RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RPC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“RPC” or the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, “Consolidation” and Rule 3A-02(a) of Regulation S-X. In accordance with ASC Topic 810 and Rule 3A-02 (a) of Regulation S-X, the Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries and investees where it has voting control.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins, and his brother Gary W. Rollins, who is also a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.

REVENUES

RPC’s revenues are generated principally from providing services and the related equipment. Revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from services and equipment are based on fixed or determinable priced purchase orders or contracts with the customer and do not include the right of return. Rates for services and equipment are priced on a per day, per unit of measure, per man hour or similar basis. Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the consolidated statement of operations and excluded from revenues.

3.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the following applicable Accounting Standards Updates (ASU):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. In addition, an entity is required to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The Company adopted these provisions in the second quarter of 2013 and has included the required additional disclosures in the accompanying financial statements and notes.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

Accounting Standards Update 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The amendments in this ASU requires that when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the parent should release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both: (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity; and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. Upon the occurrence of those events, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and for interim reporting periods within those years, with early adoption being permitted. The Company plans to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. The basic and diluted calculations differ as a result of the dilutive effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded from basic earnings per share. In addition, the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities.

A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:


	Three months ended June 30						Six months ended June 30
(In thousands except per share data )	2013			2012			2013			2012
Net income available for stockholders:	$	40,416		$	72,260		$	75,492		$	153,015
Less: Dividends paid		(22,015	)		(17,512	)		(44,030	)		(35,083	)
Undistributed earnings	$	18,401		$	54,748		$	31,462		$	117,932

Basic shares outstanding:

Restricted shares of common stock		4,176			4,562			4,249			4,558
		215,883			214,893			216,039			215,241
Diluted shares outstanding:

		216,695			216,127			217,190			216,780

Reported basic EPS of the restricted shares of common stock under the two-class method generated the following reductions - $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and $0.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $0.04 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

5.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

6.	BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

RPC’s service lines have been aggregated into two reportable oil and gas services segments, Technical Services and Support Services, because of the similarities between the financial performance and approach to managing the service lines within each of the segments, as well as the economic and business conditions impacting their business activity levels. Corporate includes selected administrative costs incurred by the Company that are not allocated to business units. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the Company’s chief decision maker on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Technical Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer’s well. These services include pressure pumping services, snubbing, coiled tubing, nitrogen pumping, well control consulting and firefighting, downhole tools, wireline, and fluid pumping services. These Technical Services are primarily used in the completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, the mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and international locations including primarily Africa, Australia, Canada, China and Mexico. Customers include major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

Support Services include RPC’s oil and gas service lines that primarily provide equipment for customer use or services to assist customer operations. The equipment and services include drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, inspection and storage services and oilfield training services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. The principal markets for this segment include the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico and the mid-continent regions, and selected international locations. Customers include domestic operations of major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers, and selected nationally-owned oil companies.

Inter-segment revenues are generally recorded in segment operating results at prices that management believes approximate prices for arm’s length transactions and are not material to operating results.

9.	NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

On August 31, 2010, the Company replaced its $200 million credit facility with a $350 million revolving credit facility with Banc of America Securities, LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc, and Regions Capital Markets as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and a syndicate of other lenders. The facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of RPC and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors are considered minor.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The facility has a general term of five years and provides for an unsecured line of credit of up to $350 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $25 million swingline subfacility. The maturity date of all revolving loans under the Credit Agreement is August 31, 2015. The Company has incurred loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with the facility in the aggregate of approximately $2.3 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the five year loan, and the net amount is classified as non-current other assets.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Company’s election:

the Base Rate, which is the highest of Bank of America’s “prime rate” for the day of the borrowing, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%; in each case plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation; or

·	with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based upon a quarterly debt covenant calculation.

In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation, of the unused portion of the credit facility.

The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. Further, the facility contains financial covenants limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt-to-EBITDA to no more than 2.5 to 1, and limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to interest expense to no less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these covenants for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $67.2 million under the facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaling $17.3 million; therefore, a total of $265.5 million of the facility was available.

Interest incurred on the credit facility, interest capitalized related to facilities and equipment under construction, and the related weighted average interest rates were as follows for the periods indicated:

10.	INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its periodic income tax benefit or expense based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for any change to prior period estimates. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 39.5 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 38.9 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 39.2 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 38.7 percent for the comparable period in the prior year.

