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 exploration and production companies in Canada, the United States and certain international locations. The address of the registered office is Suite 800, 525 - 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1G1.

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a) Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

 

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 financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 22, 2020.

 

(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgments 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 audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. As described in Note 2(c), due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the resulting impact on the economy and in particular the prices of oil and natural gas, the estimates and judgements used to prepare these financial statements were subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty.

 

(c) Impact of COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Governments worldwide, including those countries in which Precision operates, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused a material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown and decreased demand for oil. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions; however, the long-term success of these interventions is not yet determinable. The current challenging economic climate has had a significant adverse impact on the Corporation including, but not limited to, substantial reductions in revenue and cash flows, increased risk of non-payment of accounts receivable and risk of future impairments of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

5

 

 

As a result of the decrease in demand, worldwide inventories of oil have increased significantly. However, in the second quarter voluntary production restraint from national oil companies and governments of oil-producing nations along with curtailments in the U.S. and Canada have shifted global oil markets from a position of over supply to inventory draws. The situation remains dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the financial effect on the Corporation remains unknown at this time. Estimates and judgements made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are increasingly difficult and subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty during this volatile period.

(b)Seasonality

 

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 32% (2019 - 29%) of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 34% (2019 - 34%) of consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2020. 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 5. IMPAIRMENT

 

Precision reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Due to the global economic slowdown and significant commodity price reductions in the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation identified indications of impairment in each of its cash-generating units (CGU) at March 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Corporation tested all CGUs for impairment as at March 31, 2020.

 

At June 30, 2020, Precision reviewed each of its cash-generating units (CGU) and did not identify indications of impairment and therefore, did not test its CGUs for impairment.

 

There is risk that impairment charges may be required in future periods due to the volatility and uncertainty of the economy and commodity price environment caused by COVID-19. Increasing costs of capital combined with declining activity levels could result in material asset impairments. However, the introduction of various government economic stimulus programs and continued efforts of certain oil-producing countries to restrict supply may provide stability to the energy sector. The outcome of future impairment tests cannot be predicted with any certainty and will be impacted by the assumptions and estimates based on market conditions at that time.

 

NOTE 6. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Precision incurred restructuring charges of $6 million (2019 - nil) and $16 million (2019 - $6 million), respectively. These charges were comprised of severance, as the Corporation aligned its cost structure to reflect reduced global activity, and certain costs associated with the shutdown of directional drilling operations in the United States in the first quarter of 2020.

 

In response to the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19, governments enacted various employer assistance and economic stimulus programs. In the first half of 2020, the Government of Canada introduced the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Precision recognized $9 million of salary and wage subsidies. These subsidies were presented as operating and general and administrative expense reductions of $6 million and $3 million, respectively.

During the first half of 2020, Precision redeemed US$25 million principal amount and repurchased and cancelled US$3 million of its 6.50% unsecured senior notes due 2021, repurchased and cancelled US$5 million of its 5.25% unsecured senior notes due 2024, US$2 million of its 7.125% unsecured senior notes due 2026 and US$1 million of its 7.75% unsecured senior notes due 2023 and drew US$4 million under its Senior Credit Facility.

 

At June 30, 2020, Precision was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Credit Facility.

 

Long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2020 will mature as follows:

 

2021  $89,913 
2023   466,502 
Thereafter   910,542 
   $1,466,957 

 

On April 9, 2020 we agreed with the lenders of our Senior Credit Facility to reduce the consolidated Covenant EBITDA to consolidated interest expense coverage ratio for the most recent four consecutive quarters greater than or equal to 2.5:1 to 2.0:1 for the period ending September 30, 2020, 1.75:1 for the period ending December 31, 2020, 1.25:1 for the periods ending March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2021, 1.75:1, for the period ending December 31, 2021, 2.0:1 for the period ending March 31, 2022 and 2.5:1 for periods ending thereafter.

 

During the covenant relief period, Precision’s distributions in the form of dividends, distributions and share repurchases are restricted to a maximum of US$15 million in 2020 and US$25 million in each of 2021 and 2022, subject to a pro forma senior net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than or equal to 1.75:1.

 

In addition, during 2021, our North American and acceptable secured foreign assets must directly account for at least 65% of consolidated Covenant EBITDA calculated quarterly on a rolling twelve-month basis, increasing to 70% thereafter. Precision also has the option to voluntarily terminate the covenant relief period prior to its March 31, 2022 end date.

 

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.

 

In addition, the Senior Credit Facility contains certain covenants that place restrictions on our ability to incur or assume additional indebtedness; dispose of assets; change our primary business; incur liens on assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and enter into speculative swap agreements.

(b) Non-Management Directors – Deferred Share Unit Plan

 

Precision has a deferred share unit (DSU) plan for non-management directors whereby fully vested DSUs are granted quarterly based on an election by the non-management director to receive all or a portion of his or her compensation in DSUs. These DSUs are redeemable in cash or for an equal number of common shares upon the director’s retirement. The redemption of DSUs in cash or common shares is solely at Precision’s discretion.

(e) Executive Performance Share Units

 

Precision granted PSUs to certain senior executives with the intention of settling them in voting shares of the Corporation either issued from treasury or purchased in the open market. These PSUs vest over a three-year period and incorporate performance criteria established at the date of grant that can adjust the number of performance share units available for settlement from zero to two times the amount originally granted.

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at June 30, 2020 was approximately $1,030 million (December 31, 2019 – $1,428 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 judgment 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 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.
