Superior Energy Services Announces Second Quarter Results, Posts Another Record Quarter
HARVEY, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2001--Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE:SPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. For the period, revenues were a record $109.6 million resulting in record net income of $14.3 million or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenue of $57.6 million and net income of $3.8 million or $0.06 diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2000. On a sequential basis, revenue increased 20% and EBITDA increased 30%.
Well Intervention Group Segment (including mechanical wireline)
Revenue for Superior's Well Intervention Group was $41.6 million, 30% higher than the preceding quarter. Demand increased for coiled tubing, pumping and stimulation, hydraulic drilling and workover services. Demand for coiled tubing was particularly strong in the south and east Texas market areas. In May, Superior added 21 coiled tubing units from the Reeled Tubing acquisition, giving Superior 36 coiled tubing units in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast - more than any other service company in those market areas. Additionally, mechanical wireline revenue increased 12% and the gross margin increased over the prior quarter as a result of higher activity and additional higher margin projects.
Rental Tools Segment
Revenue for the Rental Tools segment was $29.1 million, a 7% increase over the first quarter. The segment was driven by increased rentals of stabilizers, drill pipe and accessories, gravel packs, high-pressure connecting iron and on-site accommodations. International rentals comprised 6% of this segment's revenue, up from 4% in the first quarter, as the Company continues to expand its Canadian and South American operations with rentals of stabilizers and high-pressure connecting iron.
Marine Segment
Superior's marine revenue increased 42% over the preceding quarter to $18.5 million as dayrates and utilization for most liftboat classes moved higher. The fleet's average dayrate increased 16% and utilization improved to 83% from 81% in the first quarter. The Company also benefited from eight additional liftboats added in May through the Power Offshore acquisition, including a 250-ft. class liftboat that generated a $28,000 dayrate since it was acquired.

Field Management Segment
Field Management revenue was $14.4 million, a 10% increase over the first quarter. This segment experienced increased activity for offshore construction and fabrication services as well as higher demand for supplemental labor.
Environmental and Other Segment
Revenue from this segment increased 5% to $6.0 million over the prior quarter driven mainly by increased offshore tank and vessel services, the highest gross margin business for the environmental segment.
President and CEO Terry Hall Comments
President and CEO Terry Hall commented, "I am extremely pleased with the results of the second quarter. By any measure, it was an excellent period for Superior as the Company again established records for revenue and profits. The acquisitions we made bolstered strong performances in our core coiled tubing and marine businesses. The Company also experienced strong internal growth, particularly in the Well Intervention Group and Marine Segment.
We believe our strategy to operate primarily in the production-services arena should result in strong demand for the remainder of the year. We believe current commodity prices still support well intervention, maintenance and remediation projects. Our balance sheet provides us the capacity to capitalize on opportunities and the flexibility to manage through changing market conditions."
