PRECISION DRILLING CORPORATION

Second Quarter Report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

This report contains “forward-looking information and statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. For a full disclosure of the forward-looking information and statements and the risks to which they are subject, see the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Statements” later in this report. This report contains references to certain Financial Measures and Ratios, including Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, loss (gain) on investments and other assets, gain on repurchase of unsecured senior notes, finance charges, foreign exchange, gain on asset disposals and depreciation and amortization), Funds Provided by (Used in) Operations, Net Capital Spending, Working Capital and Total Long-term Financial Liabilities. These terms do not have standardized meanings prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. See “Financial Measures and Ratios” later in this report.

Precision Drilling Corporation ("Precision" or the "Company") delivered outstanding second quarter financial results and demonstrated its cash flow potential. During the quarter, Precision generated cash flow from operations of $174 million, allowing it to reduce debt by $102 million, increase its cash position by $17 million, return $23 million to shareholders through share buybacks, and invest $38 million in its fleet. For 2024, Precision remains firmly committed to repaying debt between $150 million and $200 million and allocating 25% to 35% of its free cash flow to share buybacks.

Additional Financial Highlights

Revenue was $429 million and comparable to $426 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to higher activity and pricing in both Canada and internationally, which more than offset lower results in the U.S.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $115 million and included share-based compensation charges of $10 million. By comparison, Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023 was $142 million and included share-based compensation charges of $3 million.

Net earnings was positive for the eighth consecutive quarter at $21 million or $1.44 per share compared to $27 million or $1.97 per share in the second quarter of 2023.

Completion and Production Services revenue increased 43% over the same period last year to $66 million, while Adjusted EBITDA rose 66% to $12 million, reflecting the successful integration of the CWC Energy Services (CWC) acquisition in late 2023.

Internationally, our revenue nearly doubled over the second quarter of last year as we realized US$40 million of contract drilling versus US$23 million in 2023.

Operational Highlights

Canada's activity increased 18%, averaging 49 active drilling rigs versus 42 in the second quarter of 2023.

Canadian revenue per utilization day grew to $36,075 compared to $33,535 in the same period last year.

U.S. activity averaged 36 drilling rigs compared to 51 for the second quarter of 2023.

U.S. revenue per utilization day was US$33,227 compared to US$35,576 in the same quarter last year.

International activity increased 61% compared to the second quarter of 2023, with eight drilling rigs active following rig reactivations in 2023. Revenue per utilization day was US$55,301 compared to US$50,551 in the second quarter of 2023.

Service rig operating hours increased 44% over the same quarter last year totaling 57,051 hours driven by the CWC acquisition.

Summary for the three months ended June 30, 2024:

Revenue increased to $429 million compared with $426 million in the second quarter of 2023 as a result of higher Canadian and international activity and day rates, partially offset by lower U.S. activity and day rates.

Adjusted EBITDA was $115 million as compared with $142 million in 2023, primarily due to lower U.S. activity and day rates, partially offset by increased Canadian and international results, and increased share-based compensation of $7 million. Please refer to “Other Items” later in this report for additional information on share-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 27% as compared with 33% in 2023.

U.S. revenue per utilization day was US$33,227 compared with US$35,576 in 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of lower fleet average day rates and idle but contracted rig revenue, partially offset by higher recoverable costs. We did not recognize revenue from idle but contracted rigs as compared with US$5 million in 2023. Revenue per utilization day, excluding the impact of idle but contracted rigs was US$33,227 compared with US$34,396 in 2023, a decrease of 3%. Sequentially, revenue per utilization day, excluding idle but contracted rigs, was largely consistent with the first quarter of 2024.

U.S. operating costs per utilization day increased to US$22,427 compared with US$18,963 in 2023. The increase is mainly due to higher recoverable costs, fixed costs spread over fewer activity days and higher rig operating costs. Sequentially, operating costs per utilization day increased US$708 due to increased rig operating costs and higher recoverable costs.

Canadian revenue per utilization day was $36,075 compared with $33,535 in 2023. The increase was a result of higher average day rates, partially offset by lower recoverable costs as compared with the second quarter of 2023. Sequentially, revenue per utilization day increased $479 due to higher recoverable costs.

Canadian operating costs per utilization day increased to $21,652, compared with $21,332 in 2023, resulting from higher field wages due to our rig mix, partially offset by lower recoverable costs. Sequentially, daily operating costs increased $1,693 due to higher repairs and maintenance and fixed overheads spread over fewer activity days.

