      SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Energy Services (NYSE: PES) today reported financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2013. Highlights include: 

      • Production Services Segment revenue was $112.2 million in the fourth quarter, down by 1% from the prior quarter.
      • Well servicing rigs achieved an 85% utilization rate and an average hourly rate of $648.
      • Drilling Services Segment margin per day was $8,518, up 6% over the prior quarter.
      • Drilling rig utilization is currently 85%, with 42 of our 53 working rigs, or 79%, under term contracts.
      • Contracts for all eight drilling rigs in Colombia renewed through the end of 2014.
      • Debt reduction of $35 million during the fourth quarter.

      Consolidated Financial Results

      Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $238.2 million, down 2% from revenues of $244.0 million in the third quarter of 2013 ("the prior quarter") and up 5% from revenues of $227.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 ("the year-earlier quarter"). Revenues in the fourth quarter decreased as compared to the prior quarter due to three rigs in Colombia that were earning a lower standby dayrate for part of the quarter, as well as slightly lower utilization for our Production Services Segment due to typical seasonality.

      Net loss for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.10 per share in the prior quarter and net income of $3.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the year-earlier quarter. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $55.8 million, down 6% from $59.4 million in the prior quarter and down 7% from $60.3 million in the year-earlier quarter.

      Operating Results

      Drilling Services Segment

      Revenue for the Drilling Services Segment was $126.0 million in the fourth quarter, a 4% decrease from the prior quarter and a 3% decrease from the year-earlier quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to more standby revenue in Colombia and a decrease in utilization to 86% in the fourth quarter, from prior quarter utilization of 89%, which is adjusted to exclude the eight idle drilling rigs that were held for sale at the end of the third quarter.

      Currently, 53 drilling rigs are earning revenues, 42 of which, or 79%, are under term contracts. All eight of our drilling rigs in Colombia are currently under term contracts that extend through the end of 2014, seven of which are currently working. The remaining rig will begin working under its term contract after undergoing an upgrade to increase its horsepower from 1,000 to 1,500 horsepower, which we expect will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

      Average drilling revenues per day in the fourth quarter were $25,567, up slightly from $25,325 in the prior quarter and up from $23,967 in the year-earlier quarter.  The quarter-over-quarter increase in average revenues per day is primarily due to increases in reimbursements of operator bonuses paid to rig employees, revenues for boiler equipment used during winter months and turnkey revenues.  The increase over the year-earlier quarter was primarily due to higher dayrates generated by our new-build drilling rigs and increased utilization in Colombia, as our Colombian operations have higher revenues per day than our U.S. drilling rigs.

      Drilling Services Segment margin(2) per day was $8,518 in the fourth quarter, up 6% from $8,056 in the prior quarter and up 5% from $8,103 in the year-earlier quarter. Dayrate pricing in the U.S. during the fourth quarter remained steady. The increase in Drilling Services margin per day in the fourth quarter was due to an increase in boiler equipment revenues and gains on fixed asset disposals, primarily reimbursement of damaged drill pipe.

      Production Services Segment

      Revenue for the Production Services Segment was $112.2 million in the fourth quarter, down 1% from the prior quarter and up 14% from the year-earlier quarter. The increase in revenues from the year-earlier quarter was generated mostly by our wireline and well servicing operations which had higher utilization and pricing during the latest quarter. Well servicing pricing was $648 per hour in the fourth quarter, up from $628 in the prior quarter and $601 in the year-earlier quarter. The increase in well service pricing was offset primarily by increased labor costs when comparing fourth quarter to the prior quarter. Well servicing rig utilization decreased to 85% in the fourth quarter, versus 90% in the prior quarter and was up slightly from 83% in the year-earlier quarter. Coiled tubing unit utilization was 49% in the fourth quarter, down from 53% in the prior quarter and down slightly from 52% in the year-earlier quarter.

      Production Services Segment margin(2) as a percentage of revenue was 34% in the fourth quarter, down from 36% in the prior quarter and 38% in the year-earlier quarter.

