Oceaneering International (OII) Up 12.6% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Continue?
Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Oceaneering International (OII - Free Report) . Shares have added about 12.6% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Oceaneering International due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Oceaneering Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates, Sales Lag
Oceaneering International reported a third-quarter 2022 adjusted profit of 23 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a profit of 13 cents. This outperformance was largely due to robust results in certain segments.
Moreover, the bottom line strengthened considerably compared to the year-ago quarter’s loss of 1 cent per share. This can be attributed to greater year-over-year revenues from the Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products and Offshore Projects Group segments.
However, Oceaneering’s total quarterly revenues of $559.7 million marginally lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $561 million due to a decrease in year-over-year sales in a couple of OII’s units. However, revenues increased by approximately 19.9% from the year-ago sales of $466.8 million.
Segmental Information
Subsea Robotics: The unit provides remotely operated submersible vehicles for drill support, vessel-based inspection, subsea hardware installation, pipeline surveys and maintenance services.
Revenues of $169.4 million compared favorably with $143.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. Moreover, the segment reported an operating income of $37 million, greater than the year-ago quarter’s $19.5 million.

Moreover, the segment posted an operating profit of about $4.3 million in the third quarter, up considerably compared to the year-ago quarter’s profit of $809,000. Meanwhile, the backlog rose to $365 million as of Sep 30, 2022.
Offshore Projects Group: This involves Oceaneering’s former Subsea Projects segment, excluding survey services and global data solutions, and the service and rental business, excluding ROV tooling.
Revenues increased by about 60% to $152.9 million from $95.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The uptick in revenues led the unit’s operating income of $20.3 million to compare favorably with the $7.6 million income reported in the third quarter of 2021.
