EXHIBIT - ----------- ------- 99.1 Press Release dated April 27, 2004 4 EX-99.1 2 exh99-1_12636.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED APRIL 27, 2004 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ Dawson Geophysical Reports Positive Results for Second Quarter MIDLAND, Texas, April 27, 2004/ PRNewswire/-The following was released by Dawson Geophysical Company (NASDAQ DWSN-news) Dawson Geophysical Company (NASDAQ DWSN) today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $1,999,000 ($0.36 per share) which represents the highest net income quarter since the third quarter of fiscal year 1998. The March 31, 2004 quarter is the third consecutive quarter for the Company to report positive earnings, a first since fiscal year 1998, a peak year for worldwide seismic services demand. Earnings for the six months of the current fiscal year were $2,505,000 ($0.45 per share). Revenues of $30,678,000 for the first six months of its 2004 fiscal year compared to revenues of $25,606,000 in the same period of the prior year, an increase of 19.8 percent. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company reported revenues of $15,203,000 as compared to $14,196,000 for the comparable quarter in the prior year, an increase of 7.1 percent. The Company's continued improved performance is due to increased demand for the Company's high resolution 3-D seismic surveys, favorable weather conditions in the Company's areas of operation for the quarter, and increased utilization rates with modest price gains. In addition, demand for the Company's services includes the application of high resolution techniques over previously surveyed areas and the implementation of multi-component seismic surveys. The Company's order book continues on a trend of approximately six months of operations. The stability in the order book is the result of improved market conditions, the Company's operational flexibility with the types of recording equipment utilized, and continued geographic expansion through its offices in Midland, Denver, Oklahoma City, and Houston. The Company's growing reputation throughout the industry as a quality provider of leading edge technology, technical expertise and experience in the field of geophysics creates opportunities with increases in the number of requests for quotations. Six data acquisition crews have operated continuously throughout the fiscal year with a seventh crew placed into service during the second quarter. The seven crews operate throughout the Permian Basin, South Texas, East Texas, Mid Continent, and the Rocky Mountain regions. In addition, during the last 12 months, the Company has conducted operations in the Appalachian Basin and Southeast region of the United States. The continued demand for high resolution 3-D surveys necessitates an increase in the number of recording channels. The Company now operates over 28,000 recording channels company wide, more than a 50 percent increase in the last five years, all of which are fully deployed. In response to this demand, capital expenditures increased in fiscal 2003 and are on a comparable track for fiscal 2004. Even though demand for the Company's services is related to crude oil and natural gas prices, production results are enhanced by favorable weather and timely acquisition of right-of-way permits. Founded in 1952, Dawson Geophysical Company acquires and processes 2-D, 3-D and multi-component seismic data used in analyzing subsurface geologic conditions for the potential of oil and natural gas accumulation. Dawson's clients-major and intermediate-sized oil and gas companies and independent oil operators-retain exclusive rights to the information obtained. The Company operates highly mobile, land-based acquisition crews throughout the lower 48 states. Data processing is performed by geophysicists at Dawson's computer center in the Midland, Texas headquarters. The Company also provides data processing services through the Houston, Texas office. 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 impact the Company's actual results of operations. Please see the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 for a more complete discussion of such risk factors. STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (Unaudited)
