HOUSTON, April 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of .1 million, or .13 per diluted share, compared to .2 million, or .78 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010.



The Company generated 0.4 million and 9.8 million of revenues and EBITDA, respectively, during the quarter compared to revenue of 2.3 million and EBITDA of .5 million in the first quarter of 2010 (EBITDA defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).(A) The year-over-year increases in revenues and EBITDA were primarily due to the full quarter contribution from the recent acquisition of The MAC, a leading provider of remote site accommodations to the Australian natural resources industry, and improved results from the well site services and tubular services segments due to stronger North American drilling and completion activity. Consolidated operating income in the first quarter of 2011 was .8 million compared to .8 million for the corresponding quarter of 2010.�



“The acquisitions that we closed during the fourth quarter of 2010 generated better than expected results, contributing to strong year-over-year growth in the first quarter of 2011,” stated Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States’ President and Chief Executive Officer.�”The MAC and Mountain West acquisitions played a large role in our accommodations’ growth this quarter, providing us with greater geographic and resource exposure along with strong and growing revenue streams. Service intensity from horizontal drilling and completion activity afforded us improvements in both pricing and product mix in our rental tools business. In addition, OCTG shipments remained strong with Tubular Services’ margins improving to 5.9% in the first quarter.”



Mrs. Taylor continued, “Looking forward, the outlook for our oil sands and Australian mining accommodations remains extremely positive.�Customers in these regions continue to announce additional projects which add to our demand visibility and should bode well for the occupancy of our existing rooms and our planned expansions. Bidding activity in our Offshore Products segment remains at healthy levels with March 31, 2011 backlog improving to 5 million, up 17% from the end of 2010.”



The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 27.3% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 29.3% in the first quarter of 2010.�The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to foreign sourced income taxed at lower statutory rates.�The Company spent .6 million in capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2011 primarily related to the previously announced construction of the Henday Lodge and continued expansion of the Wapasu Creek Lodge, both located in the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada.�The Company currently expects to spend approximately 0 million to 5 million in capital expenditures during 2011 primarily to expand its Canadian oil sands and Australian natural resource accommodations along with adding incremental equipment in its rental tools segment to service the active North American shale plays.�



BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS



(Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results from the first quarter of 2011 to the results from the first quarter of 2010.)



Accommodations

Well Site Services



Well Site Services generated revenues of 0.6 million and EBITDA of .4 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to revenues and EBITDA of .9 million and .3 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2010, representing year-over-year growth of 44% and 104%, respectively. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to year-over-year increases in activity from the Company’s rental tool business.



Rental tools generated 7.5 million and .2 million of revenues and EBITDA, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to revenues of .5 million and EBITDA of .9 million in the first quarter of 2010. These year-over-year improvements were primarily due to better pricing and product mix resulting from the on-going increase in U.S. drilling and completion activity, particularly in liquids rich horizontal drilling areas.



Drilling services generated revenues and EBITDA of .1 million and .2 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to .4 million of revenues and .4 million of EBITDA in the first quarter 2010.�The year-over-year increase in revenues and EBITDA was due to�increases in pricing and cash margin expansion with day rates rising to .3 thousand per day in the first quarter of 2011 from .8 thousand per day in the first quarter of 2010, and cash margins improving to .6 thousand per day in the first quarter of 2011 from .5 thousand per day in the first quarter of 2010.



Offshore Products

Backlog totaled 5.5 million at March 31, 2011 which represented a 17% increase from the 3.7 million reported as of December 31, 2010 and an 88% increase from the 0.6 million reported at March 31, 2010.
