Team, Inc. Lowers Fiscal Year 2010 Earnings Guidance
 
ALVIN, Texas, March 18, 2010 — Team, Inc. (NASDAQ:TISINews) announced that it is lowering its pro-forma earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010 to $0.80-$0.90 per fully diluted share. This guidance excludes the impact of previously announced non-routine charges associated with an independent investigation and associated with the recent Venezuelan currency devaluation.  The revised pro-forma earnings guidance is $0.05-$0.15 per share below the Company’s previously issued pro-forma earnings guidance and reflects a current revenue estimate of $450-$460 million for fiscal 2010, or $15-$20 million below previously disclosed revenue estimates.
 
“We had expected activity levels in the second half of the fiscal year to increase 10% over first half amounts,” said Phil Hawk, Team’s Chairman and CEO. “However, improvements in activity levels are slower to materialize than expected and nearly all our customer groups continue to face very difficult margin and demand environments. While our activity levels are ramping up nicely for the spring turnaround season, project scopes are being aggressively managed and reduced where possible by our customers. We remain convinced that current overall industry maintenance spending rates are below historical and steady-state run levels and look forward to improved market demand and Team earnings performance in FY2011,” said Hawk.
 
The Company is issuing this revised guidance in anticipation of its attendance at two investor conferences during the week of March 22, 2010. We will provide additional detail and perspective about our current guidance in the upcoming regularly scheduled third quarter earnings conference call on Wednesday, March 31, 2010.
