HOUSTON, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ: PTEN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.  The Company reported a net loss of $85.9 million, or $0.58 per share, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $19.0 million, or $0.13 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $194 million, compared to $473 million for the second quarter of 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported a net loss of $156 million, or $1.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million, or $0.07 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were $463 million, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2015.

Andy Hendricks, Patterson-UTI's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In contract drilling, our rig count during the second quarter averaged 55 rigs in the United States and less than one rig in Canada, compared to the first quarter average of 71 rigs in the United States and three rigs in Canada.  Activity levels stabilized for both our drilling and pressure pumping businesses during the second quarter.  Since reaching a bottom in late-April of 52 rigs, our rig count in the United States has improved to 58 rigs.  For the month of July, we expect our average rig count will be 56 rigs in the United States and two rigs in Canada." 

Mr. Hendricks added, "We recognized $5.4 million of revenues related to early contract terminations in our drilling business during the second quarter.  These early termination revenues positively impacted our total average rig revenue per day of $23,070 by $1,080.  Excluding early termination revenue from both the first and second quarters, total average rig revenue per day during the second quarter would have been $21,980 compared to $22,820 in the first quarter.

"Total average rig operating costs per day during the second quarter increased to $12,770 from $12,150 in the first quarter.  Costs associated with preparing rigs for reactivation contributed to this increase.  Total average rig margin per day, excluding the positive impact from early termination revenues in both the first and second quarters, decreased to $9,210 during the second quarter, from $10,660 during the first quarter.

"As of June 30, 2016, we had term contracts for drilling rigs providing for approximately $507 million of future dayrate drilling revenue.  Based on contracts currently in place, we expect an average of 45 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter, and an average of 42 rigs operating under term contracts during the second half of 2016. 

"In pressure pumping, activity stabilized during the second quarter, but pricing remains unsustainably low.  In this low price environment, we continue to be disciplined in the use of our assets, and we have not activated idle spreads.  With the lower activity, pressure pumping revenues decreased by 23% to $74.0 million from $96.3 million in the first quarter.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.0% during the second quarter from 8.8% in the first quarter.  Pressure pumping Adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million in the second quarter compared to $5.6 million in the first quarter," he concluded.

Mark S. Siegel, Chairman of Patterson-UTI, stated, "During the second quarter, activity stabilized in both our drilling and pressure pumping businesses as commodity prices improved.  We are encouraged by the recent increase in our rig count and optimistic about a continued recovery in the U.S. rig count, assuming commodity prices remain at or above recent levels. 

"During a recovery, our operational focus shifts as we scale the Company to higher activity levels, but our priorities remain the same – operational execution, maximizing margins, and maintaining financial flexibility.  We are well positioned for a cyclical recovery with both high quality drilling rigs and pressure pumping equipment that are ready to be reactivated, as well as the financial position necessary to cover reactivation costs and increases in working capital.

"As previously announced, to further solidify our financial position, we recently amended our bank credit agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity of our revolving credit facility by 18 months to March 2019.  Additionally, we repaid the entire $230 million of bank term loans outstanding as of June 30, 2016 using cash on hand and $70 million drawn from the revolving credit facility.  As a result, we believe we have ample liquidity to finance working capital requirements during a recovery.  Additionally, we have reduced our pro forma debt to total capital ratio at June 30, 2016 to 22%, reduced future interest expense, effectively eased our ability to pay future dividends, and we no longer have any term debt maturities until October 2020," he concluded.

The Company declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.02 per share, to be paid on September 22, 2016, to holders of record as of September 8, 2016.

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

The dial-in information for participants is 866-841-7265 (Domestic) and 704-908-0463 (International).  The passcode for both numbers is 13110301.  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.

Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). 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 measure of net income (loss).
