Rowan Reports Third Quarter 2009 Operating Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the three months ended September 30, 2009, Rowan Companies, Inc. ("Rowan" or the "Company") generated net income of $78.4 million or $0.69 per share, compared to $114.1 million or $1.00 per share in the third quarter of 2008 and $96.6 million or $0.85 per share in the second quarter of 2009. Excluding the tax benefit described in the following paragraph, earnings in the third quarter of 2009 were $61.4 million or $0.54 per share. Revenues were $393.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $527.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 and $482.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081031/DA43093LOGO)

Results for the third quarter of 2009 included a $17.0 million or $0.15 per share net tax benefit related to a recent third-party tax court ruling, which provided that certain foreign-source income is not taxable in the United States. This is in addition to the $8.0 million or $0.07 per share tax benefit recorded during the second quarter related to the same issue. Results for the third quarter of 2008 included gains on asset disposals of $21.4 million or $0.12 per share. There were no significant asset disposals in the second or third quarters of 2009.

Rowan's drilling operations generated revenues of $258.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, down by 28% from the prior-year quarter and by 19% from the second quarter of 2009 due primarily to lower rig utilization. The Company's gross drilling margin was 53% of revenues in the third quarter of 2009, down from 54% in the prior-year quarter and 57% in the second quarter of 2009. Income from drilling operations was $81.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, down by 51% from the prior-year quarter and by 37% from the second quarter of 2009.

Rowan's manufacturing operations generated external revenues of $135.0 million in the third quarter of 2009, down by 21% from the prior-year quarter and by 16% from the second quarter of 2009. The Company's gross manufacturing margin was 13% of revenues in the third quarter of 2009, up from 12% in the prior-year quarter and 9% in the second quarter of 2009. Income from manufacturing operations was $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2009, up by 13% from the prior-year quarter and by 122% from the second quarter of 2009.

Matt Ralls, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results, both in drilling and manufacturing, benefitted from our contract backlog and great execution by our employees. While excess rig supply has, and will likely continue to, put pressure on day rates, we believe global demand for jack-ups and land rigs bottomed during the third quarter. Many drilling tenders remain highly competitive, but we are seeing a notable increase in demanding drilling projects for which our higher specification equipment and capable workforce provide a competitive advantage. We are encouraged by the increased contracting activity in the North America land and jack-up drilling markets, and optimistic regarding the multiple inquiries for our Super Gorilla Class rigs, especially in the North Sea. In our manufacturing operations, a recent improvement in demand for our innovative mining equipment has been a positive development on top of our success in adding three new rig kit packages earlier this year."

Rowan will conduct its earnings conference call on Tuesday, November 3, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. Interested parties are invited to listen to the call by telephone or over the Internet.

Superior Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results- Net income of $880,000 vs. $5.7 million loss in the second quarter 2009. - Deposits were up approximately 12% during 2009 to $2.6 billion. - Loans increased 5% during 2009 to $2.4 billion. - Net interest margin improved to 3.36%, up 15 basis points from the second quarter 2009. - Total Risk Based Capital increased to 11.27% from 11.07% in the second quarter.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Superior Bancorp today reported its third quarter 2009 results. A summary of the results is provided below and in the attached financial data.

As of and for the Quarters Ended -------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands, except September 30, September 30, per share data 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $3,226,570 $3,103,677 Total loans, net of unearned income 2,434,534 2,219,041 Total deposits 2,619,961 2,225,529 Stockholders' equity 244,730 341,873 Net interest income 23,913 21,626 Net income (loss) 880 (6,508) Net loss available to common stockholders (287) (6,508) Net loss per common share (0.03) (0.65) Total branches 72 76 Earnings Performance

"We are pleased to report profitable operations for our third quarter, 2009, especially in this very difficult economy," Chairman and CEO Stan Bailey commented. "The quarter's results inc significant progress on several fronts, even as we continue to address certain credit challenges reflective of the current economic recession."

"Our interest margin rose to 3.36%, reflecting our continued progress in repricing both our loan portfolio and our deposits. All fee income categories rose except for mortgage banking, our expenses declined significantly as part of our previously announced efficiency program, our credit costs remained reasonable compared to average industry results, our regulatory capital ratio increased and we absorbed the cost of the market value risk in our investment portfolio while reporting a profitable quarter. Looking back on our third quarter, we made considerable progress," Bailey concluded.

Comparison of Third Quarter 2009 with Second Quarter 2009

Net interest income increased significantly, rising from $22.7 million to $23.9 million. As noted above, the margin rose to 3.36% from 3.21%, with both being constrained to similar degrees by the effects of loans that were placed on non-accrual - approximating 0.15% in both quarters. A significant portion of the increase in net interest income was associated with margin improvement as our average deposit pricing declined approximately 0.16%. Our loan portfolio increased 1.5% from the second quarter to the third, offset by a similar decline in loans held for sale, as the mortgage pipeline was reduced due to lower production activity.

