      SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Energy Services (NYSE: PES) today reported financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Financial and operational highlights include: 

      • Two new-build drilling rigs were added in the fourth quarter and one more has been added since year end;
      • Four well servicing rigs and two coiled tubing units have been added since the end of the third quarter;
      • All eight drilling rigs in Colombia are operating under contract;
      • 43 of the Company's 59 working drilling rigs, or 73%, are operating under term drilling contracts;
      • 93% of our working drilling rigs and 78% of production services assets are operating on wells that are targeting or producing oil or liquids-rich natural gas.

      Consolidated Financial Results

      Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $227.9 million, flat when compared to revenues in the third quarter of 2012 ("the prior quarter") and a 12% increase over $203.7 million of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 ("the year-earlier quarter"). The increase from the year-earlier quarter was primarily due to fleet additions in both the Drilling Services Segment and the Production Services Segment and to the contribution from our coiled tubing business acquired at year end 2011.

      Net income for the fourth quarter was $3.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with $2.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the year-earlier quarter.

      Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $60.3 million, an 8% increase from $55.6 million in the prior quarter and a 9% increase from $55.5 million in the year-earlier quarter.

      Operating Results

      Drilling Services Segment

      Revenue for the Drilling Services Segment was $129.9 million in the fourth quarter, a 3% increase from the prior quarter and a 9% increase from the year-earlier quarter. Fourth quarter utilization was 87%, up slightly from the prior quarter, and flat with the year-earlier quarter.

      We deployed two new-build drilling rigs in the fourth quarter and one more rig thus far in 2013 which brings our current fleet count to 70 drilling rigs. Our drilling rig fleet count has fluctuated due to the addition of eight new-build rigs, offset by the retirement of seven lower horsepower rigs effective September 30, 2011 and two more rigs effective March 31, 2012. We are currently deploying our ninth drilling rig and we plan to deploy the tenth new-build drilling rig by the end of the first quarter of 2013.

      Average drilling revenues per day in the fourth quarter were $23,967, compared to $24,101 in the prior quarter and $23,169 in the year-earlier quarter. The slight sequential decrease was primarily due to lower average drilling revenues per day during the initial mobilization period for two rigs deployed in Colombia and due to moderate pricing pressure in the U.S. market. The decrease in average drilling revenues per day was partially offset by the impact of the new-build rigs and higher turnkey revenues. Drilling Services margin(2) per day was $8,103 in the fourth quarter as compared to $7,187 in the prior quarter and $7,686 in the year-earlier quarter. Drilling Services margin per day was higher than both of the comparative periods primarily due to the earnings benefit of deploying our new-build rigs. Additionally, our continued focus on safety performance helped us lower expenses and enhance margin.

      Production Services Segment

      Revenue for the Production Services Segment was $98.0 million in the fourth quarter, down 6% from the prior quarter and up 16% from the year-earlier quarter. Revenue declined sequentially as expected due to fewer daylight working hours, holiday downtime and a pull back by some clients on spending at year-end. Production Services margin(2) as a percentage of revenue was 38%, compared to 37% in the prior quarter and 42% in the year-earlier quarter. Well servicing rig utilization declined to 83% from 91% in the prior quarter and 86% in the year-earlier quarter, while pricing was $601 per hour in the fourth quarter compared to $606 in the prior quarter and $577 in the year-earlier quarter. 

      "We have almost completed our new-build drilling rig program, with our final two rigs scheduled to go to work by the end of the first quarter," said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and CEO of Pioneer Energy Services.  "We have been pleased with the program and over time have reduced the initial start-up costs associated with deploying each new rig. They are performing well, and under their multi-year contracts, they will generate substantial cash flows to support our shift in strategy towards debt reduction in 2013. 

      "In Colombia, we again have all eight drilling rigs working with six of these rigs working under contract extensions through March.  We are currently in discussions with our client on contract renewal terms. 

