CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in global economic conditions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currency Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation (“DMC”) and its controlled subsidiaries. Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated. The equity method is used to account for our ownership in subsidiaries where we do not have a controlling interest. Currently, we have controlling interests in all of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each affiliate company. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated at exchange rates in effect at period-end, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and are included in other cumulative comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at actual exchange rates when known, or at the average rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows will not agree to changes in the corresponding balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies are reported as a separate line item below cash flows from financing activities.

In September 2010, our German subsidiary, DYNAenergetics, entered into a currency swap agreement with its bank to economically hedge the currency risk associated with a large U.S. dollar order ($2,700) that was awarded to it. Under the agreement, DYNAenergetics exchanged $2,700 for Euros at an exchange rate of 1.269 U.S. dollars per Euros between January 18, 2011 and April 30, 2011. We did not designate this derivative as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and as such, gains and losses related to changes in its valuation were recorded in the

Table of Contents

statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a gain on this currency swap agreement of $37 and $87, respectively. The gain is classified as other income (expense), net in our statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of clad metal products and welding services are generally based upon customer specifications set forth in customer purchase orders and require us to provide certifications relative to metals used, services performed, and the results of any non-destructive testing that the customer has requested be performed. All issues of conformity of the product to specifications are resolved before the product is shipped and billed. Products related to the oilfield products segment, which include detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters, and shaped charges, as well as, seismic related explosives and accessories, are standard in nature. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when all four of the following criteria have been satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; delivery has occurred; and collection is reasonably assured. For contracts that require multiple shipments, revenue is recorded only for the units included in each individual shipment. If, as a contract proceeds toward completion, projected total cost on an individual contract indicates a probable loss, we will account for such anticipated loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and payable, and accrued expenses are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in our LIBOR/EURIBOR basis borrowing spread would increase the fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2011 by less than 2%. The majority of our debt was incurred in connection with the 2007 acquisition of DYNAenergetics.

Additionally, we had a foreign currency hedge agreement that we entered in September 2010 (see above), which was recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are required to use an established hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:

· Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.

· Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The highest priority is assigned to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Our foreign currency hedge agreement, which expired on April 30, 2011, was not exchange listed and was therefore valued with models that use Level 2 inputs. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of the foreign currency hedge was $118 and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other on the balance sheet.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to acquiring the remaining outstanding interests in our unconsolidated joint ventures on April 30, 2010 (See Note 3), we had related party transactions with these joint ventures. A summary of related party transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is summarized below:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2010				June 30, 2010
			Interest				Interest
	Sales to		income from		Sales to		income from
DYNAenergetics RUS	$	161	$	—	$	663	$	—
Perfoline	—		3		19		13

Total	$	161	$	3	$	682	$	13

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to favorable foreign permanent differences and differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 19% to 33%) on earnings that have been permanently reinvested.

Earnings Per Share

Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) and require the use of the two class method for calculating EPS. Under this method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not anticipate a material impact from this update.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Austin Explosives

On June 4, 2010, we completed our acquisition of Austin Explosives Company (“AECO”), which is now operating under the name DYNAenergetics US, Inc. This business is part of our Oilfield Products business segment. AECO had been a long-time distributor of DYNAenergetics shaped charges. This acquisition, along with the acquisition of the outstanding interests in our Russian joint ventures (discussed below), further expands our Oilfield Products business, and positions the segment to capitalize on the long-term demand from the oil and gas industry.

The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase valued at $6,921 which was financed by (i) the payment of $3,620 (of which $3,544 was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010) in cash and (ii) the issuance of 222,445 shares of DMC common stock (valued at $3,301).

The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their fair values as determined by appraisals performed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets of AECO was as follows:

Current assets	$	5,792
Property, plant and equipment	368
Intangible assets	4,773
Deferred tax assets	7
Other assets	81

Total assets acquired	11,021

Current liabilities	4,100

Total liabilities assumed	4,100

Net assets acquired	$	6,921

We acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of AECO. The finite-lived intangible assets acquired were classified as customer relationships, were valued at $4,773, and are being amortized over 11 years. These amounts are included in Purchased Intangible Assets and are further discussed in Note 7.

