Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026April 22, 2026 5:35 PM
ACCESS NewswireHOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / April 22, 2026 / PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ:PTEN) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Other Key ItemsFirst Quarter 2026 Total Revenue of $1.1 billionFirst Quarter 2026 Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders of $25 millionFirst Quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $205 millionDeclared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on June 15, 2026 to holders of record as of June 1, 2026Management Commentary"We delivered another quarter of solid operating results, as our businesses successfully navigated a challenging commodity environment to start the year," said Andy Hendricks, Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with our performance given the macro backdrop earlier this year, with customers operating under budgets that were built around much lower oil price assumptions than what we see today. We continue to prioritize equipment and technology investments that improve demand for our drilling and completion businesses and help manage costs. We expect the benefits of these investments to build over time, particularly as U.S. land drilling and completion activity improves.""Looking ahead, geopolitical events have significantly increased the commodity strip for the next several years, and we believe U.S. activity will need to go higher just to hold U.S. onshore oil production steady," continued Mr. Hendricks. "The second quarter represents a market inflection in response to improved commodity prices. As a result, in our Drilling Services segment we are activating drilling rigs later in the second quarter, and we anticipate reactivating additional rigs in the second half of 2026. In our Completion Services segment, we are close to full utilization across our active fleet, and we are discussing price increases with our customers to more appropriately reflect an increasing demand environment coupled with current high industry utilization.""We continue to be excited about the strong free cash flow potential for our company this year," said Andy Smith, Chief Financial Officer. "Working capital headwinds in the first half of the year typically give way to tailwinds as the year progresses, and we expect this progression to be the same this year. As we continue to assess the outlook for the company under a new commodity price scenario, our corporate priorities remain unchanged; invest in equipment and digital technology that we believe will enhance our long-term sustainable operating advantage, generate strong and sustainable free cash flow, maintain a strong balance sheet, and return capital to our shareholders."Drilling ServicesFirst quarter Drilling Services segment revenue totaled $352 million, with adjusted gross profit(2) of $134 million. Our U.S. Contract Drilling operating days totaled 8,301, with an average of 92 rigs working in the quarter. Revenue and adjusted gross profit during the first quarter included approximately $3 million in early termination payments.Pricing was relatively steady for our U.S. Contract Drilling business. Additionally, we saw a full quarter of benefit for cost reduction measures that were implemented towards the end of 2025.Completion ServicesFirst quarter Completion Services revenue totaled $680 million, with adjusted gross profit of $98 million.First quarter activity in our Completion Services segment was impacted by roughly 5 days of disruption from winter storms across nearly our entire fleet. Aside from the associated downtime from the winter storms, utilization of our active equipment remained high, and equipment that can be powered by natural gas was near full utilization.Drilling ProductsFirst quarter Drilling Products revenue totaled $80 million, with adjusted gross profit of $33 million.Results in our Drilling Products segment were solid despite some industry headwinds. The segment was impacted by geopolitical events in the Middle East, with the Middle East comprising roughly 10-15% of the segment revenue. Starting late in the quarter, in the Middle East we saw an increase in costs, including personnel and logistics costs, some disruption associated with getting products to location, and a reduction in offshore activity.OtherFirst quarter Other revenue totaled $6 million, with adjusted gross profit of $3 million.OutlookFor the second quarter in Drilling Services, we expect an average U.S. rig count of approximately 90 rigs. We anticipate exiting the quarter at a higher level than the quarterly average, as we reactivate rigs during the second half of the quarter-resulting in an exit rate near our highest activity level so far this year. We expect adjusted gross profit in the Drilling Services segment of approximately $130 million. This outlook includes approximately $5 million of rig reactivation costs, with minimal second-quarter revenue expected from those rigs.In our Completion Services segment for the second quarter, we expect adjusted gross profit to be approximately $105 million, with continued high utilization of our active equipment. We will continue to prioritize investments that high-grade our assets with technologies that we believe will generate attractive long-term returns, versus investing to extend the life of diesel equipment.In our Drilling Products segment for the second quarter, we expect adjusted gross profit will decline slightly compared to the first quarter. We expect lower activity in Canada with normal seasonal spring breakup, as well as an increase in international costs, particularly in the Middle East.We expect Other adjusted gross profit in the second quarter to be approximately $5 million.For the second quarter, we expect general and administrative expense to be approximately $67 million, and we expect depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment expense of approximately $220 million.All references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.First Quarter Earnings Conference CallThe Company's quarterly conference call to discuss the operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, is scheduled for April 23, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, legal accruals and settlements, impairment of goodwill and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at 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. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC.

