U.S. Segment

Fourth quarter 2013 U.S. revenues were $324.1 million, down 6.1% compared to $345.1 million in the third quarter 2013. Fourth quarter operating income was $47.0 million, or 14.5% of revenue, compared to $52.0 million, or 15.1% of revenue, in the third quarter. Operating income margins were impacted by seasonal effects and multiple severe weather events. Despite these factors, Rig Services saw a revenue decline of only 3.6% sequentially as a growing customer base mitigated the negative impacts to revenue. Coiled Tubing Services and Fishing and Rental Services were adversely impacted by severe weather and activity reductions by certain customers during the back half of the quarter.

International Segment

Fourth quarter 2013 international revenues were $38.1 million, down 14.5% compared to third quarter 2013 revenues of $44.6 million. Fourth quarter operating loss was $20.2 million, or -53.1% of revenues, compared to third quarter operating loss of $7.3 million, or -16.4% of revenues. Operating income margins were adversely impacted by $2.6 million of severance primarily associated with the downsizing of our Mexico operations and by a $3.2 million pre-tax charge associated with the previously disclosed audit by PEMEX.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses were $48.1 million, or 13.3% of revenues, for the fourth quarter compared to $52.7 million, or 13.5% of revenues, in the prior quarter. Full-year G&A expenses were $221.8 million, or 13.9% of consolidated revenues.

Capital Expenditures and Balance Sheet

Capital expenditures were $53.1 million during the fourth quarter 2013 and $164.1 million for the full-year 2013. Key’s consolidated cash balance at December 31, 2013 was $28.3 million compared to $64.6 million at September 30, 2013. Total debt at December 31, 2013 was $767.6 million compared to total debt of $832.7 million at September 30, 2013. At the end of the quarter, there was $410.9 million undrawn under the Company’s $550 million senior secured credit facility. Net debt to total capitalization at the end of 2013 was 36.6%.

Overview and Outlook

Key’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dick Alario, stated, “We are encouraged by the strength that our U.S. business showed during the fourth quarter and by the traction we have gained in broadening our U.S. customer base. In recent weeks, we have seen positive demand signals from many of our customers and have seen the pace of inquiries for our services increase.

“We expect U.S. revenues in the first quarter to increase 3% to 5% over fourth quarter 2013 levels. However, we expect our U.S. margins to be pressured primarily by payroll taxes and costs associated with moving rigs from Mexico to the U.S.

“Outside of the U.S., we expect our first quarter revenue to decline 10% to 15% sequentially assuming Mexico activity remains at current levels. Additionally, we expect to incur severance expense of $1 to $2 million as we continue to align our cost structure with current activity. Excluding this severance expense, we expect our International Segment to be approximately at cash flow breakeven by the end of the first quarter.

February 13, 2013

“Our capital expenditure plan for 2014 is $198 million for equipment maintenance needs, including ongoing upgrades to our Rig Services fleet.”

Alario concluded, “Based on announced U.S. customer plans for this year, we now expect a higher level of activity in our domestic businesses for 2014 with a more than seasonal uplift in activity as we exit the first quarter.”

“EBITDA” is defined as income or loss from continuing operations attributable to Key before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-recurring or extraordinary items such as loss on debt extinguishment, certain other gains or losses, asset retirements and impairments, and certain non-recurring transaction or other costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that are used as supplemental financial measures 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;

• 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; and

• The Company’s operating trends underlying the items that tend to be of a non-recurring nature.

9

February 13, 2013

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations to using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include:

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect Key’s current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service, interest or principal payments on Key’s debt;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• Other companies in Key’s industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Key does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are 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 statements as to 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, and include statements regarding estimated capital expenditures, future operational and activity expectations, international growth, and anticipated financial performance in the first quarter of 2014. 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 that Key will be unable to achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue and/or operating income and risks that Key’s expectations regarding future activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability may not materialize (whether for Key as a whole or for geographic regions and/or business segments individually); risks that fundamentals in the U.S. oil and gas markets may not yield anticipated future growth in Key’s businesses, or could further deteriorate or worsen from the recent market declines, and/or that Key could experience further unexpected declines in activity and demand for its rig service, fluid management service, coiled tubing service, and fishing and rental service businesses; risks relating to Key’s ability to implement technological developments and enhancements; risks relating to compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, as well as actions by governmental and regulatory authorities; risks affecting Key’s international operations, including risks that Key may not be able to achieve its international growth and mobilization strategy in the foreign countries in which Key operates; risks that Key may be unable to achieve the benefits expected from acquisition and disposition transactions, and risks associated with integration of the acquired operations into Key’s operations; risks, in responding to changing or declining market conditions, that Key may not be able to reduce, and could even experience increases in, the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed and used in Key’s businesses; risks relating to changes in the demand for or the price of oil and natural gas; risks that Key may not be able to execute its capital expenditure program 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, many of which are outside of Key’s control, 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 on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 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.
