Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

HOUSTON, Texas – April 28, 2016 – PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The Company reported a net loss of $70.5 million, or $0.48 per share, for the first quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $9.1 million, or $0.06 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $269 million, compared to $658 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the first quarter, our rig count averaged 71 rigs in the United States and three rigs in Canada, compared to the fourth quarter average of 88 rigs in the United States and three in Canada.  For the month of April, we expect our average rig count will be 56 in the United States, and in Canada we expect a minimal number of operating days due to the industry downturn and spring breakup.”  

Mr. Hendricks added, “We recognized $16.8 million of revenues related to early contract terminations in our drilling business during the first quarter.  These early termination revenues positively impacted our total average rig revenue per day of $25,340 by $2,520.  Excluding early termination revenue from both the fourth and first quarters, total average rig revenue per day during the first quarter would have been $22,820 compared to $23,140 in the fourth quarter.

“Total average rig operating costs per day during the first quarter decreased $490 to $12,150 from $12,640 in the fourth quarter.  This decrease is due in part to a reduction in our workers’ compensation reserves, resulting from our strong and consistent operational record.  In addition, the proportion of rigs on standby increased during the quarter, further reducing the average rig operating costs per day as rigs on standby have very little associated cost.  Total average rig margin per day, excluding the positive impact from early termination revenues in both the fourth and first quarters, increased to $10,660 during the first quarter, from $10,500 during the fourth quarter.

“As of March 31, 2016, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $580 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 43 rigs operating under term contracts during the second quarter, and an average of 40 rigs operating under term contracts during the remaining three quarters of 2016.  We also expect approximately $5 million of early termination revenues during the second quarter.

“In pressure pumping, industry activity decreased further in the first quarter, and pricing remains unsustainable.  We believe it is prudent to be disciplined in the use of our assets and have chosen to stack horsepower rather than operate the equipment at pricing levels that do not generate acceptable cash flow.  With the lower activity levels and our stacking of horsepower during the first quarter, pressure pumping revenues decreased 27% to $96.3 million from $132 million in the fourth quarter.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8.8% during the first quarter from 10.4% in the fourth quarter.  Pressure pumping Adjusted EBITDA was $5.6 million in the first quarter compared to $10.9 million in the fourth quarter,” he concluded.

Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, “We believe the U.S. rig count is beginning to stabilize as crude oil prices have improved from the cyclical lows reached in the first quarter.  The outlook for crude oil prices remains uncertain with numerous economic and geopolitical concerns.  For this reason, visibility into the timing of a recovery remains limited, and we do not believe current oil prices in the mid-$40s are sufficient to support a meaningful increase in U.S. drilling activity.


“Despite limited visibility into a recovery, we remain optimistic about a recovery in our cyclical industry.  The severe downturn in the rig count has brought the U.S. rig count to the lowest level in more than 65 years.  We believe this unprecedented low level of U.S. drilling activity will further reduce U.S. oil production and help to balance oil supply and demand.  At Patterson-UTI, we remain focused on operational execution and preserving the strength of our balance sheet.  

“Our cash position in the quarter improved by more than $73 million to $187 million, and our revolver remains undrawn.  To further improve our liquidity position in advance of the opportunities arising from a cyclical recovery, we have elected to reduce our quarterly dividend to $0.02 per share, which should save the Company approximately $47 million on an annual basis,” he concluded.

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.02 per share, to be paid on June 23, 2016, to holders of record as of June 9, 2016.

The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include a pretax non-cash charge of $2.2 million ($1.5 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) related to the impairment of certain oil and natural gas properties.

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

The Company's quarterly conference call to discuss the operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, is scheduled for today, April 28, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time. The dial-in information for participants is 866-841-7265 (Domestic) and 704-908-0463 (International).  The passcode for both numbers is 51014956.  The call is also being webcast and can be accessed through the Investor Relations section at www.patenergy.com.  A replay of the conference call will be on the Company’s website for two weeks.

We present Adjusted EBITDA (a non-U.S. GAAP measure) because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities and our ability to meet our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measures of net income (loss) or operating cash flow.
