HOUSTON, July 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- T-3 Energy Services, Inc. ("T-3 Energy") (Nasdaq:TTES) reported second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations of $4.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, up 13% and 11%, respectively, from $3.9 million or $0.36 per diluted share reported for the first quarter 2006 and up 85% and 82%, respectively, from $2.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, reported for the second quarter of 2005. Year to date 2006 income from continuing operations of $8.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, was up 169% and 162%, respectively, from $3.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, reported during 2005. Revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased 7% over the first quarter of 2006 and 52% over the second quarter of 2005. Year to date 2006 revenues increased 65% over the prior year to date. The second quarter 2006 and year to date 2006 financial results include a charge, net of tax, of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, associated with the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123 (R), "Share-Based Payment" effective January 1, 2006. Excluding the impact of the stock based compensation costs, T-3 Energy's income from continuing operations increased 99% and 185% from the second quarter of 2005 and year to date 2005, respectively.
For the second quarter of 2006 and year to date 2006, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA (defined as income from continuing operations, excluding stock based compensation costs, plus interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization), of $8.4 million and $15.8 million, respectively, a 64% and 109% increase over the same periods for 2005, respectively.
The Company's increase in revenues was primarily attributable to improved demand for its products and services resulting from higher price levels for oil and correspondingly higher levels of construction of drilling rigs that require the type of equipment T-3 manufactures. As a result, backlog has increased to $56.7 million at June 30, 2006, a 195% increase over June 30, 2005 backlog of $19.2 million. Management also believes that its T-3 branded products continue to gain market acceptance, resulting in greater sales to customers that use its products in both their domestic and in international operations. For example, T-3 original equipment revenues have increased 90% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. The T-3 Rockies acquisition, which was completed in January 2006, has positively impacted the Company's 2006 results and management sees excellent opportunities in that region for future growth in all of its product lines.
Gus D. Halas, T-3 Energy's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "T-3 performed well in the second quarter as orders for our original equipment products continue to strengthen. Consolidated revenues for the quarter and year to date reflect increased market activity in all the Company's product lines. We are beginning to see the effects of our manufacturing capacity expansion program that we began to implement in the first half of 2006. While our geographical expansion program is still in process, we expect that these locations will be beneficial to the future operating results of the Company. Our engineering group continues to focus on the development and design of new products in the pressure and flow control product line, and we have increased the group's staffing to focus on our wellhead product line. Our goal is to continue to increase our market share with new products and geographical expansion."
T-3 Energy Services, Inc. provides a broad range of oilfield products and services primarily to customers in the drilling and completion of new oil and gas wells, the workover of existing wells and the production and transportation of oil and gas.

(A) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-generally accepted accounting principle, or GAAP, financial measure equal to income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, excluding stock-based compensation costs, plus interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we use Adjusted EBITDA as an integral part of our internal reporting to measure our performance and to evaluate the performance of our senior management. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the operational strength of our business. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
-- as a measure of operating performance that assists us in comparing our performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results; -- as a measure for budgeting and for evaluating actual results against our budgets; -- to assess compliance with financial ratios and covenants included in our senior credit facility; -- in communications with lenders concerning our financial performance; and -- to evaluate the viability of potential acquisitions and overall rates of return.
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation and amortization. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets and the impact of related impairments through other financial measures, such as capital expenditures, investment spending and return on capital. Therefore, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to our investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either income from continuing operations as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent funds available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Adjusted EBITDA measure presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.
(B) Non-GAAP income from continuing operations is equal to income from continuing operations plus stock-based compensation costs, net of tax. Non-GAAP continuing operations diluted earnings per share is equal to continuing operations diluted earnings per share plus stock-based compensation costs, net of tax per share. We have presented Non-GAAP income from continuing operations and Non-GAAP continuing operations diluted earnings per share because the Company believes that reporting income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share excluding stock-based compensation costs provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's on-going economic performance and, therefore, uses this financial measure internally to evaluate and manage the Company's operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of the operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
