Industry utilization of Tier-1, Super-Spec rigs is very tight We have 100% utilization of our Tier-1, Super-Spec rigs in the southern U.S. Patterson-UTI is a leader in super-spec rigs available for reactivation
U.S. Drilling Margins per Operating Day Upside remains to prior peak margins Adjusted gross margin is defined as revenues less direct operating costs and excludes, other operating expenses, net, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation, amortization and impairment. Average adjusted gross margin per operating day is defined as adjusted gross margin divided by operating days. 2014 estimated average adjusted gross margin per operating day includes only AC-powered rigs for purposes of comparability with our current rig fleet. Estimates calculated as total revenue from AC-powered rigs less direct costs for AC-powered rigs less support cost allocation, divided by total operating days for AC-powered rigs. 2 1
