      Pioneer Energy Services Reports First Quarter 2019 Results


      News provided by

      SAN ANTONIO, May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Energy Services (NYSE: PES) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. First quarter highlights include:

      • Domestic drilling fleet was fully contracted and generated an average margin per day of $10,944.
      • Production services revenues increased 6% sequentially, primarily driven by the coiled tubing revenue increase of 16%.
      • Deployed our newest 1,500 horsepower, super-spec, new-build drilling rig, which began operations in West Texas on a three-year term contract.

      Consolidated Financial Results

      Revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $146.6 million, up 4% from revenues of $141.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 ("the prior quarter"). Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $15.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.19 per share, in the prior quarter. Adjusted net loss(1) for the first quarter was $10.5 million, and adjusted EPS(2) was a loss of $0.13 per share. These results compare to an adjusted net loss of $13.6 million, and an adjusted EPS loss of $0.17 per share in the prior quarter. First quarter adjusted EBITDA(3) was $19.9 million, down from $20.8 million in the prior quarter.

      The increase in revenues from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase across all of our production services segments as operators resumed operations after temporarily slowing activity in the prior quarter as a result of lower commodity prices. Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially, primarily driven by the change in fair value of our phantom stock awards, for which we recognized an expense of $0.8 million in the first quarter, while we recognized a benefit of $2.8 million in the prior quarter. The impact of the phantom stock expense was partially offset by improvement in both the coiled tubing and domestic drilling segments as well as $1.1 million of gains from the sale of certain assets, primarily spare coiled tubing equipment.

      Operating Results

      Production Services Business

      Revenue from our production services business was $86.9 million in the first quarter, up 6% from the prior quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue from our production services business was 20% in the first quarter, up from 19% in the prior quarter. Both revenue and margin were positively impacted in all businesses as operators increased completion-related operations after a brief pause in activity in the prior quarter given instability in commodity prices.

      The increase in production services revenues from the prior quarter was attributable to improvements in all business segments, led by coiled tubing which benefited from the addition of a large diameter unit delivered late in the prior quarter. Wireline's completion-related activity stabilized over the prior quarter and well servicing gradually expanded its activity levels in both remedial and completion-related activity.

      Well servicing average revenue per hour was $558 in the first quarter, down from $571 in the prior quarter, while rig utilization was 54%, up from 50% in the prior quarter. Coiled tubing revenue days totaled 351 in the first quarter, as compared to 346 in the prior quarter. The number of wireline jobs completed in the first quarter decreased by 3% sequentially.

      Drilling Services Business

      Revenue from our drilling services business was $59.7 million in the first quarter, reflecting a 1% increase from the prior quarter. Average margin per day was $10,349, down from $10,872 in the prior quarter.

      Our domestic drilling fleet was fully contracted during the current quarter and the prior quarter with average revenues per day of $26,767 in the first quarter, up from $25,794 in the prior quarter. Domestic drilling average margin per day was $10,944 in the first quarter, up from $10,252 in the prior quarter due to the full impact of rate increases effective during the prior quarter as well as a benefit of $0.3 million, or approximately $235 per day, from recognition of the early termination of a domestic drilling contract due to a customer's budget realignment, which had 34 days remaining on its term. After contract termination, the drilling rig mobilized from South Texas and resumed operations for a new client in West Texas.

      International drilling rig utilization was 81% for the first quarter, up from 71% in the prior quarter. Average revenues per day were $37,316, down from $41,230 in the prior quarter, while average margin per day for the first quarter was $8,894, down from $12,590 in the prior quarter. The decrease in revenue per day and margin per day was primarily due to the benefit of revenue items negotiated during the prior quarter and reversal of demobilization revenue in the first quarter as a contract that was previously expected to terminate was extended.

      Currently, 16 of our 17 domestic drilling rigs are earning revenues, 13 of which are under term contracts, and seven of our eight rigs in Colombia are earning revenue under daywork contracts.