On April 30, 2010, we purchased the outstanding non-controlling interests in our two Russian joint ventures that were previously majority-owned by our Oilfield Products business segment. These joint ventures include DYNAenergetics RUS, which is a Russian trading company that sells our oilfield products, and Perfoline, which is a Russian manufacturer of perforating gun systems. We paid a combined $2,065 for the respective 45% and 34.81% outstanding stakes in DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline. Prior to the acquisition date, we accounted for our 55% and 65.19% interest in DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline, respectively, as equity-method investments (see Note 4).

4. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

As discussed in Note 3, on April 30, 2010 we acquired the remaining non-controlling interests in two joint ventures that were previously majority-owned by our Oilfield Products business segment. Prior to the April 30, 2010 step acquisition, these investments, which include DYNAenergetics RUS and Perfoline, were accounted for under the equity method due to certain non-controlling interest veto rights that allowed the non-controlling interest shareholders to participate in the ordinary course of business decisions. Operating results from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 include our proportionate share of income from these unconsolidated joint ventures and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 our results include equity in earnings of joint ventures of $86 and $255, respectively. As a result of the step acquisition, we now consolidate the financial statements of these entities.

Summarized unaudited financial information for the joint ventures accounted for under the equity method for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

	Three Months		Six Months
	Ended		Ended
	June 30, 2010 (a)
Net sales	$	841	$	2,575
Gross Profit	$	240	$	656

Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the incurrence of additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; limits on capital expenditures; and maintenance of specified financial ratios. On February 2, 2011, our credit facility was amended, retroactive to December 31, 2010, to revise the leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios that we are required to satisfy on a quarterly basis throughout the remaining term of the credit facility. These revised ratios will ease our ability to comply with certain covenants of the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our business is organized in the following three segments: Explosive Metalworking, Oilfield Products, and AMK Welding. The Explosive Metalworking segment uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis of industrial diamonds. The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and transition joints for various industries, including upstream oil and gas, oil refinery, petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries. The Oilfield Products segment manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories. AMK Welding utilizes a number of welding technologies to weld components for manufacturers of jet engine and ground-based turbines.

The accounting policies of all the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our reportable segments are separately managed strategic

Table of Contents

business units that offer different products and services. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.

Beginning in 2011, we changed our methodology of allocating corporate overhead to our business segments. In connection with this change we no longer allocate certain corporate expenses that do not directly benefit our business segments. The business segment disclosure for the three months and six ended June 30, 2010 presented below reflects our new allocation methodology.

Segment information is presented for the three months and six ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts in this discussion are presented in thousands (000’s).

Executive Overview

Our business is organized into three segments: Explosive Metalworking (which we also refer to as DMC Clad), Oilfield Products and AMK Welding. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Explosive Metalworking accounted for 62% of our net sales and 69% of our income from operations before consideration of unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense, which is not allocated to our business segments. Our Oilfield Products and AMK Welding segments accounted for 33% and 5%, respectively, of our first half 2011 net sales, and 20% and 11%, respectively, of our income from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense.

Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $31,125, or 45.4%, compared to the same period of 2010. The year-to-year consolidated net sales increase reflects a sales increase of $13,830 (28.8%) for our Explosive Metalworking segment and sales increases of $17,113 (109.3%) for our Oilfield Products segment and $182 (3.7%) for AMK Welding. Excluding incremental sales of $5,743 from the acquisition of Austin Explosives on June 4, 2010 and the step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures that was completed on April 30, 2010, our Oilfield Products segment reported an increase of $11,370 or 72.6% from its first half 2010 net sales. Our consolidated income from operations increased to $7,393 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,331 in the same period of 2010. This $5,062 increase reflects increases of $2,835, $2,409 and $45 in the operating income reported by our Explosive Metalworking, Oilfield Products and AMK Welding segments, respectively, and a decrease in stock-based compensation of $39 which were partially offset by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $266. Reported consolidated operating income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes amortization expense of $2,876 and $2,537, respectively, relating to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions of DYNAenergetics, DYNAenergetics Canada, DYNAenergetics US, and the Russian joint ventures. We reported net income of $4,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2,625 for the same period of 2010.

