HOUSTON, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.  The Company reported a net loss of $103 million, or $0.55 per share, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $150 million, or $0.81 per share, for the second quarter of 2020.  Revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $292 million, compared to $250 million for the second quarter of 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $210 million, or $1.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $585 million, or $3.10 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $533 million, compared to $696 million for the same period in 2020.

The financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include pretax acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million ($1.0 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) related to the pending acquisition of Pioneer Energy Services.

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our financial results continue to improve, as drilling and completion activity rebounds from the severe downturn in 2020.  Our activity has steadily improved from the lows of last summer and based on continuing customer conversations about the second half of 2021 and into 2022, we expect increasing activity and pricing."

Mr. Hendricks continued, "In contract drilling, our average rig count for the second quarter improved to 73 rigs from 69 rigs in the first quarter.  We expect to average approximately 81 rigs during the third quarter and end the quarter at 83 rigs.     

"Average rig margin per day for the second quarter was $6,250.  Average rig operating cost per day increased relative to the first quarter due primarily to a sales and use tax refund in the first quarter that did not recur, a smaller proportion of rigs on low cost standby status, and higher rig reactivation expenses.  Average rig revenue per day for the second quarter was $21,310.            

"As of June 30, 2021, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $210 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 37 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter, and an average of 24 rigs operating under term contracts during the four quarters ending June 30, 2022.   

"In pressure pumping, both utilization and pricing improved during the second quarter.  As a result, gross profit improved to $9.7 million for the second quarter, and revenues increased to $112 million from $75.8 million in the first quarter.  Gross profit slightly exceeded our expectation despite higher than expected reactivation expenses as we activated two frac spreads in June.  Our average active frac spread count and effective utilization for the second quarter were both close to eight spreads.  In the third quarter, we expect to average nine active spreads.        

"In directional drilling, revenues during the second quarter increased 26% to $24.9 million from $19.7 million in the first quarter due to higher activity levels as the number of rigs on which we offer directional drilling services increased by 70% during the quarter.  As a result of an increase in reactivation costs, gross margin for the second quarter decreased slightly to $2.5 million."     

Mr. Hendricks concluded, "Based on conversations with customers about increasing activity levels into 2022, we are increasing our 2021 capex forecast to approximately $165 million.  The increase in our capex budget primarily consists of investments in high-demand items that generate ancillary revenue, including specialty drill pipe and ESG-related technologies, as well as higher maintenance capex due to increasing activity.

"Our acquisition of Pioneer Energy Services is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals, customary closing conditions and the approval of Pioneer Energy Services' stockholders.  Pioneer's experienced people, high-quality assets and efficient operations in the United States and Colombia will be a valuable addition to our business." 

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.02 per share, payable on September 16, 2021, to holders of record as of September 2, 2021.

Financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 include second quarter, pre-tax charges totaling $55.8 million ($49.4 million after-tax, or $0.26 per share), consisting of $38.3 million of restructuring costs and impairment charges totaling $17.5 million.  Partially offsetting these charges is a pre-tax gain of $4.2 million ($3.7 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) included in other operating income from the realization of insurance proceeds. Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 also include pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges totaling $406 million that were incurred during the first quarter of 2020.

All references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus net interest expense, income tax 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 the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies.
