Shawcor Sells its Oilfield Asset Management Business
18 November 2022 - 11:30PM
Shawcor Ltd. (“Shawcor” or the “Company”) (TSX: SCL) announced that
it has sold its Oilfield Asset Management (“OAM”) operating unit to
Force Inspection Services Inc. (“Force”), in a transaction
generating at least C$15 million in gross proceeds. Shawcor will
retain OAM related Western Canadian real-estate assets which it may
elect to sell at a future date. As part of the transaction, Shawcor
has agreed to lease these properties to Force. The OAM business,
reported within the Company’s Composite Systems (“CS”) segment, is
a provider of downhole tubular inspection, repair and inventory
management services to the Western Canadian energy market. It
generated revenue of approximately C$38.1 million with an adjusted
EBITDA of approximately C$5.3 million in the first nine months of
2022. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce the Company’s
existing indebtedness and fund high-value growth opportunities.
“In September we announced our intent to review
strategic alternatives for three operating units, including the
Oilfield Asset Management business,” said Mike Reeves, President
and CEO of Shawcor. “Executing this sale further demonstrates our
continued commitment to simplify our portfolio, lower business
volatility and elevate full-cycle margins and free cash flow. I
would like to express my gratitude to the employees of OAM for
their many contributions to Shawcor and wish them great success
under their new ownership.”
With the completion of this transaction, the
Company’s CS reporting segment now consists of two operating units:
the Xerxes® business, which manufactures fiberglass reinforced
plastic underground storage tanks primarily for the retail fuel,
storm water and wastewater markets; and the FlexPipe™ business,
which manufactures flexible fiberglass reinforced composite pipe
used for oil and gas gathering and water disposal lines, carbon
dioxide injection lines and other applications requiring corrosion
resistance and high-pressure capabilities.
