HOUSTON, Oct. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Willbros Group, Inc. (NYSE: WG ) today reported a $29.7 million loss from continuing operations, or $(0.49) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to an $83.8 million loss from continuing operations, or $($1.47) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $(15.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
For the third quarter of 2016, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $10.7 million, or $(0.17) per share, on revenue of $174.8 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $19.4 million, or $(0.32) per share, in the third quarter of 2015 on revenue of $222.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was approximately $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $(1.8) million for the third quarter of 2015. Loss from continuing operations before special items was $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $13.8 million for the third quarter of 2015.
An operating loss of $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 compares to an operating loss of $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, a $6.1 million improvement. Operating results for the third quarter of 2016 include project losses on two jobs totaling approximately $4.7 million. Other charges incurred during the third quarter of 2016 totaled $0.5 million related to equipment impairment and employee severance costs. Excluding these other charges, the operating loss before special items was $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2016.
Michael J. Fournier, President and CEO, commented, “Year-to-date results represent a significant improvement over the prior year as a result of our continuing efforts to align our indirect and overhead costs to market conditions. Our third quarter results were impacted by adverse weather conditions and cost overruns on two projects. We may recover some of these costs through future change orders.
“Our 12-month backlog remained relatively flat compared to June 30, 2016 primarily due to additions to our MSA contracts in the UTD segment. We are seeing an increase in our bidding activity in our Oil and Gas segment and remain optimistic in winning a major MSA renewal in our Canadian segment. Building backlog remains our top priority throughout the organization.”
Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including operating income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. A related reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures is included in the accompanying schedules.
Backlog
At September 30, 2016, Willbros reported total backlog of $646.6 million, a decrease of $25.4 million from the June 30, 2016 balance. Twelve month backlog of $375.7 million at September 30, 2016 reflects a small increase from the $373.2 million reported at June 30, 2016. A substantial portion of the total backlog decline is attributable to the expiration of existing multi-year MSA contracts. We will rebid these MSA’s as they come up for renewal but we do not include these new contracts in backlog until they are signed. The twelve month backlog is being impacted by Canadian MSA contracts that expire at the end of 2016 and early 2017.
Segment Operating Results
Utility T&D Utility T&D generated revenue of approximately $106.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, a slight decrease from the second quarter of 2016. Despite recording a large share of corporate costs, the segment generated operating income of $0.6 million, a $1.1 million improvement over the second quarter of 2016. Operating income before special items of $0.7 million reflected a similar $1.1 million improvement over the second quarter of 2016.
Oil & Gas In the third quarter of 2016, the Oil & Gas segment generated revenue of $33.1 million, a $21.6 million decrease when compared to the second quarter of 2016. The segment reported an operating loss of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a $3.1 million increase over the second quarter of 2016 operating loss. The third quarter of 2016 operating loss was inclusive of one project loss of $3.4 million. The segment reported an operating loss before special items of $5.2 million, or a $3.0 million increase from the second quarter of 2016 operating loss before special items.
Canada The Canada segment generated revenue of $35.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, a $5.9 million increase over the second quarter of 2016. The segment reported an operating loss of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a $1.6 million reduction over the second quarter of 2016 operating income. The third quarter of 2016 operating loss was inclusive of one project loss of $1.3 million. The segment reported operating loss before special items of $1.2 million, or a $2.4 million reduction from the second quarter of 2016 operating income before special items.

| (1 | ) | Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items broadly consisting of selected items which management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations and certain non-cash items of the Company. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as a supplemental performance measure for comparing normalized operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry and for presentations made to analysts, investment banks and other members of the financial community who use this information in order to make investment decisions about us. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a financial measurement recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (2 | ) | Backlog is anticipated contract revenue from uncompleted portions of existing contracts and contracts whose award is reasonably assured. Master Service Agreement ("MSA") backlog is estimated for the remaining term of the contract. MSA backlog is determined based on historical trends inherent in the MSAs, factoring in seasonal demand and projecting customer needs based on ongoing communications. Backlog is not a term recognized under U.S. GAAP; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| (1) Contract revenue before special items, operating income (loss) before special items, Covenant EBITDA from continuing operations before special items, loss from continuing operations before special items, income (loss) from discontinued operations before special items, net loss before special items and diluted loss per share attributable to Company shareholders before special items are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude special items that management believes affect the comparison of results for the periods presented. Management also believes results excluding these items are more comparable to estimates provided by securities analysts and therefore are useful in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other construction companies. In addition, management believes results excluding these items are more indicative of the future operating prospects for Willbros as a consolidated company. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| (2) Contract revenue, exited subsidiaries, operating income (loss), exited subsidiaries and (income) loss from continuing operations, exited subsidiaries relate to the Company's historical Downstream Oil & Gas (including Fabrication services sold in the first quarter of 2016), Regional Delivery and Bemis subsidiaries. They are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude special items that management believes affect the comparison of results for the periods presented. Management also believes results excluding these items are more comparable to estimates provided by securities analysts and therefore are useful in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other construction companies. In addition, management believes results excluding these items are more indicative of the future operating prospects for Willbros as a consolidated company. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| (3) Covenant EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that conforms to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the Company's 2014 Term Credit Agreement which includes certain special items. Management uses Covenant EBITDA from continuing operations to determine the Company's compliance with certain financial covenants under the 2014 Term Credit Agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| (4) The Company recorded a provision for income taxes on discontinued operations in connection with the 2015 gains on sale of the Professional Services segment and its historical subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes in discontinued operations was fully offset with a benefit for income taxes in continuing operations through the utilization of prior year net operating losses. The net effect on the Company's consolidated financial results was $-0-. | |||||||||||||||||||||
