Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The words anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, plans, intends
and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements but are not the
exclusive means of identifying them. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of
our management; however, various risks, uncertainties and contingencies, including the risks
identified below, could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements, including the success or failure of our
efforts to implement our business strategy.
We assume no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks,
2
uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.
Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause future events and results to differ
materially from those anticipated by us in the forward-looking statements included in this report
are the following:
|
|
|
A material decline in the level of oil and gas exploration and production, to which
we refer as E&P, and any reduction in the industrys willingness to spend capital on
environmental and oilfield services could adversely affect the demand for our services; |
|
|
|
|
Material changes in oil and gas prices, expectations about future prices, the cost of
exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas, the discovery rate of new oil and
gas reserves and the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital could adversely
affect the demand for our services; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in domestic and international political, military, regulatory and economic
conditions may adversely affect the demand for oil and gas or production volumes; |
|
|
|
|
A rescission or relaxation of government regulations affecting E&P waste disposal
could reduce the demand for our services and reduce our revenues and income. |
|
|
|
|
Changes in existing regulations could require us to change the way we do business,
which may have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows; |
|
|
|
|
Our patents or other proprietary technology may not prevent our competitors from
developing substantially similar technology, which would reduce any competitive
advantages we may have from these patents and proprietary technology; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to keep pace with the continual and rapid technological
developments that characterize the market for our products and services, and our failure
to do so may result in our loss of market share; |
|
|
|
|
We face intense competition in our existing markets and expect to face competition in
any markets into which we seek to expand, which may put pressure on our ability to
maintain our current market share and may limit our ability to expand our market share
or enter into new markets; |
|
|
|
|
Our acquisitions or new market expansions may not achieve sales and profitability
levels that justify our investment in them, which could result in these businesses
placing downward pressure on our margins, our disposing of these businesses at a loss or
potential impairment of goodwill related to these businesses; |
|
|
|
|
The demand for our services may be adversely affected by shortages of critical
supplies or equipment in the oil and gas industry and personnel trained to operate this
equipment; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be successful in gaining acceptance or market share for new products and
services, including Bravo mats and our newly licensed proprietary water treatment
technology; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to maintain the necessary permits to operate our non-hazardous
waste disposal wells or we may not be able to successfully compete in this market; |
3
|
|
|
Adverse weather conditions could disrupt drilling operations and reduce the demand
for our services; |
|
|
|
|
We may fail to comply with any of the numerous federal, state and local laws,
regulations and policies that govern environmental protection, zoning and other matters
applicable to our business, or these regulations and policies may change, and we may
face fines or other penalties if we fail to comply with existing or new regulations, or be forced to make
significant capital expenditures or changes to our operations; |
|
|
|
|
Our business exposes us to potential environmental and regulatory liability, and we
could be required to pay substantial amounts with respect to these liabilities,
including the costs to clean up and close contaminated sites; |
|
|
|
|
We may not have adequate insurance for potential liabilities, and any significant
liability not covered by insurance or in excess of our coverage limits could have a
material adverse affect on our financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
Our international operations are subject to uncertainties which could limit our
ability to expand or reduce the revenues and profitability of these operations,
including difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of
complex foreign laws, treaties and regulations, unexpected changes in regulatory
environments, inadequate protection of intellectual property in foreign countries, legal
uncertainties, timing delays and expenses associated with tariffs, export licenses and
other trade barriers, among other risks; |
|
|
|
|
Any increases in interest rates under our credit facility, either as a result of
increases in the prime or LIBOR rates or as a result of changes in our funded debt to
cash flow ratio, would increase our cost of borrowing and have an adverse affect on our
consolidated financial statements; and |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to retire or refinance our long-term debt at or before its
maturity, whether due to conditions in financial markets or our own financial condition
at that future time. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any
replacement long-term financing on terms as favorable to us as under our current
financing. |
For further information regarding these and other factors, risks and uncertainties affecting
us, we refer you to the risk factors set forth in the Prospectus included in our Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed on May 8, 2002 (File No. 333-87840), to the section entitled
Forward-Looking Statements on page 17 of that Prospectus and to our periodic reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Interim Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Newpark Resources,
Inc. (Newpark) as of September 30, 2005, the results of its operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and its cash flows for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited
financial statements and related notes filed in Newparks Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results
of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. We have reclassified certain amounts
previously reported to conform with the presentation at September 30, 2005.

Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, Newpark had dilutive stock options and warrants of approximately 4.6 million
shares and 3.4 million shares, respectively, which were assumed to be exercised using the treasury
stock method. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, Newpark had dilutive
stock options and warrants of approximately 3.0 million shares and 1.9 million shares,
respectively, which were assumed to be exercised using the treasury stock method. The resulting
net effects of stock options and warrants were used in calculating diluted income per share for
these periods.
Options and warrants to purchase a total of approximately 4.7 million shares and 6.0 million
shares, respectively, of common stock were outstanding during the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2005, but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share
because they were anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase a total of approximately 7.2
million shares and 8.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding during the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of
diluted income per share because they were anti-dilutive.
The net effects of the assumed conversion of preferred stock have been excluded from the
computation of diluted income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004
because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation
At September 30, 2005, Newpark maintained six stock-based compensation plans, including four
stock option plans and two long-term incentive plans. Newpark applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 25 (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation
plans. In accordance with this guidance, no compensation cost has been recognized for Newparks
stock option plans as the exercise price of all stock options granted thereunder is equal to the
fair value at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded for Newparks long-term
incentive plans. Had compensation costs for all of Newparks stock-based compensation plans been
determined
10
based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the
method of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Newparks net income and net income
per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

During the year ended December 31, 2004, Newpark modified the terms of non-director and
non-executive officer stock options to accelerate the vesting of out-of-the-money options. This
resulted in a decrease of approximately $177,000 and $661,000, respectively, in the pro forma
after-tax expense that otherwise would have been reported for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 presented above.

