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, 2021.

 

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, 2021.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2022.

 

(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, 2021.

(b)Seasonality

 

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 44% (2021 - 44%) of consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 36% (2021 - 36%) of consolidated total assets as at September 30, 2022. 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

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 September 30, 2022 was approximately $948 million (December 31, 2021 – $969 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. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On July 27, 2022, Precision acquired the well servicing business and associated rental assets (Acquired Operating Assets) of High Arctic Energy Services Inc. for consideration of $38 million. On the date of acquisition, Precision made a $10 million cash payment with the remaining balance of $28 million to be paid in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Included in the Completion and Production Services operating segment, the acquisition increased the size and scale of Precision’s operations within the Canadian well servicing industry, adding well-service rigs to its fleet along with related rental assets, ancillary support equipment, inventories, spares and operating facilities in key operating basins.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method, whereby the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (Acquired Net Assets) were recorded at their estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition. Precision relied on a third-party appraisal when determining the fair value of the Acquired Net Assets.

 

Precision incurred $1 million of various transaction costs related to the business combination, which were recognized as an expense in the statement of net earnings (loss). These costs were primarily related to advisory, legal, consulting and other transaction costs.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price:

 

(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)     
Cash   10,200 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   27,300 
Fair value of consideration transferred   37,500 
Acquired Assets     
Rig Equipment   32,796 
Buildings   3,804 
Vehicles   900 
Right-of-use assets   6,990 
Assumed Liabilities     
Lease obligations   (6,990)
Fair value of Acquired Net Assets   37,500 

 

Since the date of acquisition, depreciation of the acquired property, plant and equipment was recognized in the statement of net earnings (loss) in accordance with Precision’s existing depreciation policies for similar equipment types.

 

NOTE 12. OTHER MATTERS

 

During the second quarter of 2022, Precision experienced a well control event on a turnkey drilling job. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, Precision recognized revenue of nil and US$5 million of drilling-related operating costs, resulting in a US$5 million job loss. Additionally, the net book value of the damaged drilling rig was derecognized as a US$1 million charge to depreciation and amortization expense. As at September 30, 2022, Precision accrued US$19 million of associated well site clean-up and remediation costs and accrued estimated insurance recoveries of US$18 million. The provisions for the associated costs and insurance recoveries are based on management’s best estimates at September 30, 2022. As the assessment of damage is ongoing, the provisions may be subject to change.
