Parker Drilling Reports 2016 Third Quarter Results
HOUSTON, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, including a reported net loss of $46.2 million, or a $0.37 loss per share, on revenues of $97.2 million.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $5.1 million.
"We are pleased with our third quarter results given the challenging market conditions," said Gary Rich, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. "While results were down quarter-on-quarter, they were in line with our expectations. We also saw improvements in some areas of our business.
"Results from our Rentals Tools business improved slightly in the third quarter. Our rental activity in the U.S. land market increased as drilling activity improved, and this partially offset further declines in our U.S. offshore rentals. Results from our International Rental Tools segment improved in the third quarter due to the startup of previously delayed contracts and further cost reductions. In addition, our Drilling Services business benefited from the initial startup of a new operations and maintenance (O&M) contract for the Atlantic Coast, Canada and the addition of a fourth rig under an existing O&M contract on Sakhalin Island, Russia, both of which were awarded in the second quarter.
"We remain focused on cash flow and ended the quarter with $194 million in liquidity including $104 million in cash and $90 million available on our undrawn revolver. Contracted backlog was $421 million at the end of the third quarter compared with $446 million as of June 30, 2016.
"Looking forward, while there are indications market conditions are stabilizing and we may continue to see conditions improve in the near future, our expectations for the pace of the recovery remain guarded. As we navigate these market conditions, we are well positioned in our target markets and will continue to focus on execution, cash flow and financial discipline," concluded Rich.
Third Quarter Review
Parker Drilling's revenues for the 2016 third quarter, compared with the 2016 second quarter, decreased 7.7 percent to $97.2 million from $105.3 million, operating gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense (gross margin) decreased 22.4 percent to $12.5 million from $16.1 million and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 12.9 percent, compared with 15.3 percent.
Drilling Services
For the Company's Drilling Services business, which is comprised of the U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling and International & Alaska Drilling segments, third quarter revenues decreased 8.6 percent to $66.7 million from $73.0 million for the 2016 second quarter, gross margin decreased 28.8 percent to $9.9 million from $13.9 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 14.8 percent, compared with 19.0 percent for the prior period.
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling segment revenues were $1.4 million compared with $1.1 million in the 2016 second quarter. Gross margin was a $3.7 million loss as compared with a 2016 second quarter loss of $3.9 million. The increase in revenues and gross margin improvement were primarily the result of slightly higher utilization.
International & Alaska Drilling
International & Alaska Drilling segment revenues were $65.3 million, a 9.2 percent decrease from 2016 second quarter revenues of $71.9 million. Gross margin was $13.6 million, a 23.6 percent decrease from 2016 second quarter gross margin of $17.8 million. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 20.8 percent as compared with 24.8 percent in the 2016 second quarter. The decrease in revenues and gross margin were attributable to the completion of a project services engagement early in the third quarter and lower rig utilization. There were also margin benefits in the second quarter that did not repeat in the third quarter, including a rig contract early termination fee and the release of accruals related to the wind down of operations in certain locations. Partially offsetting these declines were the start-ups of the new O&M contracts.
Rental Tools Services
Effective July 1, 2016, we report our Rental Tools Services business as two reportable segments: (1) U.S. Rental Tools and (2) International Rental Tools. Third quarter revenues for the Rental Tools Services business decreased 5.6 percent to $30.5 million from $32.3 million for the 2016 second quarter, gross margin increased 18.2 percent to $2.6 million from $2.2 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 8.5 percent compared with 6.8 percent for the prior period.
U.S. Rental Tools
U.S. Rental Tools segment revenues were $15.0 million, compared with $18.0 million for the 2016 second quarter. Gross margin was $4.2 million compared with $5.7 million for the 2016 second quarter. The declines in revenues and gross margin were primarily due to a decline in offshore Gulf of Mexico revenues partially offset by an increase in land revenues.
International Rental Tools
International Rental Tools segment revenues were $15.5 million, compared with $14.3 million for the 2016 second quarter. Gross margin was a $1.7 million loss compared with a 2016 second quarter loss of $3.5 million. The increase in revenues and improvement in gross margin were due to increased rental activity associated with both previously delayed new contract start-ups and existing contracts. Gross margin also benefited from lower operating expenses.
Consolidated
General and Administrative expenses were $7.4 million for the 2016 third quarter, down from $8.0 million for the 2016 second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to incentive plan adjustments.
Capital expenditures in the third quarter were $4.7 million, and year-to-date through September 30, 2016 were $21.0 million.

| (1) We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, tax consequences, impairment and other special items. Special items include items impacting operating expenses that management believes detract from an understanding of normal operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance and period to period comparisons. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
| (2) For the three months ended December 31, 2015, special items include a $1.3 million write-off of inventory associated with our decision to no longer provide drilling services in Colombia. |

Management views the adjustments to Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Controlling Interest and Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to be items outside of the Company's normal operating results. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Controlling Interest and Adjusted Income (Loss) per Diluted Share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Net Income (Loss) or Income (Loss) per Diluted Share. |