Note 6 Acquisitions
On April 18, 2005, Newpark acquired OLS Consulting Services, Inc. (OLS) in exchange for a
net cash payment of $840,000. The principal assets of OLS included patents licensed to The Loma
Company, LLC (LOMA) for use in the manufacture of composite mats, its 51% membership interest in
LOMA and a note receivable from LOMA. As a result of the acquisition of OLS, Newpark, through two
of its subsidiaries, owns all of the outstanding equity interests in LOMA.
12
The acquisition of OLS and consolidation of LOMA were accounted for following the principles
of FAS 141. The purchase price, including approximately $57,000 of acquisition costs, was
allocated to the net assets of OLS and LOMA based on preliminary estimates of fair value at the
date of acquisition as shown in the table below (in thousands). Estimates are considered
preliminary principally pending final income tax amounts which affect the recording of deferred
taxes.

Note 7 New Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, (FAS 123(R)) which is a revision of FAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. FAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows.
Generally, the approach in FAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However,
FAS 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is
no longer an alternative. FAS 123(R) permits adoption of its requirements using one of two
methods: (1) a modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning
with the effective date of FAS 123(R) (a) based on the requirement of FAS 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after that effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123
for all awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the
effective date; and (2) a modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the
modified prospective method previously described, but also permits restatement of prior periods
based on the amounts previously reported in pro forma disclosures under FAS 123. Newpark currently
plans to adopt FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method and to continue using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options. On April 14,
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced amended compliance dates for FAS 123(R) and
the new rules now require Newpark to adopt FAS 123(R) starting with its first quarter of its fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2006.
As permitted by FAS 123, Newpark currently accounts for stock-based compensation using APB
25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee
stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 123(R) may have a material impact on Newparks
results of operations. However, the ultimate impact of adoption of FAS 123(R) cannot be predicted
at this time because it will depend on
13
levels of share-based payments granted in the future. If Newpark had adopted FAS 123(R) in
prior periods, the impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, would
have approximated the impact of FAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and
earnings per share in Note 3.
In November 2004, the FASB issued FAS 151, Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). It requires that these items be recognized as
current-period charges regardless of whether they meet a criterion of so abnormal. FAS 151 is
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Management has not yet determined the impact that adoption of FAS 151 will have on Newparks
financial results.

Note 9
Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information should be read in
conjunction with the notes to these consolidated financial statements and has been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations for condensed financial information. The supplemental
condensed consolidated financial information does not include all disclosures included in annual
financial statements; nevertheless, Newpark believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. Certain reclassifications were made to conform all of
the financial information to the financial
14
presentation on a consolidated basis. The principal eliminating entries eliminate investments
in subsidiaries, intercompany balances and intercompany revenues and expenses. The allocation of
the consolidated income tax provision was made using the with and without allocation method.

conversion price of $5.89, and cancelled the 80,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As a
result of these conversions, no preferred stock was outstanding at September 30, 2005.
Note 12 Contingencies
During the three months ended September 30, 2005 Newparks fluids sales and engineering and
E&P waste disposal operations along the Gulf Coast were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
As a result, Newpark recorded impairment losses related to property, plant and equipment damages
totaling $3.8 million, inventory losses totaling $1.7 million and additional costs as a direct
result of the storms totaling $600,000, including a $100,000 insurance deductible per occurrence.
As of September 30, 2005, Newpark also recorded receivables for insurance recoveries up to the
amount of the recognized losses. Realization of the claims for these recognized losses is
considered probable since the replacement cost exceeds the recognized losses. Newpark expects to
receive insurance proceeds in excess of the amounts of losses recorded. In addition, Newpark
maintains business interruption insurance for its operations along the Gulf Coast and is presently
evaluating potential recoveries under these policies.
Note 13 Income Taxes
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, Newpark recorded an income tax provision of $1.6
million, reflecting an income tax rate of 23.5%. For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Newpark
recorded an income tax provision of $589,000, reflecting an income tax rate of 38.0%. The lower
effective rate in the third quarter of 2005 reflects the impact of favorable changes in estimates
principally for certain foreign tax reserves due to favorable results of tax audits in a foreign
jurisdiction.
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and
capital resources should be read together with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as well as our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Operating Environment and Recent Developments
Our operating results depend in large measure on oil and gas drilling activity levels in the
markets we serve, as well as on the depth of drilling, which governs the revenue potential of each
well. Most of these activities are exposed to weather conditions in each region. The activity
levels, in turn, depend on oil and gas commodities pricing, inventory levels and product demand.
Rig count data is the most widely accepted indicator of drilling activity. Key average rig count
data for the last seven quarters is listed in the following table:

Our primary markets include: (1) South Louisiana Land, (2) Texas Railroad Commission Districts
2 and 3, (3) Louisiana and Texas Inland Waters, (4) Offshore Gulf of Mexico, (5) the U.S. central
region (including the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Oklahoma and West Texas), (6) Canada and (7)
areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Europe.
Key Developments
Our primary Gulf Coast oilfield market accounted for approximately 48% of third quarter 2005
revenues and 51% of third quarter 2004 revenues. Prior to 1998, the Gulf Coast oilfield market
accounted for 97% of total revenues. The overall decline in the percentage of Gulf Coast revenues
over the last several years is the result of managements strategy to diversify its revenue base
and relatively flat Gulf Coast market activity.
The recent increase in intense hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico had a significant
impact on Gulf Coast revenues in the third quarter of 2005 and, to a lesser extent, in the third
quarter of 2004. In the third quarter of 2005, all of our Gulf Coast operations were impacted by
severe weather and several of our drilling fluids and E&P waste facilities sustained significant
damage as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. These facilities were primarily located in
Venice and Cameron, Louisiana. Our Venice facilities are expected to remain idled until early in
2006. All other facilities are operating, though our Cameron sites are currently providing only
limited services to drilling fluids and E&P waste customers until repairs currently underway are
completed, which is expected in December. We anticipate that we will see more activity in that key
offshore support market in the first quarter of 2006 as customers return to more normal operating
patterns.
As a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, in the third quarter of 2005 we recorded
impairment losses related to property, plant and equipment damages totaling $3.8 million, inventory
losses totaling $1.7 million and additional costs as a direct result of the storms totaling
$600,000, including a $100,000 insurance deductible per occurrence. As of September 30, 2005, we
recorded receivables for insurance recoveries, which we deem
21
probable to be realized, up to the amount of the recognized losses. We expect to ultimately
receive insurance proceeds in excess of the amounts of losses recorded. In addition, we maintain
business interruption insurance for our operations along the Gulf Coast and are presently
evaluating potential recoveries under these policies. Any gains that may result from our insurance
coverage will be recorded when such amounts are realized.
Absent the recent effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we had experienced an increase in
Gulf Coast oilfield market activity since the beginning of 2005. However, we continue to believe
that the majority of our growth will come from other markets and new product offerings in the
markets we serve.
Fluids Sales and Engineering. We continue to develop a position in the drilling
fluids market by expanding our customer base, drawing upon increasing acceptance of our proprietary
DeepDrill and FlexDrill technologies. We have introduced the New-100 oil-based drilling fluid
system in the western Canadian market and are beginning to introduce it in the U.S. central region.
This fluid system incorporates a principal component from the DeepDrill family to replace salt,
which solves some of the environmental problems associated with oil-based fluids and improves
drilling performance. This fluid has demonstrated up to 30% increased penetration rates on deep
wells and is rapidly gaining market acceptance. We believe that certain of these new products
improve the economics of the drilling process and will make it easier for our customers to comply
with increasingly strict environmental regulations affecting their drilling operations. Based on
customer acceptance of our technology and service capability, we anticipate introducing these
products and services in several additional foreign markets. We recently announced the execution
of a memorandum of understanding to form a new company that will provide drilling fluids products
and services in Brazil, in partnership with a well-established Brazilian company.
During 2004 our product costs increased across most of the U.S. markets that we serve.
Specifically, in the second half of 2004, the ocean freight cost to ship barite from our foreign
suppliers increased significantly. In 2005, raw materials costs and fuel costs have risen
significantly. These cost increases have been partially offset by price increases to our customers
during the first nine months of 2005. We are continuing to increase prices to our customers as
contracts are negotiated or renewed.
Mat and Integrated Services. During the first nine months of 2005 pricing for mat
installation and re-rentals in the U.S. oilfield market improved slightly. We believe that prices
should continue to improve and expect some increase in volume of mats installed beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2005 and into 2006 as funds are allocated to new drilling projects.
Beginning in late 2004, we implemented cost reduction measures in this segment, principally
related to resizing our rental fleet, reducing infrastructure, outsourcing transportation and other
services and reducing payroll. In connection with resizing our rental fleet, we expect the
remaining cost reductions will be realized in the fourth quarter as depreciation expense is
completed on portions of our wooden mat fleet that we do not intend to replace, allowing the fleet
size to decline to match decreased market demand.
We continue to develop the worldwide market for our Dura-Base composite mat system. Our
marketing efforts for this product remain focused in eight principal markets,
22
including Canada, Alaska and the Arctic, Russia, the Middle East, South America, Mexico,
Indonesia and the U.S. utilities markets. We have completed sales in all of these markets. In
addition, we are continuing to develop a mat rental business in Mexico.
Over the past several years of marketing this product and evaluating customer acceptance, we
have gained valuable information and have modified our marketing and product development strategies
accordingly. These strategies include the development of several markets outside our traditional
oilfield market. These new markets include infrastructure construction applications, particularly
for maintenance and upgrades of electric utility transmission lines in response to increasing
demand for electricity in many parts of the country, and for other infrastructure construction
applications and temporary roads for movement of oversized or unusually heavy loads.
We recently completed the acquisition of the third-party ownership in our Dura-Base mat
manufacturing facility and restarted production at that facility in August 2005. We are now
implementing several improvements to that product family based on our experience with rental and
sales of this product.
We believe our new lightweight Bravo Mat system will substantially broaden the opportunities
for mat sales. This new mat system has been designed specifically for personnel applications,
including temporary event surfaces, walkways, tent flooring and other applications. We believe
that the Bravo system is rapidly gaining market acceptance.
E&P Waste Disposal. Absent the impact of the major hurricanes in the third quarter of
2005, we had experienced an increase in Gulf Coast market activity, principally associated with the
inland barge market. We believe that the damage from the recent hurricanes to the service
infrastructure, docks and rig fleet in the Gulf Coast market will negatively impact E&P Waste
Disposal revenues during the fourth quarter and until all available rigs and related service
infrastructure are back in service in 2006.
In early 2005 we announced the formation of Newpark Environmental Water Solutions, LLC
(NEWS), through which we intend to commercialize the ARMEL Activator technology, a proprietary
and patented water treatment technology. The new technology employs principles of sonochemistry to
remove dissolved solids from the wastewater. Where necessary, the technology can be introduced into
conventional treatment processes, rendering those processes much more effective and economical.
During the first quarter of 2005, NEWS took delivery of its first water treatment system, which has
been installed at our Boulder, Wyoming, facility, originally opened in 2003. While still in the
start-up and testing phase of our operating plan, we are producing treated water that meets the
discharge requirements of our permit. This facility will service customers in the Jonah and
Pinedale fields. First revenues for NEWS were realized in the third quarter of 2005. As a result
of favorable tests of this facility, we have accelerated plans to increase the plants throughput
capacity, and have initiated several additions to the original plant design aimed at raising output
to as much as 8,000 barrels per day. These developments should be fully in place by mid-December.
NEWS was also awarded its first contract for processing produced water from coal bed methane
production near Gillette, Wyoming. We are constructing a 20,000 barrel per day capacity facility
at that location, with completion expected during the fourth quarter of
23
2005. In addition, two
testing and demonstration plants have been transported to the
Canadian market and are expected to begin testing in late November in the Fort McMurray Oil Sands
market.
Other Market Trends
Current long-term industry analyses forecast difficulty in meeting anticipated growing demand
for natural gas. In addition, current gas reserves are being depleted at a rate faster than
replacement through current drilling activities. Many shallow fields in the Gulf Coast market have
been heavily exploited. Improved economics and technology have increased the interest of producers
to drill at greater depths to reach the larger gas reserves. This trend is limited by the
availability of rigs of adequate capacity to reach these deeper objectives. We expect gas drilling
activity to be increasingly associated with deeper, more costly wells. We view this trend as
favorable to demand for product offerings in all of our segments.
Current short-term industry forecasts suggest that we could see a slight increase in the
number of rigs active in our primary Gulf Coast market, but this increase is expected to develop
slowly as customers react to the changing risk profile of the market. The number of rigs active in
the offshore and inland water Gulf Coast markets is expected to increase slowly due to a lack of
rigs of adequate capability. In addition, a number of rigs were lost in the third-quarter
hurricanes. We anticipate continued revenue growth in the markets we serve, driven by market share
gains in critical, deep water and geologically deeper wells which generate higher levels of revenue
per well. This market penetration is the result of our performance and continued success of new
products, including our DeepDrill and FlexDrill families of products.