11.	FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

1.	Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

3.	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The following table summarizes the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	Fair value measurements at June 30, 2013 with:
(in thousands)	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:

		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:
Trading securities	$	—	$	11,103	$	—
Available for sale securities		380		—		—

The Company determines the fair value of the marketable securities that are available-for-sale through quoted market prices. The total fair value is the final closing price, as defined by the exchange in which the asset is actively traded, on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Significant observable inputs in addition to quoted market prices were used to value trading securities. As a result, the Company classified these investments as using level 2 inputs.

The outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Agreement was $67.2 million at June 30, 2013 and $107.0 million at December 31, 2012 which approximates fair value. The fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from the lender (level 2 inputs). The borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit agreement bear interest at the variable rate described in Note 9. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the variable component of the interest rate.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 24.

RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and in selected international locations. The Company’s revenues and profits are generated by providing equipment and services to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. We continuously monitor factors that impact the level of current and expected customer activity levels, such as the price of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our financial results are affected by geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, and our customers’ drilling and production activities.

The discussion of our key business and financial strategies set forth under the Overview section in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 is incorporated herein by reference. In 2013, the Company’s strategy of utilizing equipment in unconventional basins has continued, although we recently curtailed our capital expenditures for new equipment due to the low price of natural gas and a low natural gas drilling rig count. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we made approximately $108.5 million in capital expenditures primarily for the maintenance of our existing revenue-producing equipment as well as new equipment, which were significantly lower than our capital expenditures during the first six months of 2012. Although the price of natural gas has increased recently, the low prices in 2011 and 2012 negatively impacted customer activity levels in natural gas basins. For this reason, we are now focusing on oil and natural gas liquids directed basins where customer activity levels are higher. We anticipate that capital expenditures will continue at these lower levels as compared to the prior year.

During the second quarter of 2013, revenues decreased 8.5 percent to $457.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenues resulted primarily from lower pricing in all of our service lines coupled with lower activity levels in several of our service lines. International revenues for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 7.6 percent to $14.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. International revenues reflect decreases in customer activity levels primarily in New Zealand partially offset by increases in Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Tunisia. We continue to focus on developing international growth opportunities; however, it is difficult to predict when contracts and projects will be initiated and their ultimate duration.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased during the second quarter of 2013 in comparison to the same period of the prior year due to continued competitive pricing for our services coupled with job mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 10.4 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 8.6 percent in the same period in the prior year. This percentage increase was primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense coupled with lower revenues.

Income before income taxes was $66.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $118.3 million in the same period of 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 39.5 percent compared to 38.9 percent in the same period of the prior year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.19 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $0.33 in the same period of 2012. Cash flows from operating activities were $200.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $302.1 million in the same period of 2012 due primarily to a decrease in net income and the impact of the deferred taxes and working capital changes. The notes payable to banks decreased to $67.2 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $107.0 million as of December 31, 2012.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $250 million during full year 2013 although this amount will ultimately depend upon market conditions and other factors. Our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 will be directed primarily towards capitalized equipment maintenance.

Outlook

Drilling activity in the U.S. domestic oilfields, as measured by the rotary drilling rig count, reached a cyclical peak of 2,031 during the third quarter of 2008. The global recession that began during the fourth quarter of 2007 precipitated the steepest annualized rig count decline in U.S. domestic oilfield history. From the third quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009, the U.S. domestic rig count dropped almost 57 percent, reaching a trough of 876 in June 2009. Between its cyclical trough in the second quarter of 2009 and its most recent peak of 2,026 during the fourth quarter of 2011, U.S. domestic drilling activity increased by approximately 131 percent. Beginning late in the fourth quarter of 2011, the domestic drilling rig count began to decline and continued to steadily decline throughout 2012. During the first and second quarters of 2013, the rotary drilling rig count has remained steady. Unconventional activity as a percentage of total oilfield activity has grown steadily over the past several years and was approximately 75 percent of total wells drilled during 2012 and the first and second quarters of 2013. Natural gas-directed drilling activity remains at very low levels, and at the end of the second quarter of 2013 had fallen to a level not recorded since the second quarter of 1995.

