Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Precision Drilling Corporation reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $452,800 thousand, up 11.4% year over year, driven by robust Canadian heavy oil drilling, stronger U.S. activity and higher well servicing demand. Despite this, Adjusted EBITDA declined 10.2% to $97,055 thousand, and the company recorded a small net loss of $893 thousand (net loss attributable to shareholders of $1,195 thousand), reflecting higher operating costs, international restructuring charges and about $11 million of additional depreciation from shorter drill pipe lives.

Contract Drilling Services revenue rose to $389,844 thousand, but segment Adjusted EBITDA fell 15% and margin compressed to 24.3% as U.S. rig reactivation and Middle East cost pressures offset higher Canadian and U.S. utilization. Completion and Production Services performed more strongly, with revenue of $65,632 thousand, up 21.7%, and Adjusted EBITDA up 38.1% as service rig hours increased nearly 25%. Cash provided by operations was $145,569 thousand, funding capital spending of $76,364 thousand and enabling a $50 million reduction in long-term debt to $626,327 thousand, while working capital remained solid at $146,912 thousand.

Management maintains a 2026 capital program of $265 million and a plan to reduce debt by $100 million while potentially returning up to 50% of free cash flow before debt repayments through share repurchases. The outlook calls for modest improvement in North American drilling and rising U.S. margins into the fourth quarter, supported by firm oil prices and term contracts on seven international rigs. A key risk factor is a Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Reassessment and related proposals on intercompany dividend deductions, with a disclosed maximum potential tax exposure of about $155 million (excluding interest); Precision intends to contest these assessments and has not recorded a liability.

Positive

  • $50 million of long-term debt was repaid in Q2 2026, reducing total long-term financial liabilities to $692,988 thousand and supporting management’s plan to cut debt by $100 million in 2026.

Negative

  • Net earnings attributable to shareholders swung from a profit of $16,267 thousand in Q2 2025 to a loss of $1,195 thousand in Q2 2026, with diluted EPS declining from $1.07 to $(0.52).
  • The Canada Revenue Agency dispute over intercompany dividend deductions could result in a maximum tax liability of approximately $155 million (excluding interest) if Precision’s position is not upheld.

Filing Explained

The tax dispute is unresolved: a 2018 reassessment is issued, later years remain proposals, and payment exposure begins when reassessments are issued.

The July 28 Form 6-K furnishes Precision Drilling’s interim report; its tax dispute remains unresolved, with a 2018 reassessment issued and later-year proposals still not reassessments. If further reassessments are issued, Precision says it must pay 50% of the assessed tax and interest while the issue is unresolved, although it has recorded no liability.

As of July 28, 2026, the company reported 12,746,458 common shares, 113,087 DSUs and 149,589 equity-based awards; the DSUs and awards may be settled in common shares. That settlement is a potential increase in shares rather than a reported issuance; under the supplied dilution definition, issuing additional shares reduces existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsets.

The filing also records 136,290 common shares repurchased and cancelled through June 30, 2026, while a $21 million ASPP liability was accrued for purchases estimated during the blackout period; the accrued liability is separate from the completed repurchases. Additional notices for subsequent tax years are expected over the next 24 months, making those notices and any reassessments the stated resolution path for the tax exposure.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, (gain) loss on investments and other assets..."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Net investment hedge financial
"We have designated our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt as a net investment hedge..."
Normal Course Issuer Bid financial
"For the period ended June 30, 2026, Precision repurchased shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid..."
A Normal Course Issuer Bid is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market over time. This usually shows that the company believes its stock is undervalued and wants to support its price, which can be important for investors to watch.
Automated Share Purchase Plan financial
"Precision entered into an Automated Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) with an independent broker..."
Notice of Reassessment financial
"Precision received a Notice of Reassessment (NOR) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)..."
A notice of reassessment is a formal communication from a tax authority that changes a previously issued tax assessment, detailing adjusted income, deductions, or tax owed plus any interest or penalties. It matters to investors because it can create unexpected tax liabilities or refunds for a company or individual, like receiving a revised bill after a utility audit, and can affect cash flow, reported profits, and the certainty of past financial statements.

Precision Drilling Corporation ("Precision" or the "Company") (TSX:PD; NYSE:PDS) announces its 2026 second quarter results, highlighted by robust heavy oil drilling and well service activity in Canada and improving rig utilization in the U.S.

 

Financial Highlights

 

·Revenue increased 11% to $453 million, compared with $407 million in the second quarter of 2025, supported by stronger activity in Canada and the U.S., which more than offset lower international results and reduced Canadian upfront capital payments.
·Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $97 million, down 10% from $108 million in 2025, primarily due to higher U.S. rig reactivation costs and lower international margins related to geopolitical tensions and a change in rig mix. Results in 2026 also included $3 million of one-time restructuring charges, plus a $2 million share-based compensation recovery. In comparison, share-based compensation was a $4 million expense in 2025.
·Net loss attributable to shareholders in the second quarter was $1 million compared with net earnings of $16 million in 2025. Our net loss in 2026 was primarily due to increased depreciation expense of $11 million from a previously communicated change in useful life estimates.
·Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $146 million, allowing the Company to reduce debt by $50 million and repurchase $12 million of common shares.
·Capital expenditures were $76 million compared to $53 million in the second quarter of 2025. Year-to-date, we have invested $141 million in our equipment and continue to expect capital expenditures of $265 million in 2026.

 

Operational Highlights

 

·Canada averaged 61 active rigs, up 22% compared to 50 active rigs in the second quarter of 2025, outpacing Canadian industry activity, which increased 16%(2).
·Canadian revenue per utilization day decreased to $35,448 from $37,725 in 2025, primarily due to lower upfront capital payments of $3 million in 2026 compared to $7 million in same period last year and a higher Super Single rig mix, as robust heavy oil activity increased utilization of these rigs 31% year over year.
·U.S. averaged 35 active rigs in the second quarter of 2026 versus 33 in 2025, outperforming U.S. industry activity, which declined 3%(2).
·U.S. revenue per utilization day increased to US$32,802 from US$31,113 in the same period last year, driven by higher day rates on new contracts and increased technology revenue.
·Internationally, we had seven active rigs during the quarter, with three in Saudi Arabia and four in Kuwait, compared with two and five rigs, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025. The resulting change in rig mix lowered revenue per utilization day to US$50,524 from US$53,129 in the same period last year.
·Internationally, we secured an additional five-year drilling rig contract in Kuwait for an existing rig, increasing our active rig count to eight by mid-2027 following planned recertifications and upgrades.
·Canadian well servicing rig operating hours increased 25% compared to the same quarter in 2025, primarily due to stronger customer demand driven by higher oil prices, resulting in a 38% increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Summary for the three months ended June 30, 2026:

·Revenue in the second quarter was $453 million, up $46 million from 2025. Canadian revenue increased by $36 million, as higher oil prices supported increased demand for drilling and well servicing activity, partially offset by lower upfront capital payments of $3 million compared with $7 million in 2025. U.S. revenue increased by $15 million, driven by higher rig utilization and average day rates.
·Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% to $97 million from $108 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher U.S. rig reactivation costs and lower international margins resulting from geopolitical tensions and a change in rig mix. Adjusted EBITDA also included $3 million of international restructuring costs to better align our organizational structure, partially offset by a $2 million share-based compensation recovery. For additional information on share-based compensation, please refer to "Other Items" later in this report.
·Net loss attributable to shareholders was $1 million or $0.09 per share compared to net earnings of $16 million or $1.21 per share for the same period last year. The decrease was due to increased depreciation expense of $11 million from the change in useful life estimates. For additional information on depreciation, please refer to "Other Items" later in this report.
·Cash provided by operations was $146 million in the second quarter of 2026. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 99,416 shares for $12 million and reduced long-term debt by $50 million. Precision ended the quarter with $66 million of cash and more than $500 million in available liquidity.
·In Canada, our operating margin(1) was $13,855 compared to $15,306 in the same period last year, primarily due to lower upfront capital payments and a higher Super Single rig mix, as robust heavy oil activity increased utilization of these rigs 31% year over year.
·In the U.S., our operating margin was US$6,212, down from US$9,026 in 2025. Although revenue increased during the quarter, margins were impacted by higher rig reactivations. Reactivation costs averaged US$2,387 per utilization day as we reactivated seven rigs and positioned the business to support higher activity levels, compared with US$648 per utilization day in 2025 when four rigs were reactivated.
·Internationally, we had seven active rigs during the quarter, with three in Saudi Arabia and four in Kuwait compared with two and five rigs, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025. The resulting change in rig mix lowered revenue per utilization day to US$50,524 from US$53,129 in the same period last year. We realized revenue of US$32 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to US$36 million in 2025 primarily due to the change in rig mix combined with a 6% decline in drilling activity.
·Completion and Production Services revenue was $66 million, an increase of $12 million compared with 2025, primarily due to stronger customer demand driven by higher oil prices. Adjusted EBITDA was $14 million, representing 21%(2) of revenue, compared to 18% in the second quarter of 2025.
·Capital expenditures were $76 million compared to $53 million in the second quarter of 2025 and included $46 million for the maintenance of existing assets and infrastructure and $30 million for upgrades(2).
·Subsequent to quarter end, Precision received a Notice of Reassessment (NOR) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) relating to its 2018 tax year, denying certain deductions. The Company and its tax advisors believe the Company's tax filing position is appropriate and intends to vigorously contest the 2018 NOR and any additional reassessments. Please refer to "Other Items" later in this report for more information.
(1)Defined as revenue per utilization day less operating costs per utilization day.
(2)See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS."

 

Summary for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

·Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $979 million, an increase of $76 million from the same period in 2025. Canadian revenue increased by $49 million due to higher North America drilling and well servicing activity, while U.S. revenue increased by $40 million due to improved drilling activity. These increases were partially offset by lower international drilling results and upfront capital payments in Canada.

 

 3

 

·Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% to $221 million from $246 million in 2025, primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense as our share price appreciated 11% during the first six months of 2026, and increased operating costs in the U.S. and internationally. For additional information on share-based compensation, please refer to "Other Items" later in this report.
·Net earnings attributable to shareholders was $16 million or $1.25 per share, compared to $51 million or $3.75 per share, in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to increased depreciation expense of $22 million from the change in useful life estimates. For additional information on depreciation, please refer to "Other Items" later in this report.
·General and administrative expenses were $68 million compared to $55 million in the first six months of 2025, with the increase primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense and international restructuring costs.
·Cash provided by operations was $209 million and the Company repurchased 136,290 shares for $16 million and reduced long-term debt by $75 million. Precision ended the quarter with $66 million of cash and more than $500 million in available liquidity.
·Capital expenditures were $141 million compared to $113 million in the first six months of 2025 and included $81 million for the maintenance of existing assets and infrastructure and $61 million for upgrades.

 

STRATEGY

 

Precision’s vision is to be globally recognized as the High Performance, High Value provider of land drilling services. We work toward this vision by defining and measuring our results against strategic priorities that we establish at the beginning of every year.

 

Precision’s 2026 strategic priorities and the progress made during the second quarter are summarized below.

 

1.Drive revenue growth and deepen customer relationships through contracted upgrades, continuous operational excellence, and by leveraging our performance-driven technology as a key competitive differentiator.
·Grew rig utilization 20% in Canada and 6% in the U.S. year over year, outpacing industry activity in each region.
·Maintained strong pricing in Canada for our Super Triple and Super Single rigs compared to the previous quarter and the second quarter of 2025.
·Since the end of April 2026, we have improved our 2026 contract book, increasing the average number of drilling rigs under term contract for 2026 by 33% in Canada and 45% in the U.S.
·Secured an additional five-year drilling rig contract in Kuwait for an existing rig, which is expected to increase our international active rig count to eight by mid-2027 after completing required rig recertifications and upgrades.

 

2.Maximize free cash flow through strategic capital deployment and sustained cost discipline.
·Generated cash from operations of $146 million, allowing Precision to reduce debt and buy back shares.
·Restructured our international operations to better align our organizational structure within countries where we operate, strengthen execution, improve efficiency, and reduce general operating costs.
·Reiterated capital budget of $265 million, with $93 million allocated to strategic upgrades in Canada and the U.S.

 

3.Enhance shareholder returns by reducing debt by $100 million in 2026 and allocating up to 50% of free cash flow, before debt repayments, directly to shareholders.
·Reduced debt by $50 million in the quarter and $75 million year-to-date, as we continue to target a sustained Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio(1) of below 1.0 times.
·Returned $12 million to shareholders by repurchasing 99,416 shares during the quarter. Year to date, we have repurchased $16 million shares and remain committed to our annual guidance target.

 

 4

 

·Well positioned to meet our long-term debt reduction target of $700 million between 2022 and 2027. As of June 30, 2026, we have reduced our debt by $610 million since the beginning of 2022.

Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and relatively tight global crude oil inventories have reinforced the importance of secure and reliable energy supply, supporting constructive oil prices and customer investment confidence. While customers remain focused on capital discipline and returns, we continue to see sustained demand for high-performance drilling rigs and well service equipment. Assuming commodity prices remain supportive and market conditions do not materially change, we expect North American drilling and completion activity to improve modestly through the remainder of the year.

 

In Canada, demand for our Super Series rigs remains robust, supporting one of the most active drilling environments we have experienced in recent years. Improving heavy oil and condensate prices continue to enhance producer economics and support steady upstream investment in both oil and natural gas formations. Assuming a constructive commodity price environment, we expect our Super Triple and Super Single rigs to be nearly fully utilized through the fall drilling season.

 

In the U.S., increasing oil prices, disruptions in global crude supply, and concerns over low inventory levels have contributed to a more constructive outlook for oil-directed drilling activity. As a result, U.S. land drilling activity has strengthened in recent months and we increased our oil-weighted activity while maintaining a strong position in key natural gas basins, including the Haynesville and Marcellus. We currently have 43 active rigs and expect our active rig count to remain in the low 40s with continued rig churn during the third quarter. We remain focused on deepening customer relationships and strengthening margins, which we expect to increase throughout the remainder of the year.

 

Internationally, our crews continue to safely deliver services to our customers despite minor activity disruptions and incremental costs related to the Middle East conflict. We have seven active rigs, including four in Kuwait and three in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, all under five-year term contracts that extend into 2027 and 2028. Activity is expected to remain at seven rigs until mid-2027, when one of our idle Kuwait rigs is scheduled to return to work under a five-year contract following planned recertifications and upgrades. Crew-related operating costs are expected to remain elevated while regional tensions persist. We continue to seek opportunities for our one idle international rig.

 

As Canada's premier well service provider, we remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for our Completion and Production Services business. Expanded market access, robust heavy oil drilling and production activity, favorable oil prices and our High Performance, High Value service offering continue to support customer investment and demand for our services. We believe these factors position us well to benefit from strong activity levels and pricing, assuming no significant change in market conditions.

 

Overall, our outlook for the remainder of the year is optimistic, with potential upside supported by sustained strength in oil prices and continued customer investment. In Canada, we expect third quarter operating margins to average between $12,000 and $13,000 per utilization day, with a higher proportion of Super Singles working this fall compared with the prior year. In the U.S., revenue per utilization day is expected to remain stable, while operating margins are anticipated to range between US$7,000 and US$8,000 per utilization day with cost pressures persisting due to additional rig reactivation expenses. While U.S. margin performance in the second and third quarters remains below our long-term expectations, fourth quarter margins expected to approach US$10,000 per utilization day.

 

Contracts

 

The following chart outlines the average number of drilling rigs under term contract by quarter as of July 28, 2026. For the quarter ending after June 30, 2026, 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.

In Canada, because of the seasonal nature of well site access, term contracted rigs normally generate 250-300 utilization days per rig year. 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.

 

Capital Spending and Free Cash Flow Allocation

 

Capital spending in 2026 is expected to remain at $265 million, consistent with our previously announced plan. Capital spending by spend category(1) is expected to include $172 million for maintenance, infrastructure, and intangibles and $93 million for expansion and upgrades, reflecting a $4 million reallocation between spend categories compared to our previously announced plan. We expect to spend $238 million in the Contract Drilling Services segment, $21 million in the Completion and Production Services segment and $6 million in the Corporate and Other segment. At June 30, 2026, Precision had capital commitments of $177 million, with payments expected through 2028.

 

We remain committed to our 2026 debt reduction plan, reducing debt by $100 million and positioning us near our long-term target and sustained Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio(1) of below 1.0 times. In 2026, we intend to allocate up to 50% of free cash flow before debt repayments to share repurchases.

Revenue from Contract Drilling Services was $390 million compared to $355 million in the second quarter of 2025, due to increased drilling rig activity in Canada and the U.S., offset in part by lower international drilling activity and lower upfront capital payments in Canada of $3 million compared with $7 million in 2025. Precision's Canada and U.S. drilling rig utilization days increased by 20% and 6%, respectively. Our international revenue decreased by 11%, primarily due to our rig mix change.

 

Operating expenses increased 21% in 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily related to our US and international operations. In the U.S., rig reactivation costs averaged US$2,387 per utilization day as we reactivated seven rigs and positioned the business to support higher activity levels, compared with US$648 per utilization day in 2025 when four rigs were reactivated. Internationally, operating expenses increased due to a change in rig mix and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 34% in 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to $3 million of restructuring costs related to our international operations to better align our organizational structure within countries where we operate.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $95 million for the quarter and represented 24% of revenue compared to 31% in 2025.

 

In Canada, 32% of our utilization days were generated from rigs under term contract in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 36% in 2025. In the U.S., 32% of utilization days were generated from rigs under term contract in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 46% in 2025.

Completion and Production Services revenue was $66 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $54 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher well servicing activity, resulting from stronger customer demand driven by higher oil prices.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $14 million, representing 21% of revenue, compared to 18% in the second quarter of 2025.

 

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 $11 million for the second quarter versus a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million in the same period last year primarily due to a share-based compensation recovery recognized in the period of $2 million compared with a share based compensation expense of $4 million in the prior year.

 

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 2025 Annual Report.

    (1,552)   4,213    17,321    7,043 

 

Our cash-settled share-based compensation was a recovery of $4 million for the quarter, compared with an expense of $3 million in 2025. The recovery in the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to our share price declining 20% during the quarter.

 

During the first quarters of 2025 and 2026, we issued Executive Restricted Share Units (Executive RSUs) to certain senior executives that were aligned with our annual compensation framework. These issuances resulted in an equity-settled share-based compensation expense of $2 million in the second quarter of both 2026 and 2025. As of June 30, 2026, 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.

 

Contingencies

 

In the 2018 to 2023 tax years, Precision deducted certain intercompany dividends received in connection with a preferred share financing. In late July 2026, Precision received a NOR from the CRA relating to its 2018 tax year, denying the deduction of such intercompany dividends. In addition to the 2018 NOR, Precision received a proposal from the CRA for the 2019 to 2022 tax years on the same basis, but no reassessments have been received at this time.

 

Precision will file a Notice of Objection to the 2018 NOR and intends to vigorously contest the 2018 NOR as well as any additional reassessments that may be issued by the CRA in respect of the intercompany dividends received. The Company and its tax advisors believe that the Company’s tax filing position is appropriate. As such, Precision has not recognized a liability in its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements with respect to the reassessment.

 

Due to existing tax pools, the CRA’s reassessment of the 2018 tax year and anticipated reassessments of the 2019 to 2023 tax years are not expected to impact taxes payable until the 2024 to 2027 tax years. Additional notices of reassessment for the subsequent tax years are expected to be issued over the next 24 months. If it is ultimately determined that the Company is not entitled to deduct the intercompany dividends, we estimate a maximum tax liability of approximately $155 million, excluding interest.

 

Once reassessments are issued, Precision will be required to pay 50% of the assessed tax liability and interest, until the issue has been resolved.  If Precision is ultimately successful in defending its position, then any taxes and interest paid to the CRA will be refunded plus interest, and if the CRA is successful then any remaining taxes and interest payable will have to be remitted by Precision.

 

Depreciation

 

In 2025, we completed a detailed review of our drilling rig equipment and revised the estimated useful life of drill pipe as more complex drilling programs have reduced the useful life of this asset class. This revision resulted in additional depreciation expense of $11 million in the second quarter of 2026.

 

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 upgrade or expansion capital projects provide more certainty of future revenues and return on our capital investments.

In the second quarter of 2026, we reduced long-term debt by $50 million, through repayments of borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, we had a total of $633 million outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes as compared with $687 million at December 31, 2025. The current blended cash interest cost of our debt is approximately 6.7%.

 

Senior Credit Facility

 

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.

 

Covenants

 

As at June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants of our Senior Credit Facility.

 

  Covenant   At June 30, 2026  
Senior Credit Facility        
Consolidated senior debt to consolidated covenant EBITDA(1) < 2.50     0.14

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.

 

 10

 

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.

 

Outstanding share data

 

As of July 28, 2026, we had 12,746,458 common shares, 113,087 deferred share units (DSUs), and 149,589 equity-based awards outstanding.

 

The outstanding DSUs were granted under the old DSU Plan, the 2012 DSU Plan and the 2024 DSU Plan and assume settlement of each DSU for one common share.

 

The outstanding equity-based awards consist of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Performance Share Units (PSUs) which may be settled through the issuance of common shares from treasury. As of July 28, 2026, all 149,589 equity-based awards outstanding were Executive RSUs and assume settlement of each Executive RSU for one common share.

 

Our DSU, PSU and RSU Plans are governed by our Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Omnibus Plan). More information about the Omnibus Plan can be found in our Management Information Circular, available on our website and on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

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 2025 Annual Report.

 

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

 

Effective January 1, 2026, Precision has prospectively adopted Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, as issued May 2024. The amendments relate to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The amendments require opening balances of financial assets, financial liabilities, and retained earnings be adjusted to recognize the effect of the initial application if retrospective application is not selected. The initial application did not result in a material impact to the financial statements.

EVALUATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Based on their evaluation as at December 31, 2025, 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)), were 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 of June 30, 2026, 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, 2026 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, (gain) loss on investments and other assets, finance charges, foreign exchange, gain on asset disposals and depreciation and amortization), as reported in our Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Net Earnings (Loss) 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.

 

  

For the three months ended

June 30,

  

For the six months ended

June 30,

 
(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars)  2026   2025   2026   2025 
Adjusted EBITDA by segment:                    
Contract Drilling Services   94,682    111,422    227,677    247,438 
Completion and Production Services   13,643    9,876    31,255    27,422 
Corporate and Other   (11,270)   (13,198)   (37,930)   (29,263)
Adjusted EBITDA   97,055    108,100    221,002    245,597

Non-controlling interest   302    220    771    656 
Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders   (1,195)   16,267    16,181    50,778 

 

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)  2026   2025   2026   2025 
Capital spending by spend category                    
Expansion and upgrade   30,267    26,757    60,541    46,303 
Maintenance and infrastructure   46,097    26,016    80,823    66,435 
Capital expenditures   76,364    52,773    141,364    112,738 
Proceeds on sale of property, plant and equipment   (12,013)   (11,829)   (14,300)   (15,594)

Purchase of investments and other assets           698    11 
Receipt of finance lease payments   (252)   (209)   (503)   (417)
Changes in non-cash working capital balances   (8,938)   (4,686)   2,604    (3,487)
Cash used in investing activities   54,761    36,049    129,463    93,251

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)  2026   2025 
Current assets   469,469    486,915 
Current liabilities   (322,557)   (300,100)
Working capital   146,912    186,815 

 

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)  2026   2025 
Total non-current liabilities   798,555    837,707 
Deferred tax liabilities   (105,567)   (90,763)
Total long-term financial liabilities   692,988    746,944 

 

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 (Loss), 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 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 plus current portion of 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 or maintenance and infrastructure.

·changes in drilling and well servicing technology, which could reduce demand for certain rigs or put us at a competitive disadvantage;
·shortages, delays and interruptions in the delivery of equipment supplies and other key inputs;
·liquidity of the capital markets to fund customer drilling programs;
·availability of cash flow, debt and equity sources to fund our capital and operating requirements, as needed;
·the physical, regulatory and transition impacts of climate change;
·the impact of weather and seasonal conditions on operations and facilities;
·the impact of tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions, export controls and other trade restrictions;
·competitive operating risks inherent in contract drilling, well servicing and ancillary oilfield services;
·geopolitical instability or armed conflicts, including in regions where we operate may impact operations, personnel, logistics, customer activity and commodity markets;
·ability to improve our rig technology to improve drilling efficiency;
·general economic, market or business conditions;
·the availability of qualified personnel and management;
·a decline in our safety performance which could result in lower demand for our services;
·the impact of inflation and supply chain disruptions;
·business interruptions related to cybersecurity risks;
·changes in laws or regulations, including changes in environmental laws and regulations such as increased regulation of hydraulic fracturing or restrictions on the burning of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, which could have an adverse impact on the demand for oil and natural gas;
·terrorism, acts of war, social, civil and political unrest in the foreign jurisdictions or regions where we operate;
·fluctuations in foreign exchange, interest rates and tax rates; and
·other unforeseen conditions which could impact the use of services supplied by Precision and Precision’s ability to respond to such conditions.

