Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance,
including our business strategy and product development plans, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of changes in oil and natural gas prices and worldwide
and domestic economic conditions on drilling activity and demand for and pricing of Hydrils products, the risks associated with fixed-price contracts, competition from steel mills, limitations on the availability of pipe for threading, the
impact of imports of tubular goods and of international and domestic trade laws, factors that could cause our results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter, the loss of or change to distribution methods of premium connections in the U.S. and
Canada, the consolidation of end-users, intense competition in our industry, the risks associated with international operations, the ability to attract and retain skilled labor and Hydrils ability to successfully develop new technologies and
products and maintain and increase its market share. Please read RISK FACTORS in Item 1A of Part II of this report for more information about many of these risks and uncertainties. These factors may cause our companys or our
industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology
such as may, will, should, could, expects, intends, plans, anticipated, believes, estimated, potential, or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

These statements are only projections, based on anticipated industry activity.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Hydril Company

Part I, Item 1: Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hydril Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates- The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Presentation- The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures have been prepared by the Company in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in all material respects of
the financial position and results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2005 consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.

Investments The Company invests excess cash in various securities and money market
mutual funds rated as the highest quality by a nationally recognized rating agency.

The Company had investment securities classified as
available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. At June 30, 2006 the Company
held no available-for-sale securities and at December 31, 2005, the Company held $100,525,000 in available-for-sale securities. The fair value of these securities as of December 31, 2005 approximated the carrying
value. The realized and unrealized gains and losses related to these available-for-sale investments were immaterial to the results of operations.

Additionally, the Company has investments classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in accordance with SFAS 115. Management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to
maturity. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company held $12,311,000 and $15,946,000, respectively of corporate investment securities classified as held-to-maturity. Contractual maturities of these
securities at June 30, 2006 include $7,557,000 maturing within one year and $4,754,000 maturing within two to five years.

Note 2  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in December 2004. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the
grant date (with limited exceptions) and recognize such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite employee service period. Prior to January 1, 2006, under the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) in accounting for its stock option plans.
Accordingly, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense in its income statement for stock options, as the exercise price was equal to the market price of the Companys stock on the date of
grant. However, the Company did recognize stock-based compensation expense for its restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. Awards of restricted stock, (time-vesting) restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units made
prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, will continue to be expensed. Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

In its adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, in the case of stock option
awards made prior to January 1, 2006, stock-based compensation expense for subsequent periods includes compensation expense for all such awards not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original pro forma provisions of SFAS 123. The fair value of each such stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Under the modified prospective transition method, financial
statements for prior periods are not restated.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the income statement beginning January 1, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires
forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, when necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The impact of forfeitures on the compensation expense recognized for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006 was estimated based on historical experience. In the Companys pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. As a result of the
adoption of SFAS 123(R), the deferred compensation recorded in stockholders equity as of January 1, 2006, of $6,980,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital which reduced total paid-in capital.

Beginning January 1, 2006, stock-based compensation expense is comprised of (i) compensation expense arising from amortization of stock-based
awards made prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, as discussed above and (ii) compensation expense arising from amortization of stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Total

##### Table of Contents

stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $845,000 and $1,470,000,
respectively, net of forfeitures and net of tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, total stock-based compensation expense was $720,000 and $1,326,000, respectively, net of tax.

On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP 123(R)-3). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects
of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company has until November 2006 to make a one-time election to adopt the transition method described in FSP 123(R)-3. The Company is currently evaluating FSP 123(R)-3; however, the one-time election is not expected to affect operating income or
net income.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, total stock-based compensation expense
related to restricted stock and restricted stock units was $286,000 and $410,000, respectively, net of tax. Compensation expense relating to restricted stock and restricted stock units was included, and will continue to be included, in reported net
income, as required by accounting standards.

On June 1, 2006, the Company granted a total of 65,300 restricted stock units to
officers and key employees. A stock unit represents the right to receive a share of common stock on the date the restrictions on the unit lapse. The restrictions on restricted stock units lapse over a five year period with sixty percent of the units
vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant and twenty percent vesting on each of the fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the grant. In the event a grantee terminates employment with the Company, any restricted stock units remaining
subject to restrictions are forfeited. Restricted unit awards result in the recognition of deferred compensation. Deferred compensation is a contra-equity account with an offset to additional paid-in capital and is amortized to operating expense
over the vesting period of the award.

In addition, on June 1, 2006 the Company granted a total of 22,200 performance-based restricted
stock units to executive officers. The vesting of these awards is dependent upon whether, and the extent to which, specified performance objectives relating to Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) are attained for the three-year period
ending December 31, 2008. ROCE is the Companys average annual after-tax operating income divided by average capital employed (total assets and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt minus current liabilities).
None of these restricted stock units will vest unless the Company achieves a minimum ROCE specified by the Board of Directors for the three-year period and the ROCE achieved is equal to or greater than the average ROCE for a specified peer group of
companies. If these two minimum thresholds are met, then between twenty percent and one hundred percent of the units will vest upon completion of the three-year period, depending on the Companys ROCE relative to that of the peer group for that
period. The units will vest completely if the minimum thresholds are met and the Companys ROCE is in the top quartile of its peer group for the period. Restricted stock units settle automatically in shares of common stock on a one-for-one
basis upon vesting.

Director Deferred Share Units

On June 1, 2006, each of the Companys non-employee directors received a grant of 2,000 deferred share units, totaling 14,000 units for all non-employee directors as a group. Each deferred share unit
represents one hypothetical share of common stock. The deferred share units vest and become payable three years from the date of grant if the director remains a member of the Companys Board of Directors at such time, or earlier under specified
circumstances. Upon vesting, the deferred share units are settled in cash at the fair market value of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the underlying
stock at each reporting period.

Note 3  TREASURY STOCK

In March 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Companys common stock over a twelve month period. Through June 30, 2006, the Company had
repurchased 353,325 shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25,000,000. At the beginning of the third quarter 2006, the Company entered into a prepaid share repurchase agreement with a third party financial institution. Under this
agreement, the Company advanced $25,000,000 in exchange for the delivery by the financial institution of a variable number of shares on a monthly basis during the third quarter. The number of shares ultimately repurchased under the agreement will be
based upon the volume weighted average price of the Companys shares during the quarter less a discount. Subject to market considerations, the Company may repurchase additional shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
based on its ongoing capital requirements, expected cash flows and regulatory restraints. Repurchases are expected to be funded with current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Subject to the repurchase agreement, repurchases may be
suspended at any time. All of the shares repurchased pursuant to the Board authorization through June 30, 2006, are held as treasury stock. The Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the
acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.

