Key Energy Services Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results
HOUSTON, TX, February 17, 2011— Key Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: KEG) generated fourth quarter 2010 consolidated GAAP income of $76.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, which includes an $87.4 million net gain on the previously announced sale of the company’s pressure pumping and wireline businesses to Patterson-UTI Energy (NASDAQ: PTEN), and which is reported in discontinued operations.
Fourth quarter 2010 revenue was $350.2 million, up 23.4%, compared to third quarter 2010 revenue of $283.7 million. Fourth quarter 2010 loss from continuing operations attributable to Key was $10.8 million, or a loss of $0.08 per share. Impacting fourth quarter results were $5.6 million of transaction related costs and legal charges. Additionally, based on consolidated 2010 results, the Board of Directors awarded employee bonuses of $18.8 million under the company’s incentive plan, which were paid in December. Excluding the transaction costs and legal charges, as well as the bonus payments, fourth quarter income from continuing operations would have been $5.5 million, or $0.04 per share, which compares to the third quarter 2010 loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share.
Fourth quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $32.6 million. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, fourth quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations would have been $57.0 million, or 16.3% of revenue, which compares to third quarter adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $40.3 million, or 14.2% of revenue.

Well Servicing
Fourth quarter revenue of $279.2 million from the Well Servicing segment was up 14.3% from the third quarter. Segment operating income was $20.1 million, resulting in operating income margins of 7.2%, which were negatively affected by costs associated with further expansion into growth markets, as well as costs to reactivate rigs in response to customer demand. The OFS Energy Services subsidiaries acquired on October 1, 2010, contributed $20.8 million of revenue to the Well Servicing segment in the fourth quarter.
U.S. based revenue increased 12.3% sequentially to $228.0 million and resulted in $27.1 million of operating income. Operating income margins of 11.9% were down 290 basis points compared to the third quarter as a result of startup and mobilization costs related to further expansion into the Bakken and Eagle Ford shale markets, as well as costs associated with reactivating additional rigs that will begin working in the first quarter of 2011. Severe flooding in California during December also negatively impacted fourth quarter margins.
Fourth quarter international revenue was $51.2 million, up 24.3% from the third quarter. The revenue increase was driven by all countries except Argentina where activity was flat. Mexico benefitted as activity increased near year-end, and Colombia and Bahrain each benefitted from the start-up of new projects in those countries. The international operating loss of $7.0 million in the fourth quarter includes costs of mobilizing additional rigs into Colombia and Bahrain.
Production Services
Fourth quarter revenue in the Production Services segment was $71.0 million, a 79.8% increase from $39.5 million generated in the third quarter. Although operating income of $16.6 million was up 71.8% sequentially, operating income margins were negatively affected by costs associated with deployment of incremental coiled tubing capacity during the quarter. The OFS subsidiaries contributed $25.6 million of revenue to the Production Services segment in the fourth quarter.
New Reporting Segments
Beginning with the first quarter of 2011, Key will provide financial results for U.S. and International reportable segments, including revenue and operating income. Key will no longer report based on Well Servicing and Production Services segments.
Historical quarterly results for 2009 and 2010, recast to the new reporting segments, are provided on Key’s website at www.keyenergy.com, under Investor Relations. Quarterly revenue for each U.S. line of business, including Rig Services, Fluid Management Services, Intervention Services, and Fishing & Rental Services, is also provided.
General and Administrative Expenses
Total general and administrative expenses were $67.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $46.8 million in the third quarter 2010. Included in fourth quarter general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million of transaction related costs and legal charges and $13.0 million of the $18.8 million bonus expense.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity
Capital expenditures were $80 million during the fourth quarter and $181 million for the full year 2010. Key’s consolidated cash balance was $56.6 million at December 31, 2010, and total debt was $431.1 million, down $89.2 million compared to the end of the previous quarter due to the repayment of the outstanding balance of the company’s revolving credit facility with proceeds from the sale of its pressure pumping and wireline businesses.

Overview and Outlook
Commenting on the fourth quarter and the full year, Chairman, President and CEO, Dick Alario, stated, “In 2010, we saw the beginning of a significant cyclical recovery from trough activity levels in 2009. Additionally, we exited two businesses, sold our barge rig assets, consolidated several well service businesses, acquired a leading coiled tubing services provider, made several additional meaningful coiled tubing investments, and expanded into two new international markets: Colombia and Bahrain. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from opportunities presented by the growing horizontal and lateral well completion market in the U.S., and our international business is focused on customers committed to improving production from their existing assets.”
Alario continued, “Regarding 2011, we anticipate consolidated revenues will be up 35 to 40% compared to 2010. Within that, we are projecting our international revenue to increase 40 to 50% and believe the U.S. market will remain strong, resulting in 35 to 40% revenue growth. Additionally, our initial capital expenditure estimate for 2011 is $240 million. We will discuss our 2011 guidance on our conference call, and a summary of our 2011 guidance is available on our website.”

“Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations” is defined as income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Key before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In some periods, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may also add back certain non-recurring items such as asset retirements and impairments. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by the company’s management and directors and by external users of the company’s financial statements, such as investors, to assess:
| • | | The financial performance of the company’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; |
| |
| • | | The ability of the company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on its indebtedness; and |
| |
| • | | The company’s operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the well services industry, without regard to financing methods and capital structure. |
8
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as an analytical tool include:
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect Key’s current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Key’s debt; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect income taxes; |
| • | | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| • | | Other companies in Key’s industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations differently than Key does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a different calculation from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined for purposes of the financial covenants in the company’s senior secured credit facility, and therefore should not be relied upon for assessing compliance with covenants. |
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any matters that are not of historic fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Key’s current expectations, estimates and projections about Key, its industry, its management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management. No assurance can be given that such expectations, estimates or projections will prove to have been correct. Whenever possible, these “forward-looking statements” are identified by words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates” and similar phrases.
Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to: risks affecting activity levels for Key’s services, including the possibility that the perceived cyclical recovery or future growth opportunities in Key’s industry may not materialize and may not result in activity increases; risks that Key’s customers may not increase, or may even decrease, their activity levels; risks associated with recently completed transactions, including the risk that Key may be unable to achieve the benefits contemplated under these transactions; risks related to integration of the acquired operations; risks affecting Key’s foreign operations, including risks related to activity levels in Mexico, other risks affecting Key’s operations in Argentina and Russia, risks associated with expanding operations in Colombia and Bahrain, and risks that Key may not be able to achieve its overall international growth and mobilization strategy; risks that Key may not be able to achieve its capital expenditure budget and/or that any such capital expenditure investments, if made, will not generate adequate returns; and other risks affecting Key’s ability to maintain or improve operations, including its ability to maintain prices for services under market pricing pressures, weather risks, and the impact of potential increases in general and administrative expenses.
Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, Key’s actual results and performance may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Other important risk factors that may affect Key’s business, results of operations and financial position are discussed in its most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q, recent Current Reports onForm 8-K and in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Unless otherwise required by law, Key also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made here. However, readers should review carefully reports and documents that Key files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
