Total Energy’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 reflect an ongoing focus on operational safety and efficiency and preservation of the Company’s financial strength and liquidity in the face of continued challenging global industry conditions. Included in the financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $3.2 million of incremental depreciation expense resulting from a change in depreciation estimates in the Contract Drilling Services segment effective April 1, 2020, $0.9 million of unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of intercompany working capital balances of foreign subsidiaries and a $0.1 million increase to the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts. $9.1 million was received during the fourth quarter of 2020 under various COVID-19 relief programs in Canada, the United States and Australia.

(1) Revenue for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2019 includes a $17.6 million contract termination payment.
(2) See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
(3) Operating days includes drilling and paid stand-by days.
Revenue per operating day during the fourth quarter of 2020 was lower than the comparable quarter of 2019 due primarily to the receipt of a $17.6 million contract termination payment in 2019. Excluding this termination payment, fourth quarter revenue per operating day decreased approximately 15% on a year over year basis due to lower average pricing and the mix of equipment operating and segment EBITDA decreased by approximately 26%. Despite the year over year decline in revenue and EBITDA and excluding the termination payment received in 2019, the quarterly segment EBITDA margin increased from 20% in 2019 to 27% in 2020 as a result of cost management efforts and the receipt of COVID assistance. Fourth quarter operating days in Australia were negatively impacted with two rigs having been removed from service in the third quarter of 2020 for recertifications and upgrades. Both rigs have been contracted, with one rig scheduled to return to service in the second quarter and the second in the third quarter of 2021.

Fourth quarter revenue in the RTS segment was 56% lower in 2020 as compared to 2019 due to a substantial decrease in equipment utilization, particularly in the United States. Despite this substantial decline in revenue, fourth quarter segment EBITDA increased by 9% on a year over year basis and the segment EBITDA margin increased by 146% from 13% in 2019 to 32% in 2020. The improvement in EBITDA margins is a result of efforts to right-size this segment’s operating infrastructure in response to prolonged reduced industry activity levels in Canada and the receipt of COVID relief funds. In addition, a substantial portion of the heavy truck fleet was taken out of service during 2020 to reduce operating costs and equipment wear and tear until such time as North American industry conditions warrant placing such units back into service.

(1) See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
(2) Rental equipment utilization is measured on a horsepower basis.
The year over year decrease in the CPS segment’s fourth quarter revenue was due primarily to a decrease in fabrication bookings over the past year and lower rental fleet utilization. Rental utilization was negatively impacted with the return of 6,500 horsepower of rental compression during the fourth quarter of 2020 following the bankruptcy of a United States customer. Cost control measures and the receipt of COVID relief funds contributed to a 52% year over year increase in the quarterly segment EBITDA margin which in turn resulted in a 22% increase in 2020 fourth quarter segment EBITDA relative to 2019. The fabrication sales backlog increased by $6.9 million, or 19%, from September 30, 2020 as the conversion rate of quoting activity to sales orders saw a modest increase during the fourth quarter of 2020.

(2) Service hours is defined as well servicing hours of service provided to customers and includes paid rig move and standby.
(3) The Company reports its service rig utilization for its operational service rigs in North America based on service hours of 3,650 per rig per year to reflect standard 10 hour operations per day. Utilization for the Company’s service rigs in Australia is calculated based on service hours of 8,760 per rig per year to reflect standard 24 hour operations.
WS segment revenue decreased in the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 as a result of lower activity levels in all geographic regions. North American results were impacted by challenging market conditions following the outbreak of COVID-19 in March of 2020 while activity in Australia began to moderate in the third quarter of 2020 and remained lower through to the end of 2020. Cost management and the receipt of COVID relief funds contributed to a 47% year over year increase in fourth quarter segment EBITDA margin that mitigated the decline in EBITDA.
Corporate
With the implementation of additional procedures and safeguards, the Company maintained continuous operations in all jurisdictions throughout 2020. Despite the additional health and safety challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and a substantial decline in total hours worked, Total Energy achieved the lowest annual consolidated total recordable injury frequency (TRIF) rate in its 24-year history.
Significant measures were taken during 2020 to protect the financial strength and liquidity of the Company in the face of a historic decline in North American oil and natural gas drilling and completion activity. As a result, Total Energy was able to generate substantial free cash flow despite a 52% decrease in annual consolidated revenue. Cash from operating activities after changes in working capital was $86.1 million for 2020. After funding $13.5 million of net capital expenditures, $10.3 million of interest expense, $8.3 million of lease liability obligations and $2.7 million of dividends that were declared in 2019, the remaining $51.3 million of free cash flow was directed primarily towards the repayment of bank debt, which was reduced by $44.8 million, or 16%, during the year. The Company’s year-end cash position increased by 16%, or $3.1 million, compared to December 31, 2019.
Total Energy exited 2020 with $138.9 million of positive working capital (including $23.0 million of cash) and $85 million was available on the Company’s $255 million of revolving bank credit facilities. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding debt at December 31, 2020 was 2.72%.
Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic and consequential historic decline in global economic activity resulted in extremely difficult industry conditions during 2020. While oil and natural gas prices have recovered substantially over the past several months, producers remain cautious and North American activity levels remain low by historical measures. As such, Total Energy remains focused on the safe and efficient operation of its business, the disciplined deployment of capital and the repayment of bank debt. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the amount drawn on the Company’s revolving credit facilities has been further reduced by $10 million to $160 million, resulting in $95 million of currently undrawn and available credit.
Total Energy’s Well Servicing segment has seen an increase in Canadian activity levels in 2021, driven in part by an increase in well abandonment activity as funding from the Government of Canada’s $1.7 billion well abandonment program began to accelerate in late 2020.
During the third quarter of 2020, two drilling rigs were removed from service in Australia for required recertifications. The first rig is expected to be completed and commence operations in April 2021. The second drilling rig has recently been contracted and requires $2.0 million of additional upgrades. This rig is expected to commence operations in July 2021.
Demand for compression equipment has also begun to slowly recover as evidenced by the modest increase in the fabrication sales backlog during the fourth quarter of 2020 that has continued into 2021 with improving fundamentals for North American natural gas. The Board of Directors of Total Energy has approved a $2.5 million increase to the 2021 capital budget for compression rental fleet additions. Including the second Australian rig upgrade, Total Energy’s 2021 capital expenditure budget now stands at $13.6 million plus $1.1 million of capital expenditure commitments that have been carried forward from 2020. Total Energy expects to finance its 2021 capital expenditure budget with cash on hand and cashflow from operations.

Notes to the Financial Highlights
(1) EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company’s primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy’s performance. Total Energy’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.
(2) Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities.
(3) Net Debt equals long-term debt plus lease liabilities plus current liabilities minus current assets.
(4) Basic and diluted shares outstanding reflect the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. See note 16 to the Company’s 2020 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