We realized US$40 million of international contract drilling revenue compared with US$23 million in 2023.

General and administrative expenses were $29 million as compared with $23 million in 2023 primarily due to higher share-based compensation charges.

Net finance charges were $18 million, a decrease of $3 million compared with 2023 as a result of lower outstanding long-term debt.

Capital expenditures were $38 million compared with $45 million in 2023 and by spend category included $8 million for expansion and upgrades and $30 million for the maintenance of existing assets, infrastructure, and intangible assets.

Income tax expense for the quarter was $11 million as compared with $19 million in 2023. During the second quarter, we continued to not recognize deferred tax assets on certain international operating losses.

Generated cash from operations of $174 million, reduced debt by $102 million, repurchased $23 million of shares, and ended the quarter with $48 million of cash and more than $500 million of available liquidity.

Summary for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $957 million, a decrease of 3% from 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $258 million as compared with $345 million in 2023. Our lower Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to decreased U.S. drilling day rates and activity, partially offset by strengthening day rates and activity in Canada and internationally.

General and administrative costs were $74 million, an increase of $35 million from 2023 primarily due to higher share-based compensation charges and the impact of the weakening Canadian dollar on our translated U.S. dollar-denominated costs.

Net finance charges were $37 million, a decrease of $8 million from 2023 due to our lower outstanding debt balance, partially offset by the impact of the weakening of the Canadian dollar on our U.S. dollar-denominated interest expense.

Cash provided by operations was $240 million as compared with $242 million in 2023. Funds provided by operations were $230 million, a decrease of $67 million from the comparative period.

Capital expenditures were $94 million in 2024, a decrease of $2 million from 2023. Capital spending by spend category included $23 million for expansion and upgrades and $71 million for the maintenance of existing assets, infrastructure, and intangible assets.

Reduced debt by $103 million from the redemption of US$56 million of 2026 unsecured senior notes and repayment of $26 million of Canadian Real Estate Credit Facilities.

Repurchased $40 million of common shares under our Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), which included a $7 million accrual for anticipated repurchases subsequent to June 30, 2024. Please refer to “Other Items” later in this report for additional information on our NCIB.

STRATEGY

Precision’s vision is to be globally recognized as the High Performance, High Value provider of land drilling services. Our strategic priorities for 2024 are focused on increasing our capital returns to shareholders by delivering best-in-class service and generating free cash flow.

Precision’s 2024 strategic priorities and the progress made during the second quarter are as follows:

Concentrate organizational efforts on leveraging our scale and generating free cash flow.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for global energy demand is positive with rising demand for all types of energy including oil and gas driven by economic growth, increasing demand in third world regions, and emerging demand from data centers. Oil prices remain healthy, and producers remain disciplined while geopolitical issues continue to threaten supply. In Canada, recent commissioning of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and the imminent start-up of LNG Canada provide significant tidewater access for both Canadian crude and natural gas, supporting additional Canadian drilling activity. In the U.S., the next wave of LNG projects is expected to add approximately 12 bcf/d of export capacity over the next three years, supporting additional U.S. natural gas drilling activity.

In Canada, we currently have 74 rigs operating, which is over 25% higher than last year, and expect this trend to continue throughout the third quarter due to activity in the Montney driven by strong condensate demand and increased drilling for heavy oil targets. Since the start-up of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in May, customer activity in heavy oil targeted areas has exceeded our expectations, resulting in full utilization of our Super Single pad capable rigs. Our Canadian fleet is in high demand and we expect customer demand for our Super Triple and Super Single pad capable fleets to exceed supply into 2025 as Canadian take-away capacity further increases. Despite strong underlying customer demand, our activity levels could be impacted in the near term if the current wildfires intensify.

In the U.S., we currently have 38 rigs operating as drilling activity continues to be constrained by weak natural gas prices and pending merger and acquisition transactions. We view these headwinds as short-term in nature and expect customer demand will remain stable in the third quarter with a likely increase in the fourth quarter as producers modestly increase drilling plans into 2025.

Internationally, we expect to have eight rigs running throughout all of 2024, representing a 40% increase in activity compared to 2023. We continue to bid our remaining idle rigs within the region and remain optimistic about our ability to secure additional rig activations.

