Item 2.02.             Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On March 11, 2016, Dawson Geophysical Company (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) reporting its preliminary financial results for its fiscal 2015 year-end and the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the fourth quarter of the Company’s 2015 fiscal year. This form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 11, 2016 (the “Form 8-K”), which furnished the Press Release as Exhibit 99.1 thereto, and is being filed to correct an error in the Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities table included in the financial information set forth in the Press Release. The amounts provided in the Press Release for total reconciled EBITDA were correct, but two of the component calculations (“Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” and “Changes in working capital and other items) required correction (as set forth in the table below) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 as well as the 2015 fiscal year.

 

The Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities table in the Press Release is amended and restated as follows:
