Major Drilling Announces Strong Results for Q2 2021

10.12.2020  |  GlobeNewswire

MONCTON, Dec. 10, 2020 - Major Drilling Group International Inc. (TSX: MDI), a leading provider of specialized drilling services to the mining sector (“Major Drilling” or the “Company”), today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2021, ended October 31, 2020.

Highlights

  • Generated revenue of $114.2 million, an increase of 28% from Q1 2021, driven by increasing momentum in gold drilling activity.
  • Increased revenue from junior miners.
  • Recorded net earnings of $7.0 million or $0.09 per share.
  • Repaid $15.0 million of debt; well capitalized with $87 million of total liquidity and a net cash position (1) of $7.6 million, an increase of $9.6 million compared to Q1 2021.
  • Achieved new drilling record with completion of 2,000-meter hole of PQ size, the largest size of core sample in the industry.

“Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact operations in certain regions, many projects resumed operations during the quarter on the back of stronger metal prices and a positive long-term outlook,” said Denis Larocque, President and CEO of Major Drilling. ”Notably, junior mining companies increased their activity levels, particularly in Canada, which is behavior typically seen in an upcycle. We are encouraged that some of our senior gold customers have already forecasted higher budgets for 2021 and that junior mining companies are continuing to raise capital to fund exploration programs. Copper prices have also increased by more than 50% over the last eight months, as infrastructure plans are commencing globally. Industry experts expect the global refined copper market to hit a deficit this year, which should lead to significant investments in copper exploration projects. Looking forward to calendar 2021, as we enter our seasonally slower third quarter, we are in a unique position to react to this market dynamic as our financial strength has allowed us to invest in safety, equipment and innovation in order to meet the high standards of our customers.”

“I would like to salute our crews at the Oyu Tolgoi copper project in Mongolia for their incredible accomplishment. They achieved a new drilling record by completing a 2,000-meter hole of PQ size, which is the largest size of core sample in our industry. This is an extremely deep hole for PQ that required highly specialized expertise and equipment. Calendar 2020 has been a banner year for us in terms of specialized drilling, given we also achieved the longest drill hole ever drilled in Canada at the Windfall project for Osisko Mining, at 3,467 meters, reaffirming our reputation as the leader in specialized drilling in the industry.”

“The Company had a strong financial performance in the quarter, generating $19.3 million in EBITDA (2) while spending $8.0 million on capital expenditures,” said Ian Ross, CFO of Major Drilling. “The bulk of the capital expenditures related to ancillary equipment needed to support the jurisdictions where we are seeing increased demand for our drill rigs. We also added one rig this quarter and disposed of 13 older, inefficient rigs bringing the total rig count to 601. We finished the quarter with net cash of $7.6 million, reflecting our continued strategy of maintaining a balance sheet that ensures flexibility and resilience through the cycle.”

Second Quarter Ended October 31, 2020

Total revenue for the quarter was $114.2 million, down 6% from revenue of $121.2 million recorded in the same quarter last year. The unfavourable foreign exchange translation impact on revenue for the quarter, when comparing to the effective rates for the same period last year, was approximately $2 million, with a minimal impact on net earnings as expenditures in foreign jurisdictions tend to be in the same currency as revenue.

Revenue for the quarter from Canada - U.S. drilling operations increased by 8.1% to $70.6 million, compared to the same period last year. The region saw activity levels resume to pre-COVID-19 levels and part of the growth was related to an influx of junior activity as a result of the increased junior equity financings that occurred over the past six months.

South and Central American revenue decreased by 27.5% to $21.6 million for the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. Government or customer-imposed restrictions regarding COVID-19 remained in place during the quarter in certain regions, impacting activity levels.

Asian and African revenue decreased by 15.7% to $22.0 million, compared to the same period last year as the region continues to deal with COVID-19 related impacts.

Gross margin percentage for the quarter was 20.0%, compared to 20.4% for the same period last year. Depreciation expense totaling $9.5 million is included in direct costs for the current quarter, versus $9.3 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes depreciation expense, was 28.3% for the quarter, compared to 28.1% for the same period last year. Gross margins were strong despite some COVID-19 logistical challenges that resulted in some additional direct costs. Margins were positively impacted by approximately 1%, as the Company was able to take advantage of government assistance programs available in the hardest hit regions, however as activity is now returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, these programs will have minimal impact in the coming quarter. Pricing in certain jurisdictions has been increased to reflect the demand growth and some of the COVID-19 related additional costs.

General and administrative costs were $11.6 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to the same quarter last year. Reduced travel continues to drive the decrease in general and administrative costs as compared to the previous year and will remain in place until a time when it can be resumed in a safe and responsible manner.

The income tax provision for the quarter was an expense of $2.0 million compared to an expense of $3.0 million for the prior year period. The income tax expense for the quarter was positively impacted by the utilization of previously unrecognized losses.

