Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. Reports Financial Results For The Fourth Quarter And Year Ended December 31, 2016

HOUSTON, Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC. (the "Company") (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016. 

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Net loss of $10.4 million, or $0.28 per share.
  • Adjusted net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.14 per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million.
  • 78.2% utilization of marketed rigs.
  • 936 revenue days.
  • Margin per operating day, excluding reactivation costs, of $7,543.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reported revenues of $18.0 million, a net loss of $10.4 million, or $0.28 per share, an adjusted net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.14 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million.  This compares to revenues of $14.5 million, a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.19 per share, an adjusted net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.17 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, and revenues of $23.7 million, a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.22 per share, an adjusted net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported revenues of $70.1 million, a net loss of $22.2 million, or $0.67 per share, an adjusted net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.43 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million.  This compares to revenues of $88.4 million, a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.33 per share, an adjusted net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $25.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Chief Executive Officer Byron Dunn commented, "I am very pleased with ICD's performance throughout the extraordinarily difficult 2016 fiscal year.  Despite suffering the worst energy industry downturn in history, ICD remained EBITDA positive with substantial margins generated by working rigs.  During 2016, the ICD team reorganized and streamlined, and exited 2016 with a much more efficient cost structure.  True pad-optimal ShaleDriller® rigs were the last rigs to go down during the downturn, and have been the first to return to work as the market recovers.  Since the end of 2016, ICD has signed term contracts with tenors ranging from six months to one year or longer for six rigs, and 100% of its marketed fleet is now contracted.  ICD will be running more rigs than at any other point in the Company's history.  Driven by what we believe is 100% effective utilization of available pad optimal rigs across the industry, dayrates for pad optimal ShaleDriller rigs have now moved higher from trough dayrates.  We are in discussions with multiple customers for the addition of three ShaleDriller rigs to our marketed fleet, including our final rig conversion, and expect to resume ICD's growth arc shortly as market conditions continue to improve."

Quarterly Operational Results

The Company's marketed fleet operated at 78.2% utilization and recorded 936 revenue days for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 64.7% utilization and 774 revenue days for the third quarter of 2016 and 87.1% utilization and 962 revenue days for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Rig operating margins, excluding reactivation and rig construction costs, for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $7,543 per day, compared to $7,806 per day for the third quarter of 2016 and $10,419 per day for the fourth quarter of 2015. 

Operating costs for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $12.1 million, compared to $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Fourth quarter 2016 operating costs included $0.9 million of reactivation costs and $0.2 million of rig construction costs.  On an operating cost per day basis, operating expenses, excluding reactivation and rig construction costs, were $10,681 per day for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $9,614 for the third quarter of 2016 and $13,298 for the fourth quarter of 2015. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $4.3 million (including $0.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation), compared to $3.2 million (including $1.0 million of non-cash stock based compensation) for the third quarter of 2016 and $3.1 million (including $1.1 million of non-cash stock based compensation) for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The sequential increase in selling, general and administrative expenses compared to the third quarter of 2016 relates primarily to the accrual of annual incentive compensation expense during the quarter.  Excluding the impact of these compensation accruals, aggregate selling, general and administrative expenses declined sequentially over 8% between the third and fourth quarters of 2016.

Depreciation expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $6.2 million, compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. 

Drilling Operations Update

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company reactivated two idle rigs on one-year term contracts.  Since the end of the year, the Company signed contracts with tenors ranging from six to 15 months for five rigs operating under contracts expiring during the first quarter of 2017.  In addition, ICD signed a one-year term contract for its remaining idle drilling rig, with expected mobilization during the middle of the second quarter of 2017.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity Update

Aggregate cash outlays for capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2016 were $3.8 million.  The Company's capital expenditure budget for 2017 is $14.1 million.  The carrying value of assets held for sale at year end, after the write-down to fair value, was $3.9 million.

At December 31, 2016, the Company's backlog of revenues from contracts with original terms of six months or more was $42.5 million, of which $36.8 million is estimated to be realized in 2017.  This backlog does not include expected revenues to be earned from six term contracts signed after year end.  Adjusted to include these new contracts, the Company's backlog at December 31, 2016 would have been $75.0 million, of which $61.8 million would be estimated to be realized in 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had drawn $25.8 million on its $85.0 million revolving credit facility and had net debt, excluding capital leases, of $18.7 million.  The borrowing base under the Company's credit facility was $91.8 million as of December 31, 2016.

The following table provides various financial and operational data for the Company's operations during the three months ending December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016 and the twelve months ending December 31, 2016 and 2015.  This information contains non-GAAP financial measures of the Company's operating performance.  The Company believes this non-GAAP information is useful because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our management.  Additionally, it highlights operating trends and aids analytical comparisons.  However, this information has limitations and should not be used as an alternative to operating income (loss) or cash flow performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, as this information excludes certain costs that may affect the Company's operating performance in future periods.

(1)

Rig operating days represent the number of days our rigs are earning revenue under a contract during the period, including days that standby revenues are earned.  For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016 there were 92.0, 13.5 and 236.0 operating days in which the Company earned revenue on a standby basis, respectively, including 92.0, 6.5 and 222.0 standby-without-crew days, respectively.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 there were 882.1 and 471.3 operating days in which the Company earned revenue on a standby basis, respectively, including 839.0 and 125.5 standby-without-crew days, respectively. 



(2)

Average number of operating rigs is calculated by dividing the total number of rig operating days in the period by the total number of calendar days in the period.  



(3)

Rig utilization is calculated as rig operating days divided by the total number of days our drilling rigs are available during the applicable period.  During the third quarter of 2015, the Company elected to remove its two 100 series non-walking rigs from its marketed fleet pending completion of their planned rig conversions to 200 series, pad-optimal status.  Rig utilization during the first nine months of 2016 excludes one of these 100 series rigs.  The conversion of the other 100 series rig was completed during the second quarter of 2016 and the rig re-entered the marketed fleet in June 2016.  Rig utilization excludes this rig during the first five months of 2016.



(4)

Average revenue per operating day represents total contract drilling revenues earned during the period divided by rig operating days in the period.  Excluded in calculating average revenue per operating day are revenues associated with the reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs paid by customers of $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Included in calculating average revenue per operating day for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 were $1.8 million of early termination revenues associated with a contract termination at the end of the first quarter of 2016.



(5)

Average cost per operating day represents total direct operating costs incurred during the period divided by rig operating days in the period.  The following costs are excluded in calculating average cost per operating day: (i) out-of-pocket costs reimbursed by customers of $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, (ii) new crew training costs of $30 thousand, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, (iii) construction overhead costs expensed due to reduced rig construction activity of $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.5 million and $0.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and (iv) rig reactivation costs for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, of $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively (excluding $30 thousand and $0.4 million, respectively, of new crew training costs (included in (ii) above)), and (v) rig reactivation costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 of $3.0 million (excluding $0.5 million of new crew training costs (included in (ii) above)).

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that are used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA is consistent with how EBITDA is calculated under our revolving credit facility for purposes of determining our compliance with various financial covenants.  We define "EBITDA" as earnings (or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and we define "adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, non-cash asset impairments, gains or losses on disposition of assets, and other non-recurring items added back to, or subtracted from, net income for purposes of calculating EBITDA under our revolving credit facility.  Neither adjusted net loss, EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is a measure of net income as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Management believes adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow our stockholders to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compliance with various financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure or non-recurring, non-cash transactions. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in calculating adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. None of adjusted net loss, EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA should be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), the most closely comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's return of assets, cost of capital and tax structure. Our presentation of adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.  Our computations of adjusted net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
