CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal,” “will” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

a decline in or substantial volatility of crude oil and natural gas commodity prices;
a decrease in domestic spending by the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry;
fluctuation of our operating results and volatility of our industry;
inability to maintain or increase pricing of our contract drilling services, or early termination of any term contract for which early termination compensation is not paid;
inability to successfully relocate and recontract rigs from the Haynesville to the Permian Basin;
our backlog of term contracts declining rapidly;
the loss of any of our customers, financial distress or management changes of potential customers or failure to obtain contract renewals and additional customer contracts for our drilling services;
overcapacity and competition in our industry;
an increase in interest rates and deterioration in the credit markets;
our inability to comply with the financial and other covenants in debt agreements;
unanticipated costs, delays and other difficulties in executing our long-term growth strategy;
the loss of key management personnel;
new technology that may cause our drilling methods or equipment to become less competitive;
labor costs or shortages of skilled workers;
the loss of or interruption in operations of one or more key vendors;
the effect of operating hazards and severe weather on our rigs, facilities, business, operations and financial results, and limitations on our insurance coverage;
restrictive covenants under our debt agreements limiting our ability to conduct our operations;
inability to obtain consents from the holders of our convertible notes necessary to maintain operations of our drilling rigs;
increased regulation of drilling in unconventional formations;
risks related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including the effects of related sanctions and supply chain disruptions or general effects on the global economy;
risks associated with a global pandemic that would cause a reduction in economic activity or reduction in oil and natural gas demand or prices;
the incurrence of significant costs and liabilities in the future resulting from our failure to comply with new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances into the environment; and
the potential failure by us to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this Form 10-Q and Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.Nature of Operations and Recent Events

Except as expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “ICD,” and the “Company” refer to Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. and its subsidiary.

We provide land-based contract drilling services for oil and natural gas producers targeting unconventional resource plays in the United States. We own and operate a premium fleet comprised of modern, technologically advanced drilling rigs.

We currently focus our operations on unconventional resource plays located in geographic regions that we can efficiently support from our Houston, Texas and Midland, Texas facilities in order to maximize economies of scale. Currently, our rigs are operating in the Permian Basin and the Haynesville Shale; however, our rigs have previously operated in the Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent and Eaglebine regions as well.

Our business depends on the level of exploration and production activity by oil and natural gas companies operating in the United States, and in particular, the regions where we actively market our contract drilling services. The oil and natural gas exploration and production industry is historically cyclical and characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and natural gas prices and market expectations of potential changes in those prices significantly affect the levels of those activities. Worldwide political, regulatory, economic and military events, as well as natural disasters have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility historically and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of exploration and development activities in the United States and the regions where we market our contract drilling services, whether resulting from changes in oil and natural gas prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our business.

Market Conditions

Oil and natural gas prices were negatively impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and significantly decreased the demand for drilling services in 2020 and early 2021. However, business conditions have begun to improve rapidly which has led to improved dayrates and margins for contract drilling services. In addition, the supply for pad-optimal, super-spec rigs is finite with limited spare capacity that can be reactivated without significant cost and expense.

Oil prices (WTI-Cushing) reached a high of $123.64 per barrel on March 8, 2022; however, prices have fallen since those highs. As of May 1, 2023, oil was $75.65 per barrel.

Recently, natural gas prices have fallen dramatically. Natural gas prices (Henry Hub) reached a high of $9.85 per mmcf on August 22, 2022, but fell to $3.52 per mmcf as of December 31, 2022 and is $2.24 per mmcf as of May 1, 2023. These commodity price declines, as well as take away capacity issues, have caused market conditions in the Haynesville Shale to weaken rapidly, which we believe will result in a reduction in the number of drilling rigs operating in the Haynesville Shale, including a reduction in our operating rigs. We intend to relocate these rigs to the Permian Basin where market conditions remain strong and where we believe we can recontract these rigs on attractive terms, with two relocations and recontractings already occurring as of May 8, 2023. However, there can be no assurance that market conditions in the Permian Basin will remain strong and will not be adversely affected by recent volatility in oil prices nor any assurance that we will be successful in marketing all of these rigs in the Permian Basin or that they will be contracted on a timely basis or upon terms that are acceptable to us.

2.Interim Financial Information

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read along with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In management’s opinion, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for all periods presented.

9

As we had no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented, no other components of comprehensive income is presented.

Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Segment and Geographical Information

Our operations consist of one reportable segment because all of our drilling operations are located in the United States and have similar economic characteristics. Corporate management administers all properties as a whole rather than as discrete operating segments. Operational data is tracked by rig; however, financial performance is measured as a single enterprise and not on a rig-by-rig basis. Further, the allocation of capital resources is employed on a project-by-project basis across our entire asset base to maximize profitability without regard to individual geographic areas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as additional guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. In addition, the guidance amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The new guidance is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In October 2019, the FASB approved a proposal which grants smaller reporting companies additional time to implement FASB standards on current expected credit losses (CECL) to January 2023. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. Trade receivables (including the allowance for credit losses) are the only financial instrument in scope for ASU 2016-13 for the Company. The Company evaluated historical losses to develop our allowance for credit losses and will continue to monitor current conditions to estimate our future expected credit losses. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company as it did not result in a transition adjustment as of January 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, our total allowance for credit losses was $31.0 thousand.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. This guidance enhances transparency of an entity’s use of supplier finance programs by requiring quarterly and annual disclosures about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts annually, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2023, we completed our assessment and adopted this standard concluding that it is not applicable to the Company at this time as we currently have no supplier finance programs in place.

The amounts presented in the table above consist only of fixed consideration related to fees for rig mobilizations and demobilizations, if applicable, which are allocated to the drilling services performance obligation as such performance obligation is satisfied. We have elected the exemption from disclosure of remaining performance obligations for variable consideration. Therefore, dayrate revenue to be earned on a rate scale associated with drilling conditions and level of service provided for each fractional-hour time increment over the contract term and other variable consideration such as penalties and reimbursable revenues, have been excluded from the disclosure.

11

Contract Costs

We capitalize costs incurred to fulfill our contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy our performance obligations under the contract and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. These costs, which principally relate to rig mobilization costs at the commencement of a new contract, are deferred as a current or noncurrent asset (depending on the length of the contract term), and amortized ratably to contract drilling expense as services are rendered over the initial term of the related drilling contract. Such contract costs, recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, amounted to $0.7 million and $0.3 million on our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, contract costs increased by $0.9 million and we amortized $0.5 million of contract costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, contract costs increased by $2.0 million, and we amortized $1.2 million of contract costs.

4.Leases

We have multi-year operating and financing leases for corporate office space, field location facilities, land, vehicles and various other equipment used in our operations. We also have a significant number of rentals related to our drilling operations that are day-to-day or month-to-month arrangements. Our multi-year leases have remaining lease terms of greater than one year to three years.

5.Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market;

Level 2

Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; and

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

13

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities and our debt. Our debt consists primarily of our Convertible Notes and Revolving ABL Facility as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, which are determined to be Level 1 measurements, approximate their carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The estimated fair value of our Revolving ABL Credit Facility was $18.8 million and $11.9 million, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are determined to be Level 3 measurements as our debt is not actively traded and the fair value estimate is based on discounted estimated future cash flows or a fair value in-exchange assumption, which are significant unobservable inputs in the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of our outstanding floating rate debt as of March 31, 2023, we utilized a credit spread of 436 bps on the Revolving ABL Credit Facility based on an analysis of credit spreads of comparably rated public debt items as well as the original issuance price of the debt. We utilized a credit spread of 493 bps to determine the fair value of our Revolving ABL Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022.

