HOUSTON, April 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T-3 Energy Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTES) reported first quarter 2010 net income of $2.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $45.0 million, compared with $52.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter of 2009 revenues included a large international shipment, representing over $9.0 million in revenues, which did not repeat for the first quarter of 2010. International revenues represented 50% of total revenues for the quarter.

Gross profit margins for the first quarter of 2010 were unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2009 at 34.8%. Operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.8 million, compared with $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Steve Krablin, T-3's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Led by stronger industry activity, our quarterly bookings increased sequentially by over 10% to $50.3 million, which is our highest bookings level since 2008. During the quarter, our book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 allowed us to increase our March 31st backlog to $39.7 million, which reflects the first sequential quarterly increase in six quarters. We continue to believe that a recovery has started, and we expect improving results throughout 2010 as our revenues and earnings begin to benefit."
