ISRAMCO, INC. Reports Second Quarter Results
 
Houston, Texas, August 8, 2014 – Isramco, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISRL) today reported revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2014, of $23,233,000, compared to revenues of $17,038,000 for the same quarter of 2013, a 36% increase. This was primarily due to growth in Isramco’s well service segment, which increased revenues to $7,482,000 compared to $2,993,000 for the corresponding period in 2013, and to higher production volumes and sale prices for natural gas and crude oil in the United States Revenues derived from domestic sales increased to $10,073,000 from $9,159,000 for the same period in 2013. Isramco’s overriding royalty interest in the Tamar Field offshore Israel, also generated increased net revenues of $5,112,000, as compared to $4,641,000 in 2013.

The Company reported net income of $3,939,000, or $1.46 per share, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $3,172,000, or $1.14, per share, for the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to royalty revenues from the Tamar Field and increased revenues from domestic production. These increases in revenue were partially offset by related increases in operating expenses.

The Company reported net income of $8,124,000, or $2.96 per share, for the six months ending June 30, 2014, as compared to a net income of $2,663,000 or $0.96 per share, for the comparable six month period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to Isramco’s overriding royalty interest in the Tamar Field, which generated $10,214,000 in net revenues as compared to $4,641,000 in 2013.
