HOUSTON, Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. (the "Company" or "ICD") (NYSE: ICD) today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Second quarter 2022 Highlights
Net loss, as defined below, of $2.8 million, or $0.21 per share.
Adjusted net loss, as defined below, of $9.8 million, or $0.72 per share.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, of $9.2 million, representing an approximate 158% sequential improvement from the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted net debt, as defined below, of $158.0 million.
Marketed fleet utilization of 71%.
Fully burdened margin of $8,946 per day, representing an approximate 56% sequential improvement from the first quarter of 2022.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reported revenues of $42.3 million, a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.21 per share, adjusted net loss (defined below) of $9.8 million, or $0.72 per share, and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) of $9.2 million. These results compare to revenues of $19.8 million, a net loss of $14.9 million, or $2.22 per share, 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, and revenues of $35.0 million, a net loss of $58.8 million, or $5.20 per share, an adjusted net loss of $11.1 million, or $0.98 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Chief Executive Officer Anthony Gallegos commented, "I am extremely pleased with our performance during the second quarter, on both a financial and operational front. Sequential margin improvements of 56% drove sequential EBITDA improvements of over 150%. Dayrates for ICD rigs continue to increase with most ICD rigs now set to reprice one to two additional times before year-end. Based on contracts in hand and current spot prices, we expect to see incremental margin per day improvements in the third quarter of approximately 14% and further meaningful improvements in the fourth quarter as well. All of this should drive meaningful EBITDA improvements through the remainder of this year and into 2023.
Story continues
Operationally, I believe the second quarter was pivotal for ICD. We reactivated our 18th rig on schedule, and on budget, and it has commenced operations in the Haynesville effective August 1, 2022 on a one-year contract with a large independent. Our 19th rig is scheduled to reactivate at the beginning of the fourth quarter and our 20th rig is scheduled to reactivate late in the fourth quarter. We also have begun preparing to reactivate our 21st rig early in the first quarter of 2023. Based upon current spot dayrates for 300 series rigs, all of these rigs should pay back their reactivation costs in one year or less.
But more importantly, we completed all engineering work necessary to convert the significant majority of our 200 series rigs to 300 series specifications with very modest incremental investments of approximately $650,000 per rig. Rigs meeting 300 series specifications are in the shortest supply and command the highest dayrates, and we expect to earn less than one-year paybacks on these conversions based upon dayrate differentials today. These conversions require minimal rig downtime and we plan to execute these conversions as our customer base requires. Today, nine of our ten operating 200 series rigs are eligible for this conversion, and we have already signed two contracts for such conversions in the third and fourth quarters of 2022. In addition, six of our non-marketed rigs are eligible for this conversion, and we have now added two of these rigs to our marketed fleet, increasing our marketed fleet from 24 rigs to 26 rigs.
With this backdrop, I could not be more excited about ICD's strategic positioning in this market dynamic. Our focus on short-term, pad-to-pad contracts is allowing us to quickly convert rapidly improving dayrate momentum into our reported results, and we have now started to build our contractual backlog into 2023. Our overall rig reactivation plan and schedule remains intact, and with our 200-300 series conversion program announced, we have the ability to offer from top to bottom what we believe is one of the most competitive rig fleets in the industry. This is not only driving improved financial performance, but continual high-grading of our customer base. During the second quarter, we added two additional large independents to our customer base, and today, of our 18 operating rigs, approximately 80% are working for public companies or the two largest private operators in the Permian and Haynesville plays."
Quarterly Operational Results
In the second quarter of 2022, operating days increased sequentially by 5% compared to the first quarter of 2022. The Company's marketed fleet operated at 71% utilization and recorded 1,540 revenue days, compared to 1,077 revenue days in the second quarter of 2021, and 1,463 revenue days in the first quarter of 2022.
Operating revenues in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $42.3 million, compared to $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $35.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Revenue per day in the second quarter of 2022 was $24,875, compared to $16,514 in the second quarter of 2021 and $21,823 in the first quarter of 2022. 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 second quarter of 2022 totaled $28.9 million, compared to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $27.2 million in first quarter of 2022. Fully burdened operating costs were $15,929 per day in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $13,352 in the second quarter of 2021 and $16,069 in the first quarter of 2022. Sequential decreases in operating costs per day were driven primarily by improved cost absorption, partially offset by higher labor costs associated with increases in field-level wages during the latter part of the second quarter of 2022.
Fully burdened rig operating margins in the second quarter of 2022 were $8,946 per day, compared to $3,162 per day in the second quarter of 2021 and $5,754 per day in the first quarter of 2022. The Company currently expects per day operating margins in the third quarter of 2022 to increase sequentially approximately 14% compared to the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by favorable dayrate momentum as well as reactivation of the Company's 18th rig.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2022 were $4.9 million (including $0.7 million of non-cash compensation), compared to $4.1 million (including $0.9 million of non-cash compensation) in the second quarter of 2021 and $5.2 million (including $1.0 million of non-cash compensation) in the first quarter of 2022. Cash selling, general and administrative expenses continue to remain elevated due to higher recruiting and onboarding expenses.
During the quarter, the Company recorded interest expense of $8.2 million, including $2.0 million, or $0.15 per share, relating to non-cash amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. The Company has excluded these non-cash expenses when presenting adjusted net income/loss per share. Following approval of matters submitted to the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2022 Annual Meeting on June 8, 2022, embedded derivative features within the Company's Senior Secured PIK Toggle Convertible Notes due 2026 were deemed extinguished for financial accounting purposes. As a result, during the second quarter of 2022 the Company reclassified the conversion rate feature ($69.2 million) of the derivative liability on its balance sheet to additional paid-in capital and recognized a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of the PIK interest rate feature of $10.8 million. This non-cash gain was excluded when presenting adjusted net income/loss per share.
The Company's forecasted effective tax rate was adjusted during the second quarter of 2022, resulting in tax expense of $2.2 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to a tax benefit during the first quarter of 2022. Of this tax expense, $0.3 million relates to cash taxes, which are attributable to state and local franchise taxes.
Drilling Operations Update
The Company exited the second quarter with 17 rigs operating, with our 18th rig commencing operations August 1, 2022. Overall, the Company's operating rig count averaged 16.9 rigs during the quarter. The Company's backlog of drilling contracts with original terms of six months or longer was $54.3 million as of June 30, 2022. This backlog excludes rigs operating on short term pad-to-pad drilling contracts. Approximately 64% of this backlog is expected to be realized in 2022.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity Update
Cash outlays for capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2022, net of asset sales and recoveries, were $4.5 million. This included $3.8 million associated with prior period deliveries.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $7.3 million, a revolving line of credit with availability of $14.0 million, and $157.5 million principal amount outstanding under its new convertible notes.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company did not issue any shares of its common stock through its at-the-market ("ATM") offering program.