Note 6  CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management these matters are such that their outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

As previously disclosed, the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible
party at a waste disposal site near Houston, Texas. Based on the number of other potentially responsible parties, the total estimated site cleanup costs and its estimated share of such costs, the Company continues to believe this matter will not
materially affect its results of operation or financial condition.

##### Table of Contents

The Company has agreed to guarantee half of the total outstanding borrowings of its premium connection
Indian joint venture, an unconsolidated entity of which it owns 50%, up to a maximum of $3,070,000 by issuing irrevocable standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, the total amount of borrowings of the joint venture was $4,119,000, of
which $2,060,000 was subject to the Companys guarantee. The Company does not expect this guarantee to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 7 LETTERS OF CREDIT

The Companys
banking institutions currently issue letters of credit on the Companys behalf based on its credit worthiness. The letters of credit vary in amount with maturities ranging from June 2006 to March 2011. At June 30, 2006, there was
approximately $12,334,000 outstanding in letters of credit comprised of approximately $8,477,000 of performance bonds related to customers orders and approximately $3,070,000 of irrevocable letters of credit issued to guarantee the borrowings
of its premium connection Indian joint venture. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies.

Note 8  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has presented basic and diluted income per share (EPS) on the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period
plus the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units, less the number of treasury shares from the assumed exercise proceeds using the average market price for the Companys common stock
for each of the periods presented. When potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive, they are not included in dilutive EPS. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 23,734,236 and
23,455,850, respectively, while for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 basic weighted average shares outstanding were 23,716,039 and 23,408,931, respectively. Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 24,151,659 and 23,996,733, respectively, while for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 dilutive weighted average shares outstanding were 24,129,478 and 23,942,291, respectively.

Note 11  RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48
prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular
jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB statement No. 3. SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements
and provides guidance on the accounting and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles as well as all changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual
instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on
January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The Company adopted SFAS
123 (R) effective January 1, 2006. See additional discussion of SFAS 123 (R) in Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation.

In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs  an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs
and wasted material. Paragraph 5 of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 43, Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing, previously stated that . . . under certain circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage,
double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current-period charges . . . SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of
so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. We adopted SFAS No. 151 on January 1, 2006.
The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.

Part I, Item 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of Hydrils historical results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with Hydrils unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Hydrils Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

OVERVIEW

Hydril Company is engaged worldwide in engineering, manufacturing and marketing premium connection and pressure control products used for oil and gas drilling and production. Hydril applies premium threaded
connections to tubulars owned by its customers and purchases pipe in certain international markets for threading and resale. Our premium connections are used in drilling environments where extreme pressure, temperature, corrosion and mechanical
stress are encountered, as well as in environmentally sensitive drilling. These harsh drilling conditions are typical for deep-formation, deepwater and horizontal or extended reach wells. Our pressure control products are primarily safety devices
that control and contain fluid and gas pressure during drilling, completion and maintenance of oil and gas wells in these same environments. We also provide aftermarket replacement parts, repair and field services for our installed base of pressure
control equipment. These products and services are required on a recurring basis because of the impact on original equipment from the extreme conditions in which pressure control products are used.

Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent on the activity levels in the oil and gas industry and our customers
willingness to spend capital on the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves. The level of these capital expenditures is highly sensitive to current and expected oil and gas prices, which have historically been categorized by significant
volatility. Generally, increasing oil and gas prices, usually referred to as commodity prices, result in increased oil and gas exploration and production, which translates into greater demand for oilfield products and services.
Conversely, falling commodity prices generally result in reduced demand for oilfield products and services. Historically, changes in budgets and activity levels by oil and gas exploration and production companies have lagged significant movements in
commodity prices.

Premium Connections

Premium connections join sections of well casing, production tubing and drill pipe used in various stages of drilling and production. Our premium connection products are marketed primarily to exploration and production company operators,
who are the end-users. The premium connection market is driven by the level of worldwide drilling activity, in particular by the number of rigs drilling at target depths greater than 15,000 feet and the number of rigs drilling offshore. These depths
require substantially more premium connections than shallower wells. However, the rate of consumption varies widely among markets based on specific geological formations, customer history and preference, and available alternatives.

In North America, the primary indicators of the premium connection market are the number of rigs drilling
to greater than 15,000 feet and the number of rigs drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, while the total international rig count is a general indicator of the premium connection market, spending on exploration and production is typically
spread unevenly between various regions and can be subject to significant volatility. There are many variables, including political and civil unrest, which may adversely impact the level of drilling activity in particular countries or regions. In
addition, our international presence is concentrated in particular geographic regions which may not always correspond to where drilling activity is heaviest. If we are affected by conditions that exist in only specific markets, our premium
connections results may differ relative to movements in the international rig count. See Part II-Item 1A-RISK FACTORS: Intense competition in our industry could result in reduced profitability and loss of market share for us
and A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry, due to a decline in oil and gas prices or other economic factors, would reduce our revenue.