The estimated fair value of our Convertible Notes was estimated as $169.2 million and $159.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Convertible Notes is also determined to be a Level 3 measurement as this instrument is not actively traded and was estimated using a binomial lattice model. The factors used to determine fair value as of March 31, 2023 are subject to management's judgement and expertise and include, but are not limited to our share price, expected price volatility (60.7%), risk-free rate (3.8%), and credit spread (3,184 bps) relative to our credit rating. The factors used to determine fair value as of December 31, 2022 included, but were not limited to our share price, expected price volatility (59.0%), risk-free rate (4.2%) and credit spread (3,262 bps) relative to our credit rating.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

As described in Note 8, we determined that certain features under our Convertible Notes required bifurcation from the debt host agreement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 as of March 18, 2022. Accordingly, on the issuance date of the Convertible Notes, March 18, 2022, we recorded the fair value of the embedded derivative liability of $75.7 million, in our consolidated balance sheet. The change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability was assessed quarterly and recorded in our consolidated statement of operations as “Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability” until the features underlying the instrument were exercised, redeemed, cancelled or expired. In the first quarter of 2022, we recognized a loss of $1.9 million representing the estimated change in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability between March 18, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

After the approval of our stockholders on June 8, 2022, certain features under our Convertible Notes were modified and no longer met the criteria to bifurcate from the debt host agreement. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2022, we recognized an additional loss of $2.4 million representing the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability for the period between March 31, 2022 and June 8, 2022. We recorded the extinguishment of the embedded derivative liability by reclassifying $69.2 million to stockholders’ equity, representing the fair value of the conversion rate feature of the derivative liability on our balance sheet, as the conversion rate feature then met the criteria to be classified as equity during the second quarter of 2022. We recognized a gain on extinguishment of the derivative liability of $10.8 million in our consolidated statement of operations associated with the PIK interest rate feature of the embedded derivative liability during the second quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no embedded derivative liability recorded.

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability as of March 31, 2022 was estimated using a “with and without” approach:

“With” scenario: the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of the valuation date is estimated based on a binomial lattice model.

“Without” scenario: the fair value of the Convertible Notes “without” the embedded features was estimated using a discounted cash flow model whereby the expected cash flows absent the embedded derivative (i.e., the coupon and principal payments) are discounted at a credit-adjusted rate.

14

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our embedded derivative liability as of March 31, 2022 were a volatility rate of 57.5%, a credit spread of 3,481 basis points and a risk-free rate of 2.4%. The expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of our common stock and the remaining term of the Convertible Notes of 4.0 years at March 31, 2022.

There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the first quarter of 2023.

See Note 9 “Stock-Based Compensation” for fair value of liability-based awards.

Fair value measurements are applied with respect to our non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis, which would consist of measurements primarily of long-lived assets.

Convertible Notes

On March 18, 2022, we entered into a subscription agreement with affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P. and an affiliate of Glendon Capital Management L.P. (the “Subscription Agreement”) for the placement of $157.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible secured PIK toggle notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”), and currently have $181.8 million of Convertible Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2022 (the “Indenture”). The obligations under the Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority lien on collateral other than accounts receivable, deposit accounts and other related collateral pledged as first priority collateral (“Priority Collateral”) under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility (defined below). Proceeds from the private placement of the Convertible Notes were used to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness under our term loan credit agreement, to repay obligations to prior equity holders of Sidewinder Drilling LLC, and for working capital purposes. In connection with the placement of the Convertible Notes, we issued 2,268,000 shares of our common stock as a structuring fee. The structuring fee shares were issued on March 18, 2022, concurrent with the closing of the private placement of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes mature on March 18, 2026.

The Convertible Notes have a cash interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread, with a floor of 1% (collectively, “SOFR”) plus 12.5%. The Convertible Notes have a PIK interest rate of SOFR plus 9.5%. We have the right at our option, to PIK interest under the Convertible Notes for the entire term of the Convertible Notes. We elected to PIK outstanding interest as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, resulting in the issuance of additional $12.7 million and $11.6 million principal amount of Convertible Notes, respectively.

The effective conversion price of the Convertible Notes is $4.51 per share (221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes). We may issue up to $7.5 million of additional Convertible Notes. We may convert all Convertible Notes (including PIK notes) in connection with a Qualified Merger Conversion (as defined in the Indenture) and may issue additional shares of common stock upon conversion of Convertible Notes to the extent the number of shares issuable upon such conversion would exceed the number of shares of common stock issuable at the otherwise then-current conversion price.

The following changes to the terms of the Convertible Notes and Indenture, and to the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, became effective based on approvals of matters by our stockholders at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 8, 2022 (constituting “Shareholder Approval” as defined in the Indenture): (a) the Convertible Notes initial PIK interest rate of SOFR plus 14.0% decreased to SOFR plus 9.5% as of September 30, 2022; (b) our initial option to pay interest in additional PIK notes for a period of 18 months was increased to 48 months (the entire term of the Convertible Notes); (c) the effective conversion price of $5.07 per share (197.23866 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes) was decreased to $4.51 per share (221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes); (d) the issuance by us of up to $7.5 million of additional Convertible Notes, if and when issued by us; and (e) the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon conversion of Convertible Notes in connection with a Qualified Merger Conversion (as defined in the Indenture) to the extent the number of shares issuable upon such conversion would exceed the number of shares of common stock issuable at the otherwise then-current conversion price.

16

Each noteholder has a right to convert our Convertible Notes for shares of ICD common stock at any time after issuance through maturity. The conversion price is $4.51 per share. Interest on the Convertible Notes is due on March 31 and September 30 each year, beginning on September 30, 2022. Under the Indenture, a holder is not entitled to receive shares of our common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes to the extent to which the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be acquired by such beneficial owner upon conversion of Convertible Notes, when added to the aggregate number of shares of common stock deemed beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such beneficial owner and each person subject to aggregation of Common Stock with such beneficial owner under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder at such time (an “Aggregated Person”) (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on such beneficial owner’s or such person’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to this limitation), as determined pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, would exceed 9.9% (the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”) of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Section 16 Conversion Blocker”); provided that any holder has the right to elect for the Restricted Ownership Percentage to be 19.9% with respect to such Holder, (x) at any time, in which case, such election will become effective sixty-one days following written notice thereof to us or (y) in the case of a holder acquiring Convertible Notes on the Issue Date, in such Holder’s Subscription Agreement. In lieu of any shares of common stock not delivered to a converting holder by operation of the Restricted Ownership Percentage limitation, we will deliver to such Holder Pre-Funded Warrants in respect of any equal number of shares of common stock. Such Pre-Funded Warrants will contain substantially similar Restricted Ownership Percentage terms.

The Indenture includes a mandatory redemption offer requirement (the “Mandatory Offer Requirement”). Beginning June 30, 2023, we are obligated to offer to redeem $5.0 million of Convertible Notes on a quarterly basis through December 31, 2023, and $3.5 million of Convertible Notes on a quarterly basis through March 31, 2025. The mandatory offer price is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note. The Indenture also includes an optional redemption right (the “Company Redemption Right”) that permits us to redeem on one or more occasions during the period beginning September 19, 2022 and ending September 19, 2023, up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of notes at redemption price of 108% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Mandatory Offer Requirement is reduced by the amount of any Convertible Notes repurchased pursuant to our Redemption Right. We have the ability and intent to refinance the mandatory redemption offers that occur within the next twelve months under our Revolving ABL Credit Facility and as a result such amounts have been classified as long-term debt.

