Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) reported net income of
$89 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, from operating revenues of
$698 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to net
income of $85 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, from operating
revenues of $688 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The
net income per diluted share for the third and second quarters of
fiscal year 2024 include net $(0.04) and net $0.00 of after-tax
gains and losses, respectively, comprised of select items(1). For
the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, select items were comprised
of:
- $0.06 of after-tax gains related to the non-cash fair market
value adjustments to our equity investments
- $(0.10) of after-tax losses related to a Blue Chip Swap
transaction and non-recurring professional service fees
Net cash provided by operating activities was $197 million for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to net cash provided
by operating activities of $144 million for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2024.
President and CEO John Lindsay commented, “Our financial results
for the third fiscal quarter continue to demonstrate the resilience
of our strategy in the North America Solutions segment. Once again,
it was particularly notable, that despite a more sizeable decline
in the overall industry rig count, our NAS active rig count
remained relatively stable during the third fiscal quarter which is
a reflection of H&P’s unyielding focus on providing value to
our customers. On the international front, the Company's first
super-spec FlexRig® arrived in Saudi Arabia, which is another step
in our strategy to increase our operational presence in the
region.
“Macro headwinds, both directly and indirectly related to the
oil and gas industry, persist and are still causing a more
cautionary outlook for the industry. With the cyclical nature of
our industry, we are hopeful that these will subside and bring
about a more positive outlook for the industry in the coming
quarters. Contractual churn remains prevalent in the U.S. market,
but our people are doing a good job managing through this. We
expect the churn to continue and as we have seen in recent summers,
we also anticipate our active rig count to be flat with perhaps a
modest incline heading into our fiscal year-end.
“Activity levels in the International Solutions segment in the
fourth fiscal quarter are expected to remain consistent with the
third fiscal quarter with the exception that the first of the eight
Saudi Arabia rigs is expected to commence work in the fiscal fourth
quarter once contractual acceptance procedures are completed. The
preparation work for the remaining seven super-spec rigs is
progressing as planned with export dates expected through the
balance of the calendar year. We are looking forward to working
with Saudi Aramco and building a long-term, valuable relationship
with our new customer.”
Senior Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented,
“Currently, we expect our active NAS rig count in the fourth fiscal
quarter to remain consistent with our third fiscal quarter average.
Accordingly, our NAS direct margin guidance also remains relatively
consistent with the level recognized during the third fiscal
quarter. Contract economics remain the cornerstone of our NAS
strategy and we do not anticipate the same level of volatility or
correlation to overall rig counts that we have experienced in the
past. Recent quarterly results continue to provide evidence of
that.
“The Company returned another $42 million to shareholders in the
form of base and supplemental dividends during the quarter and the
Board of Directors declared the fourth and final installment of the
supplemental dividend under the 2024 Supplemental Shareholder
Return Plan. Looking ahead, we have just begun the process of
establishing our fiscal 2025 capital budget and preliminarily we
believe the projected maintenance and walking rig conversions capex
will be similar to fiscal 2024 levels with the biggest swing factor
related to any international tender awards that would result in
additional capex. As part of its budgeting process for the fiscal
year ahead, the Company continuously evaluates the uses of cash and
capital allocation priorities.”
John Lindsay concluded, “The Company will continue to execute as
it always has with a customer-centric approach and safety focus,
which is ingrained in our Company culture. We look forward to
commencing work in Saudi Arabia and taking advantage of additional
opportunities as those arise in the coming quarters."
Operating Segment Results for the Third
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
North America Solutions:
This segment had operating income of $163.4 million compared to
operating income of $147.1 million during the previous quarter. The
increase in operating income was primarily attributable to a higher
direct margin and the prior quarter experiencing higher
depreciation and research and development expenses. Direct
margin(2) increased by $6.0 million to $277.4 million
sequentially.
International Solutions:
This segment had an operating loss of $4.8 million compared to
operating income of $3.6 million during the previous quarter. The
decrease in operating income was mainly due to recommissioning
expenses for rigs that will be exported to Saudi Arabia and related
start-up costs. Direct margin(2) during the third fiscal quarter
was $0.4 million compared to $8.4 million during the previous
quarter. Current quarter results included a $2.1 million foreign
currency loss compared to a $0.5 million foreign currency loss in
the previous quarter.
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
This segment had operating income of $5.0 million compared to
operating income of $0.1 million during the previous quarter.
Direct margin(2) for the quarter was $7.6 million compared to $2.9
million in the previous quarter. The increase in operating income
was primarily attributable to rigs moving to full operating rates
earlier than planned.
Operational Outlook for the Fourth
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
North America Solutions:
- We expect North America Solutions direct margins(2) to be
between $260-$280 million
- We expect to exit the quarter between approximately 147-153
contracted rigs
International Solutions:
- We expect International Solutions direct margins(2) to be
between $(2)-$2 million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or
losses
- Projected International Solutions direct margins(2) for the
fourth fiscal quarter are inclusive of approximately $6-$8 million
of rig preparation and start-up expense related to our Saudi Arabia
operations, higher than previous guidance as some costs shifted
from the third fiscal quarter into the fourth fiscal quarter
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
- We expect Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins(2) to be
between $6-$8 million
Other Estimates for Fiscal Year
2024
- Gross capital expenditures are still expected to be
approximately $500 million;
- Ongoing asset sales that include reimbursements for lost and
damaged tubulars and sales of other used drilling equipment offset
a portion of the gross capital expenditures, and are now expected
to total approximately $45 million in fiscal year 2024
- Depreciation for fiscal year 2024 is now expected to be
approximately $400 million
- Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2024 are now
expected to be roughly $40 million
- General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2024 are
now expected to be approximately $250 million
- Cash taxes to be paid in fiscal year 2024 are still expected to
be approximately $150-$200 million
Select Items(1) Included in Net Income
per Diluted Share
Third quarter of fiscal year 2024 net income of $0.88 per
diluted share included a net impact $(0.04) per share in after-tax
gains and losses comprised of the following:

