BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA –– August 2, 2012, Edgen Group Inc. (NYSE: EDG) a leading global distributor of specialized products including steel pipe, valves, plate, and related components to the energy sector and industrial markets, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Edgen Group sales for the second quarter 2012 increased 20% to $496.5 million from $415.1 million in the second quarter 2011. Edgen Group sales for the first six months of 2012 increased 35% to $1.0 billion from $742.1 million for the first six months of 2011.
Sales from the Company’s Energy & Infrastructure (“E&I”) segment, operating under the brand name Edgen Murray, increased $32.8 million, or 15%, to $255.4 million for the second quarter 2012 and increased $124.9 million, or 31%, to $533.0 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. E&I segment backlog increased to $405 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $356 million at March 31, 2012, and $353 million at December 31, 2011.
Sales at the Company’s Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) segment, operating under the brand name Bourland & Leverich increased $48.5 million, or 25%, to $241.1 million for the second quarter 2012 and increased by $135.2 million, or 40%, to $469.3 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011.
Gross profit for the second quarter 2012 increased $3.5 million, a 6% increase, compared to the second quarter 2011. Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 increased $19.6 million, a 20% increase, compared to the first six months of 2011. Gross margins were 11.8% and 11.7% in the second quarter 2012 and the first six months of 2012, respectively, which is an improvement from 11.5% in the first quarter 2012. Gross margins were 13.3% and 13.1% in the second quarter 2011 and the first six months of 2011, respectively.
Gross margins for the E&I segment were 13.7% and 13.6% for the second quarter 2012 and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared to 13.5% in the first quarter 2012. Gross margins also improved for the OCTG segment at 9.8% and 9.5% for the second quarter 2012 and first six months of 2012, respectively, compared to 9.2% in the first quarter 2012.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 5.7% and 5.1% of total sales for the second quarter 2012 and for the first six months of 2012, respectively, compared to 5.3% and 5.6% of total sales for the same periods in 2011, respectively. SG&A expense for the second quarter 2012 was increased by a non-cash charge of $3.0 million related to equity-based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of certain equity-based awards. Exclusive of the $3.0 million charge, SG&A expenses were 5.1% and 4.8% of total sales for the second quarter 2012 and first six months of 2012, respectively, and reflect improved operating leverage on higher sales.
Net loss for the second quarter 2012 was $(13.8 million) compared to net income of $1.0 million in the second quarter 2011. Excluding the $15.1 million (net of tax of $1.9 million) loss on prepayment of debt related to the Company's initial public offering and the $3.0 million (net of tax of $0 million) non-cash equity based compensation charge discussed above, net income for the second quarter of 2012 would have been $4.3 million. Loss per diluted share was $(0.35) in the second quarter 2012 and reflects Edgen Group's allocable net loss which includes the impact of the charges discussed above, and the weighted average number of outstanding dilutive shares since the initial public offering on May 2, 2012.
Net loss for the first six months of 2012 was $(9.7 million) compared to a net loss of $(6.4 million) for the first six months of 2011. Excluding the impact of the debt prepayment and equity-based compensation charges previously discussed, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would have been $8.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the attached table), a non-GAAP financial measure used by Edgen Group and its lenders to evaluate the performance of the business, was $34.1 million for the second quarter 2012 compared to $34.3 million for the second quarter 2011. Adjusted EBITDA increased $11.9 million, or 20%, to $70.5 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to $58.6 million for the first six months of 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was $136.5 million.
Dan O’Leary, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are extremely pleased with the sales growth in 2012 in both our E&I and OCTG segments. Within our E&I segment, we captured higher sales volumes in the U.S. Midstream energy market and saw increased sales in the Asia/Pacific region. Project activity slowed in Europe, but our MRO sales in that region remain steady.” Mr. O’Leary continued, “Our OCTG segment sales were positively impacted by market share gains, improved sales product mix, and a higher average rig count from rigs operating primarily in U.S. liquid-rich shale formations which require specialized alloy products.”