The Indenture contains financial covenants, including a liquidity covenant of $10.0 million beginning September 30, 2022; a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.00 to 1.00 that is tested when availability under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility (defined below) is below $5.0 million at any time that the Convertible Notes are outstanding; and capital expenditure limits of $25.0 million during 2022 and $15.0 million during 2023 and 2024, subject to adjustment upward by $500,000 per year for each rig above 17 that operates during each year. In addition, capital expenditures are excluded from this covenant (a) if funded from equity proceeds, (b) if relating to the reactivation of a rig so long as (i) we have a signed contract with a customer with respect to each such rig of at least one (1) year duration providing for early termination payments consistent with past practice equal to at least the expected margin on the contract, (ii) the expected margin on such rig contract will be equal to or exceed such reactivation capital expenditures, and (iii) the reactivation capital expenditures, rig contract and the expected margin calculation are approved by our board of directors or (c) if relating to other capital expenditures specifically approved by written or electronic consent by both (i) the required holders (which approval may, for the avoidance of doubt, be provided by the required holders in their sole discretion for an amount of capital expenditures to be committed or made by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company within ninety (90) days after the date of such consent) and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company. During 2022, the holders of our Convertible Notes consented to capital expenditure adjustments under this covenant aggregating $10.6 million and consented to $16.9 million of capital expenditures in February 2023. The Indenture also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, restricted payments (including the payment of dividends), investments and transactions with affiliates. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, including breaches of material covenants, defaults under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility or other material agreements for indebtedness, and a change of control. Beginning 18 months prior to maturity, we may elect to suspend the Convertible Debt covenant requirements by depositing cash and short-term treasuries with the Trustee in an amount equal to all amounts due to the noteholders including principal, premium (if any) and interest. We are in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2023.

17

Upon a Qualified Merger (defined below), we may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the Convertible Notes at a Conversion Rate equal to our Conversion Rate on the date on which the relevant “Qualified Merger” is consummated (a “Qualified Merger Conversion”), so long as the “MOIC Condition” is satisfied with respect to such potential Qualified Merger Conversion. A “Qualified Merger” means a Common Stock Change Event consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange of the Company with a Qualified Acquirer. A “Qualified Merger Conversion Date” means the date on which the relevant Qualified Merger is consummated. A “Qualified Acquirer” means any entity that (i) has its common equity listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Toronto Stock Exchange, (ii) has an aggregate equity market capitalization of at least $350 million, and (iii) has a “public float” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933) of at least $250 million in each case, as determined by the calculation agent based on the last reported sale price of such common equity on date of the signing of the definitive agreement in respect of the relevant Common Stock Change Event. A “Common Stock Change Event” means the occurrence of any: (i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of our common stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the common stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities); (ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving us; (iii) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of ours and our Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person; or (iv) other similar event, and, as a result of which, the common stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing. A “Company Conversion Rate” means, in respect of any Qualified Merger, the greater of (a) the relevant Conversion Rate, (b) $1,000 divided by our Conversion VWAP, and (c) the lowest rate that would cause the MOIC Condition to be satisfied with respect to the related Qualified Merger Conversion. A “Company Conversion VWAP” means, in respect of any Qualified Merger, the average of daily VWAP over the five (5) VWAP Trading Days prior to the earlier of signing or public announcement (by any party, and whether formal or informal, including for the avoidance of doubt any media reports thereof) of a definitive agreement in respect of such Qualified Merger as calculated by the Calculation Agent. The “MOIC Condition” means, with respect to any potential Qualified Merger Conversion, MOIC is greater than or equal to the MOIC Required Level. The “MOIC Required Level” means $1,350. “MOIC” means, with respect to any potential Qualified Merger Conversion, an amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to the aggregate return on a hypothetical Note with $1,000 face amount, issued on the Issue Date, from the Issue Date through the potential Qualified Merger Conversion Date, including (x) the aggregate amount of any cash interest paid on such hypothetical Note from the Issue Date through the potential Qualified Merger Conversion Date, (y) the aggregate fair market value of any Conversion Consideration that would be received by the Holder of such hypothetical Note on the relevant Qualified Merger Conversion Date and (z) the aggregate fair market value of any Conversion Consideration that would be received on the relevant Qualified Merger Conversion Date by the Holder of any PIK Notes issued in respect of (or the relevant increase in value of) such hypothetical Note.

We early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 and concluded the Convertible Notes are accounted for as debt, with embedded features. As a consequence of the embedded features, the Convertible Notes gave rise to an embedded derivative liability. See Embedded Derivative Liability. The debt terms of the Convertible Notes, of which affiliates of our prior Term Loan Facility are 50.1% noteholders, were determined to be substantially different terms from the Term Loan Facility and therefore required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the Term Loan Facility.  Accordingly, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $46.3 million. This was a non-cash expense primarily associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs, non-cash fees settled in shares to the affiliates of our prior Term Loan Facility and the fair value of the embedded derivatives. We recorded an embedded derivative liability of $75.7 million at the time of the issuance and a debt discount of $37.8 million. Issuance costs consisting of cash fees of $7.4 million and a non-cash structuring fee settled in shares of $2.3 million along with the debt discount were recorded as a direct deduction from the Convertible Notes in the consolidated balance sheet. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate for the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2023 is 22.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the contractual interest expense was $5.9 million; the amortization of the debt discount was $1.8 million; and the amortization of the issuance costs was $0.6 million.

Embedded Derivative Liability

The Convertible Notes contained the following embedded features upon issuance: (i) an increase of the noteholder’s optional conversion rate for the Convertible Notes from 197.23866 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes ($5.07 per share) to 221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal

18

amount of Convertible Notes ($4.51 per share) following the receipt of the Shareholder Approval, (ii) a decrease in the PIK interest rate from SOFR plus 14.0% to SOFR plus 9.5% following receipt of the Shareholder Approval, (iii) a conversion feature associated with the MOIC condition in the event of a Qualified Merger and (iv) a contingent interest feature as a result of violations of credit-risk related covenants. We evaluated these embedded features under the guidance of ASC 815 and determined that they required bifurcation at fair value. However, management determined the probability of a Qualified Merger to be remote and as such the fair value of the embedded conversion feature has been estimated to be zero. Management also evaluated the contingent interest feature and determined the likelihood of payment to be remote. Accordingly, the fair value of the contingent interest feature was also estimated to be zero. Lastly, management evaluated the conversion rate feature and the decrease in PIK interest feature and determined that these embedded features met all three criteria in ASC 815-15-25-1 and therefore required bifurcation. Accordingly, as of the Convertible Notes issuance date, we recorded an embedded derivative liability representing the increase in the conversion rate feature and the decrease in PIK interest feature. The embedded derivative liability was presented as a non-current liability in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and was adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end with changes in fair value recorded in the “Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability” financial statement line item of our consolidated statements of operations.

After the approval of our stockholders on June 8, 2022, certain features under our Convertible Notes were modified and no longer met the criteria to bifurcate from the debt host agreement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no embedded derivative liability recorded. See Note 5 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value” for additional information.

Revolving ABL Credit Facility

On October 1, 2018, we entered into a $40.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving ABL Credit Facility”), including availability for letters of credit in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $7.5 million. Availability under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated based on 85% of the net amount of our eligible accounts receivable, minus reserves. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2025.

Interest under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility is determined by reference, at our option, to either (i) a “base rate” equal to the higher of (a) the floor, or 0.0%, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.05%, (c) term SOFR for a one month tenor plus 1.0% based on availability and (d) the prime rate of Wells Fargo, plus in each case, an applicable base rate margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on quarterly availability, or (ii) a revolving loan rate equal to SOFR for the applicable interest period plus an applicable SOFR margin ranging from 2.36% to 2.86% based on quarterly availability. We also pay, on a quarterly basis, a commitment fee of 0.375% (or 0.25% at any time when revolver usage is greater than 50% of the maximum credit) per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility commitment.