As the premier well service provider in Canada, the outlook for this business is positive. We expect the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and LNG Canada to drive more service related activity while increased regulatory spending requirements are expected to result in more abandonment work. Customer demand will remain strong and with continued labor constraints, we expect firm pricing into the foreseeable future.

We believe cost inflation is largely behind us and will continue to look for opportunities to lower costs.

Contracts

The following chart outlines the average number of drilling rigs under term contract by quarter as at July 30, 2024. For those quarters ending after June 30, 2024, this chart represents the minimum number of term contracts from which we will earn revenue. We expect the actual number of contracted rigs to vary in future periods as we sign additional term contracts.

Total		63		65		62		58		62		52		47		48		43		48

Capital Spending and Free Cash Flow Allocation

Capital spending in 2024 is expected to be $195 million and by spend category includes $153 million for maintenance, infrastructure, and intangibles and $42 million for expansion and upgrades. We expect to spend $173 million in the Contract Drilling Services segment, $17 million in the Completion and Production Services segment and $5 million in the Corporate segment. At June 30, 2024, Precision had capital commitments of $152 million with payments expected through 2026. We remain committed to our debt reduction plans and in 2024 expect to reduce debt by $150 million to $200 million and allocate 25% to 35% of free cash flow before debt repayments for share repurchases, while remaining committed to achieving a sustained Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio⁽¹⁾ of below 1.0 times by the end of 2025.

Seasonality

In Canada, because of the seasonal nature of well site access, term contracted rigs normally generate 250 utilization days, with some pad drilling trending toward 300 days. Accordingly, our anticipated Canadian rigs under term contract may fluctuate as customers complete their commitments earlier than projected. In most regions in the U.S. and internationally, term contracts normally generate 365 utilization days per year. In accordance with the seasonality of our business and varying levels of rig count, we generally experience builds of working capital in the first and third quarters and releases of working capital in the second and fourth quarters.

SEGMENTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Precision’s operations are reported in two segments: Contract Drilling Services, which includes our drilling rig, oilfield supply and manufacturing divisions; and Completion and Production Services, which includes our service rig, rental and camp and catering divisions.

Revenue from Contract Drilling Services was $366 million, 4% lower than 2023, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19% to $120 million. The decrease in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower U.S. activity, partially offset by higher Canadian and international activity and day rates.

Drilling rig utilization days (drilling days plus move days) in the U.S. were 3,236, 30% lower than 2023. Drilling rig utilization days in Canada were 4,464, 18% higher than 2023. Drilling rig utilization days in our international business were 728, 61% higher than 2023 as our international rig fleet returned to work under renewed long-term contracts.

Revenue per utilization day in the U.S. decreased 7% from 2023 and was primarily the result of lower fleet average day rates and idle but contracted rig revenue, offset by higher recoverable costs. We did not recognize revenue from idle but contracted rigs as compared with US$5 million in 2023. Drilling rig revenue per utilization day in Canada increased 8% due to higher average day rates, partially offset by lower recoverable costs. Our international revenue per utilization day for the quarter was 9% higher than 2023 due to renewed long-term contracts.

In the U.S., 55% of utilization days were generated from rigs under term contract as compared with 66% in 2023. In Canada, 42% of our utilization days were generated from rigs under term contract, compared with 39% in 2023.

U.S. operating costs per utilization day increased 18% from 2023 and was primarily due to due to higher recoverable costs, fixed costs spread over fewer activity days and higher rig operating costs. Our Canadian operating costs per utilization day increased 2% as compared with 2023 and was due to higher field wages due to our rig mix, partially offset by lower recoverable costs.

Our general and administrative expenses increased $1 million as compared with 2023 primarily as a result of higher share-based compensation.

Completion and Production Services revenue increased to $66 million, an increase of $20 million from 2023. Our increased revenue was due to higher service activity as our second quarter service rig operating hours increased 44% compared with 2023. Completion and Production Services generated 6% of its revenue from U.S. operations, compared with 8% in 2023.

Operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 78% as compared with 80% in 2023. The decreased percentage in 2024 was the result of our operating efficiency. As compared to 2023, our second quarter general and administrative expenses increased 35%, primarily due to higher share-based compensation charges and higher overhead charges associated with the CWC acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12 million as compared with $8 million in 2023. Our higher Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 was due to increased activity, partially offset by higher share-based compensation and overhead charges.

