Key Risks: CLB conducts its business in many currencies other than USD, making it vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, any unfavorable movement in the exchange rates could harm the company's financials. In addition, CLB depends on a limited number of third-party suppliers and vendors for some of its product lines. Hence, the loss of any of its key suppliers or alteration in the contractual relationships with these third parties could adversely impact its operations.
Outlook: In Q3FY21, CLB expects to generate revenue in the range of USD 122.0 – 126.0 million, with operating income to the tune of USD 14.0 – 15.0 million, thus realizing an operating margin of ~12% (with an incremental margin (ex-items) of 20% – 25%). EPS is estimated to be in the range of USD 0.19 – 0.21.
