TGC Industries Reports Record First Quarter Results
MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2005 6:00 AM
- PR Newswire


TGE
4.15 +0.70



PLANO, Texas, April 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced record first quarter 2005 net income of $1,073,169 (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) on record revenues of $5,753,743.

The first quarter revenues of $5,753,743 increased 94 percent, compared with last year`s first quarter revenues of $2,970,872. The revenue increase was primarily due to the Company`s operating three field crews in the first quarter of 2005 versus two field crews in the first quarter of 2004, as well as increased productivity derived from the new ARAM ARIES recording system, which was put into service in the fourth quarter of 2004.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $1,967,861 for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $986,943 for the same period of 2004. A reconciliation of EBITDA to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

Net income for the first quarter of 2005 increased 36 percent to $1,073,169 (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) compared with net income of $789,515 (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2005 increased 28 percent to $0.09 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the same period in 2004. The company recorded income tax expense of $356,804 ($0.03 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2005. However, as a result of having had a net operating loss carryforward, no income tax expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2004.

Wayne Whitener, President and Chief Executive Officer of TGC Industries, said, "We are very pleased to be operating at this level of performance in terms of revenue and income growth. Our three seismic crews are operating at increasing levels of capacity, and we remain optimistic about our business for the remainder of the year. In addition, we anticipate taking delivery of four additional vibrator units in the second quarter of 2005. These units will increase the capabilities of the Company thereby enhancing service to our clients.

"We are also pleased to report that as of last Monday, April 18, 2005, TGC Industries has been trading on the American Stock Exchange. We expect the Exchange listing to increase liquidity in our shares as we strive to execute our growth strategy."

TGC, based in Plano, Texas, is a geophysical service company which primarily provides 3-D seismic services to oil and gas companies. It also maintains a geophysical gravity data bank.

TGC Industries Announces the Redemption of Its Series C 8% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2005 6:00 AM
- PR Newswire

TGE
5.65 -0.02


PLANO, Texas, June 20, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) announced today that the Company`s Board of Directors has approved the redemption by the Company of all of its currently outstanding Series C 8% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. This redemption privilege is contained in the Resolution establishing such Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors noted that with only 5,250 shares of such Preferred Stock currently outstanding, the Company can eliminate unnecessary administrative expenses by redeeming all of such Preferred Stock.

The redemption price will be $5.00 per share plus a premium of 40% per share (i.e., $2.00 per share). In addition, each share will be entitled to receive the regular $0.20 dividend which will have accrued for the first half of the year. Thus, the redemption price will be $7.20 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of payment of the redemption price).

Under the terms of each Preferred Stock certificate, the holder also has the right to convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock of the Company; provided that such conversion is completed prior to the redemption date.

Since all of the Preferred Stock is held in street name, the Company will provide to Depository Trust Company ("DTC") written notice of this redemption, and DTC will make such notice available to all beneficial owners of the Preferred Stock. Each beneficial owner will be asked to contact DTC and advise as to whether such owner is in agreement with the redemption or wishes to exercise the election to convert the Preferred Stock into TGC Common Stock. In the event such owner does not carry out such conversion prior to June 30, such owner`s Preferred Stock will be automatically redeemed in accordance with the terms stated above.

From and after the date the Company pays the redemption price to each such holder (regardless of whether or not the certificates representing Preferred Stock have been turned in), the shares of Preferred Stock represented by each holder`s certificate or certificates will no longer be deemed outstanding, the rights to receive dividends and distributions will cease, and all of the rights of such holder of Preferred Stock in the Company will terminate.

A copy of the Notice of Redemption which explains the redemption procedures can be obtained by each beneficial owner by contacting the Company`s website (http://www.tgcseismic.com -- "Notice of Redemption").

TGE
5.40 +0.29


PLANO, Texas, June 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) announced today that, as a result of an increase in demand for the Company`s oil and gas exploration 3-D seismic services, the Company has secured a sufficient number of additional contracts to deploy a fourth seismic crew. The new seismic crew is expected to be operational during the month of July.

Wayne Whitener, President and CEO of TGC Industries, stated: "Oil and gas companies are experiencing an increased level of activity in their domestic oil and gas exploration programs." Consequently, demand for domestic 3-D seismic crews is increasing, and the purchase of the new ARAM ARIES system should enable the Company to meet the growing needs of its clients.