The Revolving ABL Credit Facility contains a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.00 to 1.00 that is tested when availability is less than 10% of the maximum credit. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, restricted payments (including the payment of dividends), investments and transactions with affiliates. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default, including breaches of material covenants, defaults under the Indenture or other material agreements for indebtedness, and a change of control. We are in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 31, 2023.

The obligations under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on Priority Collateral, which includes all accounts receivable and deposit accounts, and a second priority lien on the Indenture, and are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate on our borrowings was 14.02%. At March 31, 2023, the borrowing base under our Revolving ABL Credit Facility was $34.2 million, and we had $15.4 million of availability remaining of our $40.0 million commitment on that date.

9.Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to June 2019, we issued common stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors under our 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan adopted in March 2012 (the “2012 Plan”). In June 2019, we adopted the 2019 Omnibus

Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) providing for common stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors. The 2019 Plan permits the granting of various types of awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and up to 4.6 million shares were authorized for issuance. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted for no consideration other than prior and future services. The purchase price per share for stock options and SARs may not be less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 865,514 shares were available for future awards under the 2019 Plan. In connection with the adoption of the 2019 Plan, no further awards will be made under the 2012 Plan. Our policy is to account for forfeitures of share-based compensation awards as they occur.

Time-based Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

We have granted time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units to key employees under the 2012 Plan and 2019 Plan.

Time-based Restricted Stock

Time-based restricted stock awards consist of grants of our common stock that vest over five years. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the estimated fair market value of our shares on the grant date. As of March 31, 2023, there was $0.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.4 years.

Time-based Restricted Stock Units

We have granted one to three-year, time-vested restricted stock unit awards where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a vesting period, one share of ICD common stock. The fair value of time-based restricted stock unit awards is determined based on the estimated fair market value of our shares on the grant date. As of March 31, 2023, there was $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested time-based restricted stock unit awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

Performance-Based and Market-Based Restricted Stock Units

In the first quarter of 2020, we granted three-year market-based restricted stock unit awards, where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a vesting period, up to two shares of ICD common stock with no exercise price. Exercisability of the market-based restricted stock unit awards is based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) as measured against the TSR of a defined peer group over a three-year period. We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the TSR market-based restricted stock unit awards. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock unit awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. In the first quarter of 2023, 6,442 shares were vested and issued under these awards. The remaining shares were unearned and forfeited. There are no further vestings under this grant.

In the first quarter of 2023, we granted 299,411 three-year performance-based restricted stock unit awards with a market condition. Based on target shares of 173,570, a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 150% of the units could be awarded based upon the measurement of free cash flow (“FCF”) as measured against FCF performance goals determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, during the three-year performance period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 and vest fully on December 31, 2025 subject to continued employment. The payout of the awards will be further adjusted by a TSR multiplier that may adjust the payout between 85% and 115% based upon our relative total shareholder return for the three-year period ending on third anniversary of the date of grant compared to the relative total shareholder return of an eight-company peer group of oilfield service companies for the same period. As these awards are performance-based with a market condition, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine grant date fair value per share.

During the restriction period, the performance-based and market-based restricted stock unit awards may not be transferred or encumbered, and the recipient does not receive dividend equivalents or have voting rights until the units vest. As of March 31, 2023, there was $0.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance-based and market-based restricted stock unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

The assumptions used to value our TSR market-based restricted stock unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 were a risk-free interest rate of 1.38%, an expected volatility of 68.5% and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, these restricted stock unit awards were valued at $12.42.

The assumptions used to value our FCF restricted stock unit awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were a risk-free interest rate of 4.15%, an expected volatility of 135.3% and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, these restricted stock unit awards were valued at $4.47.

Phantom Units

In the first quarter of 2023, we granted 149,709 three-year performance-based phantom units with a market condition. Based on target shares of 86,789, a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 150% of the units could be awarded based upon the measurement of free cash flow (“FCF”) as measured against FCF performance goals determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, during the three-year performance period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 and vest fully on December 31, 2025 subject to continued employment. The payout of the awards will be further adjusted by a TSR multiplier that may adjust the payout between 85% and 115% based upon our relative total shareholder return for the three-year period ending on third anniversary of the date of grant compared to the relative total shareholder return of an eight-company peer group of oilfield service companies for the same period. The phantom units are cash-settled awards and are accounted for as a liability classified award. The grant date fair value of the phantom units was $0.3 million. Compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period, with the amount recognized fluctuating as a result of the phantom units being remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period due to their liability-award classification. We recognized $13.0 thousand of compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, we granted 94,708 three-year time-vested phantom unit awards where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a vesting period, one share of ICD common stock. The phantom units are cash-settled awards and are accounted for as a liability classified award. The grant date fair value of the phantom units was $0.4 million. Compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period, with the amount recognized fluctuating as a result of the phantom units being remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period due to their liability-award classification. We recognized $14.0 thousand of compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, we granted 41,665 one-year time-vested phantom unit awards where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a vesting period, one share of ICD common stock. The phantom units are cash-settled awards and are accounted for as a liability classified award. The grant date fair value of the phantom units was $0.2 million. Compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period, with the amount recognized fluctuating as a result of the phantom units being remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period due to their liability-award classification. We recognized $19.0 thousand of compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Time-Based Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

In the second quarter of 2022, we granted time-based, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to certain employees. The SARs have a term of seven years, an exercise price of $5.19 per share, and vest one-third on March 18, 2023 and in equal quarterly increments thereafter, until fully vested on March 18, 2025. Because these SARs are stock-settled, they are classified as an “equity award” which are measured at their fair value at the grant date and are fixed and not revalued unless the award is modified.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of time-based stock-settled SARs as of the grant date were a risk-free interest rate of 3.03%, an expected volatility factor of 103.3% and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $2.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to time-based stock-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Time-Based Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

In the first quarter of 2021, we granted time-based, cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to certain employees. The SARs have a term of seven years, an exercise price of $5.73 per share, with the market price upon exercise capped at $10.00 per share, and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Because these SARs are cash-settled, they are classified as “liability-classified awards” which are remeasured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement.

Time-based, cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of our common stock over the exercise price is paid in cash and not in common stock.

The fair value of time-based cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on period-end stock price. Expected term of the SARs is calculated as the average of each vesting tranche’s midpoint between vesting date and expiration date plus the vesting period. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the reporting date for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of time-based cash-settled SARs using the Monte Carlo simulation model:

10.Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings (Loss) per Share

As of March 31, 2023, we had a total of 14,062,394 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, outstanding. We also had 85,092 shares held as treasury stock. Total authorized common stock is 250,000,000 shares.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including potential dilutive securities. When the Convertible Notes are dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net income to calculate diluted EPS. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted losses per share computations is as follows:

11.Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, the impact of U.S. state and local taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other differences related to the recognition of income and expense between GAAP and tax accounting.

Our effective tax rate was (20.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the statutory

24

federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, state taxes, and permanent items related to certain debt items. Our effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as well as permanent differences related to the certain debt items that are expensed for book purposes but are not deductible for tax purposes. The impact of the permanent items related to the debt continues into 2023 but has less of an impact as a significant loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded in 2022.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and when necessary, valuation allowances are recorded. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly and consider carryback availability, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In the first quarter of 2023, the effective tax rate takes into consideration the estimated valuation allowance based on forecasted 2023 income.

We continue to monitor income tax developments in the United States. We will incorporate into our future financial statements the impacts, if any, of future regulations and additional authoritative guidance when finalized.

12.Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding purchase commitments to a number of suppliers totaling $5.1 million related primarily to the operation of drilling rigs. All of these commitments relate to equipment and services currently scheduled for delivery in 2023.

