Superior Energy Services Reports Third Quarter Results

Earnings Up 512 Percent

HARVEY, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2000--Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:SESI - news) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000. For the quarter, revenues were $71.3 million resulting in net income of $6.0 million or $0.09 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenue of $33.7 million and net income before extraordinary item of $1.0 million or $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 1999. Net income in the third quarter of 2000 increased 512 percent over the third quarter of 1999.

The Company's third quarter results improved over the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as revenue increased 23.7 percent, EBITDA increased 37.3 percent and net income increased 55.7 percent.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded revenue of $176.1 million and net income of $11.4 million or $0.18 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenue of $69.0 million and a net loss before extraordinary item of $(3.8) million or $(0.24) diluted loss per share for the same period a year ago.

"The key driver through the first three quarters of 2000 continues to be increasing activity levels in the Gulf of Mexico market as producers focus on enhancing production,'' said Terry Hall, Superior Energy Services' President and CEO. "In addition to strong revenue growth in the third quarter, we experienced improved margins for most of our production-related services, particularly in the Well Service, Wireline, and Marine segments. We are encouraged with the growth experienced so far this year and will continue to position Superior for growth by leveraging cross-selling opportunities across our various disciplines to meet customers' production-related requirements.''
