GEOSPACE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated balance sheet of Geospace Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at  September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at  June 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows were made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company considers many factors in selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, credit loss, collectability of rental revenue, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves, product warranty reserves, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. While management believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents included $3.4 million held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and branch offices, including $2.0 million held by its subsidiary in the Russian Federation.  In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others on Russia, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but the Company may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all. In addition, if the Company were to repatriate the cash held by its Russian subsidiary, it would be required to accrue and pay taxes on any amount repatriated.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review, if necessary, includes a comparison of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by an asset group with the associated carrying value of the related assets. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, no events or changes in circumstances were identified indicating the carrying value of any of the Company's asset groups may not be recoverable.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance surrounding credit losses for financial instruments that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in generally accepted accounting principles. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.  Early adoption is permitted.  The guidance shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance improvements on income tax disclosure which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company will adopt this guidance in its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.  The guidance allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any material impact on its consolidation financial statements.

 

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective, are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

2. Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when performance of contractual obligations are satisfied, generally when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company primarily derives product revenue from the sale of its manufactured products. Revenue from these product sales, including the sale of used rental equipment, is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, control is transferred and collectability of the sales price is probable. The Company records deferred revenue when customer funds are received prior to shipment or delivery or performance has not yet occurred. The Company assesses collectability during the contract assessment phase. In situations where collectability of the sales price is not probable, the Company recognizes revenue when it determines that collectability is probable or when non-refundable cash is received from its customers and there is not a significant right of return. Transfer of control generally occurs with shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the underlying contract. The Company’s products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions, and the Company’s standard terms of sale do not allow customers to return products for credit.

 

Revenue from engineering services is recognized as services are rendered over the duration of a project, or as billed on a per hour basis. Field service revenue is recognized when services are rendered and is generally priced on a per day rate.

 

The Company also generates revenue from short-term rentals under operating leases of its manufactured products. Rental revenue is recognized as earned over the rental period if collectability of the rent is reasonably assured. Rentals of the Company’s equipment generally range from daily rentals to minimum rental periods of up to one year. The Company has determined that ASC 606 does not apply to rental contracts, which are within the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases.

 

As permissible under ASC 606, sales taxes and transaction-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, the Company expenses costs incurred to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities in a sales transaction after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised service. Accordingly, fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of goods are accrued at the time of shipment. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to reimbursable shipping and handling costs are included in revenue and the associated costs incurred by the Company for reimbursable shipping and handling expenses are reported in cost of revenue.

 

At June 30, 2024, the Company had no deferred contract liabilities and no deferred contract cost.  At September 30, 2023, the Company had deferred liabilities of $0.7 million and no deferred contract costs.  During the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue of $20,000 was recognized from deferred contract liabilities.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue $0.7 million was recognized from deferred contract liabilities.  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, no cost of revenue was recognized from deferred contract costs.  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, no revenue was recognized from deferred contract liabilities and no cost of revenue was recognized from deferred contract costs.  At June 30, 2024, all contracts had an original expected duration of one year or less.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized from contracts with customers satisfied over-time was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized from contracts with customers satisfied over-time was $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. All other revenue from contracts with customers was recognized at a point-in time.  Revenue satisfied over-time for all periods presented was from the Company's Emerging Markets operating segment.  For each of the Company’s operating segments, the following table presents revenue (in thousands) only from the sale of products and the performance of services under contracts with customers.  Therefore, the table excludes all revenue earned from rental contracts.

7. Rental Equipment

 

The Company leases equipment to customers which generally range from daily rentals to minimum rental periods of up to one year. All of the Company’s current leasing arrangements, which the Company acts as lessor, are classified as operating leases. The majority of the Company’s rental revenue is generated from its marine-based wireless seismic data acquisition systems.

 

The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease receivables on a lease-by-lease basis. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and other factors such as the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer and current economic conditions. The Company suspends revenue recognition when the collectability of amounts due are no longer probable and concurrently records a direct write-off of the lease receivable to rental revenue and limits future rental revenue recognition to cash received. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s trade accounts receivable included lease receivables of $2.9 million.

 

Rental revenue related to leased equipment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, was $5.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Rental revenue related to leased equipment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.9 million and $38.0 million, respectively.

 

Future minimum lease obligations due from the Company’s leasing customers on operating leases executed as of  June 30, 2024, were $3.6 million, all of which is expected to be due within the next 12 months.

 

Rental equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

  $16,907  $21,587 

 

 

 

8. Long-Term Debt

 

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“the Agreement”) with Woodforest National Bank, as sole lender.  The Agreement refinanced the Company's credit agreement dated May 6, 2022, with Amerisource Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and as a lender, and Woodforest National Bank, as a lender.  The Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maximum availability of $15 million.  Availability under the Agreement is determined based upon a borrowing base comprised of certain of the Company’s domestic assets which include (i) 80% of eligible accounts, plus (ii) 90% of eligible foreign insured accounts, plus (iii) 25% of eligible inventory plus (iv) 50% of the orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, in each case subject to certain limitations and adjustments.  Interest shall accrue on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a margin equal to 3.25% per annum.  The Company is required to make monthly interest payments on borrowed funds. The Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, except for certain excluded property. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum (i) consolidated tangible net worth of $100 million, (ii) liquidity of $5 million, and (iii) current ratio no less than 2.00 to 1.00, in each case tested quarterly. The Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a springing minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, tested quarterly whenever there is an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.  The Agreement expires in July 2025.  At June 30, 2024, the Company's borrowing availability under the Agreement was $14.9 million after consideration of a $0.1 million outstanding letter of credit. At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Agreement.  The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023.