Impact of Current Economic Situation on the Company

We were only minimally impacted in 2008 by the global economic slowdown. However, during 2009 and 2010, we experienced a significant slowdown in Explosive Metalworking sales to some of the markets we serve. The explosion-welded clad plate market is dependent upon sales of products for use by customers in a number of heavy industries, including oil and gas, alternative energy, chemicals and petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, and industrial refrigeration. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature and the current worldwide economic downturn has affected many of these markets. Despite the slowdown we have seen in certain sectors, including chemical, petrochemical and hydrometallurgy, quoting activity in other end markets remains healthy, and we continue to track an extensive list of projects. While timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict, we believe that our Explosive Metalworking segment is well-positioned to benefit as global economic conditions improve.

Table of Contents

Our Explosive Metalworking backlog, which totaled $97,247 at the end of 2008 before this business segment began to see a significant decline in booking activity, decreased to $41,154 at September 30, 2010 before rebounding to $56,539 at December 31, 2010 on strong fourth quarter 2010 booking activity and then decreasing slightly to $54,026 at June 30, 2011. Based upon our June 30, 2011 Explosive Metalworking backlog and expected year over year increases in 2011 sales for both our Oilfield and AMK Welding business segments, we believe that our 2011 consolidated net sales could increase by 28% to 30% from the $154,739 in consolidated net sales that we reported in 2010.

Net sales

Explosive Metalworking’s revenues are generated principally from sales of clad metal plates and sales of transition joints, which are made from clad plates, to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries. While a large portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by new plant construction and large plant expansion projects, maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand.

Oilfield Products’ revenues are generated principally from sales of shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, and bidirectional boosters and perforating guns to customers who perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and from sales of seismic products to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities.

AMK Welding’s revenues are generated from welding, heat treatment, and inspection services that are provided with respect to customer-supplied parts for customers primarily involved in the power generation industry and aircraft engine markets.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers; therefore, the failure to complete existing contracts on a timely basis, to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. We attempt to minimize the risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing aggressively on the basis of price.

Gross profit and cost of products sold

Cost of products sold for Explosive Metalworking includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Cost of products sold for Oilfield Products includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

AMK Welding’s cost of products sold consists principally of employee compensation and benefits, welding supplies (wire and gas), depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, outside services and other manufacturing overhead expenses.

Income taxes

Our effective income tax rate increased to 25.4% for the first half of 2011 from 11.7% for first half of 2010 and 17.7% for the full year 2010. Income tax provisions on the earnings of Nobelclad, Nitro Metall, Dynaplat, DYNAenergetics, DYNAenergetics Canada, DYNAenergetics RUS, Perfoline, and our German and Luxembourg holding companies have been provided based upon the respective French, Swedish, German, Canadian, Russian and Luxembourg statutory tax rates for the applicable years. Going forward, based upon existing tax regulations and current federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates, we expect our blended effective tax rate on our projected consolidated pre-tax income to range between 26% and 28% in 2011 before returning to normalized level of 28% to 30% in subsequent years.

Backlog

We use backlog as a primary means of measuring the immediate outlook for our Explosive Metalworking business. We define “backlog” at any given point in time as consisting of all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time. Generally speaking, we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months. From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized.

Our backlog with respect to the Explosive Metalworking segment decreased to $54,026 at June 30, 2011 from $56,539 at December 31, 2010 and $58,530 at March 31, 2011. This backlog decrease reflects an increase in Explosive Metalworking sales to $35,751 in the second quarter of 2011 from $26,074 in this year’s first quarter.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net sales

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Percentage

	2011		2010		Change		Change
Net sales	$	99,740	$	68,615	$	31,125	45.4	%

Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 increased 41.6% to $54,165 from $38,258 for the second quarter of 2010. Explosive Metalworking sales increased 33.9% to $35,751 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 (66% of total sales) from $26,690 for the same period of 2010 (70% of total sales). This $9,061 sales increase follows an increase in the Explosive Metalworking backlog from $51,417 at March 31, 2010 to $58,530 at March 31, 2011 and reflects more than $11 million in second quarter export shipments from our U.S. facility on two large orders that were booked in December of 2010. The decrease in Explosive Metalworking’s proportionate contribution to consolidated net sales is principally attributable to incremental 2011 sales for our Oilfield Products segment that resulted from 2010 acquisitions as further discussed below.

Oilfield Products contributed $15,717 to second quarter 2011 sales (29% of total sales), which represents an 81.6% increase from sales of $8,654 for the second quarter of 2010 (23% of total sales). Excluding incremental sales of $2,234 from our acquisition of Austin Explosives and step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures, the second quarter 2011 sales increase for Oilfield

Table of Contents

Products was $4,829 or 55.8%. This significant increase in sales reflects a substantial increase in global oil and gas drilling activities, particularly in North America.

