Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for Three and Six
Months Ended June 30, 2015
HOUSTON, Texas – July 23, 2015 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company reported a net loss of $19.0 million, or $0.13 per share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $54.3 million, or $0.37 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $473 million, compared to $757 million for the second quarter of 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company reported a net loss of $9.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to net income of $89.1 million, or $0.61 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were $1.1 billion, compared to $1.4 billion for the same period in 2014.
Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Market conditions were difficult during the second quarter as the rapid decline in the industry rig count created many challenges. We managed through these challenges with a focus on scaling our business and reducing our cost structure. I am pleased with our ongoing cost cutting efforts in contract drilling, and especially within our pressure pumping segment where cost reductions resulted in better than expected margins.
Mr. Hendricks added, “During the second quarter, our rig count averaged 122 rigs in the United States and two rigs in Canada, compared to the first quarter average of 165 rigs in the United States and eight in Canada. The rig count appears to be stabilizing in the United States, and as such we expect our average rig count in July will be consistent with our second quarter exit rate of 110 rigs in the United States. In Canada, we expect our average rig count in July will increase to three rigs, which represents a limited seasonal recovery.
“We recognized $15.6 million of revenues related to early contract terminations in contract drilling during the second quarter. These early termination revenues positively impacted our total average rig revenue per day of $25,720 by $1,390. Excluding early termination revenue, total average rig revenue per day during the second quarter would have been $24,330, compared to $24,850 per day in the first quarter.
“Total average rig operating costs per day during the second quarter were essentially flat at $13,720 compared to the first quarter. Excluding the positive impact from early termination revenues in both the first and second quarters, total average rig margin per day was $10,600 during the second quarter, compared to $11,140 during the first quarter.
“We completed seven new APEX® rigs during the second quarter, bringing our APEX® rig fleet to 158 rigs at the end of the quarter. We plan to complete three additional APEX® rigs in the second half of 2015, all of which are under contract.
“As of June 30, 2015, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $1.0 billion of future dayrate drilling revenue. Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 85 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter, and an average of 77 rigs operating under term contracts during the second half of 2015.
“In pressure pumping, during the second quarter we realized the benefit of our efforts to reduce input costs. Pressure pumping EBITDA was $29.5 million compared to $31.9 million in the first quarter, but was better than expected as lower input costs largely offset reduced pricing and utilization. As a percentage of revenues, pressure pumping EBITDA margins increased to 16.7% from 12.8% in the first quarter,” he concluded.
Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, “I am pleased with the promptness by which we responded to the downturn in our industry, the effort put forth to reduce our cost structure, and the degree by which we were able to scale our business for the lower level of activity in both drilling and pressure pumping.
“Although we have no visibility into a recovery at this time, we believe that our rig count appears to be stabilizing. We will remain vigilant in ensuring that our cost structure and business are appropriately scaled. Financially, we believe our strong balance sheet and expected cash flow position us to take advantage of future opportunities,” he concluded.
The financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 include a pretax non-cash impairment charge of $4.1 million related to the impairment of certain oil and natural gas properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, financial results include the aforementioned charge plus a $3.4 million pretax non-cash charge in the first quarter related to the impairment of certain oil and natural gas properties, and a $12.3 million charge in the first quarter, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and is related to a previously disclosed legal settlement.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.10 per share, to be paid on September 24, 2015 to holders of record as of September 10, 2015.
