DRIL-QUIP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR 4^th QUARTER & YEAR END 2014

AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

HOUSTON, February 27, 2015 — Dril-Quip, Inc. (NYSE: DRQ) today announced net income of $59.1 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, versus net income of $47.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013. The fourth quarter 2014 results were favorably impacted by an after-tax foreign exchange gain of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to an after-tax foreign exchange loss of $2.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2013. Total revenues were $254.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to $232.5 million for the same period in 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net income was $208.7 million, or $5.19 per diluted share, compared with net income of $169.8 million, or $4.16 per diluted share, for 2013. The results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 were favorably impacted by an after-tax foreign exchange gain of $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, as compared to an after-tax foreign exchange loss of $4.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, during the year ended December 31, 2013. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $931.0 million, compared to $872.4 million for the same period in 2013.

Blake DeBerry, Dril-Quip’s President and CEO, stated, “I am extremely proud of the performance of our employees during 2014. Despite significant headwinds, we managed to deliver earnings per share results in line with our beginning of the year expectations and we were able to finish the year with a backlog of approximately $1.2 billion, the same as our year end 2013 backlog.

“Along with our entire industry, we will face numerous challenges throughout 2015. Falling oil prices have led to declining capital expenditure budgets for our customers and to uncertainties related to our bookings and our book-and-ship business for the year. These factors, combined with customer requests for pricing discounts, are expected to have a negative impact on both our revenue and gross margins. Accordingly, we expect our earning per diluted share for 2015 to approximate $4.60 to $4.80 and our first quarter earnings per diluted share to approximate $1.10 to $1.20.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase program has no set expiration date. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or plans, instructions or contracts established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The manner, timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. Any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled.

The Company completed a previously authorized stock repurchase program of $100 million in December 2014, under which the Company repurchased 639,550 shares of its common stock for $49.8 million in the 4th quarter of 2014 and 512,053 shares of its common stock for $50.2 million in the 3rd quarter of 2014.