Though there can be no assurance, should this increased level of activity in the industry continue during the remainder of 2005, management believes that the Company will be able to operate at the four-crew level through at least the remainder of 2005. The preceding sentence contains a "forward- looking statement" (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflects the view of Company`s management with respect to future events.

das Teil ist sicher nicht schlecht.
Das Problem ist, dass zur Zeit auf dem Öl/Gas-Sektor jeden Tag eine neue Sau durchs Dorf getrieben wird.

Das wird sich aber mit der Zeit regulieren.

TGC Industries Reports Record Second Quarter Results
MONDAY, JULY 25, 2005 6:00 AM


PLANO, Texas, July 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced record second quarter 2005 net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,792,228 on record revenues of $7,193,981.

SECOND QUARTER 2005

Second quarter revenues of $7,193,981 increased 50 percent from last year`s second quarter revenues of $4,783,197. The revenue increase was due primarily to the Company`s operation of three field crews in the second quarter of 2005 versus two field crews during most of the second quarter of 2004, as well as increased productivity derived from the use of its first ARAM ARIES seismic recording system, which was put into service in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Income from operations before income taxes during the second quarter of 2005 increased to $2,188,676 compared to $520,249 during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 61 percent of revenues this year from 83 percent of revenues last year. EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased to $2,756,883 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $763,932 for the same period of 2004. A reconciliation of EBITDA to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the second quarter of 2005 more than tripled to $1,792,228 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $520,249 for the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2005 increased to $0.14 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the same period in 2004. The company recorded income tax expense of $396,448 ($0.03 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2005. However, as a result of having had a net operating loss carryforward, no income tax expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2004.

Wayne Whitener, President and Chief Executive Officer of TGC Industries, said, "In terms of revenue and income growth, we are very pleased to continue operating at this level of performance. Thanks to increasing levels of land seismic activity, we were able to add a second ARAM ARIES seismic recording system late in the second quarter, and we launched our fourth field crew in early July. These seismic crews are operating at increasing levels of capacity, and we remain optimistic about our business for the next 12 to 18 months. In addition, we took delivery of four additional vibrator units during the second quarter of 2005, which are enhancing our capabilities, thereby providing increased service and flexibility to our customers."

YEAR-TO-DATE 2005

Revenues for the first half of 2005 increased 67 percent to $12,947,724 from $7,754,069 during the same period last year. Income from operations rose from $1,309,764 during the first half of 2004 to $3,618,649 this year. EBITDA increased more than 2.5 times during the first half of 2005 to $4,724,744 from $1,750,875 during the same period last year.

Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the first six months of 2005 increased to $2,865,397 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,309,764 for the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2005 more than doubled to $0.23 from $0.11 during the first half of 2004.

Dawson Geophysical Company Reports Third Quarter Results
WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2005 5:21 PM

MIDLAND, Texas, July 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Dawson Geophysical Company (DWSN) today reported revenues of $31,500,000 for the third quarter of its 2005 fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 compared to $17,112,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase of 84 percent. For the nine months ending June 30, revenues were $79,574,000 compared to $47,790,000 in the 2004 period, an increase of 66 percent. The Company`s revenue growth is due to the rapid expansion from seven seismic data acquisition crews in June 2004 to the current level of eleven, price improvements in the markets for its services and more favorable contract terms with client companies.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $3,357,000 ($0.45 per share) compared to $1,989,000 ($0.35 per share) in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. Earnings for the June quarter were positively impacted by extremely favorable weather conditions and crew productivity early in the quarter. Weather conditions for the remainder of the quarter were less favorable. The Company has yet to realize the full effect of the eleventh crew which was placed into service in May. Reflected in the current quarter`s earning per share data is the full effect of the 1,800,000 additional shares issued in a public offering completed in March of 2005. For the nine months ending June 30, net income was $7,284,000 ($1.11 per share) compared to $4,494,000 ($0.80 per share) in the prior year period. The Company`s EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $7,570,000 as compared to $3,145,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2004.

Demand for the Company`s services continues at record levels as a result of continued brisk exploration and development activity by the Company`s client base due to higher oil and gas prices. The Company believes its current order book is sufficient to maintain operations at full capacity well into the first quarter of calendar 2006.

The Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved an additional $5,250,000 of capital expenditures bringing the approved capital budget for fiscal 2005 to $37,250,000. Capital expenditures through the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 were $34,433,000. While no increase in the Company`s crew count is currently anticipated, the Company continues to grow and expend capital by upgrading its recording capacity, expanding the channel count of existing crews, adding to its energy source fleet, and making technical improvements in all phases of its operations. These additions present opportunities for revenue growth and profitability as the Company responds to its clients desire for higher resolution subsurface images.

Dawson Geophysical Company is the leading provider of U.S. onshore seismic data acquisition services as measured by the number of active data acquisition crews. Founded in 1952, Dawson acquires and processes 2-D, 3-D, and multi- component seismic data solely for its clients, ranging from major oil and gas companies to independent oil and gas operators as well as providers of multi- client data libraries.

This press release contains information about the Company`s EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess:

* the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing
methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis;
* its liquidity and operating performance over time in relation to other
companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes
calculate EBITDA in a similar manner; and
* the ability of the Company`s assets to generate cash sufficient for
the Company to pay potential interest costs.


The Company also understands that such data are used by investors to assess the Company`s performance. However, the term EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles and EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When assessing the Company`s operating performance or liquidity, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Company`s EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similar titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as the Company. Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of the Company`s EBITDA to its net income is presented in the table following the text of this press release.

In accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Dawson Geophysical Company cautions that statements in this press release which are forward-looking and which provide other than historical information involve risks and uncertainties that may materially affect the Company`s actual results of operations. These risks include, but are not limited to, dependence upon energy industry spending, the volatility of oil and gas prices, weather interruptions, the ability to obtain land access rights of way and the availability of capital resources. A discussion of these and other factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Company`s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. Dawson Geophysical Company disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

TGC Industries Reports Third Quarter Results
MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2005 6:00 AM
- PR Newswire


PLANO, Texas, Oct 31, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced third quarter 2005 revenues of $7,986,647 compared to $6,872,740 for the third quarter of 2004. Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the 2005 third quarter was $820,629 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,037,664 for the same period of 2004 due to a higher income tax expense in the current year and the benefit from a net operating loss carry-forward in the comparable quarter a year ago. Pro forma net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock), equalizing income tax rates for both periods at 38 percent, increased 24 percent from $660,257, or $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2004, to $820,629, or $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of pro forma net income data (a non- GAAP financial measure) to actual income data can be found in the financial tables.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased 77 percent to $2,348,535 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1,329,433 for the same period of 2004. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues increased to 29.4 percent for the third quarter of 2005 from 19.3 percent for the same period of last year. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries` President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our continued strong operating performance. Our four field crews are operating at increasing levels of capacity, and we remain on track to add a fifth field crew in the very near future. Furthermore, our current backlog of business provides us with excellent visibility for the first half of 2006. In addition, we just successfully completed a 5.5 million share common stock offering that enabled us to retire all of our outstanding warrants and create a restructured balance sheet that provides us with increased financial flexibility. Simultaneously with the closing of the offering, all of the Company`s 8.5% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into common stock, and the Company`s only class of securities is common stock with 14,547,437 shares currently outstanding."

THIRD QUARTER 2005

Third quarter revenues of $7,986,647 increased 16 percent from last year`s third quarter revenues of $6,872,740. The revenue increase was due primarily to the addition of a fourth crew to the Company`s operations in late July versus three field crews during the third quarter of 2004, as well as increased productivity derived from the use of its second ARAM ARIES seismic recording system, which was put into service in July of 2005.

Income from operations during the third quarter of 2005, which included start-up costs of the new crew, increased 34 percent to $1,435,599 compared to $1,071,476 during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 64.3 percent of revenues this year from 76.3 percent of revenues last year. Income before income taxes increased 24 percent to $1,324,607 from $1,064,930 in the third quarter of 2004. Income before income taxes as a percentage of revenues increased from 15.5 percent during the third quarter of 2004 to 16.6 percent during the third quarter of this year, despite a $104,446 increase in interest expense and the aforementioned start-up costs. The increase in interest expense was due to higher debt levels associated with the purchase of the Company`s two ARAM ARIES systems.

Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the 2005 third quarter was $820,629, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1,037,664, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004. The company recorded income tax expense of $503,978 ($0.04 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2005, a 38 percent effective tax rate, compared to an immaterial amount of income tax expense in the third quarter of 2004 due to the benefit of a net operating loss carry-forward.

