Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 26, 2016, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the quarterly and year-to-date financial information determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the attached press release, the press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding the Company’s past financial performance and future financial performance. The attached press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Consolidated and Segment adjusted income before taxes, excluding the Company’s Maritech segment and special charges. Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show TETRA’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may be presented on a consolidated and segment basis. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or cost basis, and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
Net Debt. Net Debt is defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management believes that Net Debt provides information concerning the Company’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is cash from operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech’s asset retirement obligations, less capital expenditures. Management believes this is an important supplemental financial measure because it allows management to assess the Company’s ability to retire debt, and evaluate the capacity to further invest and grow.

The methods the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure of each non-GAAP financial measure is included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

EXHIBIT 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TETRA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2015 RESULTS

The Woodlands, Texas (February 26, 2016) - TETRA Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TTI) today announced fourth quarter 2015 adjusted earnings per share of $0.01, excluding Maritech and other charges, which compares to $0.09 per share in the fourth quarter of 2014, also excluding Maritech and other charges. Fourth quarter 2015 revenue of $258 million declined 18% from the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily as a result of a 61% reduction in the North American rig count.

Consolidated GAAP fourth quarter 2015 earnings per share attributable to TETRA stockholders including Maritech and other charges was a loss of $(1.84), which compares to a loss of $(1.90) in the fourth quarter of 2014. (Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the schedule.)

Highlights of the 2015 fourth quarter include:
TETRA fourth quarter free cash flow(1) of $52 million, excluding CSI Compressco and $5 million of Maritech asset retirement obligation (ARO) expenditures, and $3 million of costs associated with the issuance of $125 million of 11% Senior Notes completed in the fourth quarter. For the full year ending December 31, 2015, TETRA free cash flow(1) was $120 million, excluding CSI Compressco and $10 million of Maritech ARO expenditures, and $3 million of costs associated with the note issuance.
During 2015, TETRA reduced total debt outstanding by $102 million and improved its debt to EBITDA leverage ratio(3) from a high of 3.38x in 2014 to 1.86x at year-end 2015.
Continued strength in our Fluids Division driven by offshore activities and the continued success of our zinc-free heavy completion fluid.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $28.4 million for CSI Compressco LP, demonstrating continued profitability in the current environment.
Continued reduction in operating expenses across all of our businesses.
Robust earnings in our Offshore Services segment during what is typically a seasonally slow quarter.
(1)
Non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to GAAP in Schedule G.
(2)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to GAAP in Schedule F.
(3)
Leverage ratio is defined by TETRA’s credit agreement as outstanding debt plus letters of credit, divided by trailing twelve-month EBITDA excluding unusual charges, Maritech losses, and CSI Compressco distributions.

Analysis of Fourth Quarter Results
    
Stuart M. Brightman, TETRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The markets we serve became increasingly challenging as we exited the fourth quarter of 2015 and moved into 2016. Despite this unfavorable environment, in the fourth quarter we were able to generate adjusted earnings per share of $0.01 and adjusted free cash flow of $52 million (see schedule G for a reconciliation of free cash flow to GAAP cash from operations). We continue to take the actions necessary to ensure the long-term health of the company and continue to generate free cash flow.

“Our Fluids Division generated $17.2 million of adjusted income before taxes in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $19.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Division’s results for 2015’s fourth quarter included a $3.5 million favorable benefit from the resolution of a completion fluids project completed in the third quarter of 2015. We continue to benefit from positive results for our completion fluids business in the Gulf of Mexico, driven by the introduction of our zinc-free heavy completion fluids. Our chemicals business continues to be an area of strength due to the diversity of our end-user markets. On a sequential basis, compared to the third quarter of 2015, our onshore completion fluids businesses continued to suffer from decreased demand in a very challenging market. Certain areas of our international operations in the Fluids Division began to evidence the impact of market pressures in the fourth quarter, and we expect this to be a more challenging environment in 2016.

“Our Production Testing Division’s fourth quarter results were a sequential improvement over the third quarter of 2015, with an adjusted pretax loss of $(0.9) million compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $(1.4) million in the third quarter of 2015. Our U.S. activity continued to decrease and the market continued to be more challenging in the fourth quarter. Despite this, we were able to generate sequentially improved results due to several international projects that occurred during the fourth quarter. We expect this business to continue to experience reduced demand during the first half of 2016, and we will continue to focus on offsetting the impact with our international operations.

“For the fourth quarter of 2015, our Compression Division reported an adjusted pretax loss of $(0.9) million, compared to adjusted income before taxes of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Division benefited from spot sales of compression equipment as well as continued demand for our large horsepower compression services. Adjusted EBITDA of $28.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 is slightly below adjusted EBITDA of $31.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. Aggressive cost actions have been taken in areas of reduced demand, most notably, resources associated with our fabrication business. On January 22, 2016, CSI Compressco LP declared a decreased distribution of $0.3775 attributable to the fourth quarter of 2015. This proactive decision to decrease the distribution was taken to provide a buffer against anticipated lower activity levels over the course of 2016.

