Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

HOUSTON, Texas – October 22, 2020 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The Company reported a net loss of $112 million, or $0.60 per share, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $262 million, or $1.31 per share, for the third quarter of 2019.  Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $207 million, compared to $598 million for the third quarter of 2019.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $697 million, or $3.70 per share, compared to a net loss of $340 million, or $1.65 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $903 million, compared to $2.0 billion for the same period in 2019.

 

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our financial results during the third quarter exceeded our expectations across all of our business segments, as drilling and completion activity stabilized during the third quarter.  We further strengthened our financial position during the third quarter as our cash position increased by $57 million to $304 million.  Based on our customer engagement, we expect activity will continue to improve through at least the first quarter of 2021.  Assuming commodity prices remain around current levels, we expect our profitability will be at or near an inflection point in the fourth quarter and move higher in early-2021.”

 

Mr. Hendricks continued, “In contract drilling, our average rig count for the third quarter of 60 rigs slightly exceeded our expectation.  For the fourth quarter, we expect that our rig count will average 61 rigs, with a lower proportion of idle but contracted rigs as customers reactivate rigs during the fourth quarter.  We expect the rig count at the end of the year to be 63 rigs, of which approximately 10% will be idle but contracted.  

 

“Average rig margin per day during the third quarter was $10,170, which included benefits from lump sum early termination revenue and a credit to operating costs for sales and use taxes.  Excluding these items, average rig margin per day would have been $8,990, which exceeded our expectation.    

 

“As of September 30, 2020, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $305 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 43 rigs operating under term contracts during the fourth quarter, and an average of 35 rigs operating under term contracts during the four quarters ending September 30, 2021.  

 

“In pressure pumping, activity levels improved as we averaged five active spreads during the third quarter compared to four active spreads in the second quarter.  With the higher than expected activity during the third quarter, pressure pumping revenues improved 21% sequentially to $72.0 million.  Adjusted EBITDA improved to $6.2 million during the third quarter and exceeded pressure pumping capital expenditures of $1.7 million.    

 

“In directional drilling, revenues were $10.3 million, and operating margin was $0.5 million.  Results improved during the quarter, as we were able to increase activity and gain market share in what was essentially a flat rig market during the quarter.  The market share increase was a result of the enhanced performance of our new technology, the Mercury™ measurement while drilling system and new Mpact® directional drilling motor sizes, which were introduced in the first quarter of the year.”    

 


Mr. Hendricks continued, “Technology and performance will be an increasing differentiator, and we continue to move forward with remote operations capabilities for reduced costs, and automation technologies for improved performance and repeatability.  These improvements are enabled by the high-frequency data and metadata originating from the wellsite operations, as well as by digitalizing our processes and workflow.  These technology investments are capital-light and operate in a cloud data environment where, for example, in contract drilling and directional drilling, they can be added to our combined high-performance, super-spec rigs and directional systems.  

 

“We are also seeing increased interest in a number of our technology solutions as operators focus on ESG and carbon emission reductions.  We believe we have a leadership position in these technologies, including lithium battery hybrid-energy storage and automated energy transfer system, which reduce costs and lower emissions through the use of alternative energy sources.

 

“As always, we continue to focus on prudent capital stewardship and bolstering our already strong financial position.  Our liquidity improved to more than $900 million at September 30, 2020, including an increase of $57 million of cash to $304 million of cash and $600 million of availability under our undrawn revolver.  Patterson-UTI is well positioned to emerge from this downturn even stronger.”

 

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.02 per share, payable on December 17, 2020 to holders of record as of December 3, 2020.

 

Financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include pre-tax charges during the first two quarters totaling $461 million, consisting of $423 million of non-cash impairment charges and $38.3 million of restructuring costs.  Partially offsetting these charges is a pre-tax gain in the second quarter of $4.2 million included in other operating income from the realization of insurance proceeds.  The financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include pre-tax charges totaling $276 million.  

 

All references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax benefit and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill). We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies.