SEGMENT REVIEW OF CORPORATE AND OTHER

Our Corporate and Other segment provides support functions to our operating segments. The Corporate and Other segment had negative Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million as compared with negative Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million in 2023. Our lower current quarter Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by higher share-based compensation.

OTHER ITEMS

Share-based Incentive Compensation Plans

We have several cash and equity-settled share-based incentive plans for non-management directors, officers, and other eligible employees. Our accounting policies for each share-based incentive plan can be found in our 2023 Annual Report.

A summary of expense amounts under these plans during the reporting periods are as follows:

	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Cash settled share-based incentive plans		8,677		2,081		30,436		(10,014	)
Equity settled share-based incentive plans		1,202		653		2,077		1,133
Total share-based incentive compensation plan expense		9,879		2,734		32,513		(8,881	)

Allocated:
Operating		2,686		923		7,938		(960	)
General and Administrative		7,193		1,811		24,575		(7,921	)
		9,879		2,734		32,513		(8,881	)

Cash settled share-based compensation expense for the quarter was $9 million as compared with $2 million in 2023. The higher expense in 2024 was primarily due to our improved share price performance as compared with 2023.

During the first quarters of 2023 and 2024, we issued Executive Restricted Share Units (Executive RSUs) to certain senior executives. Accordingly, our equity-settled share-based compensation expense for the quarter was $1 million as compared with $1 million in 2023.

As at June 30, 2024, the majority of our share-based compensation plans were classified as cash-settled and will be impacted by changes in our share price. Although accounted for as cash-settled, Precision retains the ability to settle certain vested units in common shares at its discretion.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

Pursuant to our NCIB, we repurchased and cancelled 366,214 common shares for $23 million during the second quarter of 2024. We entered into an Automated Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) with an independent broker to permit the Corporation to repurchase common shares during our internal blackout period. The volume of purchases is determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on purchase price and maximum volume parameters established by the Corporation under the ASPP. At June 30, 2024, we recorded a $7 million liability for purchases that are estimated to occur during our blackout period based on the parameters of the ASPP with a corresponding decrease to share capital.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The oilfield services business is inherently cyclical in nature. To manage this, we focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet in order to have the financial flexibility to manage our growth and cash flow regardless of where we are in the business cycle. We maintain a variable operating cost structure so we can be responsive to changes in demand.

Our maintenance capital expenditures are tightly governed and highly responsive to activity levels with additional cost savings leverage provided through our internal manufacturing and supply divisions. Term contracts on expansion capital provide more certainty of future revenues and return on our capital investments.

In 2024, we reduced debt by $103 million comprised of the redemption of US$56 million of 2026 unsecured senior notes and the repayment of our Canadian Real Estate Credit Facilities for $26 million. As at June 30, 2024, we had $855 million outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility, Real Estate Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes as compared with $929 million at December 31, 2023. The current blended cash interest cost of our debt is approximately 7.0%.

Senior Credit Facility

On June 28, 2024, we extended our Senior Credit Facility’s maturity date, revised the available borrowing capacity, and amended certain terms of the facility. The maturity date was extended to June 28, 2027, and the size was revised to US$375 million, down from US$447 million.

Our Senior Credit Facility requires that we comply with certain covenants including a leverage ratio of consolidated senior debt to consolidated Covenant EBITDA of less than 2.5:1. For purposes of calculating the leverage ratio, consolidated senior debt only includes secured indebtedness. The Senior Credit Facility limits the redemption and repurchase of junior debt subject to a pro forma senior net leverage covenant test of less than or equal to 1.75:1.

Unsecured Senior Notes

The unsecured senior notes require that we comply with certain restrictive and financial covenants, including an incurrence based consolidated interest coverage ratio test of consolidated cash flow, as defined in the senior note agreements, to consolidated interest expense of greater than 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. In the event our consolidated interest coverage ratio is less than 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters, the unsecured senior notes restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness.

For further information, please see the unsecured senior note indentures which are available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR.

Covenants

As at June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants of our Senior Credit Facility and Real Estate Credit Facility.

