(Canadian dollars except as indicated)

This news release contains "forward-looking information and statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. For a full disclosure of the forward-looking information and statements and the risks to which they are subject, see the "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Statements" later in this news release.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded earnings before income taxes, finance charges, foreign exchange, impairment of goodwill, impairment of property, plant and equipment, loss on asset decommissioning and depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA see "Additional GAAP Measures") of $111 million or 53% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014. Our activity for the quarter, as measured by drilling rig utilization days, decreased 51% in Canada, 55% in the U.S. and 23% internationally, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Our adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 32% this quarter, compared to 38% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to a decrease in activity and profitability in our Contract Drilling Services and Completion and Production Services segments and restructuring costs incurred in the current quarter.

Cash provided by operations for the quarter was $71 million, which was 47% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 as lower operating earnings were partially offset by a reduction in working capital.

Precision substantially reduced capital spending during the fourth quarter with permanent reductions that strengthened our cash position and total liquidity. We concluded 2015 with $459 million in capital expenditures, a decrease of $72 million compared to the $531 million capital plan that we announced in October 2015. The decrease was due to $50 million of capital cancelled as a result of lower activity and $34 million of capital deferred to 2016, partially offset by $12 million in foreign exchange impacts. Planned capital expenditures for 2016 are now $202 million, up from the third quarter 2015 press release of $180 million due to the above-mentioned $34 million in capital carried forward from 2015 and foreign exchange impacts of $19 million, offset by an additional $31 million in cancelled capital. The 2016 capital includes expenditures to complete the two international new-build rigs announced in 2015 that will be completed in early 2017. One new-build rig scheduled for customer delivery in 2015 was deferred to the first quarter of 2016 and has now been delivered. A portion of the 2016 capital plan is utilization based and if activity levels increase or decline, Precision has the ability to adjust the plan accordingly.

Effective immediately, Precision is suspending its dividend and believes the suspension will further strengthen liquidity during a challenging and extended industry downturn.

We recorded a net loss this quarter of $271 million, or net loss per diluted share of $0.93, compared to a net loss of $114 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. We incurred asset decommissioning and impairment charges totaling $369 million that, after-tax, reduced net earnings by $254 million and net earnings per diluted share by $0.87.

Revenue this quarter was $345 million or 44% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014, mainly due to lower drilling activity in the U.S., Canada and internationally. Revenue from our Contract Drilling Services and Completion and Production Services segments both decreased over the comparative prior year period by 42% and 53%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net loss was $363 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $33 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in 2014, while revenue was $1.6 billion, or 34% less than in 2014. During the year we recorded asset decommissioning, and asset impairment charges totaling $466 million that after-tax reduced net earnings by $329 million and net earnings per diluted share by $1.12.

Kevin Neveu, Precision's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "During the fourth quarter Precision delivered stronger than expected cash flows and improved the company's liquidity and financial position despite intensifying market headwinds. The land drilling industry is almost a year and a half into a deep downturn, a result of lower commodity prices pushing customer spending down and decreasing drilling demand. There is limited visibility with few positive market signals. In this protracted challenging environment, financial stability is paramount for both survival and sustaining competitive advantage."

"The organization's focus on cost reduction, safe and efficient field operations supported by our robust contract position resulted in continued strong operating margins and the benefits of the resulting cash flows are reflected on our year-end balance sheet. With a cash balance of $445 million and ample capacity in our revolving credit facility, Precision's liquidity position ensures we can perform through an extended downturn. The dividend suspension, while a result of a debt covenant restriction, further strengthens the balance sheet as we continue to maneuver through uncharted waters."

"Our decision to accelerate our transformation to a Tier 1 driller by retiring and fully writing down the value of our legacy rigs is directly tied to our long-term High Performance, High Value strategy. This transformation has been completed over a number of years, beginning in 2009 when Precision had 93 Tier 1 rigs, representing 25% of our fleet. After a six-year Super Series new-build program and the cumulative decommissioning of 236 legacy rigs, Precision's fleet consists of 238 Tier 1 rigs. These Super Series rigs are configured for pad-type resource development and are designed for maximum efficiency with mechanized pipe handling, digital drilling controls and available with bi-directional pad walking systems."

