HOUSTON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC. (the "Company" or "ICD") (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Net loss of $10.1 million, or $2.52 per share.
  • Adjusted net loss, as defined below, of $11.0 million, or $2.73 per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, of $4.0 million.
  • Net debt, excluding finance leases and net of deferred financing costs, of $119.5 million.
  • Marketed fleet utilization of 32%.
  • Fully burdened margin of $7,000 per day.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported revenues of $21.4 million, a net loss of $10.1 million, or $2.52 per share, adjusted net loss (defined below) of $11.0 million, or $2.73 per share, and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) of $4.0 million.  These results compare to revenues of $52.9 million, a net loss of $12.9 million, or $3.40 per share, adjusted net loss of $5.5 million, or $1.45 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, and revenues of $38.5 million, a net loss of $28.2 million, or $7.53 per share, an adjusted net loss of $10.6 million, or $2.82 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. 

Chief Executive Officer Anthony Gallegos commented, "Oil and gas demand destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the U.S. land rig count and as a result our operating rig count declined dramatically throughout the quarter.  Nevertheless, cost initiatives favorably impacted the quarter, permitting us to lower operating costs to below $13,000 per day and to expand our operating margins in spite of the historic decline in operating activity.  Efforts to expand our liquidity profile during the quarter were also successful, as we increased our cash balances and expanded our financial liquidity to over $40 million. Although forward visibility is very limited, we expect the third quarter to be the trough for ICD's operating rig count, and continue to work constructively with existing and potential new customers on opportunities for late third quarter and fourth quarter reactivations."

Quarterly Operational Results

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company's marketed fleet operated at 32% utilization and recorded 834 revenue days, compared to 84% utilization and 2,330 revenue days in the second quarter of 2019, and 66% utilization and 1,738 revenue days in the first quarter of 2020.

Operating revenues in the first quarter of 2020 totaled $21.4 million, compared to $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $38.5 million in the first quarter of 2020.  Included in operating revenues were $2.2 million of early termination revenue recognized during the quarter.  Excluding the impacts from early termination revenue, revenue per day in the second quarter of 2020 was $19,741, compared to $20,868 in the second quarter of 2019 and $19,823 in the first quarter of 2020.

Operating costs in the second quarter of 2020 totaled $14.1 million, compared to $37.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2020.  Fully burdened operating costs were $12,741 per day in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $14,155 in the second quarter of 2019 and $14,648 in the first quarter of 2020.

Excluding the impact from early termination revenues and decommissioning costs, fully burdened rig operating margins in the second quarter of 2020 were $7,000 per day, compared to $6,713 per day in the second quarter of 2019 and $5,175 per day in the first quarter of 2020.  Sequential improvements were primarily the result of cost reduction initiatives that impacted the entire second quarter of 2020, as well as favorable group and workers compensation insurance items.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were $3.5 million (including $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation), compared to $3.0 million (including $0.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation) in the second quarter of 2019 and $3.8 million (including $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation) in the first quarter of 2020.  Sequential decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were associated with cost cutting initiatives that impacted the entire second quarter, offset by furlough costs and professional fees associated with the various amendments to the Company's existing term loan facility and merger consideration payment schedule and related matters of $1.0 million.

Drilling Operations Update

The Company exited the second quarter of 2020 with six rigs earning revenues under drilling contracts. The Company expects its operating rig count to reach a trough at three to four rigs during the third quarter of 2020, with current rig reactivation opportunities existing for reactivations late during the third quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2020.  The Company's backlog of drilling contracts with original terms of six months or longer was $14.9 million as of June 30, 2020, representing 2.24 rig years of activity.  Approximately 84% of this backlog is expected to be realized during the remainder of 2020.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity Update

Cash outlays for capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2020, net of asset sales and recoveries, was $2.6 million, including payments of $2.1 million for prior period deliverables.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash on hand of $17.4 million, an undrawn revolving line of credit with availability of $9.2 million based upon eligible accounts receivable, $130 million principal amount outstanding under its term loan, and $10 million outstanding under a loan issued under the Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") under the CARES Act.  The term loan includes a committed $15 million accordion that remains undrawn.

During the quarter, the Company instituted an at-the-market ("ATM") common stock offering with a maximum approved offering amount of $11 million.  During the second quarter of 2020, the Company issued 1,192,566 shares of common stock pursuant to this program at a weighted average gross selling price of $6.15 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $7.3 million.  During the second quarter, the Company amended its term loan to permit in the future the one-time payment of one quarters' interest on a payment-in-kind ("PIK") basis, as well as extended the payment terms on approximately $2.9 million of certain merger consideration payments until June 30, 2022 that were originally scheduled for payment during the second quarter of 2020.

(1)

Marketed rigs exclude idle rigs that will not be reactivated until upgrades or conversions are complete.



(2)

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. 



(3)

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. 



(4)

Rig utilization is calculated as rig operating days divided by the total number of days our marketed drilling rigs are available during the applicable period.



(5)

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 (i) out-of-pocket costs paid by customers of $2.7 million, $3.7 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $6.8 million and $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, (ii) revenues associated with the amortization of intangible revenue acquired in the Sidewinder merger of $46 thousand and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and (iii) early termination revenues of $2.2 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.2 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.  The three and six months ended June 30, 2020 did not include any intangible revenue.



(6)

Average cost per operating day represents 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 paid by customers of $2.7 million, $3.7 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $6.8 million and $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, (ii) overhead costs expensed due to reduced rig upgrade activity of $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively, and $1.0 and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and (iii) rig de-commissioning costs associated with stacking deactivated rigs of $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures 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 credit facility for purposes of determining our compliance with various financial covenants.  We define "adjusted net (loss) income" as net (loss) income before: asset impairment, net; (gain) loss on disposition of assets, net; intangible revenue; severance and merger-related expenses; and other adjustments.  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 credit facilities.  Neither adjusted net (loss) income, 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) income, 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 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) income, 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) income, 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) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's return on assets, cost of capital and tax structure. Our presentation of adjusted net (loss) income, 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) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

(1)

We did not record any asset impairment during the second quarter of 2020.  In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of $16.6 million to reflect the remaining assets on rigs removed from our marketed fleet, as well as certain other component equipment, inventory and assets held for sale.  In the second quarter of 2019, we recorded an impairment of $5.9 million to reflect (i) a $3.1 million impairment of non-marketable SCR drilling equipment, (ii) a $1.1 million impairment of drilling assets sold at auction, (iii) a $0.2 million impairment of real property acquired in the Sidewinder merger and (iv) a $1.2 million impairment of miscellaneous drilling equipment previously held for sale, but deemed unsalable in the current market environment. 



(2)

In the first and second quarters of 2020, we recorded a gain on the disposition of miscellaneous drilling equipment. 



(3)

In the first and second quarters of 2019, we amortized intangible revenue related to an unfavorable contract liability acquired in the Sidewinder merger.



(4)

Severance and merger-related expenses were recorded in the first and second quarters of 2019 primarily comprised of severance, professional fees and other Sidewinder merger-related expenses.  Severance expenses of $1.1 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with our cost reduction measures instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and current deteriorating market conditions.  We did not record any severance expense during the second quarter of 2020.
