HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements refers to Helmerich & Payne, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

We classified our former Venezuelan operation, an operating segment within the International Land segment, as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as more fully described in Note 2. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this business, along with its results of operations, have been reclassified for all periods presented. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements relates only to our continuing operations.

 

A land rig in the U.S. Land segment met the held-for-sale classification criteria at March 31, 2011.  The net book value of the rig is included in prepaid expenses and other in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011.

 

As more fully described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our contract drilling revenues are comprised of daywork drilling contracts for which the related revenues and expenses are recognized as services are performed. For contracts that are terminated by customers prior to the expirations of their fixed term, contractual provisions customarily require early termination amounts to be paid to us. Revenues from early terminated contracts are recognized when all contractual requirements have been met.

 

2.             Discontinued Operations

 

On June 30, 2010, the Official Gazette of Venezuela published the Decree of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, which authorized the “forceful acquisition” of eleven rigs owned by our Venezuelan subsidiary. The Decree also authorized the seizure of “all the personal and real property and other improvements” used by our Venezuelan subsidiary in its drilling operations. The seizing of our assets became effective June 30, 2010 and met the criteria established for recognition as discontinued operations under accounting standards for presentation of financial statements. Therefore, operations from the Venezuelan subsidiary, an operating segment within the International Land segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. All historical statements have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

3.             Earnings per Share

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings per Share, requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock grants to employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends. Such grants are considered participating securities under ASC 260. As such, we are required to include these grants in the calculation of our basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

Basic net income per share is computed utilizing the two-class method and is calculated based on weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

 

Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods utilizing the two-class method for stock options and nonvested restricted stock.

5.             Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

 

The estimated fair value of our available-for-sale securities, reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as Investments, is primarily based on market quotes. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities, which excludes investments in limited partnerships carried at cost and assets held in a Non-qualified Supplemental Savings Plan:

On an on-going basis, we evaluate the marketable equity securities to determine if any decline in fair value below original cost is other-than-temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis established. We review several factors to determine whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time a security is in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value is less than cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The cost of securities used in determining realized gains and losses is based on the average cost basis of the security sold. We had no sales of marketable equity available-for-sale securities during the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010.

 

Investments in limited partnerships carried at cost were approximately $12.4 million at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010. The estimated fair value of the limited partnerships was $22.2 million and $22.5 million at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.  Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we sold our investment in a limited partnership that was carried at a cost of approximately $3.0 million and had an estimated fair value of approximately $3.9 million at March 31, 2011.  The sale will be recorded in the third quarter ending June 30, 2011.

 

Assets held in the Non-qualified Supplemental Savings Plan are carried at fair market value which totaled $6.9 million at March 31, 2011 and $5.1 million at September 30, 2010.

 

The majority of cash equivalents are invested in taxable and non-taxable money-market mutual funds. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those investments.

 

The carrying value of other assets, accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximated fair value at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” We use the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820-10 to measure fair value to prioritize the inputs:

 

·                  Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·                  Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data.

 

At March 31, 2011, our financial instruments utilizing Level 1 inputs include cash equivalents, equity securities with active markets and money market funds we have elected to classify as restricted assets that are included in other current assets and other assets. Also included is cash denominated in a foreign currency we have elected to classify as restricted that is included in current assets of discontinued operations and limited to remaining liabilities of discontinued operations. For these items, quoted current market prices are readily available.

 

At March 31, 2011, financial instruments utilizing level 2 inputs include a bank certificate of deposit included in other current assets.

The fair value for fixed-rate debt was estimated using cash flows discounted at rates reflecting current interest rates at similar maturities plus a credit spread which was estimated using market information on debt instruments with a similar credit profile to us.  The outstanding line of credit and short-term debt bear interest at market rates and the cost of borrowings, if any, would approximate fair value. The debt was valued using a level 2 input.

The $0.06 cash dividend declared December 7, 2010, was paid March 1, 2011.  On March 2, 2011, a cash dividend of $0.06 per share was declared for shareholders of record on May 13, 2011, payable June 1, 2011. The dividend payable is included in accounts payable in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

 

8.             Stock-Based Compensation

 

We have one plan providing for common-stock based awards to employees and to non-employee directors.  The plan permits the granting of various types of awards including stock options and restricted stock awards.  Restricted stock may be granted for no consideration other than prior and future services.  The purchase price per share for stock options may not be less than market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.  Stock options expire ten years after the grant date.  We have the right to satisfy option exercises from treasury shares and from authorized but unissued shares.

 

In March 2006, the Company adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”).  The 2005 Plan, among other things, authorized the Board of Directors to grant nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and performance units to selected employees and to non-employee Directors.  There were 324,162 shares and 169,375 shares of restricted stock awards granted in the six months ended March 31, 2011.  Effective March 2, 2011, no further common-stock based awards will be made under the 2005 Plan.  However, awards outstanding in the 2005 Plan and the 2000 Plan remain subject to the terms and conditions of those plans.

 

On March 2, 2011, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved.  The 2010 Plan, among other things, authorizes the Board of Directors to grant nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to selected employees and to non-employee Directors.  As of March 31, 2011, no stock awards have been granted from the 2010 Plan.

Risk-Free Interest Rate.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities for the expected term of the option.

 

Expected Volatility Rate.  Expected volatility is based on the daily closing price of our stock based upon historical experience over a period which approximates the expected term of the option.

 

Dividend Yield.  The expected dividend yield is based on our current dividend yield.