 

 

 

9. Stock-Based Compensation

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 233,200 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The RSUs issued include both time-based and performance-based vesting provisions. The weighted average grant date fair value of each RSU was $12.26 per unit. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was $2.9 million, which will be charged to expense over the next four years as the restrictions lapse. Compensation expense for the RSUs was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant applied to the total number of units that are anticipated to fully vest. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting.

 

As of June 30, 2024, there were 412,770 RSUs outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $3.0 million relating to RSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next four years.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingent Compensation Costs

 

In connection with the acquisition of Aquana, LLC (“Aquana”) in July 2021, the Company is subject to additional contingent cash payments to the former members of Aquana over a six-year earn-out period. The contingent payments, if any, will be derived from certain eligible revenue generated during the earn-out period from products and services sold by Aquana. There is no maximum limit to the contingent cash payments that could be made. The merger agreement with Aquana requires the continued employment of a certain key employee and former member of Aquana for the first four years of the six year earn-out period in order for any of Aquana’s former members to be eligible for any earn-out payments. Due to the continued employment requirement, no liability has been recorded for the estimated fair value of earn-out payments for this transaction. Earn-outs achieved, if any, will be recorded as compensation expense when incurred.  No eligible revenue has been generated to date.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is involved in various pending legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, because of the inherent uncertainty of such actions. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13. Income Taxes

 

Consolidated income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 was $(2,000) and $0.1 million, respectively.  Consolidated income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.  The primary difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the statutory rate is adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

 

 

14. Risks and Uncertainties

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue from one customer of $1.3 million and $35.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenue recognized from this customer was $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2024, the Company had trade accounts receivable from this customer of $4.5 million.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted worldwide economic activity and continues to create challenges in the Company’s markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related mitigation measures have disrupted the Company’s supply chain, resulting in longer lead times in materials available from suppliers and extended the shipping time for these materials to reach the Company’s facilities. The occurrence or a resurgence of global or regional health events such as the COVID–19 pandemic, and the related government responses, could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.  As such, we continue to closely monitor COVID-19 and will continue to reassess our strategy and operational structure on a regular, ongoing basis.

 

Oil Commodity Price Levels

 

Demand for many of the Company’s products and the profitability of its operations depend primarily on the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. Prevailing oil and gas prices, with an emphasis on crude oil prices, and market expectations regarding potential changes in such prices significantly affect the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. During periods of improved energy commodity prices, the capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which results in increased demand for our customers services leading to increased demand in the Company’s products. Conversely, in periods when these energy commodity prices deteriorate, capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to contract causing demand for the Company’s products to weaken. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile and are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond its control. These factors include the level of consumer demand, regional and international economic conditions, weather conditions, domestic and foreign governmental regulations (including those related to climate change), price and availability of alternative fuels, political conditions, the war between Russia and Ukraine, instability and hostilities in the Middle East and other significant oil-producing regions, increases and decreases in the supply of oil and gas, the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures and the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC') to set and maintain production levels and prices of foreign imports.

 

Crude oil prices have stabilized over the past two years, which may result in higher cash flows for exploration and production companies. Any material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends, like slowing growth of the global economy, could adversely impact seismic exploration activity and would likely affect the demand for the Company's products and could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and liquidity.

 

Generally, imbalances in the supply and demand for oil and gas will affect oil and gas prices and, in such circumstances, demand for the Company’s oil and gas products may be adversely affected when world supplies exceed demand.

Armed Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine

 

A portion of the Company's oil and gas product manufacturing is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Geospace Technologies Eurasia LLC ("GTE"), which is based in the Russian Federation. In February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, and Russia and Ukraine continue to engage in active and armed conflict. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions in addition to any direct impact on the Company's operations in Russia. As a result of the invasion, the governments of several western nations, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union, implemented new and/or expanded economic sanctions and export restrictions against Russia, Russian-backed separatist regions in Ukraine, certain banks, companies, government officials, and other individuals in Russia and Belarus. The implementation of these sanctions and exports restrictions, in combination with the withdrawal of numerous private companies from the Russian market, has had, and is likely to continue to have, a negative impact on the Company's business in the region. During fiscal year 2023, the Company imported $3.8 million of products from GTE for resale elsewhere in the world and since then has imported $2.5 million of products during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. The rapid changes in rules and implementation of new rules on imports and exports of goods involving Russia has also led to material delays in getting goods to or from Russia as port authorities struggle to keep up with the changing environment. If imports of these products from the Russian Federation are restricted by government regulation, the Company may be forced to find other sources for the manufacturing of these products at potentially higher costs. Likewise, restrictions on the Company's ability to send products to GTE, may force our subsidiary to have to find other sources for the manufacturing of these products at potentially higher costs.  However, the Company's exports to GTE have historically been limited. Boycotts, protests, unfavorable regulations, additional governmental sanctions and other actions in the region could also adversely affect the Company's ability to operate profitably. Delays in obtaining governmental approvals can affect the Company's ability to timely deliver its products pursuant to contractual obligations, which could result in the Company being liable to its customers for damages. The risk of doing business in the Russian Federation and other economically or politically volatile areas could adversely affect the Company's operations and earnings. It is possible that increasing sanctions, export controls, restrictions on access to financial institutions, supply and transportation challenges, or other circumstances or considerations could necessitate a reduction, or even discontinuation, of operations by GTE or other business in Russia.

