Exhibit 99.1 Oil States Announces Second Quarter 2004 Earnings HOUSTON, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) today reported strong year-over-year earnings growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 due to continued strength in North American drilling activity and the impact of acquisitions completed during 2003 and early 2004. Net income for the second quarter was $12.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share compared to net income of $10.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2003. The second quarter earnings growth was primarily due to significantly increased earnings in its Tubular Services segment and continued strong results from its Well Site Services segment. The Company generated $222.2 million of revenues and $30.7 million of EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $163.6 million and $22.3 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2003.(1) Oil States' revenues and EBITDA for the second quarter increased 36% and 38%, respectively, from last year's results. Tight supplies of oil country tubular goods (OCTG), rising OCTG prices, improving U.S. drilling activity and contributions from the May 11, 2004 acquisition of the U.S. OCTG distribution business of Hunting Energy Services, L.P. (Hunting) led to record results in the Tubular Services segment. Strong North American drilling and completion activity continued to drive solid earnings in the Well Site Services Segment. Offshore Products experienced lower revenues and EBITDA on a year-over-year basis due to reduced activity levels, but generated significant improvements sequentially and experienced continued growth in its backlog from year end 2003. The Company's effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2004 was 39.8% compared to an effective tax rate of 26.4% in the second quarter of 2003 due to the benefiting of available net operating losses (NOL's) in prior periods. Capital expenditures during the quarter totaled $11.9 million. For the first half of 2004, the Company reported net income of $28.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, on revenues of $426.4 million and EBITDA of $58.5 million. For the corresponding period in 2003, the Company reported net income of $23.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, on revenues of $349.1 million and $49.2 million of EBITDA. This performance represents year-over-year revenue and EBITDA increases of 22% and 19%, respectively. Reported net income for the 2004 year-to-date period included the effect of a $5.4 million (or $0.11 per diluted share) income tax credit, which reduced the tax provision in the first quarter of 2004, due to the partial reversal of valuation allowances applied against net operating loss carryforwards. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Well Site Services Revenues and EBITDA from the Well Site Services segment in the second quarter of 2004 increased 38% and 43%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2003. Contributions from acquisitions completed over the past twelve months, strong overall North American drilling activity and moderate pricing gains were the primary factors contributing to these year-over-year increases. For the second quarter of 2004, Well Site Services reported revenues of $72.9 million and EBITDA of $17.1 million compared to revenues of $52.9 million and EBITDA of $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2003. Although impacted by the typical spring break-up in Canada in the second quarter, the accommodations business generated year-over-year increases in revenues and EBITDA due to expanded activity in the oil sands area of Alberta and contributions from an international catering and facility management contract. The Company's land drilling business continued to perform well and profited from the investment in two newly built rigs, which were placed into service in Texas during December 2003 and February 2004, respectively. EBITDA from the rental tool operations increased 87% year-over-year primarily due to contributions from nine acquisitions completed over the past twelve months and investments made to expand the unit's tool offering. Offshore Products During the second quarter of 2004, Offshore Products reported $48.9 million of revenues and $4.7 million of EBITDA, compared to $57.2 million of revenues and $10.5 million of EBITDA in the second quarter of 2003. Revenues declined 14% year-over-year as a result of delays in contract awards for deepwater infrastructure projects. Gross margin for the second quarter fell to 20.3% from 26.6% in the second quarter of 2003. These lower margins were largely due to lower overhead absorption resulting from reduced activity and product mix. However, the results for the second quarter of 2004 did represent a significant sequential increase in earnings compared to the results reported in the first quarter of 2004 as Offshore Products began to recover from the lull in deepwater project awards. On a sequential basis, Offshore Products revenues and EBITDA increased 17% and 225%, respectively. The outlook for Offshore Products continued to improve as backlog grew to $98.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $76.9 million at March 31, 2004, a 28% increase. Tubular Services Tubular Services generated record quarterly results with the strong OCTG market environment. Tubular Services generated $100.4 million of revenues and $10.8 million of EBITDA in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $53.5 million of revenues and $1.5 million of EBITDA in the second quarter of 2003, as revenues almost doubled and EBITDA had a six-fold increase on a year- over-year basis. Tight OCTG supplies, increasing OCTG mill pricing and contributions from the Hunting acquisition completed May 11, 2004 were the primary factors for this increase. In addition, Tubular Services also benefited from the overall year-over-year increase in drilling and completion activity, as the U.S. rig count increased 13% from the second quarter of 2003. OCTG shipments were 84,600 tons in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 60,900 tons shipped in the second quarter of 2003. Gross margin for Tubular Services was 13.0% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 5.9% in the second quarter of 2003. The Company's OCTG inventory at June 30, 2004 was $111.0 million compared to $59.3 million at March 31, 2004. The majority of the inventory increase stemmed from the acquisition of over $40 million of OCTG inventory from Hunting during the quarter. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 62% of Oil States' OCTG inventory was committed to customer orders. "We are very pleased with earnings for the second quarter of 2004," stated Douglas E. Swanson, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our tubular distribution business provided the majority of the uplift in earnings both on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Benefiting from tight OCTG supplies in the U.S., rising OCTG prices and contributions from the recently completed Hunting acquisition, our Tubular Services segment had stronger revenues and higher margins than initially forecasted. Other than the typical impact of spring break-up on our Canadian operations, activity in our Well Site Services segment remained strong during the quarter due to continued robust drilling activity in the U.S., other than the Gulf of Mexico shelf activity, and growth in the oil sands region of Northern Alberta Canada. In addition, our Offshore Products business improved from a weak first quarter of 2004 with sequentially increasing revenues, margins and backlog." "Looking forward, we expect continued strong earnings in the third quarter of 2004. Tubular Services is expected to have another strong quarter given current mill pricing for OCTG and low inventory levels. North American exploration and development activity is expected to remain at current or improved levels, driving continued strong results for the Well Site Services segment. Based on the current backlog levels, Offshore Products should continue to recover in the second half of 2004. Given these factors, we are estimating 2004 earnings to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.10 per diluted share."