YEAR TO DATE 2005

Revenues for the first nine months of 2005 increased 43 percent to $20,934,371 from $14,626,809 during the same period last year. Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the first nine months of 2005 increased to $3,686,026 compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $2,347,428 for the same period of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2005 increased 50 percent to $0.30 from $0.20 during the same period in 2004.

Beginning in the third quarter 2005, the Company applied a 38 percent effective tax rate (34 percent federal rate and 4 percent state rate) to its income. Therefore, the Company has made pro forma adjustments to the earnings and earnings per share information for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 to reflect the 38 percent effective tax rate in order to provide investors with net income results that reflect the tax rate.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus expenses of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess: (i) the financial performance of the Company`s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis; (ii) the Company`s liquidity and operating performance over time and in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes calculate EBITDA in a similar manner; and (iii) the ability of the Company`s assets to generate cash sufficient to the Company to pay potential interest expenses.

The Company understands that investors use EBITDA to assess the Company`s performance. However, EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). When assessing the Company`s operating performance or the Company`s liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for the Company`s net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

WASHINGTON (GrowthReport) -- Months after the three sisters of Katrina, Rita, and Wilma wreaked havoc on major oil and gas refining facilities on the Gulf Coast, crude oil continues to trade in the mid-$60s per barrel, easily within striking distance of its all time high.

In spite of a mild winter in the Northeast, concerns of potential supply issues in Iran and Nigeria have helped keep oil prices near record highs.

Think you`ve missed out on the oil and gas bull market? Think again.

While 2005 was a spectacular year for many oil and gas producers, exploration companies, and service companies, the future remains bright for many companies and shares of their stocks with valuations still looking relatively attractive even after big gains in the last year.

Service companies are perhaps the most attractive play on the oil and gas boom, as they are a bit more insulated against the daily fluctuations in commodity prices. These companies are likely to continue to flourish if oil is able to maintain its trading range of $60 -- $70 per barrel. However, we believe that demand for services in the oil and gas sector will remain strong even in the event that the price of crude were to fall to $40 per barrel, something that we believe is unlikely given the rising global demand for black gold.

Two of our favorite companies today provide services to oil and gas exploration companies.

BRNC31.02, +3.46, +12.6%) is a land driller with operations in Oklahoma, Texas, and the Rocky Mountains. The company came public in August of last year. With oil and gas prices trading at high prices, demand for land drillers has also soared. Bronco is in the enviable position of having a total fleet of 62 land rigs as of September, including 30 active rigs, with the balance inventoried or undergoing refurbishment. With the company planning to bring an additional ten drilling rigs online in both 2006 and 2007, the future for Bronco looks bright.

Growing demand for land drilling services is resulting not only in Bronco running at capacity, but also increasing day rates, or the rates the company charges clients for one day of drilling. For the nine-months ended Sept. 30, revenues increased 195% to $38.9 million, with operating income swinging from a loss of $1.8 million to a profit of $3.4 million. Consensus analyst estimates call for the company to earn 62 cents per share in 2005 on revenues of $73 million. And expectations for 2006 look equally bright, with analysts calling for EPS to increase 218% to $1.97 on revenues of $234 million.

TGC has been expanding rapidly through the launch of additional crews to perform seismic field work to exploration companies. The company grew from two crews in 2004 to four crews in fall 2005. In November 2005 and January 2006, TGC added crews number five and six, providing the company with a roughly 12% market share in the seismic data and geophysical services sector. Each crew can generate roughly $2 million in revenues, providing TGC with a revenue run rate of roughly $12 million, or an annual revenue run rate of $48 million, a healthy increase over the expected $29 million in 2005 revenues. Estimating 2006 profit margins of 17%, we believe TGC can earn 55 cents per share. With shares trading at $9, the stock trades at 16 times our 2006 EPS estimate. The best part is that TGC offers investors not only faster expected growth than competitor Dawson, but also shares that trade at a discounted valuation.

While oil and gas stocks, including both discussed within this article, have posted outstanding gains in 2005, we believe there are more gains ahead in 2006. These two oil and gas services companies provide investors with high growth opportunities at attractive valuations, and should continue to thrive in the current environment.