The third quarter included a gain from securities sales of $5.6 million due to repositioning of a portion of the securities portfolio. Also included in this quarter's results were write downs associated with trust preferred securities and certain private-label mortgage-backed securities in our portfolio totaling $3.5 million for other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI), and a provision for loan losses and OREO expenses totaling $6.5 million.

Total noninterest income, excluding both the securities transactions and the OTTI loss, declined approximately $0.3 million from the second quarter, due exclusively to lower mortgage activity, as all other income categories rose.

Total noninterest expense declined $2.2 million, approximately half of which was due to the FDIC special assessment in the second quarter, and the balance being attributable to a concerted effort to reduce expenses at Superior, including the closure of 5 branches during the quarter. These expense reduction measures should continue to be beneficial in future quarters.

Credit Quality

Loans 30-89 days past due (DPD) and still accruing was 1.64% of total loans at quarter end compared to 1.50% on June 30, 2009. Non-performing loans, including loans 90 DPD and still accruing, increased to $153 million or 6.3 % of total loans in the quarter compared to 4.91 % of total loans at June 30, 2009. Of the non-performing loans, 31% is in Alabama, 63% in Florida and 6% elsewhere. Our other real estate owned portfolio of $42 million consists of 62% in Alabama and 38% in Florida.

Net charge offs for the quarter were $4.3 million, or an annualized rate of 0.72% of total loans.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter was $5.2 million compared to a provision of $6.0 million in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses stands at $34.3 million, 1.41% of loans, up from $33.5 million at the prior quarter's end.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity

An investment securities repositioning program implemented during the third quarter allowed us to reinvest in lower "risk based" assets, freeing up some $12 million in regulatory capital. As the result of this strategy and improved operating earnings during the quarter, our total risk based capital ratio increased to 11.27% for the quarter. We continue to focus on maintaining our capital ratios at appropriately high levels given the current conditions in the economy.

Additionally, as discussed below, we recorded OTTI charges in this and previous quarters that reduced the market risk and book value of the trust preferred securities in our portfolio from approximately $24 million at December 31, 2008 to approximately $14 million at September 30, 2009. While reducing the carrying value of these assets had a significant impact on earnings, it is clear that their fair value is significantly diminished in the current environment, and that reduction was appropriate under these conditions.

Superior Bank's liquidity continues to be strong, and our reliance on brokered deposits and borrowings remains at a low level. Deposits at our 22 de novo branches opened since 2006 rose to $430 million, a new record level, and represent a steady source of core funding that enables us to continue to grow Superior with relationship-based funding.

Regulatory Reform

Besides the economy, the greatest risk of uncertainty for the banking industry continues to be the regulatory reform initiatives being undertaken by the U. S. Congress and our numerous regulatory agencies. While fully recognizing that the activities of the mostly investment banking and non-bank financial institutions became major catalysts for our current economic challenges, Congress is proposing an over-reactive, sweeping "broad brush" solution resulting in the Government's intent to increase regulations, oversight and involvement in the daily business activities best left to experienced bank management teams and their boards of directors. It will result in additional burdensome disclosures and red tape for our customers and additional cost to our shareholders. For the vast majority of well-run community banks, it is totally unnecessary.

In consultation with our external auditors and with the approval of our Audit Committee, we intend to restate our previously reported results for the first and second quarters of 2009 to increase our charges for previously recorded OTTI within the trust preferred securities. We intend to file our amended Forms 10-Q/A on or about November 9, 2009. During the first and second quarters of 2009, our rated trust preferred securities portfolio experienced significant rating downgrades. After further review and in consultation with an external valuation firm, it was determined that the credit spreads used in our initial valuations did not reflect then- current market rates for these types of instruments. Considering the continued credit deterioration, related disruption of the market for these instruments and the complexity of the instrument structures, we revised the interest rate and default assumptions used in determining fair value and determined the need to recognize additional OTTI adjustments.

In addition, we determined that a $5 million trust preferred security of a privately held company with respect to which contemporaneous financial information was difficult to obtain, was fully impaired during the first quarter 2009. Accordingly, we revised our OTTI credit charge to recognize a loss on the full amount of the security. The impact on net income from the restatements was ($2.9 million), or ($0.29) per common share for the first quarter, and ($1.9 million), or ($0.19) per common share for the second quarter. Additional detail on the effect of the restatements on the March 31 and June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements and earnings per share is included in the attached schedules.

