Quarter-end backlog of $96 million

PLANO, Texas, April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGE) today announced record financial results for the first quarter of 2012.  Revenues grew 33% to $67.0 million from $50.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.  Net income more than doubled to $12.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.  First quarter 2012 EBITDA* (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) increased 94% to $26.2 million compared to $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are extremely pleased with our record results for the first quarter.  This is the best quarter ever for the company in terms of revenue, operating and net income, earnings per share, and EBITDA.  Our performance was primarily driven by seasonal strength in Canada and the improved land seismic acquisition market in the U.S., resulting in higher capacity utilization of our equipment and increased productivity of our crews. 

"In response to increased demand from our clients, we added three field crews in Canada subsequent to the fourth quarter and operated 15 crews in North America during the entire first quarter, eight in the U.S. and seven in Canada.  The Canadian winter season essentially ended by mid-April due to the spring breakup, but we anticipate having two crews operating in Canada beginning late in the current quarter.  Also during the second quarter, we expect to continue to operate eight crews in the U.S., where pricing remains competitive.  From a seasonal standpoint, our second quarter is typically the slowest quarter of the year. 

"Our backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $96 million, almost twice what it was at the end of the first quarter of 2011, and is comprised primarily of U.S. backlog.  Over the past two quarters, due to client demand for wireless technology, we have purchased additional GSR data acquisition units, enabling us to field the largest fleet of single-channel GSR wireless data acquisition units in North America.  As a result of the current backlog and our outlook for the remainder of 2012, we are looking at the possibility of adding a ninth crew in the U.S. by the middle of the summer.

"We ended the first quarter with $10.7 million in cash, and we remain in a strong position, both financially and operationally, to take advantage of ongoing favorable market conditions in the seismic industry for the remainder of 2012."

Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased to $67.0 million from $50.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.  The Company operated 15 crews in North America for the entire first quarter, eight crews in the U.S. and seven crews in Canada.  This compares to 13 crews in North America in the 2011 first quarter, seven crews in the U.S. and six in Canada.

Gross margin in the 2012 first quarter increased to 42.5% compared to 31.8% in the first quarter of 2011.  Cost of services as a percentage of revenues declined to 57.5% from 68.2% a year ago due to a larger number of operating crews along with better productivity, especially in Canada.  Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") declined to $2.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.  As a percentage of revenues, SG&A for the first quarter decreased to 3.4% from 5.0% in the first quarter of 2011.

Net income increased to $12.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.  In the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.8 million, an effective tax rate of 39%.  This compares to income tax expense of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2011, an effective tax rate of 35%.   EBITDA* margin increased to 39.1% compared to 26.8% in the first quarter of 2011.