Patterson-UTI Energy Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2025February 4, 2026 4:30 PM
ACCESS NewswireHOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2026 / PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. (NASDAQ:PTEN) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Other Key ItemsFourth Quarter 2025 Total Revenue of $1.2 billionFourth Quarter 2025 Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders of $9 millionFourth Quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $221 millionFull year 2025 Cash from Operations of $961 million, Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $416 million in 2025Quarterly dividend raised by 25% to $0.10 per share, payable on March 16, 2026 to holders of record as of March 2, 2026Management Commentary"We closed 2025 with a strong fourth quarter, delivering steady results during what is typically a seasonally soft period," said Andy Hendricks, Chief Executive Officer. "This performance reflects strong operational execution in our core businesses and continued cost control in a challenging commodity environment. The results for 2025 highlight the margin resilience of our diversified drilling and completion operations and the effectiveness of our team in executing our strategic objectives. Despite a challenging market in 2025, we again delivered on our objective for strong free cash flow generation at all points in the cycle. I would like to thank the employees of Patterson-UTI for their hard work in 2025, and we look forward to delivering again in 2026.""U.S. drilling and completion activity has held relatively steady as we begin 2026," continued Mr. Hendricks. "Oil prices have been resilient, despite increased OPEC+ supply and a subdued global economic growth forecast. In natural gas basins, growing LNG exports and rising domestic demand remain a long-term tailwind for drilling and completion activity as our customers assess the long-term outlook for the commodity.""We delivered another year of strong free cash flow through a disciplined, company-wide focus on cash management and capital allocation," said Andy Smith, Chief Financial Officer. "We expect to continue delivering strong free cash flow in 2026, and given our free cash flow expectations, we are increasing our quarterly dividend by 25% to $0.10 per share. Over the past two years, we have returned approximately two-thirds of our adjusted free cash flow to investors through dividends and share repurchases, and we remain committed to returning at least 50% of our adjusted free cash flow to our shareholders."Drilling ServicesFourth quarter Drilling Services segment revenue totaled $361 million, with adjusted gross profit of $132 million. Our U.S. Contract Drilling operating days totaled 8,596, with an average of 93 rigs working in the quarter.In our U.S. Contract Drilling business, our successful cost reduction measures mostly offset the revenue decrease during the quarter.Nearly all our rigs are now equipped with our proprietary Cortex® automation applications, and we see strong demand as we continue to develop new automation software applications to further differentiate our operations. As well designs become more complex, we expect to see a continued bifurcation among service providers, and the quality of our rigs and operating platform position us favorably going forward. Given strong performance, we are experiencing ongoing success with our performance-based agreements, with customers increasingly looking to partner with drilling contractors who can enhance operational efficiency.Completion ServicesFourth quarter Completion Services revenue totaled $702 million, with adjusted gross profit of $111 million.We experienced minimal holiday-related downtime, as most customers maintained consistent completion activity compared to the third quarter. For crews where dedicated customers did take extended holiday breaks, our commercial team efficiently managed frac schedules to keep our fleets operating near full utilization. Overall, fourth quarter completion activity and pricing were steady compared to the previous quarter.Completion Services adjusted EBITDA was higher in the second half of 2025 compared to the first half, reflecting the quality of our fleet and the investments we have made over the past year to add new technology to our portfolio, streamline operations, and improve our cost structure. We will continue to redirect capital in our completions business to high-grade our fleet over the next year. As we direct our capital towards high-grading our asset base, we are likely to have fewer fleets in operation as we continue to idle lower quality diesel assets.During the fourth quarter, we launched our proprietary eos™ Completions Digital Platform, which advances real-time visualization, controls and data integration throughout the completions process. We have revenue generating agreements in place and see strong customer demand for Vertex™ frac automation, fully integrated data management, fuel/proppant/chemicals logistics optimization, and reservoir analytics, all of which can be deployed on any of our frac fleets. eos and Vertex should have strong growth potential in 2026 and have already shown promising results in enabling a more efficient and consistent completion operation. Together, our differentiated digital and automation platform allows us to lower both operating and maintenance costs while also delivering more consistent service quality for the customer.Drilling ProductsFourth quarter Drilling Products revenue totaled $84 million, with adjusted gross profit of $34 million.Revenue per industry rig in the United States remained near company record levels, reflecting our strong market position in drill bits and the continued success of our downhole tool product innovations. International revenue was down slightly compared to the third quarter due to lower-than-expected sales in the Middle East, although we delivered revenue growth in several key markets, including Latin America and Asia-Pacific.In the fourth quarter, we opened a new manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia and are now manufacturing drill bits in country, which should give us an advantage as growth resumes in the Middle East.OtherFourth quarter Other revenue totaled $5 million, with adjusted gross profit of $1 million.OutlookWithin the Drilling Services segment for the first quarter, we expect our average U.S. rig count will be in the low-to-mid 90s. We expect adjusted gross profit within the Drilling Services segment to decline by less than 5% from the fourth quarter.In our Completion Services segment for the first quarter, we expect adjusted gross profit to be approximately $95 million. We expect activity to decline slightly in the first quarter with an impact from first quarter winter weather.In our Drilling Products segment for the first quarter, we expect adjusted gross profit will improve slightly compared to the fourth quarter. We expect slightly lower revenue in the United States due to lower activity, which we expect will be offset by an increase in activity and revenue from our International business.We expect Other adjusted gross profit in the first quarter to be roughly flat compared to the fourth quarter.For the first quarter, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to be approximately $65 million, and we expect depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment expense of approximately $225 million.We continue to expect full-year 2026 capital expenditures to be less than $500 million, net of asset sales.All references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference CallThe Company's quarterly conference call to discuss the operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, is scheduled for February 5, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, legal accruals and settlements, impairment of goodwill, and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at 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. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
(unaudited, dollars in thousands) Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) : Net cash provided by operating activities $961,219 $1,175,536 Less capital expenditures (589,029) (678,386)Plus proceeds from disposal of assets, including insurance recoveries 44,117 25,832 Adjusted free cash flow $416,307 $522,982 We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from disposal of assets, including insurance recoveries. We present adjusted free cash flow as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that it is an important liquidity measure and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company's ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the company, that could be available for financing cash flows, such as dividend payments, share repurchases and/or repurchases of long-term indebtedness. Our computations of adjusted free cash flow may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flows from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.
