Commentary
Julio Quintana, TESCO's Chief Executive Officer, commented "Each of our revenue generating segments continues to exhibit positive trends. In the past six months, our Top Drive backlog has grown from 11 units at the end of last year to 22 units at the end of the second quarter and stands at 26 units today. We have also added five units to our top drive rental fleet since the beginning of the year. For our Tubular Services business, we are penetrating new markets, on the back of our CDS(TM) tools, which should serve to increase critical mass and improve future profitability within this segment. Activity in North America continues to strengthen and we are seeing promising opportunities in other key regions around the world. With current market indications, TESCO is looking forward to the second half of 2010."

Q2 2010 Financial and Operating Highlights
Top Drives Segment
------------------
- Revenue from the Top Drive segment for Q2 2010 was $53.5 million, up
3% from revenue of $52.1 million in Q1 2010, primarily due to an
increase in Top Drive rental activities and an increase in average
sales price per unit during the current quarter. Revenue for Q2 2009
was $57.8 million.
- Top Drive sales for Q2 2010 included 13 units (10 new and 3 used from
the rental fleet), compared to 14 units (12 new, 1 from the rental
fleet and 1 consignment sale) sold in Q1 2010 and 28 units sold in Q2
2009 (27 new and 1 from the rental fleet).
- At June 30, 2010, Top Drive backlog was 22 units, with a total value
of $28.5 million, versus 18 units at March 31, 2010, with a total
value of $25.9 million. This compares to a backlog of 10 units at
June 30, 2009, with a total value of $10.0 million. Today, our
backlog stands at 26 units.
- Operating days for the Top Drive rental fleet were 5,524 for Q2 2010
compared to 5,373 in Q1 2010 and were up from 3,682 for Q2 2009. The
improvement from Q2 2009 was primarily due to a recovery in rental
activity throughout our operating units, particularly in North
America, Russia and Latin America.
- Revenue from after-market sales and service for Q2 2010 was $10.8
million, down 1% from revenue of $10.9 million in Q1 2010 and down 9%
from revenue of $11.9 in Q2 2009.
- Our Top Drive operating margins were 24% in Q2 2010, flat with Q1
2010 and up from 17% in Q2 2009.
Tubular Services Segment
------------------------
- Revenue from the Tubular Services segment for Q2 2010 was $29.2
million, down 7% from revenue of $31.3 million in Q1 2010. Revenue
was $27.9 million in Q2 2009. Revenue decreased from Q1 due to lower
offshore proprietary work in the US Gulf and less conventional work
due to spring break-up in Canada. We performed a total of 783
proprietary casing running jobs in Q2 2010 compared to 797 in Q1 2010
and 538 in Q2 2009. We remain focused on converting the market to
running casing with our proprietary CDS(TM) technology.
- Operating Income in the Tubular Services segment for Q2 2010 was $1.7
million, compared to income of $3.5 million in Q1 2010 and loss of
$1.7 million in Q2 2009. The decrease compared to Q1 2010 is
primarily due to a shift from higher margin offshore work to lower
margin onshore work.
CASING DRILLING(TM) Segment
---------------------------
- CASING DRILLING(TM) revenue in Q2 2010 was $2.7 million compared to
$2.6 million in Q1 2010 and $2.7 million in Q2 2009.
- Operating Loss of $2.9 million in our CASING DRILLING(TM) segment for
Q2 2010 was flat compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2010 and down from
$4.9 million in Q2 2009. The improved performance in 2010 versus 2009
is due to cost saving and restructuring initiatives that occurred in
2009.
Other Segments and Expenses
---------------------------
- Corporate costs for Q2 2010 were $8.6 million, compared to $8.5
million for Q1 2010 and $9.3 million in Q2 2009. Total Selling,
General and Administrative costs in Q2 2010 were $11.9 million
compared to $10.8 million in Q1 2010 and $13.2 million in Q2 2009.
The decrease from Q2 2009 was driven by litigation costs incurred
during the prior year's period.
- Research and Engineering costs for Q2 2010 of $2.0 million were up
from $1.6 million in Q1 2010 and $1.8 million in Q2 2009.
- Other Income and Expense, excluding net interest, was negligible for
Q2 2010, compared to income of $0.3 million for Q1 2010 and expense
of $0.9 million in Q2 2009.
- Our effective tax rate for Q2 2010 remained flat at 32% compared to
Q1 2010 and was 54% in Q2 2009.
Financial Condition
-------------------
- At June 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $41.5 million,
compared to $39.9 million at December 31, 2009. During the first
quarter of 2010, we paid the remaining $8.6 million of debt
outstanding under our revolving credit facility and we remain debt-
free at the end of Q2 2010.
- Total capital expenditures were $11.6 million in Q2 2010, compared to
$2.5 million in Q1 2010 and $7.6 million in Q2 2009. We project our
total capital expenditures for 2010 to be between $45 million and $50
million, based on current market conditions.

Our management reports our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP but evaluates Company performance based on non-GAAP measures, of which a primary performance measure is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common stockholders before interest expense, income tax expense, non-cash stock compensation, non-cash impairments, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items. This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because:
- it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company's
operating performance without regard to items such as net interest
expense, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially
from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book
value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method
by which assets were acquired;
- it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results
of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our
capital structure (primarily interest) and asset base (primarily
depreciation and amortization) and actions that do not affect
liquidity (stock compensation expense and non-cash impairments) from
our operating results; and
- it helps investors identify items that are within our operational
control. Depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of
operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase in
accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as
such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.
Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
- as a measure of operating performance because it assists us in
comparing our performance on a consistent basis as it removes the
impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating
results;
- as one method we use to evaluate potential acquisitions;
- in presentations to our Board of Directors to enable them to have the
same consistent measurement basis of operating performance used by
management;
- to assess compliance with financial ratios and covenants included in
our credit agreements; and
- in communications with investors, analysts, lenders, and others
concerning our financial performance.
