NEWPARK RESOURCES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

As part of the ongoing business and portfolio review, the Company announced that the Board of Directors recently approved two near-term actions intended to enhance liquidity available for investment in higher returning businesses, as the Company remains focused on taking the necessary steps to improve returns on invested capital and enhance long-term value for shareholders. These actions include winding down our industrial blending operations in the next few months and pursuing the sale of the industrial blending and warehouse facility and related equipment located in Conroe, Texas. Industrial blending contributed $9 million of revenues in 2021 while incurring a $2 million operating loss and ended the year with roughly $20 million of net capital employed. As a result of the plan to exit and dispose of the assets used in the Industrial Blending business, we may incur pre-tax charges in the range of approximately $4 million to $8 million primarily related to the non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, which we expect to recognize in the first quarter of 2022.

Second, the Company will explore strategic options for the U.S. mineral grinding business, which supplies ground barite and other minerals to the U.S. Fluids Systems business, as well as to third parties in the oil and gas and industrial markets. The mineral grinding business contributed total third-party revenues of $36 million in 2021 yielding approximately break-even operating income and ended the year with $47 million of net capital employed, including roughly $25 million of net working capital.

Segment Results

The Fluids Systems segment generated revenues of $127.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $108.0 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $79.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Segment operating income was $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to an operating loss of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2021 and an operating loss of $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2021 includes $0.9 million of charges primarily related to facility exit and severance costs. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2021 includes $4.0 million of charges primarily related to self-insured costs associated with Hurricane Ida damage to our Fourchon, Louisiana Fluids Systems operating base, facility exit, and severance costs. Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 includes $11.2 million of net charges, primarily related to our exit from Brazil including $11.7 million of charges for the non-cash recognition of cumulative foreign currency translation losses.

The Industrial Solutions segment generated revenues of $51.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $43.8 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $50.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Segment operating income was $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to operating income of $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 and operating income of $9.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2021 includes $0.9 million of incremental pre-tax expenses related to a multi-year sales tax audit and insurance reserves.
