NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Newpark Resources, Inc. ("Newpark") as of March 31, 2001,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the December 31, 2000 audited financial statements and related notes filed on
Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March
31, 2001 and 2000 Newpark had dilutive stock options of approximately 4.0
million shares and 3.1 million shares, respectively, which were assumed
exercised using the treasury stock method. The resulting net effects of stock
options, totaling 792,000 shares and 607,000 shares for the periods ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were used in calculating diluted income per
share for the periods presented. Options and warrants to purchase a total of 5.9
million shares and 5.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding at March
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, but were not included in the computation of
diluted income per share because they were antidilutive.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT
As of March 31, 2001, Newpark had outstanding $125 million of unsecured
senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") which mature on December 15, 2007.
Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 8-5/8% per annum and is payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15.
As of March 31, 2001, Newpark also maintained a $100.0 million bank
credit facility, including up to $25.0 million in standby letters of credit, in
the form of a revolving line of credit commitment, which expires January 31,
2003. At March 31, 2001, $14.9 million in letters of credit were issued and
outstanding under the credit facility and $56.7 million was outstanding under
the revolving facility, leaving $28.4 million of availability. The facility
bears interest at either a specified prime rate (8.0% at March 31, 2001) or the
LIBOR rate (4.88% at March 31, 2001), in each case plus a spread determined
quarterly based on the ratio of Newpark's funded debt to cash flow. The weighted
average interest rates on the outstanding balance under the credit facility for
the first three months of 2001 and 2000 were 10.22% and 8.97%, respectively.
The Notes do not contain any financial covenants; however, if Newpark
does not meet the financial covenants of the credit facility and is unable to
obtain an amendment from the banks, Newpark would be in default of the credit
facility which would cause the Notes to be in default. The Notes and the credit
facility also contain covenants that significantly limit the payment of
dividends on the common stock of Newpark. Newpark was in compliance with all
covenants as of March 31, 2001.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity and capital resources should be read together with our
"Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Notes to Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements" as well as our annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our operating results depend primarily on oil and gas drilling activity
levels in the markets we serve. These levels, in turn, depend on oil and gas
commodities pricing, inventory levels and product demand. Key average rig count
data for the last several quarters is listed in the following table:
1Q00 2Q00 3Q00 4Q00 1Q01
------ ------ ------ ------- -------
U.S Rig Count 770 845 982 1,075 1,137
Gulf Coast market 223 240 270 276 301
Gulf Coast market to total 29.0% 28.4% 27.5% 25.7% 26.5%
Canadian Rig Count 480 212 314 375 515
- ----------
Source: Baker Hughes Incorporated
Our primary Gulf Coast market, which accounted for approximately 79% of
first quarter 2001 revenues, includes: (1) South Louisiana Land; (2) Texas
Railroad Commission Districts 2 and 3; (3) Louisiana and Texas Inland Waters;
and (4) Offshore Gulf of Mexico. According to Baker Hughes Incorporated, as of
the week ended April 27, 2001, the U.S. rig count was 1,212, with 315 rigs, or
26.0%, within our primary market.
Much of the terrain throughout the oil and gas-producing region of
Canada presents soil stability and access problems similar to those encountered
in the marsh areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Much of the drilling activity
in Canada has historically been conducted when winter temperatures freeze the
soil and stabilize it, allowing safe access. Quarterly fluctuations in the
Canadian rig count generally reflect the seasonal nature of drilling activity
related to these access issues. As of the week ended April 27, 2001, the
Canadian rig count was 188.
Natural gas production accounts for the majority of activity in the
Gulf Coast region. Gas storage levels and demand for natural gas have a
significant impact on gas drilling requirements, as gas suppliers need to
maintain adequate storage for peak demand levels and insure adequate supplies
for anticipated future demand.
During 2000, gas storage levels reached their lowest point in over
three years, and current industry forecasts reflect a stable to growing demand
for natural gas. In addition, current productive gas reserves are being depleted
at a rate faster than current replacement through drilling activities. Because
many shallow fields in the Gulf Coast market have been exploited, based on
improved economics, producers are increasing the
10
11
depth of drilling to reach the larger gas reserves. As such, we expect
gas-drilling activity to be increasingly associated with deeper, more costly
wells.
Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is shown below:

Total operating income $ 16,957 $ 5,680 $ 11,277 199%
========== ========== ==========
The amounts above are shown net of intersegment transfers.
Revenues
E&P Waste Disposal: The $2.2 million or 18% increase in waste disposal
revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in waste volumes received as a
result of increases in drilling activity. During the first quarter of 2001, we
received 1,078,000 barrels of E&P waste, compared to 942,000 barrels in the
comparable quarter of 2000, a 14% increase. Revenue per barrel increased from an
average of $11.54 for the first quarter of 2000 to an average of $11.70 for the
first quarter of 2001.
During 2001, the level of barge mounted drilling rigs active in the
inland waters market has averaged 21, versus an average of 17 during all of
fiscal 2000. Industry sources suggest that more barge rigs are being mobilized
and may be moved to this market during the second half of 2001. This development
is significant since a drilling rig in inland waters typically generates five to
six times the waste volume of drilling rigs in other, less tightly regulated
markets. In addition, new offshore regulations imposing limitations on the
discharge of synthetic-based fluids, which are expected to be effective in the
second half of 2001, could have a positive impact on our volume of waste
received from the offshore market.
Fluids Sales and Engineering: The $21.1 million or 72% increase in
drilling fluids revenue is attributable to the increase in drilling activity as
well as market share gains.
11
12
During the first quarter of 2001, we serviced an average of 196 rigs, compared
to 134 rigs in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of 46%. The average number
of offshore rigs we serviced in the Gulf of Mexico, the largest consumers of
drilling fluids, increased from three in the first quarter of 2000 to 14 in the
first quarter of 2001. The average annualized revenue per rig was approximately
$1,029,000 in the first quarter of 2001, compared to $855,000 for the first
quarter of 2000.
A leading contributor to our recent success in this segment is our
DeepDrill(TM) family of associated fluid products that are targeted at deeper,
more difficult drilling operations. Because these products are environmentally
friendly, the new restrictions limiting offshore discharges of synthetic-based
fluids and cuttings may have a further positive effect on this segment when
implemented in a few months.
Mat and Integrated Services: The $18.9 million or 122% increase in mat
and integrated services revenue is due to a surge in composite mat sales and
increased drilling activity along the U.S. onshore Gulf Coast, which favorably
impacted pricing and volume for our mat systems. During the quarter ended March
31, 2001, we sold 5,700 composite mats, including a small initial order to the
U.S. Army. There were no composite mat sales in the comparable period of the
prior year. Rental pricing for mats in the first quarter of 2001 improved to an
average of $1.39 per square foot on 4.9 million square feet of mats installed,
compared with $0.78 per square foot on 4.1 million square feet of mats installed
for the first quarter of 2000. The trend towards deeper, more complex drilling
in the onshore Gulf Coast market is evidenced by the increase in rerental
revenues, the most profitable revenues for this segment. Rerental revenue
increased to $3.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a 75%
increase over the comparable period of 2000.
Operating Income
E&P Waste Disposal: The $543,000 increase in waste disposal operating
income is attributable to the $2.2 million increase in revenues resulting from
increased waste volume. This increase in operating income represents an
incremental margin (defined as the change in operating income divided by the
change in revenues) of 25% for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the
first quarter of 2000. This incremental margin is lower than in recent quarters,
primarily due to the increase in certain operating costs, which have not been
fully offset by price increases. These operating cost increases are primarily
associated with the recent expansion of our facilities at the Port of Fourchon
in preparation for anticipated increases in waste volumes resulting from new
offshore discharge regulations for synthetic-based fluids. In addition, this
segment has experienced increases in certain operating costs, including barge
rental costs, repairs and maintenance and trucking costs.
We have exercised our option to extend our right to dispose of
specified volumes of E&P waste at an outside party's disposal facilities, for
one year effective July 1, 2001. As part of this extension, we have doubled the
amount of waste volume that we can dispose of at these facilities and extended
the outside party's agreement not to compete with us in the E&P disposal
business until June 30, 2002. In consideration of the extension of the
agreement, including extension of the non-competition agreement, our costs of
disposal under this contract will increase by approximately $2 per barrel
beginning July 1, 2001. This increase in third party disposal costs is expected
to be partially offset by reductions in other incremental disposal costs and
increases in revenues resulting from the anticipated
12
13
increase in volumes of E&P waste received from the new synthetic-based fluid
regulations that we expect to be implemented.