      Comments from Our President and CEO

      "We were pleased that our fourth quarter results were less affected by seasonality than expected, as activity levels remained steady and pricing held firm in our Production Services Segment," said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and CEO of Pioneer Energy Services. "In our U.S. Drilling Services Segment, utilization held steady and margins had a modest improvement in the fourth quarter. 

      "2014 is off to a good start with strong activity levels in both our Drilling and Production Services Segments. In Colombia, we renewed our contracts with Ecopetrol for all eight drilling rigs at slightly higher day rates and we agreed to upgrade one of the rigs to 1,500 horsepower.  After this upgrade, all eight rigs in Colombia will be 1,500 horsepower electric rigs with top-drives and walking or skidding systems.

      "We plan to make modest fleet additions in our Production Services Segment in 2014 including three wireline units, three well service rigs and one offshore coiled tubing unit. Most of these fleet additions are expected to occur in the second quarter.

      "Since May 2013, we paid down $60 million of the outstanding balance under our revolver and we expect to continue reducing debt this year," concluded Locke.

      First Quarter Guidance

      In the first quarter of 2014, drilling rig utilization is expected to average between approximately 83% and 86%, based on a fleet of 62 rigs. Drilling Services Segment margin is expected to be approximately $8,000 to $8,300 per day.

      Production Services Segment revenue in the first quarter is expected to be flat compared to the fourth quarter. Production Services Segment margin as a percentage of revenues is expected to be up 1% to 2% as compared to the fourth quarter.

      Liquidity

      Working capital at December 31, 2013 was $118.5 million, up from $62.2 million at December 31, 2012. Our cash and cash equivalents were $27.4 million, up from $23.7 million at year-end 2012. 

      The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to $174.6 million of cash provided by operating activities and $13.8 million of proceeds from the sale of assets, which was mostly offset by $165.4 million used for purchases of property and equipment and $20.9 million used to repay debt, net of additional borrowings during the year.

      We currently have $80.0 million outstanding and $14.0 million in committed letters of credit under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility.

      Capital Expenditures

      Cash capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $27.4 million, including capitalized interest. We estimate that our total cash capital expenditures in 2014 will be approximately $115 million to $125 million. The total 2014 capital expenditure budget includes upgrades to certain drilling rigs, additional production services equipment and routine capital expenditures.

      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 the following discussion 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 exploration and development projects to be made by oil and gas exploration and production companies, economic cycles and their impact on capital markets and liquidity, the continued demand for 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, changes in technology and improvements in our competitors' equipment, 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, 2013. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2013 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.

      Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not in accordance with GAAP, and 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. 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) as reported is included in the tables to this press release.



      (2)

      Drilling Services Segment margin represents contract drilling revenues less contract drilling operating costs. Production Services Segment margin represents production services revenue less production services operating costs. We believe that Drilling Services Segment margin and Production Services Segment margin are useful measures for evaluating financial performance, although they are not measures of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, Drilling Services Segment margin and Production Services Segment margin are common measures of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and Pioneer's management. Drilling Services Segment margin and Production Services Segment margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of Drilling Services Segment margin and Production Services Segment margin to net income (loss) as reported is included in the tables to this press release.



      (3)

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

      (4)   Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) as reported less impairment charges and the tax benefit from impairment charges. We believe that adjusted net income (loss) is a useful measure for evaluating our core operating performance, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.


      (5)   Adjusted (diluted) EPS represents adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive securities as applicable. We believe that adjusted (diluted) EPS is a useful measure for evaluating our core operating performance, although it is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. A reconciliation of (diluted) EPS as reported to adjusted (diluted) EPS is included in the tables to this press release. Adjusted (diluted) EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of net income (loss) as reported to adjusted net income (loss) is included in the table above.


      (6)   The effect of dilutive securities is not reflected in diluted earnings per share (EPS) as reported because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive, or would decrease the reported loss per share. Therefore, basic EPS as reported is the same as diluted EPS as reported.
