Complete Production Services Reports Second-Quarter Earnings Per Share of $0.39

Complete Production Services, Inc. (NYSE:CPX) today
reported second quarter 2006 net income of $27.2 million, or $0.39 per
diluted share on revenue of $275.4 million compared to net income of
$8.4 million or $0.17 per diluted share on revenue of $168.6 million
for the second quarter of 2005. This represents a 224% increase in net
income and a 63% increase in revenue over the same period in 2005.
Operating income of $51.4 million increased 114% year-over-year
resulting in an operating profit margin of 18.7% as compared to 14.2%
in the prior year quarter. Segment revenues increased on a
year-over-year basis with Completion and Production services up 62%
compared to the second quarter of 2005, Drilling Services up 78%, and
Product Sales up 52% over the same period.
"Quarter two results reflect the impact of our growth strategy.
Revenues, earnings and margins increased year-over-year due to higher
demand for our services, improved pricing, our investment in capital
equipment and selective acquisitions," commented Joe Winkler,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "As expected, our second
quarter results were impacted by the typical seasonal decline in the
Canadian market."
The Company continued its investment program during the second
quarter investing $73.5 million in capital equipment. In addition, the
Company closed two acquisitions at and subsequent to quarter end for
total consideration of approximately $31 million cash. These
transactions will augment future growth, with one a rental and fishing
company having a presence in the Fayetteville Shale, and the other a
fluid handling operation in East Texas. "It is exciting to see our
acquisition program result in two additions in the last 30 days and we
expect to be able to announce more in the future," added Mr. Winkler.
"Our outlook is positive as we see continued strong demand for our
services. We expect to benefit from the various price initiatives
implemented during the course of the year, our investment in capital
equipment and our acquisition program. Year to date, we have spent
$132.4 million on capital equipment, the full benefit of which will
occur in the second half of 2006 and beyond. Based upon the demand for
our services, we are increasing our 2006 capital equipment forecast by
approximately $30.0 million to approximately $230.0 million," said Mr.
Winkler.
As a result of the recent initial public offering, the Company
reduced total debt to approximately $441 million and ended the quarter
with cash and cash investments of approximately $123 million.

using a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated as
net income before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and minority interest. EBITDA is not a substitute for
GAAP measures of earnings and cash flow. EBITDA is used in this press

measure of performance and believes it is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the
evaluation of companies in our industry.