The current and projected prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are important catalysts for U.S. domestic drilling activity. The average price of oil has been high during 2012 and 2013, and has remained steady during the first and second quarters of 2013. The sustained high price of oil is reflected in the current composition of the U.S. domestic rig count, approximately 79 percent of which was directed towards oil during the second quarter of 2013. The price of oil should continue to have a positive impact on our customers’ activity levels and our financial results, since RPC has a significant operational presence in the domestic U.S. basins which produce oil. The price of natural gas declined during 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, but recovered during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first and second quarters of 2013. At the end of the second quarter of 2013 the price of natural gas was approximately 50 percent higher than at the same time in 2012. However, these price increases have not encouraged increased natural gas-directed drilling because of record production of natural gas in the U.S. domestic market and a resulting oversupply of natural gas, and the belief among our customers that the spot price of natural gas will remain at current levels during the near term. As noted above, natural gas-directed drilling activity has fallen to its lowest level in 18 years. The price of natural gas liquids has become an increasingly important determinant of our customers’ activities, since its sales comprise a large part of our customers’ revenues, and it is produced in many of the shale resource plays that also produce oil. During 2012, the average price of benchmark natural gas liquids was 31.4 percent lower than in the prior year, although it increased by 4.6 percent during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2013.

The trends in both commodity prices and domestic drilling activity indicate that there will be very little near-term fluctuation in our customer’s overall activity levels or in our revenues. We do not believe that the overall rig count will increase during the remainder of 2013 unless the price of natural gas increases significantly.

We continue to monitor the market for our services and the competitive environment in 2013. We are concerned about the low prices and continued high production of natural gas and natural gas liquids, and the fact that the high cost of completing wells in many unconventional shale plays has discouraged our customers from conducting drilling and completion activities in these areas until these commodity prices improve. In addition, we continue to monitor our customers’ financial condition, because the prolonged low price of natural gas may cause financial distress among our less well-capitalized customers, thus jeopardizing timely collection of our accounts receivable. We also monitor the competitive environment because the high historical financial returns and favorable long-term outlook for our industry attracted new entrants and encouraged existing service companies to purchase additional revenue-producing equipment during 2011 and 2012. Due to the decline in domestic drilling activity that began in the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as the decrease in service-intensive drilling activities related to natural gas-directed shale plays, we believe that there is an excess of service capacity in the U.S. domestic market at the present time. Additionally, many of the contractual agreements in our pressure pumping service line expired during 2012, and we now operate the majority of our fleets in the spot market, which in the current market has resulted in lower utilization and pricing. Because of these concerns, we anticipate that our equipment purchases will be lower in 2013 than in 2012. Our consistent response to the industry’s potential uncertainty is to maintain sufficient liquidity and a conservative capital structure and monitor our discretionary spending. Although we have used our bank credit facility to finance our expansion, we will continue to maintain a conservative financial structure by industry standards.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 8.5 percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Domestic revenues of $443.1 million decreased 8.5 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases in revenues are due primarily to lower pricing coupled with lower activity levels in most of our service lines. International revenues of $14.4 million decreased 7.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. Our international revenues are impacted by the timing of project initiation and their ultimate duration and can be difficult to predict.

The average price of natural gas was 73.4 percent higher and the average price of oil was 1.2 percent higher during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count during the quarter was approximately 10.6 percent lower than the same period in 2012.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Technical Services segment revenues for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 8.1 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenues in this segment decreased due primarily to increasingly competitive pricing in all our service lines and lower activity levels in several service lines within this segment. The Support Services segment revenues for the second quarter of 2013 decreased by 12.8 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to lower utilization and pricing within rental tools, the largest service line within this segment. Operating profit in the Technical and Support Services segment declined due to lower revenues caused primarily by more competitive pricing for our service lines.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased 2.2 percent to $287.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $281.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues increased due to higher materials and supplies expense resulting primarily from more service intensive jobs in our pressure pumping service line during the second quarter 2013 compared to the prior year. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, increased in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to continued competitive pricing for our services coupled with job mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million or 10.4 percent to $47.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period prior year due primarily to an increase in bad debt expense, the majority of which related to a customer bankruptcy. As a percentage of revenues, these costs increased to 10.4 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 8.6 percent during the same period in the prior year. This percentage increase was principally as a result of the increase in bad debt expense coupled with lower revenues.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $942 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $650 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in 2013 is due primarily to interest expense resulting from a sales tax audit, partially offset by a lower average debt balance on our revolving credit facility in the second quarter 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision of $26.4 million decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in comparison to $46.1 million for the same period in 2012 due to lower income before income taxes.

