HOUSTON, (July 20, 2004) — Boots & Coots International
Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL), a global prevention, emergency
response and restoration company for the oil and gas industry,
plans to release earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2004
on Tuesday, August 3.
“We have streamlined our internal processes so that
we can report financial results to our shareholders more quickly,” stated
Jerry Winchester, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As
a result, we will be announcing second quarter results closer
to 30 days after the quarter ends as opposed to contemporaneously
with the 45-day filing deadline.
“The second quarter was a strong quarter for our response
segment, with response work in Iraq, Nigeria and Germany, as
well as activity domestically,” continued Winchester. “Much
of this work resulted from acts of sabotage within Iraq, and
we continue to be willing and ready to assist in Iraq and globally
in responding to terrorist acts affecting oil and gas infrastructures.
Our prevention revenues remained flat during the quarter but
we continue to believe that activity will increase in this
segment over the latter half of the year. We are committed
to expanding existing SafeGuard services and developing new
SafeGuard locations, as well as aggressively pursuing other
business development opportunities that offer to increase our
predictable revenue base.”