ICE Clear Europe Marks One Year Anniversary; New Contracts, Real-Time Risk Management, CDS Clearing Contribute to 'Best Innovation' Designation

LONDON, November 3 /PRNewswire/ --

IntercontinentalExchange (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global futures exchanges, clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets, today marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of ICE Clear Europe. Based in London, ICE Clear Europe launched on November 3, 2008, amid crisis in financial markets worldwide and during a period of significant demand for additional central clearing services.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090727/CL51999LOGO )

ICE Clear Europe ensures the integrity of trades in ICE's futures and over-the-counter (OTC) markets for energy and credit derivatives by eliminating counterparty and credit risk among market participants. Through leading edge technology, risk management systems and extensive default protections, ICE Clear Europe supports the needs of its clearing members and global market participants. The clearing house introduced cleared credit derivatives in July of 2009, demonstrating its flexibility to offer clearing services for an expanded range of asset classes.

"The successful launch of ICE Clear Europe just six weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers illustrates the demand for, and benefits of, centralized clearing services in an expanded range of products and markets," said Paul Swann, President of ICE Clear Europe. "We are grateful to our members for their continued support, and we look forward to working with participants as we continue to expand our services to meet the dynamic requirements of our customers."

"The growth of ICE's global energy OTC and futures markets following the launch of ICE Clear Europe has exceeded our expectations, particularly considering the challenges brought about by a highly volatile and uncertain financial market environment," said Jeffrey C. Sprecher, ICE Chairman and CEO. "Our vision for investing in central clearing has not only supported growth in our business, but also significant risk management enhancements to mitigate systemic risk."

ICE Clear Europe Year One Achievements Key Statistics - Successfully transferred 28.5 million contracts sides to ICE Clear Europe on 3 November 2008, together with associated margin of approximately US$16.5 billion. ICE Clear Europe launched with 44 member firms. - Guaranty fund of US$650 million for energy clearing with additional powers of assessment resulting in total default protections of nearly US$2 billion; and a separate guaranty fund of over US$500 million for credit default swaps (CDS) clearing. - ICE Clear Europe offers clearing services for over 240 contracts and clears contracts with a notional value of approximately US$40 billion on a daily basis. - Recognized for "Best Innovation by a Clearing House, Europe, Middle East and Africa" by FOW, a leading global derivatives publication. Increased Product Range - Since the launch of ICE Clear Europe, ICE has introduced 150 cleared OTC and exchange-traded energy contracts resulting in enhanced risk management tools for market participants. Industry Leading Risk Management Regime - In July 2009, ICE Clear Europe introduced an intraday risk management methodology based on real-time price and trade feeds from ICE's energy markets. The methodology provides calculations of initial margin, realized and unrealized variation margin, and fully revalues all positions throughout the day. This methodology also provides the clearing house and all clearing members with trade, position, profit and loss and margin reports every five minutes, thereby substantially reducing intraday price risk. Operational Process Improvements - ICE Clear Europe has provided clearing members with a range of operational benefits, including the ability to directly administer misallocated trades and position transfers and electronic cash and collateral management systems; - Other operational enhancements include support for daily emissions futures contracts and the administration of record deliveries in all physically-delivered ICE Futures Europe contracts. Clearing for OTC Credit Derivatives - On 27 July, ICE Clear Europe launched a separate clearing solution for the European CDS market. As of 31 October, ICE Clear Europe's CDS clearing house had 11 clearing members and cleared euro 631 billion in notional value across 11,886 European index transactions, resulting in open interest of euro 67.5 billion.

FXI and Atmel Create World's First microSD Gaming-Console for Mobile PhonesSiliconCity(R) Flexible Architecture offers easy migration from CAP(R) to a custom ARM-based SoC

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atmel® Corporation today announced that the world's first cross-platform mobile phone gaming consoles will be implemented in microSD cards, based on a system-on-chip (SoC) developed by FXI Technologies AS using Atmel's 90nm SiliconCity Flexible Architecture.

When embedded in a microSD card, the FXI die can turn slot-enabled, hand-held devices into high-end "console gaming" platforms. The FXI SoC integrates a 3-D graphics accelerator, interface logic and ARM9(TM) processor that can be seamlessly coupled to the manufacturer's traditional flash memory. Video games played on an FXI-enabled microSD Card allow card vendors and others to offer an extremely compelling gaming experience. MicroSD card-based gaming consoles will be marketed by SD card vendors and gaming content providers, among others, and can be used in virtually any device with a microSD slot, irrespective of its manufacturer or the native application processor.

According to Tom Hackenberg, Senior Analyst at IMS Research, "Annual shipments of mobile handsets that will include MicroSD card slots are expected to reach over 500 million units by mid 2010. Add to this display enhancements, storage increases, video compression and the proliferation of mobile applications and you have a recipe for disruptive technologies, as MicroSD does for handsets, what CDs did for computers."

Isaac van Kempen, FXI's CEO said, "Traditionally, cell phone games have been limited to downloading games that use the same processor engine already in the device. MicroSD cards with FXI's die will include everything - the graphics accelerator, interface logic and high end ARM9 processor within the same microSD that stores gaming and other applications. It will vastly upgrade cell phone performance, while providing consumers a console-class gaming experience."

