Logan International Inc. (TSX:LII) ("Logan" or the "Company") today announced
the financial results for its first quarter of 2013. Revenues for the quarter
were $49.2 million as compared to revenues of $40.9 for the last year's first
quarter. Net earnings were $5.2 million, or $ 0.16 per diluted share, as
compared to $2.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in last year's first
quarter. Modified EBITDA, as defined in the financial table below, increased to
$12.1 million in this year's first quarter from $8.5 million in last year's
first quarter.


The Company completed the acquisition of Xtend Energy Services Inc. ("Xtend")
effective March 1, 2012. Therefore, the first quarter report for 2012 includes
Xtend's operating results from the acquisition date.


Gerald Hage, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with the Company's
quarterly financial results. We are especially pleased with the increase in
Modified EBITDA because this is the metric we use most often to evaluate our
operating performance. In addition, each of our operating units contributed to
the positive comparison, except Logan Completion Systems ("LCS"). Despite a
slight industry slowing, we increased both revenues and Modified EBITDA. Logan
Oil Tools' increase in sales was produced, in part, by the increase in plant
capacity which was completed in 2012. Xtend improved its operating results as a
result of increased U.S. rental revenues. Increased international sales to
Algeria and Russia boosted Dennis Tool's quarterly operating results. Kline
Oilfield Equipment and Scope Production Developments continued to report
consistent sales and operating profits. Finally, the slow startup of Canadian
oilfield operations caused LCS's first quarter financial results to lag last
year's; however, we expect LCS to rebound in the second quarter as sales into
China and planned projects in the U.S. and Mexico will counterbalance the
"Spring Breakup" effect in Canada."


Recent highlights include:



--  Completion of the acquisition of Sup-R-Jar drilling jar product line on
    April 17, 2013. 
--  LCS successfully completed 6 wells in China and received firm orders for
    an additional 42 wells to be completed in 2013. 
--  Logan Oil Tools increased sales and reduced delivery times as a result
    of the 2012 plant expansion.

Note: The purchase of Xtend was completed on March 1, 2012 and, accordingly,
the Company's three month period ended March 31, 2012 operating results     
included one month of Xtend.                                                
                                                                            
(1) Management calculates: (a) EBITDA as earnings before net finance cost,  
    taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and (b) Modified EBITDA
    as EBITDA before acquisition accounting adjustments, transaction fees,  
    share-based compensation payments and severance costs. Neither of these 
    measurements should be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful 
    than, "net earnings from continuing operations" or "cash flow from      
    operating activities" as determined in accordance with International    
    Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as an indicator of the Company's 
    financial performance. EBITDA and Modified EBITDA do not have           
    standardized definitions as prescribed by IFRS; therefore, the Company's
    presentation of these measurements may not conform to similar           
    presentations by other companies. Management calculates EBITDA and      
    Modified EBITDA each period and evaluates the Company's operating       
    performance based on these measurements. Management believes that       
    Modified EBITDA, which eliminates significant non-cash or non-recurring 
    items of revenue or cost, more accurately presents the results of the   
    Company's ongoing operations and its ability to generate the cash       
    required to fund or finance future growth, acquisitions and capital     
    investments. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Modified EBITDA with net    
    earnings for each period follows.

EBITDA and Modified EBITDA are provided as measures of the Company's        
operating performance without regard to financing decisions, share-based    
compensation payments, age and cost of equipment used and income tax        
impacts, all of which are factors that are not controlled at the operating  
management level. The acquisition accounting adjustments reverse the effect 
of the increase or step-up in cost basis of inventories acquired in a       
business combination. The transaction fees include the professional and     
other fees incurred in connection with acquisitions in 2012 and 2013. The   
share-based compensation payments relate to expense recognized from stock   
appreciation rights as well as the Company's stock option and restricted    
share unit plans.                                                           
                                                                            
(2) Includes bank and other borrowed debt and capital leases.
