RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services and equipment primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015 revenues reduced 19.0 percent to $406.3 million contrast to $501.7 million in the first quarter of last year. Revenues reduced contrast to the preceding year due to lower activity levels and pricing in our major service lines. Operating profit for the quarter was $6.2 million contrast to operating profit of $65.2 million in the preceding year. Net income for the quarter was $7.5 million or $0.04 diluted earnings per share, contrast to $39.4 million or $0.18 diluted earnings per share last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reduced by 35.5 percent to $77.9 million contrast to $120.8 million in the preceding year.

Cost of revenues during the first quarter of 2015 was $292.4 million, or 72.0 percent of revenues, contrast to $330.0 million, or 65.8 percent of revenues during the first quarter of last year. Cost of revenues reduced due to lower costs resulting from lower activity levels, reduced incentive compensation, and price reductions from suppliers, partially offset by the impact of a change in accounting estimate related to component replacements. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cost of components installed as replacement parts totaling about $7.9 million have been charged to cost of revenues, as a result of this change in accounting estimate, rather than being capitalized. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues raised contrast to the preceding year due to significantly lower pricing for our services and cost inefficiencies resulting from lower activity levels.

RPC, Inc. provides a range of oilfield services and equipment for oil and gas companies involved in the exploration, production, and development of oil and gas properties in the United States, Africa, Canada, China, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and New Zealand.
