“In spite of declining oil prices and increasing macroeconomic uncertainty, we executed well in the fourth quarter,” said Sivasankaran “Soma” Somasundaram, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong execution, combined with our differentiated product offering, allowed us to exceed the top-end of our fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance range by approximately $3 million.

“On a year-over-year basis, our Production & Automation Technologies segment fourth quarter revenue increased 15%, powered by our high quality artificial lift portfolio and the ongoing adoption of our digital technologies. Compared to the year ago period, our Drilling Technologies segment revenue increased 24%, or approximately two and half times the increase in the worldwide rig count. Growth in this segment was driven by continued customer demand for our technologically advanced polycrystalline diamond cutters and steadily increasing bearings adoption.

“During the fourth quarter, we generated strong cash from operating activities of $71 million, and repaid $25 million of term loan debt. Our continued focus on cash flow generation, combined with our disciplined capital management, allowed us to repay $45 million of debt during the last two quarters of 2018.

“This past year was a transformational year for Apergy. We established Apergy as a strong stand-alone publicly traded company and delivered solid financial results. In addition, we positioned Apergy for continued success through solid progress on our growth initiatives and further expanding our competitive moats.  

“As we look into 2019, we believe that traction on our growth initiatives and solid cash generation will help us to achieve differentiated performance in the market. We expect our growth will moderate in the first quarter of 2019 driven by slower market activity in the beginning of the quarter. Accordingly, our outlook for the first quarter of 2019 is consolidated adjusted EBITDA between $69 and $73 million, which at the mid-point is an increase of 11% from the first quarter of 2018. The first quarter of 2018 did not include incremental stand-alone corporate costs. We expect market activity to progressively improve through 2019 resulting in another year of strong results.”

Production & Automation Technologies

In the fourth quarter of 2018, Production & Automation Technologies revenue increased $31.2 million, or 15%, year-over-year driven by volume and growth initiatives in our artificial lift products and strong adoption of our digital products. Revenue from digital products was $32.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of $11.6 million, or 56%, compared to $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Segment operating profit increased $18.2 million year-over-year. Adjusted segment EBITDA increased $13.3 million, or 36%, year-over-year primarily driven by revenue growth and cost discipline, with adjusted segment EBITDA margin expanding to 21.4% from 18.2% in the prior year period.

On a sequential basis, revenue decreased $5.9 million, or 2%, primarily due to expected seasonally lower artificial lift volume and lower spending by customers in the quarter. Segment operating profit decreased $5.6 million, or 23%, due to lower revenue and $1.9 million of higher restructuring costs. Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, sequentially due to the seasonably lower revenue.

Drilling Technologies

In the fourth quarter of 2018, Drilling Technologies revenue increased $14.8 million, or 24%, year-over-year as a result of increased worldwide rig count and continued diamond bearings growth. Year-over-year, segment operating profit increased $7.6 million, or 40%, and adjusted segment EBITDA increased by $7.3 million, or 33%, as a result of increased volume combined with focused cost discipline.

On a sequential basis, revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 1%. Segment operating profit increased $0.7 million, or 3%, sequentially. Adjusted segment EBITDA increased by $0.6 million, or 2%, due to productivity initiatives during the quarter.

Basis of Presentation

For periods prior to May 9, 2018 (the “Separation”), our results of operations, financial position and cash flows are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Dover Corporation (“Dover”) and reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of certain Dover entities conducting its upstream oil and gas energy business within Dover’s Energy segment, including an allocated portion of Dover’s corporate costs. Our financial statements have been presented as if such businesses had been combined for all periods prior to the Separation. These pre-Separation combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented prior to the Separation and consequently may not reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented prior to the Separation. All financial information presented after the Separation represents the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Apergy.

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 Apergy, and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Apergy, which are non-GAAP financial measures made available as a supplement, and not an alternative, to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in the accompanying financial tables for the reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP.

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 Dover Corporation, royalty expense incurred only prior to the spinoff, and restructuring and other related charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted segment EBITDA margin are defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA, respectively, divided by revenue.

Adjusted net income attributable to Apergy and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Apergy are defined as net income attributable to Apergy and earnings per share attributable to Apergy, respectively, excluding separation and supplemental benefit costs associated with the spinoff from Dover Corporation, royalty expense incurred only prior to the spinoff, and restructuring and other related charges.

References to net income, diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are exclusive of our non-controlling interests.

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 Apergy's performance using the same methodology and information used by Apergy management.