The following table shows the average rig count for rigs drilling at target depths greater than 15,000 feet in the United States, the average number of
rigs under contract in the Gulf of Mexico and the average international rig count for the last five quarters:

Pressure Control

Pressure control products include a broad spectrum of equipment and parts required for outfitting new
drilling rigs and upgrading and maintaining existing rigs. We sell our pressure control products primarily to drilling contractors for use in oil and gas drilling and to a lesser

extent to exploration and production companies for oil and gas production. The main factors that affect sales of pressure control capital equipment products
are the level of construction of new drilling rigs and the rate at which existing drilling rigs are refurbished. Demand for our pressure control aftermarket replacement parts, repair and field services primarily depends upon the level of worldwide
offshore drilling activity as well as the total U.S. rig count. The following table shows the average worldwide offshore rigs under contract and the average U.S. rig count over the last five quarters:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED

JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

Revenue

Total revenue increased $50.5 million or 55%, to $142.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $91.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Our premium connection revenue
increased $29.5 million, or 49%, to $89.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $59.9 million for the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher demand for our products worldwide, including an
unusually large amount of pipe purchased by us for threading and resale in certain international markets, and higher prices for our premium connections. In North America, which was responsible for about half of the increase in threading revenue,
higher levels of deep formation drilling activity and higher pricing resulted in higher revenue. Pressure control revenue increased $21.0 million, or 66%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $31.7 million for
the same period in 2005. Pressure control capital equipment revenue increased 143% as higher levels of new and refurbished rig construction in the industry increased demand for the type of equipment we manufacture. Approximately 75% of the revenue
increase was for projects, which generally involve over $1 million in revenue and require over six months to complete, and are accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis. Aftermarket pressure control revenue increased 21% over the prior
year period primarily due to higher worldwide offshore and U.S. rig count activity, which increased the consumption of spare parts used in the drilling process.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $14.4 million to $54.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $40.5 million for the prior year period. Gross profit for our premium connection segment increased 38% over the prior year
quarter due primarily to higher demand for our products worldwide which led to higher plant utilization and higher prices. Gross profit for our pressure control segment increased 32% from the prior year period due primarily to higher plant
production volumes and higher demand and prices for aftermarket products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $18.7 million compared to $15.5 million for the prior year
quarter. The increase over the prior year quarter was primarily due to the inclusion of stock option expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123(R) (see further discussion of SFAS 123(R) under Recent Accounting Pronouncements) and other
stock-based compensation expense, increased agent commissions associated with higher international sales, higher legal expenses, and higher engineering expenses to support increased levels of product testing and capital equipment
sales. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses were 13% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 17% for the prior year quarter.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $11.2 million to $36.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to $25.0 million for the same period in 2005. Operating income for our premium connection segment increased $8.7 million to $28.6 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $19.9 million for the second quarter of
2005. Operating income for our pressure control segment increased $4.0 million to $13.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 2005. Corporate and administrative expenses were $5.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4.5 million for the prior year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
2005. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased to 34.4% as compared to 33.1% in the same period in 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

Revenue

Total revenue increased $85.8 million or 50%, to $256.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $170.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. Our premium

connection revenue increased $52.6 million, or 48%, to $163.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $110.4 million for the prior
year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher demand for our products, including an unusually large amount of pipe purchased by us for threading and resale in certain international markets and in North America due to higher levels of
deep formation drilling activity. Pressure control revenue increased $33.2 million, or 55%, to $93.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $60.0 million for the same period in 2005. Pressure control capital
equipment revenue increased 103% primarily due to improved industry fundamentals resulting in increased drilling activity and higher demand for our products. Approximately 75% of the revenue increase was for projects, which generally involve over
$1 million in revenue and require over six months to complete, and are accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis. Aftermarket pressure control revenue increased 24% primarily due to higher worldwide offshore and U.S. total rig counts,
resulting in increases in the consumption of spare parts in the drilling process.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $28.9 million to $104.8 million for the first half of 2006 compared to $75.9 million for the prior year period. Gross profit
for our premium connection segment increased 43% over the first half of 2005 due primarily to higher demand for our products worldwide which led to higher plant utilization and higher pricing levels in select international markets. Gross profit for
our pressure control segment increased 30% from the prior year due primarily to higher plant production volumes and higher demand and prices for aftermarket products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 were $35.7 million compared to $28.8 million for the prior year period. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to the inclusion of stock option expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123(R)
(see further discussion of SFAS 123(R) under Recent Accounting Pronouncements) and other stock-based compensation, higher agent commissions associated with higher international sales, higher engineering expenses to support increased levels of
product testing and capital equipment sales, and higher legal expenses. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses were 14% for the first half of 2006 compared to 17% for the prior year period.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $22.0
million to $69.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $47.1 million for the same period in 2005. Operating income for our premium connection segment increased $17.8 million to $56.1 million for the first half of 2006 from
$38.3 million for the first half of 2005. Operating income for our pressure control segment increased $6.6 million to $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $17.4 million for the same period in 2005.
Corporate and administrative expenses were $11.0 million for the first half of 2006 compared to $8.6 million for the prior year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 increased to 34.0% as compared to 33.4% in the same period in 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures, fund new product development, provide additional working capital and to fund the
repurchase of a portion of our common stock as discussed below. Our primary source of funds is cash flow from operations. In addition, we had available cash, cash equivalents and investments of $199.4 million at June 30, 2006. At June 30,
2006, we had no outstanding debt and $12.3 million of outstanding letters of credit which were comprised primarily of performance bonds related to customer orders in our backlog.

In March 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Companys common stock over a twelve
month period. Through June 30, 2006, the Company had repurchased 353,325 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a prepaid share repurchase agreement with
a third party financial institution. Under this agreement, the Company advanced $25.0 million in exchange for the delivery by the financial institution of a variable number of shares on a monthly basis during the third quarter. The number of shares
ultimately repurchased under the agreement will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the Companys shares during the quarter less a discount. Subject to market considerations, the Company may repurchase additional shares in the
open market or in privately negotiated transactions based on its ongoing capital requirements, expected cash flows and regulatory restraints. Repurchases are expected to be funded with current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Subject to the repurchase agreement, repurchases may be suspended at any time. All of the shares repurchased pursuant to the Board authorization through June 30, 2006, are held as treasury stock. We believe that cash from operations and
existing cash, cash equivalents and investment balances will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements, including working capital needs, contractual obligations and planned capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months. In the
longer term, if we were to need additional cash, we anticipate that we could enter into credit facilities and that we could also raise additional funds through issuing debt or equity securities.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended
June 30, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $50.1 million which primarily resulted from earnings and contractual cash payments received from customers on long-term capital equipment projects, and was partially offset by
slightly higher working capital requirements driven by higher demand in both of our segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash provided by operating activities was $35.6 million primarily due to earnings and contractual cash
payments received on long-term capital equipment projects, which was partially offset by higher working capital requirements.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $89.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net cash used of $34.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Cash provided by
investing activities for the first six months of 2006 was primarily from net proceeds from marketable securities (both held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments) of $104.2 million which was slightly offset by capital spending of
$14.3 million. The investment of cash in 2005 included $21.3 million for net investments in marketable securities, capital spending of $6.8 million and the purchase of a pressure control product line for $3.6 million.

Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $14.3 million was principally for expenditures to build a new facility for our premium
connection manufacturing operations in Scotland, capacity additions at our pressure control plant in Houston, equipment for our new pressure control manufacturing plant in Mexico, and for expansion of our premium connection manufacturing capacity in
Mexico. Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $6.8 million included $5.6 million for our premium connection segment and $1.0 million for our pressure control segment, in both cases primarily to support manufacturing
operations, and $0.2 million for general corporate purposes.

If current industry conditions continue, we expect our total 2006 capital
expenditures to be approximately $30 to $35 million, which includes a level of spending of approximately $8 to $10 million necessary to maintain our existing operations. The remaining expenditures are anticipated to be used to continue to gradually
increase our premium connection manufacturing capacity, acquire additional equipment for our new pressure control plant under construction in Mexico, fund business investments in emerging international markets and for additional manufacturing
capacity at our Houston pressure control plant.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 which is primarily due to the payment of $21.5 million for the repurchase of shares of the Companys
common stock which was partially offset by $2.6 million in net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $1.5 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. An additional $3.5 million was reflected in accrued
liabilities as of June 30, 2006 and subsequently disbursed for shares repurchased during the second quarter. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $4.5 million, the majority of which was
due to net proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), in accordance with previous accounting
standards, we presented all tax benefits for deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options and disqualifying dispositions under operating cash flow on our consolidated statement of cash flows. Beginning in 2006, in accordance with the
requirements of SFAS 123(R), we are reporting the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense under financing activities.

Letters of Credit

The Companys banking institutions currently issue letters of credit on the Companys behalf based on its credit worthiness. At June 30, 2006, there was approximately $12.3 million outstanding in
letters of credit, which included $8.5 million of performance bonds related to customer orders in our backlog. In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee half of the total outstanding borrowings of our premium connection Indian joint
venture, an unconsolidated entity of which we own 50%, up to a maximum of approximately $3.1 million by issuing irrevocable standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, the total amount of borrowings of the joint venture was
approximately $4.1 million, of which $2.1 million was subject to the Companys guarantee. The Company does not expect this guarantee to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Backlog

The pressure control capital equipment
backlog, which includes long-term projects and other capital equipment orders, was $266.4 million at June 30, 2006, $156.7 million at December 31, 2005 and $47.3 million at June 30, 2005. The increase in our backlog, which
occurred primarily during the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first half of 2006, was the result of new long-term capital equipment project orders received, which are attributable to a significant rise in new rig construction and refurbishment
worldwide.

Our backlog of premium connection and pressure control aftermarket parts and service is not a meaningful measure of business
prospects due to the quick turnover of such orders and the majority of such orders are cancelable at will by the purchaser without penalty.

We recognize the revenue and gross profit from pressure control long-term projects using the percentage-of-completion accounting method. As revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method, the order value in backlog is
reduced. We expect to recognize revenue from orders in our backlog at June 30, 2006 over the next three years. It is possible for orders to be cancelled; however, in the event of cancellations all costs incurred would be billable to the
customer.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We prepare our
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates in the areas we consider to be most critical
in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are described under Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCritical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48
prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular
jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in December 2004. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the
grant date (with limited exceptions) and recognize such expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite employee service period. Prior to January 1, 2006, under the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) in accounting for its stock option plans.
Accordingly, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense in its income statement for stock options, as the exercise price was equal to the market price of the Companys stock on the date of
grant. However, the Company did recognize stock-based compensation expense for its restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. Awards of restricted stock, (time-vesting) restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units made
prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, will continue to be expensed.

See Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation, in the Notes
to the Unaudited Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional stock-based compensation disclosures.

In May 2005, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
statement No. 3. SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements and provides guidance on the accounting and reporting of
accounting changes and error corrections. The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles as well as all changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific
transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a
material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs  an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. Paragraph 5 of Accounting

##### Table of Contents

Research Bulletin (ARB) 43, Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing, previously stated that . . . under certain circumstances, items such
as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current-period charges . . . SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless
of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. We adopted SFAS
No. 151 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.

Part I, Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant
changes since December 31, 2005 in the Companys exposure to market risk.

Part I, Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Hydrils Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006 and they have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Part II, Item 1A: Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the following risk factors and all other
information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2005. Any of the following risks could impair our business, financial condition and operating results.

A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry, due to a decline in oil and gas prices or other economic factors, would
reduce our revenue.

Demand for our products and services is substantially dependent on the level of capital expenditures by the oil and
gas industry for the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. In particular, demand for our premium connections and our aftermarket pressure control products and services is driven by the level of worldwide drilling
activity, especially drilling in harsh environments. A substantial or extended decline in drilling activity will adversely affect the demand for our products and services. Recent declines in the U.S. natural gas price during the second quarter of
2006 may reduce the level of drilling in the U.S. for natural gas, coupled with increasing inventories of our premium connections held by end-users and distributors, which could decrease the demand for our products. About 85% of our premium
connection revenue in the U.S. is for wells drilling for natural gas. A decline in number of these wells being drilled, due to low commodity prices, would reduce demand for our premium connections in the U.S.

Demand for our pressure control capital equipment is directly affected by the number of drilling rigs being built or refurbished. As drilling rig
utilization and day rates have improved,



31

##### Table of Contents

drilling contractors have placed orders for new rigs and for refurbishment of existing rigs. As a result, we have recently experienced a significant increase
in orders for our pressure control capital equipment. However, the industry is cyclical and should oil and gas prices decline for an extended period or there be an over-supply of rigs following new construction, drilling rig utilization and day
rates could decline. A decrease in utilization and day rates could lower demand for our pressure control capital equipment and adversely affect revenue and operating income for our pressure control segment.

