- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 13% year-over-year (YoY) to $42.2 million and 6% sequentially from the previous quarter.
- Profitability: Net income rose 19.5% YoY to $2.6 million, driven by revenue growth and improved margins in both segments.
- Segment Performance:
- Oil & Gas Services: Revenue increased 18% YoY to $20.1 million despite a decline in U.S. rig counts and natural gas prices, attributed to service line improvements and higher international revenue.
- Boat Manufacturing: Revenue increased 10% YoY to $19.4 million due to higher average sales prices from larger models and price increases.
- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow surged to $6.7 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior year, though net cash decreased by $621,000 due to significant investing activities.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Corporate Action: Shareholders voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to change the company name to RPC, Inc.
- Forward-Looking Statement: Management notes that results for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.
- Risks: The oil and gas segment remains sensitive to drilling activity and commodity prices, though the company has diversified service lines to mitigate this.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the sustainability of the 18% revenue growth in the oil and gas segment given the reported decrease in U.S. rig counts.
- Confirm the impact of the name change to "RPC, Inc." on future branding and market perception.
- Monitor the trend in operating cash flow to ensure it remains sufficient to fund the elevated capital expenditure levels ($3.3M in Q1).
- Review the allowance for doubtful accounts ($6,446,000) relative to accounts receivable to assess credit risk.
- Assess the seasonality of the boat manufacturing segment to understand Q1 performance relative to the full year.
