EX-99 2 h16794exv99.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 9, 2004 EXHIBIT 99 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Rose Bratton 281-406-2212 Investor Contact: David Tucker 281-406-2370 PARKER DRILLING ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER CONFERENCE CALL HOUSTON, July 9, 2004 -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) will host its second quarter conference call at 10 a.m. CDT (11 a.m. EDT) on Tuesday, August 3, 2004. Earnings for the quarter will be released that morning prior to the call. Those interested in participating in the call may dial in at (303) 262-2175. The conference call replay can be accessed from noon CDT August 3, 2004, until 6 p.m. CDT August 10, 2004, by dialing (303) 590-3000 and using the access code 11002920#. Alternatively, the call can be accessed live through the Parker Web site at http://www.parkerdrilling.com. An archive of the call will be available on the Web for 12 months. A summary of operations and financial conditions of the company will be presented by members of the Parker management team, followed by questions from the listening audience. While the Company's expectations are consistent with First Call estimates of a net loss of $0.05 per share for ongoing operations, the Company will incur additional non-recurring charges approximating $8 million during the quarter. The majority of these charges are for additional impairment of the Company's Latin America assets as a result of reclassifying these assets from Discontinued Operations to Continuing Operations, and the remainder is due to personnel-related charges.