Net earnings were $7.0 million or $0.09 per share ($0.09 per share diluted) for the quarter, compared to net earnings of $7.3 million or $0.09 per share ($0.09 per share diluted) for the prior year quarter.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company’s financial data has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, with the exception of certain financial measures detailed below. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures are key, for both management and investors, in evaluating performance at a consolidated level and are commonly reported and widely used by investors and lending institutions as indicators of a company’s operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Major Drilling Group International Inc.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share information)

1. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Major Drilling Group International Inc. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and has its head office at 111 St. George Street, Suite 100, Moncton, NB, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The principal source of revenue consists of contract drilling for companies primarily involved in mining and mineral exploration. The Company has operations in Canada, the United States, Mexico, South America, Asia, Africa and Europe.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and using the accounting policies as outlined in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended April 30, 2020.

On December 10, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the financial statements for issue.

Basis of consolidation
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation, where appropriate.

Basis of preparation
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as presented in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended April 30, 2020.

3. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are not readily apparent from other sources, which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Depending on the severity and duration of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, results could be impacted in future periods. It is not possible at this time to estimate the magnitude of such potential future impacts.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment for depreciation purposes, property, plant and equipment and inventory valuation, determination of income and other taxes, assumptions used in the compilation of share-based payments, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, amounts recorded as accrued liabilities, contingent consideration and allowance for doubtful accounts, and impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets.

The Company applied judgment in determining the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, the determination of cash-generating units (“CGUs”), the degree of componentization of property, plant and equipment, the recognition of provisions and accrued liabilities, and the determination of the probability that deferred income tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings.

4. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

The third quarter (November to January) is normally the Company’s weakest quarter due to the shutdown of mining and exploration activities, often for extended periods over the holiday season.

5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Capital expenditures for the three and six months ended October 31, 2020 were $6,376 (2019 - $5,543) and $15,544 (2019 - $16,108), respectively. Cash payments in the current quarter for assets previously acquired were $1,669 (2019 – nil).

6. EXPENSES BY NATURE

Direct costs by nature are as follows:

(in $000s CAD) Q2 2021 Q2 2020 YTD 2021 YTD 2020
Depreciation $ 9,468 $ 9,311 $ 19,175 $ 18,632

Direct costs $ 91,300 $ 96,475 $ 165,595 $ 192,565

Depreciation expense recorded in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended October 31, 2020 was $507 (2019 - $661) and $1,020 (2019 - $1,057), respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for the period can be reconciled to accounting earnings before income tax as follows:

Q2 2021 Q2 2020 YTD 2021 YTD 2020
Earnings before income tax $ 9,015 $ 10,279 $ 12,394 $ 18,306

Rate variances in foreign jurisdictions (69 ) (143 ) (232 ) (161 )
Permanent differences and other 379 195 75 122
Income tax provision recognized in net earnings $ 2,006 $ 3,020 $ 3,237 $ 5,014

The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies for all tax years open to audit based upon the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of these tax liabilities, including related interest charges. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to changes in tax laws. While management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters, future results may include favourable or unfavourable adjustments to these estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made, or resolved, or when the statutes of limitations lapse.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

All of the Company’s earnings are attributable to common shares, therefore, net earnings is used in determining earnings per share.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value
The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivables, demand credit facilities and trade and other payables approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value as the interest applicable is reflective of fair market rates.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

  • Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
  • Level 3 - inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s derivatives are classified as level 2 financial instruments. There were no transfers of amounts between level 1, level 2 and level 3 financial instruments for the quarter ended October 31, 2020.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

Credit risk
As at October 31, 2020, 91.6% (April 30, 2020 - 81.6%) of the Company’s trade receivables were aged as current and 1.6% (April 30, 2020 - 2.0%) of the trade receivables were impaired.

The movements in the allowance for impairment of trade receivables during the three and twelve month periods were as follows:

October 31, 2020 April 30, 2020
Opening balance $ 1,226 $ 863
Increase in impairment allowance 298 442
Recovery of amounts previously impaired (59 ) -
Write-off charged against allowance (76 ) (37 )
Foreign exchange translation differences (35 ) (42 )
Ending balance $ 1,354 $ 1,226

Foreign currency risk
As at October 31, 2020, the most significant carrying amounts of net monetary assets or liabilities (which may include intercompany balances with other subsidiaries) that: (i) are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective Company subsidiary; and (ii) cause foreign exchange rate exposure, including the impact on earnings before income taxes (“EBIT”), if the corresponding rate changes by 10%, are as follows:

Rate variance MNT/USD IDR/USD USD/CLP USD/AUD USD/BRL USD/CAD Other
Net exposure on monetary assets 7,435 6,535 5,346 4,513 2,847 1,906 358
