I/O REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
HOUSTON — AUGUST 3, 2005 — Input/Output, Inc. (NYSE: IO) today announced second quarter 2005 net income of $2.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on revenues of $84.0 million compared to net income of $4.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, on revenues of $62.3 million for the same period a year ago.
Bob Peebler, I/O’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We remain on track in terms of our anticipated gradual improvement throughout the year. The Marine Imaging Systems Division is performing better than expected led by a strong seismic marine market. Our first project with VectorSeis Ocean™ (VSO) was completed with the E&P customer requesting an expansion of the original scope of work. We are very pleased that the recent success of VSO has resulted in a new purchase order from Reservoir Exploration Technology (RXT) for a second VSO system and an agreement with RXT that provides the framework for multiple VSO system purchases over the next two years. On the land imaging side, the fundamental drivers behind the seismic market remain strong, including a continuing expansion of digital, full-wave surveys. GX Technology (GXT) made progress in the second quarter, and processing backlog continues to improve. We continue to make significant progress towards our goal of introducing game-changing solutions to the seismic market.”
SECOND QUARTER 2005
Land Imaging revenues were $37.4 million compared to $36.6 million a year ago. Marine Imaging revenues increased to $16.8 million from $13.1 million a year ago, driven by a strong rebound in seismic marine activity. GXT, which was acquired by I/O in June 2004, generated revenues of $24.2 million during the quarter, a sequential increase of 17 percent from the first quarter of 2005.
Gross margin for the second quarter was 28 percent compared to 23 percent in the first quarter and 34 percent for the same period a year ago. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company experienced pricing pressures on land systems related to entering new markets and low processing margins at GXT due to excess capacity. The Company expects the excess capacity to be absorbed as processing backlog continues to improve. Operating expenses for the second quarter declined to 22 percent of revenues compared to 25 percent for the second quarter of last year and 28 percent in the first quarter of 2005.
Income from operations in the second quarter was $4.8 million compared to income from operations of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2004. EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the second quarter improved to $12.5 million compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter of last year. A reconciliation of EBITDA to reported earnings can be found at the end of this press release.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2005
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 53 percent to $150.9 million from $98.6 million in the first half of 2004. The Imaging Systems Group grew 15 percent while the rest of the increase is due to the acquisition of GXT.
Gross margin for the first six months of 2005 declined to 25 percent compared to 34 percent in the first six months of last year. The gross margin in the first half of 2004 primarily reflects the mix of higher margin sales, such as imaging systems and data library products, when compared to the first half of 2005. EBITDA for the first six months of 2005 increased to $17.4 million from $13.2 million in the same period a year ago. Income from operations for the first half of 2005 was $1.2 million compared to $6.6 million in the first half of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, I/O reported a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.02 loss per share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.
OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on our current expectations. These statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Factors affecting these forward-looking statements are detailed below.
Mike Kirksey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Based on the first half results and our current pipeline of business, we are updating the guidance we provided during the first quarter. We now expect 2005 revenues to range between $330 and $350 million with much of the revenue growth coming from continued market penetration of our new field acquisition systems, improving financial performance at GXT and a strong overall marine seismic market. We expect sales and margins to continue improving as we move through the second half of the year, with full year 2005 gross margins to range between 25 and 30 percent. We anticipate operating expenses as a percentage of revenues to range between 20 and 23 percent during the last half of the year. As a result, we anticipate 2005 earnings will range between $0.12 and $0.25 per diluted share. Several multi-client projects at GXT are in process, but some uncertainty exists around the exact timing, as well as the permitting requirements. In addition, the next VSO system may be delivered in phases and therefore the revenue which will be recognized in 2005 could vary accordingly. These uncertainties have led us to reduce the lower end of the range.”
REVISION TO THE FIRST QUARTER 2005
During the second quarter, the Company’s internal review process determined that approximately $778,000 of royalty expenses were incurred by GXT and should have been recorded in the first quarter of 2005. The Company intends to revise its financial statements for the first quarter of 2005 to include the royalty expenses.
The impact of this revision is to increase cost of sales in the first quarter by $778,000, resulting in an aggregate loss per share during the first quarter of 2005 of $0.05 compared to a loss per share of $0.04 previously reported. The Company will amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2005 to reflect the revised financial statements.

(Unaudited)
EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measurement that is presented as an additional indicator of operating performance and is not a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share calculated under generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP). We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to service our debt. The calculation of EBITDA shown below is based upon amounts derived from the company’s financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.
