Superior Energy Services Posts Record Second Quarter 2007 Results
Diluted EPS Increases 77% from the Second Quarter of 2006 as 50% of Revenue Derived from Non-Gulf of Mexico Markets
HARVEY, La., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: SPN) today announced record net income of $70.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.85 on revenues of $396.8 million, as compared to net income of $38.7 million, or $0.48 diluted earnings per share on revenues of $261.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. The results also compare favorably to the first quarter of 2007, in which net income was $64.0 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.78, on revenues of $362.9 million.
Factors impacting the quarter as compared to the most recent quarter include the following:
* Well Intervention revenues increased 8% from the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to increased hydraulic workover and snubbing activity as well as higher coiled tubing, mechanical wireline and electric line revenues. * Rental Tool revenues increased 7% from the first quarter of 2007, largely due to increased rentals of stabilizers, drill collars and on-site accommodations. * Marine revenues decreased 2% from the first quarter of 2007 due to lower utilization for some of the Company's larger liftboats as a result of increased shipyard days. * Oil and Gas revenues increased 30% from the first quarter of 2007 due mainly to higher oil and gas production. * Revenues from non-Gulf of Mexico market areas were approximately $199 million, or 50% of total revenue, as compared to approximately $175 million, or 48% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2007 and approximately $100 million, or 38% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2006.
Terence Hall, Chairman and CEO of Superior, stated, "The diversity of our products and services combined with our expanding geographical exposure continue to be the drivers for our strong earnings growth these past several quarters. While activity increased in all of our geographic markets, the second quarter represents the first time in company history that at least 50% of our revenues were derived from market areas outside the Gulf of Mexico. Our operating units are committed to driving shareholder value by executing upon this integrated growth strategy."
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues were $759.7 million and net income was $134.1 million or $1.63 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenues of $484.2 million and net income of $70.9 million or $0.87 diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Well Intervention Group Segment
Second quarter revenues for the Well Intervention Group were a record $190.5 million, an 8% increase from the first quarter of 2007 and a 71% increase from the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $42.1 million, or 22% of segment revenue as compared to $46.1 million, or 26% of segment revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. The primary drivers for the sequential growth in revenues were higher international activity for hydraulic workover and snubbing services and increased domestic land activity for coiled tubing, mechanical wireline and electric line services. Gross profit and operating margins sequentially were adversely impacted by changes in business mix due to the completion of certain well control and engineering projects.
Rental Tools Segment
Revenues for the Rental Tools Segment were a record $123.7 million, 7% higher than the first quarter of 2007 and 43% higher than the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $46.6 million, or 38% of segment revenue, up from $45.1 million, or 39% of segment revenue in the first quarter of 2007. Demand increased for rentals of stabilizers, drill collars, connecting iron and on-site accommodations. The operating margin was slightly lower due to business mix.
Marine Segment
Superior's marine revenues were $35.2 million, a 2% decrease from the first quarter of 2007 and a 4% increase from the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $15.2 million, or 43% of segment revenue, down from $16.5 million, or 46% of segment revenue in the first quarter of 2007. Average daily revenue in the second quarter was approximately $386,000, inclusive of subsistence revenue, as compared to $399,000 per day in the first quarter of 2007. Average fleet utilization was 77% as compared to 74% in the first quarter of 2007 and 83% in the second quarter of 2006. However, utilization for the 245-ft. class and 250-ft. class liftboats was lower due to additional shipyard days for inspections and maintenance.
Liftboat Average Dayrates and Utilization by Class Size Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 ($ actual) Average Class Liftboats Dayrate Utilization 145'-155' 11 $10,469 74.3% 160'-175' 6 14,482 70.5% 200' 5 20,166 91.7% 230'-245' 3 27,589 85.0% 250' 2 39,463 64.8% Oil and Gas Segment
Oil and gas revenues were $48.2 million, a 30% increase from first quarter 2007 levels and a 43% increase over the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $11.9 million, or 25% of segment revenue, up from $5.1 million, or 14% of segment revenue, in the first quarter of 2007. Second quarter production was approximately 875,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe), or about 9,600 boe per day, up from approximately 711,000 boe, or 7,900 boe per day in the first quarter of 2007. Production increased during the quarter due to a successful sidetrack drilling operation.
