Complete Production Services, Inc. Reports Earnings from Continuing Operations of $0.98 Per Diluted Share for the Fourth Quarter of 2011

Houston—(Business Wire)—January 27, 2012—Complete Production Services, Inc. (NYSE: CPX) today reported fourth quarter revenue of $626.8 million, an increase of 12% over the third quarter of 2011, and fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) of $183.9 million, an increase of $34.9 million, or 23%, over the third quarter of 2011 resulting in Adjusted EBITDA margins of 29.3%. Fourth quarter 2011 operating income was $134.7 million, up 32% versus the third quarter of 2011, and fourth quarter net income from continuing operations was $78.0 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, an increase of $22.9 million or $0.29 per diluted share over the prior quarter. Results for the fourth quarter of 2011 include approximately $3.3 million of pre-tax transactional expense associated with the pending merger with Superior Energy Services, Inc. and exclude the results of the rig logistics business which was divested on November 30, 2011.

Revenue for the Completion and Production Services segment during the fourth quarter of 2011 was $603.9 million, an increase of 13% over the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $191.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $37.0 million, or 24%, versus the third quarter of 2011. The improved performance was primarily attributed to new asset deployments including a 49,500 horsepower pressure pumping spread in the Marcellus, under a long-term take or pay contract, contributions from the previously-announced acquisition of a Permian Basin focused pressure pumping and acidizing service company, and a recovery from previously reported items which adversely impacted the third quarter of 2011.

Drilling Services segment revenue was $22.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, versus $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.3 million over the third quarter of 2011 to $7.5 million, primarily due to a new drilling rig that was deployed under a term contract during the fourth quarter of 2011.

In comparison to the fourth quarter of 2010, revenue increased $190.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased $71.1 million, operating income increased $66.4 million, and net income from continuing operations increased by $43.9 million, or $0.55 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the full year 2011, revenue was $2.2 billion, a 51% increase from full year 2010, and Adjusted EBITDA was $590.2 million, up $242.6 million over the prior year. In 2011, operating income was $398.4 million and net income from continuing operations was $217.1 million, or $2.74 per diluted share.

“Our results for the quarter, adjusted for the divestiture of our rig logistics business and merger related expenses, exceeded the guidance we communicated during our third quarter conference call,” commented Joe Winkler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.


“We are pleased with our results and the accomplishments achieved in 2011, which included:

 

   

Assisting our customers in transitioning their focus to the development of oil- and liquid-rich plays by leveraging our:

 

   

New platform in the Permian Basin,

 

   

Expanded market positions in the Bakken, Niobrara, Granite Wash and Eagle Ford basins.

 

   

Divesting non-strategic businesses including our rig logistics operations and our Southeast Asian products business.

 

   

Investing over $420 million into strategic services and geographic markets, including:

 

   

Over 150,000 horsepower of pressure pumping capacity, approximately 80% of which is under long-term take-or-pay agreements,

 

   

Six large diameter, extended reach coiled tubing units.

 

   

Completing $116.8 million in acquisitions.

 

   

Strengthening our balance sheet by reducing net debt $84.5 million to $446.4 million, and finishing the year with a leverage ratio (net debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA) of 0.76x.”

“We are very proud of what our people have accomplished since the company was established, and we believe our business is very well positioned to continue benefiting from trends in North America which are driving completions of service-intensive, multi-stage, long lateral wells. We look forward to completing the merger with Superior Energy Services, Inc. within the next few weeks and contributing to the growth of the combined company,” concluded Mr. Winkler.

Complete Production Services, Inc. is a leading oilfield service provider focused on the completion and production phases of oil and gas wells. The company has established a significant presence in unconventional oil and gas plays in North America that it believes have the highest potential for long-term growth.
