"The Company recorded revenues for the second quarter, fiscal 2009 of $11.82 million compared to the $13.63 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2008," said John A. Versfelt, President and CEO of Cabo Drilling Corp. "The strength of our international divisions sector continues as 39% of quarterly revenues came from the international sector as compared to 19% in fiscal 2008. The Company has seen a decrease in gross revenue from our Canadian divisions due to decreased demand for drilling and resulting lower prices, because of the economic downturn. Management expects gross revenue from the Canadian divisions to remain low until late 2009. We are also experiencing lower demand for drilling services in our Mexico division." "The Company recorded a net income of $330,288 during the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2009 or $0.01 earnings per share compared to $806,971 or $0.02 earnings per share in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2008," noted John A. Versfelt. "EBITDA decreased 22.4% to $1.44 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $1.85 million in the previous corresponding period. This is a direct result of a decrease in gross revenue from our Canadian divisions caused by decreased demand for drilling and resulting lower prices brought about by the economic downturn."