"Despite the current market conditions, I am encouraged by our gains in market share and strong operating performance, including our all-time best safety performance and record low unplanned downtime, all of which reinforce our long-term High Performance strategy. Today we are operating 57 rigs in Canada, 32 in the U.S. and nine rigs internationally. With the majority of these rigs under term contract, our margins are holding up well. However, in a market where incremental opportunities are limited, dayrates can be expected to trend lower, which we plan to partially offset by ongoing cost reduction initiatives."

"Strict capital discipline remains the core focus for our management team. Sustaining cash and reducing operating and capital costs are Precision's top priority for the foreseeable future. Above all, our achievements in the current environment would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our employees in the field and office. I am proud to be a member of the Precision family and look forward to overcoming a challenging market this year," concluded Mr. Neveu.

Financial Highlights

Operating Highlights

Financial Position

Our portfolio of term customer contracts, a scalable operating cost structure and economies achieved through vertical integration of the supply chain all help us manage our business through the industry cycles.

Precision's strategic priorities for 2016 are as follows:

Crude oil prices have decreased significantly since the third quarter of 2014, reducing our customers' cash flows and resulting in a decrease in capital budgets. This decrease has significantly impacted our activity and resulting cash flow. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we evaluated our fleet of equipment and decided to decommission older, lower tiered equipment due to the high cost to maintain, low demand and highly competitive market. The asset decommissioning charge of $166 million is associated with 79 drilling rigs, including 30 rigs in the U.S., 48 rigs in Canada, and one international rig. The drop in oil prices and the number of new-build drilling rigs that entered the market are expected to effectively render legacy assets obsolete. After the rig decommissioning and delivery of two additional rigs for Kuwait in 2017, Precision will have 238 Tier 1 drilling rigs and 16 additional rigs that are good candidates to be upgraded to Tier 1 status. Our drilling rig fleet includes 102 drilling rigs in the U.S., 135 in Canada and 17 internationally. Two additional rigs for Kuwait are expected to be delivered early in 2017.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards, we are required to assess the carrying value of assets in our cash generating units (CGUs) containing goodwill annually and when indicators of impairment exist. As a result of continued low commodity prices and their impact on current and future industry activity, we completed an impairment test for all of our CGUs as at December 31, 2015. The test involves determining a value in use based on a multi-year discounted cash flow using assumptions on expected future results. The resulting value in use is then compared to the carrying value of the CGU. As a result of these tests it was determined that property, plant and equipment in our U.S. contract drilling business were impaired by US$73 million and property, plant and equipment in our international contract drilling business were impaired by US$75 million.

As a result of similar tests during the third quarter of 2015, it was determined that property, plant and equipment in our Canadian well service business were impaired by $73 million and property, plant and equipment in our U.S. completion and production business were impaired by $7 million. In addition, goodwill associated with our rentals cash generating unit was impaired for its full value of $17 million. These impairment adjustments were reflected in our third quarter 2015 financial statements.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the average West Texas Intermediate price of oil was 42% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 average while Henry Hub natural gas price was 45% lower.

Summary for the three months ended December 31, 2015:

Summary for the year ended December 31, 2015:

OUTLOOK

Contracts

Our portfolio of term customer contracts provides a base level of activity and revenue and, as of February 10, 2016, we had term contracts in place for an average of 36 rigs in Canada, 25 in the U.S. and nine internationally for the first quarter of 2016, an average of 31 rig contracts in Canada, 21 in the U.S. and eight internationally for the full year in 2016, and an average of 30 rigs for the full year in 2017. In Canada, term contracted rigs normally generate 250 utilization days per year because of the seasonal nature of well site access. In most regions in the U.S. and internationally, term contracts normally generate 365 utilization days per year.

Drilling Activity

In the U.S., our average active rig count in the fourth quarter was 45 rigs, down 55 rigs over the fourth quarter in 2014 and down 6 rigs over the third quarter of 2015. We currently have 32 rigs active in the United States.

