Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2019

HOUSTON, Texas – February 6, 2020 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.  The Company reported a net loss of $85.9 million, or $0.44 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to a net loss of $201 million, or $0.93 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.  Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $492 million, compared to $796 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $426 million, or $2.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $321 million, or $1.47 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $2.5 billion, compared to $3.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018.  

During 2019, the Company spent $250 million to repurchase 22.6 million shares pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program.  The Company also reduced its long-term debt by $150 million during 2019 and extended debt maturities.  During the fourth quarter, the Company issued $350 million of senior, unsecured notes due 2029 in order to refinance $300 million of notes due 2022 and to reduce outstanding borrowings under a bank term loan.  The early repayment of notes due 2022 resulted in a pre-tax charge of $15.8 million during the fourth quarter.      

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We believe our rig count bottomed in the fourth quarter and will modestly increase in early-2020.  Lower than expected rig activity and higher than expected operating costs in the fourth quarter were the result of changes in our geographic mix and gaps in rig activity between jobs.  In the first quarter, increasing rig count in the Permian should more than offset lower activity in other markets.”

Mr. Hendricks continued, “In contract drilling, our rig count averaged 123 rigs in the fourth quarter, down from 142 rigs in the third quarter.  The decrease in activity primarily occurred early in the fourth quarter with our December rig count showing the first increase in a year.  For the first quarter, we expect activity will improve from December levels and result in an average rig count similar to the fourth quarter.  

“During the fourth quarter, the fluctuation in activity resulted in increased revenues and expenses associated with stacking rigs in some basins, while reactivating rigs in the Permian.  Additionally, gaps in the work schedule resulted in some rigs being stacked early in the quarter and being reactivated later in the quarter, which required us to carry extra labor while the rigs were not generating revenue or operating days.  Therefore, average rig revenue per operating day and average rig direct operating cost per day of $23,980 and $15,540, respectively, were both higher than expected.      

“As of December 31, 2019, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $605 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 77 rigs operating under term contracts during the first quarter and an average of 58 rigs operating under term contracts during 2020.  

“In pressure pumping, our gross profit was $21.9 million for the fourth quarter, which included the benefit of a $10.8 million sales tax refund that reduced direct operating costs.  We started the fourth quarter with 14 active spreads and stacked one spread in October and two spreads in November, as activity declined throughout the quarter.  We expect to average 10 active spreads for the first quarter and will be negatively impacted by the sudden operational stoppage of a major oil company customer, however, due to the actions we have taken and continue to take, we believe that pressure pumping results should improve later in the year.  


“In directional drilling, as we expected, a steep drop in fourth quarter activity resulted in revenues falling to $38.6 million in the fourth quarter from $47.0 million in the third quarter.  Lower activity levels, combined with higher than expected expenses for repairs and maintenance, contributed to a lower than expected gross margin of $3.8 million for the fourth quarter.”    

Mr. Hendricks concluded, “Based on our current outlook for 2020 activity, we expect to spend approximately $250 million of capex for the year, down from $348 million in 2019.  Our capex budget is primarily focused on maintenance spending to preserve the service quality for our customers and the earnings power of our assets.”  

Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, “In 2019, Patterson-UTI proactively responded to tough market conditions.  We reduced capital spending by 46% and focused spending on maintaining the high quality of our equipment.  We also made strategic investments in automation and performance technologies, a number of which will come to the market in 2020.

“In 2019, we generated strong cash flow and further strengthened our financial position.  During the year, we spent $250 million to reduce our number of outstanding shares by more than 10%, and we reduced our long-term debt by $150 million” he concluded.

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.04 per share, payable on March 19, 2020, to holders of record as of March 5, 2020.

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.