Revenues in this segment decreased primarily due to increasingly competitive pricing in all our service lines and lower activity levels in several of our service lines. The Support Services segment revenues for the quarter decreased by 17.8 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to lower utilization and pricing within rental tools, the largest service line within this segment.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues remained relatively stable at $555.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $555.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased compared to the same period of 2012 due to lower pricing for our services and higher materials and supplies expense resulting primarily from more service intensive jobs in our pressure pumping service line.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in 2013 is due primarily to interest expense resulting from a sales tax audit, partially offset by a lower average debt balance on our revolving credit facility in the second quarter 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013 were $10.3 million. The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three and six months ended June 30
(In thousands)	2013			2012

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	200,648		$	302,134
Net cash used for investing activities		(103,332	)		(196,203	)
Net cash used for financing activities		(101,220	)		(104,068	)

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $101.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in net income of $77.5 million, an unfavorable change in deferred taxes of $22.6 million due to a decrease in bonus depreciation resulting from lower capital expenditures, and an unfavorable change in working capital of $9.7 million. The major components of the unfavorable change in working capital include: an unfavorable change of $41.4 million in accounts receivable due to the decline in revenues; unfavorable changes of $2.8 million in accrued state, local and other taxes and of $1.3 million in accounts payable due primarily to the timing of payments; partially offset by a favorable change of $24.9 million in inventories which declined during the current period primarily due to the drawdown of the levels of critical supplies that require longer lead times; a favorable change of $5.9 million in other current assets due to higher deposits on raw materials in the prior year in comparison to the current period; and a favorable change of $6.5 million in net current income taxes payable.

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $92.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of lower capital expenditures.

Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $2.8 million primarily as a result of lower open market share repurchases partially offset by a 25 percent increase in the per share common stock dividend during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2013 remains strong. We believe the liquidity provided by our existing cash and cash equivalents, our overall strong capitalization and cash expected to be generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company currently has a $350 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) that matures in August 2015. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants including covenants restricting RPC’s ability to incur liens or merge or consolidate with another entity. Our outstanding borrowings were $67.2 million at June 30, 2013 and approximately $17.3 million of the credit facility supports outstanding letters of credit relating to self-insurance programs or contract bids. Accordingly, a total of $265.5 million was available under our facility as of June 30, 2013. Additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreement is included in Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position, including access to borrowings under our credit facility, and the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations. We believe our liquidity will continue to provide the opportunity to grow our asset base and revenues during periods with positive business conditions and strong customer activity levels. In addition, the Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing activities may also be influenced by the financial covenants in our credit facility.

Cash Requirements

The Company currently expects that capital expenditures will be approximately $250 million during 2013, of which $108.5 million has been spent as of June 30, 2013. We expect these expenditures for the remainder of 2013 to be primarily directed towards capitalized equipment maintenance. The actual amount of 2013 capital expenditures will depend primarily on equipment maintenance requirements, expansion opportunities, and equipment delivery schedules and can be modified based on market conditions and other factors.

The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions subject to varying interpretations of statutes. The Company has recorded the exposure from these audits to the extent issues are resolved or are reasonably estimable. There are issues that could result in unfavorable outcomes that cannot be currently estimated.

The Company’s Retirement Income Plan, a multiple employer trusteed defined benefit pension plan, provides monthly benefits upon retirement at age 65 to eligible employees. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company contributed approximately $0.8 million to this plan and does not expect to make any additional contributions during the remainder of 2013.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company has a stock buyback program that authorizes the repurchase of 31,578,125 shares. On June 5, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 5,000,000 shares for repurchase under this program. There were 1,197,533 shares purchased on the open market during the second quarter of 2013, and 5,026,315 shares remain available to be repurchased as of June 30, 2013. The Company may repurchase outstanding common shares periodically based on market conditions and our capital allocation strategies considering restrictions under our credit facility. The stock buyback program does not have a predetermined expiration date.

On July 23, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share cash dividend payable September 10, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business August 9, 2013. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.

INFLATION

The Company purchases its equipment and materials from suppliers who provide competitive prices, and employs skilled workers from competitive labor markets. If inflation in the general economy increases, the Company’s costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well. Also, increases in activity in the domestic oilfield can cause upward wage pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees as well as increases in the costs of certain materials and key equipment components used to provide services to the Company’s customers. During 2012, the Company incurred higher employment costs due to a continued shortage of skilled labor in many of its markets, although these cost pressures subsided during the second half of 2012 and the first two quarters of 2013. The Company expects that the cost of labor will remain high, but that labor costs will remain relatively stable during the third and fourth quarters of 2013. During 2012, the prices of certain raw materials used to provide the Company’s services fluctuated significantly. The Company mitigated some of the cost increases for raw materials by securing materials through additional sources, and the Company is continuing these efforts in 2013. In addition, the overall market prices for several raw materials used by the Company to provide services to its customers have declined during the first and second quarters of 2013 due to relatively stable levels of oilfield activity and increased supplies of these raw materials. Finally, the price of equipment used to provide services to the Company’s customers has not increased during the past several quarters, and in certain cases has decreased due to lower demand for such equipment by oilfield service companies.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Marine Products Corporation

