Superior Energy Services, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2003 Results

HARVEY, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2003--Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: SPN) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the quarter, revenues were $128.9 million resulting in net income of $8.3 million or $0.11 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenues of $112.7 million and net income of $8.5 million or $0.11 diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues were $252.1 million and net income was $15.8 million or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, as compared to revenues of $217.6 million and net income of $14.3 million or $0.20 diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

President and CEO Terry Hall Comments

President and CEO Terry Hall commented, "The rental tools segment continues to be a strong growth business, establishing a quarterly record in revenue and operating income as activity increased in certain international markets, and domestically in Texas and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. We anticipate rentals internationally will continue to grow during the second half of the year. Activity increased for most of our well intervention services during the quarter, continuing a trend that started midway through the first quarter. Liftboat utilization overall did not improve as compared to the first quarter, which is attributable to lower demand in some of our mid-sized classes."

Well Intervention Group Segment

Second quarter revenues for the Well Intervention Group were $46.4 million, a 16% increase from the second quarter of 2002 and a 12% increase from the first quarter of 2003. On a sequential basis, activity increased for most production-related services, led by sharp increases in hydraulic workover and plug and abandonment services, including the completion of the Company's first subsea well intervention project. These were offset by lower well control activity.

Rental Tools Segment

Revenues for the Rental Tools segment were a record $36.4 million, 24% higher than the second quarter of 2002 and 5% higher than the first quarter of 2003. Rentals of drill pipe, on-site accommodations and handling tools and accessories to customers in Texas and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico were the key drivers to revenue growth during the period. In addition, rentals of on-site accommodations increased in Trinidad and rentals of drill pipe increased in Trinidad and Canada.

Marine Segment

Superior's marine revenues were $18.5 million, a 4% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2002 and a 1% decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2003. Average fleet utilization was 66% as compared to 67% for the first quarter of 2002 and 72% for the second quarter of 2002.

Other Oilfield Services Segment

Revenues in this segment were $27.6 million, an 8% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2002 and a 3% decrease as compared to the first quarter of 2003. Decreases in non-hazardous oilfield waste treatment and sales of oil spill response equipment were partially offset by seasonal increases in construction and fabrication projects.
