Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 17, 2004, registrant issued a press release titled "RPC, Inc.
Reports 2003 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results," that announced the results
of the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003 and the fiscal year ended December
31, 2003. This press release included a reference to a non-GAAP financial
measure known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). Registrant used this measure because management believes that EBITDA
provides useful information to investors as it represents the measure of pre-tax
cash flow of Registrant, prior to debt service requirements, if any. This Form
8-K/A amends the Form 8-K previously filed with respect to the earnings press
release in order to include the foregoing information, as required by Item 10 of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
