ALICE, Texas (August 9, 2013) — Forbes Energy Services Ltd. (NASDAQ: FES) today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Overview
Forbes’ president and chief executive officer, John Crisp, stated, “Our second quarter ended with a positive force as the momentum we experienced in the latter part of the first quarter continued. “Gross profit increased in our well servicing business relative to the first quarter, while our fluid management business yielded a slight increase in gross profit for the second consecutive quarter.
We believe these operating results are admirable considering the competitive pressures in the market, particularly in the transportation-related arena. “We anticipate these pressures to continue until the disparities in the supply/demand ratio are corrected. We are moving into the second part of the year with confidence and intend to maintain focus on the areas that have the greatest potential impact to our bottom line.”
