EDGEN GROUP INC 
By Edgen Group Inc. (the "Company" or "Edgen Group") (NYSE: EDG) a leading global distributor of specialized products including steel pipe, valves, plate, and related components to the energy and industrial infrastructure markets, today reported its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012.
"With record net sales in 2012, we are very pleased with our year over year growth given the uncertain global economic conditions throughout 2012," stated Dan O'Leary, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the challenging environment, the Company was able to achieve record revenue levels while we focused on completing an IPO, refinancing our debt at more favorable terms and completing two acquisitions to expand our product offering, all of which continue to position the Company for future success."
Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
-
Net sales increased 23% to a record $2.1 billion from $1.7 billion in
2011.
- Net sales from our Energy & Infrastructure ("E&I") segment increased 24% to $1.1 billion compared to $911.6 million in 2011. Gross margins in 2012 and 2011 were 13.4% and 14.8%, respectively.
- Net sales from our Oil Country Tubular Goods ("OCTG") segment increased 22% to $929.6 million compared to $763.7 million in 2011. Gross margins in 2012 and 2011 were 9.6% and 10.0%, respectively.
-
SG&A expenses in 2012 and 2011 were 5.0% and 5.4%, respectively, of
net sales.
- Exclusive of a $3.0 million non-cash charge related to equity based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of certain equity based awards in the second quarter of 2012, SG&A expenses were 4.9% of net sales and reflect effective cost control for 2012.
- Net loss of $(43.4) million in 2012, as compared to a net loss of $(4.2) million in 2011, includes a loss on prepayment of debt of $71.7 million pre-tax ($69.2 million after tax) as well as other charges as reconciled in the tables below. Excluding charges, adjusted net income (loss) was $29.3 million in 2012, compared to $(3.4) million in 2011.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 15%, to $144.9 million in 2012 compared to $125.5 million in 2011.
- Sales backlog from our E&I segment decreased to $248.0 million at December 31, 2012 from $353.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decline in sales backlog reflects a slowdown in new bookings late in the year as many of our customers chose to delay capital spending initiatives due to uncertainty in commodity prices, global consumer demand for energy, particularly in Europe and emerging markets and fiscal cliff negotiations in the U.S.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
-
Net sales increased 10% to $522.1 million from $475.9 million in 2011.
- Net sales from our E&I segment increased 16% to $301.0 million compared to $258.7 million in 2011. Gross margins in 2012 and 2011 were 12.5% and 13.4%, respectively.
- Net sales from our OCTG segment increased 2% to $221.1 million compared to $217.2 million in 2011. Gross margins in 2012 and 2011 were 9.9% and 9.5%, respectively.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in 2012 and 2011 were 5.1% and 5.0%, respectively, of net sales.
- Net loss of $(44.1) million in 2012, as compared to a net loss of $(0.2) million in 2011, includes a loss on prepayment of debt of $54.7 million pre-tax ($54.4 million after tax) as well as other charges as reconciled in the tables below. Excluding charges, adjusted net income was $11.0 million in 2012 compared to $0.6 million in 2011.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $34.6 million compared to $33.0 million in 2011.
Dan O'Leary stated, "We believe the softness in E&I sales bookings experienced late in the fourth quarter of 2012 and early 2013 will result in a slower first half of 2013 compared to a year ago, but the second half of the year should support another year of sales growth. We expect a competitive environment across all end-markets along with continued pricing pressure for the products we distribute, particularly within the OCTG segment."
2013 Guidance
-
Net sales for our segments are anticipated to be as follows:
- E&I segment - range of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion
- OCTG segment - range of $0.8 billion to $0.9 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $142 million to $152 million.

(3) Reflects non-cash compensation expense related to the issuance of equity-based awards. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount also includes a non-cash charge of $3.0 million related to equity-based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of the vesting period for certain equity-based awards previously granted to certain employees within our OCTG segment. | ||||||||||||||||

(5) Prior to our IPO and Reorganization on May 2, 2012, all income (loss) generated from our operations was allocated to the Predecessor. Because we historically operated as a series of related partnerships and limited liability companies and there was no single capital structure upon which to calculate historical earnings per share information, we have not provided a calculation of adjusted earnings (loss) per share for periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization. | ||||||||||||||||
(6) Diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding include Class A unvested restricted shares and Class A options (vested and unvested), as they were dilutive for the presented periods after adjusting net income (loss) for the items noted above. | ||||||||||||||||
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP measures in this press release because we believe they represent an effective supplemental means by which to measure our operating performance. We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in our business operations to, among other things, evaluate the performance of our operating segments, develop budgets and measure our performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate our cash flows in terms of cash needs. We find these measures to be useful tools to assist us in evaluating financial performance because they eliminate items related to capital structure, taxes and certain non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share, in addition to GAAP financial measures, are useful to investors as they enable us and our investors to evaluate and compare our results from operations in a more meaningful and consistent manner by excluding specific items which are not reflective of ongoing operating results.
We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus certain transaction costs, loss on prepayment of debt and equity-based compensation. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) plus certain transaction costs, loss on prepayment of debt and equity-based compensation acceleration charges. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share consists of adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of our Class A common stock outstanding, giving effect to the dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock awards.
These Non-GAAP measures, as calculated by us, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, these Non-GAAP measures have material limitations as analytical tools, are not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, as an alternative to or superior to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