"Atmel's SiliconCity Flexible Architecture has allowed us to build and package this functionality in a SoC with superior cost, power and performance advantages, but without the expense and long lead-times of a traditional custom ASIC. In addition, since Atmel's SiliconCity Flexible Architecture uses a standardized CAP9 design flow, the CAP9 development kits can be used as a game development platform. In fact, we are distributing the CAP9 board to game publishers and developers, so they can develop their software months before we have the microSD card silicon," van Kempen added.

"Atmel's customizable CAP9 platform and kits for software development and IP creation combined with the Atmel's proven ARM-based IP and Flexible Architecture allows us to create a custom product for a new market segment in half the time," commented Isaac van Kempen, CEO of FXI. "If we had started from scratch without the CAP9 platform, we would be looking at a year-plus development cycle. As a start-up in fund-raising mode, the cost-savings to alternative paths has also provided FXI with key advantages," concluded van Kempen. Atmel's 90 nm SiliconCity Flexible Architecture is an extension of Atmel's CAP customizable MCU products. Based on Atmel's Metal-Programmable Cell Fabric (MPCF), Flexible Architecture provides up to 350K gates/mm2, comparable to the gate densities traditional standard cell ASICs, without the high NREs and lead times. The design flow is identical to that of a CAP device, with the exception that the OEM defines the processor and on-chip bus subsystems, memories and peripherals. In the case of CAP customizable MCUs, Atmel defines the platform, leaving a metal programmable block for customization.

Jay Johnson, Atmel's Director of CAP marketing said, "The Silicon City Flexible Architecture gives OEMs like FXI the freedom to create their own unique base wafer architecture for multiple product variations while generously reducing customer design time, lowering the NRE and reducing risk through design reuse. Creating a traditional ASIC for these FXI products is too costly and time consuming. Unlike an ASIC, game developers for the FXI cards will have a development platform that will be good across all cell phones with microSD slots, without having to wait months for silicon."

MPCF offers a smaller core cell with better routing. The key to the MPCF technology is a 6- transistor core cell that is less than 3.2 square microns. In the 90 nm process, a SiliconCity Flexible Architecture ASIC yields between 300,000 and 350,000 gates per square millimeter. A novel routing scheme provides two layers of metal for interconnect, increasing gate utilization up to 90%. The combination of the higher gate density and better routability of MPCF-based SoC results in die sizes that are about half those of previous 130 nm generations.

Routing & Transistor Geometry Alignment. With MPCF, the cell size is matched perfectly to the integer multiple of the routing grid and transistor pitch, which results in no wasted silicon. In addition, contacts and vias are also the same size as metal trace, which eliminates any potential overlap and provides the most effective vertical use of silicon in the design. These aspects of MPCF make targeting the exact gate size required for the design much easier and more cost effective than the typical sea-of-gates architecture common with gate arrays and some early structured ASIC products.

In addition, MPCF metal-programmable cells and standard cells can be placed in separate regions on the die or freely mixed without any die size penalty. Therefore the fixed platform part of the design can be implemented in standard cell technology, while the flexible portion of the die with MPCF for quick derivative spins.

Easy Migration from Existing Processor-plus-FPGA Designs. Many existing designs based on an industry standard microcontroller and an FPGA may be directly migrated to a SiliconCity Flexible ASIC in as little as 20 weeks from final gate-level netlist with minimal re-engineering and low initial NRE mask charges. Future iterations of designs can be implemented in just 8-12 weeks with even lower single metal mask NRE charges.

Using the CAP9, Atmel's ARM-based customizable microcontroller, FXI will perform hardware validation and simultaneous software development, so that game publishers can create compelling content in parallel with FXI's chip development while providing a seamless migration to the final product.

"CAP to ASIC migration is the key to creating custom developments for faster time to market," said Jay Johnson, Marketing Director for Atmel's NA ASIC Business. "That's the real value of SiliconCity Flexible Architecture: helping customers create innovative market solutions faster and more cost effectively. FXI's end product will have a disruptive affect on the way consumers' view handheld gaming."

The architecture relies on the breadth of Atmel's standard microcontroller solutions to create SoCs including the reusability and proven IP that Atmel offers through its AVR® and AT91SAM standard products. It also offers a migration path from industry standard microcontrollers to CAP and ASIC designs.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Highlights Taribavirin Phase IIb End of Study Data Presentation at American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) Annual Meeting

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals today announced that results from the week-72 analysis for its Phase IIb dose-finding clinical trial for taribavirin, a prodrug of ribavirin which is in development for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in conjunction with a pegylated interferon, were presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) 60th Annual Meeting in Boston. It is believed that taribavirin (TBV) may present an alternative therapy to ribavirin (RBV) for the treatment of hepatitis C by delivering similar efficacy to ribavirin but with significantly less anemia, which is the main treatment-limiting toxicity associated with ribavirin.

