o       Maverick anticipates increased profitability from the addition of the
         16-inch operation

o       Maverick has discontinued its DOM operations where losses were incurred

o       Maverick will have additional profits related to the relocation of
         equipment from Longview to Arkansas and Calgary

         o  Realization of savings from the slitter equipment in Calgary
         o  Elimination of the "West Coast" premium & freight for steel
         o  Additional volume on the mill relocated to Arkansas

                                                                              26

Impact of Lower Volume and Pricing


o       Maverick's 2001 earnings were $1.34 per share excluding one-time charges

o       2002 looks like $0.20 from operations

o       A 5% decrease in U.S. Energy volume will reduce earnings by $0.07 per
         share

o       A 5% decline in U.S. Energy pricing can take earnings down by $0.17 per
         share

o       A 5% increase in U.S. steel cost will negatively impact earnings per
         share by $0.06

                                                                              27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion


o       Demand for OCTG in 2002 down by 24%

o       OCTG pricing is trending up, but still below averages for 2001

o       Steel costs have risen, but should fall in 2003

o       OCTG inventories have been pared back

o       Import rates have declined with less attractive market and higher input
         costs

o       Anticipate improving market conditions 4Q of 2002 and 2003

                                                                              28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While 2002 is a Down Year...
2003 Could Be Much Improved


o       Cash flows suggest drilling improves 18%

o       Supplies of imports, inventories lower

o       Domestic shipments rise by 40-50% above current levels dependent upon
         inventory change

o       Pricing rises with capacity utilization

o       Steel costs will fall by 20%

                                                                              29

MAVERICK TUBE CORPORATION

                            Where is Maverick Going?

                           2002 - A tough year...
                           2003 - Should be better...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operational Changes Within Maverick
Result in Increased Potential Profits

o       Maverick realized significant benefits related to steel cost in Canada
         along with SG&A synergies

o       Maverick anticipates increased profitability from the addition of the
         16-inch operation

o       Maverick has discontinued its DOM operations where losses were incurred

o       Maverick will have additional profits related to the relocation of
         equipment from Longview to Arkansas and Calgary

         o  Realization of savings from the slitter equipment in Calgary
         o  Elimination of the "West Coast" premium & freight for steel
         o  Additional volume on the mill relocated to Arkansas

o       Precision cash flow will help!

                                                                              26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impact of Lower Volume and Pricing

o       Maverick's 2001 earnings were $1.34 per share excluding one-time charges

o       2002 looks like $0.20 from operations

o       A 5% decrease in U.S. Energy volume will reduce earnings by $0.07 per
         share

o       A 5% decline in U.S. Energy pricing can take earnings down by $0.17 per
         share

o       A 5% increase in U.S. steel cost will negatively impact earnings per
         share by $0.06

                                                                              27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

o       Demand for OCTG in 2002 down by 24%

o       OCTG pricing is trending up, but still below averages for 2001

o       Steel costs have risen, but should fall in 2003

o       OCTG inventories have been pared back

o       Import rates have declined with less attractive market and higher input
         costs

o       Anticipate improving market conditions 4Q of 2002 and 2003

                                                                              28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While 2002 is a Down Year...
2003 Could Be Much Improved

o       Cash flows suggest drilling improves 18%

o       Supplies of imports, inventories lower

o       Domestic shipments rise by 40-50% above current levels dependent upon
         inventory change

o       Pricing rises with capacity utilization

o       Steel costs will fall by 20%

                                                                              29
