Commenting on the results, Ted Owen, Team's president and chief executive officer, said, "We are obviously disappointed in our results for the quarter, especially after seeing increased demand levels during our busiest fall turnaround months of September and October. We were encouraged then that the early fall activity levels were the first signs of more normalized market activity, but that did not turn out to be the case. After the brief spike in demand for our services during the first month of the fourth quarter, demand weakened again in November and December. In spite of the soft demand in 2016, we continue to be optimistic that end markets will improve during 2017 and we are no less confident in the platform we are building as the premier industrial services company. However, until we begin to see a sustained pattern of market normalization, we will continue to withhold earnings guidance for 2017."
