Pioneer Drilling Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 5, 2011 – Pioneer Drilling Company, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PDC) today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Some of the operational highlights include:
| • | One new-build contract signed for a 1500 horsepower AC drilling rig |
| • | Nine additional term contracts signed for drilling rigs relocating to West Texas |
| • | Fourteen additional wireline units added year-to-date |
| • | Three additional well service rigs added year-to-date |
Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter were $153.3 million, compared with $148.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 (“the prior quarter”) and $86.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 (“the year-earlier quarter”). The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher percentage of turnkey work during the first quarter, as well as higher average revenue rates for our Production Services Division and slightly higher utilization rates for our Drilling Services equipment. The increase from a year ago was due to an increase in average revenue rates and utilization rates for both divisions.
Net loss reported for the first quarter was $6.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a net loss for the prior quarter of $6.0 million, or $0.11 per share, and a net loss for the year-earlier quarter of $14.5 million, or $0.27 per share. First quarter 2011 results were reduced by a $7.3 million charge, or $0.13 per share, for a net-worth tax on our Colombian operations that was non-recurring and not deductible for income tax purposes. Adjusted Net Earnings(1) and Adjusted Diluted EPS,(2) which exclude the net-worth tax expense for Colombian operations were $1.3 million and $0.02 per share, respectively, for the first quarter of 2011.
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA(3) decreased to $31.7 million from $37.7 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to the $7.3 million net-worth tax for our Colombian operations, but increased substantially over Adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Operating Results
Revenues for the Drilling Services Division were $99.8 million in the first quarter, a 5% increase over the prior quarter and a 79% increase from the year-earlier quarter. During the first quarter, the utilization rate for our drilling rig fleet averaged 65%, up slightly from 64% in the prior quarter, and average drilling revenues per day increased 5% from the prior quarter. First quarter utilization was up sharply from the year-earlier quarter, which averaged 49%, while average drilling revenues per day were 36% higher versus a year ago. Drilling Services margin(4) increased to $7,769 per day in the first quarter as compared to $7,679 per day in the prior quarter and $3,145 per day in the year-earlier period.
Revenues for the Production Services Division were $53.6 million in the first quarter, down less than 1% from the prior quarter and a 77% increase from the year-earlier quarter. First quarter Production Services margin(4) as a percentage of revenue fell to 38% from 41% in the prior quarter but increased compared to 34% for the year-earlier quarter.
“We have now turned the corner on profitability and are again back to growing our three core businesses: land drilling, wireline services and well services,” said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and CEO of Pioneer Drilling. “Excluding the non-recurring net-worth tax in Colombia, we would have generated positive net earnings in the first quarter.
In our Drilling Services Division, we are actively marketing our latest new-build rig designs. To date, we have secured one new-build contract for a 1500 horsepower AC drilling rig to be delivered in the first quarter of 2012, and we are in discussions on several other new-build opportunities.
We have executed another nine term contracts to relocate rigs to our new West Texas drilling division. Eight of the nine rigs will be operating under one-year term contracts, with the ninth rig under a six-month term contract. Most of these rigs are presently stacked in North and East Texas. We expect that the expansion into West Texas will allow us to improve our rig utilization to over 80% by year-end. Currently, 32 of our 71 drilling rigs are operating under term contracts, or approximately 65% of our working drilling rigs.
In our Production Services Division, we plan to grow our wireline unit fleet by 17 units, or 20%, and our well service rig fleet by six units, or 8%, in 2011. To date, we have already added 14 wireline units and three well service rigs. We continue to see tremendous growth opportunities in existing and new unconventional plays. During the first quarter, we added production services equipment to the Eagle Ford, Bakken, Niobrara and Marcellus shale plays.
“Our utilization levels in our Production Services Division were reduced this quarter due to normal seasonality and unusually disruptive weather in February. Activity levels have increased recently, resulting in well service utilization averaging 88% for the month of April.
2
“Despite increasing utilization rates and Adjusted EBITDA, we expect the Drilling Services margin per day to trend slightly down through the remainder of 2011 as we add drilling rigs in our West Texas drilling division. This is due to lower daywork drilling rates in West Texas as compared to daywork drilling rates in the shale regions. In the second quarter of 2011, we expect drilling rig utilization to average between 67% and 69% and Drilling Services margin to be flat to down by $300 per day when comparing to the first quarter. In Production Services, we expect revenues to be up 5% to 10% and margin as a percentage of revenues to be up 1% to 3%,” Locke said.
Liquidity
Working capital was $77.1 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $76.1 million at December 31, 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 were $15.3 million, down from $22.0 million at year-end 2010. The decrease is primarily due to $31.4 million used for purchases of property and equipment and $2.0 million for the acquisition of production services businesses, partly offset by $12.6 million in proceeds from the sale of the ARPSs, $9.0 million of cash provided by operations and $3.5 million of net borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Currently, we have $42.0 million outstanding under our $225 million Revolving Credit Facility and $9.2 million in committed letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability of $173.8 million under this facility.
Capital Expenditures
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, capital expenditures totaled $34.7 million. Currently, we expect to spend approximately $170 million to $185 million in 2011, which includes two new-build AC drilling rigs, six well service rigs, 17 wireline units, upgrades to drilling rigs being relocated to West Texas and routine capital expenditures. Actual capital expenditures may vary depending on our ability to obtain term drilling contracts for new-build rigs and other equipment fleet expansions.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
Statements we make in this news release that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, could differ materially from those we express in this news release as a result of a variety of factors, including general economic and business conditions and industry trends; levels and volatility of oil and gas prices; decisions about onshore exploration and development projects to be made by oil and gas producing companies; risks associated with economic cycles and their impact on capital markets and liquidity; the continued demand for the drilling services or production services in the geographic areas where we operate; the highly competitive nature of our business; our future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; the supply of marketable drilling rigs, well service rigs and wireline units within the industry; the continued availability of drilling rig, well service rig and wireline unit components; the continued availability of qualified personnel; the success or failure of our acquisition strategy, including our ability to finance acquisitions and manage growth; changes in, or our failure or inability to comply with, governmental regulations, including those relating to the environment. We have discussed many of these factors in more detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These factors are not necessarily all the important factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unknown factors we have not discussed in this news release, or in our annual report on Form 10-K could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We advise our shareholders that they should (1) be aware that important factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of each such measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, together with an explanation of why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, is provided in the following tables.
| (1) | “Adjusted Net Earnings” represents net loss as reported less the net-worth tax expense for our Colombian operations. Adjusted Net Earnings is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from net loss as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings to net loss as reported is included in the tables to this news release. |
4
| (2) | “Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents Adjusted Net Earnings divided by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Adjusted Diluted EPS is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that excluding the specified item from dilutive earnings per share (EPS) as reported provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reported period(s) and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, and provides management with a more relevant measurement of operating performance. |
| (3) | We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and any impairments. Although not prescribed under GAAP, we believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps our investors understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of net loss as reported to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables to this press release. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. |
| (4) | Drilling Services margin represents contract drilling revenues less contract drilling operating costs. Production Services margin represents production services revenues less production services operating costs. We believe that Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin are useful measures for evaluating financial performance, although they are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. However, Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin are common measures of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and Pioneer management. A reconciliation of Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin to net loss as reported is included in the tables to this press release. Drilling Services margin and Production Services margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
