TEAM, INC. REPORTS  FY09 RESULTS; PROVIDES FY2010 GUIDANCE

ALVIN, TX, August 4, 2009---- Team, Inc. (NASDAQ: TISI) today reported net income of $5.6  million ($0.29 per diluted share) and $22.9 million ($1.16 per diluted share) for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, respectively.

“As we work through an extremely difficult near-term market environment, we have maintained strong financial performance and flexibility,” said Phil Hawk, Team’s Chairman and CEO. “As market conditions improve, or other opportunities present themselves, Team is well-positioned to capitalize on them.”

Fiscal Year 2009 Results

Based on the strong growth of its business in the first half of the fiscal year, Team reported the second highest level of profits in its history, which was 3% less than the record performance of last year.  For the 2009 fiscal year, operating income was $41.3 million, operating profit margin as a percentage of revenue was 8.3%, and net income profit margin was 4.6%.  As a result of this performance, the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet.  With strong operating cash flows, Team reduced its total net debt (total debt less cash) by $28 million during the year.  At the end of the fiscal year, Team had in excess of $68 million of borrowing capacity under its existing credit facilities that do not mature until 2012.

Team’s activity levels in the second half of the fiscal year were adversely impacted by the deep recession.  For the fourth quarter, Team revenues were $121.2 million, down 16% from the prior year quarter.  While the rate of decline during the quarter varied somewhat by Division, geography, and service line, virtually all geographic regions and service lines experienced decreases from the prior year.  Total operating profits were $9.7 million.  The operating profit margin as a percentage of revenue was 8.0% in the fourth quarter.

As previously reported, Team has taken steps to reduce its overall cost structure both in its field service locations and in its corporate support activities.  Since the mid-point of the fiscal year, Team’s total employment has declined by approximately 300.  As a result of the cost actions taken, Team expects total support costs in the coming year to be approximately $10 million less than in the recently completed fiscal year.

“We remain confident that market demand for our services will rebound with improving economic conditions and as customers return to steady state maintenance practices,” said Mr. Hawk.  “As the market recovers, we expect to regain our historical growth momentum.  In our view, the basic market fundamentals remain unchanged and Team’s network and service advantages are as robust as ever. ”

Internal Investigation

Separately today, Team filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing an internal investigation and voluntary disclosure to the Department of Justice and to the SEC about possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act  involving what we believe are less than $50,000 of improper payments made over the past five years by local branch employees in Trinidad.

Business Outlook/Guidance for Fiscal Year 2010

Team expects its revenues for the coming full fiscal year (the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010) to be in the range of $460 million to $490 million.  For the same period of time, net income is expected to be in a range of $.85 to $1.05 per fully diluted share.  These expectations anticipate a modest sequential improvement in Team revenues in the second half of the fiscal year. Consistent with its past practices, Team does not provide specific guidance for individual quarters, but will confirm or update its annual guidance at least quarterly.

Earnings Conference Call

In connection with this earnings release, Team will hold its quarterly conference call on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. Central Time (9:00 a.m. Eastern).  The call will be broadcast over the Web and can be accessed on Team’s Website, www.teamindustrialservices.com.  Individuals wishing to participate in the conference call by phone may call 877-826-1586 and use conference code 25115706.
