Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release (the “Press Release”) issued by TGC Industries, Inc. (“TGC”) on April 29, 2013, announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2013. The Press Release is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02, and the foregoing description of the Press Release is qualified in its entirety by reference to this exhibit.
The Press Release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In the Press Release, TGC has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Management of TGC believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparison of the Company’s ongoing results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies.
Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of TGC, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
