These forward-looking information and statements are based on certain assumptions and analysis made by Precision in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances.

continued market demand for our drilling rigs

our ability to deliver rigs to customers on a timely basis

the impact of climate change on our business

the general stability of the economic and political environments globally and in the jurisdictions where we operate, and

the impact of an increase/decrease in capital spending.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information and statements. Whether actual results, performance or achievements will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

volatility in the price and demand for oil and natural gas

fluctuations in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities

fluctuations in the demand for contract drilling, well servicing and ancillary oilfield services

our customers’ inability to obtain adequate credit or financing to support their drilling and production activity

fluctuations in foreign exchange, interest rates and tax rates, and

other unforeseen conditions which could impact the use of services supplied by Precision and Precision’s ability to respond to such conditions.
