HOUSTON, June 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) reported that a combination of factors, including the continued decrease in the U.S. land drilling rig count, certain customers drilling wells but electing not to complete them, reduced pricing for certain completion service offerings and the recent heavy rainfall across Texas and Oklahoma have negatively impacted results for its well site services segment during the second quarter of 2015. These factors have caused Oil States to revise its second quarter 2015 guidance lower for its well site services segment. Revenues for the segment are now expected to range from $85 million to $90 million with EBITDA margins averaging 13% to 14%. This compares to prior second quarter guidance given on April 30, 2015 for well site services revenues of $110 million to $120 million with EBITDA margins averaging 19% to 21%.
"Oil States, like many of our counterparts in the sector, has been impacted by the current downturn in activity driven by the lower crude oil price environment. While we continue to work diligently to address and control our cost structure and spending, we are dealing with a very challenged market. However, I am very confident that our Company will emerge from this cyclical downturn well positioned both operationally and financially," said Cindy B. Taylor, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer.