AMK Welding contributed $2,697 to second quarter 2011 sales (5% of total sales), compared to sales of $2,914 for the second quarter of 2010 (7% of total sales), a decrease of 7.4%.

Our consolidated net sales for the first half of 2011 increased 45.4% to $99,740 from $68,615 in the first half of 2010. Explosive Metalworking sales increased 28.8% to $61,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (62% of total sales) from $47,996 for the same period of 2010 (70% of total sales). This sales increase reflects a modest strengthening of demand in our Explosive Metalworking business and more than $11 million in second quarter shipments on two large orders as discussed above.

Oilfield Products contributed $32,773 to first half 2011 sales (33% of total sales), which represents a 109.3% increase from sales of $15,660 for the first half of 2010 (23% of total sales). Excluding incremental sales of $5,743 from our acquisition of Austin Explosives and step acquisition of two Russian joint ventures, the first half 2011 sales increase for Oilfield Products was $11,370 or 72.6%. As discussed above, this significant sales increase reflects a substantial increase in global oil and gas drilling activities, particularly in North America.

AMK Welding contributed $5,141 to first half 2011 sales (5% of total sales), which represents a 3.7% increase from sales of $4,959 in the first half of 2010 (7% of total sales).

Gross profit	$	25,776		$	16,242		$	9,534	58.7	%
Consolidated gross profit margin rate	25.8		%	23.7		%

Gross profit increased by 67.1% to $15,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $9,258 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our second quarter 2011 consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 28.6% from the 24.2% gross margin that we reported for the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit increased by 58.7% to $25,776 from $16,242 for the same period of 2010. Our year to date consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 25.8% from 23.7% for the first six months of 2010.

The gross profit margin for Explosive Metalworking increased from 19.7% in the second quarter of 2010 to 25.2% in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in the second quarter 2011 gross profit margin rate for our Explosive Metalworking segment relates principally to favorable changes in product mix as compared to the second quarter of 2010 and a somewhat improved pricing environment compared to the extremely competitive pricing environment that existed throughout 2010. Our gross profit margin for the Explosive Metalworking segment increased to 21.8% for the first six months of 2011 from 20.7% for the same period in 2010. As has been the case historically, we expect to see continued fluctuations in Explosive Metalworking’s quarterly gross margin rates in the future that result from fluctuations in quarterly sales volume and change in product mix.

Table of Contents

Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 35.7% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a gross profit margin of 34.7% in the second quarter of 2010. Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 32.8% for the first half of 2011 compared to a gross profit margin of 31.5% for the first half of 2010. The increase in Oilfield Products’ gross margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 relates principally to the significant sales increase discussed above and the additional margin resulting from sales of former distributors in the U.S. and Russia that were acquired during the second quarter of 2010 as these acquired entities sold products through to the end customers.

The gross profit margin for AMK Welding decreased to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2011 from 37.4% in the second quarter of 2010. The gross profit margin for AMK Welding increased to 32.2% in the first six months of 2011 from 31.3% in the first six months of 2010. The second quarter decrease and year-to-date increase in AMK Welding’s reported gross margins relates principally to differences in the rate at which AMK Welding absorbed its fixed manufacturing overhead costs based on the sales fluctuations discussed above.

Based upon the expected contribution to 2011 consolidated net sales by each of our three business segments, we expect our consolidated full year 2011 gross margin to be in a range of 26% to 28%.

Selling and distribution expenses, which include sales commissions of $528 in the second quarter of 2011 and $314 in the second quarter of 2010, increased by 53.4% to $3,911 in the second quarter of 2011 from $2,550 in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding incremental selling and distribution expenses of $554 that resulted from the acquisitions of Austin Explosives and the Russian joint ventures, our selling and distribution expenses increased by $807 or 31.6%. This increase in our selling and distribution expenses includes increased selling and distribution expenses of $313 at our U.S. divisions and $494 at our foreign divisions.