Contingencies

We may be the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. Management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and claims. While lawsuits and claims are asserted for amounts that may be material should an unfavorable outcome be the result, management does not currently expect that the outcome of any of these known legal proceedings or claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

13.Defined Contribution Plan

Substantially all employees may elect to participate in our 401(k) plan by contributing a portion of their earnings. We contribute an amount equal to 100 percent of the first six percent of the participant’s compensation subject to certain limitations. The expense incurred for this defined contribution plan was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

14.Related Parties

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes on March 18, 2022, we issued to affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P. (the “MSD Investors”) $78.9 million principal amount of Convertible Notes and entered into an Investor’s Rights Agreement permitting MSD Partners to nominate one director to our Board so long as MSD Partners and its affiliates continue to own $25.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes (the “Sunset Date”). We also entered into an Investor’s Rights Agreement with Glendon Capital Management L.P. (“GCM”) that permits GCM to designate one director on the same terms. In addition, as long as each of such parties continues to have the right to appoint such holder representatives, the two holder representatives will have the right to nominate one additional representative as a director, provided that the third representative must be an independent director unless one of the MSD Partners and the GCM representatives is independent for New York Stock Exchange purposes. The proposed representatives are subject to review by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Following the Sunset Date for the applicable party, MSD Partners and/or GCM, as applicable, will cause its designee to offer to tender his or her resignation, unless otherwise requested by the Board, and the third representative may be removed by the Board. Two holders representatives of the MSD Investors and GCM were initially nominated and appointed to the Board pursuant to the Investor’s Rights Agreement, and the third representative was appointed in connection with an increase in the number of directors from six to seven members effective July 1, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described in the section titled Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and those set forth under Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” or in other parts of the Form 10-K.

Management Overview

We were incorporated in Delaware on November 4, 2011. We provide land-based contract drilling services for oil and natural gas producers targeting unconventional resource plays in the United States. We own and operate a premium fleet comprised of modern, technologically advanced drilling rigs. Our first rig began drilling in May 2012. On October 1, 2018, we completed a merger with Sidewinder Drilling LLC (“Sidewinder”). As a result of this merger, we more than doubled our operating fleet and personnel.

As of March 31, 2023, our rig fleet includes 26 marketed AC powered (“AC”) rigs, plus additional idle AC rigs that require significant upgrades in order to meet our AC pad-optimal specifications that we do not plan to market absent a material improvement in market conditions.

We currently focus our operations on unconventional resource plays located in geographic regions that we can efficiently support from our Houston, Texas and Midland, Texas facilities in order to maximize economies of scale. Currently, our rigs are operating in the Permian Basin and the Haynesville Shale; however, our rigs have previously operated in the Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent and Eaglebine regions as well.

Our business depends on the level of exploration and production activity by oil and natural gas companies operating in the United States, and in particular, the regions where we actively market our contract drilling services. The oil and natural gas exploration and production industry is historically cyclical and characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and natural gas prices and market expectations of potential changes in those prices significantly affect the levels of those activities. Worldwide political, regulatory, economic, and military events, as well as natural disasters have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility historically, and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of exploration and development activities in the United States and the regions where we market our contract drilling services, whether resulting from changes in oil and natural gas prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our business.

Significant Developments

Market Conditions

Oil and natural gas prices were negatively impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and significantly decreased the demand for drilling services in 2020 and early 2021. However, business conditions have begun to improve rapidly which has led to improved dayrates and margins for contract drilling services. In addition, the supply for pad-optimal, super-spec rigs is finite with limited spare capacity that can be reactivated without significant cost and expense.

Oil prices (WTI-Cushing) reached a high of $123.64 per barrel on March 8, 2022; however, prices have fallen since those highs. As of May 1, 2023, oil was $75.65 per barrel.

Recently, natural gas prices have fallen dramatically. Natural gas prices (Henry Hub) reached a high of $9.85 per mmcf on August 22, 2022, but fell to $3.52 per mmcf as of December 31, 2022 and is $2.24 per mmcf as of May 1, 2023. These commodity price declines, as well as take away capacity issues, have caused market conditions in the Haynesville Shale to weaken rapidly, which we believe will result in a reduction in the number of drilling rigs operating in the Haynesville Shale, including a reduction in our operating rigs. We intend to relocate these rigs to the Permian Basin where market conditions remain strong and where we believe we can recontract these rigs on attractive terms, with two relocations and recontractings already occurring as of May 8, 2023. However, there can be no assurance that market

26

conditions in the Permian Basin will remain strong and will not be adversely affected by recent volatility in oil prices nor any assurance that we will be successful in marketing all of these rigs in the Permian Basin or that they will be contracted on a timely basis or upon terms that are acceptable to us.

Our Revenues

We earn contract drilling revenues pursuant to drilling contracts entered into with our customers. We perform drilling services on a “daywork” basis, under which we charge a specified rate per day, or “dayrate.” The dayrate associated with each of our contracts is a negotiated price determined by the capabilities of the rig, location, depth and complexity of the wells to be drilled, operating conditions, duration of the contract and market conditions. The term of land drilling contracts may be for a defined number of wells or for a fixed time period. We generally receive lump-sum payments for the mobilization of rigs and other drilling equipment at the commencement of a new drilling contract. Revenue and costs associated with the initial mobilization are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the related drilling contract once the rig spuds. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other equipment to an area in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred. If a contract is terminated prior to the specified contract term, early termination payments received from the customer are only recognized as revenues when all contractual obligations, such as mitigation requirements, are satisfied. While under contract, our rigs generally earn a reduced rate while the rig is moving between wells or drilling locations, or on standby waiting for the customer. Reimbursements for the purchase of supplies, equipment, trucking and other services that are provided at the request of our customers are recorded as revenue when incurred. The related costs are recorded as operating expenses when incurred. Revenue is presented net of any sales tax charged to the customer that we are required to remit to local or state governmental taxing authorities.

Our Operating Costs

Our operating costs include all expenses associated with operating and maintaining our drilling rigs. Operating costs include all “rig level” expenses such as labor and related payroll costs, repair and maintenance expenses, supplies, workers’ compensation and other insurance, ad valorem taxes and equipment rental costs. Also included in our operating costs are certain costs that are not incurred at the “rig level.” These costs include expenses directly associated with our operations management team as well as our safety and maintenance personnel who are not directly assigned to our rigs but are responsible for the oversight and support of our operations and safety and maintenance programs across our fleet.

How We Evaluate our Operations

We regularly use a number of financial and operational measures to analyze and evaluate the performance of our business and compensate our employees, including the following:

Safety Performance. Maintaining a strong safety record is a critical component of our business strategy. We measure safety by tracking the total recordable incident rate for our operations. In addition, we closely monitor and measure compliance with our safety policies and procedures, including “near miss” reports and job safety analysis compliance. We believe our Risk-Based HSE management system provides the required control, yet needed flexibility, to conduct all activities safely, efficiently and appropriately.
Utilization. Rig utilization measures the percentage of time that our rigs are earning revenue under a contract during a particular period. We measure utilization by dividing the total number of Operating Days (defined below) for a rig by the total number of days the rig is available for operation in the applicable calendar period. A rig is available for operation commencing on the earlier of the date it spuds its initial well following construction or when it has been completed and is actively marketed. “Operating Days” represent the total number of days a rig is earning revenue under a contract, beginning when the rig spuds its initial well under the contract and ending with the completion of the rig’s demobilization.
Revenue Per Day. Revenue per day measures the amount of revenue that an operating rig earns on a daily basis during a particular period. We calculate revenue per day by dividing total contract drilling revenue earned during the applicable period by the number of Operating Days in the period. Revenues attributable to costs reimbursed by customers are excluded from this measure.
Operating Cost Per Day. Operating cost per day measures the operating costs incurred on a daily basis during a particular period. We calculate operating cost per day by dividing total operating costs during the applicable period by the number of Operating Days in the period. Operating costs attributable to costs reimbursed by

27

customers, reactivation and decommissioning of rigs, including transition costs between basins, and rig construction costs are excluded from this measure.
Operating Efficiency and Uptime. Maintaining our rigs’ operational efficiency is a critical component of our business strategy. We measure our operating efficiency by tracking each drilling rig’s unscheduled downtime on a daily, monthly, quarterly and annual basis.