The results were presented in an abstract entitled "Sustained Virologic Response Results for Weight-Based Taribavirin Versus Weight-Based Ribavirin, in Naïve Chronic Hepatitis C, Genotype 1 Patients", with an oral presentation given by Fred Poordad, M.D., Chief of Hepatology at the Center for Liver Disease and Transplant, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA and principal investigator in this study.

"The final results of this Phase IIb study are promising, and imply that comparable efficacy can be achieved when compared to ribavirin," said Dr. Poordad. "As is known for ribavirin, low doses are associated with a high relapse rate and, except for the lowest dose with taribavirin, relapse rates are also comparable to ribavirin. The safety of this ribavirin analog is of particular relevance in that its use is associated with significantly less anemia in an evolving era of small molecule therapies, where anemia appears to be more problematic."

The company has previously reported results from this Phase IIb trial exploring weight- based dosing of taribavirin at 20, 25 and 30mg/kg vs. weight-base dosed ribavirin 800-1400mg. The study consisted of 48 weeks of treatment with a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Consistent with previous reports, the viral response data continued to show comparable reductions in viral load for weight-based doses of taribavirin and ribavirin in a difficult-to-treat population of subjects infected with hepatitis C genotype 1 and end-of-study sustained virologic response rates were again comparable across the treatment groups. Relapse rates were identical for taribavirin 25mg/kg and weight-based doses of ribavirin. Importantly, the statistically significantly lower anemia rate for patients receiving taribavirin in the 20mg/kg and 25mg/kg arms versus the ribavirin control arm has been maintained at a rate similar to the end-of- treatment (week 48) throughout.

Table: Efficacy/Safety (intent-to-treat) Phase IIb --------- TBV TBV TBV RBV 20 mg/kg 25 mg/kg 30 mg/kg 800-1400mg n=67 n=70 n=68 n=70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW4 Undetectable(1) 11 (16.4%) 10 (14.3%) 11 (16.2%) 8 (11.4%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW12 Undetectable(1) 28 (41.8%) 29 (41.4%) 17 (25.0%) 22 (31.4%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW48 Undetectable(1) 30 (44.8%) 27 (38.6%) 23 (33.8%) 26 (37.1%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SVR Undetectable(1) 19 (28.4%) 19 (27.1%) 19 (27.9%) 19 (27.1%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relapse Rate 10 (34.5%) 5 (20.8%) 3 (13.6%) 5 (20.8%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anemia 48 weeks(2) 9 (13.4%)* 11 (15.7%)* 19 (27.9%) 23 (32.9%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) HCV RNA < 39 IU/mL (2) Anemia: hemoglobin < 10g/dL *P<0.05 vs. RBV

The most common adverse events during treatment were fatigue, nausea, flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, and insomnia. The incidence rates for these adverse events among treatment arms were generally comparable except with respect to diarrhea, where incidence of diarrhea was approximately twice as common in patients receiving taribavirin compared to patients receiving ribavirin. However, the diarrhea was generally mild and not treatment limiting for taribavirin or ribavirin patients.

The Phase IIb trial was a U.S. multi-center, randomized, parallel, open-label study in 278 treatment-naive, genotype 1 patients evaluating taribavirin at weight-based doses of 20 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, and 30 mg/kg per day in combination with pegylated interferon alfa-2b. The control group was administered weight-based dose ribavirin (800/1000/1200/1400mg daily) and pegylated interferon alfa-2b. Overall treatment duration was 48 weeks with a post-treatment follow-up period of 24 weeks.

Parker Drilling Reports 2009 Third Quarter Earnings of $0.06 Per Share; Adjusted EPS of $0.04, Excluding Non-Routine Items

HOUSTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Parker Drilling , a global drilling contractor and service provider, today reported results for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009, including net income of $7.1 million or $0.06 per diluted share on revenues of $181.4 million, compared to net income of $17.8 million or $0.16 per diluted share on revenues of $227.5 million for the prior year's third quarter. Excluding the effect of non-routine items, the Company reported 2009 third quarter net income of $4.4 million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to similarly adjusted 2008 third quarter net income of $21.6 million or $0.19 per diluted share.

"The results of this past quarter reflect the harsh conditions that prevailed in many of our markets as well as the durability and resilience of the Company's strategy, business balance and geographic diversity," said executive chairman Robert L. Parker Jr. "Through cost management actions we were able to moderate the adverse effects on our operations' results while employing our business strategy to advance our competitive position and strengthen our business."

