Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Revenues Up by 95%, Net Income by 176%
HOUSTON – July 28, 2011 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company reported net income of $81.6 million, or $0.52 per share, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $29.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $600 million, compared to $307 million for the second quarter of 2010.
The Company reported net income of $153 million, or $0.98 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $33.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the comparable six month period in 2010. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.2 billion, compared to $579 million for the same six month period in 2010.
Douglas J. Wall, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Activity in our U.S. drilling business continued to increase in the second quarter. As expected, Canadian drilling activity was impacted by the annual spring breakup. Our average number of rigs operating in the second quarter was 202, including 199 in the United States and 3 in Canada. This compares to an average of 207 rigs operating in the first quarter of 2011, including 192 in the United States and 15 in Canada.”
Mr. Wall added, “Average revenue per operating day for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $760 to $21,000, compared to $20,240 for the first quarter of 2011. Average direct operating costs per operating day for the second quarter of 2011 increased to $11,880 from $11,730 for the first quarter of 2011. Average margin per operating day for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $600 to $9,110 from $8,510 for the first quarter of 2011.
“We are continuing to see increases in our rig count. We expect our July rig count to average approximately 215 rigs operating, comprised of 205 in the United States and 10 in Canada, which is an increase of 50 rigs in the US and 3 rigs in Canada as compared to July 2010.
“During the second quarter of 2011, we had an average of approximately 107 rigs operating under long-term contracts and have continued to increase our quantity of long-term contracts. Based on contracts currently in place, we expect to have an average of approximately 122 rigs operating under long-term contracts during the remainder of 2011.
“We completed 8 new Apex™ rigs during the second quarter and expect to complete 25 new Apex™ rigs in 2011 and an additional 30 in 2012. With regard to customer contracts for new Apex™ rigs, we entered into long-term agreements for 10 rigs during the second quarter. We currently have long-term contracts for all of the new Apex™ rigs scheduled for delivery in 2011.
“In the second quarter, our pressure pumping business achieved quarterly sequential increases in revenues and operating income of 11% and 22%, respectively. Demand for our pressure pumping services remains high, and we are adding fracturing capacity. We deployed 62,000 horsepower of new fracturing equipment during the first half of 2011, with the vast majority deployed in June. During the second half of 2011, we expect to deploy an additional 142,000 horsepower, with approximately half being activated in the latter part of the third quarter and the remainder being activated in the latter part of the fourth quarter. At this juncture, we expect to add approximately 140,000 horsepower for delivery in 2012,” he concluded.
Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI stated, “Our drilling and pressure pumping businesses continue to benefit from the increased activity associated with oil and liquids-rich plays in the United States. The increasing number and complexity of wells being drilled has resulted in a shortage of new technology drilling rigs and fracturing horsepower. Current activity levels have supported increased pricing for our drilling and fracturing services and have caused some increase in operating costs, including labor costs.
Mr. Siegel further stated, “In this environment, we have entered into additional long-term contracts for new Apex™ rigs and have expanded our newbuild rig construction program for 2012. We also have approximately 280,000 total horsepower of fracturing equipment planned for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.
Mr. Siegel commented further: “The evolution of our rig and fracturing fleets and their suitability for unconventional plays is evidenced by the portion of our revenues from horizontal and directional wells. For the second quarter, 82% of drilling revenue and 77% of our fracturing revenue was derived from these types of wells.”
The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.05 per share, to be paid on September 30, 2011 to holders of record as of September 15, 2011.