adjustments to equity investments
- $(0.05) of after-tax losses on a Blue Chip Swap transaction to
repatriate cash to the U.S. from Argentina
- $(0.05) of after-tax losses related to non-recurring
professional service fees
Second quarter of fiscal year 2024 net income of $0.84 per
diluted share included $0.00 in after-tax losses comprised of the
following:
- $0.03 of non-cash after-tax gains related to fair market value

Note Regarding Trademarks. Helmerich & Payne, Inc. owns
or has rights to the use of trademarks, service marks and trade

(1) Select items are considered non-GAAP metrics and are
included as a supplemental disclosure as the Company believes
identifying and excluding select items is useful in assessing and
understanding current operational performance, especially in making
comparisons over time involving previous and subsequent periods
and/or forecasting future periods results. Select items are
excluded as they are deemed to be outside the Company's core
business operations. See Non-GAAP Measurements.
(2) Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is
defined as operating revenues (less reimbursements) less direct
operating expenses (less reimbursements) and is included as a
supplemental disclosure. We believe it is useful in assessing and
understanding our current operational performance, especially in
making comparisons over time. See Non-GAAP Measurements for a
reconciliation of segment operating income(loss) to direct margin.
Expected direct margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 is
provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information
necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is
unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of
predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact
of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and
variability of the nature and amount of future items and
adjustments, which could be significant, we are unable to provide a
reconciliation of expected direct margin to the most comparable
GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

(1)
These operating metrics and financial
data, including average active rigs, are provided to allow
investors to analyze the various components of segment financial
results in terms of activity, utilization and other key results.
Management uses these metrics to analyze historical segment
financial results and as the key inputs for forecasting and
budgeting segment financial results.
(2)
Direct margin, which is considered a
non-GAAP metric, is defined as operating revenues (less
reimbursements) less direct operating expenses (less
reimbursements) and is included as a supplemental disclosure
because we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our
current operational performance, especially in making comparisons
over time. See — Non-GAAP Measurements below for a reconciliation
of segment operating income (loss) to direct margin.
(3)
Defined as the number of contractual days
we recognized revenue for during the period.
(4)
Active rigs generate revenue for the
Company; accordingly, 'average active rigs' represents the average
number of rigs generating revenue during the applicable time
period. This metric is calculated by dividing revenue days by total
days in the applicable period (i.e. 91 days for the three months
ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, 274 days
for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 273 days for the nine
months ended June 30, 2023).
(5)
Defined as the number of rigs generating
revenue at the applicable end date of the time period.
Segment operating income (loss) for all segments is a non-GAAP
financial measure of the Company’s performance, as it excludes gain
on sale of assets, corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses and corporate depreciation. The Company considers segment
operating income (loss) to be an important supplemental measure of
operating performance for presenting trends in the Company’s core
businesses. This measure is used by the Company to facilitate
period-to-period comparisons in operating performance of the
Company’s reportable segments in the aggregate by eliminating items
that affect comparability between periods. The Company believes
that segment operating income (loss) is useful to investors because
it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the
segments and the Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that
are used by our internal decision makers. Additionally, it
highlights operating trends and aids analytical comparisons.
However, segment operating income (loss) has limitations and should
not be used as an alternative to operating income or loss, a
performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, as it
excludes certain costs that may affect the Company’s operating
performance in future periods.
Income from discontinued operations was presented as a separate
line item on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023. To
conform with the current fiscal year presentation, we reclassified
amounts previously presented in Income from discontinued
operations, which were not material, to Other within Other income
(expense) on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
The following table reconciles operating income per the
information above to income (loss) from continuing operations
before income taxes as reported on the Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(**)The Company believes identifying and excluding select items
is useful in assessing and understanding current operational
performance, especially in making comparisons over time involving
previous and subsequent periods and/or forecasting future period
results. Select items are excluded as they are deemed to be outside
of the Company's core business operations.
NON-GAAP
RECONCILIATION OF DIRECT MARGIN
Direct margin is considered a non-GAAP metric. We define "direct
margin" as operating revenues (less reimbursements) less direct
operating expenses (less reimbursements). Direct margin is included
as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is useful in
assessing and understanding our current operational performance,
especially in making comparisons over time. Direct margin is not a
substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP
and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such
GAAP financial measures.
The following table reconciles direct margin to segment
operating income (loss), which we believe is the financial measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most
directly comparable to direct margin.
