High Arctic Reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

Calgary Alberta, March 21, 2017 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) – “High Arctic” or the “Corporation” is pleased to announce its 2016 fourth quarter and year end results. Thomas Alford, High Arctic’s President and CEO stated: “The fourth quarter saw continued positive performance from our drilling operations in Papua New Guinea, as the integration of our recently acquired Canadian production services platform continued.  The financial performance of the Corporation in the quarter and over the full year, combined with our strong balance sheet provides us with the ability to pursue additional growth opportunities as we continue to grow High Arctic’s business operations. Highlights 2016 marked a year of transition for High Arctic as the Corporation utilized the strength of its PNG business to expand the Corporation’s business operations during an extended period of weakness in the global oilfield services sector and was able to add additional geographic and product line diversification through the completion of the acquisition of Tervita’s Production Services division (the “Tervita Acquisition”) in the third quarter of 2016. Fourth Quarter 2016: Revenue in the fourth quarter increased 7% to $62.3 million from $58.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Contribution from the Tervita Acquisition offset lower quarter over quarter contribution from the Corporation’s Drilling Services segment which benefited from high activity levels in the fourth quarter of 2015 versus the fourth quarter of 2016. Integration of the Tervita’s Production Services Division was largely completed during the quarter, with focus now transitioning to the achieving of operating and business synergies. Due to reduced activity from the Corporation’s Drilling Services segment in the quarter versus the fourth quarter of 2015, Adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $18.3 million from $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Rigs 103 and 115 were active throughout the quarter, with Rig 104 commencing drilling operations in November.  Rig 116 remained on standby in the quarter. In comparison, the fourth quarter of 2015 saw EBITDA contribution from all four rigs throughout the quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, the Corporation received an interim extension of its drilling and related services contract for PNG Rig 103 and 104 until July 31, 2017 and remains in discussions with its customer for long-term renewals of its contracts for Rigs 103 and 104. Consistent with the reduced Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter, as well as increased depreciation expense associated with capital investments made in 2015 on the Corporation’s drilling rigs as well as assets acquired in the Tervita Acquisition, Adjusted net earnings declined to $8.4 million ($0.15 per share (basic)) in the quarter versus $9.7 million ($0.18 per share (basic)) in the fourth quarter of 2015.  On a net earnings basis, the Corporation generated $7.5 million in net earnings in the quarter versus $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  During the quarter, the Corporation incurred an additional $0.9 million in onetime costs related to the Tervita Acquisition, resulting in net earnings of $7.5 million ($0.14 per share (basic)) versus $9.7 million ($0.18 per share (basic)) generated in the comparative quarter. Full Year 2016: Revenue declined 1% to $208.0 million during the year from $209.9 million in 2015. The four months of revenue contribution from the Tervita Acquisition largely offset lower drilling activity in PNG as well as softer activity and pricing for the Corporation’s Canadian snubbing and nitrogen operations during the year. Additional margin contribution from the Corporation’s owned PNG based drilling rigs, combined with proactive cost management allowed Adjusted EBITDA to increase 11% to $70.8 million in 2016 from $64.0 million in 2015. High Arctic distributed a total of $17.0 million to shareholders year to date via $10.5 million in dividends, representing 18% of funds provided from operations during the year, and $6.5 million in share buybacks under the Corporation’s NCIB. Consistent with the year to date increase in Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings increased by 9% to $34.7 million ($0.65 per share (basic)) from $31.9 million ($0.58 per share (basic)) for the year ended 2015.  Full year net earnings benefited from the recognition of a gain of $12.7 million related to the Tervita Acquisition.  This gain represents the difference in appraised value of the net assets acquired in the transaction versus the $42.8 million paid to acquire them.  This gain as well as transaction costs associated with the acquisition has been excluded from the Corporation’s Adjusted net earnings as these costs are not representative of the earnings associated with the Corporation’s ongoing business operations. Funds provided from operations of $59.8 million during the year (2015 – $52.8 million) combined with $9.0 million generated from the sale of short term investments offset $52.4 million invested in capital assets and the Tervita Acquisition as well as $17.0 million distributed to investors, allowing the Corporation to exit 2016 with no net debt.  Through the strength of its balance sheet, High Arctic continues to seek growth opportunities in order to further diversify its business operations and position itself for a future increase in industry activity levels. Corporate Profile Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, High Arctic provides oilfield services to exploration and production companies operating in Canada and Papua New Guinea (“PNG”).