The $313 increase in our U.S. selling and distribution expenses reflects increases of $148 and $91 for accrued incentive compensation and commissions, respectively, an increase of $82 for bad debt expense and a net decrease of $8 in other spending categories. The $494 increase in our foreign divisions’ selling and distribution expenses reflects increases of $78 and $124 for salary expense and sales commissions, respectively, and a net increase of $292 in other spending categories. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 7.2% in the second quarter of 2011 from 6.7% in the second quarter of 2010.

Selling and distribution expenses, which include sales commissions of $1,121 in the first half of 2011 and $612 in the first half of 2010, increased by 56.8% to $7,638 in the first half of 2011 from $4,871 in the first half of 2010. Excluding incremental selling and distribution expenses of $1,517 that resulted from the acquisitions of Austin Explosives and the Russian joint ventures, our selling and distribution expenses increased by $1,250 or 25.7%. This increase in our selling and distribution expenses includes increased selling and distribution expenses of $489 at our U.S. divisions and $761 at our foreign divisions.

The $489 increase in our U.S. selling and distribution expenses reflects increases of $173 and $223 for accrued incentive compensation and commissions, respectively, an increase of $170 for bad debt expense and a net decrease of $77 in other spending categories. The $761 increase in our foreign divisions’ selling and distribution expenses reflects increases of $259 and $286 for salary expense and sales commissions, respectively, and a net increase of $216 in other spending categories. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 7.7% in the first half of 2011 from 7.1% in the first half of 2010.

The increase in selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of sales relates largely to our Oilfield Products business and the need, particularly in North America, to maintain a number of strategically located distribution centers that are in close proximity to areas which contain a large concentration of oilfields and enjoy a high volume of related oil and gas drilling activities.

Table of Contents

Explosive Metalworking reported operating income of $5,605 in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $2,486 in the second quarter of 2010. This 125.5% increase is largely attributable to the 33.9% sales increase and 28.1% increase in the gross margin rate as discussed above. Operating results of Explosive Metalworking for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include $574 and $551, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. Explosive Metalworking reported operating income of $7,159 in the first half of 2011 as compared to $4,324 in the first half of 2010. This 65.6% increase is largely attributable to the 28.8% sales increase and 5.7% increase in the gross margin rate as discussed above. Operating results of Explosive Metalworking for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include $1,120 and $1,149, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets.

Oilfield Products reported operating income of $1,159 in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $134 in the second quarter of 2010. For the first half of 2011, Oilfield Products reported operating income of $2,083 compared to an operating loss of $326 for the first half of 2010. The significant improvement in operating results for our Oilfield Products segment is attributable to the significant increases in sales and gross profit as discussed above that reflect the incremental sales and gross profit from the acquisitions of Austin Explosives and the Russian joint ventures as well as an increase in global oil and gas drilling activities, particularly in North America. Operating results of Oilfield Products for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include $897 and $713, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. Operating results of Oilfield Products for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include $1,756 and $1,388, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets.

AMK Welding reported operating income of $702 in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 18.8% from the $865 that it reported in the second quarter of 2010. AMK Welding reported operating income of $1,170 for the first six months of 2011 compared to $1,125 for the first six months of 2010.

Our consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes $698 and $489, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $871 and $910, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense.

Our second quarter 2011 net other expense of $136 includes net realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses of $154 and net other expense items aggregating $19, which were offset by a gain of $37 on our currency swap agreement. Our second quarter 2010 net other expense of $110 relates principally to net realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses recorded by our Swedish, German and Canadian subsidiaries.

We reported net other expense of $339 in the first half of 2011 compared to net other income of $31 in the half of 2010. Our first half 2011 net other expense of $339 includes net realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses of $465, offset by a gain of $87 on our currency swap agreement and net other income items aggregating $39.

We recorded net interest expense of $893 in the first half of 2011 compared to net interest expense of $1,741 in the first half of 2010. Interest expense for the first half of 2010 included a non-recurring, non-cash charge of $251 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the March prepayment, in the amount of $12,498 (9,020 Euros), of the remaining balance of the Euro term loan that was outstanding under our bank syndicate credit facility. This Euro term loan was scheduled to mature on November 16, 2012. The decrease in our second quarter and first half 2011 interest expense is attributable to a significant reduction in average outstanding borrowings that resulted from scheduled term loan payments and the March 2010 prepayment of the Euro term loan.

