MITCHAM INDUSTRIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
HUNTSVILLE, Texas – December 15, 2004 – Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) today reported revenue of $4.7 million for its third quarter ended October 31, 2004, as compared to revenue of $7.3 million in the third quarter last year. For the quarter, the Company recorded a net loss of $823,000, or $(0.09) per share, as compared to net income of $105,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.
“While our third quarter loss is disappointing, our core leasing business was in line with last year and we ordered an additional 3,500 channels and associated peripheral seismic equipment from Sercel to satisfy increased demand for the upcoming winter months,” said Billy F. Mitcham, Jr., President and CEO of Mitcham Industries. “Our fourth and first quarters are seasonally our strongest periods and thus far in the fourth quarter we are pleased with the overall level of demand for our equipment and the general tone of the market worldwide.”
“In our business, the timing of equipment sales is difficult to predict,” said Mitcham. “Quarter-over-quarter, our equipment sales comparison reflected an unusually large sale in last year’s third quarter,” Mitcham said. “At quarter’s end, our financial position is strong with working capital increasing to $14.4 million from $7.4 million at the beginning of this fiscal year.”
For the nine months ended October 31, 2004, the Company recorded net income of $702,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss (inclusive of discontinued operations) of $5.5 million, or $(0.63) per share, for the prior year period. Revenues totaled $19.3 million as compared to $17.1 million for the comparable nine-month period in the prior year.
Mitcham Industries, Inc., a geophysical equipment supplier, offers for lease or sale, new and “experienced” seismic equipment to the oil and gas industry, seismic contractors, environmental agencies, government agencies and universities. Headquartered in Texas, with sales and services offices in Calgary, Canada, Brisbane, Australia and associates throughout Europe, South America and Asia, Mitcham Industries conducts operations on a global scale and is the largest independent exploration equipment lessor in the industry.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included herein, including statements regarding potential future demand for the Company’s products and services, the Company’s future financial position and results of operations, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include a prolonged and gradual recovery, or no full recovery, of the energy services sector of a depressed oil and gas industry, and thereafter, the inherent volatility of oil and gas prices and the related volatility of demand for the Company’s services; loss of significant customers; significant defaults by customers on amounts due to the Company; international economic and political instability; dependence upon additional lease contracts; the risk of technological obsolescence of the Company’s lease fleet; vulnerability of seismic activity and demand to weather conditions and seasonality of operating results; dependence upon few suppliers; and other factors which are disclosed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, available from the Company without charge.