Newparks revenue growth has outpaced U.S. rig count growth by almost three times due to
increased market penetration. The average number of rigs we serviced in the U.S. market increased
by 22%, from 180 in the third quarter of 2004 to 220 in the third quarter of 2005. Average annual
revenue per rig in the U.S. market increased by 13%, from $1,353,000 in the third quarter of 2004
to $1,524,000 in the third quarter of 2005, principally due to an increase in the number of Gulf
Coast inland water rigs serviced, which typically yield higher annual revenues per rig.
Despite the level of tropical storm activity in the quarter, revenues in our primary Gulf
Coast market for the third quarter of 2005 were 46% higher than in the prior year due to both
higher pricing and increased share in the markets we serve. In the Gulf Coast market we serviced
an average of 97 rigs in the third quarter of 2005, compared to 66 in the third quarter of 2004, an
increase of 47%. The average number of rigs operating in this region increased 20%, from 432 rigs
in the third quarter of 2004 to 519 in the third quarter of 2005. The difference between the
increase in the number of rigs we serviced in this region and the number of rigs active in the
region reflects our market penetration. We have significantly improved our key drilling fluid
customer relationships in this market and believe that those customers will be increasingly active
in the Gulf Coast market during the remainder of the year and 2006, though the total number of
active rigs is not expected to increase significantly.
Revenues in the U.S. Central region for the third quarter of 2005 were 25% higher than in the
prior year. In the U.S. Central region we serviced an average of 123 rigs in the third quarter of
2005, compared to 114 in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 8%. The average number of rigs
operating in this region increased 10%, from 493 rigs in the third quarter of 2004 to 540 in the
third quarter of 2005. While our market share remained relatively constant in this region, the
average annual revenue per rig in this market increased 16%, from $996,000 in the third quarter of
2004 to $1,154,000 in the third quarter of 2005, due to increases in pricing and an increase in the
number of deeper wells serviced.
26
Revenues in the Canadian market increased nearly three-fold during the third quarter of 2005,
compared to the third quarter of 2004. The introduction of our New-100 oil-based drilling fluid
system in the western Canadian market in late 2004 has increased revenues and market share in the
northern portion of this market, which is characterized by deeper drilling and higher revenue per
rig. The Canadian market in 2004 was burdened by an unusually long break-up period that depressed
revenue and earnings in that period.
Revenues in the Mediterranean market increased 53% during the quarter ended September 30,
2005, compared to the third quarter of 2004. This increase was principally related to increased
market penetration in the North African locations that we service.
Operating Income
Notwithstanding increases in costs due to the storms, operating income for this segment
increased $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 on a $32.9 million increase in revenues,
compared to the third quarter of 2004. The operating margin for this segment in the third quarter
of 2005 was 12.2%, compared to 7.0% in the third quarter of 2004. The increase in operating margin
was principally attributable to recent price increases and the operating leverage of this segment.
The increase in operating margin was partially offset by increased product and fuel costs that have
not been fully recovered through price increases to our customers. Increases in pricing are
anticipated to recover these cost increases throughout the remainder of 2005.
Operating margins for this segment in the fourth quarter will be impacted by the pace at which
activity in the Gulf Coast market recovers to pre-storm levels. Prior to hurricanes Katrina and
Rita, Gulf Coast activity had been increasing and our market share in this market had been
increasing. While we have business interruption insurance to cover a portion of the reductions in
our income associated with these storms, the amount of such coverage that will ultimately be
realized has not yet been determined.