Worldwide drilling activity is generally highly sensitive to oil and gas prices and can be dependent on the industrys view of future oil and gas
prices, which have been historically characterized by significant volatility. Oil and gas prices are affected by numerous factors, including:



| |  |  | the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration and production activity;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | worldwide demand for energy, which is affected by worldwide economic conditions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decreases or increases in the production of oil or gas from countries due to war or civil unrest, such as in Iraq, Nigeria or Venezuela;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of producing oil and gas;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | interest rates and the cost of capital;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | technological advances affecting hydrocarbon consumption, particularly oil and gas;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | environmental regulation;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | level of oil and gas inventories in storage;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tax policies, including windfall profit taxes on oil and gas companies, which have recently been proposed in the United States Congress;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | extended disruptions of oil and gas drilling and production, refining or pipeline operations as a result of weather-related factors, such as hurricanes or tropical storms in the
Gulf of Mexico or other natural disasters;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | policies of national governments; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | war, civil disturbances and political instability.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

We
expect prices for oil and natural gas to continue to be volatile and affect the demand and pricing of our products and services. A material decline in oil or gas prices could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, recessions and
other adverse economic conditions can also cause declines in spending levels by the oil and gas industry, and thereby decrease our revenue and materially adversely affect our business.

We may lose money on fixed price contracts, which currently constitute a significant part of our
business, and such contracts could cause our quarterly revenue and earnings to fluctuate significantly.

Almost all of our pressure
control projects, including all of our larger engineered subsea control systems projects, are performed on a fixed-price basis. This means that we are responsible for all cost overruns, other than any resulting from change orders. Our costs and any
gross profit realized on our fixed-price contracts could vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. This may occur for various reasons, including:



| |  |  | changes in cost, estimates or expected production time;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | schedule delays caused by third party suppliers and subcontractors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated cost escalations from the time the order is received to the time of delivery, which can be up to three years later;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | engineering design changes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | changes requested by customers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | unexpected changes in the availability and cost of labor and material.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The variations and the risks inherent in engineered subsea control systems projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on our projects. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract
performance can have a significant impact on our operating results for any particular fiscal quarter or year. Our significant losses in 1997 through 1999 on fixed-price contracts to provide pressure control equipment and subsea control systems for
pressure control equipment are an example of the problems we can experience with fixed-price contracts. Our backlog of pressure control capital equipment has increased significantly over the past twelve months and consists mainly of fixed price
projects to be shipped over the next three years. Accordingly, the magnitude of our exposure to possible losses on fixed price contracts has increased along with the increase in the backlog.

We may lose premium connection business to international and domestic competitors who produce their own pipe, as well as other new entrants or lose
business due to limitations on the availability of pipe for threading.

Our premium connections are applied to steel tubulars produced
by steel mills. In the United States and Canada and sometimes internationally, our premium connections are applied to steel tubulars purchased by a distributor from the steel mills. In international markets distribution is more varied. We also
purchase the tubulars from the steel mills, thread them and sell the complete product, or thread tubulars held by the steel mill, which the mill then sells, or thread tubulars owned by the end-user. In any case, the price paid by the purchaser
includes, but does not differentiate between, the costs of the steel pipe and the connection. Pricing of premium connections can be affected by steel prices, as the steel pipe is the largest component of the overall price. We have no control over
the availability or the price of the steel pipe. Prices for steel pipe have increased in recent periods due to higher worldwide demand for steel, and increased demand for oilfield tubulars, both of which in turn have contributed to a



33



---

##### Table of Contents

tight supply of tubulars for oil and gas applications. If these conditions persist and demand for pipe increases, we or our distributors could have
difficulty obtaining plain-end pipe for us to thread. If we or our distributors are not able to obtain pipe for threading to satisfy end-user demand, our business would be adversely affected.

A number of steel mills, especially internationally, are integrated steel producers, who both produce and thread steel tubulars. There are also some
steel mills which market their own premium connections in North America. Accordingly, some of the steel mills that supply the plain-end pipe that we thread also compete with our premium connections. Due to the current tight supply of steel and steel
tubulars and low levels of inventory of tubular goods for oil and gas applications in the industry generally, integrated producers may attempt to require that all or a greater portion of the pipe they produce bear their premium connections or change
distribution methods in a way that is adverse to us. Integrated steel producers also have more pricing flexibility for premium connections since they control the production of both the steel tubulars to which the connections are applied, as well as
the premium connections. This inherent pricing and supply control puts us at a competitive disadvantage, and we could lose business to integrated steel producers even if plain end pipe is available and we may have a better product. The acquisition
of U.S. tubular steel manufacturing capacity by a foreign integrated steel mill could result in a loss of market share for Hydril. In addition, other domestic and foreign steel producers who do not currently manufacture tubulars with premium
connections may in the future enter the premium connection business and compete with us.

Consolidation or loss of end-users of our
products could adversely affect demand for our products and services and reduce our revenue.

Exploration and production company
operators and drilling contractors have undergone substantial consolidation in the last few years. Additional consolidation is probable. In addition, many oil and gas properties will be transferred over time to different potential customers.

Consolidation results in fewer end-users for our products. In addition, merger activity among both major and independent oil and gas
companies also affects exploration, development and production activity, as these consolidated companies attempt to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Generally, only the more promising exploration and development projects from each merged entity
are likely to be pursued, which may result in overall lower post-merger exploration and development budgets. Moreover, some end-users are not as risk-averse and, as such, do not use as many premium products in drilling deep formation wells.

Consolidation among drilling contractors could result in the combined contractor standardizing its equipment preferences in favor of a
competitors products and lead to the loss of a customer. The capital equipment portion of our pressure control segment is heavily dependent on our offshore drilling contractor customers, and the loss of one of these customers through
consolidation could have a material effect on our potential future capital equipment sales.

We are subject to the usual risks associated
with having a limited number of customers and end-users. The end-users of our products, who are not always our direct customers, are



34



---

##### Table of Contents

primarily international and domestic independent, major and state-owned oil and gas companies and drilling contractors. During 2005, we sold products to and
services to approximately 1,071 customers. We estimate that for 2005, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PdVSA), the state-owned oil and gas company of Venezuela, through direct and indirect sales, represented 13% of our consolidated revenue; and that
Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), the state-owned oil and gas company of Mexico, through direct and indirect sales, represented 11% of our consolidated revenue. In 2005, our two largest direct premium connection customers accounted for 20% and 14% of
segment sales, and our ten largest direct premium connection customers accounted for 70% of total segment sales. In 2005, our two largest direct pressure control customers accounted for 14% and 11% of segment sales and our ten largest direct
pressure control customers accounted for 56% of segment sales.

