“We executed well in the first quarter and delivered solid financial results,” said Sivasankaran “Soma” Somasundaram, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, market activity progressed as we expected with a seasonally slower start in January followed by progressively improving activity for the remainder of the quarter.
“On a year-over-year basis, Production & Automation Technologies first quarter revenue increased 5%, primarily driven by our customer service focused ESP offering, international artificial lift platform, and cutting edge digital products. After the year-end 2018 slowdown in customer spending, ESP installations accelerated throughout the first quarter resulting in significantly more installations in March compared to January. Compared to the year ago period, Drilling Technologies revenue increased 12%, significantly outpacing the growth in worldwide average rig count of 2%. Growth in this segment was propelled by our technologically advanced polycrystalline diamond cutters and diamond bearings. Apergy’s revenue outside of

“We have started the year well. As we look into the second quarter of 2019, we expect modest sequential growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA driven by growth in our artificial lift and digital products, partially offset by lower adjusted segment EBITDA and margin percent in Drilling Technologies due to the seasonally lower rig count in

About Non-GAAP Measures
This release presents information about Apergy’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA are defined as, or as a result of, net income excluding income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization expense, separation and supplemental benefit costs associated with the spinoff from
Adjusted net income attributable to
Adjusted working capital is defined as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable. We believe adjusted working capital provides a meaningful measure of our operational results by showing changes caused by revenue or our operational initiatives.
References to net income, diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are exclusive of our non-controlling interests.
This press release also contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Due to the forward-looking nature of the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measure, management cannot reliably or reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as net income. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures in future periods could be significant. Management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Apergy’s overall financial performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are included to help facilitate comparisons of Apergy’s operating performance across periods by excluding items that do not reflect the core operating results of our businesses. As such, Apergy’s management believes making available non-GAAP financial measures as a supplemental measurement to investors is useful because it allows investors to evaluate
