HOUSTON, April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC. (the "Company") (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company reported record quarterly revenues of $25.6 million, a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.11 per share, an adjusted net loss (defined below) of $4.3 million, or $0.11 per share, and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) of $3.9 million. This compares to revenues of $25.0 million, a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.15 per share, an adjusted net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.12 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and revenues of $20.2 million, a net loss of $6.3 million, or $0.17 per share, an adjusted net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.14 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Chief Executive Officer Byron Dunn commented, "ICD's first quarter continued the trend of full effective utilization of our ShaleDriller fleet. The first quarter also reflected the initial rerating of contracts in backlog to current market conditions, evidenced by sequential improvements in revenue per day. Based upon the contract expiration matrix currently established for 2018, as well as additional opportunities to renew contracts for remaining contract rolls, we are confident this trend will continue throughout 2018. Construction of our next newbuild ShaleDriller has begun and it remains on schedule to enter our drilling fleet mid third quarter".
Quarterly Operational Results
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company's fleet operated at 100.0% utilization and recorded 1,259 revenue days, compared to 100% utilization and 1,289 revenue days in the fourth quarter of 2017, and 91.7% utilization and 1,073 revenue days in the first quarter of 2017.
Operating revenues in the first quarter of 2018 totaled $25.6 million, compared to $25.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2017. On a revenue per day basis, revenues were $19,055 per day in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $18,338 in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $17,949 in the first quarter of 2017. Sequential revenue per day improvements were driven by increased pricing on contract renewals.
Operating costs in the first quarter of 2018 totaled $18.9 million, compared to $18.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2017.

The sequential increase in cost per day related primarily to higher payroll taxes and rig level incentive compensation.
First quarter 2018 fully-burdened rig operating margins, excluding reactivation and rig construction costs, were $5,641 per day, compared to $5,244 per day in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $6,019 per day in the first quarter of 2017.