 

The Company is actively monitoring the situation in Ukraine and Russia and assessing its impact on its business, including GTE. The net carrying value of GTE on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2024, was $6.0 million, including cash of $2.0 million. In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others on Russia, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but we may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all. In addition to the products the Company imported from GTE, the subsidiary generated $1.8 million in revenue from domestic sales in fiscal year 2023, and has generated $2.6 million from domestic sales during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. The Company has no way to predict the duration, progress or outcome of the military conflict in Ukraine. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and the Company's business for an unknown period of time.

Business Overview

 

Unless otherwise specified, the discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to Geospace Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries. We principally design and manufacture seismic instruments and equipment. These seismic products are marketed to the oil and gas industry and used to locate, characterize and monitor hydrocarbon producing reservoirs. We also market our seismic products to other industries for vibration monitoring, border and perimeter security and various geotechnical applications. We design and manufacture other products of a non-seismic nature, including water meter products, imaging equipment, remote shutoff water valves and Internet of Things ("IoT") platform and provide contract manufacturing services. We report and categorize our customers and products into three different segments: Oil and Gas Markets, Adjacent Markets and Emerging Markets. In recent years, the revenue contribution from our Adjacent Markets segment has grown to represent nearly half of our total revenue, which is reflective of our diversification strategy.

 

Demand for our seismic products targeted at customers in our Oil and Gas Markets segment has been, and will likely continue to be, vulnerable to downturns in the economy and the oil and gas industry in general. For more information, please refer to the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Products and Product Development

 

Oil and Gas Markets

 

Our Oil and Gas Markets business segment has historically accounted for the majority of our revenue. Geoscientists use seismic data primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves to map potential and known hydrocarbon bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. This segment’s products include wireless seismic data acquisition systems, reservoir characterization products and services, and traditional seismic exploration products such as geophones, hydrophones, leader wire, connectors, cables, marine streamer retrieval and steering devices and various other seismic products. We believe that our Oil and Gas Markets products are among the most technologically advanced instruments and equipment available for seismic data acquisition.

 

Traditional Products

 

An energy source and a data recording system are combined to acquire seismic data. We provide many of the components of seismic data recording systems, including geophones, hydrophones, multi-component sensors, leader wire, geophone strings, connectors, seismic telemetry cables and other seismic related products. On land, our customers use geophones, leader wire, cables and connectors to receive and measure seismic reflections resulting from an energy source into data recording units, which store the seismic information for subsequent processing and analysis. In the marine environment, large ocean-going vessels tow long seismic cables known as “streamers” containing hydrophones that are used to detect pressure changes. Hydrophones transmit electrical impulses back to the vessel’s data recording unit where the seismic data is stored for subsequent processing and analysis. Our marine seismic products also help steer streamers while being towed and help recover streamers if they become disconnected from the vessel.

 

Our seismic sensor, cable and connector products are compatible with most major competitive seismic data acquisition systems currently in use. Revenue from these products results primarily from seismic contractors purchasing our products as components of new seismic data acquisition systems or to repair and replace components of seismic data acquisition systems already in use.

 

Wireless Products

 

We have developed multiple versions of a land-based wireless (or nodal) seismic data acquisition system. Rather than utilizing interconnecting cables as required by most traditional land data acquisition systems, each of our wireless stations operate as an independent data collection system, allowing for virtually unlimited channel configurations. As a result, our wireless systems require less maintenance, which we believe allows our customers to operate more effectively and efficiently because of its reduced environmental impact, lower weight and ease of operation. Each wireless station is available in a single-channel or three-channel configuration.

 

We have also developed a marine-based wireless seismic data acquisition system called the OBX, and recently released Mariner™.  Similar to our land-based wireless systems, these marine wireless systems may be deployed in virtually unlimited channel configurations and do not require interconnecting cables between each station. We have two versions of OBX nodal stations: a shallow water version that can be used in depths up to 750 meters and a deepwater version that can be deployed in depths of up to 3,450 meters.  Through June 30, 2024, we have sold 14,000 OBX stations and we currently have 27,000 OBX stations in our rental fleet.  The Mariner™ is a continuous, cable-free, four channel autonomous, shallow water ocean bottom recorder.  Mariner™ is the next generation node designed for extended duration seabed ocean bottom seismic data acquisition. The slim profile nodes, which are part of our shallow water stations, are ideally deployed as deep as 750 meters. The device continuously records for up to 70 days and offers more rapid recharging times.  Its slim profile creates space savings on seismic survey vessels, allowing contractors to fit up to 25% more nodes into a download/charge container.  Through June 30, 2024, we have sold 7,600 Mariner™ nodes.

 

Reservoir Products

 

Seismic surveys repeated over selected time intervals show dynamic changes within a producing oil and gas reservoir, and operators can use these surveys to monitor the effects of oil and gas development and production. This type of reservoir monitoring requires special purpose or custom designed systems in which portability becomes less critical and functional reliability assumes greater importance. This reliability factor helps assure successful operations in inaccessible locations over a considerable period of time. Additionally, reservoirs located in deep water or harsh environments require special instrumentation and new techniques to maximize recovery. Reservoir monitoring also requires high-bandwidth, high-resolution seismic data for engineering project planning and reservoir management. Utilizing these reservoir monitoring tools, producers can enhance the recovery of oil and gas deposits over the life of a reservoir.

 

We have developed permanently installed high-definition reservoir monitoring systems for land and ocean-bottom applications in producing oil and gas fields. Our electrical reservoir monitoring systems are currently installed on numerous offshore reservoirs in the North Sea and elsewhere. Through our acquisition of the OptoSeis® fiber optic sensing technology, we now offer both electrical and fiber optic reservoir monitoring systems. These high-definition seismic data acquisition systems have a flexible architecture allowing them to be configured as a subsurface system for both land and marine reservoir-monitoring projects. The scalable architecture of these systems enables custom designed configuration for applications ranging from low-channel engineering and environmental-scale surveys requiring a minimum number of recording channels to high-channel surveys required to efficiently conduct permanent reservoir monitoring (“PRM”). The modular architecture of these products allows virtually unlimited channel expansion for these systems.