TGE

Feb 27, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced fourth quarter 2005 net income of $2.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on revenues of $9.9 million compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, on revenues of $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2005, TGC reported net income of $6.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, on revenues of $30.9 million compared with 2004 net income of $2.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, on revenues of $20.1 million.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries` President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report record operating results for the fourth quarter and full year. Our strong revenue growth was due primarily to the increase in the number of operating field crews to five by year end, driven by the growing needs of our customers. We also improved our crews` efficiency and capacity levels by providing them with more state-of-the-art equipment, having added two new ARAM Aries recording systems throughout the year. As a result, we showed substantial margin improvement for the fourth quarter and year. Also, our fourth quarter net income was favorably impacted by tax benefits of $0.08 per diluted share.

"In addition to our strong operating results, TGC had other notable achievements in 2005. We were listed on the American Stock Exchange, redeemed our Series C preferred stock, which eliminated unnecessary administrative expenses, and completed a stock offering in October, resulting in over $40 million in total net proceeds for the company. Finally, we converted the remaining senior preferred stock into common stock, making common stock the company`s only class of securities outstanding," concluded Mr. Whitener.

FOURTH QUARTER 2005

Fourth quarter revenues were $9.9 million, an increase of 82 percent from last year`s fourth quarter revenues of $5.5 million. The revenue increase was due primarily to the availability and use of four field crews for the entire 2005 fourth quarter, with a fifth crew operating for the last month and a half of the quarter, versus three field crews operating during the fourth quarter of 2004. Additionally, TGC experienced increased productivity derived from the use of two ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems in the entire fourth quarter of 2005, with a third system in use for half of the quarter, versus one ARAM ARIES system in use for two months of the fourth quarter a year ago.

Income from operations during the fourth quarter of 2005, which included start-up costs of the fifth crew, was $2.2 million compared to $0.6 million during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 58 percent of revenues this quarter from 74 percent of revenues for the fourth quarter last year. Income before income taxes was $2.0 million compared to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Income before income taxes as a percentage of revenues increased from 10.2 percent during the fourth quarter of 2004 to 20.6 percent during the fourth quarter of this year, despite an increase in interest expense of approximately $129,000 and the aforementioned start-up costs. The increase in interest expense in the quarter was due to the financing of two ARAM ARIES systems and other equipment.

Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for the 2005 fourth quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004. The company had income tax benefits of $0.08 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2005.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter was $3.5 million, a 35 percent margin, compared to $1.0 million, a 19 percent margin, for the fourth quarter of 2004. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

YEAR-END 2005

Revenues for 2005 increased 54 percent to $30.9 million from $20.1 million during 2004. Income from operations for 2005 was $7.3 million compared to $3.0 million in 2004 as cost of services for 2005 dropped to 59 percent of revenues from 73 percent of revenues in 2004. Income before income taxes more than doubled to $7.0 million in 2005 from $2.9 million in 2004. The company recorded income tax expense of approximately $784,000 for 2005 due to the above-mentioned fourth quarter tax benefits and the utilization of NOLs for part of 2005 compared to income tax expense of approximately $64,000 for 2004 which benefited from the use of NOLs for the entire year. Net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) for 2005 was $6.2 million compared to $2.9 million in 2004. Diluted earnings per share for 2005 doubled to $0.48 from $0.24 in 2004. EBITDA for 2005 rose by 157 percent to $10.6 million, a 34 percent margin, from $4.1 million, a 20 percent margin, in 2004.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus expenses of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess: (i) the financial performance of the Company`s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis; (ii) the Company`s liquidity and operating performance over time and in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes calculate EBITDA in a similar manner; and (iii) the ability of the Company`s assets to generate cash sufficient to the Company to pay potential interest expenses.

The Company understands that investors use EBITDA to assess the Company`s performance. However, EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). When assessing the Company`s operating performance or the Company`s liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for the Company`s net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

TGC Industries Reports Record First Quarter 2006 Results
MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2006 7:01 AM
- PR Newswire

TGE
12.85 +1.20


PLANO, Texas, April 24, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced first quarter 2006 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, on revenues of $14.8 million compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, on revenues of $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2005. Shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2005 and 2006 have been increased by five percent to reflect the Five Percent Stock Dividend declared on March 31, 2006 to shareholders of record as of April 11, 2006 and payable on April 25, 2006.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report another quarter of record operating results. Our strong revenue growth, driven by continued growing demand for our services, was due to the increase in the number of operating field crews to six for most of the first quarter and to the rising capacity utilization of those crews. We continue to add to our crews' efficiency and capacity levels by providing them with new state-of-the-art equipment. We believe we have sufficient backlog for all crews well into 2006."

