For the quarter, the company reported revenues of $154,782,000 compared to $107,130,000 a year ago. Loss before income taxes was $18,401,000 compared to $19,074,000 a year ago. Loss from operations was $8,803,000 compared to $12,729,000 a year ago. Net loss was $18,152,000 or $0.23 per basic and diluted share compared to $20,209,000 or $0.26 per basic and diluted share a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $16,896,000 compared to $12,879,000 a year ago. Adjusted net loss was $14,839,000 or $0.19 per diluted share compared to $16,217,000 or $0.21 per diluted share a year ago. The increase in revenues from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to increased demand and pricing in wireline and well servicing, as well as increased drilling rig utilization in Colombia. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from the year-earlier quarter was due to higher demand for all of service offerings as the market steadily improved with increasing commodity prices throughout 2017 and 2018, which was partially offset by the increased expense related to phantom stock unit awards. Cash, capital expenditures in the second quarter were $19.8 million.

For the six months, the company reported revenues were $299,260,000 compared to $202,887,000 a year ago. Loss before income taxes was $28,252,000 compared to $44,150,000 a year ago.
