Pioneer Energy Services Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

SAN ANTONIO, July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Energy Services (NYSE: PES) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Second quarter highlights include:

    --  International drilling fleet was 86% utilized and generated an average
        margin per day of $11,023.
    --  Well servicing revenues increased 12% sequentially, largely driven by a
        10% increase in rig hours.
    --  Domestic drilling fleet was 95% utilized and generated an average margin
        per day of $10,131.
    --  Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.3 million to $31.1 million
        sequentially.

Consolidated Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were $152.8 million, up 4% from revenues of $146.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 ("the prior quarter"). Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $12.9 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with net loss of $15.1 million, or $0.19 per share, in the prior quarter. Adjusted net loss((1)) for the second quarter was $11.8 million, and adjusted EPS((2)) was a loss of $0.15 per share. These results compare to an adjusted net loss of $10.5 million, and an adjusted EPS loss of $0.13 per share in the prior quarter which had higher adjustments for impairment charges and valuation allowance adjustments on deferred tax assets. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA((3)) was $20.7 million, up from $19.9 million in the prior quarter.

The increases in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to improvements in our international drilling and well servicing segments. Adjusted EBITDA also increased sequentially due to the reduced fair value of our phantom stock awards, for which we recognized a benefit of $0.8 million in the second quarter, while we recognized an expense of $0.8 million in the prior quarter. The increases in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by the impact of lower utilization and pricing in our coiled tubing services.

Operating Results

Production Services Business

Revenue from our production services business was $87.8 million in the second quarter, up 1% from the prior quarter. Well servicing revenues increased 12%, primarily driven by higher utilization for both maintenance and completion activity. Well servicing average revenue per hour was $569 in the second quarter, up from $558 in the prior quarter, while rig utilization was 60%, up from 54% in the prior quarter. Wireline services, our largest production services business, experienced an increase in perforating stage count of approximately 12%, yielding a revenue increase of 3%. The revenue increases in well servicing and wireline were offset by a 26% revenue decline in coiled tubing services. Both the Rockies and Eagle Ford districts faced more intense competition as completion activity slowed, which negatively impacted utilization and pricing. In addition, the Rockies experienced seasonal slowdowns due to wildlife stipulations, which ended in early May. Coiled tubing revenue days totaled 307 in the second quarter, as compared to 351 in the prior quarter, while revenue per day was $35,430, down from $42,131 in the prior quarter.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue from our production services business was 17% in the second quarter, down from 20% in the prior quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to utilization and pricing declines in coiled tubing services.

Drilling Services Business

Revenue from our drilling services business was $65.1 million in the second quarter, reflecting a 9% increase from the prior quarter. Average margin per day was $10,396, up from $10,349 in the prior quarter.

Our domestic drilling fleet was 95% utilized with average revenues per day of $26,864 in the second quarter, up from $26,767 in the prior quarter. Domestic drilling average margin per day was $10,131 in the second quarter, down from $10,944 in the prior quarter, primarily due to increased expenses for routine annual maintenance requirements, stacked rig costs for one rig at the end of its contract, higher mobilization costs associated with a rig that moved to a different region under a new contract, and the benefit in the previous quarter of $0.3 million, or approximately $235 per day, from recognition of the early termination of a domestic drilling contract.

International drilling rig utilization was 86% for the second quarter, up from 81% in the prior quarter. Average revenues per day were $40,806, up from $37,316 in the prior quarter, while average margin per day for the second quarter was $11,023, up from $8,894 in the prior quarter. The increases in revenue per day and margin per day were due to a greater number of days drilling in the current quarter, versus the prior quarter, as well as dayrate increases on certain rigs of approximately $1,000 per day.

