Parker Drilling Reports 2019 Second Quarter Results

HOUSTON, Aug. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, which included a net income of $4.6 million, or diluted earnings of $0.31 per share on revenues of $156.0 million. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million (1).

Gary Rich, the Company's President and CEO, said, "Our second quarter results, as demonstrated by our positive net income and strong Adjusted EBITDA, is a testament to our strong operational execution, ability to capture additional opportunities and improved balance sheet.

"In our rental tools business, our International rentals segment benefited from whipstock sales and continued demand for tubular running services, in particular our proprietary casing running tool. Our U.S. rental tools segment performed admirably in the second quarter in spite of the U.S. land rig count continuing to decline. Despite this softness, the U.S. offshore market continues to show modest signs of strength, and we are confident in our ability to perform well in both the U.S. land and offshore markets this year.

"In our drilling services business, our ongoing shift to more capital efficient and increasingly profitable operating activities supported the second quarter results. We also benefited from ongoing O&M activities and improving rig utilization, in both our U.S. (lower 48) drilling and International and Alaska drilling segments, as rigs returned to service in the inland barge and Mexico markets.

"Despite current market softness in the U.S., our diversified global exposure, ability to adjust capex spending, and improved capital structure provide us the ability to execute on profitable projects and deliver solid returns."

U.S. rental tools segment revenues were $52.9 million and $52.6 million for the second and first quarter, respectively. Gross margin was $27.7 million and $29.0 million for the second and first quarter, respectively.

International rental tools segment revenues were $22.2 million and $21.1 million for the second and first quarter, respectively. Gross margin was $2.9 million and $0.5 million for the second and first quarter, respectively.

Pre-petition restructuring charges have been allocated to the respective period in which the expense was incurred. Accordingly adjusted EBITDA will differ from what was reported previously.



(2)

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, tax consequences, impairment and other special items. Special items include items impacting operating expenses that management believes detract from an understanding of normal operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance and period to period comparisons. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
