ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998, was $56,977,000 compared
with $57,856,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of
$879,000 or 2%. The oil and gas services segment revenue of $30,633,000
decreased 14% from last year's third quarter of $35,512,000. This was due, in
large part, to decreased foreign activity, primarily in Venezuela due to the
reorganization of the Venezuelan national oil company, coupled with an overall
decrease in domestic activity. In addition, oil and natural gas prices have
decreased 24 and 26 percent, respectively, compared to the comparable period in
the prior year and the number of working rigs in the United States has decreased
approximately 25 percent from the third quarter of 1997. The third quarter oil
and gas services segment revenue was also negatively impacted by poor weather
conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and gulf states region. The powerboat
manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
increased to $22,420,000 or 17% from last year's third quarter of $19,136,000 as
the result of an increase in Chaparral's market share.
Cost of goods sold for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998, was
$20,405,000 compared to $17,191,000 for the third quarter ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $3,214,000 or 19%. This increase is comparable to the
increase in sales for the third quarter for the powerboat manufacturing segment.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, was $3,753,000 or $0.13
diluted earnings per share versus net income of $5,409,000 or $0.18 diluted
earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. Basic earnings per
share was $0.13 cents per share versus $0.19 cents per share last year. The
decrease in earnings from the same period one year ago was due to the decreased
revenues coupled with decreased profit margins for the oil and gas services
segment offset to some extent by the increase in the profit margins for the
powerboat manufacturing segment.

ITEM 2. CONT'D
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $190,292,000 compared
with $183,092,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of
$7,200,000 or 4%. The oil and gas services segment revenue decreased by less
than 1% and the powerboat manufacturing segment increased 7%. The oil and gas
services revenue has experienced a slight decrease for the nine months as a
result of the overall declines in drilling activity and decreased foreign
activity, primarily in Venezuela, due to the reorganization of the Venezuelan
national oil company. The powerboat manufacturing revenue increased due to
Chaparral's increased market share.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $68,236,000
compared to $64,574,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, an
increase of $3,662,000 or 6%. This increase is comparable to the increase in
sales for the nine months for the powerboat manufacturing segment.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $15,817,000 or $0.54
diluted earnings per share versus net income of $15,628,000 or $0.53 diluted
earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Basic earnings
per share was $0.54 compared to $0.54 for the comparable period last year. The
increase in earnings from the same period one year ago was due to the overall
revenue increase coupled with the improved profit margins for both the oil and
gas services and the powerboat manufacturing segments, offset by an increase in
the effective income tax rate from 34.5% last year to 38% this year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's current ratio remained strong as of September 30, 1998, with
current assets of $76,517,000 exceeding current liabilities of $34,164,000 by a
ratio of 2.2-to-1. This compares to a current ratio of 2.3-to-1 at December 31,
1997.
Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1998 totaling $24,360,000
were primarily for revenue-producing equipment in the oil and gas services
segment. The remainder was spent on various purchases for the other business
segments. Funding for future capital requirements will be provided from
operations.
The Company is in the process of assessing the effect of Year 2000 on the
Company's operating plans and systems. The Company is developing a plan for
identifying,
7 of 11
RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. CONT'D
renovating, testing and implementing its systems for Year 2000 processing and
internal control requirements. The Company is also in the process of developing
strategies for evaluating the risks associated with the Year 2000 issue with
respect to its major customers and suppliers. The cost of becoming Year 2000
compliant has not yet been determined; however, management feels such cost will
not be material to the Company's financial statements.
Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial
condition include "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference which
address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or
anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements regarding
trends in the boating industry, and anticipated trends and similar expressions
concerning matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking
statements.
These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the
Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends,
current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it
believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results
and developments will conform with the Company's expectations, including
economic conditions, conditions in the industries in which the Company operates,
competition, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made are qualified
by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual
results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if
substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or
effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no
obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
