Parker Drilling Reports 2017 Second Quarter Results
HOUSTON, Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, including a reported net loss available to common stockholders of $31.1 million, or a $0.23 loss per common share, on revenues of $109.6 million.
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $13.5 million.
"Parker continues to capitalize on increasing activity in the U.S. and is prudently managing international operations, which are recovering more slowly," said Gary Rich, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. "As expected, our U.S. rental tools business led our second quarter improvement with a 47 percent sequential increase in revenues and incremental margin growth of 73 percent driven by higher equipment utilization and select pricing increases on specific product lines. For the third consecutive quarter, the growth of our U.S. rental tools business outpaced the growth in the U.S. land rig count, which increased 21 percent in the second quarter. Our U.S. barge drilling business also experienced an increase in activity, with utilization of 19 percent in the second quarter compared with 4 percent in the first quarter.
"Internationally, we continue to see signs of an emerging recovery. We executed a one-well contract plus optional wells for a rig in the Kurdistan region of Iraq that should commence operations in the fourth quarter and a one-year contract for a rig in Indonesia that should begin mobilizing in September. We are encouraged by our recent contract wins and remain cautiously optimistic about continued contracting activity in the second half of 2017 and heading into 2018.
"With oil prices declining below $50 per barrel in the second quarter, we are maintaining a prudent approach to our capital spending plan. We remain encouraged by the recent higher activity in the U.S. and indications of improving conditions in our other markets, and believe we are well positioned to capture opportunities as they arise," concluded Rich.
Second Quarter Review
Parker Drilling's revenues for the 2017 second quarter, compared with the 2017 first quarter, increased 11.5 percent to $109.6 million from $98.3 million. Operating gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense (gross margin) increased 60.0 percent to $20.0 million from $12.5 million and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 18.2 percent, compared with 12.7 percent for the 2017 first quarter.
Drilling Services
For the Company's Drilling Services business, which is comprised of the U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling and International & Alaska Drilling segments, second quarter revenues increased 2.0 percent to $65.7 million from $64.4 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin increased 2.5 percent to $8.2 million from $8.0 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 12.5 percent, compared with 12.4 percent for the prior period. Contracted backlog was $289 million at the end of the second quarter.
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling segment revenues increased $3.8 million to $5.0 million from $1.2 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin improved 66.7 percent to a $1.0 million loss from a loss of $3.0 million for the 2017 first quarter. The increase in revenues and gross margin improvement were primarily the result of increased utilization.
International & Alaska Drilling
International & Alaska Drilling segment revenues decreased 4.0 percent to $60.7 million from $63.2 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin was $9.3 million, a 15.5 percent decrease from 2017 first quarter gross margin of $11.0 million. The decrease in revenues and gross margin were driven primarily by our Operations & Management (O&M) business due to an O&M contract that was completed in the first quarter and lower earnings from our joint venture in Kazakhstan partially offset by a Company-owned rig shifting from standby to an operating rate.
Rental Tools Services
For the Company's Rental Tools Services business, which is comprised of the U.S. Rental Tools and International Rental Tools segments, second quarter revenues increased 29.9 percent to $43.9 million from $33.8 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin increased 165.9 percent to $11.7 million from $4.4 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 26.7 percent compared with 13.0 percent for the prior period.
U.S. Rental Tools
U.S. Rental Tools segment revenues increased 47.0 percent to $29.7 million, from $20.2 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin increased 101.5 percent to $13.7 million from $6.8 million for the 2017 first quarter. The increases in revenues and gross margin were driven by increased U.S. land drilling activity and select price increases.
International Rental Tools
International Rental Tools segment revenues increased 4.4 percent to $14.2 million from $13.6 million for the 2017 first quarter. Gross margin improved 16.7 percent to a $2.0 million loss from a $2.4 million loss for the 2017 first quarter. The increase in revenues was attributable to increased tubular running services partially offset by reduced rental activity in Latin America and the Asia Pacific regions. Gross margin improvement was due to increased activity partially offset by increases in payroll taxes and benefits.
Consolidated
General and Administrative expenses were $6.5 million for the 2017 second quarter, down from $7.0 million for the 2017 first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to incentive compensation adjustments during the 2017 second quarter.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $12.1 million, and year-to-date through June 30, 2017 were $26.6 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) Special items include: |
|
| - For the three months ended December 31, 2016, special items include $0.9 million of net severance associated with the departure of three executives. |