Fluids Sales and Engineering: The $4.3 million increase in fluids sales
and engineering operating income is due primarily to the increase in revenue of
$21.1 million and represents an incremental margin of 20%. Operating margins for
this segment improved from 6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to 12% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The operating margin of this segment is
affected by the mix of products sold. There is a significant difference in the
gross margins recognized on commodity products, primarily barite, and those
recognized for specialty products. We expect to recognize the benefits of newly
introduced products such as DeepDrill(TM) as these products gain wider customer
acceptance. In addition, we expect to obtain better margins on commodity
products as market activity increases due to improved pricing and lower product
costs.
Mat and Integrated Services: Mat and integrated services operating
income increased $6.6 million on an $18.9 million increase in revenues,
representing an incremental margin of 35%. The high incremental margin is
primarily attributable to improved pricing as noted above. In addition, this
incremental margin reflects the surge in composite mat sales, which typically
generate a gross margin of approximately 45%.
Foreign Currency Gain/Loss
During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, we recognized foreign currency
losses of $490,000, primarily associated with composite mat sales in Canada,
which are typically denominated in Canadian dollars.
Interest Income/Expense
Net interest expense was $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2001, a
decrease of $389,000, or 9%, as compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter
of 2000. The decrease in net interest cost is due to a decrease of $29.2 million
in average outstanding borrowings, which was partially offset by an increase in
the average effective interest rate from 9.39% in 2000 to 9.58% in 2001. In
addition, interest capitalization decreased from $332,000 in the first quarter
of 2000 to $135,000 in the first quarter of 2001. The decrease in average
outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility was due to the application
of proceeds received in late December 2000 from a $30 million preferred stock
offering.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended March 31, 2001 we recorded an income tax
provision of $4.5 million, reflecting an income tax rate of 36%. For the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, we recorded an income tax provision of $535,000,
reflecting an income tax rate of 41%. The higher effective rate in 2000 is due
to the effects of non-deductible items such as goodwill in relation to the
expected level of pretax income for 2000.
13
14
Preferred Stock Dividends and Accretion of Discount
For the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, dividends of $863,000
and $188,000, respectively, were paid or accrued on the preferred stock. The
increase in dividends reflects the issuance of $60 million of preferred stock
during 2000. The accretion of the discount on preferred stock was approximately
$112,000 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

The proceeds from the $30 million preferred stock offering received at
the end of 2000 were used to pay down the balance of our credit facility in
January 2001. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, our working capital needs
were primarily met through operations and from borrowings under our credit
facility. After providing for $921,000 of cash used in operating activities and
$6.5 million of cash used in investing activities, a net amount of $21.2 million
was used in financing activities, principally related to the net reduction in
the balance of the bank credit facility.
As of March 31, 2001, we maintained a $100.0 million bank credit
facility, including up to $25.0 million in standby letters of credit, in the
form of a revolving line of credit commitment which expires January 31, 2003. At
March 31, 2001, $14.9 million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding
under the facility and $56.7 million was outstanding under the revolving
facility, leaving $28.4 million of availability. The weighted average interest
rate on the outstanding balance under the facility was 10.22% in the first
quarter of 2001 and 8.97% in the first quarter of 2000. Recent reductions in the
prime interest rate will help to lower the average interest rate on the facility
in the second quarter of 2001.

For the remainder of 2001, we anticipate total capital expenditures of
approximately $23 million, concentrated in our mat operations for the conversion
of our mat fleet from wooden mats to composite mats.
We recently obtained a commitment for an additional $7 million of
operating lease funding, which will be applied in the second quarter of 2001
towards the lease of wooden mats in order to meet customer demand for mat
locations in the Gulf Coast. Deposits totaling approximately $6 million, which
are included in other current assets as of March 31, 2001, were advanced to the
manufacturer of these mats and will be refunded to us upon receipt of the
operating lease funding. The lease of wooden mats is expected to be temporary
and is a result of the recent surge in composite mat sales.
Except as described in the preceding paragraphs, we are not aware of
any material expenditures, significant balloon payments or other payments on
long term obligations or any other demands or commitments, including off-balance
sheet items to be incurred within the next 12 months. Inflation has not
materially impacted our revenues or income.