Third Quarter Highlights: -- Revenues of $181.4 million were 20 percent below the prior year's third quarter revenues of $227.5 million. Increased revenues related to project management and construction contracts partially offset declines in worldwide drilling and tool rental revenues; -- Gross margin as a percent of revenues increased for International Drilling and Project Management and Engineering Services, compared with the prior year's third quarter. These improvements partially offset lower gross margin profitability from Parker's U.S. Barge Drilling and Rental Tools operations; -- The U.S. Barge Drilling segment recorded a positive gross margin for the third quarter, and improved its year-to-date gross margin to better-than-breakeven. This is a notable achievement in the industry, which has experienced a severe downturn in activity and declining dayrates; -- Parker successfully completed the sealift of the BP-owned "Liberty" rig to its operating site off Alaska's North Slope and has initiated rig-up and commissioning activities. During the quarter Parker was awarded the operations and maintenance contract for the rig's initial drilling program; -- The construction of the two Parker-owned arctic land rigs continues on schedule for a 2010 deployment to the North Slope to begin drilling on five-year contracts for BP; -- The Company achieved a better-than-industry average safety performance. Parker's September year-to-date Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.55 surpassed the Company's 2008 industry-leading TRIR of 0.66.

"Our recent results reflect the severe industry downturn of the past several quarters," said Mr. Parker. "The International Drilling, U.S. Gulf of Mexico Barge Drilling and Rental Tools segments experienced significant declines in revenues, compared to the prior year's third quarter. This was caused by lower utilization for the international rig fleet, lower utilization and lower dayrates for the barge drilling operation, and price discounts for rental tools. Meanwhile, Project Management & Engineering Services revenues grew due to the long-term nature of our customers' plans and programs; and Construction Contract revenues increased in line with progress on the Liberty rig. Each of these two operations achieved an increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percent of revenues.

"Despite these difficult and challenging market conditions, our operations overall were profitable, including the contribution from our barge drilling business which recorded a 19 percent gross margin as a percent of revenues this past quarter and has achieved a positive gross margin year-to-date.

"Business activity may have neared the bottom in the third quarter and there are tentative signs that improvement is underway," continued Mr. Parker. "Our U.S. Gulf of Mexico barge rig utilization rate increased sequentially in each of the last two quarters, rental tool placements have risen, the number of tenders for international drilling contracts has grown and project management opportunities have expanded. There are still areas of concern - dayrates remain under pressure, tool rental rates are heavily discounted, and contract commitments are slow to develop. Overall, though, the outlook is slowly improving. I believe these are times of opportunity, when Parker Drilling can make competitive and strategic gains based on the strength of our operations and business relationships," he concluded.

Financial Review

For the three months ended Sept. 30, 2009, Parker Drilling posted net income of $7.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, on revenues of $181.4 million, compared to net income of $17.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, on revenues of $227.5 million for the 2008 third quarter. Excluding the impact of non-routine items, adjusted net income for the 2009 third quarter was $4.4 million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with 2008 third quarter adjusted net income of $21.6 million or $0.19 per diluted share. (The results for 2008 have been restated for the impact of the recently issued guidance related to accounting for convertible debt instruments). The results for the 2009 third quarter included non-routine net after-tax income of $2.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This includes expenses related to previously disclosed investigations by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the Company's utilization of the services of a customs agent in certain countries and an internal investigation regarding U.S. economic sanctions related to the Company's operations in Turkmenistan and the write-off of a prepayment to an equipment supplier who went bankrupt. This was more than offset by income from the recovery of previously unutilized foreign tax credits. The results for the 2008 third quarter included non-routine net after-tax expense of $3.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for non-routine items. (Details of the non-routine items are provided in the attached financial tables.)

U.S. Barge Drilling revenues for the 2009 third quarter declined 72 percent, to $12.4 million from $44.7 million for the 2008 third quarter, due to lower utilization and reduced dayrates for the Gulf of Mexico barge drilling fleet. International Drilling revenues fell 31 percent, to $64.0 million from $92.2 million, the result of lower average fleet utilization. Rental Tools revenues decreased 48 percent, to $23.9 million from $46.0 million, primarily from the decline in U.S. land and Gulf of Mexico shelf drilling activity and the impact of increased discounts. The declines were partially offset by increased demand for workover equipment, growing coverage in the active shale regions and additional offshore deep drilling accounts. Revenues for Project Management and Engineering Services increased 7 percent, to $25.9 million from $24.1 million, reflecting the contribution from a FEED (Front End Engineering & Design) study for a drilling package on the Arkutun-Dagi platform offshore Sakhalin Island, Russia and pre-operational revenues related to the BP-owned Liberty rig. Construction Contract segment revenues of $55.3 million, represents the Company's progress on delivering, rigging-up and commissioning the Liberty rig.

Adjusted EBITDA, after non-routine items, for the 2009 third quarter was $38.1 million compared to $76.0 million in the 2008 third quarter. (Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The calculations of adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided in the attached financial tables).

International Drilling's gross margin decreased 23 percent to $22.0 million from the prior year's third quarter gross margin of $28.5 million. Gross margin as a percent of revenues was 34.4 percent in the 2009 third quarter compared to 31.0 percent in the prior year's third quarter. The increase in gross margin percent was primarily the result of lower operating costs throughout the segment.

