Helmerich & Payne, Inc. Announces Fiscal Third Quarter Results

  • The Company reported fiscal third quarter net income of $95 million, or $0.93 per diluted share; including select items(1) of $(0.16) per diluted share
  • Quarterly North America Solutions ("NAS") operating income decreased $13 million sequentially, while direct margins(2) decreased $19 million to approximately $277 million, as revenues decreased by $34 million to $642 million and expenses decreased by $15 million to $365 million
  • The North America Solutions segment exited the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 with 153 active rigs reflecting an increase in revenue per day of approximately $790/day to $37,100/day on a sequential basis, while direct margins(2) per day increased by approximately $410/day to $18,400/day
  • H&P's North America Solutions segment anticipates exiting the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 between 141-147 active rigs
  • The natural gas driven decline in rig activity during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was mainly concentrated in higher direct margin(2) spot rigs relative to lower direct margin(2) rigs under term contracts, consequently, the Company expects its North America Solutions direct margins(2) per day in the fourth fiscal quarter to decline slightly
  • Fiscal year to date, including share repurchases and dividends paid and declared, the Company has returned approximately $451 million of capital to shareholders as follows: $104 million in base dividends, $98 million in supplemental dividends and $249 million in share repurchases(3)
  • On June 7, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.25 per share and a supplemental cash dividend of $0.235 per share; both dividends are payable on August 31, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2023

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) reported net income of $95 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, from operating revenues of $724 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $164 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, from operating revenues of $769 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The net income per diluted share for the third and second quarters of fiscal 2023 include $(0.16) and $0.29 of after-tax losses and gains, respectively, comprised of select items(1). For the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, select items were comprised of:

  • $0.05 of non-cash after-tax gains related to the change in estimates of certain liabilities
  • $(0.21) of after-tax losses related to the non-cash change in the fair value of certain contingent liabilities, the sales of rigs and related equipment that were held for sale and the scrapping of excess equipment, and non-cash fair market adjustments to our equity investments

Net cash provided by operating activities was $293 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, which included $37 million in tax payments, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $141 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, which included $114 million in tax payments.

President and CEO John Lindsay commented, "H&P's financial results for the third fiscal quarter were significant for a few reasons. First, they demonstrate that we are achieving economic returns in the low-to-mid teens which are just above of our cost of capital. Second, these financial results were achieved during a period when rig activity was declining primarily due to weak natural gas prices, so our emphasis on contract economics rather than market share drove the Company's financial performance this quarter. Finally, the results reflect a behavioral change that has transpired broadly within the energy industry, and is guided by fiscal prudence and capital allocation.

"Uncertainty around the macro-outlook for crude oil and natural gas prices maintained an underlying sense of apprehension in the U.S. drilling market during the quarter. Recently however, some of this uncertainty has receded, and we are starting to see signs of optimism on the horizon. In the near term, we believe that U.S. rig activity declines will likely continue into the September ended quarter, albeit at a more modest pace than experienced thus far this calendar year. These declines appear to be more of a function of customer budget and production discipline rather than a reaction to short-term commodity price movements. For the quarter ending in December, we expect to see an increase in contracting activity as our customers refresh their capital budgets for 2024, and we have already received indications they may increase activity. Looking forward into the medium to longer term, we believe there will be an increase in the demand for rigs relative to current levels due to fundamental supply and demand dynamics inherent in the industry.

"In the face of recent rig count declines, we have been able to remain firm on our contractual economics by working with customers on alternative contracting models, such as performance contracts. Having the operational confidence in our ability to consistently execute enables H&P to enter into alternative contractual arrangements, which can result in win-win economics for both the customer and H&P. Even with these ongoing efforts, we are anticipating our NAS margins in the fourth fiscal quarter to regress slightly as the rigs idled during the second half of our fiscal year have been mainly in the spot market and had contractual margins above the overall average. The absence of those rigs and their associated margins will contribute to, what we believe will be, a nominal decline for NAS margins in the upcoming quarter. We anticipate this decline will be transitory based on expectations for rig additions and some term contract rollovers benefiting margins in the December ended quarter.

"Expanding our international footprint remains a core strategy for the Company, although one that is unfolding at a slower pace which is typical in international markets compared to the U.S. Our rig in Australia is scheduled to commence drilling soon, and we look forward to demonstrating our expertise in drilling efficiencies and providing value-added drilling solutions to our customer. Additionally, we are sending a second rig to the Middle East in anticipation of hearing results regarding our participation in a recent tender. Activities in our other international markets look to remain relatively steady for the foreseeable future."

