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."

                                  have been allocated to the respective
                                  period in which the expense was
                                  incurred. Accordingly adjusted EBITDA
                                  will differ from what was reported

              (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
