| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Nature of Operations
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “Parker,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Parker Drilling Company, incorporated in Delaware, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and “Parker Drilling” refers solely to the parent, Parker Drilling Company. Parker Drilling Company is an international provider of contract drilling and drilling-related services as well as rental tools and services. We have operated in over 60 countries since beginning operations in 1934, making us among the most geographically experienced drilling contractors and rental tools providers in the world.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, these consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for their fair presentation for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Consolidation
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which we exercise control or have a controlling financial interest, including entities, if any, in which the Company is allocated a majority of the entity’s losses or returns, regardless of ownership percentage. If a subsidiary of Parker Drilling has a 50.0 percent or greater interest in an entity but Parker Drilling’s interest in the subsidiary or the entity does not meet the consolidation criteria described above, then that interest is accounted for under the equity method.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not materially affect our consolidated financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements, and our revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Estimates are typically used when accounting for certain significant items such as legal or contractual liability accruals, self-insured medical/dental plans, impairment, income taxes and valuation allowance, operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities and other items requiring the use of estimates. Estimates are based on a number of variables, which may include third party valuations, historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ from management estimates.
Cash, Cash equivalents and Restricted Cash
For purposes of the consolidated condensed balance sheets and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid debt instruments that have a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
The restricted cash balance as of March 31, 2019 includes $20.6 million for professional fees escrow account and $0.8 million for professional fees. The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2018 includes $9.8 million into a cash collateral
account to support the letters of credit outstanding and $0.6 million held as compensating balances in the ordinary course of business for purchases and utilities.
Impairment
We evaluate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets for potential impairment when events occur or circumstances change that indicate the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability by determining the undiscounted estimated future net cash flows for the respective asset groups identified. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, we measure the impairment as the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash flows from the assets, appraisals and current market value analysis in determining fair value. Assets are written down to fair value if the final estimate of current fair value is below the net carrying value. The assumptions used in the impairment evaluation are inherently uncertain and require management judgment.
Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets are related to customer relationships, developed technology and trade name, which are classified as definite lived intangibles, that are generally amortized over a weighted average period of approximately three to six years. We assess the recoverability of the unamortized balance of our intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present based on expected future profitability and undiscounted expected cash flows and their contribution to our overall operations. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the intangible assets would be recognized as an impairment loss. See Note 4 - Intangible Assets for further discussion.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method and have been provided for based upon tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted and income or losses are generated. There is little or no expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes as the countries in which we operate have taxation regimes that vary not only with respect to nominal rate, but also in terms of the availability of deductions, credits, and other benefits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and the effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is enacted. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to determine the amount of deferred tax assets or liabilities, as well as the valuation allowances, we must make estimates and assumptions regarding future taxable income, where rigs will be deployed, and other matters. Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in tax laws and other changes affecting our ability to recognize the underlying deferred tax assets, could require us to adjust the valuation allowances.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50.0 percent likely of being realized and changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. See Note 8 - Income Taxes for further details.
Leases
As lessee, our leases are primarily operating leases. See Note 5 - Operating Leases for further details.
As lessor, our leases are primarily operating leases which are included in revenue in our consolidated condensed income statement. See Note 11 - Revenue for further details.
Legal and Investigative Matters
We accrue estimates of the probable and estimable costs for the resolution of certain legal and investigative matters. We do not accrue any amounts for other matters for which the liability is not probable and reasonably estimable. Generally, the estimate of probable costs related to these matters is developed in consultation with our legal advisors. The estimates take into consideration factors such as the complexity of the issues, litigation risks and settlement costs. If the actual settlement costs, final judgments, or fines, after appeals, differ from our estimates, our future financial results may be adversely affected.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 11 - Revenue for further discussion of our revenue recognition policy.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables with a variety of national and international oil and natural gas companies. We generally do not require collateral on our trade receivables. We depend on a limited number of significant customers. Our largest customer, Exxon Neftegas Limited (“ENL”), constituted approximately 31.2 percent of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Excluding revenues from reimbursable costs (“reimbursable revenues”) of $26.3 million, ENL constituted approximately 17.7 percent of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had deposits in domestic banks in excess of federally insured limits of approximately $118.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively. In addition, we had uninsured deposits in foreign banks as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, of $35.3 million and $32.9 million, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of dilutive securities, stock options, unvested restricted stock, assumed conversion of convertible stock and convertible debt are included in the diluted EPS calculation, when applicable. See Note 10 - Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (“EPS”) for further details.
Bankruptcy
On December 12, 2018 (the “Petition Date”), Parker Drilling and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed a prearranged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and commenced voluntary petitions under chapter 11 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on March 7, 2019, and the Debtors emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings on March 26, 2019. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 - Reorganizations (“Topic 852”). See Note 2 - Chapter 11 Emergence and Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting for further details.