Effective February 28, 2001, the Company spun-off the business conducted through Chaparral Boats, Inc, RPC’s former powerboat manufacturing segment. In conjunction with the spin-off, RPC and Marine Products Corporation entered into various agreements that define the companies’ relationship. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, RPC charged Marine Products Corporation for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products Corporation totaling approximately $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $231,000 for the comparable period in 2012.

Other

The Company periodically purchases in the ordinary course of business products or services from suppliers who are owned by officers or significant stockholders of, or affiliated with the directors of RPC. The total amounts paid to these affiliated parties were approximately $638,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $624,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

RPC receives certain administrative services and rents office space from Rollins, Inc. (a company of which Mr. R. Randall Rollins is also Chairman, and which is controlled by Mr. Rollins and his affiliates). The service agreements between Rollins, Inc. and the Company provide for the provision of services on a cost reimbursement basis and are terminable on six months’ notice. The services covered by these agreements include office space, selected administration services for certain employee benefit programs, and other administrative services. Charges to the Company (or to corporations which are subsidiaries of the Company) for such services and rent aggregated approximately $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

SEASONALITY

Oil and natural gas prices affect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s business depends in large part on the conditions of the oil and gas industry, and specifically on the capital expenditures of its customers related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. There is a positive correlation between these expenditures and customers’ demand for the Company’s services. As such, when these expenditures fluctuate, customers’ demand for the Company’s services fluctuates as well. These fluctuations depend on the current and projected prices of oil and natural gas and resulting drilling activity, and are not seasonal to any material degree.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; our belief that capital expenditures will be lower in 2013 than in 2012; our plan to continue to focus on international growth opportunities; our expectation for the amount and focus of our capital expenditures during 2013; our belief that the high price of oil should continue to have a positive impact on our customers’ activity levels and our financial results; our belief that the overall rig count will not increase during the remainder of 2013 unless the price of natural gas increases significantly ; our plan to maintain sufficient liquidity and a conservative capital structure and monitor our discretionary spending; our belief that trends in both commodity prices and domestic drilling activity indicate that there will be very little near-term fluctuation in our customer’s overall activity levels or in our revenues; our statement that the prolonged low price of natural gas may cause financial distress among our less well-capitalized customers, jeopardizing timely collection of our accounts receivable; our anticipation that our equipment purchases will be lower in 2013 than in 2012; our belief that the uncertain direction of many of the catalysts impacting our revenues and profitability cause it to be increasingly unlikely that the Company’s consolidated revenues and profitability in 2013 will be higher than in 2012; our business strategy, plans and objectives; market risk exposure; adequacy of capital resources and funds; opportunity for growth and expansion; anticipated pension funding payments and capital expenditures; our expectation that we will continue to pay cash dividends; the possible unfavorable outcome of sales and use tax audits; the impact of inflation and related trends on the Company’s financial position and operating results; our belief that changes in foreign exchange rates is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition; our belief that the outcome of litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position or results of operations; and our beliefs and expectations regarding future demand for our products and services, and other events and conditions that may influence the oilfield services market and our performance in the future. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “focus,” “plan,” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, its other SEC filings and the following: the declines in the price of oil and natural gas, which tend to result in a decrease in drilling activity and therefore a decline in the demand for our services, the actions of the OPEC cartel, the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict in the oil producing regions of the world, which could impact drilling activity, adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, competition in the oil and gas industry, the Company’s ability to implement price increases, the potential impact of possible future regulations on hydraulic fracturing on our business, risks of international operations , and reliance on large customers .

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, there are outstanding interest-bearing advances of $67.2 million on our credit facility which bear interest at a floating rate. A change in the interest rate of one percent on the outstanding balance of the credit facility at June 30, 2013 would cause a change of $0.7 million in total annual interest costs.

Additionally, the Company is exposed to market risk resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates. However, since the majority of the Company’s transactions occur in U.S. currency, this risk is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, June 30, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting – Management’s evaluation of changes in internal control did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