Senior Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, "Macro-economic issues experienced earlier this calendar year lingered during our third fiscal quarter and were reflected at the company level by a declining rig count. Notwithstanding, the Company kept the focus on generating economic returns despite this market backdrop and executing our capital allocation strategy, including the 2023 Supplemental Shareholder Return Plan. In addition to the planned base and supplemental dividends during the third fiscal quarter, we continued to opportunistically repurchase shares. Specifically, the Company repurchased approximately 3.2 million shares for roughly $103 million in the fiscal quarter, bringing the total fiscal 2023 year-to-date share repurchases to approximately 6.5 million shares for roughly $249 million, representing approximately 6% of the shares outstanding.

"Looking ahead, we are still very early in the process of establishing our fiscal 2024 capital budget, but preliminary estimates suggest our fiscal 2024 budget will be at least at this year's level considering fiscal 2023 capex deferrals, projected maintenance capex and walking rig conversions. When completed, the budget will serve as a basis for determining and refreshing our shareholder return plans for fiscal 2024. Flexibility, not only with capital allocation within a fiscal year, but from one year to the next, were important components of the inaugural design of the Company's supplemental shareholder return plan. As such, we expect the plan for fiscal 2024 will be developed taking into consideration various factors, some of which may be the same or different from those used to establish the plan for fiscal 2023."

John Lindsay concluded, “We remain optimistic that the political and economic uncertainty over the past several quarters impacting the global crude oil and natural gas markets is indeed abating. During the third fiscal quarter, we once again achieved returns in excess of our cost of capital and moving forward, our focus will remain on maintaining these levels of returns by delivering better well economic outcomes for our customers. This level of performance is possible because of the service attitude of our people and their ability to deliver value through drilling efficiencies and technology in collaboration with our customers."

Operating Segment Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023

North America Solutions:

This segment had operating income of $169.5 million compared to operating income of $182.1 million during the previous quarter. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to a decline in activity levels during the quarter, which also caused direct margin(2) to decrease by $19.2 million to $276.9 million sequentially. Despite the absolute decreases in operating income and direct margin(2), revenue per day and direct margin(2) per day showed sequential increases quarter over quarter.

International Solutions:

This segment had an operating loss of $1.4 million compared to operating income of $4.0 million during the previous quarter. The decline in operating income was mainly due a lower active rig count and the associated direct margins(2). Direct margin(2) during the third fiscal quarter was $3.3 million compared to $8.6 million during the previous quarter.

Offshore Gulf of Mexico:

This segment had operating income of $4.7 million compared to operating income of $6.7 million during the previous quarter. Direct margin(2) for the quarter was $7.3 million compared to $9.3 million in the prior quarter as a rig demobilized as expected.

Operational Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023

North America Solutions:

  • We expect North America Solutions direct margins(2) to be between $230-$250 million
  • We expect to exit the quarter between approximately 141-147 contracted rigs

International Solutions:

  • We expect International Solutions direct margins(2) to be between $8.0-$11.0 million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or losses

Offshore Gulf of Mexico:

  • We expect Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins(2) to be between $6.0-$8.0 million

Other Estimates for Fiscal Year 2023

  • Gross capital expenditures are now expected to be approximately $400 million, exclusive of ongoing asset sales that include reimbursements for lost and damaged tubulars and sales of other used drilling equipment that offset a portion of the gross capital expenditures and are now expected to total approximately $70 million in fiscal year 2023
  • Depreciation for fiscal year 2023 is now expected to be approximately $385 million
  • Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2023 are still expected to be roughly $30 million
  • General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2023 are still expected to be approximately $205 million
  • Cash taxes for fiscal year 2023 are now expected to be approximately $180-$205 million, of which $156 million has been paid through June 30, 2023

(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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 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.

(3) During the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2023, H&P repurchased approximately 3.2 million shares for roughly $103 million; fiscal year to date the Company has repurchased approximately 6.5 million shares for approximately $249 million

(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 direct operating expenses 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, 2023 and 2022, 90 days for the three months ended March 31,2023 and 273 days for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022).

(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, corporate restructuring charges, 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.

The following table reconciles operating income (loss) 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 direct operating expenses. 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.
