Parker Drilling Reports 2016 First Quarter Results
HOUSTON, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, including a reported net loss of $95.8 million, or a $0.78 loss per share, on revenues of $130.5 million.
The net loss includes a $73.1 million non-cash valuation allowance taken primarily against U.S. domestic deferred tax assets largely consisting of U.S. federal net operating losses. The valuation allowance accounted for $0.60 of the reported loss per share. While the carry-forwards have been reserved on the Company's financial statements, they have not expired and remain available to offset future cash taxes.
Excluding this valuation allowance, the adjusted net loss was $22.7 million, or an $0.18 loss per share.
First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $12.6 million, compared with $28.6 million for the preceding quarter.
“Operating results for the first quarter were generally in-line with our expectations,” said Gary Rich, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. “Weak market conditions have continued to prevail as low commodity prices curtailed customer activity across multiple geographic markets. We continue to maintain solid operational execution while prudently managing expenses to minimize the margin compression the downturn has caused across all of our business segments.
“During the quarter we extended the contracts for three of our drilling rigs in Kazakhstan that were scheduled to end mid-2016. One of the contracts was extended to the end of 2016 and two were extended to the end of 2017. Our balance sheet remains strong with a cash position of $108.4 million and an undrawn revolver. Looking forward, our 2016 second quarter results are expected to be weaker than the first quarter as utilization and pricing continue to remain under pressure. However, our cash management efforts and strong customer relationships should continue to position the Company for recovery and growth in the future,” concluded Rich.
First Quarter Review
Parker Drilling’s revenues for the 2016 first quarter, compared with the 2015 fourth quarter, decreased 12.2 percent to $130.5 million from $148.7 million, operating gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense (gross margin) decreased 34.7 percent to $22.4 million from $34.3 million and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 17.2 percent, compared with 23.1 percent for the prior period.
Drilling Services
For the Company’s Drilling Services business, which is comprised of the U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling and International & Alaska Drilling segments, revenues declined 8.4 percent to $90.7 million from $99.0 million, gross margin decreased 23.9 percent to $15.6 million from $20.5 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 17.2 percent, compared with 20.7 percent for the prior period.
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling segment revenues were $2.1 million compared to $3.5 million in the 2015 fourth quarter. Gross margin was a $3.3 million loss as compared with a 2015 fourth quarter loss of $2.2 million. The declines in revenues and gross margin were primarily the result of lower utilization.
International & Alaska Drilling
International & Alaska Drilling segment revenues were $88.6 million, a 7.2 percent decrease from 2015 fourth quarter revenues of $95.5 million. Gross margin was $18.9 million, a 16.4 percent decrease from 2015 fourth quarter gross margin of $22.6 million. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 21.3 percent as compared with 23.7 percent in the 2015 fourth quarter. The decrease in revenues and gross margin were attributable to lower rig utilization and lower realized dayrates partially offset by higher project services activities.
Rental Tools Services
Rental Tools segment revenues were $39.8 million, a 20.1 percent decrease from 2015 fourth quarter revenues of $49.8 million. Gross margin was $6.8 million, a 50.7 percent decrease from 2015 fourth quarter gross margin of $13.8 million. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 17.1 percent as compared with 27.7 percent in the 2015 fourth quarter. Reduced revenues and gross margin were primarily due to the continued decline in both the U.S. offshore and land drilling activity, as well as lower activity in certain international markets.
Consolidated
General and Administrative expenses were $9.8 million for the 2016 first quarter, up from $6.9 million for the 2015 fourth quarter. The increase in General and Administrative expenses was primarily due to reduced employee benefit expenses in the fourth quarter that did not recur, incentive plan adjustments, and higher professional fees.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter were $7.9 million.

(1) We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, tax consequences, impairment and other special items. Special items include items impacting operating expenses that management believes detract from an understanding of normal operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance and period to period comparisons. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(2) For the three months ended December 31, 2015, special items include a $1.3 million write-off of inventory associated with our decision to no longer provide drilling services in Colombia. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Management views the adjustments to Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest and Earnings per Diluted Share to be items outside of the Company’s normal operating results. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Controlling Interest and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Net Income (Loss) or Earnings per Diluted Share. | |||||||||||||