(1)Marketed rigs exclude idle rigs that will not be reactivated unless market conditions materially improve.
(2)Rig operating days represent the number of days our rigs are earning revenue under a contract during the period, including days that standby revenues are earned.
(3)Average number of operating rigs is calculated by dividing the total number of rig operating days in the period by the total number of calendar days in the period.
(4)Rig utilization is calculated as rig operating days divided by the total number of days our drilling rigs are available during the applicable period.
(5)Average revenue per operating day represents total contract drilling revenues earned during the period divided by rig operating days in the period. Excluded in calculating average revenue per operating day are revenues associated with the reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs paid by customers of $3.0 million and $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(6)Average cost per operating day represents operating costs incurred during the period divided by rig operating days in the period. The following costs are excluded in calculating average cost per operating day: (i) out-of-pocket costs paid by customers of $3.0 million and $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively; (ii) overhead costs of $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively; and (iii) rig decommissioning and transition costs between basins of $0.6 million and zero during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $63.8 million, representing a 82.2% increase as compared to revenues of $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in contractual dayrates driven by improving demand for our contract drilling services and an increase in operating days resulting from the reactivation of rigs in 2022 (such increase in days noted below). Revenue per day increased by 59.8% to $34,870 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to revenue per day of $21,823 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Operating Costs

Operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $37.5 million, representing a 37.9% increase as compared to operating costs of $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating days to 1,744 days for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 1,463 days in the prior year comparable period as well as higher per day operating expenses. We also incurred approximately $0.6 million in costs associated with transitioning rigs from the Haynesville to the Permian Basin during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Operating costs per day increased to $19,205 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing a 19.5% increase compared to cost per operating day of $16,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in cost per operating day was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs driven by a much tighter labor market compared to the prior year period and inflationary pressures.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $6.7 million, representing a 28.7% increase as compared to selling, general and administrative expense of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the prior year comparable period primarily relates to higher stock-based compensation expense associated primarily with awards granted in the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 and higher professional fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $10.9 million, representing a 11.3% increase compared to depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of asset additions related to reactivated rigs in 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the current period primarily relates to higher interest rates and principal debt associated with the Convertible Notes issued on March 18, 2022, as well as non-cash amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with the Convertible Notes. Approximately $2.4 million of non-cash amortization was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.4 million of non-cash amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The debt terms of the Convertible Notes, of which affiliates of our prior Term Loan Facility are 50.1% noteholders, were determined to be substantially different terms from the Term Loan Facility and therefore required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the Term Loan Facility.  Accordingly, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $46.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This was a non-cash expense primarily associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs, non-cash fees settled in shares to the affiliates of our prior Term Loan facility and the fair value of the embedded derivatives attributable to the affiliates of our prior Term loan facility.

30

Change in Fair Value of Embedded Derivative Liability

We recognized a loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability between the issuance date of the Convertible Notes, March 18, 2022, and March 31, 2022. See “Embedded Derivative Liability” in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Income Tax Benefit

Our effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, the impact of U.S. state and local taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other differences related to the recognition of income and expense between GAAP and tax accounting.

Income tax expense benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $2.0 thousand as compared to income tax benefit of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were (20.0)% and 1.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, state taxes, and permanent items related to certain debt items. Our effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as well as permanent differences related to the certain debt items that are expensed for book purposes but are not deductible for tax purposes. The impact of the permanent items related to the debt continues into 2023 but has less of an impact as a significant loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded in 2022.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and when necessary, valuation allowances are recorded. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly and consider carryback availability, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In the first quarter of 2023, the effective tax rate takes into consideration the estimated valuation allowance based on forecasted 2023 income.

We continue to monitor income tax developments in the United States. We will incorporate into our future financial statements the impacts, if any, of future regulations and additional authoritative guidance when finalized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity at March 31, 2023 was $22.1 million, consisting of cash on hand of $6.7 million and $15.4 million of availability under our $40.0 million Revolving ABL Credit Facility, based on a borrowing base of $34.2 million.

During the first quarter of 2023, cash flow from operations was positive. On March 31, 2023, we paid in-kind the $11.6 million interest payment due under our Convertible Notes.

We expect our future capital and liquidity needs to be related to operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures, and working capital and general corporate purposes.

We currently believe that the actions we have taken to date and our existing sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months and periods subsequent to such.

Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows are similar to those that impact net earnings, with the exception of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains or losses on disposals of assets, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation, deferred taxes, and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount. Additionally, changes in working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expense and accounts payable can significantly affect operating cash flows. Cash flows from operating activities during the first

31

three months of 2023 were higher as a result of a decrease in net loss of $58.8 million, adjusted for non-cash items, of $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $61.3 million for non-cash items for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which included $46.3 million of non-cash extinguishment of debt. Working capital changes decreased cash flows from operating activities by $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and decreased cash flows from operating activities by $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the first three months of 2023, cash payments of $18.8 million for capital expenditures were offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.7 million. During the 2022 period, cash payments of $6.3 million for capital expenditures were offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.6 million.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the first three months of 2023, we received proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $11.3 million. These proceeds were offset by repayments under our revolving credit facility of $4.3 million, restricted stock units withheld for taxes paid of $0.4 million and payments for finance lease obligations of $0.7 million. During the first three months of 2022, we received proceeds from borrowings under our new Convertible Notes of $157.5 million, proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $1.5 million, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our ATM transaction, net of issuance costs of $3.4 million. These proceeds were offset by repayment of our term loan of $139.1 million, payment of our merger consideration of $2.9 million, issuance costs paid related to our Convertible Notes of $6.6 million, repayments under our revolving credit facility of $2.0 thousand, restricted stock units withheld for taxes paid of $32.0 thousand and payments for finance lease obligations of $1.2 million.

Long-term Debt

On March 18, 2022, we entered into a subscription agreement with affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P. and an affiliate of Glendon Capital Management L.P. (the “Subscription Agreement”) for the placement of $157.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible secured PIK toggle notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”), and currently have $181.8 million of Convertible Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2022 (the “Indenture”). The obligations under the Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority lien on collateral other than accounts receivable, deposit accounts and other related collateral pledged as first priority collateral (“Priority Collateral”) under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility (defined below). Proceeds from the private placement of the Convertible Notes were used to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness under our term loan credit agreement, to repay obligations to prior equity holders of Sidewinder Drilling LLC, and for working capital purposes. In connection with the placement of the Convertible Notes, we issued 2,268,000 shares of our common stock as a structuring fee. The structuring fee shares were issued on March 18, 2022, concurrent with the closing of the private placement of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes mature on March 18, 2026.

The Convertible Notes have a cash interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread, with a floor of 1% (collectively, “SOFR”) plus 12.5%. The Convertible Notes have a payment in-kind, or “PIK,” interest rate of SOFR plus 9.5%. We have the right, at our option, to PIK interest under the Convertible Notes for the entire term of the Convertible Notes. We elected to PIK outstanding interest as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, resulting in the issuance of additional $12.7 million and $11.6 million principal amount of Convertible Notes, respectively.

The effective conversion price of the Convertible Notes is $4.51 per share (221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes). We may issue up to $7.5 million of additional Convertible Notes. We may convert all Convertible Notes (including PIK notes) in connection with a Qualified Merger Conversion (as defined in the Indenture) and may issue additional shares of common stock upon conversion of Convertible Notes to the extent the number of shares issuable upon such conversion would exceed the number of shares of common stock issuable at the otherwise then-current conversion price.

32

The following changes to the terms of the Convertible Notes and Indenture, and to the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, became effective based on approvals of matters by our stockholders at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 8, 2022 (constituting “Shareholder Approval” as defined in the Indenture): (a) the Convertible Notes initial PIK interest rate of SOFR plus 14.0% decreased to SOFR plus 9.5% as of September 30, 2022; (b) our initial option to pay interest in additional PIK notes for a period of 18 months was increased to 48 months (the entire term of the Convertible Notes); (c) the effective conversion price of $5.07 per share (197.23866 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes) was decreased to $4.51 per share (221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes); (d) the issuance by us of up to $7.5 million of additional Convertible Notes, if and when issued by us; and (e) the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon conversion of Convertible Notes in connection with a Qualified Merger Conversion (as defined in the Indenture) to the extent the number of shares issuable upon such conversion would exceed the number of shares of common stock issuable at the otherwise then-current conversion price.

Each noteholder has a right to convert our Convertible Notes for shares of ICD Common Stock at any time after issuance through maturity. The conversion price is $4.51 per share. Interest on the Convertible Notes is due on March 31 and September 30 each year, beginning on September 30, 2022. Under the Indenture, a holder is not entitled to receive shares of our common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes to the extent to which the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be acquired by such beneficial owner upon conversion of Convertible Notes, when added to the aggregate number of shares of common stock deemed beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such beneficial owner and each person subject to aggregation of common stock with such beneficial owner under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder at such time (an “Aggregated Person”) (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on such beneficial owner’s or such person’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to this limitation), as determined pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, would exceed 9.9% (the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”) of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Section 16 Conversion Blocker”); provided that any holder has the right to elect for the Restricted Ownership Percentage to be 19.9% with respect to such Holder, (x) at any time, in which case, such election will become effective sixty-one days following written notice thereof to us or (y) in the case of a holder acquiring Convertible Notes on the Issue Date, in such Holder’s Subscription Agreement. In lieu of any shares of common stock not delivered to a converting holder by operation of the Restricted Ownership Percentage limitation, we will deliver to such Holder Pre-Funded Warrants in respect of any equal number of shares of common stock. Such Pre-Funded Warrants will contain substantially similar Restricted Ownership Percentage terms.

The Indenture includes a mandatory redemption offer requirement (the “Mandatory Offer Requirement”). Beginning June 30, 2023, we are obligated to offer to redeem $5.0 million of Convertible Notes on a quarterly basis through December 31, 2023, and $3.5 million of Convertible Notes on a quarterly basis through March 31, 2025. The mandatory offer price is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note. The Indenture also includes an optional redemption right (the “Company Redemption Right”) that permits us to redeem on one or more occasions during the period beginning September 19, 2022 and ending September 19, 2023, up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of notes at redemption price of 108% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Mandatory Offer Requirement is reduced by the amount of any Convertible Notes repurchased pursuant to our Redemption Right. We have the ability and intent to refinance the mandatory redemption offers that occur within the next twelve months under our Revolving ABL Credit Facility and as a result such amounts have been classified as long-term debt.

The Indenture contains financial covenants, including a liquidity covenant of $10.0 million beginning September 30, 2022; a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.00 to 1.00 that is tested when availability under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility (defined below) is below $5.0 million at any time that the Convertible Notes are outstanding; and capital expenditure limits of $25.0 million during 2022 and $15.0 million during 2023 and 2024, subject to adjustment upward by $500,000 per year for each rig above 17 that operates during each year. In addition, capital expenditures are excluded from this covenant (a) if funded from equity proceeds, (b) if relating to the reactivation of a rig so long as (i) we have a signed contract with a customer with respect to each such rig of at least one (1) year duration providing for early termination payments consistent with past practice equal to at least the expected margin on the contract, (ii) the expected margin on such rig contract will be equal to or exceed such reactivation capital expenditures, and (iii) the reactivation capital expenditures, rig contract and the expected margin calculation are approved by our board of directors or (c) if relating to other capital expenditures specifically approved by written or electronic consent by both (i) the required holders (which approval may, for the avoidance of doubt, be provided by the

33

required holders in their sole discretion for an amount of capital expenditures to be committed or made by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company within ninety (90) days after the date of such consent) and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company. During 2022, the holders of our Convertible Notes consented to capital expenditure adjustments under this covenant aggregating $10.6 million and consented to $16.9 million of capital expenditures in February 2023. The Indenture also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, restricted payments (including the payment of dividends), investments and transactions with affiliates. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, including breaches of material covenants, defaults under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility or other material agreements for indebtedness, and a change of control. Beginning 18 months prior to maturity, we may elect to suspend the Convertible Debt covenant requirements by depositing cash and short-term treasuries with the Trustee in an amount equal to all amounts due to the noteholders including principal, premium (if any) and interest. We are in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2023.

Upon a Qualified Merger (defined below), we may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the Convertible Notes at a Conversion Rate equal to our Conversion Rate on the date on which the relevant “Qualified Merger” is consummated (a “Qualified Merger Conversion”), so long as the “MOIC Condition” is satisfied with respect to such potential Qualified Merger Conversion. A “Qualified Merger” means a Common Stock Change Event consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange of the Company with a Qualified Acquirer. A “Qualified Merger Conversion Date” means the date on which the relevant Qualified Merger is consummated. A “Qualified Acquirer” means any entity that (i) has its common equity listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Toronto Stock Exchange, (ii) has an aggregate equity market capitalization of at least $350 million, and (iii) has a “public float” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933) of at least $250 million in each case, as determined by the calculation agent based on the last reported sale price of such common equity on date of the signing of the definitive agreement in respect of the relevant Common Stock Change Event. A “Common Stock Change Event” means the occurrence of any: (i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of our common stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the common stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities); (ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving us; (iii) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of ours and our Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person; or (iv) other similar event, and, as a result of which, the common stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing. A “Company Conversion Rate” means, in respect of any Qualified Merger, the greater of (a) the relevant Conversion Rate, (b) $1,000 divided by our Conversion VWAP, and (c) the lowest rate that would cause the MOIC Condition to be satisfied with respect to the related Qualified Merger Conversion. A “Company Conversion VWAP” means, in respect of any Qualified Merger, the average of daily VWAP over the five (5) VWAP Trading Days prior to the earlier of signing or public announcement (by any party, and whether formal or informal, including for the avoidance of doubt any media reports thereof) of a definitive agreement in respect of such Qualified Merger as calculated by the Calculation Agent. The “MOIC Condition” means, with respect to any potential Qualified Merger Conversion, MOIC is greater than or equal to the MOIC Required Level. The “MOIC Required Level” means $1,350. “MOIC” means, with respect to any potential Qualified Merger Conversion, an amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to the aggregate return on a hypothetical Note with $1,000 face amount, issued on the Issue Date, from the Issue Date through the potential Qualified Merger Conversion Date, including (x) the aggregate amount of any cash interest paid on such hypothetical Note from the Issue Date through the potential Qualified Merger Conversion Date, (y) the aggregate fair market value of any Conversion Consideration that would be received by the Holder of such hypothetical Note on the relevant Qualified Merger Conversion Date and (z) the aggregate fair market value of any Conversion Consideration that would be received on the relevant Qualified Merger Conversion Date by the Holder of any PIK Notes issued in respect of (or the relevant increase in value of) such hypothetical Note.

We early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 and concluded the Convertible Notes are accounted for as debt, with embedded features. As a consequence of the embedded features, the Convertible Notes gave rise to an embedded derivative liability. See Embedded Derivative Liability. The debt terms of the Convertible Notes, of which affiliates of our prior Term Loan Facility are 50.1% noteholders, were determined to be substantially different terms from the Term Loan Facility and therefore required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the Term Loan Facility. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $46.3 million. This was a non-cash expense primarily associated with the recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs, non-cash fees settled in shares to the affiliates of our prior Term Loan Facility and the fair value of the embedded derivatives. We recorded an embedded

34

derivative liability of $75.7 million at the time of the issuance and a debt discount of $37.8 million. Issuance costs consisting of cash fees of $7.4 million and a non-cash structuring fee settled in shares of $2.3 million along with the debt discount were recorded as a direct deduction from the Convertible Notes in the consolidated balance sheet. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate for the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2023 is 22.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the contractual interest expense was $5.9 million; the amortization of the debt discount was $1.8 million; and the amortization of the issuance costs was $0.6 million.

Embedded Derivative Liability

The Convertible Notes contained the following embedded features upon issuance: (i) an increase of the noteholder’s optional conversion rate for the Convertible Notes from 197.23866 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes ($5.07 per share) to 221.72949 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes ($4.51 per share) following the receipt of the Shareholder Approval, (ii) a decrease in the PIK interest rate from SOFR plus 14.0% to SOFR plus 9.5% following receipt of the Shareholder Approval, (iii) a conversion feature associated with the MOIC condition in the event of a Qualified Merger and (iv) a contingent interest feature as a result of violations of credit-risk related covenants. We evaluated these embedded features under the guidance of ASC 815 and determined that they required bifurcation at fair value. However, management determined the probability of a Qualified Merger to be remote and as such the fair value of the embedded conversion feature has been estimated to be zero. Management also evaluated the contingent interest feature and determined the likelihood of payment to be remote. Accordingly, the fair value of the contingent interest feature was also estimated to be zero. Lastly, management evaluated the conversion rate feature and the decrease in PIK interest feature and determined that these embedded features met all three criteria in ASC 815-15-25-1 and therefore required bifurcation. Accordingly, as of the Convertible Notes issuance date, we recorded an embedded derivative liability representing the increase in the conversion rate feature and the decrease in PIK interest feature. The embedded derivative liability was presented as a non-current liability in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and was adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end with changes in fair value recorded in the “Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability” financial statement line item of our consolidated statements of operations.

After the approval of our stockholders on June 8, 2022, certain features under our Convertible Notes were modified and no longer met the criteria to bifurcate from the debt host agreement. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2022, we recognized an additional loss of $2.4 million representing the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability for the period between March 31, 2022 and June 8, 2022. We recorded the extinguishment of the embedded derivative liability by reclassifying $69.2 million to stockholders’ equity, representing the fair value of the conversion rate feature of the embedded derivative liability on our balance sheet, as the conversion rate feature then met the criteria to be classified as equity during the second quarter of 2022. We recognized a gain on extinguishment of the embedded derivative liability of $10.8 million in our consolidated statement of operations associated with the PIK interest rate feature of the embedded derivative liability during the second quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no embedded derivative liability recorded. See Note 5 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value” in Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 for additional information.

Revolving ABL Credit Facility

On October 1, 2018, we entered into a $40.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving ABL Credit Facility”), including availability for letters of credit in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $7.5 million. Availability under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated based on 85% of the net amount of our eligible accounts receivable, minus reserves. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2025.

Interest under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility is determined by reference, at our option, to either (i) a “base rate” equal to the higher of (a) the floor, or 0.0%, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.05%, (c) term SOFR for a one month tenor plus 1.0% based on availability and (d) the prime rate of Wells Fargo, plus in each case, an applicable base rate margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on quarterly availability, or (ii) a revolving loan rate equal to SOFR for the applicable interest period plus an applicable SOFR margin ranging from 2.36% to 2.86% based on quarterly availability. We also pay, on a quarterly basis, a commitment fee of 0.375% (or 0.25% at any time when revolver usage is greater than 50% of the maximum credit) per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility commitment.

The Revolving ABL Credit Facility contains a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.00 to 1.00 that is tested when availability is less than 10% of the maximum credit. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, restricted payments (including the payment of dividends), investments and transactions with affiliates. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default, including breaches of material covenants, defaults under the Indenture or other material agreements for indebtedness, and a change of control. We are in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 31, 2023.

The obligations under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on Priority Collateral, which includes all accounts receivable and deposit accounts, and a second priority lien on the Indenture, and are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate on our borrowings was 14.02%. At March 31, 2023, the borrowing base under our Revolving ABL Credit Facility was $34.2 million, and we had $15.4 million of availability remaining of our $40.0 million commitment on that date.

Additionally, included in our long-term debt are finance leases. These leases generally have initial terms of 36 months and are paid monthly.

Other Matters

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are party to certain arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. These arrangements relate to non-cancelable operating leases and unconditional purchase obligations not fully reflected on our balance sheets (see Note 4 “Leases” and Note 12 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 “Interim Financial Information – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks including risks related to potential adverse changes in interest rates and commodity prices. We actively monitor exposure to market risk and continue to develop and utilize appropriate risk management techniques. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or to speculate on changes in commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk

Total long-term debt at March 31, 2023 included $200.6 million of floating-rate debt attributed to borrowings at an average interest rate of 14.02%. As a result, our annual interest cost in 2023 will fluctuate based on short-term interest rates. The impact on annual cash flow of a 10% change in the floating-rate (approximately 15.43%) would be approximately $2.8 million annually based on the floating-rate debt and other obligations outstanding at March 31, 2023; however, there are no assurances that possible rate changes would be limited to such amounts.

Commodity Price Risk

Oil and natural gas prices, and market expectations of potential changes in these prices, significantly impact the level of worldwide drilling and production services activities. Reduced demand for oil and natural gas generally results in lower prices for these commodities and may impact the economics of planned drilling projects and ongoing production projects, resulting in the curtailment, reduction, delay or postponement of such projects for an indeterminate period of time. When drilling and production activity and spending decline, both dayrates and utilization have also historically declined. Declines in oil and natural gas prices and the general economy, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth strategy.

36

In addition, if oil and natural gas prices decline, companies that planned to finance exploration, development or production projects through the capital markets may be forced to curtail, reduce, postpone or delay drilling activities even further, and also may experience an inability to pay suppliers. Adverse conditions in the global economic environment could also impact our vendors’ and suppliers’ ability to meet obligations to provide materials and services in general. If any of the foregoing were to occur, or if market conditions were depressed for a prolonged period of time, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results and our ability to timely and successfully implement our growth strategy.

Our business, operating results and financial conditions are subject to various risks outlined in this Current Report on Form 10-Q under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors”, as well as the risk factors outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit and Capital Market Risk

Our customers may finance their drilling activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. Any deterioration in the credit and capital markets, as currently being experienced, can make it difficult for our customers to obtain funding for their capital needs. A reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in commodity prices, or a reduction of available financing may result in a reduction in customer spending and the demand for our drilling services. This reduction in spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM  1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are the subject of certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. Management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings and claims. While the legal proceedings and claims may be asserted for amounts that may be material should an unfavorable outcome be the result, management does not currently expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, management monitors our legal proceedings and claims on a quarterly basis and establishes and adjusts any reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then-current status of such matters.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks related to our business set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
