Precision Drilling Corporation (“Precision” or the “Company”) (TSX:PD; NYSE:PDS) announces its 2026 third quarter results, highlighted by revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and net earnings growth driven by higher activity in Canada and the U.S., with U.S. margins expected to inflect higher in the fourth quarter.

Financial Highlights

• Revenue increased 15% to $532 million, compared with $462 million in the third quarter of 2025, supported by stronger drilling activity in North America and higher average U.S. day rates, which more than offset lower international results.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased 6% to $125 million from $118 million in 2025, primarily due to stronger activity in North America, partially offset by higher U.S. rig reactivation costs and lower international margins. Share-based compensation expense was $8 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $11 million in 2025.
• Net earnings attributable to shareholders in the third quarter was $21 million compared with a net loss of $7 million in 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher deferred income tax expense in 2025 related to our U.S. operations, partially offset by $8 million of additional depreciation expense in 2026 resulting from our previously communicated change in useful life estimates.
• Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $71 million compared to $76 million, allowing for the repurchase of $31 million of common shares.
• Capital expenditures were $82 million compared to $69 million in the third quarter of 2025. Precision has revised its 2026 capital budget from $265 million to a range of $275 million to $285 million to accommodate long-lead deliveries and a pending upgrade opportunity, which would have multiple rigs contracted through 2029 for a large Canadian producer. Capital spending by spend category⁽¹⁾ is expected to include approximately $172 million for maintenance, infrastructure, and intangibles and $103 million to $113 million for expansion and upgrades.

Operational Highlights

• Canada averaged 73 active rigs, up 16% compared to 63 active rigs in the third quarter of 2025, in line with higher industry activity⁽²⁾.
• Canadian revenue per utilization day was $33,654 compared to $34,193 in 2025. The modest reduction reflects rig mix rather than pricing, as robust heavy oil activity increased utilization of Super Single rigs by 18% year over year.
• U.S. averaged 43 active rigs, up 19% compared to 36 active rigs in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting our improved customer base and competitive position. This growth outpaced the U.S. industry’s 10% increase in activity.
• U.S. revenue per utilization day increased to US$33,270 from US$31,040 in the same period last year, driven by higher average day rates and increased technology revenue.
• Internationally, we had seven active rigs during the quarter, with three in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and four in Kuwait, compared with two and five rigs, respectively, in 2025. This change in rig mix and planned rig recertifications, resulting in non-billable days, decreased revenue per utilization day to US$46,304 from US$53,811.
• Canadian well servicing rig operating hours increased 6% compared to the same quarter in 2025. Higher oil prices drove incremental demand as customers looked to maximize cash flows, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 10%.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Precision’s President and CEO, Carey Ford, provided the following commentary:

“Precision delivered another quarter of solid operational and financial execution, highlighted by year-over-year growth in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and net earnings, robust activity in Canada, and continued improvement in U.S. rig activity and day rates. We are delivering on what we set out to accomplish in 2026: growing revenue and deepening customer relationships, generating free cash flow, and returning capital to shareholders.

“During the third quarter, our drilling rig utilization increased 16% in Canada and 19% in the U.S. compared with the prior year, outpacing industry activity in both markets. In Canada, our unique positioning in heavy oil basins drove our outperformance, while in the U.S., we further strengthened our customer base, increased day rates, and reactivated six rigs to meet growing customer demand. We continue to invest selectively in our fleet and expect to complete upgrades to 25 rigs across Canada and the U.S. this year, enhancing our competitive position in core markets and supporting future growth.

“Our cash flow generation continues to support a balanced approach to capital allocation. During the quarter, we generated $71 million of cash from operations, invested $24 million into fleet upgrades, and returned $31 million to shareholders through share repurchases. Year to date, we have repurchased $47 million of shares while reducing debt by $75 million. With our long-term leverage target within reach, we expect to enter 2027 with greater flexibility to direct free cash flow toward direct shareholder returns. 

“Looking ahead to 2027, we believe we are very well positioned to sustain momentum established this year, with our growing North American contract book further strengthening our outlook. In Canada, robust customer demand is positioning us for one of our busiest winter drilling seasons in years, with our Super Triple and Super Single rigs expected to be near full utilization. In Completion and Production Services, favorable producer economics, our differentiated service model and expanding drilling and service rentals businesses are expected to support continued growth and improved profitability.