U.S. oilfield mat rental volume for the third quarter of 2005 totaled 2.3 million square feet
at an average price of $1.09 per square foot. This compares to 3.4 million square feet at an
average price of $1.03 per square foot in the third quarter of 2004. A number of projects
experienced delays in the quarter due to weather, reducing revenue in the segment. Our oilfield
mat rental pricing should continue to increase as market conditions improve. Any further
improvement in revenue will be contingent upon increased utilization of our mat inventory, related
in part to reductions in available mat inventory, and to improvements in market activity.
Re-rental revenues increased by approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of 2005, compared to
2004, partially offsetting the decline in installation revenues.
Revenues from non-oilfield mat rentals, a premium margin market composed principally of
utility and infrastructure construction markets, declined significantly in the third quarter of
2005 compared to the year ago period. This decline was principally due to the reallocation of
resources within our customer base as a result of the series of tropical storms impacting the
southeast United States in the third quarter. In addition, we believe that our customers are
beginning to delay infrastructure projects during the peak summer energy consumption months in
order to minimize the potential for disruptions in service. We continue to believe that this
market has growth opportunities due to increasing demand for electricity and the aging of our
nations electrical power delivery infrastructure.
The decline in Canadian wooden mat sales is a function of the seasonal timing of orders and is
not indicative of any material change in this market. Our matting systems continue to gain market
acceptance in Canada as a means to improve the operating efficiency for our customers.
Sales of DuraBase and Bravo composite mats generated revenue of $4.9 million in the third
quarter of 2005, compared to $5.6 million of revenue a year ago. The number of Bravo units sold
doubled to over 7,500 units in the current quarter compared to the prior year on improved market
acceptance of the product. Sales of the stronger and more expensive DuraBase units declined from
3,300 units a year ago to 1,200 in the most recent quarter.
Operating Income
Mat and integrated services operating income declined $1.0 million in the third quarter of
2005 on a $2.7 million decrease in revenues, compared to the third quarter of 2004. The decline in
operating income resulting from the revenue decline was partially offset by cost reduction measures
which began in 2004. We expect the remaining cost reductions will be realized in the fourth
quarter as depreciation expense is completed on portions of our wooden mat fleet that we do not
intend to replace.

In spite of a very active hurricane season in the Gulf Coast market during the third quarter
of 2005, we received 683,000 barrels of E&P waste, compared to 640,000 barrels in the comparable
period in 2004. The average revenue per barrel in the Gulf Coast market increased 5% to $12.59,
compared to an average of $11.97 in 2004, but total revenues decreased $500,000, or 5%, due to a
decline in revenues from other E&P services, principally saltwater disposal. Prior to the storms,
waste volume had advanced in each consecutive quarter due to improving rig activity in the market.
E&P waste revenues in other markets declined $1.5 million or 31%, principally due to the
temporary loss of a key customer relationship in the Canadian market and the effects of redirecting
resources and management focus for our Wyoming and Canadian operations from revenue generating
activities to start up activities related to development of the new water treatment business.
Operating Income
Waste disposal operating income declined $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 on a $1.9
million decline in revenues, compared to the third quarter of 2004. The decline in operating
income also reflects the impact of start-up costs for the water treatment operation absorbed in the
segment during the quarter.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense increased $358,000 to approximately $2.5 million in the
third quarter of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. General and administrative expenses as
a percentage of revenues were 1.8% in the third quarter of 2005, compared to 1.9% in the third
quarter of 2004.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains
Net foreign currency gains totaled $352,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to losses of
$76,000 in the third quarter of 2004. These gains were primarily associated with strengthening of
the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and the associated impact on short-term intercompany
payable balances of our Canadian operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased approximately $362,000 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to
the third quarter of 2004. This increase was principally due to an increase in average outstanding
debt for the period. The increase in debt outstanding includes a $5.3 million increase related to
the consolidation of our mat manufacturing operations as a result of our purchase of the remaining
51% interest in these operations in the second
29
quarter of 2005 and a $4.2 million increase related to the assumption of a lease in January
2005 from a joint venture which supplied a portion of our wooden mats. The remainder of the
increase is related to funding of working capital in our Mediterranean operations and funding of a
portion of 2005 capital expenditures, including expenditures related to NEWS.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million,
reflecting an income tax rate of 23.5%. For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we recorded an
income tax provision of $589,000, reflecting an income tax rate of 38.0%. The lower effective rate
in the third quarter of 2005 reflects the impact of favorable changes in estimates principally for
certain foreign tax reserves due to favorable results of tax audits in a foreign jurisdiction.

The average number of rigs we serviced in the U.S. market increased by 31%, from 154 in the
first nine months of 2004 to 201 in the first nine months of 2005. Our average annual revenue per
rig in the U.S. market increased by 13%, from approximately $1,362,000 in the first nine months of
2004 to approximately $1,534,000 million in the first nine months of 2005.
Despite the level of tropical storm activity in the period, revenues in our primary Gulf Coast
market for the first nine months of 2005 were 55% higher than in the prior year due to a
combination of increased market share and improved pricing. In the Gulf Coast market we serviced
an average of 83 rigs in the first nine months of 2005, compared to 55 in the first nine months of
2004, an increase of 51%. The average number of rigs operating in this region increased 18%, from
422 rigs for the first nine months of 2004 to 497 for the first nine months of 2005. The
difference between the increase in the number of rigs we serviced in this region and the number of
rigs active in the region reflects our increased market penetration.
30
Revenues in the U.S. Central region for the first nine months of 2005 were 31% higher than in
the prior year on higher pricing and increased market share. In the U.S. Central region we
serviced an average of 118 rigs in the first nine months of 2005, compared to 98 in the first nine
months of 2004, an increase of 20%. The average number of rigs operating in this region increased
11%, from 465 rigs in the first nine months of 2004 to 514 in the first nine months of 2005. The
difference between the increase in the number of rigs we serviced in this region and the number of
rigs active in the region reflects our market penetration.
The other U.S. market for this segment is principally associated with wholesale sales of
barite and other similar products which more than doubled during the nine months ended September
30, 2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to the shortage of barite
supplies in many U.S. markets.
Revenues in the Canadian market increased 72% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to the introduction of our
New-100 oil-based drilling fluid system in the western Canadian market.
Revenues in the Mediterranean market increased 13% during the nine months ended September 30,
2005, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, principally related to increased market
penetration in the North African locations that we service.
Operating Income
Operating income for this segment increased $15.3 million in the first nine months of 2005 on
an $86.6 million increase in revenues, compared to the first nine months of 2004. The operating
margin for this segment in the first nine months of 2005 was 10.3%, compared to 7.0% in the first
nine months of 2004. The increase in operating margin was principally attributable to recent price
increases and the operating leverage of this segment. The increase in operating margin was
partially offset by increased barite costs that have not been fully recovered through price
increases to our customers during the first half of the year. More favorable transportation
arrangements have helped to stabilize barite costs. Recent price increases should recover these
costs throughout the remainder of 2005.