The loss of one or more of our significant customers or end-users, a
reduction in exploration and development budgets as a result of industry consolidation or other reasons or a transfer of deep formation drilling prospects to end-users that do not rely as heavily on premium products could adversely affect demand for
our products and services and reduce our revenue.

Our quarterly sales and earnings may vary significantly, which could cause our stock
price to fluctuate.

Fluctuations in quarterly revenue and earnings could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Our
quarterly revenue and earnings may vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending upon:



| |  |  | the level of drilling activity worldwide, as well as the particular geographic focus of the activity;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the variability of customer orders, which are particularly unpredictable in international markets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the levels of inventories of our products held by our end-users and our distributors, which grew in some areas during the second quarter of 2006;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of our products sold and the margins on those products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | new products offered and sold by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | weather conditions or other natural disasters that can affect our operations or our customers operations, such as Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Stan in 2005, which disrupted
operations at our Gulf Coast facilities, in particular at our Westwego, Louisiana facility, as well as the operations of our customers in the region;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in commodity prices and currency exchange rates, which in some cases affect the costs and prices for our products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pipe costs and their impact on contract prices and the level of our sales that include the pipe, which bears a low margin and can vary widely and were unusually high in the second
quarter of 2006;

| |  |  | delays in the delivery or other limitations on the availability of plain-end pipe from steel mills for threading by us for our customers;

| |  |  | delays in the delivery of finished products to customers due to limitations on the availability of marine transportation, particularly internationally.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, our fixed costs cause our margins to decrease when demand is low and manufacturing capacity is underutilized.

The level and pricing of tubular goods imported into the United States and Canada could adversely affect demand for our products and our results of
operations.

The level of imports of tubular goods, which has increased in the last several years, affects the domestic tubular goods
market. High levels of imports reduce the volume sold by domestic producers and tend to reduce their selling prices, both of which could have an adverse impact on our business. We believe that United States import levels are affected by, among other
things:



| |  |  | United States and worldwide demand for tubular goods;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the trade practices of and government subsidies to foreign producers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the presence or absence of antidumping and countervailing duty orders.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

In many cases, foreign producers of tubular goods have been found by the United States government to have sold their products, which may include premium connections, for export to the United States at prices that are
lower than the cost of production or their prices in their home market or a major third-country market, a practice commonly referred to as dumping. If not constrained by U.S. antidumping duty orders and countervailing duty orders, which
impose duties on imported tubulars to offset dumping and subsidies provided by foreign governments, this practice allows foreign producers to capture sales and market share from domestic producers. Duty orders normally reduce the level of imported
goods and result in higher prices in the United States market.

Duty orders may be modified or revoked as a result of administrative
reviews conducted at the request of a foreign producer or other party. In addition, antidumping and countervailing duty orders may be revoked as a result of periodic sunset reviews. Under the sunset review procedure, an order must be
revoked after five years unless the United States Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission determine that dumping is likely to continue or recur and that material injury to the domestic industry is likely to continue or recur.
Antidumping duty orders currently cover imports of tubulars from Argentina, Italy, Japan, Korea and Mexico, and a countervailing duty order currently covers imports from Italy. Some of the foreign steel mills whose sales in the U.S. are currently
constrained by these orders

##### Table of Contents

and duties have their own premium connection products and are significant competitors of ours, particularly outside of the U.S. where they are not subject to
such orders. In addition, these steel mills have the benefit of the competitive advantages discussed above under We may lose premium connection business to international and domestic competitors who produce their own pipe, as well as other new
entrants or lose business due to limitations on the availability of pipe for threading. On June 1, 2006, the International Trade Commission (ITC) initiated five-year sunset reviews concerning the countervailing duty order on
oil country tubular goods from Italy and the antidumping orders on oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Italy, Japan, Korea and Mexico. At this time, the ITC is assessing the adequacy of interested parties to determine whether to conduct full
sunset reviews or expedited reviews. If the ITC elects to conduct full sunset reviews, all reviews must be completed by June 2007. If the orders covering imports from these countries are revoked in full or in part or the duty rates
lowered, we could be exposed to increased competition in the U.S. from imports that could reduce our sales and market share or force us to lower prices. Tubulars produced by domestic steel mills and threaded by us may not be able to economically
compete with tubulars manufactured and threaded at steel mills outside the U.S.

We rely on a few distributors for sales of our premium
connections in the United States and Canada; a loss of one or more of our distributors or a change in the method of distribution could adversely affect our ability to sell our products.

There are a limited number of distributors who buy steel tubulars, contract with us to thread the tubulars and sell completed tubulars with our premium
connections. In 2005, our nine distributors accounted for 73% of our premium connection sales in the United States and Canada.

In the
United States, tubular distributors have combined on a rapid basis in recent years resulting in fewer distribution alternatives for our products. In 1999, four distributors, one of which distributed our premium connections, combined to become one of
the largest distributors of tubulars in the United States, and the combined company no longer distributes our products. Because of the limited number of distributors, we have few alternatives if we lose a distributor. Identifying and utilizing
additional or replacement distributors may not be accomplished quickly and could involve significant additional costs. Even if we find replacement distributors, the terms of new distribution agreements may not be favorable to us. In addition,
distributors may not be as well capitalized as our end-users and may present a higher credit risk.

We cannot assure you that the current
distribution system for premium connections will continue. For example, products may in the future be sold directly by tubular manufacturers to end-users or through other distribution channels such as the internet. If methods of distribution change,
many of our competitors may be better positioned to take advantage of those changes than we are.

Intense competition in our industry could result in reduced profitability and loss of market share for
us.

Contracts for our products and services are generally awarded on a competitive basis, and competition is intense. The most
important factors considered by our customers in awarding contracts include:



| |  |  | availability and capabilities of the equipment;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ability to meet the customers delivery schedule;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | price and indexes affecting price;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | pipe costs and their impact on contract prices;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reputation;
| | - |  | -----------



| |  |  | experience;
| | - |  | -----------



| |  |  | safety record; and
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | technology.
| | - |  | -----------

Many of our major competitors are
diversified multinational companies that are larger and have substantially greater financial resources, larger operating staffs and greater budgets for marketing and research and development than we do. They may be better able to compete in making
equipment available faster and more efficiently, meeting delivery schedules or reducing prices. In addition, two or more of our major competitors could consolidate producing an even larger company. Also our competitors may acquire product lines or
consolidate with another company in the oilfield services and equipment industry, and as a result be able to offer a more complete package of drilling equipment and services rather than providing only individual components. For example, in March
2005 National Oilwell, a manufacturer and supplier of oilfield equipment, systems and services that has historically purchased Hydril pressure control equipment, merged with Varco International, a manufacturer of pressure control equipment and one
of our primary competitors. As a result of any of the foregoing reasons, we could lose customers and market share to those competitors. These companies may also be in a better position to endure downturns in the oil and gas industry.

