ADNOC Drilling said on Wednesday that its revenue for the first nine months of 2021 increased by 12 percent to $1.7 billion compared to the same period last year.
This was the company’s first quarterly disclosure since its listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) in early October 2021.
The Company reported an EBITDA of $785 million, with a margin of 46 percent, and a net profit of $460 million for the period, up nine percent year-on-year.
For the third quarter, ADNOC Drilling reported revenues of $571 million, up 11 percent year-on-year, and EBITDA of $285 million, representing a 50 percent margin in the quarter.
The onshore revenue for the nine months was $847 million, up 10 percent compared to the same period last year, largely driven by new rigs and the reactivation of rigs in 2021. Third-quarter 2021 revenue was $279 million, up nine percent year-on-year.
Offshore -Jackup revenue increased during the nine months to $450 million– nine-month 2020 revenue was $443 million– supported by an increase in operating activity of its jack-up rigs.
The Q3 revenue was $157 million, down 2 percent year-on-year.
Offshore – Island revenue was up 11 percent to $166 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year and Q3 revenue was $61 million, up 45 percent year-on-year.
The company said Oilfield Services (OFS) maintained a robust growth trajectory, driven by higher activity as the segment continued its expansion.
Revenue for the nine months increased 50 percent year-on-year to $231 million and Q3 revenue was $74 million, up 32 percent year-on-year.
The company said its EBITDA margin of 50 percent reflects the company’s commitment and continued focus on driving efficiency throughout the business
ADNOC said capital expenditure for the nine months increased four-fold on a year-on-year basis, to $454 million in 2021. These investments will support the ambitious growth of the Company’s OFS expansion operations and rig acquisitions, with these new rigs expected to commence operations in 2022, the statement said.
ADNOC Drilling remains active in several mega-tenders in Abu Dhabi, while also pursuing the further expansion of its discrete services portfolio and increased market share in the OFS segment. If awarded, these tenders will expand the Company’s portfolio outside of the Integrated Drilling Services (IDS) segment, with awards expected during 2022, the company said.
In October, following the success of its heavily oversubscribed IPO on ADX, ADNOC Drilling was included in three of FTSE Russell’s globally recognized indices including the FTSE Emerging Index, FTSE Global Large Cap Index and FTSE All-World Index.
