduction activities.
- Valves & Measurement - lower volumes and pricing pressures
contributed to a decline in operating income and operating income
margin, relative to the year-ago quarter, partially offset by cost
reduction.
Outlook
Rowe said, "Although our operational improvements partially
mitigated the third-quarter impact of the cyclical downturn, we
have seen no easing of market pressures and - as a result - we
expect operating income margins to decline sequentially in the
fourth quarter in each of our four segments. In the face of
market headwinds, we will maintain our relentless focus on the
things we can control: execution, customer relationships, cost
reduction and technology."
Cash Flow from Operations
The company generated cash from operations of $376 million during the third quarter of 2015 and
ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments totaling $1.9
billion.
Agreement to be Acquired by Schlumberger Limited
On August 26, 2015, Schlumberger
Limited (NYSE: SLB) and Cameron
jointly announced a definitive merger agreement in which the
companies will combine in a stock and cash transaction. The
agreement was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of
both companies. The transaction is subject to Cameron shareholders' approval, regulatory
approvals and other customary closing conditions. It is anticipated
that the closing of the transaction will occur in the first quarter
of 2016.
In light of the pending transaction with Schlumberger,
Cameron is discontinuing its
quarterly conference calls for the investment
community.
Cameron (NYSE: CAM) is a
leading provider of flow equipment products, systems and services
to worldwide oil and gas industries.
In addition to the historical data contained herein, this
document includes forward-looking statements regarding operating
income margins for the company's business segments, made in
reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The Company's actual results may differ materially from those
described in forward-looking statements. Such statements are
based on current expectations of the Company's performance and are
subject to a variety of factors, some of which are not under the
control of the Company, which can affect the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition. Such factors
may include overall demand for, and pricing of, the Company's
products, particularly as affected by North American activity; the
size and timing of orders; the Company's ability to successfully
execute the large subsea and drilling systems projects it has been
awarded; the possibility of cancellations of orders; the Company's
ability to convert backlog into revenues on a timely and profitable
basis; the impact of acquisitions the Company has made or may make;
changes in the price of (and demand for) oil and gas in both
domestic and international markets; raw material costs and
availability; political and social issues affecting the countries
in which the Company does business; fluctuations in currency
markets worldwide; and variations in global economic
activity. In particular, current and projected oil and gas
prices historically have generally directly affected customers'
spending levels and their related purchases of the Company's
products and services. Additionally, changes in oil and gas
price expectations may impact the Company's financial results due
to changes it may make in its cost structure, staffing or spending
levels.
Because the information herein is based solely on data currently
available, it is subject to change as a result of changes in
conditions over which the Company has no control or influence, and
should not therefore be viewed as assurance regarding the Company's
future performance. Additionally, the Company is not
obligated to make public indication of such changes unless required
under applicable disclosure rules and regulations.
