T-3 Announces Third Quarter 2009 Earnings


HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTES) reported third quarter 2009 net income of $4.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009. The current quarter results include the benefit of an insurance claim settlement related to Hurricane Ike of just under $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share after tax.

Revenues for the third quarter decreased to $47.5 million from $55.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. While backlog decreased to $41.2 million at September 30 versus $45.4 million at June 30, 2009, net bookings for the quarter increased slightly to $43.3 million compared to $41.8 million in the prior quarter.

Steve Krablin, T-3's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our revenues, earnings and backlog continue to benefit from relatively stronger offshore and international markets. Third quarter revenues on products destined for international delivery represented 50% of total revenues, down from 61% in the prior quarter. Deliveries destined for international markets made up 75% of third quarter backlog, compared to 60% at the end of the second quarter. One large international order that we had anticipated completing and shipping in the third quarter was delayed into the fourth quarter of 2009, and will represent over $5 million in revenues for us in that period.

"We were pleased to record an uptick in bookings in the quarter, especially for our early cycle items including remanufacturing, repair and service. Since the end of the quarter, we have had continued success with international orders, which we believe indicates the bottoming process for our business has begun. While we anticipate that fourth quarter bookings may be affected by an expected seasonal year-end slowdown, we believe the longer-term strengthening trend should remain. For the fourth quarter, we anticipate earnings to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.26 per share."
