HOUSTON, July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The Company reported a net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the second quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $92.2 million, or $0.46 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $854 million, compared to $579 million for the second quarter of 2017. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $45.1 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to a net loss of $156 million, or $0.86 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $1.7 billion, compared to $884 million for the same period in 2017.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.7 million of its outstanding shares for $33.6 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million of its outstanding shares for $50.5 million under its share repurchase authorization.  Subsequent to the quarter-end, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase of its share repurchase authorization to allow for $250 million of future share repurchases.

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In contract drilling, our average rig count increased by seven to 176 rigs during the second quarter.  With strong demand for super-spec rigs, we expect our rig count will continue to increase and average 180 rigs during the third quarter."

Mr. Hendricks added, "Average rig margin per day increased by a better than expected $700 to $8,270 for the second quarter.  The $330 per day sequential increase in average rig revenue per day and the decrease in average rig operating costs per day were both better than expected.  For the second quarter, average rig revenue per day was $21,870 and average rig operating costs per day were $13,610. 

"We recently signed customer contracts to deliver four additional rigs with major upgrades to super-spec for the Permian Basin.  The favorable dayrates and four-year term durations of these contracts provide compelling economics, and are expected to pay back the capital investment within the terms of the contracts.  Since the beginning of 2018, we have delivered nine rigs with major upgrades, and we have customer contracts to deliver an additional seven rigs with major upgrades through early 2019. 

"As of June 30, 2018, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $680 million of future dayrate drilling revenue, an increase from approximately $600 million at March 31, 2018.  Since June 30, 2018, we have signed contracts providing for more than $200 million of additional future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 119 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter, and an average of 81 rigs operating under term contracts during the 12 months ending June 30, 2019. 

"While the industry market for super-spec drilling rigs is tight, the completions market showed signs of oversupply towards the end of the second quarter.  In pressure pumping, our revenues for the second quarter were $425 million compared to $407 million for the first quarter.  Gross profit for the second quarter was $82.4 million compared to $85.8 million for the first quarter.  Both revenues and gross profit in pressure pumping were lower than we expected due to operational delays late in the quarter at multiple well sites, unrelated to our pressure pumping operations.  The softening market conditions made it difficult to backfill the unexpectedly high amount of idle time.   

"During the second quarter, we activated two frac spreads, the first of which was created early in the second quarter from already active equipment.  The second frac spread was activated late in the second quarter, and therefore did not significantly contribute to second quarter revenues.  Based on current market conditions, we do not plan to reactivate additional frac spreads at this time.

"In directional drilling, revenues for the second quarter were $52.7 million compared to $48.6 million for the first quarter.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 17.1% compared to 22.5% during the first quarter.  Activity improved in the second quarter, but margins continue to be negatively impacted by third party rental expense resulting from ongoing delays in the delivery of various components." 

Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, "With relatively high oil prices, industry demand for super-spec rigs remains strong.  In contract drilling, which generated approximately two-thirds of our consolidated EBITDA in the second quarter, we expect further improvement in both dayrates and activity.  In pressure pumping, we are seeing industry softness due to oversupply, and because some E&P companies' activity and capital spend are ahead of budget.  We believe the pressure pumping issues are short-term in nature, and we remain positive on the long-term outlook for the business. 

"Our 2018 capex budget remains unchanged at $675 million.  With compelling economics for super-spec rigs, we are allocating additional capital to contract drilling.  At the same time, in pressure pumping, improvements in our fleet maintenance operations have allowed us to reduce our capex." 

Mr. Siegel continued, "Patterson-UTI is the only company in the U.S. unconventional market with significant scale in the critical-path businesses of super-spec rigs, pressure pumping, and directional drilling.  We continue to see great value in our company – our equipment, people, and operations.  Accordingly, we capitalized on opportunities during the first half of the year to repurchase $50.5 million worth of outstanding shares including $33.6 million in the second quarter.  We will continue to balance capex opportunities with returning capital to shareholders in order to seek the best long-term returns for our shareholders," he concluded.

The financial results for the second quarter of 2018 include a $3.5 million pre-tax gain ($2.0 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share) related to the collection of a note receivable.

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.04 per share, to be paid on September 20, 2018, to holders of record as of September 6, 2018.

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

The Company's quarterly conference call to discuss the operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, is scheduled for today, July 26, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time. The dial-in information for participants is (844) 704-2496 (Domestic) and (647) 253-8661 (International).  The conference ID for both numbers is 6948609.  The call is also being webcast and can be accessed through the Investor Relations section at investor.patenergy.com.  A replay of the conference call will be on the Company's website for two weeks.

(1)

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 expense (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.