      Comments from our President and CEO 

      "As oil prices have steadily improved in 2019 and customers have resumed activity, we are seeing stable demand for our drilling and production services," said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We remain focused on achieving cash flow neutrality in 2019 as our capital spending program was more heavily weighted towards the first quarter, and our reduced spending program for the remainder of 2019 is primarily for routine capital expenditures. Also, we experienced a longer collection cycle in the first quarter, but we expect to improve our working capital position as we move forward through 2019.

      "In late March, we deployed our newest 1,500 horsepower, super-spec, new-build drilling rig, which began operations in West Texas on a three-year term contract. We believe our premium rigs are the best designed moving rigs in the market, helping customers continue to improve efficiency. By focusing on safety and performance with superior equipment, we have been able to generate industry-leading margins and have successfully extended the contract terms on several of our rigs. Our drilling services both domestically and in Colombia are benefiting from stable dayrates, extended contract coverage and solid customer demand. Internationally, the market outlook is currently strong, and we are having success extending contract coverage as our customers continue to have robust drilling programs through 2019.

      "Our production services business is experiencing healthy activity levels, although weather conditions in the Rockies negatively impacted our wireline business in February, and wildlife restrictions will impact activity in the Rockies in April and May. Customer demand for large diameter coiled tubing equipment contributed to a 16% increase in that segment's revenue in the first quarter as we benefited from the deployment of a large diameter unit at the end of the prior quarter. With commodity prices continuing to firm up, we expect improved activity levels for all business lines as we move through 2019."

      Second Quarter 2019 Guidance

      In the second quarter of 2019, revenue from our production services business segments is expected to be up 1% to 4% as compared to the first quarter of 2019. Margin from our production services business is estimated to be 19% to 22% of revenue. Domestic drilling services rig utilization is expected to be 93% to 95% as one rig will be idle during the second quarter as it prepares to move to a new client in July, and generate average margins per day of approximately $9,700 to $10,200. International drilling services rig utilization is estimated to average 83% to 86%, and generate average margins per day of approximately $8,500 to $9,500.

      We expect general and administrative expense to be approximately $20.0 million to $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, which as it relates to phantom stock compensation expense, is based on the closing price of our common stock of $1.77 per share at March 31, 2019.

      Liquidity

      Working capital at March 31, 2019 was $103.7 million, down from $110.3 million at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, were $27.9 million, down from $54.6 million at year-end 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we used $16.8 million of cash for the purchase of property and equipment, and our cash used in operations was $10.8 million.

      Capital Expenditures

      Cash capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $16.8 million, including capitalized interest. We estimate total cash capital expenditures for 2019 to be approximately $55 million to $60 million, which includes approximately $7 million for final payments on the construction of the new-build drilling rig that began operations in the first quarter, and previous commitments on high-pressure pump packages for coiled tubing completion operations.

We advise our shareholders that they should (1) recognize that important factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

      This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of each such measure to its most directly comparable U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measure, together with an explanation of why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, is provided in the following tables.

      _________________________________



      (1)

      Adjusted net loss represents net loss as reported adjusted to exclude impairments and the related tax benefit and valuation allowance adjustments on deferred tax assets. We believe that adjusted net loss is a useful measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted net loss may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss as reported to adjusted net loss is included in the tables to this news release.



      (2)

      Adjusted (diluted) EPS represents adjusted net loss divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive securities, if any. We believe that adjusted (diluted) EPS is a useful measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted (diluted) EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of diluted EPS as reported to adjusted (diluted) EPS is included in the tables to this news release.



      (3)

      Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment, and any loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities or (c) as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  A reconciliation of net loss as reported to adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables to this news release.

      (2)    Adjusted net loss represents net loss as reported adjusted to exclude impairments and the related tax benefit and valuation allowance adjustments on deferred tax assets. We believe that adjusted net loss is a useful measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted net loss may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss as reported to adjusted net loss is included in the table above.


      (3)    Adjusted (diluted) EPS represents adjusted net loss divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive securities, if any. We believe that adjusted (diluted) EPS is a useful measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted (diluted) EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of diluted EPS as reported to adjusted (diluted) EPS is included in the table above.
