HOUSTON, Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling (NYSE: PKD), a drilling contractor and service provider, today reported results for the 2011 second quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company's results for the period included net income attributable to controlling interest of $14.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share on revenues of $172.8 million, compared with net income attributable to controlling interest of $0.5 million or $0.00 per diluted share on revenues of $156.5 million for the 2010 second quarter. Excluding the effects of non-routine items the Company reported net income attributable to controlling interest of $15.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share compared with similarly adjusted 2010 second quarter net income attributable to controlling interest of $3.6 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-routine items, was $62.9 million, compared with $41.3 million for the prior year's second quarter.
"Our second quarter performance was led by the continued strong growth of our Rental Tools segment, accompanied by benefits from a substantial improvement in our U.S. barge drilling business and an expanded portfolio of projects in the Project Management and Engineering Services segment. This was the result of better market conditions leveraged by the growth- and profitability-focused strategies of our operations," stated Parker Drilling President and Chief Executive Officer David Mannon. "In addition, we achieved stability in our International Drilling business and continued to work on strengthening the operational potential of this business," said Mannon.
Second Quarter Highlights
- Parker's Rental Tools segment continued to grow revenues and expand gross margin. (Segment gross margins exclude depreciation and amortization expense).
- The Company's U.S. barge drilling fleet realized increases in its average dayrate and utilization, compared with both the prior quarter and the prior year's second quarter.
- Parker benefited from recent additions to the Company's project management portfolio.
"Our continued investment in Parker's rental tools business has allowed us to participate in the growing demand in the U.S. land market. With our stores strategically located to service the leading shale plays, we have maintained high utilization of our growing inventory of premium drill pipe and related products. Also, demand for shallow water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico strengthened further, leading to increased utilization and higher average dayrates for Parker's barge rig fleet. For most of the quarter, all of Parker's available barge rigs were under contract.
"We made progress in broadening our international drilling rig contract base. Most of our currently operating rigs are contracted into 2012 and we believe there are opportunities to further expand our operating rig count. In addition, recent project awards are expanding the contribution from our project management business," said Mr. Mannon. "I believe that Parker will further benefit from the continued growth in U.S. drilling activity, recent improvements in international market conditions and the further development and deployment of our operating strategy," he concluded.
Second Quarter Review
Parker's revenues for the 2011 second quarter were $172.8 million compared with 2010 second quarter revenues of $156.5 million. The Company's 2011 second quarter gross margin, before depreciation and amortization expense, was $68.3 million compared with 2010 second quarter gross margin of $47.6 million, while gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 40 percent from 30 percent gross margin for the 2010 second quarter. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2011, included the impact of $2.6 million, pre-tax, of non-routine expenses related to the ongoing U.S. regulatory investigations and Parker's internal review regarding possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws. This non-routine item reduced after-tax earnings by $1.7 million or $0.02 per diluted share. The results for the 2010 second quarter included non-routine, after-tax expense of $3.0 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Details of the non-routine items are provided in the attached financial tables.
|
Rental Tools revenues increased 41 percent to $58.5 million from $41.4 million, segment gross margin rose to $40.8 million from $27.1 million, and segment gross margin as a percent of revenues rose to 70 percent from 66 percent. The expanded use of lateral drilling in the U.S. to exploit oil and natural gas resources led to increased demand for rental tools. With facilities strategically located in key U.S. drilling markets and continued investments in rental tools inventory, Parker's Rental Tools business benefited primarily from increased demand and higher utilization. |
|
|
U.S. Drilling revenues increased 70 percent to $26.1 million from $15.3 million, segment gross margin rose to $9.2 million from $1.8 million, and segment gross margin as a percent of revenues increased to 35 percent from 12 percent. The higher revenues, earnings and gross margin as a percent of revenues resulted from higher utilization and an increase in the fleet average dayrate. For the quarter, the business had an average of 10.5 barge rigs employed, compared with an average of approximately 8.4 barge rigs employed in the 2010 second quarter. The barge rig fleet's average dayrate was $26,000 for the 2011 second quarter and $19,000 for the 2010 second quarter. |
|
|
International Drilling revenues declined 19 percent to $42.7 million from $52.9 million for the prior year's second quarter, segment gross margin declined to $8.8 million compared with $13.5 million, and segment gross margin as a percent of revenues decreased to 21 percent from 26 percent. These results were primarily due to a decline in rig utilization, which was partially offset by higher average dayrates in all regions. |
|
International rig fleet average utilization for the 2011 second quarter was 46 percent, compared with 55 percent for the prior year's second quarter. Three rigs located in the Asia Pacific region were removed from the active rig fleet at year-end 2010, reducing the region's fleet to five rigs and Parker's overall international fleet to 27 rigs. Adjusted for this change, the prior year's rig fleet average utilization was 61 percent. For the 2011 second quarter, the ten-rig Americas regional fleet operated at 67 percent average utilization, the eleven-rig CIS/AME regional fleet operated at 27 percent average utilization and the five-rig Asia Pacific regional fleet operated at 55 percent average utilization. (Additional rig fleet information is available on Parker's website). |

Project Management and Engineering Services revenues increased 73 percent to $45.6 million from $26.4 million for the prior year's second quarter. Segment gross margin increased to $8.0 million from $4.7 million and segment gross margin as a percent of revenues was 18 percent in both periods. Primary contributors to the revenue increase were the Yastreb rig relocation project, the Coral Sea land rig refurbishment project and higher amounts of reimbursed expenses. The Yastreb rig, owned by Exxon Neftegas Limited and operated by Parker Drilling, is being moved approximately 100 kilometers between drilling locations on Sakhalin Island, Russia. Also during the 2011 second quarter, Parker completed the shipyard refurbishment of the Talisman Energy-owned Coral Sea land rig, a purpose-built, heli-transportable land rig to be operated in Papua New Guinea. The refurbishment project was awarded to Parker by Talisman Energy, with whom Parker is finalizing a three-year contract to operate and maintain the rig. |
|
|
The Construction Contract segment recorded no revenues for the 2011 second quarter, compared with $20.5 million of revenues in the prior year's second quarter, and reported $1.5 million of segment gross margin, compared with $0.5 million of segment gross margin in the 2010 second quarter. The construction contract for the Liberty rig ended in the 2011 first quarter and project-related work since then is included in the Project Management and Engineering Services segment. |

2011 Year-to-Date Summary
The Company's results for the first six months of 2011 included net income attributable to controlling interest of $19.0 million or $0.16 per diluted share on revenues of $329.0 million, compared with the prior year's first six month net loss attributable to controlling interest of $1.5 million or $0.01 per diluted share on revenues of $314.1 million. Excluding the effects of non-routine items the Company reported adjusted net income attributable to controlling interest of $21.2 million or $0.18 per diluted share compared with similarly adjusted 2010 first half net income attributable to controlling interest of $6.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-routine items, was $105.6 million for the first six months of 2011 and $79.2 million for the same period of the prior year.

Earnings for the comparable period of 2010 included $7.6 million of after-tax expense for non-routine items.
Cash Flow and Capitalization
Capital expenditures were $48.7 million for the 2011 second quarter and $99.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
