Boots & Coots Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
Tuesday March 20, 6:43 pm ET
Company Realizes Strongest Year in History

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (AMEX:WEL - News), reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $4.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $33.7 million compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company reported EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization; see the reconciliation and rationale for this non-GAAP financial measure below) of $8.9 million for the 2006 fourth quarter compared to $1.9 million for the 2005 fourth quarter. The 2006 fourth quarter includes the operating results for the hydraulic workover/snubbing business acquired effective as of March 1, 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share for 2005. Revenues for the year were $97.0 million compared to $29.5 million for 2005. EBITDA was $24.8 million in 2006 compared to $5.3 million for the prior year. Included in the 2006 operating results is ten months of results from the Company's acquired hydraulic workover/snubbing business. Boots & Coots recognized an effective tax rate of 34.4% in 2006 compared to 28.9% in 2005.

"2006 was a true milestone for Boots & Coots. In 2005, our response business accounted for more than 50% of our revenue mix. In 2006 it accounted for less than 22%, thanks to our acquired hydraulic workover/snubbing services and our growing Safeguard business," stated Jerry Winchester, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In 2006 we exceeded $100 million in revenues on a pro forma basis. Pro forma revenues were $105.6 million, 52% higher than 2005 pro forma revenues, with Well Intervention growing 58% and Response growing 30%.

"Growth in both segments reflects our strategy of gaining a geographic presence and then expanding that presence with additional service offerings. Our successes in Algeria and more recently in Libya are both great examples of this strategy, and we plan to use those as blueprints to expand our presence in other countries as well as here at home."

Business Segment Results

Well Intervention

For the 2006 fourth quarter, the Well Intervention segment generated revenues of $22.5 million and EBITDA of $4.2 million compared to $3.5 million in revenues and $0.7 million in EBITDA in the 2005 fourth quarter, reflecting a revenue increase of 539% and an EBITDA increase of 520%. These increases were due primarily to the inclusion of results for the hydraulic well control business from and after March 1, 2006, the effective date of the acquisition, and quarter-over-quarter growth in the Company's Safeguard services of 106%. The hydraulic well control business contributed $15.8 million in revenues and $2.2 million in EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the year, Well Intervention generated $76.7 million in revenues and $16.5 million in EBITDA, up 453% and 478%, respectively, in 2006 compared to revenues of $13.9 million and EBITDA of $2.8 million in 2005. The hydraulic well control business contributed $53.8 million in revenues and $13.0 million in EBITDA for the period from March 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

Response

For the 2006 fourth quarter, the Response segment generated revenues of $11.2 million and EBITDA of $4.8 million compared to $2.4 million in revenues and $1.3 million in EBITDA in the 2005 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2006, the Response segment generated $20.4 million in revenues and $8.3 million in EBITDA compared to $15.7 million in revenues and EBITDA of $2.4 million for 2005. Margins improved due to reduced third party pass-through charges, favorable pricing and operating leverage gained on increased activity.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, consultants and directors; including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred non-cash charges of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, respectively, related to share based awards as compared to zero in both comparable periods in 2005.

First Quarter Update

The company expects revenues and net income in the first quarter of 2007 to be down from the fourth quarter of 2006. Response revenues will be significantly lower in the first quarter of 2007 and certain Well Intervention projects of customers in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela have been delayed. "The second quarter is historically a stronger quarter in the Gulf of Mexico so we expect that callout work will increase going forward," stated Mr. Winchester. "Based on our operating history, the apparent backlog in Venezuela and delays resulting from the change in operating control of fields, we expect those projects to resume in due course." Due to the cyclical nature of the Response business, as evidenced by the concentration of 2006 Response work in the last two quarters of the year, the company's Response revenues for the first quarter will approach the level of the first quarter of 2006.

Conference Call

Boots & Coots will hold its quarterly conference call to discuss 2006 results tomorrow, March 21, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Time).

(a) Earnings before Interest, Income taxes, Depreciation, Depletion
and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it
excludes amounts or is subject to adjustments that effectively
exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in financial
statements. "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by
management are provided as additional information to investors in
order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our
financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in
accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from
or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, whenever we
refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we also present the most
directly comparable financial measure and presented in accordance
with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the
non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP financial
measure. Management believes that EBITDA may provide additional
information with respect to the Company's performance or ability to
meet its debt service and working capital requirements.

RedChip Independent Issues 4Q 2007 Research Update On Boots & Coots International Well Control
Friday April 4, 10:50 am ET


ORLANDO, Fla., April 4, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- RedChip Independent, a division of RedChip Companies, Inc., has issued a 4Q 2007 research update for Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (AMEX:WEL - News), a global emergency response company specializing in the needs of the oil and gas industries.


Paul Rapa, MBA, RedChip Research Analyst, reported:

``WEL reported record revenue for the fourth quarter, moving the Company over the $100 million milestone for the year and steaming ahead of analyst estimates.

``We believe oil prices will continue to increase, thereby continuing to create unique opportunities for Boots & Coots. Additionally, WEL should see continued growth from their contracts in the Middle East and North Africa, and the Company sees promise in its domestic tool rental segment,'' Rapa continued.

``We reiterate our 'Buy' rating for WEL and believe 2008 will shape up to be a very successful year for the Company. We believe that the Company is being very conservative in their estimated earnings per share and that the Company is extremely undervalued,'' Rapa concluded.
