Bronco Drilling Company, Inc., (Nasdaq/GM:BRNC), announced today
financial and operational results for the three months ended June
30, 2008. Consolidated Results Revenues for the second quarter of
2008 were $69.8 million compared to $62.3 million for the first
quarter of 2008 and $74.7 million for the second quarter of 2007.
Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $4.3 million compared
to $8.1 million for the previous quarter and $8.7 million for the
second quarter of 2007. The Company generated EBITDA of $20.6
million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $25.9 million
for the previous quarter and $25.8 million for the second quarter
of 2007. The Company�s fully diluted earnings per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $0.16. Results for the second
quarter of 2008 include non-recurring charges related to Bronco�s
equity investment in Challenger Limited. Second quarter results
were negatively impacted by a pre-tax loss of $1.5 million related
to the sale and or contribution of rigs to Challenger and
adjustments made to Challenger�s financial statements for the first
quarter resulting in a $1.9 million reduction in Challenger�s
pre-tax net income. These adjustments were made subsequent to
Bronco filing its first quarter 10-Q and therefore recognized by
Bronco in the second quarter. Without these non-recurring charges,
fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter would be $0.21.
Land Drilling Average operating land rigs for the first and second
quarters of 2008 were 45 compared to 52 for the second quarter of
2007. Revenue days for the quarter increased to 3,355 from 2,848
for the previous quarter and decreased from 3,624 for the second
quarter of 2007. Utilization for the second quarter of 2008 was 82%
compared to 69% for the previous quarter and 76% for the second
quarter of 2007. Average daily cash margins for our land drilling
fleet for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $7,088 compared to
$7,333 for the previous quarter and $7,941 for the second quarter
of 2007. Well Servicing Average operating workover rigs for the
second quarter of 2008 were 53 compared to 48 for the previous
quarter and 29 for the second quarter of 2007. Revenue hours for
the quarter increased to 25,533 from 23,865 for the previous
quarter and from 14,427 for the second quarter of 2007. Utilization
for the second quarter of 2008 was 75% compared to 77% for the
previous quarter and 78% for the second quarter of 2007. Average
hourly cash margins for our well servicing fleet for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, were $127 compared to $137 for the previous
quarter and $149 for the second quarter of 2007. Challenger Eight
of the rigs contributed or sold to Challenger are in Libya with
three of the rigs currently operating. Challenger is still in the
process of securing a debt facility to meet short-term capital
needs including those related to start-up of the Bronco rigs and to
mitigate downtime that has plagued Challenger�s operations due to
past underinvestment in adequate rig supplies and spare equipment.
Bronco considers the debt facility a pivotal component in
determining the long-term success of Challenger and expects
Challenger will continue to have unpredictable financial results in
the near-term. Recent Events and Outlook Bronco increased its
number of term contracts during the second quarter and now has
approximately 57% of its estimated revenue days for the last two
quarters of 2008 and 32% of its estimated revenue days for 2009
covered via term contracts. Total contracted revenue days do not
include days attributable to our multi-well contracts, as we do not
attempt to quantify the duration of those contracts. Inclusion of
such contracts would increase the percentages stated above. During
the second quarter, Bronco bid and won a tender in Mexico with
Pemex. This tender will require three rigs operating in the
Chicontepec basin near Poza Rica, Mexico. Two of the rigs have
begun to mobilize to Mexico with the third to follow in the coming
weeks. We anticipate all three will be operating in Mexico by the
end of August. The duration of the contract with Pemex for these
rigs is through the end of 2009. Bronco currently has six rigs
contractually committed to the Bakken Shale. All of these rigs will
require winterization and other modifications. Two of the rigs will
require major modifications and refurbishment which will include a
conversion from mechanical to electric power. We expect these rigs
to be deployed to the Bakken during the third and fourth quarters
of 2008. About Bronco Drilling Bronco Drilling Company, Inc., a
publicly held company headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma, is a
provider of contract land drilling services and workover services

press release includes a presentation of average daily cash margin
for our land drilling fleet, average hourly cash margin for our
well servicing fleet and EBITDA which are not financial measures
recognized under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Average daily cash margin is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to
net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure,
minus well service revenue, plus well service expense, income tax
expense, other expense, general and administrative expense and
depreciation and amortization, and divided by revenue days for the
period. Average hourly cash margin is a non-GAAP financial measure
equal to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure, minus contract drilling revenue, plus contract drilling
expense, income tax expense, other expense, general and
administrative expense and depreciation and amortization, and
divided by operating hours for the period. EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax expense
and depreciation and amortization. We have presented average daily
cash margin, average hourly cash margin and EBITDA because we use
these metrics as an integral part of our internal reporting to
measure our performance and to evaluate the performance of our
senior management. We consider these metrics to be important
indicators of the operational strength of our business. A
limitation of these metrics, however, is that they do not reflect
the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible
assets used in generating revenues in our business. Management
evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets and the
impact of related impairments through other financial measures,
such as capital expenditures, investment spending and return on
capital. Therefore, we believe that average daily cash margin,
average hourly cash margin and EBITDA provide useful information to
our investors regarding our performance and overall results of
operations. Neither average daily cash margin, average hourly cash
margin nor EBITDA is intended to be a performance measure that
should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than,
either net income as an indicator of operating performance or to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In
addition, none of these metrics is intended to represent funds
available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses,
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be
identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.

margin and EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP
