Parker Drilling Company today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, which included a net loss of $2.1 million, or a $0.14 loss per share on revenues of $156.3 million. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $25.9 million (1).
Michael W. Sumruld, the Company’s Senior Vice President and CFO, said, “We are very pleased with our results in 2019 despite the ongoing challenges in the U.S. markets. Our substantial improvement across all business segments was due to the intense focus our employees have on providing innovative, reliable, and efficient solutions to our customers so they can minimize their operational risks and overall well costs. In particular, our O&M backlog grew over 250% to $627 million at the end of 2019 from $176 million at the end of 2018. We believe our focus on capital efficiency positions us to generate long-term positive cash flow going forward.
“Our fourth-quarter results were in-line with our expectations, reflecting weaker industry conditions in the U.S. and improving conditions in several of our key international markets. In the U.S., our rental tools results were generally in line with the decline in the U.S. rig count and our (lower 48) drilling results were impacted by seasonally lower utilization in the inland waterways of the Gulf of Mexico. In the International rental tools and International and Alaska drilling segments, we posted sequential revenue improvement in the fourth quarter as rental tools experienced higher utilization of our surface and tubulars product line in Guyana, the U.A.E., and India, while drilling benefited from the new Alaska O&M contract, higher utilization in Mexico, and our recently awarded barge rig contract in Kazakhstan,†concluded Sumruld.
