	NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except share numbers and per share amounts)
	NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
	Precision Drilling Corporation (Precision or the Corporation) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and is a provider of contract drilling and completion and production services primarily to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in Canada, the United States and certain international locations. The address of the registered office is Suite 800, 525 - 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1G1.
	NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	(a) Statement of Compliance
	These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.
	The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
	These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
	These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 21, 2021.
	(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements
	The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation of anticipated future events involves uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used in preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements may change as future events unfold, more experience is acquired, or the Corporation’s operating environment changes.
	Significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements remained unchanged from those disclosed in the Corporation’s consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. As described in Note 4 of the consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the resulting impact on the economy and in particular the prices of oil and natural gas, the estimates and judgements used to prepare these financial statements were subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty.
	NOTE 3. REVENUE
	(a) Disaggregation of revenue
	The following table includes a reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by reportable segment (Note 4). Revenue has been disaggregated by primary geographical market and type of service provided.

	(b) Seasonality
	Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 48% (2020 - 41%) of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 37% (2020 - 33%) of consolidated total assets as at March 31, 2021. The ability to move heavy equipment in Canadian oil and natural gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. As warm weather returns in the spring, the winter's frost comes out of the ground rendering many secondary roads incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment until they have thoroughly dried out. The duration of this “spring break-up” has a direct impact on Precision’s activity levels. In addition, many exploration and production areas in northern Canada are accessible only in winter months when the ground is frozen hard enough to support equipment. The timing of freeze up and spring break-up affects the ability to move equipment in and out of these areas. As a result, late March through May is traditionally Precision’s slowest time in this region.

	NOTE 5. IMPAIRMENT
	At March 31, 2021, Precision reviewed each of its Cash-Generating Units (CGU) and did not any identify indications of impairment and therefore, did not test its CGUs for impairment.
	NOTE 6. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER
	In response to the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19, governments enacted various employer assistance and economic stimulus programs. In the second quarter of 2020, the Government of Canada introduced the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program. For the period ended March 31, 2021, Precision recognized $9 million (2020 – nil) of salary and wage subsidies. Wage subsidies were presented as offsets to operating and general and administrative expense of $8 million (2020 – nil) and $1 million (2020 – nil), respectively.
7

	During the first quarter of 2020, Precision incurred restructuring charges of $10 million, comprised of severance and certain costs associated with the shutdown of its United States directional drilling operations. There were no restructuring charges incurred for the period ended March 31, 2021.

	Senior Credit Facility
	On April 9, 2020, Precision agreed with the lenders of its Senior Credit Facility to reduce the consolidated Covenant EBITDA to consolidated interest expense coverage ratio for the most recent four consecutive quarters from the greater than or equal to 1.25:1 for the periods ending March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2021, 1.75:1, for the period ending December 31, 2021, 2.0:1 for the period ending March 31, 2022 and 2.5:1 for periods ending thereafter.
	During the covenant relief period, Precision’s distributions in the form of dividends, distributions and share repurchases are restricted to a maximum of US$15 million in 2020 and US$25 million in each of 2021 and 2022, subject to a pro forma senior net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than or equal to 1.75:1.
	In addition, during 2021, the North American and acceptable secured foreign assets must directly account for at least 65% of consolidated Covenant EBITDA calculated quarterly on a rolling twelve-month basis, increasing to 70% thereafter. Precision also has the option to voluntarily terminate the covenant relief period prior to its March 31, 2022 end date.
	The Senior Credit Facility limits the redemption and repurchase of junior debt subject to a pro forma senior net leverage covenant test of less than or equal to 1.75:1.
	In addition, the Senior Credit Facility contains certain covenants that place restrictions on Precision’s ability to incur or assume additional indebtedness; dispose of assets; change Precision’s primary business; incur liens on assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and enter into speculative swap agreements.
	Canadian Real Estate Credit Facility
	In March 2021, Precision established a Canadian Real Estate Facility in the amount of $20 million. The facility matures in March 2026 and is secured by real properties in Alberta, Canada. Principal plus interest payments are due quarterly, based on 15-year straight-line amortization with any unpaid principal and accrued interest due at maturity. Interest is calculated using a CDOR rate plus margin.
	The Canadian Real Estate Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, customary for this type of transactions. Under the terms of the Canadian Real Estate Credit Facility, Precision must maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility, described above, as of the last day of each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters commencing June 30, 2021. In the event the Senior Credit Facility expires, is cancelled or is terminated, the consolidated interest coverage ratios in effect at that time shall remain in place for the remaining duration of the Canadian Real Estate Credit Facility.

	During the first quarter of 2021, Precision established a new tranche of non-management director DSUs whereby fully vested DSUs are granted quarterly based on an election by the non-management director to receive all or a portion of their compensation in DSUs. These DSUs are redeemable in cash upon the director’s retirement. Non-management directors can receive a lump sum cash payment or two separate cash payments any time up until December 15 of the year following retirement. If the non-management director does not specify a redemption date, the DSUs will be redeemed on a single date six months after retirement. The cash settlement amount is based on the weighted average trading price for Precision’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five days immediately prior to payout.

	(e) Non-Management Directors – Deferred Share Unit Plan
	Prior to January 1, 2012, Precision had a deferred share unit plan for non-management directors.

These deferred share units are redeemable into an equal number of common shares any time after the director's retirement.

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. Amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian and U.S. Real Estate Credit Facilities, measured at amortized cost, approximate fair value as this indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at March 31, 2021 was approximately $1,092 million (December 31, 2020 – $1,023 million).

	Financial assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs in the fair determination and are as follows:
	Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
	Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
	Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
	The estimated fair value of unsecured senior notes is based on level II inputs. The fair value is estimated considering the risk-free interest rates on government debt instruments of similar maturities, adjusted for estimated credit risk, industry risk and market risk premiums.
