DEEP DOWN REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
HOUSTON, August 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Deep Down, Inc. (OTCQX: DPDW) ("Deep Down" or the "Company"), an oilfield services company specializing in complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil production distribution system support services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
OPERATING RESULTS
For the second quarter of 2017, Deep Down reported net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or ($0.03) loss per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016.
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $5.4 million compared to revenues of $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The $0.6 million (10 percent) decrease is primarily a result of fewer jobs in process during the second quarter of 2017 compared to 2016.
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $2.7 million, or 50 percent of revenues, compared to $1.9 million, or 33 percent of revenues, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Despite the lower revenues in 2017, gross profit increased by $0.7 million, or 17 percent increase in gross profit percentage, due to a larger portion of higher margin service work and resolution of an outstanding customer issue.
The Company's management evaluates its financial performance based on a non-GAAP measure, Modified EBITDA, which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common shareholders before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash and non-recurring charges. Modified EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $0.9 million compared to a Modified EBITDA loss of $0.03 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The $0.9 million increase in Modified EBITDA was primarily attributable to our increase in gross profit, as mentioned above.
At June 30, 2017, we had working capital of $11.1 million, including cash of just under $7.2 million.
Ronald E. Smith, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our performance during the first half of the year, especially in light of the challenges across the industry. However, while we were able to realize markedly improved gross margins during the first half of the year, delays in contract executions will likely hamper our performance during the latter part of the year.
“We therefore anticipate focusing more on service projects, and feel confident that our strong balance sheet, and continuous organizational optimization efforts, will enable us to continue being a preferred solution provider, as we continue creating the most value for our customers, shareholders and employees.”