 

Expected Term.  The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding.  We estimate the expected term of options granted based on historical experience with grants and exercises.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $22.20.  No options were granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 was $28.9 million and $39.3 million, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2011, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options was $13.1 million.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

 

RESTRICTED STOCK

 

Restricted stock awards consist of our common stock and are time vested over three to six years.  We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the average of the high and low price of our shares on the grant date.  As of March 31, 2011, there was $10.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

The intermediate unsecured debt outstanding at March 31, 2011 matures over a period from August 2012 to August 2014 and carries a weighted-average interest rate of 6.53 percent, which is paid semi-annually.  The terms require that we maintain a minimum ratio of debt to total capitalization of less than 55 percent.  The debt is held by various entities, including $3 million held by a company affiliated with one of our Board members.

 

We have $200 million senior unsecured fixed-rate notes that mature over a period from July 2012 to July 2016.  Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually based on an annual rate of 6.10 percent.  We will make five equal annual principal repayments of $40 million starting on July 21, 2012.  Financial covenants require us to maintain a funded leverage ratio of less than 55 percent and an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of not less than 2.50 to 1.00.

 

We have an agreement with a multi-bank syndicate for a $400 million senior unsecured credit facility maturing December 2011.  While we have the option to borrow at the prime rate for maturities of less than 30 days, we anticipate that the majority of all of the borrowings over the life of the facility will accrue interest at a spread over the London Interbank Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).  We pay a commitment fee based on the unused balance of the facility.  The spread over LIBOR as well as the commitment fee is determined according to a scale based on a ratio of our total debt to total capitalization.  The LIBOR spread ranges from .30 percent to .45 percent over LIBOR depending on the ratios.  At March 31, 2011, the LIBOR spread on borrowings was .35 percent and the commitment fee was .075 percent per annum.  At March 31, 2011, we had two letters of credit totaling $21.9 million under the facility and no borrowings against the facility leaving $378.1 million available to borrow. Financial covenants in the facility require we maintain a funded leverage ratio (as defined) of less than 50 percent and an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. 

 

The applicable agreements for all unsecured debt described in this Note 9 contain additional terms, conditions and restrictions that we

believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies that are similar in size and credit quality.  At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

 

10.       Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 was 37.6 percent and 30.7 percent, respectively.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 37.9 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively.  The effective rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily due to state and foreign taxes.

 

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a material effect on results of operations or financial position.

 

11.       Acquisition of TerraVici Drilling Solutions

 

Pursuant to the satisfaction of a performance milestone, we paid $4.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 that was accounted for as goodwill.  The payment is shown as an investing activity in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

 

12.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

In conjunction with our current drilling rig construction program, purchase commitments for equipment, parts and supplies of approximately $132.1 million are outstanding at March 31, 2011.

 

A lawsuit has been filed against us and one of our vendors alleging patent infringement as a result of the vendor’s manufacture and sale of its control system to us and our use of that control system on our drilling rigs.  Plaintiff seeks infringement damages, trebling of damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction.  This case is currently set for trial on July 11, 2011.  We have and will continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit.  The outcome of the case remains uncertain and a loss estimate cannot be made.  If we are unsuccessful in this litigation, then the amount of damages awarded could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Various other legal actions, the majority of which arise in the ordinary course of business, are pending.  We maintain insurance against certain business risks subject to certain deductibles.  None of these legal actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

 

We are contingently liable to sureties in respect of bonds issued by the sureties in connection with certain commitments entered into by us in the normal course of business.  We have agreed to indemnify the sureties for any payments made by them in respect of such bonds.

 

During the ordinary course of our business, contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving an uncertainty as to the realization of a possible gain contingency.  We account for gain contingencies in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies, and, therefore, we do not record gain contingencies and recognize income until realized.  As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, property and equipment of our Venezuelan subsidiary was seized by the Venezuelan government on June 30, 2010.  We continue to evaluate various remedies, including any recourse we may have against Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”), the state-owned petroleum company, or related parties, any remuneration or reimbursement that we might collect from PDVSA or related parties, and any other sources of recovery for our losses.  While there exists the possibility of realizing a recovery, we are currently unable to determine the timing or amounts we may receive, if any, or the likelihood of recovery.  No gain contingencies are recognized in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

 

13.       Segment Information

 

We operate principally in the contract drilling industry. Our contract drilling business includes the following reportable operating segments: U.S. Land, Offshore and International Land.  The contract drilling operations consist mainly of contracting Company-owned drilling equipment primarily to large oil and gas exploration companies.  Our primary international areas of operation include Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, Tunisia and Bahrain. The International Land operations have similar services, have similar types of customers, operate in a consistent manner and have similar economic and regulatory characteristics.  Therefore, we have aggregated our international operations into one reportable segment.  Our Venezuelan operation, which was historically an operating segment within the International Land segment, was discontinued in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Consequently, its operating results are excluded from the segment data tables below for all periods presented.  Each reportable

 

15



Table of Contents

 

segment is a strategic business unit which is managed separately. Other includes non-reportable operating segments.  Revenues included in Other consist primarily of rental income.  Consolidated revenues and expenses reflect the elimination of all material intercompany transactions.

 

We evaluate segment performance based on income or loss from operations (segment operating income) before income taxes which includes:

 

·                  revenues from external and internal customers

·                  direct operating costs

·                  depreciation and

·                  allocated general and administrative costs but excludes corporate costs for other depreciation, income from asset sales and other corporate income and expense.

 

Certain general and administrative costs are allocated to the segments based primarily on specific identification and, to the extent that such identification is not practical, on other methods which we believe to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided.

 

Segment operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance, as it excludes general and administrative expenses, corporate depreciation, income from asset sales and other corporate income and expense.  We consider segment operating income to be an important supplemental measure of operating performance by presenting trends in our core businesses.  We use this measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons in operating performance of our reportable segments in the aggregate by eliminating items that affect comparability between periods.  We believe that segment operating income is useful to investors because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the segments 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 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 our operating performance in future periods.

 

Summarized financial information of our reportable segments for the six months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, is shown in the following tables:
