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. (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." (2) See "SEGMENT REVIEW OF CONTRACT DRILLING SERVICES." MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY Precision’s President and CEO, Carey Ford, provided the following commentary: "Precision delivered another quarter of solid operational execution. We continued to advance our 2026 strategic priorities, driving revenue growth through competitive differentiation and deeper customer relationships, free cash flow generation, and returning capital to shareholders. Revenue increased 11% year over year, reflecting increased North American activity levels, higher Alpha™ and EverGreen™ contributions, and improved pricing.

Higher than expected rig reactivations in the quarter, scheduled upgraded rig deliveries in the second half of the year, and continued growth in our contract book position Precision to deliver stronger financial performance through the balance of 2026 and into 2027. "During the first half of the year, Precision generated consistent operating cash flow, allowing us to reduce debt by $75 million and repurchase $16 million of our shares. At the same time, we continued to invest in high-return fleet upgrades and technology initiatives that support our recent activity gains, strengthen our competitive position, and ensure long-term value creation for our shareholders.

"In Canada, activity increased 22% year over year, supported by robust customer demand for our Super Triple and Super Single rigs. Improving producer economics and expanded market access continue to support an attractive Canadian drilling environment, most notably in the condensate and heavy oil basins. We expect activity during the second half of the year to remain above prior year levels.

"In the U.S., our business is reaching an inflection point with our active rig count steadily increasing through the quarter and standing at 43 rigs today. Higher day rates, increased technology adoption, and improving oil-directed activity supported year over year revenue growth. We are encouraged by improving customer sentiment and continue to see opportunities to deepen relationships with new and existing customers.

While second quarter margins were below our long-term expectations, the actions we are taking position us for meaningful margin expansion, with fourth quarter margins expected to approach US$10,000 per utilization day. "Technology remains a key competitive differentiator for Precision. Our Alpha™ digital platform and automation systems are improving drilling performance, minimizing downtime, and delivering measurable value for our customers.

Combined with our high-performance fleet and experienced crews, these capabilities continue to strengthen customer relationships and support sustainable revenue and profitability growth. "Internationally, our teams continue to execute safely and reliably despite geopolitical uncertainty in the region. During the quarter, we secured an additional five-year contract for an existing Kuwait rig, reinforcing resiliency of our customer relationships and our operational reputation in the region.

With this new contract, we expect our international rig count to increase from seven to eight during mid-2027. "Our Completion and Production Services business delivered outstanding results during the quarter. Operating hours increased 25% year over year as favorable oil prices and robust producer activity drove increased demand for our well servicing fleet.

As Canada's premier well service provider, our scale, market position, and customer relationships position us to capture value from increased customer demand through the remainder of the year. "Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the remainder of 2026. Constructive commodity prices, elevated customer demand for high-performance drilling rigs and well service equipment, improving contract coverage, and continued momentum across our businesses support a positive outlook.

While geopolitical developments and commodity price volatility remain important considerations, we believe Precision is well positioned to generate long-term value through operational excellence, technology leadership, disciplined capital allocation, and a continued focus on shareholder returns,” concluded Mr. Ford. SELECT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING INFORMATION Financial Highlights (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." Operating Highlights (1) The service rig fleet and service rig operating hours exclude our U.S. operations that we wound down in the second quarter of 2025. Drilling Activity (1) Average number of drilling rigs working or moving.

Financial Position (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." 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 news release.

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 news release.

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 news release 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.

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 news release. 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 news release. 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.

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 Singl e 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. 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. 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. 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. (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." 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 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 are 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. SEGMENTED FINANCIAL RESULTS Precision’s operations are reported in two segments: Contract Drilling Services, which includes our drilling rigs, procurement and distribution of oilfield supplies, and the manufacture, sale and repair of drilling equipment; and Completion and Production Services, which includes our service rigs, oilfield equipment rental, and camp services. SEGMENT REVIEW OF CONTRACT DRILLING SERVICES (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." (1) Canadian operations only. (2) Source: Baker Hughes rig counts. (1) United States lower 48 operations only. (2) Source: Baker Hughes rig counts.

SEGMENT REVIEW OF COMPLETION AND PRODUCTION SERVICES (1) See "FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS." (2) The service rig fleet and service rig operating hours exclude our U.S. operations that we wound down in the second quarter of 2025. 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 (recovery) 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 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.
