(NYSE: DRQ) today announced net income of $19.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, versus net income of $50.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter 2016 results were favorably impacted by an after-tax foreign exchange gain of $4.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to an after-tax foreign exchange gain of $5.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2015. Total revenues were $123.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $201.4 million for the same period in 2015.

Blake DeBerry, Dril-Quip's President and CEO, stated, "In the face of depressed industry conditions that continued throughout the third quarter of 2016, we were pleased to achieve diluted earnings per share at the high end of our guidance range.  Reduced gross margins were offset by reductions in selling, general and administrative and engineering expenses, as well as a lower-than-expected tax rate.

"Looking ahead, we continue to believe that our strong balance sheet will allow us to take advantage of opportunities that may arise, despite current market conditions.  Our focus will continue to include the pursuit of acquisition candidates, the repurchase of stock through our stock buy-back program and the continuation of our research and development efforts to benefit the Company and our shareholders in the long-term."

In addition, the Company announced that its backlog at September 30, 2016 was approximately $378 million, compared to its June 30, 2016 backlog of approximately $460 million and its September 30, 2015 backlog of approximately $824 million. Based upon current market conditions and excluding foreign currency gains/losses or any unusual items, the Company expects its earnings per diluted share for the quarter ending December 31, 2016 to approximate $0.25 to $0.35 per share. Consistent with our previously announced guidance, the Company expects its full-year 2016 earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $2.10 to $2.20, excluding foreign currency gains/losses or any unusual items.