“In the U.S., our strategy is delivering results. With the majority of our planned rig reactivations behind us, we expect U.S. operating margins to increase approximately 30% during the fourth quarter of 2026, establishing a stronger foundation for 2027. Our focus remains on aligning with customers who value Precision’s high-performance assets, technology, safety and operational execution. This growth is strategic, strengthening our business and creating sustainable value for shareholders.  

“Internationally, our seven active rigs are supported by long-term contracts, providing a stable base of activity and cash flow. We expect our idle rig in Kuwait to return to work in mid-2027 under a five-year contract, following planned recertifications and upgrades. While geopolitical uncertainty and elevated regional costs remain important considerations, our teams continue to execute safely and reliably for customers.

“As we move through the final quarter of 2026, we are encouraged by the momentum across our business and the progress we have made toward our strategic priorities. While commodity price volatility and geopolitical uncertainty remain, we are entering 2027 with a stronger U.S. business, high utilization across our core Canadian fleet, stable international operations and continued growth in Completion and Production Services, providing a unique platform for generating free cash flow and delivering long-term value for shareholders.

“Finally, I want to thank our employees for their dedication and our shareholders for their continued support. I would also like to recognize Veronica Foley, our Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, for her years of dedicated service and many contributions to Precision. On behalf of everyone at Precision, I thank Veronica and wish her every success in the next chapter of her career,” concluded Mr. Ford.

Summary for the three months ended September 30, 2026:

• Revenue in the third quarter was $532 million, up $69 million from 2025. Canadian revenue increased by $33 million, as higher oil prices supported increased demand for drilling and well servicing activity. U.S. revenue increased by $42 million, driven by increased rig utilization, higher average day rates and increased technology revenue. These increases were partially offset by lower international results of $6 million due to rig mix and planned rig recertifications resulting in non-billable days.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $125 million from $118 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to stronger activity in North America and share-based compensation expense of $8 million compared to $11 million in 2025. These increases were partially offset by higher U.S. rig reactivation costs, as we reactivated six rigs during the quarter compared to four in 2025 and lower international margins resulting from a change in rig mix and higher international operating expenses due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. For additional information on share-based compensation, please refer to “Other Items” later in this news release.
• Net earnings attributable to shareholders was $21 million or $1.65 per share compared to a net loss of $7 million or $0.51 per share for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to lower income tax expense, as 2025 included a $33 million deferred income tax expense related to the waiving of certain U.S. tax deductions. Net earnings in 2026 included $8 million of additional depreciation expense from the change in useful life estimates effective January 1, 2026. For additional information on depreciation, please refer to “Other Items” later in this news release.
• Cash provided by operations was $71 million in the third quarter of 2026. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 269,331 shares for $31 million. Precision ended the quarter with $23 million of cash and more than $460 million in available liquidity.
• In Canada, our operating margin⁽¹⁾ was $12,817 compared to $13,007 in the same period last year, primarily due to a higher Super Single rig mix, as robust heavy oil activity increased utilization of these rigs 18% year over year.
• In the U.S., our operating margin was US$7,653, down from US$8,700 in 2025. Although revenue increased by 29% during the quarter, margins were impacted by higher rig reactivations. Reactivation costs averaged US$2,125 per utilization day as we reactivated six rigs and positioned the business to support higher activity levels, compared with US$502 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 third quarter of 2025. Revenue per utilization day decreased to US$46,304 from US$53,811 in the same period last year primarily due to the change in rig mix and planned rig recertifications that resulted in non-billable utilization days. As a result, revenue decreased to US$30 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to US$35 million in 2025.
• Completion and Production Services revenue was $81 million, an increase of $6 million compared with 2025, primarily due to stronger customer demand for well services and surface rental equipment driven by higher oil prices. Adjusted EBITDA was $21 million, representing 26%⁽²⁾ of revenue, consistent with the third quarter of 2025.
• Capital expenditures were $82 million compared to $69 million in the third quarter of 2025 and included $58 million for maintenance of existing assets and infrastructure, driven by higher activity, and $24 million for upgrades⁽²⁾ due to increased customer demand.

