Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023

HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. (the “Company” or “ICD”) (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Third quarter 2023 Highlights

• Net loss, as defined below, of $7.6 million, or $0.54 per share
• Adjusted net loss, as defined below, of $5.2 million, or $0.37 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, of $12.9 million
• Adjusted net debt, as defined below, of $183.2 million
• 13.4 average rigs working during the quarter
• Fully burdened margin per day of $14,005

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported revenues of $44.2 million, net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.54 per share, adjusted net loss (defined below) of $5.2 million, or $0.37 per share, and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) of $12.9 million.  These results compare to revenues of $49.1 million, a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.53 per share, adjusted net loss of $4.8 million, or $0.35 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, and revenues of $56.4 million, net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.30 per share, adjusted net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Chief Executive Officer Anthony Gallegos commented, “The third quarter of 2023 represented an inflection point for ICD.  First and most important, the third quarter represents the low point for ICD operating utilization driven by the most recent commodity downturn.  The quarter also represented the end of the transition of rigs from our Haynesville to our Permian market and the elevated rig churn associated with repositioning our fleet with customers with longer term drilling programs.  While these items weighed on our second and third quarter financial results, we believe the transition of rigs between basins and customers has positioned ICD well for the remainder of 2023 and fiscal 2024.

During the third quarter, we saw increased opportunities for incremental rig reactivations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023.  From these opportunities we have secured contract awards for two incremental rigs commencing mid-fourth quarter, and we are pursuing additional reactivation opportunities for late fourth quarter and early 2024 start.  While we are experiencing increased competition and associated dayrate pressure on these early-cycle reactivations, ICD’s success so far is being driven by increased demand for rigs with our 300 series specifications.  In this regard, we completed two additional 200-to-300 series conversions during the third quarter, have already completed a third conversion in the fourth quarter, and are working on additional contract opportunities that would justify additional conversions over the next three to six months.

I am also pleased that we continued making progress toward our debt reduction goals during the third quarter, repaying an additional $5.0 million of principal on our convertible notes at quarter end, and reducing overall adjusted net debt by $8.0 million.”

Quarterly Operational Results

In the third quarter of 2023, operating days decreased sequentially by 10% compared to the second quarter of 2023.  The Company’s marketed fleet operated at 51% utilization and recorded 1,229 revenue days, compared to 1,601 revenue days in the third quarter of 2022, and 1,369 revenue days in the second quarter of 2023. During the third and second quarter of 2023, the Company also recognized early termination revenue of approximately $0.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Operating revenues in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $44.2 million, compared to $49.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.  Revenue per day in the third quarter of 2023 was $32,925, compared to $28,646 in the third quarter of 2022 and $34,467 in the second quarter of 2023.  Revenue per day statistics exclude early termination revenue recognized during the quarter.

Operating costs in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $27.5 million, compared to $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.  Fully burdened operating costs were $18,920 per day in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $17,305 in the third quarter of 2022 and $19,005 in the second quarter of 2023.  Reported cost per day excludes Haynesville-to-Permian rig transition costs of approximately $0.8 million and $2.8 million in the third and second quarter of 2023, respectively.

Fully burdened rig operating margins in the third quarter of 2023 were $14,005 per day, compared to $11,341 per day in the third quarter of 2022 and $15,462 per day in the second quarter of 2023.  The Company currently expects per day operating margins in the fourth quarter of 2023 to fall approximately 14% sequentially driven primarily by lower average dayrates as rigs recontract in the current market environment and higher costs associated with reactivation expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $6.9 million (including $2.0 million of non-cash compensation), compared to $7.0 million (including $1.7 million of non-cash compensation) in the third quarter of 2022 and $5.2 million (including $1.3 million of non-cash compensation) in the second quarter of 2023.  Cash selling, general and administrative expenses increased sequentially due to a $1.1 million charge associated with modification and extension of an existing drilling contract with a customer, which has been excluded in the Company’s calculation of adjusted net loss per share and adjusted EBITDA.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $9.2 million, including $2.4 million relating to non-cash amortization of Convertible Note debt discount and debt issuance costs.  The Company has excluded this non-cash amortization when presenting adjusted net loss.  During the third quarter of 2023, the Company redeemed $5.0 million of Convertible Notes at par plus accrued interest.

Drilling Operations Update

The Company currently expects to operate approximately 14.5 average rigs during the fourth quarter of 2023 and exit 2023 with 17 to 18 rigs under contract.  The Company’s backlog of drilling contracts with original terms of six months or longer is $46.8 million.  This backlog excludes rigs operating on short-term pad-to-pad drilling contracts with original terms of less than six months. 

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity Update

Cash outlays for capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2023, net of asset sales and recoveries, were $3.9 million. 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of $6.0 million and a revolving line of credit with availability of $15.7 million, and net working capital of $5.8 million. The Company reported adjusted net debt as of September 30, 2023 of $183.2 million, consisting of the full amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes and outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit.

____________________

(1)   Marketed rigs exclude idle rigs that will not be reactivated unless market conditions materially improve.

(2)   Rig operating days represent the number of days the Company’s rigs are earning revenue under a contract during the period, including days that standby revenue is earned. Rig operating days exclude rigs earning revenue on an early termination basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and June 30, 2023, there were 92.3, 4.6 and 97.9 operating days in which we earned revenue on a standby basis, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 204.8 and 27.8 operating days in which we earned revenue on a standby basis, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $5.9 million of early termination revenue, respectively.

(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 the Company’s 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 $3.0 million, $3.3 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and June 30, 2023, respectively and $10.0 million and $10.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and (ii) early termination revenues of $0.7 million and $5.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.  There were no early termination revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(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 $3.0 million, $3.3 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $10.0 million and $10.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022; (ii) overhead costs of $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.8 million and $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022; and (iii) rig decommissioning and transition costs between basins of $0.8 million, zero and $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $4.3 million and zero during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net debt, adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA is consistent with how EBITDA is calculated under the Company’s credit facility for purposes of determining the Company’s compliance with various financial covenants.  The Company defines “adjusted net debt” as long-term notes (excluding long-term capital leases) less cash.  The Company defines “adjusted net (loss) income” as net (loss) income before: asset impairment, net; gain or loss on disposition of assets, net; amortization of debt discount; amortization of issuance costs; gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; change in fair value of embedded derivative liability, gain on extinguishment of derivative and other adjustments.  The Company defines “EBITDA” as earnings (or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and asset impairment, net and the Company defines “adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, gain or loss on disposition of assets, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on extinguishment of derivative and other non-recurring items added back to, or subtracted from, net income for purposes of calculating EBITDA under the Company’s credit facilities.  Neither adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is a measure of net (loss) income as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Management believes adjusted net debt, adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow the Company’s stockholders to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compliance with various financial covenants under the Company’s credit facility and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period and against the Company’s peers without regard to the Company’s financing methods or capital structure or non-recurring, non-cash transactions. The Company excludes 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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. The Company’s presentation of adjusted net debt, adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.  The Company’s computations of adjusted net debt, adjusted net (loss) income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