 

In the spring of 2023, we released a derivative of the OptoSeis® technology for high temperature downhole applications.  The product known as Insight by OptoSeis offers a passive, all-optical downhole sensor network - no electronics downhole - resulting in years long operational lifetime at 150 °C.

 

In addition, we produce seismic borehole acquisition systems that employ a fiber optic augmented wireline capable of very high data transmission rates. These systems are used for several reservoir monitoring applications, including an application pioneered by us allowing operators and service companies to monitor and measure the results of hydraulic fracturing operations.

 

We believe our reservoir characterization products make seismic acquisition a cost-effective and reliable process for reservoir monitoring. Our multi-component seismic product developments also include an omni-directional geophone for use in reservoir monitoring, a compact marine three-component or four-component gimbaled sensor and special-purpose connectors, connector arrays and cases.

 

We have maintained active discussions with multiple potential clients for future PRM systems.  In July 2024, we received requests for bids on Front-End Engineering and Design studies from a major oil and gas producer issued ahead of PRM tenders that may follow.  These are multistage, large-scale opportunities.  We have not received any orders for a large-scale seabed PRM system since November 2012.

 

Adjacent Markets

 

Our Adjacent Markets businesses leverage upon existing manufacturing facilities and engineering capabilities utilized by our Oil and Gas Markets businesses. Many of the seismic products in our Oil and Gas Markets segment, with little or no modification, have direct application to other industries.

 

Our business diversification strategy has centered largely on translating expertise in ruggedized engineering and manufacturing into expanded customer markets. To bolster the solid market share we have established in the water utility market for water meter cables, in fiscal year 2021, we acquired the smart water IoT company, Aquana.

 

Industrial Products

 

Our industrial products include water meter products, remote shut-off water valves and IoT Platform, contract manufacturing services and seismic sensors used for vibration monitoring.

 

Our water meter products support the global smart meter connectivity water utility market. Our products provide our customers with highly reliable automated meter-reading and automated meter infrastructure with our robust water-proof connectors. Our field splice kits allow for accelerated repairs once identified.

 

Our remote disconnect values and water IoT platform allows customers that manage multi-family and commercial properties to monitor their properties for leak and burst events, with real-time notifications, complimented with our remote-shut off to stop water damage. These products also allow water utilities to control and monitor water use remotely, discontinue or limit service without placing its employees in potential harm or danger.

 

Our robust manufacturing capabilities have allowed us to provide specialized contract manufacturing services for printed circuit board manufacturing, cabling and harnesses, machining, injection molding and electronic system assembly.

 

16

 

Our seismic sensors provide unique high definition, low frequency sensing that allows for vibration monitoring in industrial machinery, mine safety and earthquake detection.

 

Imaging Products

 

Our imaging products include electronic pre-press products that employ direct thermal imaging, direct-to-screen printing systems, and digital inkjet printing technologies targeted at the commercial graphics, industrial graphics, textile and flexographic printing industries.

 

Emerging Markets

 

Our Emerging Markets business segment consists entirely of our Quantum business. Quantum’s product line includes a proprietary detection system called SADAR®, which detects, locates and tracks items of interest in real-time. Using the SADAR® technology, Quantum designs and sells products used for border and perimeter security surveillance, cross-border tunneling detection and other products targeted at movement monitoring, intrusion detection and situational awareness. SADAR's technology also provides passive seismic real-time monitoring in emerging energy applications such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal energy. Quantum's customers include various agencies of the U.S. government including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies as well as energy companies needing real-time monitoring of seismic data.

Overview

 

Although in an already depressed oil and gas industry, demand further decreased in February 2020, because of the oversupply of crude oil due to failed OPEC negotiations that led to a dramatic drop in crude oil prices when combined with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These declines in the demand for oil and gas have caused oil and gas exploration and production companies to experience a significant reduction in cash flows, which have resulted in reductions in their capital spending budgets for oil and gas exploration-focused activities, including seismic data acquisition activities. Crude oil prices have stabilized over the past two years; however, a lag in time typically occurs between higher oil prices and greater demand for our Oil and Gas Markets segment products. We believe this lag is the result of exploration and production (“E&P”) companies allocating their cash flow towards shareholder reward initiatives, such as stock buy-back programs and dividend payments, or in debt reduction. We believe this lag is a short-term trend that will continue until E&P companies decide to reinvest capital into exploration activities. As this lag persists, we expect the reduced levels of demand for our Oil and Gas Markets segment products. We also expect our land-based traditional and wireless products will continue to experience low levels of product demand until our customers consume their excess levels of underutilized equipment. As discussed below, we had a $30 million wireless product sale to a customer in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.  However, we do not currently anticipate another product sale this large for the remainder of fiscal year 2024.

 

In light of current market conditions, the inventory balances in our Oil and Gas Markets business segment at June 30, 2024 continued to exceed levels we consider appropriate for the current level of product demand. We are continuing to work aggressively to reduce these legacy inventory balances; however, we are also adding new inventories for new wireless product developments and for other product demand in our Adjacent Markets segment. During periods of excessive inventory levels, our policy has been, and will continue to be, to record obsolescence expense as we experience reduced product demand and as our inventories continue to age. Although the Oil and Gas Markets segment is seeing a recovery after experiencing difficult market conditions, we have been recording additional expenses for inventory obsolescence and will continue to do so in the future until product demand and/or resulting inventory turnover return to acceptable levels.