In Canada, our average active rig count in the fourth quarter was 45 rigs, a decrease of 48 rigs over the fourth quarter in 2014 and down four rigs over the third quarter of 2015. We currently have 57 rigs active in Canada.

In general, we expect lower drilling activity levels and pricing pressure on spot market rigs in North America as lower oil prices have caused producers to significantly reduce drilling budgets. We expect Tier 1 rigs to remain the preferred rigs of customers globally and for us to benefit from our completed fleet enhancements.

Internationally, our average active rig count in the quarter was nine rigs, a decrease of two rigs over the fourth quarter in 2014 and down two rigs over the third quarter of 2015. We currently have nine active rigs internationally.

Industry Conditions

During 2015, seasonally adjusted drilling activity consistently decreased in both Canada and the U.S. According to industry sources, as of February 5, 2016, the U.S. active land drilling rig count was down approximately 61% from the same point last year and the Canadian active land drilling rig count was down approximately 36%.

In Canada, there has been strength in natural gas and gas liquids drilling activity related to deep basin drilling in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia, while the bias towards oil-directed drilling in the U.S. continues. For the 2015 year, approximately 45% of the Canadian industry's active rigs and 77% of the U.S. industry's active rigs were drilling for oil targets, compared to 57% for Canada and 82% for the U.S. in 2014.

Capital Spending

Capital spending in 2016 is expected to be $202 million and includes: $156 million for expansion capital; $44 million for sustaining and infrastructure expenditures; and $2 million to upgrade existing rigs. We expect that the $202 million will be split $197 million in the Contract Drilling segment and $5 million in the Completion and Production Services segment. The expansion capital plan for 2016 includes the construction of two new-build drilling rigs to be delivered early in 2017 for our customer in Kuwait. Precision's sustaining and infrastructure capital plan is based upon currently anticipated activity levels for 2016.

SEGMENTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Precision's operations are reported in two segments: the Contract Drilling Services segment, which includes the drilling rig, directional drilling, oilfield supply and manufacturing divisions; and the Completion and Production Services segment, which includes the service rig, snubbing, coil tubing, rental, camp and catering and wastewater treatment divisions.

SEGMENT REVIEW OF CONTRACT DRILLING SERVICES

Revenue from Contract Drilling Services was $306 million this quarter, or 42% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014, while adjusted EBITDA decreased by 43% to $134 million. The decreases were mainly due to lower drilling rig utilization days in our Canadian, U.S. and international contract drilling businesses partially offset by higher average day rates in all markets.

Drilling rig utilization days in Canada (drilling days plus move days) were 4,176 during the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of 51% compared to 2014 primarily due to the decrease in industry activity resulting from lower commodity prices. Drilling rig utilization days in the U.S. were 4,109, or 55% lower than the same quarter of 2014 as U.S. activity was down due to lower industry activity. Drilling rig utilization days in our international business were 822 or 23% lower than the same quarter of 2014 as activity declines in Kurdistan were partially offset by adding a contracted rig in Kuwait in 2015.

Compared to the same quarter in 2014, drilling rig revenue per utilization day was up 13% in Canada, 2% in the U.S. and 10% internationally. In Canada the day rate increase was the result of rig mix as we are working proportionately more Tier 1 rigs compared to the prior year and one-time payments from customers due to contractual shortfalls. The increase in average day rates for the U.S. was primarily due to a higher percentage of revenue being generated from Tier 1 rigs compared to the prior year quarter and idle-but-contracted payments in the quarter relative to the prior year comparative quarter. The average international day rate is up due to the recognition of an early termination payment of US$6 million in the quarter and the addition of a new-build contracted rig in Kuwait.

In Canada, 53% of utilization days in the quarter were generated from rigs under term contract, compared to 42% in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the U.S., 64% of utilization days were generated from rigs under term contract in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to 69% in the fourth quarter of 2014. At the end of the quarter, we had 37 drilling rigs under contract in Canada, 27 in the U.S. and nine internationally.

