OUCH!!! The stock is down almost $5 to $12! Core Labs (CLB) sees 1999 income falling below 1998 HOUSTON, April 6 (Reuters) - Core Laboratories N.V., a consulting firm which analyzes oil and gas reserves, said Tuesday continuing oil sector weakness will push 1999 net income, especially in first half, well below last year's levels. But the company said it expects 1999 revenues to increase slightly over last year. In 1998, Core earned $20 million, or $0.71 per share, on revenues of $286.2 million. Core added it will record about $6.5 million in charges in the first quarter ended March 31 on top of already announced $3.5 million charge related to the failed GeoScience merger. The new charge stems from asset write-downs, personnel reduction expenses, facility-related costs and other items. Core terminated the $200 million merger deal in March, saying that Houston-based GeoScience did not meet conditions of the merger. Core said it is addressing soft demand for oilfield products and services and may see a pickup in demand during the second half of the year if clients' capital expenditures increase as expected. Shares of Core closed at $17.63 on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, below their 12-month high of $26.44 but above their 12-month low of $11.63.
