Editor's Notes
- #33 As David as discussed the economic outlook is somewhat uncertain. To combat this he refers to making money in your operations and focussing on your existing business as a profit driver vs. The development of new work or reliance on new projects. To be able to do this companies need to know their internal financial key performance indicators and other financial specifics of their business. These would include knowing margins, on jobs and field margins. Knowing what the split between the fixed and variable costs. These and other KPI’s would ideally be encompassed in internal monthly financials statements or other financial reports which allow for companies to make proper decisions based upon reliable information. The economic outlook David describes is not as daunting as the 2008 downturn; however one thing learned from that downturn is that the best way to recover from a downturn is to focus internally and make sure internal profits are maximized and that growth decisions are made strategically such that you do not become over leveraged or erode margins. At MNP we have worked with many companies to establish KPI’s, bench marks and develop monthly reporting packages. We have access to industry statistics and other benchmarks which will allow for you to gauge your financial strengths and weaknesses amongst your industry peers. One other significant balance on the income statement that reduces your cash flow and earnings are taxes. So it is important to always ensure you have the most efficient tax strategy to reduce this burden. At MNP we have worked with many companies to restructure things to streamline the structures for efficiency as well as reduce taxes. We have many strategic tax strategies which have been vetted by our tax partners and group.
- #34 The development and utilization of the financial information I just discussed is paramount to manoeuvring in an uncertain economy. However equally as important is the acknowledgment by your employees and team as to why decisions are being made. How many times have you heard that head office or the finance team does not understand things and they keep hammering us on capital or expenditures requirements. This happens routinely and if there is a disconnect between what the budgetary priorities are vs. the operational understanding then this may lead to conflicting actions in the field. Given this it is important that all employees have a base understanding of the Company’s outlook in the industry as well as a high level explanation for the short term or long term vision. There are also ways to incent employees to be part of the solution, by empowering them with budgets, financial rewards for hitting margin or other targets. One other option is to ensure that you have the lowest cost suppliers, which again can be pushed down as an initiative to the field staff such that they are aware that your company would like to challenge suppliers and ensure you have the lowest cost suppliers. This message however needs to also encompass that compromising quality or safety is not an option.
- #35 The previous few items focussed on improving margins and managing costs. One other big issue for most oil field service companies is the collection of cash from its customers. The quicker you get paid the quicker your company goals can be enacted. Also while your customer holds your money you may be utilizing an operating line which means you are paying interest and your customer is costing you money. Looking at your collection practices and seeing where things are redundant, or where things can be automated is critical to cash collections. The staff can also be empowered to be part of the solution and if you are able to do a cultural shift to have your teams believe the job is done when you get paid vs. when they leave the site this can result in a significant improvement to your cash flows.
- #36 In all states of the economy financial flexibility is critical; however this is heightened in soft economies. Banks may tighten up their lending strategies which make capital harder to obtain and other souring options may not be as aggressive in their lending strategies. Regardless of the economic state, companies should always be seeking the lowest costing capital. To do this financial information will be required and in some cases historical information and future forecast information will be needed. If a company is not ready to act on a finance lending solution then the opportunity to reduce capital costs may pass them by. In cases where you may want to sell or merge or buy a company. The question will be – are you ready for this? In all forms of merger and acquisitions financial records, reporting both historical and future will be critical to allow you act on these opportunities as they arise. This concept ties in nicely with the initial discussions on operational financial records. Adequate financial information not only affords better cost management and improved operational decision making but it also allows for better financial flexibility as financing and M&A opportunities arise.
- #37 Generally risk management in the oil fiend services industry is done by knowledge of the people, customers, and experience over the years. But formalizing this and communicating areas of weakness can reduce these risks and prevent situations of loss to your companies. One area is the credit risk of your customers. A lot of companies focus on utilization and revenue and do not necessarily pay to much attention to the financial ability of the company to pay. Eventually if a customer does not pay then they likely will be blacklisted; however how does your company prevent this ahead of time vs. learning the hard way? Another area of risk to most OFS companies is in relation to their tools, field assets or potentially fuel. In situations where cash management and monitoring of margins and costs is critical any leakage can have an impact on the company and if the risk of leakage is significant this could become a much larger issue for the company. In situations where the job went well, the bidding was adequate and you see that margins are not what you expected or costs are out of line. This is critical to understand for future bids, cost management etc; however a situation like this could be an indicator for the risk of leakage.
