Forward-looking Statements
This
presentation
contains
various
forward-looking
statements
and
information
that
are
based
on
managements
current
expectations
and
assumptions
about
future
events.
Forward-looking
statements
are
generally
accompanied
by
words
such
as
estimate,
project,
predict,
expect,
anticipate,
plan,
intend,
seek,
will,
should,
goal,
and
other
words
that
convey
the
uncertainty
of
future
events
and
outcomes.
Forward-looking
information
includes,
among
other
matters,
statements
regarding
the
Companys
anticipated
growth,
quality
of
assets,
rig
utilization
rate,
capital
spending
by
oil
and
gas
companies,
production
rates,
the
Company's
growth
strategy,
and
the
Company's
international
operations.
Although
the
Company
believes
that
the
expectations
and
assumptions
reflected
in
such
forward-looking
statements
are
reasonable,
it
can
give
no
assurance
that
such
expectations
and
assumptions
will
prove
to
have
been
correct.
Such
statements
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions,
including,
among
others:
general
and
regional
economic
conditions
and
industry
trends;
the
continued
strength
of
the
contract
land
drilling
industry
in
the
geographic
areas
where
the
Company
operates;
decisions
about
onshore
exploration
and
development
projects
to
be
made
by
oil
and
gas
companies;
the
highly
competitive
nature
of
the
contract
land
drilling
business;
the
Companys
future
financial
performance,
including
availability,
terms
and
deployment
of
capital;
the
continued
availability
of
qualified
personnel;
changes
in
governmental
regulations,
including
those
relating
to
the
environment;
the
political,
economic
and
other
uncertainties
encountered
in
the
Company's
international
operations
and
other
risks,
contingencies
and
uncertainties,
most
of
which
are
difficult
to
predict
and
many
of
which
are
beyond
our
control.
Should
one
or
more
of
these
risks,
contingencies
or
uncertainties
materialize,
or
should
underlying
assumptions
prove
incorrect,
actual
results
may
vary
materially
from
those
expected. 
Many
of
these
factors
have
been
discussed
in
more
detail
in
the
Company's
annual
reports
on
Form
10-K
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
December
31,
2008
and
December
31,
2009
and
quarterly
reports
on
Form
10Q
for
the
quarters
ended
March
31,
2009,
June
30,
2009
and
September
30,
2009. 
Unpredictable
or
unknown
factors
that
the
Company
has
not
discussed
in
this
presentation
or
in
its
filings
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
could
also
have
material
adverse
effects
on
actual
results
of
matters
that
are
the
subject
of
the
forward-looking
statements.
All
forward-looking
statements
speak
only
as
the
date
on
which
they
are
made
and
the
Company
undertakes
no
duty
to
update
or
revise
any
forward-looking
statements.
We
advise
our
shareholders
to
use
caution
and
common
sense
when
considering
our
forward
looking
statements.

Benefits of Growing Shale Plays

18
Service firms stand to benefit from shale production due to its lower risk
development and increased service intensity (up to 3 -
5x conventional)
Reintroduction of the Majors should provide increased capital discipline in
the U.S. market, resulting in greater stability and shallower cycles

Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income
We define EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes,
depreciation, amortization and impairments. Although not prescribed under GAAP, we
believe the presentation of EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps our investors
understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with
those of other companies that have different financing, capital or tax structures. EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net earnings (loss) as an
indication
of
operating
performance
or
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
or
as
a
measure
of liquidity. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA is included in the table below.
EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to EBITDA measures reported by
other companies. In addition, EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary
use.
