Archer Limited : Second Quarter 2018 Earnings Release
Hamilton, Bermuda (August 14, 2018)
** Second quarter highlights 2018**
- Revenue $224.4 million.
- EBITDA of $18.0 million before exceptional items.
- Revenue and margin increase for all segments in Eastern Hemisphere relative to first quarter.
- Award of four additional Equinor platforms to commence in fourth quarter 2018.
- Depreciation of the Argentine Peso reduced Land Drilling revenue (reported in USD) by 8% in the quarter.
John Lechner, CEO Archer comments:
"I’m pleased to see that the recovery is starting to build in most of our operating areas. We continue to see growing activity offshore Norway, as well as increased activity in Asia Pacific. This resulted in a revenue increase of $6 million relative to the first quarter of 2018.
We remain on track in our preparations to mobilize to the four additional platforms awarded by Equinor, which we will begin operating at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The addition of these platform crews, along with increased personnel coming on board to support growing activity across our other Eastern Hemisphere divisions, will see our Norwegian headcount increase by about 30% to 2,000 by year end.
Our efforts to improve our financial performance in the South of Argentina have so far not yielded the results we have planned for and were also negatively impacted in the second quarter by the winter season. We are still in discussions with our unions to reduce our headcount as planned and we still have too many employees for our activity level. However, with a new management team now in place, a lower cost base, and improved incentive terms, I am confident we will see improved financial results during second part of the year.
I also want to thank our management and field organization for their consistent and effective QHSE focus, which resulted in our Total Recordable Incident Frequency (TRIF) dipping to 0.41 as at the end of Q2, an all-time low for Archer as a company."

Hamilton, Bermuda (August 31, 2018)
Archer Limited (OSE: Archer) has entered into a definitive agreement to sell AWC Frac Valves (“AWC”) to a US based private equity fund for a consideration of USD 30 million on a debt- and cash-free basis.

AWC, headquartered in Conroe, Texas, is a leading manufacturer and service provider of premium frac valves. The company has over the last two years managed an impressive turn-around and has increased revenue by more than 170% relative to 2016.

This transaction follows the IPO of QES on the New York Stock Exchange earlier in the year. AWC has benefitted from the improved onshore US activity and we are pleased to be selling to a US based private equity investor committed to growing the business.”
The transaction will close by end of day US Central Standard Time today, Friday 31 August. The transaction will generate an estimated accounting gain of USD 10 million to Archer, and the net proceeds of approximately USD 29 million will primarily be used for debt prepayments.

Archer Limited: Third quarter 2018 - Best quarterly operating result in 3 years
Hamilton, Bermuda (November 2, 2018)
Third Quarter 2018 earnings release highlights
· Best quarterly operating result in 3 years.
· Revenue of $213.7 million.
· EBITDA before exceptional items of $25.7 million, an increase of 45% from same quarter last year.
· EBITDA of $22.4 million, an increase of 75% from same quarter last year.
· EBIT of $8.6 million
· Divestment of US Onshore (AWC Frac Valves) for $30 million.
· All geographies and segments reported positive EBITDA, including within Land Drilling.John Lechner, CEO Archer comments:
"Archer is pleased to deliver the strongest quarterly EBITDA margin reported since the third quarter of 2015. The bottom line performance is a result of an improved market in Eastern Hemisphere, as well as a strong operational delivery and lower cost base in Argentina.
In August we divested our US onshore business for an Enterprise value of $30 million. This divestment enables us to focus the company service portfolio and to de-leverage the company, while reducing the Net Interest Bearing Debt by approximately $30 million.
Our determined focus on performance improvement and restructuring of our Land Drilling business is finally paying dividends in the form of improved drilling performance coupled with a lower cost base. In isolation, the financial turmoil in Argentina has a negative effect on the top line revenue reported in US dollars, but a slight positive effect on our EBITDA margins. Furthermore, we have so far not seen any drop in activity levels as a result of the financial uncertainty. Although the operating environment in Argentina is somewhat unpredictable, we feel we have turned the tide in terms of delivering more consistent bottom line performance going forward.
On October 1st we successfully onboarded approximately 400 new employees when we mobilized to four additional Equinor platform rigs as awarded earlier in Q2. Our onshore and offshore teams have worked relentlessly to ensure a safe and effective start up and transition on all platforms, and we expect further modest headcount growth going forward as we deliver on the increased demand for our services in the market.
Growth in our other businesses in Eastern Hemisphere leveled out in the third quarter, but with the increased contracted platform drilling activity, scheduled well services projects and underlying forecasted growth in E&P spend, I am confident we will see sustained incremental growth in the coming quarters.
Finally, with only one quarter left in the year, we feel confident we can deliver our stated objectives of improved financial results in second half of 2018, an EBITDA margin improvement of 1-2% relative to 2017, and Capex below 3% of revenue."

Noen som har noen tanker om Archer de kommende måneder her?
Har tradet denne noen ganger de siste mnd. Typisk kjøpt på +/- 6,50 tallet og solgt etter en oppgang, sist rett etter Q3. Ganske volatil i det området. Nå har den jo sunket til 5’tallet.
Ser endel analytikere opererer med kursmål langt over dagens kurser. Kjøpt meg en pott igjen nå, så får vi se om man treffer denne gangen også eller om vi skal videre ned.
Teknisk er den vel i et fallende kniv område. Fundamentalt er vel gjelda og usikkerheten til olje-pris noe som er utfordringer.
Gått igjennom kvartalsrapporten deres og ble i grunn imponert, det ser meget lovende ut, og jeg har personlig tiltro til at OPEC strekker seg for å plassere oljekursen i område 60-70$ fatet.
Men jeg tørr ikke selv gå inn, for lite kjennskap til selskapet rett og slett. Og at det er svært volatilt antyder at meglere generelt opplever det som et mer spekulativt case enn andre olje-relaterte aksjer.
QEC, BWO og ARCHER leverte vel alle 3 Q3 presentasjoner som var hyggelige overraskelser, og alle stupte i kurs reltart til olje-panikk. Tror makro-triggere er det viktigste å gjøre seg tanker til omkring en slik investering. Valgte BWO selv fordi jeg anså det som tryggeste.

@studenten86 jeg ble også imponert av Q3, faktisk litt overasket. Men etter 20% oppgang gikk jeg ut, så kan prise meg lykkelig for det nå.
" Best quarterly operating result in 3 years"
" All geographies and segments reported positive EBITDA, including within Land Drilling"
" Current performance and forecasted E&P growth provides good foundation for further
growth in 2019"
Innsidekjøp av CFO sist uke, tyder vell på at det ikke nødvendigvis kommer noe juicy med det første, men tar allikevel et bet på dagens nivåer. Gjelden er dog forøvrig nokså høy.
Jeg har som deg også tiltro at det ligger i Opec sin interesse av å holde oljeprisen oppe rundt det nivået.

CFO kjøpt for ca 200.000 sist uke, og nå General Counsel for rett under 100k. Om ikke annet er det ihvertfall godt å se at det at det kjøpes.
Jepp, lignende skjedde i BWO og PHO(sikkert flere i siste tid også). Selskaper med voldsomme fall, tilsynelatende på meget tynt grunnlag. =) SIkkert flere selskaper som også har det. Lurer på at det har vært artikler om økende short eksponerende og minkende long-eksponering globalt, primært tilknyttet olje-utvikling som kan være årsak. Noen som rister litt på hele kloden?
Meget hyggelig at insidere viser vei når de mener ting blir galt priset/tolket av markedet.
