Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

HOUSTON, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The Company reported a net loss of $262 million, or $1.31 per share, for the third quarter of 2019, compared to a net loss of $75.0 million, or $0.34 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.  Excluding charges discussed below, the majority of which were non-cash, the net loss for the third quarter of 2019 would have been $52.9 million, or $0.27 per share.  Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 were $598 million, compared to $867 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We exceeded our expectation for cash flow generation during the third quarter.   We reduced our capital expenditures and, excluding charges discussed below, Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter exceeded capital expenditures by $74.9 million.  During the third quarter, we also reduced debt by $150 million, repurchased $75 million of our shares, and paid dividends totaling $7.8 million."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $340 million, or $1.65 per share, compared to a net loss of $120 million, or $0.55 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $2.0 billion, compared to $2.5 billion for the same period in 2018. 

Financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, include pre-tax charges totaling $260 million ($209 million after-tax or $1.05 per share).  These charges include asset impairment charges of $203 million primarily in our drilling and pressure pumping segments, $17.8 million of goodwill impairment charges at our Current Power and Great Plains Oilfield Rental businesses, $17.0 million primarily related to the write-off of inventory at MS Directional, $14.6 million related to inventory write-offs and severance at our Warrior Rig Technologies business, and $8.2 million related to the early repayment of debt.  The financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also include charges in the second quarter, which included a $12.7 million charge to reduce the carrying value on our balance sheet of a deposit placed in 2017 on future sand purchases and $3.6 million of bad debt expense. 

During the third quarter, the Company spent $75.0 million to repurchase 8.2 million shares, which brings the total repurchases through the first three quarters of 2019 to $225 million for 20.0 million shares under the Company's share repurchase program.  At September 30, 2019, $175 million remained under the Company's share repurchase authorization.   

Mr. Hendricks added, "As expected, operators slowed spending levels during the third quarter, which negatively impacted activity levels for both drilling and pressure pumping.  However, our rig count in the third quarter of 142 rigs was in line with our expectation.  We expect our rig count will stabilize near current levels and average 126 rigs for the fourth quarter, with some increase in the first quarter as operator budgets reset in 2020.

"Average rig revenue per operating day and average rig margin per day were $24,240 and $9,790, respectively, for the third quarter, both of which include the benefit of approximately $480 per operating day from $6.3 million of revenue from early contract terminations.  Average rig direct operating cost per operating day increased during the third quarter to $14,440 from $14,030 in the second quarter due to lower fixed cost absorption, and increases in items such as workers' compensation and medical insurance.  We expect these additional insurance costs will not repeat in the fourth quarter.

"During the third quarter, we incurred pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges in the contract drilling segment of $173 million related to the retirement of 36 legacy non-APEX® rigs and certain other drilling assets.  Given current market conditions combined with strong customer demand for super-spec drilling rigs, we believe the 36 rigs that were retired had limited commercial opportunity.  Our current, total rig fleet of 216 rigs includes 198 APEX® rigs of which we consider 150 to be super-spec rigs.  

"As of September 30, 2019, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $645 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 73 rigs operating under term contracts during the fourth quarter, and an average of 55 rigs operating under term contracts during the 12 months ending September 30, 2020.   

"In pressure pumping, lower activity levels and increased pricing pressure negatively impacted third quarter results.  Pressure pumping revenues for the third quarter were $209 million compared to $251 million in the second quarter, and gross profit was $32.3 million in the third quarter compared to $44.9 million in the second quarter.  We ended the third quarter with 14 active spreads, and we idled another spread early in the fourth quarter.  As pressure pumping activity is expected to fall further in the fourth quarter, we will continue to evaluate the economics of working versus idling spreads on a spread-by-spread basis.    

"During the third quarter, we incurred pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges in the pressure pumping segment of $20.5 million related to the retirement of approximately 300,000 horsepower.  During the third quarter, we undertook a thorough process to evaluate the economic opportunity for our fleet and concluded that in the current market the cost to reactivate this retired equipment would be prohibitive.  Any components from this retired equipment with remaining value will be used as parts to support our active equipment. 

"In directional drilling, revenues for the third quarter were $47.0 million compared to $50.2 million in the second quarter.  We had a negative gross margin of $9.2 million in the third quarter, which included the impact of a $17.0 million pre-tax, non-cash charge primarily related to the write-off of inventory.   

"In our Warrior Rig Technologies business, we implemented several cost cutting initiatives during the third quarter.  These initiatives included the transition away from our engineering and manufacturing efforts in Calgary, which resulted in a $12.4 million pre-tax, non-cash charge related to the write-off of inventory and $2.2 million for severance.    

Mr. Hendricks concluded, "Despite some primarily non-cash accounting charges during the third quarter, we generated strong cash flow.  We reduced our third quarter capex to only $68.0 million from $96.9 million in the second quarter, and we now expect capital expenditures of approximately $350 million in 2019, down from our prior estimate of $400 million." 

Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, "We remained disciplined with our capital allocation during the third quarter, and our strong financial position allowed us to focus on debt reduction and share repurchases.  During the third quarter, we reduced debt by $150 million, repurchased $75 million of our common stock, and paid dividends totaling $7.8 million.  Since the beginning of 2019, we have used our strong cash flow to repurchase 20.0 million shares or 9.4% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, and our net debt to total capital ratio was only 21.6% at the end of the third quarter.  

"Given our current public market equity valuation, our cash balance and expected future cash flow generation, we will likely allocate additional capital to both share repurchases and debt repayment," he concluded.

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.04 per share, payable on December 19, 2019, to holders of record as of December 5, 2019.

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

The dial-in information for participants is (844) 704-2496 (Domestic) and (647) 253-8661 (International).

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.