Summary for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:

• Revenue for the first nine months of 2026 was $1,511 million, an increase of $145 million from the same period in 2025. Canadian revenue increased by $83 million due to higher drilling, well servicing and drilling related rentals activity, while U.S. revenue increased by $82 million due to improved drilling activity and higher average day rates. These increases were partially offset by lower international drilling revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5% to $346 million from $363 million in 2025, primarily due to lower upfront capital payments in Canada, increased operating costs in the U.S. and internationally and higher share-based compensation expense as our share price appreciated 16% during the first nine months of 2026. For additional information on share-based compensation, please refer to “Other Items” later in this news release.
• Net earnings attributable to shareholders was $37 million or $2.89 per share, compared to $44 million or $3.28 per share, in the same period last year. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to the impact of lower EBITDA results and increased depreciation expense of $30 million from the change in useful life estimates, partially offset by higher deferred income tax expense related to our U.S. operations in 2025. For additional information on depreciation, please refer to “Other Items” later in this news release.
• General and administrative expenses were $99 million compared to $85 million in the first nine months of 2025, with the increase primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense and international restructuring costs.
• Cash provided by operations was $280 million and the Company repurchased 405,621 shares for $47 million and reduced long-term debt by $75 million.
• Capital expenditures were $224 million compared to $182 million in the first nine months of 2025 and included $139 million for the maintenance of existing assets and infrastructure, driven by higher activity, and $85 million for customer driven 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 third 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 16% in Canada and 19% in the U.S. year over year, outpacing industry activity in each region.
   • Increased rig day rate pricing in the U.S. compared to the previous quarter and the third quarter of 2025.
   • Strengthened our U.S. customer base, increasing the number of drilling rigs working for major producers.
2. Maximize free cash flow through strategic capital deployment and sustained cost discipline.
   • Generated cash from operations of $71 million, allowing Precision to buy back shares and reinvest in high-return fleet upgrades to meet customer demand.
   • Reactivated six rigs in the U.S., to meet customer demand and position Precision for future growth opportunities.
   • Annual capital budget of between $275 million to $285 million includes strategic customer upgrades to 25 drilling rigs across Canada and the U.S., backed by long-term contracts.
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.
   • Returned $31 million to shareholders by repurchasing 269,331 shares during the quarter. Year to date, we have repurchased $47 million of shares and remain committed to our annual guidance target.
   • As of September 30, 2026, we have reduced debt by $75 million during the year and continue to target a sustained Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio⁽¹⁾ of below 1.0 times.
   • Well positioned to meet our long-term debt reduction target of $700 million between 2022 and 2027, having reduced our debt by $610 million since the beginning of 2022.

OUTLOOK

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 financial 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 remain resilient and broadly consistent with current levels through the remainder of the year with growth potential emerging early in 2027.

In Canada, favorable heavy oil and condensate prices continue to support producer economics and steady upstream investment across oil and natural gas formations. Demand for our Super Series rigs remains robust, and we expect near full utilization of this rig class during the winter drilling season.

In the U.S., oil-directed drilling activity has continued to strengthen, with the oil rig count increasing since May and industry expectations pointing to further growth over the next 12 months. We have increased our oil-weighted activity while maintaining a strong position in key natural gas basins, including the Haynesville and Marcellus. We see opportunities for incremental activity as market conditions improve, while remaining focused on deepening customer relationships and strengthening margins.

Internationally, our crews continue to safely deliver services to our customers despite minor activity disruptions and incremental costs related to the Middle East tensions. We have seven active rigs, including four in Kuwait and three in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, all under five-year term contracts extending into 2027 and 2028. We expect our idle rig in Kuwait to return to work in mid-2027 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 pursue 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. We expect demand to remain strong through early 2027, supported by favorable commodity prices and egress capacity, as producers continue to focus on cash flow generation. Our High Performance, High Value service offering continues to support customer demand. Our growing drilling and service rentals businesses are delivering incremental year-over-year revenue and profitable growth, while strengthening our differentiated, full-service offering to customers. We see opportunities for continued growth in this part of the business.

Overall, our outlook for the remainder of the year and into 2027 remains constructive. For the fourth quarter, our operating margins in Canada are expected to remain consistent to our reported margins in the fourth quarter of 2025, averaging between $13,500 and $14,500 per utilization day. In the U.S., we expect a step change in operating margins as the pace of our rig reactivations slows, with operating margins averaging between US$9,500 and US$10,500 per utilization day.

We remain committed to shareholder returns and expect to achieve our $100 million debt repayment target for the year while continuing to actively repurchase shares in the fourth quarter, building on the $47 million of buybacks completed to date.

Contracts

The following chart outlines the average number of drilling rigs under term contract by quarter as of October 27, 2026. For the quarter ending after September 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.

SEGMENTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

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.

A summary of expense amounts under these plans during the reporting periods are as follows:

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 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 reaffirm 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 reviewed our drilling rig equipment and revised the estimated useful life of drill pipe, effective January 1, 2026, as more complex drilling programs have reduced the useful life of this asset class. This revision resulted in additional depreciation expense of $8 million in the third quarter of 2026 and $30 million year to date.
