TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

      As 1996 begins to unfold, our industry is experiencing a wave of very
positive sentiment, with offshore drilling providing most of the momentum.  The
fundamentals of the offshore drilling industry have improved significantly
during the past twelve months, as capacity utilization of the worldwide
offshore rig fleet is at its highest level in more than ten years and is
continuing to edge upward.  As a result, day rates have increased and contract
lengths have extended, particularly for "premium" rigs.

      This trend favorably impacts Varco as the higher cost and more demanding
environment associated with offshore drilling generally requires the use of
higher capacity and more cost-effective drilling equipment.  Additionally, our
key customers, the offshore drilling contractors, are experiencing their best
financial results in many years.  These elements combine to create both the need
and financial resources to upgrade rigs and invest in newer technology
equipment.

      These industry conditions are reflected in our incoming orders, which
totaled $102.2 million in the first quarter.  This is the second consecutive
quarter in which order bookings reached an all-time high for the Company,
surpassing the $85.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter of last year.  In
the first quarter of l995 incoming orders were $76.9 million.  The increase from
the year ago period is attributable to our Shaffer Division, and is the direct
result of orders for equipment involved in the upgrading of several floating
offshore rigs to operate in deeper water.

      Net Income for the first quarter was $3.0 million, $.10 per share, on
Revenues of $71.0 million.  For the first quarter of 1995, Net Income was $2.9
million, $.09 per share, and Revenues were $57.6 million.  Profitability
continued to be adversely impacted in the first quarter by certain newer
products of our Drilling Systems Division.  As reported at the end of last year,
these products have yielded less than typical manufacturing margins and incurred
high field support costs.  However, the impact was less than in the fourth

                                       
<PAGE>
 
quarter of last year and our profit improvement plans for these products are
demonstrating progress.

      Industry conditions are generally more favorable today than at any time in
recent years.  The cold winter has caused oil and gas prices to increase, and
many analysts believe that the long standing excess supply of these commodities
has been substantially eliminated and that our industry is entering a period of
improving economics.  While we also sense a fundamental shift in the industry
outlook, our view is tempered by the unpredictability which has characterized
our industry in recent years.

      One change which we believe to be enduring is the emphasis by major oil
companies on reducing the unit cost of finding and producing oil and gas.  As
noted previously this effort has led to drilling in deeper water and in more
hostile environments, and to an increased reliance on new technology.   All of
these factors are particularly beneficial to Varco, and they play directly into
the key strategies we have followed in recent years.  Therefore, we will
concentrate on continuing to effectively execute those strategies that have
served us well to date.

      We appreciate your continued support.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

     Worldwide drilling activity, as measured by the average number of active
drilling rigs, increased slightly in the first three months of 1996 to an
average of approximately 1,803 from an average of approximately 1,786 during the
same period in 1995.  The international component of active drilling rigs
averaged approximately 780 in the first quarter of 1996 an increase of 30 over
the prior year.  The U.S. rig count was essentially unchanged in the first
quarter of last year, while Canadian activity declined by 12 rigs, to an average
of 315.

     Offshore drilling activity increased significantly year-to-year, as
reflected by an increase in rig utilization (mobile offshore rigs under contract
as a percent of available rigs).  For the first quarter of 1996, mobile offshore
rig utilization averaged 87%, the highest level in more than ten years, as
compared to 81% in the first quarter of 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Set forth below are the net orders and revenues for the Company's five
operating divisions:

</TABLE>

     Order bookings increased $25.3 million, 33%, in the first three months of
1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  The increase is attributable to
the Shaffer Division and included orders to upgrade several offshore rigs
(primarily floating offshore rigs used in deepwater drilling) with higher
capacity pressure control, motion compensation and related equipment. The year-
to-year variations in order rate at the other Divisions reflect typical
quarterly fluctuations for these Divisions.

     The increase in revenues for Drilling Systems is primarily due to a $3.3
million increase in sales of pipe handling systems and to the shipment of 12 Top
Drive Drilling Systems during the first quarter as compared to 10 units in the
first quarter of 1995.

     The increase in revenue for Shaffer partially reflects the increased order
rate for offshore equipment, although the full impact of Shaffer's increased
order rate is yet to occur.  Shaffer's backlog of unshipped orders at March 31,
1996 was approximately $64.5 million as compared to $16.0 million at March 31,
1995.

     The Company's new orders were $85.6 million for the fourth quarter of 1995
and $102.2 million for the first quarter of 1996.  These rates compare to an
average of $69.8 million for the first three quarters of 1995.  Virtually all of
these increases are attributable to the Shaffer Division, resulting from the
offshore rig upgrades discussed above.

     At March 31, 1996 the Company's backlog of unshipped orders was
approximately $107.3 million as compared to $75.4 million at December 31, 1995.
In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally are
cancelable by customers at any time.  The Company believes that most of the
backlog will be shipped by December 31, 1996.

     Gross margins (net sales and rental income less costs of sales and rental
income) as a percentage of net sales and rental income for the first quarter of
1996 was 35.2%. This compares to a gross margin of 41.6% for the same period in
1995. The decline is primarily due to lower margins on Drilling Systems' newer
products.