U.S. oilfield mat rental volume for the first nine months of 2005 totaled 9.9
million square feet at an average price of $1.11 per square foot. This compares to 12.6 million
square feet at an average price of $0.97 per square foot in the first nine months of 2004. Our
oilfield mat rental pricing should continue to increase as market conditions improve. Any further
improvement in revenue will be contingent upon increased utilization of our mat inventory, related
in part to reductions in available mat inventory, and to improvements in market activity.
Re-rental revenues increased by $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to 2004,
reflecting an increase in the number of larger installations in 2005.
Revenues from non-oilfield mat rentals, a premium margin market composed principally of
seasonal utility and infrastructure construction markets, increased $1.2 million, or 40%, to $4.2
million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to $3.0 million in the year ago period. Most of
this increase occurred in the first quarter of 2005. Third quarter market conditions were hampered
by four hurricanes affecting the southeastern region of the United States. We continue to believe
that this market has growth opportunities due to increasing demand for electricity and the aging of
our nations electrical power delivery infrastructure.
Canadian revenues for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were related to sales of wooden
mats. The increase in wooden mat sales is principally due to the unusually early break-up in
Western Canada and continued acceptance of matting systems in this market as a means to improve the
operating efficiency for our customers. Most of the increase in sales occurred in the first and
second quarters of 2005.
Total composite mat sales remained relatively stable for the first nine months of 2005, as
compared to the same period in 2004. Recent increases in the number of Bravo sales have helped to
offset declines in the more expensive DuraBase mat sales.
Operating Income
Mat and integrated services operating income improved $4.8 million in the first nine months of
2005 on a $6.2 million increase in revenues, compared to the first nine months of 2004. The
significant increase in operating income reflects the impact of increased non-oilfield rentals, the
benefit of cost reductions which began in 2004 and the impact of improvement in pricing for our
oilfield mat rental market.

E&P waste Gulf Coast revenues increased $900,000, or 3%, on a 9% increase in average revenue
per barrel offset in party by a 4% decline in waste volumes received. The average revenue per
barrel in the Gulf Coast market increased to $12.96, compared to an average of $11.90 in 2004.
During the first nine months of 2005, we received 2,267,000 barrels of E&P waste in the Gulf Coast
market, compared to 2,354,000 barrels in the comparable period in 2004. The decline in volumes
received, in spite of the increase in Gulf Coast rig activity, includes the effect of temporary
recycling process volume limitations affecting the first quarter of 2005. During this time, we
lost some market share. With the process changes in place, we are back to full capacity, except
for our Venice and Cameron facilities, which were severely impacted by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
We expect to see an increase in waste volumes received in this market, once activity returns to
pre-storm levels.
The increase in Gulf Coast revenues was more than offset by lower revenues from the Wyoming
and western Canadian market as resources and management focus were reallocated to development of
the new water treatment business.
Operating Income
Waste disposal operating income declined $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2005 on a
$2.8 million decrease in revenues, compared to the first nine months of 2004. The decline in
operating income also reflects the impact of start-up costs for the water treatment operation
absorbed in the segment during the period.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense increased $187,000 to approximately $7.2 million in the
first nine months of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues were 1.8% in the first nine months of 2005, compared to 2.2%
in the comparable period of 2004.
33
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains
Net foreign currency gains totaled $343,000 in the first nine months of 2005 compared to net
foreign currency losses of $217,000 in the first nine months of 2004. This change is primarily
associated with strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and the associated
impact on short-term intercompany payable balances of our Canadian operations.
Interest Income
Interest income totaled $250,000 in the first nine months of 2005, compared to $1.3 million in
the first nine months of 2004. During the second quarter of 2004 we collected the entire balance
owed on a note receivable resulting from the 1996 sale of a former shipyard operation. The payment
included $823,000 of previously unaccrued interest related to the note receivable, which is
included in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We had ceased accrual on
the note receivable in January 2003 due to the financial condition of the operator.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased approximately $1.5 million for the first nine months of 2005
compared to the first nine months of 2004. This increase was principally due to an increase in
average outstanding debt and a 24 basis point increase in average interest rates due to the
continued increase in variable rates during 2004 and 2005. The increase in debt outstanding
includes a $5.3 million increase related to the consolidation of our mat manufacturing operations
as a result of our purchase of the remaining 51% interest in these operations in the second quarter
of 2005 and a $4.2 million increase related to the assumption of a lease in January 2005 from a
joint venture which supplied a portion of our wooden mats. The remainder of the increase is
related to funding of working capital in our Mediterranean operations and funding of a portion of
2005 capital expenditures, including expenditures related to NEWS.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded an income tax provision of $7.3
million, reflecting an income tax rate of 32.4%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we
recorded an income tax provision of $2.6 million, reflecting an income tax rate of 38.0%. The lower
effective rate in the third quarter of 2005 reflects the impact of favorable changes in estimates
principally for certain foreign tax reserves due to favorable results of tax audits in a foreign
jurisdiction.