FIRST QUARTER 2006

First quarter revenues increased 157 percent to $14.8 million compared to last year's first quarter revenues of $5.8 million. The revenue increase was due primarily to the availability and use of five field crews for the entire first quarter, with a sixth crew operating for two and a half months during the quarter, versus three field crews operating during the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, TGC experienced increased productivity derived from the use of three ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems during the entire first quarter of 2006, with a fourth system in use for two thirds of the quarter, versus one ARAM ARIES system in use during the first quarter a year ago.

Income from operations during the first quarter of 2006, which included start-up costs of the sixth crew, was $4.7 million compared to $1.5 million during the same period last year as cost of services declined to 53 percent of revenues this quarter from 60 percent of revenues for the first quarter of last year. Income before income taxes was $4.5 million compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. Income before income taxes as a percentage of revenue increased to 30.2 percent in the first quarter of this year from 24.9 percent during the first quarter of 2005, despite an increase in interest expense of approximately $163,000. The increase in interest expense in the quarter was due to the financing of three new ARAM ARIES systems and other equipment.

Net income for the first quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005, adjusted for the Five Percent Stock Dividend. The effective tax rate in the first quarter or 2006 was 38 percent compared to 25 percent in last year's first quarter.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter was $6.4 million, a 43 percent margin, compared to $2.0 million, a 34 percent margin, for the first quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

TGC Industries Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results
MONDAY, JULY 24, 2006 6:01 AM
- PR Newswire

PLANO, Texas, July 24, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TGC Industries, Inc. (TGE) today announced second quarter 2006 net income of $2.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, on record quarterly revenues of $14.9 million compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, on revenues of $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2005.

Wayne Whitener, TGC Industries' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We continued to generate solid performance during the second quarter. However, our results were negatively impacted by the persistent rainfall that occurred in south Texas and Kansas during the months of May and June, which affected certain crews operating in those regions. The seismic industry remains very active, and we continue to experience strong demand for our services. Our backlog of business at the end of the second quarter was approximately $65 million."

SECOND QUARTER 2006

Second quarter revenues more than doubled to $14.9 million from last year's second quarter revenues of $7.2 million. The revenue increase was due primarily to the operation of seven field crews during the second quarter of 2006 compared to three field crews during the second quarter of 2005, as well as the productivity improvement derived from the use of five ARAM ARIES seismic recording systems in the quarter versus one ARAM ARIES system in the second quarter a year ago.

Income from operations during the second quarter of 2006, which includes start-up costs of the seventh field acquisition crew, increased 62.1 percent to $3.6 million compared to $2.2 million during the same period last year. However, cost of services rose to 56.3 percent of revenues in the 2006 second quarter from 53.5 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 due to the impact of weather in south Texas and Kansas, which resulted in some loss of revenue as the productivity of crews operating in these regions was affected negatively during part of the quarter. Income before income taxes in the second quarter increased 55.8 percent to $3.4 million compared to $2.2 million in the year ago quarter. Interest expense in the second quarter rose by $166,000 due to the financing of a new ARAM ARIES system and other seismic equipment.

Net income for the second quarter was $2.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income (before dividend requirements on preferred stock) of $1.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. Earnings per share during the 2006 second quarter were impacted by an increase in the effective tax rate to 39.7 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 18.1 percent in second quarter of 2005. Last year's effective tax rate benefited from the utilization of NOLs, which were depleted during 2005. On a pro forma basis, assuming a 39.7% tax rate in the comparative period a year ago, second quarter earnings per share would have been $0.13 for 2006 and $0.10 for 2005.

EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the second quarter more than doubled to $5.8 million, a 39.0 percent margin, from $2.8 million, a 38.3 percent margin, in the second quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to reported earnings can be found in the financial tables.

YEAR-TO-DATE 2006

Revenues for the first half of 2006 increased 129.3 percent to $29.7 million from $12.9 million during the same period last year. Income from operations rose 124.2 percent to $8.3 million from $3.7 million a year ago. EBITDA increased 158.1 percent to $12.2 million during the first half of 2006 compared to $4.7 million for same period last year. Cost of services declined to 54.4 percent of revenues for the first half of 2006 from 56.4 percent of revenues in the first half of 2005.

Net income for the first six months of 2006 increased 68.5 percent to $4.8 million from net income of $2.9 million for the same period of 2005. Diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2006 were $0.31 compared to $0.22 in the same period a year ago.
