Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
HOUSTON, Texas – April 27, 2017 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. As previously announced, Patterson-UTI completed the merger with Seventy Seven Energy on April 20, 2017. All reported financial results for Patterson-UTI for the first quarter of 2017 are on a standalone basis.
The Company reported a net loss of $63.5 million, or $0.40 per share, for the first quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $70.5 million, or $0.48 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $305 million, compared to $269 million for the first quarter of 2016.
The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 include a pretax gain of $11.2 million ($7.1 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) related to the sale of real estate, and pretax transaction expenses related to the merger with Seventy Seven Energy of $5.2 million ($3.3 million after-tax or $0.02 per share). For purposes of comparison, the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include a pretax non-cash charge of $2.2 million ($1.5 million after tax or $0.01 per share) related to the impairment of certain oil and natural gas properties.
Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We experienced strong rig demand during the first quarter. Our average rig count in the United States increased 22% to 81 rigs during the first quarter, up from 66 rigs in the fourth quarter. The growth in our rig count continues to be robust as we expect to average 96 rigs in the United States for the month of April, excluding the contribution to the rig count from rigs operated by Seventy Seven Energy. From the Seventy Seven Energy fleet, 58 rigs are currently operating. We expect our combined rig count in the United States to average 115 rigs in April including the pro rata contribution from these rigs.
“In Canada, our average rig count was two rigs during the first quarter, unchanged from the prior quarter. For the month of April, we expect to average two rigs in Canada.”
Mr. Hendricks added, “Total average rig revenue per day for the first quarter was $21,200 compared to $21,640 during the fourth quarter. Average rig operating costs per day increased for the first quarter to $14,450 from $13,770 in the fourth quarter as a result of a reduction in the proportion of rigs on standby and an increase in rig reactivation expenses as our rig count accelerated. As a result, total average rig margin per day decreased to $6,750 for the first quarter from $7,870 during the fourth quarter.
“As of March 31, 2017, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $385 million of future dayrate drilling revenue. Based on contracts currently in place and including rigs from Seventy Seven Energy, we expect an average of 84 rigs operating under term contracts during the second quarter, and an average of 61 rigs operating under term contracts during the 12 months ending March 31, 2018.
“In pressure pumping, revenues increased 34% sequentially to $141 million in the first quarter from $106 million in the fourth quarter. Pressure pumping gross margin as a percentage of revenues improved to 15.7% during the first quarter from 5.3% during the fourth quarter. Since mid-December, we have reactivated a total of four frac spreads. Two of these frac spreads were reactivated in April, and we expect to reactivate additional frac spreads in the second half of this year,” he concluded.
Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, “The merger with Seventy Seven Energy further solidifies our position as a leading high-spec drilling company and gives us one of the largest and most modern pressure
pumping fleets in the industry. I would like to welcome the people from Seventy Seven Energy into the Patterson-UTI family. Seventy Seven Energy employees share a devotion to the same core values of safety and customer service that are cornerstones of the Patterson-UTI culture.
“The merger integration process has begun, and I am pleased with the integration plan that we and Seventy Seven Energy have developed. We believe this collaborative plan and our enhanced position in the industry will help maximize the value of the combined entity for all shareholders,” he concluded.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.02 per share, to be paid on June 22, 2017, to holders of record as of June 8, 2017.
All references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill). We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities and our ability to meet our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss). |