Armed Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine

 

A portion of our oil and gas product manufacturing is conducted by Geospace Technologies Eurasia LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary based in the Russian Federation. Consequently, our oil and gas business could be directly affected by the current war between Russia and Ukraine. See Note 14 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted worldwide economic activity and continues to create challenges in our markets.  The COVID-19 pandemic and the related mitigation measures have disrupted our supply chain, resulting in longer lead times in materials available from suppliers and extended shipping time for these materials to reach our facilities.  The occurrence or resurgence of global or regional health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the related government responses, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.  As such, we will continue to closely monitor COVID-19 and will continue to reassess our strategy and operational structure on a regular, ongoing basis.

 

Three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023

 

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $25.9 million, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 21.0%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rental revenue due to lower utilization of our OBX rental fleet.  Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was $100.2 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 5.2%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase was largely due to a $30.0 million sale of our Mariner™ shallow water ocean bottom nodes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, which replaced a rental contract with the customer. We do not expect another product sale this large for the remainder of fiscal year 2024.  The increase was largely offset by a decrease in rental revenue due to lower utilization of our OBX rental fleet.

 

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024,was $8.5 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 39.0%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to decrease in utilization of our OBX rental fleet.  Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2024,was $36.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2.2%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to (i) the decrease in utilization of our OBX rental fleet and (ii) a higher warranty accrual, primarily related to the Mariner™ sale.  The decrease was largely offset offset by gross profit on our Mariner™ sale in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

 

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024,were $10.9 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing costs, primarily personnel costs.  Consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2024,were $30.7 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2.6%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel costs attributable to our workforce reduction in first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which included $0.4 million in employee termination costs. 

 

In February 2023, we sold our property located at 7310 Langfield in Houston, Texas for a cash sales price of $3.7 million, net of closing costs of $0.3 million.  We recognized a gain of $1.3 million from the sale in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. 

 

Consolidated other income for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, was $0.3 million. Consolidated other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.5 million, compared to $0.8 million from the corresponding period of the prior year.  The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was principally due to net foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by an increase in interest income attributable to short-term investments.  

 

Segment Results of Operations

 

Oil and Gas Markets

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from our Oil and Gas Markets products for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $8.5 million, or 48.1%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Revenue from our Oil and Gas Markets products for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, increased $3.7 million, or 6.6%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The components of these changes were as follows:

 

 

Traditional Exploration Product Revenue – For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our traditional products decreased $1.4 million, or 40.4%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our traditional products decreased $2.2 million, or 23.1%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease for both periods was primarily due to a decrease in demand for our sensor and marine products.

 

 

Wireless Exploration Product Revenue – For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our wireless exploration products decreased $6.8 million, or 49.4%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rental revenue due to lower utilization of our OBX rental fleet.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our wireless exploration products increased $6.4 million, or 13.9%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase was primarily due to a $30.0 million sale of our Mariner™ shallow water ocean bottom nodes, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, which replaced a rental contract with the customer.  The increase was partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue attributable to lower utilization of our OBX rental fleet. 

 

Operating Income (Loss)

 

Operating income (loss) associated with our Oil and Gas Markets products for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $(2.3) million, a decrease of $5.5 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to lower wireless rental revenue and related gross profits due to a decrease in the utilization of our OBX rental fleet.  Operating income associated with our Oil and Gas Markets products for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was $9.1 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower wireless rental revenue and related gross profits due to a decrease in the utilization of our OBX rental fleet.  The decrease was partially offset by higher gross profits on wireless product sales, primarily related to the Mariner™ sale in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Adjacent Markets

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from our Adjacent Markets products for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $1.1 million, or 7.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Revenue from our Adjacent Markets products for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $0.4 million, or 1.0%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The components of these changes was as follows:

 

 

Industrial Product Revenue and Services – For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our industrial products increased $1.3 million, or 11.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase for the three months ended  June 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in demand for our water meter products, partially offset by a decrease in demand for our contract manufacturing services.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our industrial products decreased $0.8 million, or 2.6%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower demand for both our water meter products and contract manufacturing services.

 

 

Imaging Product Revenue – For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our imaging products decreased $0.2 million, or 7.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower demand for our imaging equipment, For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue from our imaging products increased $0.4 million, or 4.2%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to higher demand for our film products, partially offset by lower demand for our imaging equipment.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income from our Adjacent Markets products for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $4.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.2%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to (i) the increase in revenue and (ii) gross margin improvements from fully absorbing our fixed overhead.  Operating income from our Adjacent Markets products for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 3.7%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in operating income for nine months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the gross margin improvements.  The increase in operating income for both periods was partially offset by higher research and development expense.

 

Emerging Markets

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from our Emerging Markets products was $0.6 million for three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.1 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  Revenue from our Emerging Markets products was $2.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.4 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in revenue for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to revenue recognized on a $1.5 million government contract.  No further revenue is expected on this contract.