                                      
<PAGE>
 
     The lower Drilling Systems' margins reduced overall margins by
approximately 4.3% and reflect a slightly negative margin on TDS-9S units ($2.8
million in revenue), which includes high field support cost, and lower than
average margins on newer pipe handling products. The balance of the decline is
due to higher Shaffer revenues which carry lower gross margins (due principally
to price competition) than the combined gross margins of the other divisions.

     The increase in other income is due to the sale of an equity security that
was previously received in settlement of a previously written-off trade
receivable.

     The Company believes that new product development is a significant factor
for the future of the Company. During the first three months of 1996 the Company
spent $3.6 million or 5.0% of revenues on new product development. This compares
to $3.2 million or 5.5% of revenue during the same period in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 6% in
the first quarter 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995. As a percent of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 22.7% from
26.3% in the first quarter of 1996. The dollar increase is primarily due to
selling costs associated with the higher revenue level.

     Overall Company employment at March 31, 1996 was 1,684 (including 210
temporary employees) which compares to 1,465 (including 220 temporary employees)
a year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in manufacturing
employees.

     The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1996 was 36.5% as compared
to 38.3% for the first quarter of 1995. The lower tax rate is due to a higher
effective foreign tax rate in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1996 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million
as compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 1995. This decline was due to an
increase in working capital during the first quarter.

                                       
<PAGE>
 
     On March 24, 1995, the Company commenced a "Dutch Auction" type tender
offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to 5,300,000 shares of its Common
Stock at a purchase price not greater than $8.00 per share nor less than $6.75
per share. Pursuant to the Tender Offer, which terminated on April 21, 1995, the
Company purchased 3,150,560 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of
$8.00 per share. The aggregate cost to the Company of the Tender Offer,
including expenses, was approximately $26.2 million, which was funded from cash
and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
    
     In July 1992 the Company sold $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of
its 8.95% Senior Notes Due June 30, 1999 (the "Senior Notes") to a group of ten
institutional investors pursuant to a Note Agreement dated as of July 1, 1992
(the "Note Agreement"). The principal of the Senior Notes is payable in five
equal annual installments of $10.0 million, the first of which was made on June
30, 1995. Effective as of March 8, 1995, the holders of the Senior Notes waived
compliance with certain covenants contained in the Note Agreement in order to
permit the Tender Offer and amended certain financial covenants to take into
account the effect of the consummation of the Tender Offer. The Senior Notes
include a yield maintenance prepayment penalty if any principal is repaid prior
to the installment due date. Had the entire outstanding principal amount been
prepaid at March 31, 1996 the prepayment penalty would have been
approximately $1.8 million.      

     On February 25, 1993 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit
agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement").
Effective as of March 17, 1995 the Credit Agreement was amended to (1) extend
the maturity date from March 31, 1996 to October 31, 1998; (2) increase the
total maximum facility from $20.0 to $35.0 million, consisting of a loan
facility of $25.0 million and a letter of credit facility of $10.0 million; and
(3) to amend certain covenants to permit the Tender Offer and to take into
account the effect of the consummation of the Tender Offer on certain financial
ratios. At March 31, 1996 there were $2.0 million in advances outstanding and
$4.9 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

     Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement restrict the payment of
dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) on,
and repurchases of, Common Stock. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which
is generally the more 

                                       
<PAGE>
 
restrictive of these, the amount available for the payment of dividends on, and
repurchases of, Common Stock is limited to 25% of the Company's consolidated net
income arising after January 1, 1992, computed on a cumulative basis. In
addition, pursuant to a December 31, 1995 amendment to the Credit Agreement, the
Company may repurchase at any time prior to December 31, 1996 shares of its
Common Stock for an aggregate cost not exceeding $50.0 million including shares
purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Company may also purchase or
otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock from the proceeds of the substantially
concurrent sale of shares of Common Stock.

      On May 26, 1994 the Company announced that its Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company's Common
Stock for an aggregate purchase price not exceeding $6.0 million (the
"Repurchase Program"). On May 26, 1995 the Company announced an increase and
extension of the above Repurchase Program. The total number of shares authorized
for repurchase was increased to 1,500,000; the maximum aggregate purchase price
was increased to $11.0 million and the purchase period was extended through
December 31, 1996. To date the Company has repurchased on the open market
627,600 shares of its Common Stock at an average price of approximately $8.00
per share. The last such purchase was on December 6, 1995.

      At March 31, 1996 the Company's working capital was $95.6 million as
compared to $89.2 million at December 31, 1995 and its current ratio was 2.5 to
1.0 the same as at December 31, 1995. Long-term debt as a percent of total
capitalization was 17% at March 31, 1996 as compared to 16% at December 31,
1995. The increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in
inventory and receivables during the first quarter of 1996.
 
      The Company's capital expenditures during the first quarter 1996 were $3.5
million as compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter 1995. The Company's
current plans for capital expenditures in 1996 are approximately $13.5 million.
The Company believes its revolving credit facility and its cash and cash
equivalents will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditures, operating cash
needs and the principal payment on the Senior Notes in 1996.
