HOUSTON, Aug. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTES) reported second quarter 2009 net income of $4.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. For the first quarter of 2009, net income was $3.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges for separation and acquisition costs of $4.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share after tax. Excluding these items, net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2009 were $6.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.
Revenues for the second quarter decreased 11.2% to $55.7 million from $62.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. During the quarter, industry declines and the seasonal spring break-up in Canada caused average worldwide rig counts to decrease at more than twice this rate, or 25%. For the quarter, revenues on items destined for delivery to customer locations outside the United States represented 61% of total revenues, which is sequentially up from 56% and reflects the Company's continued success in international markets.
Net bookings for the quarter were $41.8 million compared with $46.1 million in the prior quarter, and backlog decreased to $45.4 million at June 30 versus $59.4 million at March 31, 2009. Gross margins were 37% for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 38% for the first quarter.
Steve Krablin, T-3 Energy's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Even though our revenues continued to decline during the second quarter, we maintained our focus on operating efficiencies, international sales and working capital management. As a result, we produced healthy margins by reducing our global workforce and shifting manufacturing to lower cost facilities, particularly our facility in India. We also continue to have success selling into the offshore and international land markets, which remain relatively strong. During the quarter, we reduced our debt by approximately $18 million and, as of today, we have zero debt outstanding under our senior credit facility.
"Subsequent to the end of the quarter, industry activity and Company bookings appear to be stabilizing or even improving modestly. In this environment, we anticipate that overall Company revenues will approximate bookings over the next 2-3 quarters. One exception to this is our wellhead business unit, which should increase revenues by several million dollars related to an international order that we expect to complete and ship during the third quarter."
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.

(B) Represents costs of $145,000 before tax and $94,000 after tax related to the acquisition of the surface wellhead business of Azura Energy Systems Surface, Inc., as well as costs of $199,000 before tax and $130,000 after tax related to abandoned acquisitions. (C) Represents costs of $2.5 million before tax and $1.6 million after tax related to the pursuit of strategic alternatives for the Company. (D) The Company has presented non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP continuing operations diluted earnings per share because we believe that reporting income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share excluding the separation costs, acquisition-related costs and strategic alternatives costs provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's on- going economic performance. We use this financial measure internally to evaluate and manage the Company's operations, and we believe many investors use similar comparisons of the operating results. (E) Provision for income taxes in the adjusted EBITDA calculation has been increased by $865,000 for the tax effect of the strategic alternative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Provision for income taxes in the adjusted EBITDA calculation has been increased by $1.4 million for the tax effect of the separation costs and by $120,000 for the tax effect of the acquisition-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009. (F) Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. Management uses adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's on-going economic performance and, therefore, we use 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 similar comparisons of operating results.
