Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 2, 2019, MRC Global Inc. (“MRC Global” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.



MRC Global expects the following results with respect to the operations and performance of the Company for the 2019 fiscal year:



·

The Company expects 2019 revenue to be between $4,070 million and $4,270 million.



·

Sequentially, the Company expects second quarter 2019 revenue to be up approximately 6%-9% from the first quarter of 2019.



·

Given MRC Global’s current mix of products, the Company expects a gross profit percentage between 17.4% and 18.0% and an Adjusted Gross Profit percentage between 19.7% and 19.9% for 2019.  Adjusted Gross Profit percentage is a non-GAAP measure that is not necessarily better than gross profit percentage.  The Company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, and plus or minus the impact of its last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing methodology. The Company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The Company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The Company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

The Company expects LIFO expense to be between $20 million and $30 million in 2019.



·

The Company expects selling, general and administrative expense to be between $555 million and $575 million in 2019.



·

The Company expects equity-based compensation expense to be $15 million in 2019.



·

The Company expects to generate between $150 million and $200 million of cash from operations in 2019.



·

The Company expects to have an effective tax rate of 25% for the full year of 2019.



·

The Company expects its total capital expenditures for 2019 to be between $20 million and $25 million.



·

The Company expects diluted income per common share to be between $0.70 and $1.00.



·

The Company expects to have net income (before preferred stock dividend) between $85 million and $110 million and Adjusted EBITDA between $260 million and $290 million in 2019.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is not necessarily better than net income. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and asset impairments, including inventory) and plus or minus the impact of our LIFO inventory costing methodology. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes it provides investors a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We believe that net income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA.

MRC Global Announces First Quarter 2019 Results



Sales of $970 million

Net income attributable to common stockholders of $12 million

Diluted earnings per common share of $0.14

Adjusted EBITDA of $56 million





Houston, TX – May 2, 2019 – MRC Global Inc. (NYSE: MRC), the largest global distributor, based on sales, of pipe, valves and fittings and related products and services to the energy industry, today announced first quarter 2019 results.



The company’s sales were $970 million for the first quarter of 2019, which was 4% lower than the fourth quarter of 2018 and 4% lower than the first quarter of 2018. The sequential decline was driven primarily by the International and Canadian segments including the concluding of a project in Kazakhstan. As compared to the first quarter of 2018, the decrease was primarily due to non-recurring midstream project work.



Net income attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2019 was $12 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to the first quarter of 2018 of $12 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.



Andrew R. Lane, MRC Global’s president and chief executive officer stated, “The first quarter 2019 results were in line with our expectations. Customer activity slowed in December of last year, which carried over into 2019 resulting in a slow start to the year before improving in March. With this improving market dynamic and our market share gains, we achieved solid adjusted EBITDA of $56 million, or 5.8%, of sales in the first quarter of 2019.



“We continued to return cash to shareholders as part of our capital allocation strategy by repurchasing $25 million of our stock in the first quarter of 2019 and an additional $25 million in April. This leaves $25 million remaining for our existing share repurchase program,” Mr. Lane added.



MRC Global’s first quarter 2019 gross profit was $174 million, or 17.9% of sales, an increase from the first quarter of 2018 gross profit of $169 million, or 16.7% of sales. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 reflects an expense of $0 million and $7 million, respectively, in cost of sales relating to the use of the last-in, first out (LIFO) method of inventory cost accounting. The gross margin percentage in the first quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by 20 basis points for two unique, lower margin midstream project orders in North America.



Selling, general and administrative expenses were $139 million, or 14.3% of sales, for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $138 million, or 13.7% of sales, for the same period of 2018.



Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures (adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA) to GAAP measures (gross profit, net income) in this release.





Sales by Segment



U.S. sales in the first quarter of 2019 were $779 million, down $27 million, or 3%, from the same quarter in 2018. Upstream increased by $28 million, or 16% primarily due to higher well completions in the Permian. Midstream declined $56 million, or 14% primarily due to non-recurring midstream project work that ended in 2018.




 

Canadian sales in the first quarter of 2019 were $68 million, down $10 million, or 13%, from the same quarter in 2018 driven by the upstream sector, which was adversely affected by government imposed production limits. A weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted sales by $4 million.



International sales in the first quarter of 2019 were $123 million, down $3 million, or 2%, from the same period in 2018. The $3 million decrease was due to the impact of weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which unfavorably impacted sales by $9 million and the concluding of an upstream project in Kazakhstan. Excluding the impact of currency and the project, International sales increased $18 million or 17% due to improving conditions in international markets.





Sales by Sector



Upstream sales in the first quarter of 2019 increased 3% over the first quarter of 2018 to $312 million, or 32% of total sales. The increase in upstream sales was driven by the U.S. segment partially offset by declines in Canada and International.



Midstream sales in the first quarter of 2019 were $361 million, or 37% of total sales, down $49 million or 12% from the first quarter of 2018. Sales to gas utility customers were up by 11% due to an increase in integrity and growth project spending for various customers, while sales to transmission and gathering customers were down 33% over the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to non-recurring project work that ended in 2018.



Downstream sales in the first quarter of 2019 decreased $1 million from the first quarter of 2018 to $297 million, or 31% of total sales.





Balance Sheet



Cash balances were $27 million at March 31, 2019. Debt, net of cash, was $719 million and excess availability under our asset-based lending facility was $382 million as of March 31, 2019. Cash used in operations was $40 million in the first quarter of 2019. MRC Global’s liquidity position of $409 million is sufficient to support the business and capital needs of the Company.



On January 1, 2019, we adopted a new accounting standard requiring the recognition of operating leases on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2019, the total operating lease liability was $205 million, and the operating lease asset was $190 million.





Share Repurchase Program Update



In October 2018, the board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for common stock of up to $150 million. During the first quarter of 2019, the company purchased $25 million of its common stock at an average price of $14.24 per share. In April 2019, the company purchased an additional $25 million of its common stock at an average price of $18.24 per share, leaving $25 million available under the current authorization.



The shares may be repurchased at management’s discretion in the open market. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. The current program is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019.



Since 2015, the company has repurchased $350 million or 22.5 million shares at an average price of $15.58 per share. The outstanding share count as of April 26, 2019 was 83.1 million shares.





Updated 2019 Annual Guidance



The company is updating its 2019 annual guidance to reflect a slower increase in customer activity levels in the second quarter and more tempered expectations for the remainder of the year than previously expected. The

company expects sales in the second quarter to be improved over the first quarter by 6% to 9% and expects growth in the second half of the year as compared to the first half of the year.

Recorded in SG&A



The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles, and certain other expenses, including non-cash expenses, (such as equity-based compensation, severance and restructuring, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and asset impairments, including inventory) and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology.  The company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA measures the company’s operating performance without regard to certain non-recurring, non-cash or transaction-related expenses.  Adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not account for certain expenses, its utility as a measure of the company’s operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the company does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income and sales, to measure operating performance.  See the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more thorough discussion of the use of Adjusted EBITDA.

The company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, and plus or minus the impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The company presents Adjusted Gross Profit because the company believes it is a useful indicator of the company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions of which they have been involved. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The company uses Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing its business. The company believes that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.

Notes to above:



The Company defines Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) as Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders plus or minus the after-tax impact of its LIFO inventory costing methodology. The Company presents Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and related per share amounts because the Company believes it provides useful comparisons of the Company’s operating results to other companies, including those companies with whom we compete in the distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry, without regard to the LIFO inventory costing methodology. The impact of the LIFO inventory costing methodology can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect.  The Company believes that Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly compared to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders.
