Notes:

*

Trican makes reference to operating income/(loss), adjusted profit/(loss) and funds provided by/(used in) operations. These are measures that are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Management believes that, in addition to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), adjusted profit/(loss) and funds provided by/(used in) operations are useful supplemental measures. Operating income/(loss) provides investors with an indication of net income/(loss) before depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gains and losses, other income, finance costs and income tax expense. Adjusted profit/(loss) provides investors with information on net income/(loss) excluding one-time non-cash charges and the non-cash effect of stock-based compensation expense. Funds provided by/(used in) operations provide investors with an indication of cash available for capital commitments, debt repayments and other expenditures. Investors should be cautioned that operating income/(loss), adjusted profit/(loss), and funds provided by/(used in) operations should not be construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) and cash provided/(used in) operations determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Trican's performance. Trican's method of calculating operating income/(loss), adjusted profit/(loss) and funds provided by/(used in) operations may differ from that of other companies and accordingly may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $396.6 million, a decrease of 5% compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted loss per share for the second quarter of 2013 excludes a goodwill impairment write-down of $4.1 million relating to our Australia operations and $1.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Funds used in operations were $29.1 million compared to $43.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.