During the first nine months of 2005, our working capital position increased by $14.0 million.
Net trade accounts receivable increased $32.0 million as of September 30, 2005, as compared to
December 31, 2004. Annualized revenues as of the third quarter of 2005 were $557 million, as
compared to $455 million as of the fourth quarter of 2004. For the quarter ended September 30,
2005, days sales in receivables increased by 6 days to 87 days, from 81 days in the fourth quarter
of 2004. The increase in receivable days is considered temporary and we believe is primarily due
to disruptions in mail services related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
We anticipate that our working capital requirements for the remainder of 2005 and 2006 will
increase with the anticipated growth in revenue. Some of the increase in working capital
requirements should be offset by our continued focus on improving our collection cycle. However,
we have the ability to supplement our operating cash flows with borrowings under our credit
facility to fund the expected increase in working capital. We believe we have adequate capacity
under our credit facility to meet these anticipated working capital needs.
Cash generated from operations during the first nine months of 2005 totaled $18.8 million.
This cash, along with increased borrowings of $5.4 million and proceeds from option exercises of
$4.9 million, was used principally to fund net capital expenditures and investments of $25.2
million. Capital expenditures within our established business segments totaled $18.0 million,
compared to $19.0 million in depreciation and amortization. We also invested $7.3 million in the
first nine months of 2005 for acquisition of the first two water treatment systems and construction
of related facilities. We anticipate that, except for acquisition costs of the water treatment

The Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest at the rate of 8 5/8%, require semi-annual
interest payments and mature on December 15, 2007.
On February 25, 2004, we converted our bank credit facility into an asset-based lending
facility (the Credit Facility) that is secured by substantially all of our domestic assets and
the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility matures on February 25, 2007. Under
the Credit Facility, we can borrow up to $15 million in term debt and $70 million in revolving
debt, for a total of $85 million. At September 30, 2005, $9.6 million was outstanding under the
term portion of the Credit Facility. Eligibility under the revolving portion of the Credit
Facility is based on a percentage of our eligible consolidated accounts receivable and inventory,
as defined in the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2005, the maximum amount we could borrow under
the revolving portion of the Credit Facility was $70.0 million. At September 30, 2005, $13.9
million in letters of credit were issued and outstanding and $33.1 million was outstanding under
the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, leaving $23.0 million of availability at that date.
The Credit Facility bears interest at either a specified prime rate (6.75% at September 30, 2005),
or the three-month LIBOR rate (4.02% at September 30, 2005), in each case plus a spread determined
quarterly based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rates on the
outstanding balances under the credit facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 were 6.4% and 4.4%, respectively. The weighted average interest rates on the outstanding
balances under the credit facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were
6.3% and 4.7%, respectively.
The Barite Facilities Financing is a $15 million term loan facility that bears interest at
one-month LIBOR plus 3.75% (7.4% at September 30, 2005) payable monthly, and matures August 1,
2009. Principal payments are required monthly based on an amortization period of 12 years, with a
balloon payment at the maturity date. The Barite Facilities Financing is collateralized by our four
barite facilities. At September 30, 2005, $13.5 million was outstanding under this agreement.
36
The Credit Facility and the Barite Facilities Financing contain a fixed charge coverage ratio
covenant and a tangible net worth covenant. As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with
the covenants contained in these facilities. The Notes do not contain any financial covenants;
however, if we do not meet the financial covenants of the Credit Facility and are unable to obtain
an amendment from the banks, we would be in default of the Credit Facility which would cause the
Notes to be in default and immediately due. The Notes and the Credit Facility also contain
covenants that significantly limit the payment of dividends on our common stock.
In June 2005 we entered into a secured financing facility which provides $8 million in
financing for wooden mat additions. At September 30, 2005, we had borrowed $4.5 million under the
facility. Principal payments totaling approximately $97,000 are required monthly for 48 months.
Interest based on one-month LIBOR plus 3.45% is also payable monthly.
Ava, S.p.A (Ava), our European drilling fluids subsidiary maintains its own credit
arrangements, consisting primarily of lines of credit with several banks, with the lines renewed on
an annual basis. Advances under these credit arrangements are typically based on a percentage of
Avas accounts receivable or firm contracts with certain customers. The weighted average interest
rate under these arrangements was approximately 6% at September 30, 2005. As of September 30,
2005, Ava had a total of $10.8 million outstanding under these facilities. We do not provide a
corporate guaranty of Avas debt.
At December 31, 2004, we had issued a guarantee for certain lease obligations of a joint
venture which supplied a portion of our wooden mats on a day rate leasing basis (MOCTX). The
amount of this guarantee as of December 31, 2004 was $4.2 million. In January 2005, MOCTX was
dissolved and we took possession of the underlying assets and assumed the obligations under the
leases. We recorded these leases as capital leases in accordance with FAS 13. At September 30,
2005, $2.3 million was outstanding under these capital leases.
On April 18, 2005, we acquired OLS Consulting Services, Inc. (OLS) in exchange for a net
cash payment of $840,000. We also incurred direct acquisition costs of approximately $57,000. The
principal assets of OLS included patents licensed to The Loma Company, LLC (LOMA), the
manufacturer or our composite mats, for use in the manufacture of composite mats, a note receivable
from LOMA and OLS 51% membership interest in LOMA. As a result of the acquisition of OLS, through
two of our subsidiaries, we also own 100% of LOMA and have consolidated the balance sheet and
results of operations of LOMA with our financial statements. The effect on our consolidated
balance sheet was as follows (in thousands):

In consolidation, the payable to Newpark was eliminated primarily against other assets.
At September 30, 2005, we had issued a $5.3 million guarantee of certain debt obligations of
LOMA supported by a letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility. These underlying debt
obligations of LOMA require monthly escrow payments of principal of $147,000, interest and letter
of credit fees payable monthly based on a variable rate, which approximated 6.5% at September 30,
2005, and mature in December 2008. Beginning in September 2004 and during the course of the LOMA
bankruptcy proceedings, we made debt service payments on behalf of LOMA in connection with our
guarantee that totaled approximately $2.0 million through the date of the acquisition and are
included in the intercompany liability balance noted above. Since our guarantee is secured by a
letter of credit and declines with each payment, availability under our Credit Facility has not
been impacted by debt service payments made to date and will not be impacted by future payments. We
are presently working with the Credit Facility lenders to refinance LOMAs debt obligations and
expect this refinancing to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2005.
With respect to additional off-balance sheet liabilities, we lease most of our office and
warehouse space, rolling stock and certain pieces of operating equipment under operating leases.
Except as described in the preceding paragraphs, we are not aware of any material
expenditures, significant balloon payments or other payments on long-term obligations or any other
demands or commitments, including off-balance sheet items to be incurred within the next 12 months.
Inflation has not materially impacted our revenues or income.
Critical Accounting Policies.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles, which requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that
affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments related to
uncollectible accounts and notes receivable, inventory, customer returns, impairments of long-lived
assets, including goodwill and other intangibles and our valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we
believe to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from our current estimates and those differences may be
material.
For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our
38
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our critical accounting
policies have not changed materially since December 31, 2004.
New Accounting Standards.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, (FAS 123(R)) which is a revision of FAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. FAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows.
Generally, the approach in FAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. However,
FAS 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is
no longer an alternative. FAS 123(R) permits adoption of its requirements using one of two
methods: (1) a modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning
with the effective date of FAS 123(R) (a) based on the requirement of FAS 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123
for all awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the
effective date; and (2) a modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the
modified prospective method previously described, but also permits restatement of prior periods
based on the amounts previously reported in pro forma disclosures under FAS 123. We currently plan
to adopt FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method and to continue using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission announced amended compliance dates for FAS 123(R) and the new
rules now require that we adopt FAS 123(R) starting with our first quarter of our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2006.
As permitted by FAS 123, we currently account for stock-based compensation using Accounting
Principles Board (APB) 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no
compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 123(R) may have a
material impact on our results of operations. However, we cannot predict the ultimate impact of
adoption of FAS 123(R) at this time because the impact will depend on levels of share-based
payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted FAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, would have approximated the impact
of FAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 3
to our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued FAS 151, Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). FAS 151 requires that these items be recognized as
current-period charges regardless of whether they meet a criterion of so abnormal. FAS 151 is
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We have
not yet determined the impact that adoption of FAS 151 will have on Newparks financial results.
39
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency
rates. We do not believe that we have a material exposure to market risk.
Historically, we have not entered into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage
or reduce market risk or for speculative purposes. However, during the quarter ended March 31,
2005, we did enter into a foreign currency forward contract arrangement. A discussion of our
primary market risk exposure in financial instruments and the foreign currency forward contract are
discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
Our policy historically has been to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations by using a
combination of fixed and variable-rate debt. At September 30, 2005, we had total debt outstanding
of $213.7 million, of which $125 million, or 58%, is our Senior Subordinated Notes (the Notes),
which bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.625%. The remaining $88.7 million of debt outstanding at
September 30, 2005 bears interest at a floating rate. At September 30, 2005, the weighted average
interest rate under our floating-rate debt was approximately 6.4%. A 200 basis point increase in
market interest rates during 2005 would cause our annual interest expense to increase approximately
$1.1 million, net of taxes, resulting in a $0.01 per diluted share reduction in annual earnings.
The Notes mature on December 15, 2007. There are no scheduled principal payments under the
Notes prior to the maturity date. However, all or some of the Notes may be redeemed at a premium
after December 15, 2002. We have no current plans to repay the Notes ahead of their scheduled
maturity.
Foreign Currency
Our principal foreign operations are conducted in Canada and in areas surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea. We have foreign currency exchange risks associated with these operations, which
are principally conducted in the functional currency of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Historically, we have not used off-balance sheet financial hedging instruments to manage foreign
currency risks when we have entered into transactions denominated in a currency other than our
local currencies, because the dollar amount of these transactions has not warranted our using
hedging instruments. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, our Canadian subsidiary
committed to purchase approximately $2.0 million of barite from one of our U.S. subsidiaries and we
entered into a foreign currency forward contract arrangement to reduce the exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations related to this commitment. The forward contract requires that the Canadian
subsidiary purchase approximately $2.0 million U.S. dollars at a contracted exchange rate of 1.2496
over a two year period. At September 30, 2005, the fair value of this forward contract represents
a loss of approximately $108,000.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we reported foreign currency gains
of $352,000 and $344,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
we reported foreign currency losses of $76,000 and $217,000, respectively. These transactional
losses were primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including intercompany advances which
are deemed to be short-term in nature.
40
We estimate that a hypothetical 10% movement of all
applicable foreign currency exchange rates would affect annual earnings by approximately $500,000,
due to the revaluing of these monetary assets and intercompany balances.
Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the stockholders equity section of our balance
sheet. Included in comprehensive income are translation gains of $1.9 million and $1.7 million for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Included in
comprehensive income are translation losses of $445,000 and $788,000 for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, net assets of foreign
subsidiaries included in our consolidated balance sheet totaled $38.4 million. We estimate that a
hypothetical 10% movement of all applicable foreign currency exchange rates would affect other
comprehensive income by approximately $3.8 million.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and
variable rate debt approximated book value at September 30, 2005. The fair value of the 8.625%
Notes totaled $123.9 million at September 30, 2005. The fair value of the Notes has been estimated
based on quotes from the lead broker.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management,
have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (1) are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to Newpark (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
disclosed in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) are adequate
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or furnished by us
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed and summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Security and Exchange
Commission. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, our management recognized that any control or procedure, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and
procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives and, based
on the evaluation described above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls during our most recently
41
completed
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal controls over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT 32.1
Certification Pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
In connection with the Quarterly Report of Newpark Resources, Inc. (the Company) on Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on the date hereof (the Report), I, James D. Cole, Chief Executive Officer (principal executive
officer) of the Company, certify, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, as adopted pursuant to
Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, that:

|
The Report fully complies with the requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
