               Oil States Announces Fourth Quarter 2003 Earnings

    HOUSTON, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oil States International, Inc.
(NYSE: OIS) today reported net income of $9.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted
share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to net income of
$11.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Reported net income included the effects of a $1.2 million after-tax charge
related to a debt refinancing completed in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Without this one-time charge, Oil States would have reported net income of
$10.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter.

    In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company generated $197.4 million of
revenues and $21.0 million of EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization) compared to $160.8 million and
$22.8 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2002.(A)  North American
drilling activity increased 34.3% year-over-year which benefited several
business lines.  Oil States' revenues for the quarter increased 22.7% from the
year prior.  However, EBITDA decreased 7.9% as consolidated EBITDA margin fell
from 14.2% in the fourth quarter of 2002 to 10.6% in the fourth quarter of
2003.  The margin decline was the result of unfavorable product mix at
Offshore Products, integration costs incurred in connection with acquisitions
and the continued lack of high margin US offshore activity.

    The Company's effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2003 was 9.5%
compared to an effective tax rate of 22.3% in the fourth quarter of 2002.  The
9.5% fourth quarter rate brings the 2003 annualized effective rate to 24.25%
which was reduced from the previously estimated annualized effective rate of
27.5% primarily to reflect reductions in Canadian statutory rates and US state
taxes.  Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled
$14.5 million.

    For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company reported net income of
$44.4 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, including the effect of the debt
refinancing charge, on revenues of $723.7 million and EBITDA of $94.1 million.
For the corresponding period in 2002, the Company reported net income of
$39.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, on revenues of $616.8 million and
$78.7 million of EBITDA.

    BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

    Well Site Services

    In the fourth quarter of 2003, Well Site Services generated revenues of
$67.8 million and EBITDA of $13.6 million compared to revenues of
$48.1 million and EBITDA of $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.
These results represent a 40.9% year-over-year increase in revenues and a
20.1% increase in EBITDA.  Well Site Services benefited from increased
activity in its accommodations and land drilling businesses.  Oil States'
accommodations business experienced a year-over-year increase in revenues and
EBITDA of 76.9% and 71.5% due to a higher level of activity in Canada, the
effects of a stronger Canadian dollar and increased international
contributions.  Land drilling's revenues and EBITDA increased in the fourth
quarter of 2003 by 24.0% and 102.6%, respectively, compared to the fourth
quarter of 2002 due to improved utilization, slightly improved pricing and
increased drilling efficiency.  Well Site Services also benefited from three
rental tool acquisitions completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2003.
These improved results were partially offset by decreased profitability in
hydraulic workover services and rental tools which were negatively impacted by
the weak Gulf of Mexico market.

    Offshore Products

    Offshore Products generated revenues of $57.8 million and EBITDA of
$6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to revenues of
$55.9 million and EBITDA of $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.  The
year-over-year decrease in EBITDA of 29.0% was the result of a decrease in
gross margins from 29.8% in the fourth quarter of 2002 to 21.0% in the fourth
quarter of 2003.  Oil States experienced a decline in gross margin at several
of the Offshore Products business lines, the most significant of which was in
its lifting and mooring equipment business.  The fourth quarter results were
also negatively impacted by $0.8 million of pre-tax, integration costs related
to the fourth quarter 2003 acquisition of an elastomer molding product line
and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities in Houston.  Offshore
Products' backlog was $62.6 million at December 31, 2003 compared to
$72.9 million at September 30, 2003 and $100.1 million at December 31, 2002.

    Tubular Services

    During the fourth quarter of 2003, Tubular Services generated revenues of
$71.7 million and EBITDA of $2.1 million compared to revenues of $56.8 million
and EBITDA of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.  Tubular Services'
revenues increased 26.3% on a year-over-year basis, benefiting from the 31.1%
increase in US drilling activity in the fourth quarter of 2003.  As a result,
Tubular Services shipped approximately 81,700 tons of OCTG in the fourth
quarter of 2003, a 44.1% increase from the 56,700 tons shipped in the fourth
quarter of 2002.  Gross margin for Tubular Services was 5.6% in the fourth
quarter of 2003 compared to 8.8% in the fourth quarter of 2002.  The gross
margin in the fourth quarter of 2002 was favorably impacted by a very
profitable, non-recurring order.  OCTG inventory at December 31, 2003 was
$64.5 million compared to $72.7 million at September 30, 2003 and
$60.4 million at December 31, 2002.  As of December 31, 2003, approximately
58% of Oil States' OCTG inventory was committed to customer orders.

    "The fourth quarter saw strong activity in Canada and on land in the US,
which positively impacted our Well Site Services and Tubular Services business
segments," stated Douglas E. Swanson, Oil States' President and Chief
Executive Officer.  "These improved North American land results were partially
offset by the Gulf of Mexico offshore market which remained depressed,
hampering our workover and rental tool operations' results.  Offshore
Products' fourth quarter results were down from the record results posted over
the previous six quarters.  Looking forward, we expect 2004 to be a record
year in Canada which will benefit our Well Site Services segment.  Well Site
Services and Tubular Services will also benefit from expected high levels of
land activity in the US.  Given our year-end backlog and the current
visibility of large offshore development projects, we expect Offshore Products
to be sequentially down in 2004."

    (A) The term EBITDA consists of net income plus interest, taxes,
        depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is not a measure of financial
        performance under generally accepted accounting principles.  You
        should not consider it in isolation from or as a substitute for net
        income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or
        liquidity.  Additionally, EBITDA may not be comparable to other
        similarly titled measures of other companies.  The Company has
        included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management
        believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our ability
        to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides
        investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance
        with the performance of other companies that have different financing
        and capital structures or tax rates.  The Company uses EBITDA to
        compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to
        other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of
        incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.