      "Fourth quarter Drilling Services Segment utilization was better than expected despite some reductions in client spending. We continue to see some pricing pressure on our drilling operations in South Texas and West Texas, but we believe prices could be stabilizing in other regions of the U.S. In the first quarter of 2013, we expect drilling rig utilization to average between 81% and 83% and Drilling Services Segment margin to be approximately $7,300 to $7,600 per day.

      "Operating results for our Production Services Segment in the fourth quarter were impacted by typical seasonality and year-end client slow-downs.  We added four well servicing rigs and two coiled tubing units in the fourth quarter and we expect to add another well servicing rig in the first quarter of 2013.  We saw some improvement in the operating results of our coiled tubing business as we continued to focus on driving better performance of that group. 

      "We believe pricing has stabilized in most areas for Production Services and we could see some improved activity later in the year as clients resume spending. Production Services revenues in the first quarter are expected to be flat, and margin as a percentage of revenues is expected be flat to down 2% as compared to the fourth quarter. In Production Services, the first quarter is typically the weakest quarter of the year," Locke said.

      Liquidity

      Working capital was $62.2 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $129.9 million at December 31, 2011. Our cash and cash equivalents at year-end 2012 were $23.7 million, down from $86.2 million at year-end 2011. 

      The change in cash and cash equivalents during 2012 was primarily due to $364.3 million used for purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $199.4 million of cash provided by operating activities and $99.1 million of net proceeds from debt borrowings.

      As of January 31, 2013 we had $100 million outstanding and $9.0 million in committed letters of credit under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility, leaving borrowing availability of $141 million.

      Capital Expenditures

      Cash capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $73.3 million, including capitalized interest, bringing capital expenditures for the full year to $364.3 million. We estimate our total capital expenditures in 2013 will be between $140 million and $160 million.  The 2013 capital expenditure budget includes funding for the completion of the remaining new-build drilling rigs, upgrades to certain drilling rigs, additional Production Services equipment and routine capital expenditures. We expect to fund this lower capital expenditure program from operating cash flow in excess of our working capital requirements, and we plan to reduce debt levels.

      Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

      Statements we make in this news release that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, could differ materially from those we express in this news release as a result of a variety of factors, including general economic and business conditions and industry trends; levels and volatility of oil and gas prices; decisions about onshore exploration and development projects to be made by oil and gas exploration and production companies; risks associated with economic cycles and their impact on capital markets and liquidity; the continued demand for the drilling services or production services in the geographic areas where we operate; the highly competitive nature of our business; our future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; future compliance with covenants under our senior secured revolving credit facility and our senior notes; the supply of marketable drilling rigs, well servicing rigs, coiled tubing and wireline units within the industry; the continued availability of drilling rig, well servicing rig, coiled tubing and wireline unit components; the continued availability of qualified personnel; the success or failure of our acquisition strategy, including our ability to finance acquisitions, manage growth and effectively integrate acquisitions; and changes in, or our failure or inability to comply with, governmental regulations, including those relating to the environment. We have discussed many of these factors in more detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These factors are not necessarily all the important factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unknown factors we have not discussed in this news release, or in our annual report on Form 10-K, could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  We advise our shareholders that they should (1) be aware 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 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 EBITDA is a financial measure that is not in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered (i) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (ii) as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or (iii) as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and any impairments. We use this measure, together with our GAAP financial metrics, to assess our financial performance and evaluate our overall progress towards meeting our long-term financial objectives. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is included in the tables to this press release.

      Drilling Services margin represents contract drilling revenues less contract drilling operating costs. Production Services margin represents production services revenue less production services operating costs.  We believe that Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin are useful measures for evaluating financial performance, although they are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. However, Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin are common measures of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and Pioneer's management. A reconciliation of Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin to net income (loss) as reported is included in the table on the following page. Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.


      (2)

      Drilling Services margin per revenue day represents the Drilling Services' average revenue per revenue day less average operating costs per revenue day.


      (3)

      Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered (i) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (ii) as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or (iii) as a measure of liquidity.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and any impairments. We use this measure, together with our GAAP financial metrics, to assess our financial performance and evaluate our overall progress towards meeting our long-term financial objectives. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is set forth below.
