NEWPARK RESOURCES REPORTS NET INCOME OF $0.15 PER DILUTED SHARE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2012
THE WOODLANDS, TX – July 26, 2012 – Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE: NR) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $245.8 million compared to $262.3 million for the first quarter 2012 and $230.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $14.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $15.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012, and $19.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011.
Paul Howes, Newpark’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the progress made in our U.S. fluids business, which showed a marked improvement, generating a sequential operating income increase of more than $5 million, while revenue remained flat. Our Evolution® drilling fluid system generated revenues of $27 million in the second quarter, up from the $23 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $18 million in the second quarter of last year. These results were largely offset by events in other regions, including the seasonal reduction in activity in our Canadian operations from the Spring break-up, and delays in North Africa due to the timing of customer projects and the transition to a new contract with Sonatrach in Algeria. Combined, Canada and our EMEA region experienced a $16 million sequential decline in revenue, which negatively impacted operating margins in the segment.
“Our Mats and Integrated Services segment continued to generate exceptional results, driven by strong demand for composite mat sales internationally and the diversification of our rental activity in the U.S. Our composite mats continue to demonstrate superior performance for our expanding customer base, and we remain focused on further enhancements to our product offering, aimed at improving environmental protection on the well site. The Environmental Services segment also continued to generate solid results, and we are becoming increasingly optimistic about a recovery in the Gulf of Mexico in the near future,” concluded Howes.
