Pioneer Drilling Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, August 4, 2011 – Pioneer Drilling Company, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PDC) today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Some of the operational highlights include:

 

   

Term contracts signed for five new-build drilling rigs that will begin operating in the first half of 2012

 

   

12 drilling rigs operating under term contracts in West Texas, up from four operating in the first quarter, with four more rigs contracted to begin by year-end

 

   

Production Services revenue increased 21% over the first quarter of 2011 and 58% over the second quarter of 2010

 

   

Enhanced financial flexibility due to the recent $94.3 million (net proceeds) equity issuance and the amended revolving credit facility

Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter were $171.3 million, a 12% increase compared with $153.3 million for the first quarter of 2011 (“the prior quarter”) and a 46% increase over $117.0 million for the second quarter of 2010 (“the year-earlier quarter”). The increase from the prior quarter and from the year-earlier quarter was primarily due to higher utilization and improved pricing in both the Drilling Services and the Production Services Divisions, plus the contribution of additional equipment in the Production Services Division.

Net income for the second quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with a net loss for the prior quarter of $6.0 million, or $0.11 per share, and a net loss for the year-earlier quarter of $10.1 million, or $0.19 per share. In the prior quarter, results were reduced by a charge of $7.3 million, or $0.13 per share, for a net-worth tax on our Colombian operations that was non-recurring and not deductible for income tax purposes. Adjusted Net Earnings(1) and Adjusted Diluted EPS,(2) which exclude the impact of the Colombian net-worth tax expense, were $1.3 million and $0.02 per share, respectively, for the first quarter of 2011.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA(3) increased 42% to $45.1 million from $31.7 million in the prior quarter, which included the impact of the $7.3 million Colombian net-worth tax expense, and increased 105% over Adjusted EBITDA of $22.0 million in the year-earlier quarter.

Operating Results

Revenues for the Drilling Services Division were $106.5 million in the second quarter, a 7% increase over the prior quarter and a 40% increase from the year-earlier quarter. During the second quarter, the utilization rate for our drilling rig fleet averaged 69%, up from 65% in the prior quarter, while average drilling revenues per day remained flat from the prior quarter. Second quarter utilization was up substantially from the year-earlier quarter, which averaged 58%, while average drilling revenues per day were 19% higher versus a year ago. Drilling Services margin(4) was $7,504 per day in the second quarter as compared to $7,769 per day in the prior quarter and $4,648 per day in the year-earlier period.

Revenues for the Production Services Division were $64.8 million in the second quarter, up 21% from the prior quarter and a 58% increase from the year-earlier quarter. Second quarter Production Services margin(4) as a percentage of revenue grew to 42% from 38% in the prior quarter and 40% for the year-earlier quarter.

“We continue to see strong demand for our drilling rigs in the West Texas drilling division, which has grown from zero to 12 rigs since the beginning of 2011, and we have contracted four more rigs that will begin operating in West Texas by year-end,” said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and CEO of Pioneer Drilling. “Although day rates are lower in West Texas when compared to certain other regions, putting rigs back to work results in higher utilization rates and increased Adjusted EBITDA.

“Our new-build drilling rig designs are being well received, and we now have contracts for five AC rigs to be built to operate in shale plays during the first half of 2012. With strong demand for efficient and technically advanced drilling rigs to operate in the unconventional plays, we are continuing to market our new-build rigs and expect to sign additional term contracts.

“All eight of our drilling rigs in Colombia are operating under term contracts. Currently, 40 of our 71 drilling rigs are operating under term contracts, or approximately 77% of our working drilling rigs.

“Revenue in our Production Services Division grew $11.2 million during the quarter, driven by higher pricing and utilization, as well as the contribution of fleet additions. We have added 15 wireline units and six well service rigs year to date, with plans to add another four wireline units and six well service rigs during the remainder of 2011. By year-end, we should have 103 wireline units and 86 well service rigs in the fleet, positioning us to further penetrate the unconventional oil and liquid-rich natural gas plays. During the second quarter, our well service rig utilization was approximately 90%, and pricing increased to $524 from $509 per hour when compared to the prior quarter.

“In the third quarter of 2011, we expect drilling rig utilization to average between 72% and 73% and Drilling Services margin to decrease approximately $100 to $200 per day when comparing to the second quarter. Similar to our guidance from the prior quarter, the expected decrease in Drilling Services margin per day is driven by more rigs operating in the West Texas drilling division. In Production Services, we expect revenues to be up 12% to 16% and margin as a percentage of revenues to be up 1% to 2%,” Locke said.

Liquidity

Working capital was $50.2 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $76.1 million at December 31, 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 were $11.5 million, down from $22.0 million at year-end 2010. The decrease is primarily due to $79.2 million used for purchases of property and equipment, partly offset by cash provided by operations of $53.6 million, $12.6 million in proceeds from the sale of the ARPSs, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

On June 30, 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our existing revolving credit facility agreement which increased our borrowing capacity from $225 million to $250 million, extended the maturity date to June 30, 2016, improved pricing terms and provided more flexible financial covenants. Debt costs of approximately $0.6 million relating to the prior credit facility were amortized to interest expense in the second quarter.

In July, we completed an equity offering of 6.9 million shares of common stock, which generated proceeds of approximately $94.3 million that will be used to fund a portion of the new-build rig construction costs and will also be used for general corporate purposes. Since the construction projects are in their early stages, we used $57 million of the equity offering proceeds to pay down the entire debt balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, capital expenditures totaled $63.8 million and $98.5 million, respectively. Currently, we expect to spend approximately $200 million to $220 million in 2011, which includes a portion of the construction costs for five new-build drilling rigs, upgrades to drilling rigs being relocated to the West Texas drilling division, 12 well service rigs, 19 wireline units, and routine capital expenditures. Actual capital expenditures may vary depending on our ability to obtain term drilling contracts for new-build rigs and other equipment fleet expansions.

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 producing 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; the supply of marketable drilling rigs, well service rigs and wireline units within the industry; the continued availability of drilling rig, well service rig and wireline unit components; the continued availability of qualified personnel; the success or failure of our acquisition strategy, including our ability to finance acquisitions and manage growth; 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, 2010. 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 Net Earnings represents net loss as reported less the net-worth tax expense for our Colombian operations. Adjusted Net Earnings is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from net loss as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to net loss as reported is included in the tables to this news release.
(2) Adjusted Diluted EPS represents Adjusted Net Earnings divided by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Adjusted Diluted EPS is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from dilutive earnings per share (EPS) as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS to Diluted EPS as reported is included in the tables to this news release.
(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.
(4) Drilling Services margin represents contract drilling revenues less contract drilling operating costs. Production Services margin represents production services revenues 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 GAAP. However, Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin are common measures of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and Pioneer management. A reconciliation of Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin to net income (loss) as reported is included in the tables to this press release. Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(1) 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 Division’s 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.

See following page for footnote (4).

(4) Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the $7.3 million net-worth tax expense for our Colombian operations included in other income (expense). In addition, reconciliation of net income (loss) as reported to Adjusted Net Earnings excluding the effect of the net-worth tax expense for our Colombian operations follows.

(5) “Adjusted Net Earnings” represents net loss as reported less the net-worth tax expense for our Colombian operations. Adjusted Net Earnings is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from net loss as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance.
(6) “Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents Adjusted Net Earnings divided by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Adjusted Diluted EPS is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from dilutive EPS as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance.