	Covenant		At June 30, 2024

Hedge of investments in foreign operations

We utilize foreign currency long-term debt to hedge our exposure to changes in the carrying value of our net investment in certain foreign operations as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

We have designated our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt as a net investment hedge in our U.S. operations and other foreign operations that have a U.S. dollar functional currency. To be accounted for as a hedge, the foreign currency denominated long-term debt must be designated and documented as such and must be effective at inception and on an ongoing basis. We recognize the effective amount of this hedge (net of tax) in other comprehensive income. We recognize ineffective amounts (if any) in net earnings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Because of the nature of our business, we are required to make judgements and estimates in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements that could materially affect the amounts recognized. Our judgements and estimates are based on our past experiences and assumptions we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. The critical judgements and estimates used in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are described in our 2023 Annual Report.

EVALUATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as at June 30, 2024, Precision’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that are filed or submitted to Canadian and U.S. securities authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Canadian and U.S. securities laws. In addition, as at June 30, 2024, there were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Management will continue to periodically evaluate the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and will make any modifications from time to time as deemed necessary.

Based on their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and even those controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We reference certain additional Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP) measures that are not defined terms under IFRS Accounting Standards to assess performance because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors.

*Adjusted EBITDA*		We believe Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, loss (gain) on investments and other assets, gain on repurchase of unsecured senior notes, finance charges, foreign exchange, gain on asset disposals and depreciation and amortization), as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Net Earnings and our reportable operating segment disclosures, is a useful measure because it gives an indication of the results from our principal business activities prior to consideration of how our activities are financed and the impact of foreign exchange, taxation and depreciation and amortization charges. The most directly comparable financial measure is net earnings.

Net earnings		20,701			26,900			57,217			122,730

Funds Provided by (Used in) Operations

We believe funds provided by (used in) operations, as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the funds our principal business activities generate prior to consideration of working capital changes, which is primarily made up of highly liquid balances.

The most directly comparable financial measure is cash provided by (used in) operations.

Net Capital Spending

We believe net capital spending is a useful measure as it provides an indication of our primary investment activities.

The most directly comparable financial measure is cash provided by (used in) investing activities.

Net capital spending is calculated as follows:

	For the three months ended June 30,						For the six months ended June 30,
(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)	2024			2023			2024			2023

Cash used in investing activities		26,943			44,062			102,180			122,879

Working Capital

We define working capital as current assets less current liabilities, as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Working capital is calculated as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)	2024		2023
Current assets		469,949		510,881
Current liabilities		311,479		374,009
Working capital		158,470		136,872

Total Long-term Financial Liabilities

We define total long-term financial liabilities as total non-current liabilities less deferred tax liabilities, as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Total long-term financial liabilities is calculated as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)	2024		2023
Total non-current liabilities		970,269		1,069,364
Deferred tax liabilities		53,130		73,515
Total long-term financial liabilities		917,139		995,849

Non-GAAP Ratios

We reference certain additional Non-GAAP ratios that are not defined terms under IFRS to assess performance because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors.

*Adjusted EBITDA % of Revenue*		We believe Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of consolidated revenue, as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Net Earnings, provides an indication of our profitability from our principal business activities prior to consideration of how our activities are financed and the impact of foreign exchange, taxation and depreciation and amortization charges.

*Long-term debt to long-term debt plus equity*		We believe that long-term debt (as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position) to long-term debt plus equity (total shareholders’ equity as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position) provides an indication of our debt leverage.

*Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA*		We believe that the Net Debt (long-term debt less cash, as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position) to Adjusted EBITDA ratio provides an indication of the number of years it would take for us to repay our debt obligations.

Supplementary Financial Measures

We reference certain supplementary financial measures that are not defined terms under IFRS to assess performance because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors.

*Capital Spending by Spend Category*		We provide additional disclosure to better depict the nature of our capital spending. Our capital spending is categorized as expansion and upgrade, maintenance and infrastructure, or intangibles.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Precision adopted Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to IAS 1, as issued in 2020 and 2022. These amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and clarify requirements for determining whether a liability should be classified as current or non-current. Due to this change in accounting policy, there was a retrospective impact on the comparative Statement of Financial Position pertaining to the Corporation's deferred share unit (DSU) plan for non-management directors which are redeemable in cash or for an equal number of common shares upon the director's retirement. In the case of a director retiring, the director's respective DSU liability would become payable and the Corporation would not have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months. As such, the liability is impacted by the revised policy. The following changes were made to the Statement of Financial Position:

As at January 1, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $12 million and non-current share-based compensation liability decreased by $12 million.

As at December 31, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $8 million and non-current share-based compensation liability decreased by $8 million.

