The Company achieved the following 2023 Q1 results and highlights:
- Revenue of
$127,665 in 2023 Q1, an increase of 271%, compared to$34,385 in 2022 Q1. - Adjusted EBITDAS of
$15,187 in 2023 Q1, an increase of 119%, compared to$6,944 in 2022 Q1. - Canadian directional drilling market share averaged 25.3% in 2023 Q1, an increase from 19.9% in 2022 Q1.
- Loans and borrowings less cash of
$57,719 as atMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$69,360 as atDecember 31, 2022 . - The Company received
$16,012 in cumulative warrant exercise proceeds by the warrant expiry date ofApril 25, 2023 , which accounted for 99.7% of eligible warrants. - Cathedral used the proceeds realized in
April 2023 to pay off the$13,000 owing on its Syndicated Operating Facility. - Margins in the quarter relative to the prior year were primarily impacted by higher direct costs related to labour, repair and maintenance and third-party equipment rental costs, offset by lower fixed costs as a percentage of revenue, with these costs expected to normalize moving forward.
- The Company remains proactive in regards to its capital budget with the ability to increase or decrease expenditures in response to changing market conditions, including commodity prices which generally drive activity levels. While the Company remains constructive on the outlook for 2023, particularly the second half of the year, the Company is reducing its net capital budget to
$36,000 for 2023 versus the$46,000 previously announced.
- Job count remained flat to 2022 Q4.
- Pricing was flat to 2022 Q4 albeit with a higher proportion of lower revenue conventional work.
- A higher percentage of conventional work reduced average base day rates by approximately
two thousand dollars per day. - Lower revenue rates temporarily compressed margins as the Company continues to rent third-party Measurement-While-Drilling ("MWD") technology.
- The mix of higher revenue Rotary Steerable ("RSS") work returned to 2022 Q4 averages by
March 2023 . - 2023 Q2 job count has increased to over sixty, up from a range of fifty-two to fifty-four earlier in 2023 Q1.
- Bookings and activity in 2023 Q2 and the second half of the year continue to solidify and steadily increase.
- While Discovery Downhole Services ("Discovery") had marginally lower utilization in the first quarter of 2023, utilization levels in the second quarter of 2023 have recovered to similar levels achieved in 2022 Q4.
- Day rates increased to
$12,392 per day from$11,798 per day in 2022 Q4. - Peaking at sixty-two jobs, we were one of the most active directional drilling providers in the quarter.
- Equipment acquired through our consolidation activity provided spare capacity to meet increased customer demand and activity levels.
- Reactivating equipment to meet increased demand resulted in a temporary increase in repair costs compared to historical levels and reduced margins by approximately 3% from both 2022 Q1 and 2022 Q4.
- The motor reactivation completed in 2023 Q1 will reduce capital requirements and improve margins in the second half of the year as we replace rentals and return to a more consistent level of repairs through the remainder of the year.
- We anticipate activity levels rebounding from seasonal spring lows in late-May to early-June and building to levels as strong or stronger than those experienced in 2022 Q3.
Comments from President & CEO
We experienced different dynamics in each major market in

In the
Our focus on performance and delivering value to our customers has delivered a steady increase in job count through the end of March and into April, resulting in over sixty jobs per day currently for Altitude, marking a return to levels of rotary steerable utilization consistent with 2022 Q4. The outlook for activity for the remainder of the year is expected to remain stable from the levels accomplished in Q2 or build slightly from those levels in the back half of the year based on current visibility.
Our mud motor rental business, Discovery, experienced a slight decline in rental utilization, consistent with the rest of the market but, as of today, has returned to utilization levels experienced in 2022 Q4. Mud motor rental utilization is expected to remain steady in the near-term with an increase in the second half of the year, as we take delivery of the latest generation of higher demand motor technology, that is part of our planned 2023 capital program.
The combination of seven different acquisitions over an eighteen-month period continues to deliver increased market share, EBITDAS, and free cash flow for Cathedral as we differentiate ourselves with a much stronger, unified, and highly competent team. Cathedral remains steadfast in its efforts to continue to grow the business by offering exceptional value and excellence to our customers. Virtually all of the key personnel added through the acquisitions remain with the Company, which is a direct benefit of our acquisition structure that aligns our partners to existing shareholders with equity in the Company. This alignment has resulted in a larger, combined team with no loss of any customers or market share related to acquisition integration. We continue to focus on building out the strength of Cathedral by employing a guiding philosophy that we will incorporate and learn from the best of each business we have purchased. On that basis, we have been able to improve efficiencies, best practices, and systems more rapidly than might otherwise have been possible on our own.
The strength of our free cash flow profile, achieved through the acquisitions, has proven powerful. Cathedral's loans and borrowings less cash position at

Annually, the Company's principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and its proceeds from equipment lost-in-hole. In addition, the Company has the ability to fund liquidity requirements through its syndicated credit facility and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity, if available.
In order to facilitate the management of its liquidity, the Company prepares an annual budget, which is updated as necessary depending on varying factors, including changes in capital structure, execution of the Company's business plan and general industry conditions. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors and updated forecasts are prepared as the fiscal year progresses with changes reviewed by the Board of Directors.

The virtue of Cathedral's greatly expanded North American business model is that we can be a major player, no matter where the field spending levels are strongest.
Cathedral uses certain performance measures throughout this news release that are not defined under IFRS or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from that of other organizations, and accordingly, may not be comparable.
These measures include the Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted gross margin %, Adjusted EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS margin %, Adjusted EBITDAS per diluted share and Free cash flow. Management believes these measures provide supplemental financial information that is useful in the evaluation of Cathedral's operations. They are commonly used by other oilfield service companies. Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to IFRS measures as an indicator of Cathedral's performance.
These non-GAAP measures are defined as follows:
i) "Adjusted gross margin" - calculated as gross margin plus non-cash items (depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation); is considered a primary indicator of operating performance (see tabular calculation);
ii) "Adjusted gross margin %" - calculated as Adjusted gross margin divided by revenues; is considered a primary indicator of operating performance (see tabular calculation);
iii) "Adjusted EBITDAS" - calculated as net income before finance costs, unrealized foreign exchange on intercompany balances, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring costs (including acquisition and restructuring costs), write-down of inventory and share-based compensation; provides supplemental information to earnings that is useful in evaluating the results and financing of the Company's business activities before considering certain charges (see tabular calculation);
iv) "Adjusted EBITDAS margin %" - calculated as Adjusted EBITDAS divided by revenues; provides supplemental information to earnings that is useful in evaluating the results and financing of the Company's business activities before considering certain charges as a percentage of revenues (see tabular calculation);
v) "Adjusted EBITDAS per diluted share" - calculated as Adjusted EBITDAS divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding; provides supplemental information to earnings that is useful in evaluating the results and financing of the Company's business activities before considering certain charges on a per diluted share basis; and
vi) "Free cash flow" - calculated as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities prior to: i) changes in non-cash working capital, ii) income taxes paid (refunded) and iii) non-recurring costs less i) property, plant and equipment additions, excluding assets acquired in business combinations, ii) required repayments on loans and borrowings, and iii) cash lease payments, offset by proceeds from dispositions of property, plant and equipment. Management uses this measure as an indication of the Company's ability to generate funds from its operations to support future capital expenditures, additional debt repayment or other initiatives (see tabular calculation).

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements other than statements of present or historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "achieve", "believe", "plan", "intend", "objective", "continuous", "ongoing", "estimate", "outlook", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should" or similar words suggesting future outcomes. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things:
- Future commitments;
- The 2023 capital program and financing of the program;
- The Company's ability to increase or decrease expenditures in response to changing market conditions, including commodity prices which generally drive activity levels;
- Synergies and significant incremental growth opportunity going forward with the ability to replace third-party MWD equipment rentals with Cathedral-sourced technology in U.S. market;
- Bookings and activity in 2023 Q2 and the second half of the year continue to solidify and steadily increase;
- The motor reactivation completed in 2023 Q1 will reduce capital requirements and improve margins in the second half of the year as we replace rentals and return to a more consistent level of repairs through the remainder of the year;
- We anticipate activity levels rebounding from seasonal spring lows in late-May to early-June and building to levels as strong or stronger than those experienced in 2022 Q3;
- The increase in the active motor fleet will reduce requirement for capital to purchase new equipment moving forward and should offset rental costs and improve margins through the remainder of the year;
- We anticipate that margins over the twelve-month period of 2023 will look consistent, if not slightly improved, from 2022;
- The Company anticipates pricing levels will remain somewhat steady for the next couple of quarters;
- Cathedral is actively pursuing options to supply our own MWD technology to potentially capture an organic growth opportunity that would lead to an improvement in margins and a commensurate expansion in EBITDAS;
- The outlook for activity for the remainder of the year is expected to build steadily from here, based on the visibility of current contract bookings in the latter half of the year;
- Mud motor rental utilization is expected to remain steady in the near-term with an increase in the second half of the year, as we take delivery of the latest generation of higher demand motor technology, that is part of our planned 2023 capital program;
- We believe that current economic conditions are sufficient for most programs to proceed in most areas by most E&P companies;
- The market stabilized and strengthened as we entered the second quarter with steady improvement anticipated for the remainder of the year;
- Analyst are currently forecasting that
U.S. land drilling levels will be down roughly 2% in 2023 Q2 versus 2023 Q1, but up 5% year-over-year; - The second half of 2023, analysts are forecasting modest year-over-year declines: 2023 Q3
U.S. land drilling is forecast to be down 2% year-over-year, while the 2023 Q4 land rig-count is forecast to be down 4% year-over-year; - On an absolute basis, the analysts' trajectory has the
U.S. land rig-count bottoming sometime in 2023 Q3 before starting a slow ramp into 2024 and continuing the next year; - In
Canada , activity levels remain low due to spring break-up and this is expected to last until early-June when road bans start being lifted and the climb back to stronger levels begins; - Analyst are forecasting that 2023 Q2 rig activity in
Canada will be up 10% year-over-year, up 9% year-over-year in 2023 Q3 and up 12% year-over-year in 2023 Q4. Calendar year 2024 rig activity is also forecast to rise approximately 2% year-over-year; - The underlying sentiment from industry forecasts is that for now, publishing energy research analysts are more bullish on Canadian activity than the
U.S. , which likely relates to the beginning of LNG-related drilling activity inCanada and the strong natural gas liquids component of the natural gas streams for many of the Canadian E&P companies; U.S. LNG projects will also be constructive for drilling activity, moving forward, as multiple years of natural gas-related drilling and production expenditures will be required, particularly in areas along theSouthern U.S. , including the Permian, Haynesville andEagle Ford plays. Cathedral aims to grow its exposure in these areas in the coming quarters and years.