We recorded an income tax provision of $1,418 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $505 in the second quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate increased to 26.9% in the second quarter of 2011 from 14.2% in the second quarter of 2010 and 17.7% for the full year 2010. Our consolidated income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included $1,815 and $463, respectively, related to U.S. taxes, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax benefit of $397 in 2011 and net foreign tax provision of $42 in 2010 associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an income tax provision of $1,565 compared to $351 in the same period of 2010. The effective tax rate increased to 25.4% in the first half of 2011 from 11.7% in the first half of 2010. Our consolidated income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included $2,291 and $849, respectively, related to U.S. taxes, with the remainder relating to a net foreign tax benefits of $726 and $498, respectively, associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

Our statutory income tax rates range from 19% to 33% for our various U.S. and foreign operating subsidiaries and holding companies. The fluctuations in our consolidated effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 relate principally to the different tax rates in our U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions and the variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods and also reflect the impact of favorable permanent differences in our foreign taxes. We expect our blended effective tax rate for 2011 to range from 26% to 28% based on projected full year 2011 pre-tax income.

These aggregate non-cash charges

represent a significant percentage of the consolidated operating income that we reported for these periods. We use non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making and believe that these non-GAAP measures are a reliable indicator of our ability to generate cash flow from operations and facilitate a more meaningful comparison of the operating performance of our three business segments than do certain GAAP measures. Research analysts, investment bankers and lenders also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBIDTA.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 73.0% to $9,522 in the second quarter of 2011 from $5,505 in the second quarter of 2010 primarily due principally to the $3,811 increase in second quarter 2011 operating income. Adjusted EBITDA increased 62.8% to $14,583 in the first half of 2011 from $8,957 in the first half of 2010 due principally to the $5,062 increase in 2011 first operating income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, various long-term debt arrangements, and the issuance of common stock. We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders at attractive prices; and (iii) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted. Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements.

Debt facilities

In connection with the acquisition of DYNAenergetics in 2007, we entered into a five-year syndicated credit agreement. The credit agreement, which provided term loans of $45,000 and 14,000 Euros and revolving credit loan availability of $25,000 and 7,000 Euros, is through a syndicate of seven banks.

Table of Contents

There are two significant financial covenants under our credit facility, the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. As a result of the slowdown in our business during 2009 which continued into the early part of 2010, we were concerned about our ability to comply with these financial covenants as of March 31, 2010 and subsequent quarters of 2010. In an effort to alleviate this concern and remain in compliance with financial covenants as of March 31, 2010 and in future periods, we made a March prepayment of the remaining principal balance due under our bank syndicated Euro term loan in the amount of $12,498 (9,020 Euros) and, on April 19, 2010, amended the credit agreement to exclude scheduled principal payments under the Euro term loan from fixed charge coverage ratio computations for March 31, 2010 and forward. As we reached the end of 2010 and completed our 2011 budget, we were once again concerned about our ability to remain in compliance with financial covenants as of December 31, 2010 and in future quarterly periods of 2011. To address this concern, on February 2, 2011, we amended the credit agreement to reduce the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement to 0.9 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended December 31, 2010 and 1.0 to 1.0 for any trailing four quarter period thereafter. The February 2, 2011 amendment also increased the maximum leverage ratio for any trailing four quarter period ending after September 30, 2011 to 1.25 to 1.0 from 1.0 to 1.0, and increased maximum annual capital expenditure limits for 2011 and 2012 from $8 million for both years to $10 million for 2011 and $14 million for 2012.

The leverage ratio is defined in the credit facility as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at the balance sheet date as compared to Consolidated EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before provisions for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary, non-recurring charges and other non-cash charges, for the previous twelve months. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, Consolidated EBITDA approximated the “Adjusted EBITDA” that we reported for the respective periods. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility was 1.5 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of June 30, 2011 was 1.24 to 1.0. The maximum leverage ratio permitted as of September 30 and December 31, 2011 is 1.5 to 1.0 and 1.25 to 1.0, respectively.

The fixed charge ratio, as defined in the credit facility, means, for any period, the ratio of Earnings Available for Fixed Charges to Fixed Charges. Earnings Available for Fixed Charges equals Consolidated EBITDA plus lease expenses minus cash income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. Fixed Charges equals the sum of cash interest expense, lease expense, scheduled principal payments and cash dividends. As of June 30, 2011, the minimum fixed charge ratio permitted by our credit facility was 1.0 to 1.0. The actual fixed charge ratio as of June 30, 2011 was 1.51 to 1.0. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio permitted for the twelve month periods ending September 30 and December 31, 2011 is 1.0 to 1.0.