 

Operating Loss

 

Operating loss from our Emerging Markets products for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $1.1 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 9.6%, from the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating loss for the three months June 30, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit caused by cost overruns on our $1.5 million government contract. Operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was $2.4 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 25.8%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower personnel costs attributable to our workforce reduction in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2024, we had $42.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we used $7.5 million of cash from operating activities.  These uses of cash included a (i) $5.8 million increase in inventories for the strategic purchase of long lead components needed for use in wireless products, valves and contract manufacturing, (ii) $3.0 million decrease in other liabilities due to the return of customer deposits and lower accrued employee compensation costs, partially offset by an increase in our product warranty accrual and (iii) $1.4 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments to our suppliers. These uses of cash were partially offset by our net income of $6.3 million and net non-cash charges of $12.1 million resulting from deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, inventory obsolescence, stock-based compensation and provision for credit losses.  Other sources of cash included a (i) $5.2 million decrease in trade accounts and notes receivable primarily due to the timing of collections from customers and (ii) $0.2 million decrease in other assets.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we generated cash of $3.9 million in investing activities. Sources of cash primarily consisted of $30.9 million of proceeds from the sale of rental equipment.  Uses of cash included (i) $15.3 million in purchases of short-term investments, net, (ii) $8.2 million for additions to our equipment rental fleet and (iii) $3.6 million for additions to our property, plant and equipment.  We expect cash investments into our rental fleet will be approximately $12 million in fiscal year 2024.  We expect our cash investments in our property, plant and equipment will be approximately $5 million in fiscal year 2024.  Our capital expenditures are expected to be funded from our cash on hand, cash flows, including cash flows from rental contracts or, if necessary, borrowings under our new credit agreement.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we used $3.0 million from financing activities for the purchase of treasury stock pursuant to a stock buy-back program authorized by our board of directors.  The program authorizes us to repurchase up to $5 million of our common stock in open market transactions.  At June 30, 2024, $2 million of our common stock remains available for repurchases under the program.

 

Our available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $42.5 million at June 30, 2024, which included $3.4 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices, of which $2.0 million was held by our subsidiary in the Russian Federation. In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries on the Russian Federation, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but we may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all.  In addition, if we were to repatriate the cash held by our Russian subsidiary, we would be required to accrue and pay taxes on any amount repatriated.

 

On July 26, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (“the Agreement”) with Woodforest National Bank, as sole lender.  The Agreement refinanced our credit agreement dated May 6, 2022, with Amerisource Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and as a lender, and Woodforest National Bank, as a lender.  The Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maximum availability of $15 million.  Availability under the Agreement is determined based upon a borrowing base comprised of certain of our domestic assets which include (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 90% of eligible foreign insured accounts, plus (iii) 25% of eligible inventory plus (iv) 50% of the orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, in each case subject to certain limitations and adjustments.  Interest shall accrue on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a margin equal to 3.25% per annum.  We are required to make monthly interest payments on borrowed funds. The Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets, except for certain excluded property.  The Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum (i) consolidated tangible net worth of $100 million, (ii) liquidity of $5 million, and (iii) current ratio no less than 2.00 to 1.00, in each case tested quarterly. The Agreement also requires us to maintain a springing minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, tested quarterly whenever there is an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.  The Agreement expires in July 2025.

 

At June 30, 2024 we had no outstanding borrowings under the Agreement and our borrowing base availability under the Agreement was $14.9 million after consideration of a $0.1 million outstanding letter of credit. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Agreement.   We do not currently anticipate the need to borrow under the Agreement, however, we may decide to do so in the future, if needed.

 

Our total available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased $8.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, largely due to the collection of an account receivable related to our first quarter 2024 Mariner™ sale.  In the absence of future profitable results of operations, we may need to rely on other sources of liquidity to fund our future operations, including executed rental contracts, available borrowings under the Agreement through its expiration in July 2025, leveraging real estate assets, sales of rental assets and other liquidity sources which may be available to us. We currently believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to finance any future operating losses and planned capital expenditures through the next twelve months.

 

We do not have any obligations which meet the definition of an off-balance sheet arrangement and which have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial statements or the items contained therein that are material to investors.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Contingent Compensation Costs

 

In connection with the acquisition of Aquana in July 2021, we are subject to additional contingent cash payments to the former members of Aquana over a six-year earn-out period. The contingent payments, if any, will be derived from certain eligible revenue generated during the earn-out period from products and services sold by Aquana. There is no maximum limit to the contingent cash payments that could be made. The merger agreement with Aquana requires the continued employment of a certain key employee and former member of Aquana for the first four years of the six year earn-out period for any of Aquana’s former members to be eligible to any earn-out payments. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, due to the continued employment requirement, no liability has been recorded for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out payments for this transaction. Earn-outs achieved, if any, will be recorded as compensation expense when incurred.

 

See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our contractual contingencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within our Company and consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in our reports.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, as of June 30, 2024, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated balance sheet of Geospace Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at  September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at  June 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows were made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company considers many factors in selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, credit loss, collectability of rental revenue, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves, product warranty reserves, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. While management believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents included $3.4 million held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and branch offices, including $2.0 million held by its subsidiary in the Russian Federation.  In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others on Russia, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but the Company may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all. In addition, if the Company were to repatriate the cash held by its Russian subsidiary, it would be required to accrue and pay taxes on any amount repatriated.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review, if necessary, includes a comparison of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by an asset group with the associated carrying value of the related assets. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, no events or changes in circumstances were identified indicating the carrying value of any of the Company's asset groups may not be recoverable.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance surrounding credit losses for financial instruments that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in generally accepted accounting principles. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.  Early adoption is permitted.  The guidance shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance improvements on income tax disclosure which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company will adopt this guidance in its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.  The guidance allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any material impact on its consolidation financial statements.

