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 and geothermal exploration and production companies in Canada, the United States and certain international locations.

 

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, 2022.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as noted in Note 2 (c).

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2023.

 

(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 annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interests in equity-accounted investees

 

An associate is an entity for which the Corporation has significant influence and thereby has the power to participate in the financial and operational decisions but does not control or jointly control the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for the proportionate share of the investee's net assets. The Corporation's consolidated financial statements include its share of the investee's net earnings (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) until the date that significant influence ceases.

Seasonality

 

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 45% (2022 – 43%) of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 37% (2022 35%) of consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2023. 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 4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Corporation has two reportable operating segments; Contract Drilling Services and Completion and Production Services. Contract Drilling Services includes drilling rigs, procurement and distribution of oilfield supplies, and manufacture, sale and repair of drilling equipment. Completion and Production Services includes service rigs, oilfield equipment rental and camp and catering services. The Corporation provides services primarily in Canada, the United States and certain international locations.

NOTE 10. 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. At the end of each reporting period, investments and other assets are measured at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian and U.S. Real Estate Credit Facilities are measured at amortized cost and approximate fair value as this indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at June 30, 2023 was approximately $939 million (December 31, 2022 – $965 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 value 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.

 

NOTE 11. INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS

 

On April 6, 2023, Precision committed to a $5 million equity investment in CleanDesign Income Corp. (CleanDesign), a key supplier of Precision’s EverGreen™ Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The investment provides Precision with access to BESS and power management technologies and is aligned with the Company’s overall emissions reduction strategy.

 

During the second quarter of 2023, Precision partially settled its $5 million commitment with a $2 million cash payment and converted $1 million of deposits held by CleanDesign. The remaining balance of $2 million was subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2023. Precision received common shares and warrants to acquire additional common shares. The investment in CleanDesign has been accounted for as an equity investment.
