HOUSTON, Feb. 15, 2017
HOUSTON, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, including a reported net loss of $48.9 million, or a $0.39 loss per share, on revenues of $94.0 million.
The net loss includes a pre-tax $0.9 million expense related to executive departures and a $6.8 million non-cash valuation allowance taken primarily against UK deferred tax assets largely relating to fixed assets. The valuation allowance accounted for $0.05 of the reported loss per share. While the deferred tax assets have been reserved on the Company's financial statements, they have not expired and remain available to offset future cash taxes. Excluding these items, the adjusted net loss was $41.3 million, or a $0.33 loss per share.
Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million.
"Our fourth quarter results were in line with our expectations in the face of ongoing market challenges. We continue our efforts to maximize results and aggressively pursue opportunities across all of our business lines," said Gary Rich, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO.
"U.S. land activity drove improvements in our U.S. Rental Tools Tubular Goods Utilization Index. We also saw continued multi-well rig inquiries in the U.S. barge business. We executed a contract for an 11 well, or approximately six month, project for 1 barge rig that has mobilized to its first well location and have prospects for 2 to 3 additional contracts with anticipated start-ups late in the first quarter. Internationally, current activity levels remain low; however, we see increased rig tendering in many of our markets for work anticipated to begin in late 2017 or early 2018.
"Throughout 2016, we remained focused on disciplined cost control and cash management while maintaining the strength of our business lines in order to benefit from improving conditions. We ended the quarter with $210 million in liquidity, up from $194 million at the end of the third quarter, including $120 million in cash and $90 million available on our undrawn revolver.
"For 2017, we have identified a number of growth opportunities and estimate total capital expenditures of $40 to $50 million, with expenditures weighted toward the first half of 2017. While we are increasing investments in our growth, we will continue to carefully manage our liquidity and costs so we can respond to changing market conditions and opportunities that develop," concluded Rich.
Fourth Quarter Review
Parker Drilling's revenues for the 2016 fourth quarter, compared with the 2016 third quarter, decreased 3.3 percent to $94.0 million from $97.2 million. Operating gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense (gross margin) increased 8.0 percent to $13.5 million from $12.5 million and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 14.4 percent, compared with 12.9 percent for the prior period.
Drilling Services
For the Company's Drilling Services business, which is comprised of the U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling and the International & Alaska Drilling segments, revenues declined 6.6 percent to $62.3 million from $66.7 million. Gross margin increased 9.1 percent to $10.8 million from $9.9 million, and gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 17.3 percent, compared with 14.8 percent for the prior period. Contracted backlog was $379 million at the end of the fourth quarter compared with $421 million as of September 30, 2016.
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling
U.S. (Lower 48) Drilling segment revenues were $0.8 million, a 42.9 percent decrease from 2016 third quarter revenues of $1.4 million. Gross margin was a $3.4 million loss as compared with a 2016 third quarter loss of $3.7 million. The decline in revenues was primarily the result of fewer revenue days, and the improvement in gross margin was due to lower costs.
International & Alaska Drilling
International & Alaska Drilling segment revenues were $61.5 million, a 5.8 percent decrease from 2016 third quarter revenues of $65.3 million. Gross margin was $14.2 million, a 4.4 percent increase from 2016 third quarter gross margin of $13.6 million. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 23.1 percent as compared with 20.8 percent for the 2016 third quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lower reimbursable activity partially offset by an increase in activity associated with our Atlantic Canada O&M project. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of lower operating expenses in addition to a benefit associated with the release of a legacy contract related accrual.
Rental Tools Services
Rental Tools Services revenues were $31.7 million, a 3.9 percent increase from 2016 third quarter revenues of $30.5 million. Gross margin was $2.7 million, a 3.8 percent increase from $2.6 million for the 2016 third quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 8.5 percent as compared with 8.5 percent in the 2016 third quarter.
U.S. Rental Tools
U.S. Rental tools segment revenues were $16.1 million, compared with $15.0 million for the 2016 third quarter. Gross margin was $4.0 million compared with $4.2 million for the 2016 third quarter. Revenues were up as land based activity outpaced declines in offshore activity. Gross margin declined as a result of bad debt expense.
International Rental Tools
International Rental Tools segment revenues were $15.6 million, compared with $15.5 million for the 2016 third quarter and gross margin was a loss of $1.3 million compared with a loss of $1.7 million for the 2016 third quarter. The improvement in gross margin was due to lower operating expenses.
Consolidated
General and Administrative expense increased to $9.1 million for the 2016 fourth quarter, from $7.4 million for the 2016 third quarter, predominately due to incentive plan adjustments and a $0.9 million charge related to executive departures recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $8.0 million, and were $29.0 million for the year.