“Our Offshore Services segment reported adjusted income before taxes of $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $(3.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2014. This significant improvement was driven by benefits from ongoing cost actions and the execution of several small projects during the quarter. Our responsiveness to our customers enabled us to secure this business during a season in which activity is typically reduced.

“During the fourth quarter TETRA, excluding the operations of CSI Compressco, had $52 million of free cash flow, which includes distributions from CSI Compressco but excludes $5 million spent on Maritech asset retirement obligations (see schedule G for a reconciliation to GAAP cash from operations). For the full year 2015, such free cash flow was $120 million. As we noted throughout 2015, our ability to generate cash in this very challenging environment was driven by earnings, our minimization of capital expenditures, and continued improvements in working capital. We exited 2015 with a leverage ratio of 1.86x, representing our fifth consecutive quarter of improvement in the leverage ratio.”

Divisional revenues, adjusted income (loss) before taxes, adjusted income (loss) before taxes as a percent of revenue, and adjusted EBITDA (all of which are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to GAAP in the schedules below) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized in the table below:

Debt, Cost, and Cash Actions

Given the uncertain market environment and despite our strong 2015 cash generation and improvements in our capital structure, over the past 90 days the Company has implemented an incremental series of actions to ensure we remain strong through a prolonged downturn.  These actions have included:
During the fourth quarter we secured $125.0 million of 11% senior notes maturing in seven years. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down $115.0 million of senior notes due from April 2016 through December 2020, and associated transaction fees. Following this transaction, TETRA has $46.9 of outstanding debt maturing in December 2017, with no subsequent maturities until 2019. The strength of our balance sheet and ongoing actions to support it continue to be a primary focus for our management group.
Since October 1, 2015, we have reduced headcount by 9.5% for TETRA, and 16% for CSI Compressco. In addition, we have recently implemented salary reductions in North America that approximate 5% of annual base pay, to counter continued pricing pressures.
A 25% reduction in CSI Compressco LP’s distribution attributable to the fourth quarter of 2015, and a reduction of total capital expenditures from $95 million in 2015 to $20 to $30 million in 2016. Given the pricing pressures in our industry, we remain focused on capital returns and will resume investments in growth capital when market pricing supports appropriate returns.

Special Charges and Maritech

During the fourth quarter of 2015, due to changes in the current market environment, the fair value of certain of our identified assets and goodwill has decreased. As a result, we recorded $231 million of impairments and other charges, primarily for our Compression and Production Testing Divisions.

Maritech reported a pre-tax loss of $(2.8) million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

First Quarter Financial Guidance

Given the continued weakness in commodity prices and the seasonality of our operations, we expect a first quarter GAAP loss attributable to TETRA stockholders of between $0.21 to $0.29 per share and first quarter adjusted EPS to be a loss of between $0.15 to $0.20 per share reflecting a normalized tax rate of 30%. Additionally, we expect first quarter TETRA only free cash flow of between break-even and $10 million (TETRA only cash flow from operations of $1 million to $11 million, less anticipated TETRA only capital expenditures of $6 million, plus $5 million of distributions from CSI Compressco LP) as the first quarter has historically been TETRA’s weakest quarter given the seasonality of our operations.

Conference Call

TETRA will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter 2015 results today, February 26, 2015, at 10:30 am ET. The phone number for the call is (888) 347-5303. The conference will also be available by live audio webcast and may be accessed through TETRA's website at www.tetratec.com.

TETRA owns an equity interest, including all of the general partner interest, in CSI Compressco LP (NADAQ:CCLP), a master limited partnership.

This press release includes certain statements that are deemed to be forward-looking statements. Generally, the use of words such as “may,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “assume,” “could,” “should,” “plans,” “targets” or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events, activities, expectations or outcomes identify forward-looking statements that the Company intends to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws.

Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including the ability of CSI Compressco to successfully integrate the operations of CSI and recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performances or results and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could affect actual results are described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other risks identified from time to time in its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures for the Company: net debt, adjusted consolidated and segment income before taxes, excluding the Maritech segment and special charges; Adjusted EBITDA; and free cash flow. The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show the Company’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the special charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.

Adjusted income before taxes (and adjusted income before taxes as a percent of revenue) is defined as the Company’s (or its Segments’) income before taxes excluding certain special or other charges (or credits). Adjusted income before taxes (and adjusted income before taxes as a percent of revenue) is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as the Company’s diluted earnings per share excluding certain special or other charges (or credits) and using a normalized effective income tax rate. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that the Company defines as cash from operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech ARO, less capital expenditures. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to:
assess the Company’s ability to retire debt;
evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and
to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group of companies.

TETRA free cash flow does not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted.

TETRA net debt is defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management views net debt as a measure of TETRA’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.

Schedule H: Non-GAAP Reconciliation of TETRA Net Debt

The cash and debt positions of TETRA and CSI Compressco LP as of December 31, 2015, are shown below. TETRA and CSI Compressco LP’s debt agreements are distinct and separate with no cross default provisions, no cross collateral provisions and no cross guarantees. Management believes that the most appropriate method to analyze the debt positions of each company is to view them separately, as noted below.

The following reconciliation of net debt is presented as a supplement to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines net debt as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management views net debt as a measure of TETRA's ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
