Page 9 of 20

2012 Canadian revenue decreased by 11% compared to 2011. Revenue per job increased by only 1% as 2012 annual pricing, job size, and sales mix were largely consistent with 2011. The job count decreased by 12% as increases in available equipment were more than offset by reductions in Canadian activity levels. On an annual basis, 2012 Canadian rig count was down 13% compared to 2011. As a percentage of revenue, materials and operating expenses increased to 70.6% compared to 61.6% due to reduced operating leverage on our fixed cost structure, pricing declines and higher employee costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million due to declines in employee profit sharing and share based expenses.

2012 U.S. revenue increased by 8% compared to 2011. Job count increased by 40% as increased equipment availability led to substantial increases for our fracturing, cementing and coiled tubing service lines. Revenue per job decreased by 23% due to a 14% decrease in pricing, a reduction in fracturing revenue relative to total revenue, and lower fracturing job sizes due to increased work performed on oil wells. As a percentage of revenue, 2012 materials and operating expenses increase to 100.7% compared to 72.5% in 2011. A reduction in pricing, increased guar costs, and increased logistics, infrastructure and employee expenses contributed to the reduced margins. General and administrative costs increased by $7.3 million due to higher travel, insurance, and employee costs.