As of June 30, 2011, a U.S. dollar term loan of $22,247 was outstanding under our credit facility, $216 was outstanding under term loan obligations of DYNAenergetics and $1,363 was outstanding under loan agreements with the former owners of LRI. We had $6,234 outstanding on our revolving credit borrowings under our syndicated credit agreement and $2,490 outstanding under our separate DYNAenergetics’ line of credit agreements. While we had approximately $34,983 of unutilized revolving credit loan capacity as of June 30, 2011 under our various credit facilities, future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit availability.

Debt and other contractual obligations and commitments

Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets, and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

Table of Contents

Our principal cash flows related to debt obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2010.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the first half of 2011 totaled $755. Our first half 2011 operating cash flow reflects net income of $4,596 and the benefit of certain non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization expense of $5,661 and stock-based compensation of $1,663. Operating cash flow in the first half of 2011 was reduced by a deferred income tax benefit of $1,367 and net negative changes in working capital of $9,899. Negative cash flows from changes in working capital included increases in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses of $6,763, $11,114, and $870, respectively. These were partly offset by increases in accounts payable, customer advances and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5,759, $1,396 and $1,693, respectively. The sizeable increase in accounts receivables relates principally to a large increase in second quarter Explosively Metalworking shipments compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, with particularly strong shipping activity in June. The significant increase in inventories is split somewhat evenly between our Explosive Metalworking and Oilfield Products segments, with the Explosive Metalworking increase relating to an increase in work-in-process inventories to meet third quarter shipment requirements on larger orders included in our June 30, 2011 backlog and the Oilfield Products increase relating to an increase in finished goods inventories in our Oilfield Products segment required by the increase in business activity this segment has experienced in recent months. The increase in accounts payable follows the increase in inventory levels.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the first half of 2010 totaled $9,695. Significant sources of operating cash flow included net income of $2,642, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $5,324, stock-based compensation of $1,702 and net positive changes in various components of working capital in the amount of $3,360. These sources of operating cash flow were partially offset by a $2,117 gain on step acquisition of joint ventures and a deferred income tax benefit of $961. Net positive changes in working capital included a decrease in accounts receivable of $8,142 and an increase in customer advances of $1,565. These positive changes in working capital were partially offset by increases in inventory and prepaid expenses of $1,841 and $880, respectively, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,494 and $2,132.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash flows used by investing activities for the first half of 2011 totaled $2,250 and consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures.

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the first half of 2010 totaled $7,179 which included investments in acquisitions of $5,609 and capital expenditures of $1,445.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the first half of 2011 totaled $4,211, which included net borrowings on bank lines of credit of $5,818, a contribution of $42 from our noncontrolling stockholder and $99 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock relating to the exercise of stock options. These sources of cash flow were partially offset by uses of cash flows in financing activities which included payment of quarterly dividends of $1,062, $421 in principal payments on our Nord LB term loan, $109 for the negative tax impact of stock-based compensation and payment on capital lease obligations of $156.

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the first half of 2010 were $14,882, which included $2,876 in required prepayments of term loans under our syndicated credit agreement from excess cash flow that we generated in fiscal year 2009, $12,498 to prepay the remaining principal balance of our Euro term loan under our syndicated credit agreement, $399 in principal payments on Nord LB term loans, payment of quarterly dividends of $1,033 and payment on capital lease obligations of $146. These uses of cash flows were partially offset by net borrowings on bank lines of credit of $1,998 and $70 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock relating to the exercise of stock options.

Payment of Dividends

On May 26, 2011, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.04 per share which was paid on July 15, 2011. The dividend totaled $534 and was payable to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2011. On March 9, 2011, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.04 per share which was paid on April 15, 2011. The dividend totaled $533 and was payable to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2011. We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.04 per share in the first and second quarters of 2010.

We may continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that cash dividends are in compliance with our debt covenants and are in the best interests of our stockholders, but we cannot assure you that such payments will continue. Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance, changes in federal income tax laws, or any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Any decision to pay cash dividends is and will continue to be at the discretion of board of directors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk from that reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive

Table of Contents

Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. There have been no changes in our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 or in other factors that could materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
