Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenues. Dril-Quips revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of offshore drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance for installation of the Companys products, reconditioning services and rental of running tools for installation and retrieval of the Companys products. In 2011, the Company derived 85% of its revenues from the sale of its products and 15% of its revenues from services compared to 86% and 14% in 2010 and 84% and 16% in 2009, respectively. Service revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory services during installation and rental of running tools. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 69%, 61% and 66% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Substantially all of the Companys domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 31%, 39% and 34%, respectively, of the Companys total revenues for 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Product revenues increased by approximately $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of increased revenues of $53.1 million in subsea equipment and $0.5 million in surface equipment, partially offset by a $28.1 million decrease in offshore rig equipment.The decrease in offshore rig equipment revenue was primarily due to the reduction in the number of long-term projects with offshore rig equipment components. Product revenues increased in the Eastern Hemisphere by $33.3 million and $0.9 million in Asia-Pacific, partially offset by a decrease in the Western Hemisphere of $8.7 million. Service revenues increased by approximately $9.5 million resulting from increased service revenues in the Eastern Hemisphere of $2.9 million, $5.6 million in Asia-Pacific and $1.0 million in the Western Hemisphere. The majority of the increases in service revenues related to increased technical advisory services and the rental of running and installation tools, slightly offset by decreases in reconditioning services.