Operating costs were 52% of revenue for the quarter, which was three percentage points lower than the prior year period. On a per utilization day basis, operating costs for the drilling rig division in Canada were lower than the prior year primarily because of crew wage reduction and cost saving initiatives. In the U.S., operating costs for the quarter on a per day basis were slightly higher from the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily as a result of having fixed costs spread across lower activity, partially offset by no turnkey activity in the current quarter.

General and administrative costs are higher than the prior year by $2 million due to a recovery of share based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Restructuring costs of $2 million in the quarter relate to cost cutting measures taken in response to the persistent down turn in industry activity levels.

Depreciation expense in the quarter was 11% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2014 due to the addition of new-build rigs deployed in 2014 and 2015, the impact of the weakening Canadian dollar compared with the U.S. dollar and the associated impact on our U.S. denominated depreciation expense.

Due to the significant decrease in industry activity resulting from the decline in oil and natural gas prices, we completed an impairment test of our businesses in our Contract Drilling Services Segment in the fourth quarter of 2015. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and goodwill was determined using a multi-year discounted cash flow approach with cash flow assumptions based on historical and expected future results. As a result of this test it was determined that property, plant and equipment in our U.S. contract drilling business were impaired by US$73 million, and property, plant and equipment in our international contract drilling business were impaired by US$75 million.

During the fourth quarter the Contract Drilling Services segment recognized a loss of $165 million related to the decommissioning of 79 drilling rigs, comprised of 48 in Canada, 30 in the United States and one in Mexico, along with certain spare equipment.

SEGMENT REVIEW OF COMPLETION AND PRODUCTION SERVICES

Revenue from Completion and Production Services was down $48 million or 53% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 due to lower activity levels in all service lines and lower average rates. In response to lower oil prices, customers curtailed spending including well completion and production programs. Our well servicing activity in the quarter was down 49% from the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue was also negatively impacted by the sale of our U.S. coil tubing operations in the fourth quarter of last year. Approximately 87% of our fourth quarter Canadian service rig activity was oil related.

During the quarter, Completion and Production Services generated 87% of its revenue from Canadian and 13% from U.S. operations.

Average service rig revenue per operating hour in the fourth quarter was $760 or $136 lower than the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of industry pricing pressure and the sale of our U.S. coil tubing assets, which generally received a higher rate per hour.

Adjusted EBITDA was $16 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 due to declines in activity and pricing and $2 million in restructuring costs in the current quarter.

Operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 86% in the fourth quarter of 2015, from 78% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

General and administrative costs are higher than the prior year by $1 million due to a recovery of share based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2014 partially offset by cost saving initiatives.

Restructuring costs of $2 million in the quarter relate to cost cutting measures taken during the quarter in response to the persistent decline in industry activity levels.

Depreciation in the quarter was 75% lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 because of a lower asset base after decommissioning equipment in the fourth quarter of 2014, the recording of an impairment charge in the third quarter of 2015 and the disposal of our U.S. coil tubing assets part way through the fourth quarter of 2014.

SEGMENT REVIEW OF CORPORATE AND OTHER

Our Corporate and Other segment provides support functions to our operating segments. The Corporate and Other segment had an adjusted EBITDA loss of $22 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, $8 million more than the 2014 comparative period due primarily to restructuring charges of $3 million incurred in the current year quarter and higher share based incentive compensation.

OTHER ITEMS

Net financial charges for the quarter were $34 million, an increase of $4 million from the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on our U.S. dollar denominated interest partially offset by customer related interest income of $2 million in the current quarter. We had a foreign exchange gain of $1 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, which affected the net U.S. dollar denominated monetary position in the Canadian dollar-based companies.

Income tax expense for the quarter was a recovery of $146 million compared with a recovery of $35 million in the same quarter in 2014. The increased recovery is mainly due to the lower operating results from the loss on asset decommissioning and impairment charges in the current quarter compared with the prior year fourth quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The oilfield services business is inherently cyclical in nature. To manage this, we focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet so we have the financial flexibility we need to continue to manage our growth and cash flow, regardless of where we are in the business cycle.

We apply a disciplined approach to managing and tracking results of our operations to keep costs down. We maintain a variable cost structure so we can be responsive to changes in demand.