Currently, 16 of our 17 domestic drilling rigs are earning revenues, 14 of which are under term contracts. Nine rigs are working in the Permian, five in Appalachia and two in the Bakken. Seven of the nine rigs in the Permian have contracts up for renewal in the third or fourth quarters of 2019. Five of those seven contracts have been extended or verbally agreed to be renewed, and two contracts are currently in negotiations to be extended. All contracts are expected to be renewed at roughly overall flat dayrates. In Appalachia, one rig is stacked and a second rig may stack in the third quarter; however, we expect the remaining four rigs to continue earning for the remainder of the year. In the Bakken, both of the contracted rigs expiring in the fourth quarter are in negotiations to be extended into the first quarter of 2020.

In Colombia, six of our eight rigs are currently earning revenue under daywork contracts. While overall demand for rigs remains strong, there are several rigs that may begin new contracts, move to a different current client or move to a new client which could cause a temporary reduction in utilization. Despite short-term uncertainty on certain contracts, we do expect five to seven of the rigs to remain active for the remainder of 2019.

Comments from our President and CEO

"We had solid performance once again from our drilling services segments which helped us generate favorable operating results and increase our cash position in the quarter," said Wm. Stacy Locke, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Colombia, we are pleased with the improvement in average margins per day and level of demand for the premium 1,500 horsepower rig class, which gives us confidence that demand for our rigs in that market will remain solid in 2020 despite uncertainty about certain contract extensions for the balance of 2019. We are very pleased with our Colombian team delivering first-rate operational and safety performance while at the same time generating some of the best financial results in many years.

"Our domestic drilling operations have proven to be strong and resilient, also delivering best-in-class safety and operational performance. Utilization rates for our domestic rigs continue to be strong and dayrates have remained steady, although we do anticipate some softness in the second half of the year, particularly in the Appalachian region, where we currently have one rig idle. Our outlook for our domestic operations remains positive.

"Our production services revenue improved sequentially; however, our gross margins fell below expectations. Despite challenging market conditions, we are focused on improving margins through realignment of certain businesses and reducing costs. Our well servicing business benefited from customers dedicating capital to well maintenance to boost or maintain production volumes. We also experienced higher utilization for completion-related services in this business. While our wireline revenue improved sequentially, coiled tubing activity was lower due to excess equipment capacity and seasonal factors in the Rockies. Poor visibility concerning completion activity in the second half of 2019 creates uncertainty regarding production services activity levels in the next two quarters. We do expect some customers to pause operations due to budget constraints for a period of time during the second half of 2019.

"For the remainder of the year, we remain focused on cash flow generation. We expect the second half of 2019 to be cash flow positive, with the third quarter likely to reflect a use of cash due to the semi-annual bond payment in September. Remaining capital expenditures will be routine maintenance in nature as the majority of discretionary spending was completed in the first half of 2019. While the Term Loan does not mature until December 2021, we are proactively exploring various strategic and other alternatives to address the uncertainties related to our ability to refinance our outstanding debts as their maturities approach," concluded Mr. Locke.

Third Quarter 2019 Guidance

In the third quarter of 2019, we expect continued weakness in coiled tubing services, a modest softening in well servicing, and certain clients reducing activity in wireline services. As a result, we expect revenue from our production services business segments to be down approximately 3% to 6% as compared to the second quarter of 2019, and margins to be flat at approximately 17% of revenue.

Due to the potential for an additional stacked rig in the Appalachia market, we expect domestic drilling services rig utilization to average approximately 88% to 92%, and generate average margins per day of approximately $9,700 to $10,200. Similarly, with the contract uncertainty in Colombia, we expect international drilling services rig utilization to average approximately 70% to 75%, and generate average margins per day of approximately $9,000 to $10,000.

We expect general and administrative expense to be approximately $20 million in the third quarter of 2019 partially due to higher phantom stock compensation expense relative to the prior quarter.

Liquidity

Working capital at June 30, 2019 was $106.5 million, up from $103.7 million at March 31, 2019, and down from $110.3 million at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, were $31.1 million, up from $27.9 million at March 31, 2019, and down from $54.6 million at year-end 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used $31.4 million of cash for the purchase of property and equipment, and our cash provided by operations was $4.0 million.

