Oil States Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings of $0.95 per Share

HOUSTON, Feb. 19 PRNewswire-FirstCall — Today, Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 of $48.2 million, or $0.95 per diluted share compared to $49.4 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2006. Oil States recognized year-over-year growth in revenues and EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of 20% and 5%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2007.(A)

The Company generated $581.0 million of revenues and $94.7 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $484.3 million and $90.4 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2006. Consolidated operating income in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $71.6 million compared to $73.2 million for the corresponding quarter of 2006. Increasing deepwater capital equipment sales in our Offshore Products segment and growth in our oil sands accommodations business along with contributions from two rental tool acquisitions completed during the third quarter of 2007 resulted in significant year-over-year improvements in revenue and EBITDA. However, consolidated EBITDA was negatively impacted by reduced margins in Drilling Services resulting from lower utilization due to extensive holiday downtime and lower margins in Tubular Services as record OCTG shipments were offset by lower OCTG prices.

The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 30.1% in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 31.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2007 benefited from statutory tax rate changes in Canada; similarly the effective rate in the fourth quarter of 2006 benefited from tax return adjustments and the annualized benefit of lower state effective tax rates. During the fourth quarter, the Company spent $67.6 million in capital expenditures, primarily to expand its major oil sands lodges, and spent $23.4 million repurchasing 705,500 shares of its common stock.

The Company reported revenues of $2.1 billion and EBITDA of $385.5 million for the full year 2007 which resulted in net income of $203.4 million, or $3.99 per diluted share. For the same period in 2006, the Company reported revenues of $1.9 billion and EBITDA of $372.9 million, resulting in net income of $197.6 million, or $3.89 per diluted share. The results for 2007 include a $12.8 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of a portion of the Company's investment in Boots & Coots. Additionally, in 2006, the Company recognized an $11.3 million pre-tax gain from the sale of its workover business to Boots & Coots.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the results from the fourth quarter of 2006.)

Well Site Services

Well Site Services generated revenues of $209.1 million and EBITDA of $67.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $158.5 million and $62.9 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2006, representing year-over-year increases of 32% and 7%, respectively. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to the contributions from the two rental tool acquisitions closed in the third quarter of 2007 and improved results from the oil sands accommodations operations, partially offset by lower revenues and profits from the Company's drilling operations.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, the accommodations business reported revenues of $91.5 million and EBITDA of $29.0 million, compared to revenues and EBITDA of $70.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2006. Accommodations revenue and EBITDA increased 30% and 24%, respectively, primarily due to the significant increase in average available room capacity at the Company's three major oil sands lodges. EBITDA growth in accommodations was partially offset by weaker year-over-year accommodations activity related to conventional Canadian drilling activity and a $5.0 million reduction in EBITDA from accommodation unit sales. Drilling services generated revenues and EBITDA of $35.3 million and $10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, respectively, compared to $37.2 million of revenues and $19.7 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2006. These year-over-year declines in drilling services were primarily the result of reduced utilization due to extensive holiday downtime in West Texas, resulting in lower fixed cost absorption and profit margins. Subsequent to the end of the year, the majority of the Company's idle drilling rigs have gone back to work at comparable rates. Rental tools generated $82.3 million of revenues and $28.1 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to revenue of $50.9 million and EBITDA of $19.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. This year-over-year growth was due to two acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2007 coupled with organic growth in wireline equipment rentals, partially offset by holiday shutdowns, weather delays and declines in Canadian rental tool activity resulting from the 19% year-over-year decrease in industry-wide Canadian drilling and completion activity.

Offshore Products

Offshore Products, in the fourth quarter of 2007, continued to generate year-over-year growth, reporting $141.2 million of revenues and $21.3 million in EBITDA compared to $107.7 million of revenues and $17.1 million in EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily due to increased revenues and profits from bearing and connector products and drilling equipment deliveries partially offset by project cost overruns recognized in the fourth quarter totaling $5.0 million, before taxes, on a new drilling rig equipment project consisting of three separate systems. Two of the equipment systems were accepted by the customer and shipped prior to year end; the third system is expected to ship during the first quarter of 2008. Backlog totaled $362.2 million at December 31, 2007 which represented a 9% decrease from the $396.0 million reported as of September 30, 2007 due to contract award delays and record fourth quarter revenues.

Tubular Services

Tubular Services generated revenues and EBITDA of $230.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to revenues of $218.1 million and EBITDA of $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Tubular Services' OCTG shipments increased 16% to a quarterly record level of 137,000 tons from 118,400 tons in the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross margins in the fourth quarter of 2007 declined to 5.7% from 8.5% in the fourth quarter of 2006 because of lower year-over-year OCTG mill pricing and competitive factors. The Company's OCTG inventory declined 27% to $191.4 million at December 31, 2007 from the December 31, 2006 inventory level of $261.8 million. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 77% of Oil States' OCTG inventory was committed to customer orders.

"Our growth in 2007 was led by our deepwater capital equipment business and our accommodations supporting oil sands developments, augmented by two rental tool acquisitions," stated Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer. "The year 2007 marked records for our company in revenues and EBITDA despite reduced profitability from our Tubular Services and West Texas drilling operations and reductions in conventional Canadian drilling and completion activity."

"On February 15, 2008, we took a step to expand our operations and address potential capacity constraints in Offshore Products with the acquisition of a waterfront facility on the Houston ship channel. The new waterfront facility will expand our ability to manufacture, assemble, test and load out larger subsea production and drilling rig equipment thereby expanding our capabilities. Including the contribution from recent acquisitions, our current expectation for first quarter 2008 earnings is in a range of $1.10 to $1.20 per diluted share."

EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider it in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. The Company uses EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles: Oil States International, Inc.