Our maintenance capital expenditures are tightly governed by and highly responsive to activity levels with additional cost savings leverage provided through our internal manufacturing and supply divisions. Term contracts on expansion capital for new-build rig programs provide more certainty of future revenues and return on our capital investments.

Liquidity

During the third quarter, we agreed with our lending group to the following amendments to our senior credit facility:

As at December 31, 2015 we had $2,207 million outstanding under our senior unsecured notes. The current blended cash interest cost of our debt is approximately 6.2%.

Covenants

Senior Facility

The senior credit facility requires that we comply with certain financial covenants including a leverage ratio of consolidated senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the agreement (Adjusted EBITDA) of less than 2.5:1. For purposes of calculating the leverage ratio consolidated senior debt only includes secured indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our revolving term facility agreement differs from Adjusted EBITDA as defined under Additional GAAP Measures by the exclusion of bad debt expense and certain foreign exchange amounts. As at December 31, 2015 our consolidated senior debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was negative 0.55:1.

Under the senior credit facility we are required to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio, calculated as Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense, of greater than 2:1 reverting to 2.5:1 for periods ending after December 31, 2017 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. As at December 31, 2015 our Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio was 4.26:1.

In addition, the senior credit facility contains certain covenants that place restrictions on our ability to incur or assume additional indebtedness; dispose of assets; pay dividends, share redemptions or other distributions; change our primary business; incur liens on assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and enter into speculative swap agreements. At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants of the revolving credit facility.

Senior Notes

The senior notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants including an Adjusted EBITDA to interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. In the event that our Adjusted EBITDA to interest coverage ratio is less than 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters the senior notes restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. The senior notes contain a restricted payments covenant that limits our ability to make payments in the nature of dividends, distributions and repurchases from shareholders. This restricted payment basket grows by, among other things, 50% of consolidated net earnings and decreases by 100% of consolidated net losses as defined in the note agreements, and payments made to shareholders. Based on the unaudited interim financial statements, as at December 31, 2015, the restricted payments basket was negative $152 million and we are no longer able to make dividend payments until such time as the basket once again becomes positive. For further information please see the senior note indentures which are available on SEDAR and EDGAR.

In addition, the senior notes contain certain covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred shares; create liens; create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or certain subsidiaries to make certain payments and distributions; engage in amalgamations, mergers or consolidations; make certain dispositions and engage in transactions with affiliates. At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants of our senior notes.

Hedge of investments in U.S. operations

We utilize foreign currency long-term debt to hedge our exposure to changes in the carrying values of our net investment in certain foreign operations as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Effective January 1, 2015, we have included the US$400 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due in 2024 as a designated hedge of our investment in our U.S. dollar denominated foreign operations and now all of our U.S. dollar Senior notes are designated as a net investment hedge.

Effective April 30, 2015, a portion of our U.S. dollar denominated debt that was previously treated as a hedge of our net investment in our U.S. operations was designated as a hedge of the investment in our foreign operations that have a U.S. dollar functional currency.

To be accounted for as a hedge, the foreign currency denominated long-term debt must be designated and documented as such and must be effective at inception and on an ongoing basis. We recognize the effective amount of this hedge (net of tax) in other comprehensive income. We recognize ineffective amounts (if any) in earnings.

Average shares outstanding

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL SUMMARY

(Stated in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES

We reference Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measures that are not defined terms under International Financial Reporting Standards to assess performance because we believe they provide useful supplemental information to investors.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, financing charges, foreign exchange, impairment of goodwill, impairment of property, plant and equipment, loss on asset decommissioning and depreciation and amortization), as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is a useful measure, because it gives an indication of the results from our principal business activities prior to consideration of how our activities are financed and the impact of foreign exchange, taxation and non-cash impairment, decommissioning, depreciation and amortization charges.

Operating Earnings (Loss)

We believe that operating earnings (loss), as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the results of our principal business activities before consideration of how those activities are financed and the impact of foreign exchange and taxation.

Funds Provided by Operations

We believe that funds provided by operations, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the funds our principal business activities generate prior to consideration of working capital, which is primarily made up of highly liquid balances.