Capital Expenditures

Cash capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $31.4 million, including capitalized interest. We estimate total cash capital expenditures for 2019 to be approximately $50 million, which includes approximately $8 million for final payments on the construction of the new-build drilling rig that began operations in the first quarter, and previous commitments on high-pressure pump packages for coiled tubing completion operations.

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of each such measure to its most directly comparable U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measure, together with an explanation of why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, is provided in the following tables.



     _________________________________





     
              (1)                    Adjusted net loss represents net loss as reported adjusted to exclude
                                          impairments and the related tax benefit and valuation allowance adjustments
                                          on deferred tax assets. We believe that adjusted net loss is a useful measure
                                          to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating
                                          performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance against that
                                          of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial performance under
                                          GAAP. Adjusted net loss may not be comparable to other similarly titled
                                          measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss as
                                          reported to adjusted net loss is included in the tables to this news release.





     
              (2)                    Adjusted (diluted) EPS represents adjusted net loss divided by the weighted-
                                          average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect
                                          of dilutive securities, if any. We believe that adjusted (diluted) EPS is a
                                          useful measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core
                                          operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance
                                          against that of our peers, although it is not a measure of financial
                                          performance under GAAP. Adjusted (diluted) EPS may not be comparable to other
                                          similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of
                                          diluted EPS as reported to adjusted (diluted) EPS is included in the tables
                                          to this news release.





     
              (3)                    Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest expense, income tax
                                          (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment, and any loss on
                                          extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that our
                                          management uses to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core
                                          operating performance and to evaluate our long-term financial performance
                                          against that of our peers. We believe that this measure is useful to
                                          investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our core
                                          operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those
                                          of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be
                                          considered (a) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss),
                                          (b) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities or (c) as a
                                          measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds
                                          available for discretionary use. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
                                          other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  A
                                          reconciliation of net loss as reported to adjusted EBITDA is included in the
                                          tables to this news release.

               (1)  Adjusted EBITDA represents
                income (loss) before interest
                expense, income tax (expense)
                benefit, depreciation and
                amortization, impairment, and any
                loss on extinguishment of debt.
                Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
                measure that our management uses to
                facilitate period-to-period
                comparisons of our core operating
                performance and to evaluate our
                long-term financial performance
                against that of our peers. We
                believe that this measure is useful
                to investors and analysts in
                allowing for greater transparency of
                our core operating performance and
                makes it easier to compare our
                results with those of other
                companies within our industry.
                Adjusted EBITDA should not be
                considered (a) in isolation of, or
                as a substitute for, net income
                (loss), (b) as an indication of cash
                flows from operating activities or
                (c) as a measure of liquidity. In
                addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not
                represent funds available for
                discretionary use. Adjusted EBITDA
                may not be comparable to other
                similarly titled measures reported
                by other companies.  A
                reconciliation of net loss as
                reported to adjusted EBITDA is
                included in the table on page 13.

                valuation allowance adjustments
                on deferred tax assets. We
                believe that adjusted net loss
                is a useful measure to
                facilitate period-to-period
                comparisons of our core
                operating performance and to
                evaluate our long-term
                financial performance against
                that of our peers, although it
                is not a measure of financial
                performance under GAAP. Adjusted
                net loss may not be comparable
                to other similarly titled
                measures reported by other
                companies. A reconciliation of
                net loss as reported to adjusted
                net loss is included in the
                table above.




               (3)  Adjusted (diluted) EPS
                represents adjusted net loss
                divided by the weighted-average
                number of shares outstanding
                during the period, including the
                effect of dilutive securities,
                if any. We believe that adjusted
                (diluted) EPS is a useful
                measure to facilitate period-
                to-period comparisons of our
                core operating performance and
                to evaluate our long-term
                financial performance against
                that of our peers, although it
                is not a measure of financial
                performance under GAAP. Adjusted
                (diluted) EPS may not be
                comparable to other similarly
                titled measures reported by
                other companies. A
                reconciliation of diluted EPS as
                reported to adjusted (diluted)
                EPS is included in the table
                above.