The Corporation's other liabilities were not impacted by the amendments. The change in accounting policy will also be reflected in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2024.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except share numbers and per share amounts)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Precision Drilling Corporation (Precision or the Corporation) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and is a provider of contract drilling and completion and production services primarily to oil and natural gas and geothermal exploration and production companies in Canada, the United States and certain international locations.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

(a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as noted in Note 2 (d).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 30, 2024.

(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation of anticipated future events involves uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used in preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements may change as future events unfold, more experience is acquired, or the Corporation’s operating environment changes.

Significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements remained unchanged from those disclosed in the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(c) Environmental Reporting Regulations

Environmental reporting continues to evolve and the Corporation may be subject to additional future disclosure requirements. The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has issued two IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards with the objective to develop a global framework for environmental sustainability disclosure. The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) has also released two Exposure Drafts on the Proposed Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards which are aligned with the ISSB, in which the comment period closed on June 10, 2024 . Final CSSB standards are anticipated to be issued later in 2024.

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have also issued a proposed National Instrument 51-107 Disclosure of Climate-related Matters which sets forth additional reporting and disclosure requirements for Canadian public companies. Until such time as the CSA and CSSB make final decisions on sustainability standards for Canada, there is no requirement for public companies in Canada to adopt sustainability standards. Precision continues to monitor the development of these reporting requirements as it progresses with its determination of the financial and disclosure-related implications of complying with these regulations.

(d) Change in Accounting Policy

The Corporation has adopted Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to IAS 1, as issued in 2020 and 2022. The amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. They clarify certain requirements for determining whether a liability should be classified as current or non-current and require new disclosures for non-current liabilities that are subject to covenants within 12 months after the reporting period.

Due to the change in policy, there is a retrospective impact on the comparative statement of financial position, as the Corporation has a deferred share unit (DSU) plan for non-management directors which are redeemable in cash or for an equal number of common shares upon the director's retirement. In the case of a director retiring, the director's respective DSU liability would become payable and the Corporation would not have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months. As such, the liability is impacted by the revised policy. The following presentation changes were made to the Statement of Financial Position:

As at January 1, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $12 million and non-current share-based compensation liability decreased by $12 million.

As at December 31, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $8 million and non-current share-based compensation liability decreased by $8 million.

The related liability is now classified as current at June 30, 2024 because the DSUs can be redeemed by the holders within 12 months after the reporting period. The Corporation's other liabilities were not impacted by the amendments.

The change in accounting policy will also be reflected in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2024.

(b)

Seasonality

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 57% (2023 – 45%) of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 39% (2023 – 37%) of consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2024. The ability to move heavy equipment in Canadian oil and natural gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. As warm weather returns in the spring, the winter's frost comes out of the ground rendering many secondary roads incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment until they have thoroughly dried out. The duration of this “spring break-up” has a direct impact on Precision’s activity levels. In addition, many exploration and production areas in northern Canada are accessible only in winter months when the ground is frozen hard enough to support equipment. The timing of freeze up and spring break-up affects the ability to move equipment in and out of these areas. As a result, late March through May is traditionally Precision’s slowest time in this region.

NOTE 4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Corporation has two reportable operating segments; Contract Drilling Services and Completion and Production Services. Contract Drilling Services includes drilling rigs, procurement and distribution of oilfield supplies, and manufacture, sale and repair of drilling equipment. Completion and Production Services includes service rigs, oilfield equipment rental and camp and catering services. The Corporation provides services primarily in Canada, the United States and certain international locations.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. At the end of each reporting period, investments and other assets are measured at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian and U.S. Real Estate Credit Facilities are measured at amortized cost and approximate fair value as this indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at June 30, 2024 was approximately $839 million (December 31, 2023 – $867 million).

Financial assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs in the fair value determination and are as follows:

Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The estimated fair value of unsecured senior notes is based on level II inputs. The fair value is estimated considering the risk-free interest rates on government debt instruments of similar maturities, adjusted for estimated credit risk, industry risk and market risk premiums.

NOTE 11. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

During the quarter, Precision committed to sell certain assets contained within the Contract Drilling and Completion and Production Services segments. The identified assets were previously acquired through business acquisitions and subsequently deemed as redundant. Accordingly, these assets were presented as held for sale at June 30, 2024 as sales efforts have been initiated and expected to be completed within one year. At June 30, 2024, property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $7 million was reclassified as assets held for sale.