Project Management and Engineering Services' gross margin for the 2009 third quarter increased significantly to $6.4 million from $2.6 million for the prior year's third quarter. Gross margin as a percent of revenues was 24.9 percent for the 2009 third quarter compared to 11.0 percent in the prior year's third quarter. Much of this improvement was due to the contribution from the Arkutun-Dagi platform and Liberty rig projects and a lower level of reimbursables in the current quarter.

U.S. Barge Drilling reported a gross margin of $2.3 million for the 2009 third quarter, the result of cost management actions and fleet deployment initiatives put in place to counter the low level of activity in the market. The third quarter performance is in line with the Company's objective to enhance its position as the leading and preferred contractor in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico barge drilling market and achieve a better-than-breakeven cash flow for this segment this year.

The decline in gross margin for Rental Tools, to $11.7 million for the 2009 third quarter from $27.8 million for the prior year's third quarter, reflected a decline in overall demand due to reduced drilling activity in the U.S. land market and Gulf of Mexico shelf. This led to competitive discounting of rental rates that has impacted the segment's gross margin and gross margin as a percent of revenues.

For the first nine months of 2009, Parker reported a 7 percent decline in revenues, to $577.1 million from $617.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-routine items, declined 37 percent, to $132.3 million from $210.0 million for the comparable period. Earnings per diluted share, excluding non-routine items, was $0.15, down from $0.56 for the same period of 2008.

Operations Review -- Average utilization of international rigs, both land and barge rigs, for the 2009 third quarter was 61 percent, compared to 84 percent for the prior year's third quarter and 68 percent for the 2009 second quarter. (Average utilization for each international region's rig fleet by quarter is available in the "Rig Utilization Schedule" posted on Parker's website under "Investor Relations" at "Quarterly Support Materials".) -- The Company's Americas region operated at 75 percent average utilization, with eight of ten rigs having worked during the period, including one rig that began work in September on a multi-well contract. Seven of the ten rigs in this region have commitments to work into 2010. -- Parker's twelve rigs located in the Commonwealth of Independent States / Africa Middle East (CIS / AME) region achieved average utilization of 69 percent, with nine rigs having worked during the period. Seven of the twelve rigs in the CIS / AME region are operating under contracts that extend beyond 2009. -- The eight-rig Parker fleet located in the Asia Pacific region operated at 40 percent average utilization, with four of the eight rigs having worked during the period. One rig began work in August under a new term contract. While most contracts in this region are for short duration projects, three rigs are committed to programs that extend into 2010. -- Average utilization for the Company's Gulf of Mexico barge rigs for the 2009 third quarter was 33 percent, compared to 79 percent for the prior year's third quarter and 30 percent for the 2009 second quarter. Currently, barge rig utilization is 60 percent. The Company's barge dayrates in the Gulf of Mexico averaged $26,200 during the 2009 third quarter, compared to $39,900 per day in the 2008 third quarter and $29,800 per day in the 2009 second quarter. (Average dayrates for each classification of barge by quarter are available in the "Dayrates - GOM" schedule posted on Parker's website under "Investor Relations" at "Quarterly Support Materials".) -- Rental tool revenues slowed in all the established regions, partially offset by business from our new operation in Pennsylvania, serving the Marcellus shale play. The greatest declines occurred in the regions serving primarily conventional oil or gas drilling operators while the downturn was less severe in the regions with major gas or oil shale plays, such as the Haynesville, Barnett, Fayetteville and Bakken shale areas. -- In Project Management and Engineering Services, rig-up and commissioning of the BP-owned Liberty rig in Alaska was underway following the rig's successful delivery to the satellite drilling island off the North Slope of Alaska. In addition, we continued work on the FEED study for the Arkutun-Dagi platform's drilling package.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2009 totaled $32.9 million, including $9.1 million for the construction of Parker's two newbuild arctic land rigs for Alaska, and $5.4 million for tubular goods and other rental equipment.

At the end of the period total debt was $425.7 million and the Company's total debt-to-capitalization ratio was 41.5 percent. Adjusted for the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance of $94.4 million, Parker's ratio of net-debt-to-net capitalization was 35.6 percent, compared to 31.6 percent at the end of 2008. The Company's $50 million term loan began to amortize on Sept. 30, 2009 at $3.0 million per quarter. The remaining components of the Company's debt do not mature until 2012 and 2013.