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 based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

These 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, 2025.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and application methods consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as described in Note 2(c).

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2026.

 

(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, 2025.

 

The impacts of geopolitical events, such as the imposed tariffs between Canada and the U.S., regional conflicts, especially in oil producing areas, can materially impact energy markets, interest and inflation rates, and supply chains, resulting in higher levels of volatility and uncertainty. Ongoing U.S. military operations involving Iran and the resulting conflict in the Middle East have impacted global oil supply and increased volatility in global oil prices. Management has, to the extent reasonable, incorporated known facts and circumstances into the estimates made, however, actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

 

(c) Change in Accounting Policy

 

Effective January 1, 2026, the Corporation has prospectively adopted Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, as issued May 2024. The amendments relate to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The amendments require opening balances of financial assets, financial liabilities, and retained earnings be adjusted to recognize the effect of the initial application if retrospective application is not selected. The initial application did not result in a material impact to the financial statements. The Corporation has applied the election related to electronic payment systems.

(b)Seasonality

 

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 61% (2025 – 60%) of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 44% (2025 – 42%) of consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2026. 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

Contract Drilling Services includes drilling rigs, procurement and distribution of oilfield supplies, and manufacture, sale and repair of drilling equipment.

(a)       Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

For the period ended June 30, 2026, Precision repurchased and cancelled a total of 136,290 (2025 – 646,058) common shares for cash of $16 million (2025 – $45 million) and recorded nil (2025 - $0.7 million) Canadian share buy back tax.

 

(b)       Automated Share Purchase Plan

 

Prior to June 30, 2026, Precision entered into an Automated Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) with an independent broker to permit the repurchase of common shares during its 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. The Corporation accrues a liability for purchases estimated to occur during the blackout period based on the parameters of the NCIB and the ASPP. As at June 30, 2026, Precision accrued a liability of $21 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities with a corresponding decrease to share capital.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, 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, measured at amortized cost, approximate fair value as this indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest and the interest rate swap is classified as a derivative fair valued through profit or loss. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at June 30, 2026 was approximately $572 million (December 31, 2025 – $555 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 and interest rate swap 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 12. CONTINGENCIES

 

The business and operations of the Corporation are complex and the Corporation has executed a number of significant financings, business combinations, acquisitions and dispositions over the course of its history. The computation of income taxes payable as a result of these transactions involves many complex factors as well as the Corporation's interpretation of relevant tax legislation and regulations. The Corporation's management believes that the provision for income tax is adequate and in accordance with IFRS and applicable legislation and regulations. However, there are tax filing positions that have been and can still be the subject of review by taxation authorities who may successfully challenge the Corporation's interpretation of the applicable tax legislation and regulations, with the result that additional taxes could be payable by the Corporation.

 

In the 2018 to 2023 tax years, Precision deducted certain intercompany dividends received in connection with a preferred share financing. In late July 2026, Precision received a Notice of Reassessment (NOR) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) relating to its 2018 tax year, denying the deduction of such intercompany dividends. In addition to the 2018 NOR, Precision received a proposal from the CRA for the 2019 to 2022 tax years on the same basis, but no reassessments have been received at this time.

 

Precision will file a Notice of Objection to the 2018 NOR and intends to vigorously contest the 2018 NOR as well as any additional reassessments that may be issued by the CRA in respect of the intercompany dividends received. The Company and its tax advisors believe that the Company's tax filing position is appropriate. As such, Precision has not recognized a liability in its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements with respect to the reassessment.

 

Due to existing tax pools, the CRA's reassessment of the 2018 tax year and anticipated reassessments of the 2019 to 2023 tax years are not expected to impact taxes payable until the 2024 to 2027 tax years. Additional notices of reassessment for subsequent tax years are expected to be issued over the next 24 months. If it is ultimately determined that the Company is not entitled to deduct the intercompany dividends we estimate a maximum tax liability of approximately $155 million, excluding interest.

 

Once reassessments are issued, Precision will be required to pay 50% of the assessed tax liability and interest, until the issue has been resolved. If Precision is ultimately successful in defending its position, then any taxes and interest paid to the CRA will be refunded plus interest, and if the CRA is successful then any remaining taxes and interest payable will have to be remitted by Precision.