Outlook
The Company is focused on executing its organic sales growth strategy for the remainder of 2012 and maintains its annual guidance based on current market conditions and customer business levels. The monitoring of market drivers including oil and natural gas prices, global rig count, and expected customer energy and infrastructure spending will continue. The Company is exploring alternatives for refinancing its Senior Secured Notes, focusing on strengthening its balance sheet, and investing in its future.

On May 2, 2012, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock and were party to a series of transactions (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the IPO and the Reorganization, we are the parent holding company of Edgen Murray Corporation (“EMC”) and Bourland & Leverich Supply Co. (“B&L”) and have consolidated the results of these businesses with our own. EMC and B&L comprise the historical businesses of Edgen Murray II, L.P. (“EM II LP”) and Bourland & Leverich Holdings LLC (“B&L Holdings”), respectively, which comprise 100% of our E&I and OCTG segments, respectively. The Reorganization has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, as we, EM II LP, EMC, B&L and B&L Holdings have been since July 2010, and continue to be, under the collective common control of affiliates of Jefferies Capital Partners (“JCP”).
We did not own any assets prior to the IPO and the Reorganization. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for common control transactions, all assets and liabilities transferred to us as part of the Reorganization were recorded in our financial statements at carryover basis.
For periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization, the unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial information presented above reflects the Reorganization as if it had occurred on July 19, 2010, the date that EM II LP and B&L Holdings came under the common control of JCP. As such, the periods prior to the IPO reflect the combined assets, liabilities and operations of the historical businesses of EM II LP and B&L Holdings (collectively the “Predecessor”). Because a single direct owner relationship did not exist among the owners of the Predecessor, the net deficit of the Predecessor is shown in lieu of partners’ or shareholders’ deficit for periods prior to the IPO.
For periods subsequent to the IPO and the Reorganization, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented above includes our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. We also consolidate other entities in which we possess a controlling financial interest or in which we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ performance. Edgen Group Inc.’s shareholders’ equity balance reflects: (i) the allocation of the Predecessor net deficit to Edgen Group Inc.’s equity accounts as a result of the Reorganization; (ii) the proceeds received from the IPO; (iii) the amortization of equity-based compensation since May 2, 2012 (the IPO date); and (iv) our net loss and other comprehensive loss since May 2, 2012.
Earnings per Share
We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the earnings attributable to Edgen Group by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, which includes the Class A common stock issued in connection with our initial public offering, restricted stock that has vested and shares that have been purchased through the exercise of vested stock options. Diluted earnings per share amounts include the dilutive effect of stock options (using the treasury stock method as prescribed by GAAP) and other stock awards granted to employees, as well as the exchange of Class B common shares for Class A common shares via the exercise of certain “Exchange Rights” granted to EM II LP and B&L Holdings in connection with the IPO and the Reorganization. The Exchange Rights allow EM II LP and B&L Holdings, the owners of our Class B common stock, to exchange their shares, together with their membership units of our consolidated subsidiary, EDG Holdco LLC (“EDG LLC”), for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, stock dividends and reclassifications), or, at our election, cash. We adjust the numerator in our diluted earnings per share calculation for the income attributable to non-controlling interest of EDG LLC owned by the holders of our Class B common shares. As the Class B shares are exchanged, the amount of income allocated to Edgen Group will increase and the amount of income allocated to the non-controlling interest holders of EDG LLC will decrease. To date, no Exchange Rights have been exercised.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the period from May 2, 2012 to June 30, 2012 (the period since the IPO and the Reorganization). Prior to the IPO and the Reorganization, all income or 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 basic and diluted loss per share for periods prior to the IPO and the Reorganization.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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. 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 or 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. We define EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus equity based compensation, loss on prepayment of debt and other income and expense. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) our financial performance without regard to financing methods or capital structures; and (2) our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness. The table set forth below provides reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