We do not do business in as many countries as some of our larger multinational competitors and in some cases even where we do business, we do not have as
significant a presence. Our lack of geographic diversity and penetration may have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and competitive position. Spending on exploration and production is typically spread unevenly between various
regions with changes in geographic spending patterns arising as discoveries are made, the price of oil and gas changes, political changes take place or other factors occur that make drilling more or less attractive in a given geographic area. As a
result, even when international rig counts and drilling activity increase overall, if the increased activity is not in countries in which we have a strong presence, we may not experience any increase in business and may lose market share.



38

##### Table of Contents

Moreover, some of our competitors with greater financial resources and multinational presence have
relocated manufacturing operations to countries where they have substantially lower labor costs and lower general overhead costs. The relocation by competitors of manufacturing operations to low cost environments may continue in the future. As a
result, our competitors may have lower costs than we do and be able to sell their products at prices significantly below ours.

Finally,
demand for pressure control capital equipment is currently increasing due to the number of recently announced contracts to build new drilling rigs or refurbish existing rigs. As a result, manufacturing capacity in the industry for blowout prevention
equipment is being consumed at a faster rate than any of the previous five years. If demand for our products continues to increase, at some point in the future it is possible that our capacity could be maximized. If our capacity is maximized and
another supplier, who is much larger than us, has capacity available to produce the equipment in the time frame desired by our customer, we could lose orders.

If we are unable to attract and retain skilled labor, the results of our manufacturing and services activities will be adversely affected.

Our ability to operate profitably and expand our operations depends in part on our ability to attract and retain skilled manufacturing workers, equipment
operators, engineers and other technical personnel. Demand for these workers in the Houston area is currently high and the supply is limited, particularly in the case of skilled and experienced engineers and machinists. Because of the cyclical
nature of our industry, many qualified workers choose to work in other industries where they believe lay-offs as a result of cyclical downturns are less likely. As a result, our growth may be limited by the scarcity of skilled labor. Even if we are
able to attract and retain employees, the intense competition for them, especially when our industry is in the top of its cycle, may increase our compensation costs. Additionally, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could
result in a reduction in our skilled labor force, increases in the rates of wages we must pay or both. If our compensation costs increase or we cannot attract and retain skilled labor, the immediate effect on us would be a reduction in our profits
and the extended effect would be diminishment of our production capacity and profitability and impairment of any growth potential. We have recently experienced tightening in the relevant labor markets, and if that trend continues, it may have an
adverse affect on our results of operations and potential for growth.

Our international operations may experience severe interruptions
due to political, economic and other risks.

In 2005, approximately 69% of our total revenue was derived from services or equipment
ultimately provided or delivered to end-users outside the United States, and approximately 41% of our revenue was derived from products which were produced and used outside of the United States. We are, therefore, significantly exposed to the risks
customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries.

These risks include:



| |  |  | political instability, civil disturbances, war and terrorism;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | nationalization, expropriation, and nullification of contracts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in regulations and labor practices;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in currency exchange rates and potential devaluations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in currency restrictions which could limit the repatriations of profits or capital;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictive actions by local governments;

| |  |  | seizure of plant and equipment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in foreign tax laws.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

An interruption of our
international operations could reduce our earnings or adversely affect the value of our foreign assets. The occurrence of any of these risks could also have an adverse effect on demand for our products and services or our ability to provide them. We
have manufacturing facilities in Warri, Nigeria and in Batam, Indonesia and a portion of our revenue is from sales to customers in these countries and surrounding areas. In addition, a portion of our revenue is from sales to customers in Venezuela.
These countries in recent history have experienced civil disturbances and violence, which have disrupted oil and gas exploration and production operations located there as well as day-to-day operations and oversight of our business from time to
time. These disruptions have affected our operations and resulted in lower demand for our premium connection products and services and, accordingly have had an adverse affect on our results of operations in previous periods and may do so in the
future.

The occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks could have an adverse affect on our results and growth prospects, as well as on
our ability to access capital and obtain adequate insurance.

The occurrence or threat of future terrorist attacks could adversely
affect the economies of the United States and other developed countries. A lower level of economic activity could result in a decline in energy consumption, which could cause a decrease in spending by oil and gas companies for exploration and
development. In addition, these risks could trigger increased volatility in prices for crude oil and natural gas which could also adversely affect spending by oil and gas companies. A decrease in spending for any reason could adversely affect the
markets for our products and thereby adversely affect our revenue and margins and limit our future growth prospects. Moreover, these risks could cause increased instability in the financial and insurance markets and adversely affect our ability to
access capital and to obtain insurance coverage that we consider adequate or are otherwise required by our contracts with third parties.

High fixed costs in the pressure control industry could exacerbate the level of price competition for
our products, adversely affecting our business and revenue.

Demand in the pressure control industry is currently high and utilization
of capacity is increasing. Historically, however, there has been overcapacity in the pressure control equipment industry. When oil and gas prices fall, cash flows of our customers are reduced, leading to lower levels of expenditures and reduced
demand for pressure control equipment. In addition, adverse economic conditions can reduce demand for oil and gas, which in turn could decrease demand for our pressure control products. Under these conditions, the overcapacity causes increased price
competition in the sale of pressure control products and aftermarket services as competitors seek to capture the reduced business to cover their high fixed costs and avoid the idling of manufacturing facilities. Because we have multiple facilities
that produce different types of pressure control products, it is even more difficult for us to reduce our fixed costs since to do so we might have to shut down more than one plant. During and after periods of increasing oil and gas prices when sales
of pressure control products may be increasing, the overcapacity in the industry will tend to keep prices for the sale of pressure control products lower than if overcapacity were not a factor. As a result, when oil and gas prices are low, or are
increasing from low levels because of increased demand, our business and revenue may be adversely affected because of either reduced sales volume or sales at lower prices or both.