In addition to medicines, we will also supply nutraceutical products from our portfolio through the rural supply network to drive incremental revenues. With the government's support to improve healthcare systems for rural areas, in addition to the increase in disposable income and health awareness of rural population, the sales of our products through this channel is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years," said Mr. Wang Ronghua, Chairman and CEO of Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

-- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were at $18.8 million up from $9.6 million one year ago; -- Inventory of $23.7 million was down approximately 7.0 percent from $25.5 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009; and -- Net shareholders' equity rose to $48.2 million from $47.2 million in the comparable period last year. Management Comments

"As today's results indicate, our performance thus far in fiscal 2010 has exceeded our most optimistic expectations," said Greg Tunney, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Early sell-through at retail has been very healthy, and we have not seen the order delays and cancellations so common to many retail sectors at this time of the year. Our model continues performing well despite the challenging retail landscape and uneven macro-economic environment.

"Looking forward, we are excited about the upcoming holiday season and our anticipated performance for fiscal 2010. We are working closely with retailers to manage in-store inventory to ensure they have the appropriate mix of products to maximize their holiday sell-through over the next eight weeks. As the most productive period of our fiscal year, retail performance during the Christmas season remains critical to the Company's annual success," he said.

Jose Ibarra, Senior Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our strong first quarter profitability reflects our recovery from the contraction in the gross profit percentage that we experienced last year. The contraction resulted from higher product costs driven by increased oil prices and a lack of supplier capacity in China during our fiscal 2009 buying cycle. The reversal of these inflationary trends together with our continuing focus on cost management in our operating model, should allow us to operate at an annual gross profit rate of around 40 percent through this fiscal year and for the foreseeable future. Since the profitability of our year is primarily dependent on how well our products sell-through at retail during the Christmas selling season, we find today's encouraging results to be an early indication of the upcoming holiday season's potential for our business."

Looking Ahead

Mr. Tunney continued, "We indicated last quarter that we were planning fiscal 2010 revenue relatively flat due to the uncertainty still swirling about the economy and some segments of retail. Based upon open orders, our performance at retail thus far and our expectation that our products will continue to sell-through at or above last year's levels, we now expect to report modest annual revenue growth for our full fiscal year."

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the disclosures in this news release contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "could," "should," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," or words with similar meanings. Any statements that refer to projections of our future performance, anticipated trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are based upon our current plans and strategies and reflect our current assessment of the risks and uncertainties related to our business. These risks could include, but are not limited to, things such as: our continuing ability to source products from third parties located outside North America; competitive cost pressures; the loss of retailer customers to competitors, consolidations, bankruptcies or liquidations; shifts in consumer preferences; the impact of the highly seasonal nature of our business upon our operations, including customer sell-through during the fall 2009 holiday season; inaccurate forecasting of consumer demand; difficulties liquidating excess inventory; disruption of our supply chain or distribution networks; and our investment of excess cash in certificates of deposit and other non-auction rate marketable securities. You should read this news release carefully, because the forward-looking statements contained in it (1) discuss our future expectations; (2) contain projections of our future results of operations or of our future financial condition; or (3) state other "forward-looking" information. The risk factors described in this news release, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009 (the "2009 Form 10-K"), give examples of the types of uncertainties that may cause actual performance to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. If the events described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of our 2009 Form 10-K occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. You should also know that it is impossible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties related to our business. Consequently, no one should consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date on which the statement is made to reflect unanticipated events. Any further disclosures in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission should also be considered.

CALABASAS, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bank of America announced today that its popular Clarity Commitment(TM) home loan summary - a consumer-friendly document hailed as a lending industry model - is now available for home equity lines of credit and home equity loans.

The Clarity Commitment is a tangible demonstration of the Bank of America Home Loans brand promise to lend responsibly and help customers become successful homeowners. A simple one-page summary of key loan terms, this document lets borrowers review their loan details in plain language so they are confident they have chosen a loan that is right for them.

"We are pleased to introduce the Clarity Commitment to our home equity customers," said Henry Fulton, Home Equity and Reverse Mortgage executive for Bank of America Home Loans. "We take our commitment to responsible lending very seriously. The Home Equity Clarity Commitment helps us provide our customers with the simplicity and transparency they desire and deserve."

The bank introduced the Clarity Commitment last April for refinance and purchase first mortgage loans. It has since been expanded to a portion of modified first mortgage loans; closed-end, fixed-rate, full-draw reverse mortgages; and now for home equity loans and lines of credit as of Oct. 25. Since its inception last spring, more than 730,000 first mortgage Bank of America customers have received Clarity Commitments with their loan documents.

The Home Equity Clarity Commitment is provided on all standalone home equity lines of credit and home equity loans with terms greater than 36 months. It is available in all Bank of America sales channels and is provided to the customer at the point of sale; as a re-disclosure in the event of a loan product change; and with closing packages. (Note: Applications originated through bankofamerica.com will receive the Clarity Commitment in the closing package only.)

When first introduced to the public in April, Bank of America's Clarity Commitment was held up as a model for the lending industry by industry associations and national media. Similar Clarity Commitments for card and deposits products are scheduled to be released in December 2009 and the first half of 2010, respectively.
