HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. (the "Company" or "ICD") (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three months ended September30,2021.
Third quarter 2021 Highlights
In the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported revenues of $24.0 million, a net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.59 per share, adjusted net loss (defined below) of $13.7 million, or $1.87 per share, and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) of $0.7 million. These results compare to revenues of $10.2 million, a net loss of $15.2 million, or $2.67 per share, adjusted net loss of $15.5 million, or $2.73 per share, and adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, and revenues of $19.8 million, a net loss of $14.9 million, or $2.22 per share, an adjusted net loss of $14.6 million, or $2.18 per share, and adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Chief Executive Officer Anthony Gallegos commented, "Market conditions continue to improve for our business, buoyed by strong macro supply and demand fundamentals and shrinking availability of super-spec rigs across our key operating basins. This is manifesting itself in rapidly improving incremental operating and EBITDA margins and utilization, as well as increased forward visibility into 2022.
We realized sequential margin per day improvements in the third quarter of 9% and expect to realize further improvements in the fourth quarter over third quarter levels between 30% and 40%. With further visibility into 2022, we currently expect first quarter 2022 margins to increase over 100% compared to third quarter 2021 levels. With respect to utilization, by year end we expect to be operating 17 of our marketed rigs, seven of which will be 300 series rigs. Overall, we remain on course to achieve our goal of entering 2022 generating positive free cash flow and believe ICD is very well positioned to capitalize on what we believe will be a very strong 2022 and the early innings of an extended up-cycle in demand for our contract drilling services and super-spec rig fleet."
Quarterly Operational Results
In the third quarter of 2021, operating days increased sequentially by 18% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The Company's marketed fleet operated at 58% utilization and recorded 1,268 revenue days, compared to 460 revenue days in the third quarter of 2020, and 1,077 revenue days in the second quarter of 2021. The Company currently expects operating days in the fourth quarter of 2021 to increase sequentially by approximately 9% compared to the third quarter of 2021.
Operating revenues in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $24.0 million, compared to $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Revenue per day in the third quarter of 2021 was $17,141, compared to $18,078 in the third quarter of 2020 and $16,514 in the second quarter of 2021. The sequential increase quarter over quarter in revenue per day was driven by higher dayrates on contract renewals and reactivated rigs.
Operating costs in the third quarter of 2021 totaled $20.1 million, compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $17.0 million in second quarter of 2021. Operating costs during the third quarter of 2021 included $0.1 million associated with the reactivation of rigs compared to $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2021. Operating costs during the third quarter of 2020 included $0.8 million of rig reactivation costs. Fully burdened operating costs were $13,685 per day in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $14,155 in the third quarter of 2020 and $13,352 in the second quarter of 2021. Sequential increases in operating costs per day were driven primarily by higher labor costs associated with a tightening labor market.
Excluding the impact from reactivation costs, fully burdened rig operating margins in the third quarter of 2021 were $3,456 per day, compared to $3,923 per day in the third quarter of 2020 and $3,162 per day in the second quarter of 2021. The Company currently expects per day operating margins in the fourth quarter of 2021 to increase sequentially between 30% and 40% compared to the third quarter of 2021 driven primarily by favorable dayrate momentum.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2021 were $4.1 million (including $0.8 million of non-cash compensation), compared to $2.8 million (including $0.7 million of non-cash compensation) in the third quarter of 2020 and $4.1 million (including $0.9 million of non-cash compensation) in the second quarter of 2021. The sequential increase in cash selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increasedrecruiting costsand corporate insurance costs.
Drilling Operations Update
The Company exited the third quarter with 15 operating rigs and with one additional rig reactivating in October 2021. Overall, the Company's operating rig count averaged 13.8 rigs during the quarter. The Company expects to reactivate one additional rig by year end. The Company's backlog of drilling contracts with original terms of six months or longer was $19.7 million as of September30,2021. This backlog excludes rigs operating on shorter term pad-to-pad drilling contracts. Approximately 52% of this backlog is expected to be realized during the remainder of 2021.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity Update
Cash outlays for capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2021, net of asset sales and recoveries, were $4.3 million.
As of September30,2021, the Company had cash on hand of $4.3 million, a revolving line of credit with availability of $8.9 million, and $132.8 million principal amount outstanding under its term loan. The term loan includes a committed $15 million accordion that remained undrawn as of September 30, 2021. The Company applied for full forgiveness of the $10 million Payroll Protection Program loan ("PPP loan") under the CARES Act during the second quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company received notice that the PPP loan was forgiven and paid in full. As a result, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $10.1 million was recognized during the third quarter of 2021.

During the third quarter, the Company issued an aggregate of 686,739 shares of common stock pursuant to this program at a weighted average gross selling price of $3.03 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $2.1 million.

During the third quarter, the Company also sold 40,800 shares pursuant to the terms of its equity line of credit at a weighted average gross selling price of $3.03 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $0.1 million.
