3:Superior Energy Services Announces Record Fourth Quarter, Year 2000 Results
HARVEY, La.--Feb. 20, 2001--Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:SESI) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2000. For the period, revenues were a record $81.4 million resulting in record net income from operations of $8.5 million or $0.12 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenue of $44.1 million and net income from operations of $1.8 million or $0.03 diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 1999.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company posted record revenues of $257.5 million and record net income from operations of $19.9 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenues of $113.1 million and a net loss from operations of $2.0 million or $0.11 diluted loss per share for the same period a year ago.
In the fourth quarter, the Company secured a new, $190 million credit facility that provides lower interest rates. Consequently, the Company took a non-cash charge of $1.6 million, or approximately $0.02 per share for the write-off of the unamortized amount of loan issuance costs related to the prior credit facility. As a result, after the extraordinary loss, the Company reported net income of $6.9 million or $0.10 diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2000 and $18.3 million or $0.28 diluted earnings per share for the year.
"We had an excellent quarter - and year - despite the seasonal slowdown typically associated with the fourth quarter," said Terry Hall, Chairman, President and CEO of Superior Energy Services. "During the quarter, we experienced improved demand and stronger pricing for many of our production-related services, including coiled tubing, electric line, mechanical wireline and liftboats. Higher demand has helped broaden our Gulf of Mexico customer base in many service areas, creating additional opportunities to market our full suite of services."
2000 in Review
"The year 2000 was one of recovery for the industry, and for Superior it was one of increasing exposure to the production side of the industry, or what we refer to as exposure to the well," Hall said. "We centralized the operations and management of our well intervention, marine and wireline services into our expanded Harvey, La., campus, and are developing a similar facility in Broussard, La. We believe centralized operations are integral to successfully bundling multiple well intervention services. Today, we have 47 facilities, employ more than 2,500 people and operate in more than five countries. Finally, in 2000 our safety statistics were outstanding, with a total recordable incident rate of just 1.52 in more than 6.3 million man hours worked."
2001 Outlook
"We are extremely encouraged by market activity heading into 2001," Hall said. "We believe the fundamentals are such that well permitting activity - permits filed for most well remediation work in the Gulf of Mexico - should increase and liftboat spot rates across most, if not all fleets should be at their highest levels in more than four years. The market outlook coupled with our ever-increasing exposure to the well should yield significant revenue and earnings growth in 2001."
The Company will host a conference call at 10:30 a.m. Central Time today. The call can be accessed from Superior's website at www.superiorenergy.com, or by telephone at 800/289-0495. The replay telephone number is 888/203-1112 and the passcode for the replay call is 659924.
