ION Geophysical Corporation Files For Bankruptcy Protection - Sell

Company files for bankruptcy protection to restructure almost $150 million in debt after a multi-month review of strategic alternatives failed to yield tangible results. Under the terms of the restructuring support agreement, holders of the company's new second lien notes due 2025 will own 99.75% of the new equity. Current equityholders will be allocated a measly 0.25% of the restructured company, still subject to dilution by the management incentive plan. Downside in the common shares calculates to 98%. Unfortunately, sky-high borrowing rates, elevated margin requirements and some uncertainties related to the ongoing marketing process are likely to keep investors sidelined. Existing equityholders should sell their positions and move on ahead of the shares' expected delisting from the NYSE next week.

ION Geophysical Corporation: Stock Craters After Reports Of Upcoming Chapter 11 Filing

Stock takes a beating after reports of the company looking to sell itself in a court-supervised auction emerged. Last month, the company missed an aggregate $12.3 million in bond principal and interest payments. The company has entered into forbearance agreements with lenders which are scheduled to expire on February 15. A sale of the business under chapter 11 is unlikely to generate sufficient proceeds to repay creditors, which would result in equityholders being wiped out. Investors should consider selling existing positions and moving on. Even after Thursday's sell-off, a short position could still yield decent gains.

ION Geophysical Corporation: Pre-Packaged Bankruptcy Likely After Missed Debt Payments

ION suffers from ongoing weak seismic data customer demand in its core offshore oil and gas segment. Last week, the company missed an aggregate $12.3 million in bond principal and interest payments ahead of a likely comprehensive debt restructuring. Language used in the recent 8-K hints at a pre-packaged chapter 11 filing. Should the company indeed file for bankruptcy, existing equity holders are unlikely to receive a meaningful recovery given the sheer amount of debt ranking ahead of them. Investors should consider selling existing positions and moving on. Even a short position could still yield decent gains.

ION Geophysical Corporation - Review Of Strategic Alternatives Is A Cause For Concern

Company suffers from ongoing weak seismic data customer demand in its core offshore oil and gas segment. H1 results came in well below management's expectations with a negative free cash flow of $32.7 million. With limited cash available, its credit facility effectively maxed out and the requirement to repay approximately $7.5 million in bond debt in December, ION needs to raise additional funds soon. Recently initiated review of strategic alternatives unlikely to be successful given the dismal state of the core business and the company's substantial debt obligations. A short position could yield decent results but sky-high borrowing rates are likely to keep even speculative investors sidelined at this point.

ION Geophysical: New Opportunities Emerge Despite The Balance Sheet Risks

IO has received several 3D re-imaging projects in various geographies. It is also targeting the lower emission market, including the evaluation of potential sites for carbon storage. The company's Marlin SmartPort deployments in various UK ports, North America, Latin America, and Africa have increased. Although it continues to accumulate net losses, the debt restructuring has extended the long-term debt maturity, which avoids any near-term financial risks.

In this section we usually present revenue and earnings growth projections based on the consensus estimates of professional analysts to help investors understand the company’s ability to generate profit. But as ION Geophysical has not provided enough past data and has no analyst forecast, its future earnings cannot be reliably calculated by extrapolating past data or using analyst predictions.

This is quite a rare situation as 97% of companies covered by SimplyWall St do have past financial data.