If we do not develop new technologies and products that are commercially successful, our revenue may decline or we may be required to write-off any
capitalized investment.

The markets for premium connections and pressure control products and services are characterized by
continual technological developments. As a result, substantial improvements in the scope and quality of product function and performance can occur over a short period of time. If we are not able to develop commercially competitive products in a
timely manner in response to changes in technology, our business and revenue may be adversely affected. Our future ability to develop new products depends on our ability to:



| |  |  | design and commercially produce products that meet the needs of our customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | successfully market new products; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain and maintain patent protection.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

We may encounter
resource constraints, technical issues, or other difficulties that could delay introduction of new products and services in the future. Our competitors may introduce new products or obtain patents before we do and achieve a competitive advantage.
Additionally, the time and expense invested in product development may not result in commercial applications and provide revenue.

For
example, from time to time, we have incurred significant amounts in the development of new technologies which were not successful for various commercial or technical reasons. If we are unable to successfully implement technological or R&D type
activities, our growth prospects may be reduced and the level of our future revenue may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we would be required to write-off any capitalized investment in a product

that is not a commercial success and does not have an alternative use. Moreover, we may experience operating losses after new products are introduced and
commercialized because of high start-up costs, unexpected manufacturing costs or problems, or lack of demand.

Limitations on our
ability to protect our intellectual property rights could cause a loss in revenue and any competitive advantage we hold.

Some of our
products and the processes we use to produce them have been granted United States and international patent protection, or have patent applications pending. Nevertheless, patents may not be granted from our applications and, if patents are issued,
the claims allowed may not be sufficient to protect our technology. If our patents are not enforceable, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, if any of our products infringe patents held by others, our financial results may be
adversely affected. Our competitors may be able to independently develop technology that is similar to ours without infringing on our patents. The latter is especially true internationally where the protection of intellectual property rights may not
be as effective. In addition, obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protection internationally may be significantly more expensive than doing so domestically. We may have to spend substantial time and money defending our patents. After our
patents expire, our competitors will not be legally constrained from developing products substantially similar to ours.

The loss of any
member of our senior management and other key employees may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our success depends heavily on
the continued services of our senior management and other key employees. Our senior management consists of a small number of individuals relative to other comparable or larger companies. These individuals are Christopher T. Seaver, our President and
Chief Executive Officer, Charles E. Jones, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Neil G. Russell, our Senior Vice President-Premium Connections and Senior Vice President-Business Development, Chuck Chauviere, our Vice
President-Pressure Control, and Chris D. North, our Chief Financial Officer. These individuals, as well as other key employees, possess sales and marketing, engineering, manufacturing, financial and administrative skills that are critical to the
operation of our business. We generally do not have employment or non-competition agreements with members of our senior management or other key employees. If we lose or suffer an extended interruption in the services of one or more of our senior
officers or other key employees, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Moreover, we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to succeed members of our senior management and other key employees.

We could be subject to substantial liability claims, which would adversely affect our results and financial condition.

Most of our products are used in hazardous drilling and production applications where an accident or a failure of a product can have catastrophic
consequences. For example, if one of our blowout preventers fails, the oil and gases from the well may ignite or the equipment and tubulars in the well may be suddenly propelled out of the well, potentially resulting in injury or death of personnel,
destruction of drilling equipment, environmental damage and suspension of operations. Damages arising from an occurrence at a location where our products are used have in the past and may in the future result in the assertion of potentially large
claims against us.

While we maintain insurance coverage against these risks, this insurance may not protect us against
liability for some kinds of events, including specified events involving pollution, or against losses resulting from business interruption. Our insurance may not be adequate in risk coverage or policy limits to cover all losses or liabilities that
we may incur. Moreover, we may not be able in the future to maintain insurance at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that we deem adequate. Any significant claims made under our policies will likely cause our premiums to increase. Any future
damages caused by our products or services that are not covered by insurance, are in excess of policy limits or are subject to substantial deductibles, could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations.

Changes in regulation or environmental compliance costs and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

Our business is affected by changes in public policy, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the energy industry.
The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic, environmental and other policy reasons may adversely affect our operations by limiting available drilling and other opportunities in
the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Our operations and properties are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, water
discharges, waste management and workplace safety. Many of our operations require permits that may be revoked or modified, that we are required to renew from time to time. Failure to comply with such laws, regulations or permits can result in
substantial fines and criminal sanctions, or require us to purchase costly pollution control equipment or implement operational changes or improvements. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, substantial capital and operating costs to comply
with environmental laws and regulations.

We could become subject to claims related to the release of hazardous substances which could
adversely affect our results and financial condition.

We use and generate hazardous substances and wastes in our manufacturing
operations. In addition, many of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial purposes for many years. Accordingly, we could become subject to potentially material liabilities relating to the investigation and cleanup of
contaminated properties, including property owned or leased by us now or in the past or third party sites to which we sent waste for disposal. We also could become subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of
exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances, including naturally occurring radioactive materials or technologically enhanced radioactive materials, which may be encountered in drilling for oil and gas. In addition, stricter enforcement of
existing laws and regulations, the enactment of new laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis of new or increased
liabilities that could reduce our earnings and our cash available for operations. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for more information regarding environmental contingencies.

Liability to customers under warranties may materially and adversely affect our earnings.

We provide warranties as to the proper operation and conformance to specifications of the equipment we manufacture. Our pressure
control equipment and premium connections are often deployed in harsh environments including subsea applications. Failure of this equipment or our premium connections to operate properly or to meet specifications may increase our costs by requiring
additional engineering resources and services, replacement of parts and equipment or monetary reimbursement to a customer. We have in the past received warranty claims and we expect to continue to receive them in the future. To the extent that we
incur substantial warranty claims in any period, our reputation, our ability to obtain future business and our earnings could be materially and adversely affected.

Excess cash is invested in marketable securities which may subject us to potential losses.

We invest
excess cash in various financial instruments and money market mutual funds rated as the highest quality by nationally recognized rating agencies. However, changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the
issuers can affect the market value of our short-term investments.