 

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective, are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

2. Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when performance of contractual obligations are satisfied, generally when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company primarily derives product revenue from the sale of its manufactured products. Revenue from these product sales, including the sale of used rental equipment, is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, control is transferred and collectability of the sales price is probable. The Company records deferred revenue when customer funds are received prior to shipment or delivery or performance has not yet occurred. The Company assesses collectability during the contract assessment phase. In situations where collectability of the sales price is not probable, the Company recognizes revenue when it determines that collectability is probable or when non-refundable cash is received from its customers and there is not a significant right of return. Transfer of control generally occurs with shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the underlying contract. The Company’s products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions, and the Company’s standard terms of sale do not allow customers to return products for credit.

 

Revenue from engineering services is recognized as services are rendered over the duration of a project, or as billed on a per hour basis. Field service revenue is recognized when services are rendered and is generally priced on a per day rate.

 

The Company also generates revenue from short-term rentals under operating leases of its manufactured products. Rental revenue is recognized as earned over the rental period if collectability of the rent is reasonably assured. Rentals of the Company’s equipment generally range from daily rentals to minimum rental periods of up to one year. The Company has determined that ASC 606 does not apply to rental contracts, which are within the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases.

 

As permissible under ASC 606, sales taxes and transaction-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, the Company expenses costs incurred to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities in a sales transaction after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised service. Accordingly, fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of goods are accrued at the time of shipment. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to reimbursable shipping and handling costs are included in revenue and the associated costs incurred by the Company for reimbursable shipping and handling expenses are reported in cost of revenue.

 

At June 30, 2024, the Company had no deferred contract liabilities and no deferred contract cost.  At September 30, 2023, the Company had deferred liabilities of $0.7 million and no deferred contract costs.  During the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue of $20,000 was recognized from deferred contract liabilities.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, revenue $0.7 million was recognized from deferred contract liabilities.  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, no cost of revenue was recognized from deferred contract costs.  During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, no revenue was recognized from deferred contract liabilities and no cost of revenue was recognized from deferred contract costs.  At June 30, 2024, all contracts had an original expected duration of one year or less.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized from contracts with customers satisfied over-time was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized from contracts with customers satisfied over-time was $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. All other revenue from contracts with customers was recognized at a point-in time.  Revenue satisfied over-time for all periods presented was from the Company's Emerging Markets operating segment.  For each of the Company’s operating segments, the following table presents revenue (in thousands) only from the sale of products and the performance of services under contracts with customers.  Therefore, the table excludes all revenue earned from rental contracts.

The Company leases equipment to customers which generally range from daily rentals to minimum rental periods of up to one year. All of the Company’s current leasing arrangements, which the Company acts as lessor, are classified as operating leases. The majority of the Company’s rental revenue is generated from its marine-based wireless seismic data acquisition systems.

 

The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease receivables on a lease-by-lease basis. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and other factors such as the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer and current economic conditions. The Company suspends revenue recognition when the collectability of amounts due are no longer probable and concurrently records a direct write-off of the lease receivable to rental revenue and limits future rental revenue recognition to cash received. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s trade accounts receivable included lease receivables of $2.9 million.

 

Rental revenue related to leased equipment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, was $5.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Rental revenue related to leased equipment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.9 million and $38.0 million, respectively.

 

Future minimum lease obligations due from the Company’s leasing customers on operating leases executed as of  June 30, 2024, were $3.6 million, all of which is expected to be due within the next 12 months.

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“the Agreement”) with Woodforest National Bank, as sole lender.  The Agreement refinanced the Company's credit agreement dated May 6, 2022, with Amerisource Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and as a lender, and Woodforest National Bank, as a lender.  The Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maximum availability of $15 million.  Availability under the Agreement is determined based upon a borrowing base comprised of certain of the Company’s domestic assets which include (i) 80% of eligible accounts, plus (ii) 90% of eligible foreign insured accounts, plus (iii) 25% of eligible inventory plus (iv) 50% of the orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, in each case subject to certain limitations and adjustments.  Interest shall accrue on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus a margin equal to 3.25% per annum.  The Company is required to make monthly interest payments on borrowed funds. The Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, except for certain excluded property. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum (i) consolidated tangible net worth of $100 million, (ii) liquidity of $5 million, and (iii) current ratio no less than 2.00 to 1.00, in each case tested quarterly. The Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a springing minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, tested quarterly whenever there is an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.  The Agreement expires in July 2025.  At June 30, 2024, the Company's borrowing availability under the Agreement was $14.9 million after consideration of a $0.1 million outstanding letter of credit. At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Agreement.  The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 233,200 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The RSUs issued include both time-based and performance-based vesting provisions. The weighted average grant date fair value of each RSU was $12.26 per unit. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was $2.9 million, which will be charged to expense over the next four years as the restrictions lapse. Compensation expense for the RSUs was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant applied to the total number of units that are anticipated to fully vest. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting.

 

As of June 30, 2024, there were 412,770 RSUs outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $3.0 million relating to RSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next four years.

Contingent Compensation Costs

 

In connection with the acquisition of Aquana, LLC (“Aquana”) in July 2021, the Company is subject to additional contingent cash payments to the former members of Aquana over a six-year earn-out period. The contingent payments, if any, will be derived from certain eligible revenue generated during the earn-out period from products and services sold by Aquana. There is no maximum limit to the contingent cash payments that could be made. The merger agreement with Aquana requires the continued employment of a certain key employee and former member of Aquana for the first four years of the six year earn-out period in order for any of Aquana’s former members to be eligible for any earn-out payments. Due to the continued employment requirement, no liability has been recorded for the estimated fair value of earn-out payments for this transaction. Earn-outs achieved, if any, will be recorded as compensation expense when incurred.  No eligible revenue has been generated to date.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is involved in various pending legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, because of the inherent uncertainty of such actions. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. Risks and Uncertainties

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue from one customer of $1.3 million and $35.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, revenue recognized from this customer was $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.  As of June 30, 2024, the Company had trade accounts receivable from this customer of $4.5 million.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted worldwide economic activity and continues to create challenges in the Company’s markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related mitigation measures have disrupted the Company’s supply chain, resulting in longer lead times in materials available from suppliers and extended the shipping time for these materials to reach the Company’s facilities. The occurrence or a resurgence of global or regional health events such as the COVID–19 pandemic, and the related government responses, could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.  As such, we continue to closely monitor COVID-19 and will continue to reassess our strategy and operational structure on a regular, ongoing basis.

