EX-99.1 2 h89180ex99-1.txt PRESS RELEASE - SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS 1 EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC. P.O. BOX 60068 HOUSTON, TX 77205-0068 WEBSITE ADDRESS: smith.com FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2001 CONTACT: MARGARET K. DORMAN CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (281) 443-3370 SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OF 75 CENTS PER SHARE HOUSTON, Texas (July 18, 2001)... Smith International, Inc. (NYSE: SII) today announced second quarter net income of $37.7 million, or 75 cents per share, on revenues of $872.4 million. In the comparable period of the prior year, the Company reported earnings of $15.0 million, or 30 cents per share, on revenues of $657.2 million. Revenues grew 33 percent over the second quarter of 2000, as improved activity levels across all geographic regions impacted demand for the Company's products and services and influenced pricing in the oilfield segment operations. The majority of the base business revenue growth was reported in the United States and Europe/Africa, including the North Sea, West Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Incremental revenues from acquisitions completed during the prior twelve-month period also contributed to the reported increase, accounting for approximately one-third of the quarter-to-quarter revenue improvement. After excluding the effect of acquired and divested operations, oilfield segment revenues were 29 percent above the amounts reported in the prior year quarter and compared to a 27 percent increase in drilling activity levels period-to-period. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported net income of $71.9 million, or $1.42 per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $1.7 billion. In the comparable period of the prior year, earnings were $26.3 million, or 52 cents per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $1.3 billion. Revenues grew across all business units and geographic areas with the majority of the increase attributable to improved North American activity levels and acquisitions. 2 M-I's revenues were $392.4 million, a 33 percent increase over the second quarter of 2000. Increased demand for base-fluid products, attributable to a 40 percent improvement in U.S. land-directed drilling, accounted for the majority of the organic revenue growth over the second quarter of 2000. To a lesser extent, increased rig activity in the offshore markets favorably impacted drilling and completion fluid sales and the related engineering service revenue. SWACO's revenues more than doubled over the prior year period due to increased demand for fluid processing equipment and services and the impact of the Sweco transaction, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2000. After excluding the effect of acquired operations, revenues were 25 percent above the amounts reported in the prior year quarter. Smith Bits reported revenues of $101.7 million, an increase of 34 percent over the second quarter of 2000. Although revenue growth was reported in all geographic regions, increased demand for products and services in the United States and Europe/Africa accounted for the majority of the revenue increase over the prior year period. Improved pricing, particularly in the North American market, and the continual introduction of technologically-advanced products and services also contributed to the second quarter's financial results. On a combined basis, sales of petroleum three-cone and diamond bits rose 37 percent over the prior year period, comparing favorably to the 27 percent improvement in average activity levels quarter-to-quarter. Smith Services' revenues totaled $91.4 million for the second quarter of 2001. After excluding the impact of the directional operations divested in January 2001, revenues were 39 percent above the second quarter of 2000. The majority of the revenue increase was generated in the United States; however, strong revenue growth was also reported in areas outside North America, particularly Latin America and the Middle East. The majority of the base business increase related to improved drilling products and services revenues, which grew more than 80 percent over the prior year period. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, Smith Services completed the acquisition of Star Tool Company, which provides fishing services in the U.S. Permian Basin market. 3 Wilson's revenues totaled $286.9 million for the second quarter of 2001, 32 percent above the amount reported in the prior year quarter. The majority of the revenue growth was attributable to the effect of the Van Leeuwen transaction, which was completed in January 2001. Wilson's base revenue growth related primarily to the U.S.energy branches, which benefited from the significantly higher exploration and production activity. Lower spending by customers in the petrochemical market, due to the impact of higher commodity prices on feedstock and operating costs, partially offset this increase. After excluding the impact of the acquired Van Leeuwen operations, revenues increased 12 percent over the second quarter of 2000. Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO, Doug Rock stated, "In spite of the impact of the seasonal break-up in Canada, Smith posted strong sequential earnings growth over the first quarter. Improved North American activity levels have led to favorable pricing in the oilfield product and service lines. Our growth in coming quarters will likely be concentrated in international markets where Smith has significant exposure, particularly the North Sea, the Middle East and West Africa." Loren Carroll, Executive Vice President, also noted that, "Smith's oilfield segment businesses generated operating margins of 14.7 percent, surpassing the level seen during the 1997 fiscal year. Increased profitability levels have favorably impacted operating cash flow, which improved to $88.4 million, or $1.75 per share, for the second quarter of 2001. Operating cash flow consists of earnings before interest, taxes, minority interests plus depreciation and amortization, and is reduced for any minority partner ownership interests in these amounts." Smith International, Inc. is a leading worldwide supplier of premium products and services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the petrochemical industry and other industrial markets through its four principal business units - M-I, Smith Bits, Smith Services and Wilson.