 

Oil Commodity Price Levels

 

Demand for many of the Company’s products and the profitability of its operations depend primarily on the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. Prevailing oil and gas prices, with an emphasis on crude oil prices, and market expectations regarding potential changes in such prices significantly affect the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. During periods of improved energy commodity prices, the capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which results in increased demand for our customers services leading to increased demand in the Company’s products. Conversely, in periods when these energy commodity prices deteriorate, capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to contract causing demand for the Company’s products to weaken. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile and are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond its control. These factors include the level of consumer demand, regional and international economic conditions, weather conditions, domestic and foreign governmental regulations (including those related to climate change), price and availability of alternative fuels, political conditions, the war between Russia and Ukraine, instability and hostilities in the Middle East and other significant oil-producing regions, increases and decreases in the supply of oil and gas, the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures and the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC') to set and maintain production levels and prices of foreign imports.

 

Crude oil prices have stabilized over the past two years, which may result in higher cash flows for exploration and production companies. Any material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends, like slowing growth of the global economy, could adversely impact seismic exploration activity and would likely affect the demand for the Company's products and could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and liquidity.

 

Generally, imbalances in the supply and demand for oil and gas will affect oil and gas prices and, in such circumstances, demand for the Company’s oil and gas products may be adversely affected when world supplies exceed demand.

 

Armed Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine

 

A portion of the Company's oil and gas product manufacturing is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Geospace Technologies Eurasia LLC ("GTE"), which is based in the Russian Federation. In February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, and Russia and Ukraine continue to engage in active and armed conflict. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions in addition to any direct impact on the Company's operations in Russia. As a result of the invasion, the governments of several western nations, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union, implemented new and/or expanded economic sanctions and export restrictions against Russia, Russian-backed separatist regions in Ukraine, certain banks, companies, government officials, and other individuals in Russia and Belarus. The implementation of these sanctions and exports restrictions, in combination with the withdrawal of numerous private companies from the Russian market, has had, and is likely to continue to have, a negative impact on the Company's business in the region. During fiscal year 2023, the Company imported $3.8 million of products from GTE for resale elsewhere in the world and since then has imported $2.5 million of products during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. The rapid changes in rules and implementation of new rules on imports and exports of goods involving Russia has also led to material delays in getting goods to or from Russia as port authorities struggle to keep up with the changing environment. If imports of these products from the Russian Federation are restricted by government regulation, the Company may be forced to find other sources for the manufacturing of these products at potentially higher costs. Likewise, restrictions on the Company's ability to send products to GTE, may force our subsidiary to have to find other sources for the manufacturing of these products at potentially higher costs.  However, the Company's exports to GTE have historically been limited. Boycotts, protests, unfavorable regulations, additional governmental sanctions and other actions in the region could also adversely affect the Company's ability to operate profitably. Delays in obtaining governmental approvals can affect the Company's ability to timely deliver its products pursuant to contractual obligations, which could result in the Company being liable to its customers for damages. The risk of doing business in the Russian Federation and other economically or politically volatile areas could adversely affect the Company's operations and earnings. It is possible that increasing sanctions, export controls, restrictions on access to financial institutions, supply and transportation challenges, or other circumstances or considerations could necessitate a reduction, or even discontinuation, of operations by GTE or other business in Russia.

 

The Company is actively monitoring the situation in Ukraine and Russia and assessing its impact on its business, including GTE. The net carrying value of GTE on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2024, was $6.0 million, including cash of $2.0 million. In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others on Russia, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but we may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all. In addition to the products the Company imported from GTE, the subsidiary generated $1.8 million in revenue from domestic sales in fiscal year 2023, and has generated $2.6 million from domestic sales during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. The Company has no way to predict the duration, progress or outcome of the military conflict in Ukraine. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and the Company's business for an unknown period of time.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated balance sheet of Geospace Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at  September 30, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at  June 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows were made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company considers many factors in selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, credit loss, collectability of rental revenue, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves, product warranty reserves, useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. While management believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents included $3.4 million held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and branch offices, including $2.0 million held by its subsidiary in the Russian Federation.  In response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and others on Russia, the Russian government has imposed restrictions on companies' abilities to repatriate or otherwise remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. As a result, this cash can be used in our Russian operations, but the Company may be unable to transfer it out of Russia without incurring substantial costs, if at all. In addition, if the Company were to repatriate the cash held by its Russian subsidiary, it would be required to accrue and pay taxes on any amount repatriated.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review, if necessary, includes a comparison of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by an asset group with the associated carrying value of the related assets. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, no events or changes in circumstances were identified indicating the carrying value of any of the Company's asset groups may not be recoverable.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance surrounding credit losses for financial instruments that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in generally accepted accounting principles. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.  Early adoption is permitted.  The guidance shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance improvements on income tax disclosure which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company will adopt this guidance in its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.  The guidance allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any material impact on its consolidation financial statements.

 

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective, are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
