Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP) reported income of $61 million or $0.55 per diluted share from operating revenues of $721 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to income of $19 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, on revenues of $741 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Net income per diluted share for the second and first fiscal quarters of 2019 include $(0.01) and $(0.25), respectively, of after-tax losses comprised of select items(4). For the second fiscal quarter select items(4) were comprised of:
| · | | $0.13 of after-tax gains related to early termination compensation, a non-cash fair market adjustment to our equity investments, and gains on sales |
| · | | $(0.14) of after-tax losses related to abandonments and accelerated depreciation, and losses from discontinued operations related to currency fluctuations |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $200 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $209 million for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2019.
President and CEO John Lindsay commented, “From the outset, this was a quarter challenged by industry uncertainty, so I am pleased to report that the Company not only stayed on target and delivered sequentially improved net income, but also achieved two significant milestones.

News Release
April 24, 2019
“Concern over crude oil prices persisted from the prior quarter which softened demand for incremental super-spec rigs, but H&P completed the planned upgrades already in its pipeline bringing our total number of super-spec FlexRigs to 230 at quarter end. Based on trends we are seeing in rig releases and current demand, we believe the Company’s active rig count will bottom-out early during this quarter with super-spec utilization in the 90%-plus range. This should be supportive of the current pricing environment.
“Crude oil prices are up approximately 40% since the beginning of the calendar year and in past cycles this would have resulted in higher activity. However, we have seen a tempered response and even reductions in activity by some in the industry. Clearly, customer behavior is changing, and their movement is towards prioritization of cash flows and returns. An additional emphasis is placed on disciplined spending and determining where value can be added to improve performance and long-term cash flows. H&P is well positioned in this type of environment with the hardware – a FlexRig fleet that is an industry leader in drilling unconventional wells, and with the software – a digital technology platform that when deployed on a rig can improve well economics, both of which help our customers achieve their goals.
“During the quarter, H&P achieved a major milestone through the commercialization of its drilling automation technology, AutoSlide. We believe AutoSlide and the other software-based offerings from our H&P Technologies (HPT) platform, Motive and MagVar, will continue to gain traction in the industry as the benefits of wellbore quality and placement become more evident as multi-well pad drilling shifts to a manufacturing-type process. The benefits of these technologies can have a meaningful impact on customer well economics by improving production dynamics and lowering the risk of wellbore interference, thereby bolstering financial returns through the life of the well. We are committed to partnering with our customers to unlock these benefits.
“A pivotal long-term objective has been to translate H&P’s position of drilling leadership in U.S. unconventional basins to key international markets where super-spec FlexRigs and HPT software solutions, including AutoSlide, can add significant value to the customer. That has started coming to fruition with the signing of a letter of intent to deploy our first super-spec FlexRig from the U.S. to Argentina later this quarter. We see this as a significant milestone and are excited about this opportunity and what it portends for H&P’s Latin America business, as well as other international markets.”
Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, “Despite the head winds that prevailed in the beginning of calendar year 2019, H&P kept its focus on achieving long-term success with the commercialization of AutoSlide and a letter of intent to send a super-spec FlexRig to an international location. Both lay the groundwork for future growth opportunities for H&P. The Company’s previously reduced cadence for super-spec upgrades remains unchanged for the balance of our fiscal year, as does our capital allocation strategy. As we look ahead, we are confident in the cash flow generation potential of our upgraded super-spec FlexRig fleet.”
John Lindsay concluded, “The Company achieved excellent operational results and several technical accomplishments during the quarter. Our ability to adapt and respond to uncertain market conditions while securing new opportunities for long-term success is paramount. These achievements aren’t possible without the efforts of our people working as a team to deliver on our goals; this exemplifies H&P’s commitment to excellence, which culminated in the Company being ranked first in customer satisfaction for 11 years in a row.”
Operating Segment Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2019
U.S. Land Operations:
Segment operating income increased by $26.5 million to $106.1 million sequentially. The increase in operating results was primarily driven by a legal settlement cost that adversely impacted the prior quarter and the sequential increase in the adjusted average rig margin per day. The number of quarterly revenue days decreased sequentially by approximately 3% as expected.
Page 3
News Release
April 24, 2019
Adjusted average rig revenue per day improved by $468 to $25,624(1) largely due to the average dayrate increasing during the quarter.
The adjusted average rig expense per day decreased sequentially by $427 to $14,195(1) as the quarter benefitted from favorable adjustments to self-insurance expenses and lower reactivation costs associated with the Company’s slower upgrade cadence. Corresponding adjusted average rig margin per day increased $895 to $11,429(1).
The segment’s depreciation expense for the quarter includes non-cash charges of $5.3 million for abandonments and accelerated depreciation of used drilling rig components related to rig upgrades, compared to similar non-cash charges of $3.5 million during the first fiscal quarter of 2019.
International Land Operations:
Segment operating income increased by $1.3 million to $8.0 million sequentially. The increase in operating income was attributable to a higher adjusted average rig margin offset to some extent by less revenue days as some rigs in Colombia became idle. Revenue days decreased during the quarter by 11% to 1,559 while the adjusted average rig margin per day increased by $1,679 to $11,861(1).
Offshore Operations:
Segment operating income decreased by $2.6 million to $4.5 million sequentially. The number of quarterly revenue days on H&P-owned platform rigs increased sequentially by approximately 3%, while the average rig margin per day decreased sequentially by $4,578 to $5,420 due to unfavorable adjustments to self-insurance expenses and a rig moving to a standby rate during the quarter. Management contracts on customer-owned platform rigs contributed approximately $4.7 million to the segment’s operating income, compared to approximately $5.4 million during the prior quarter.
H&P Technologies:
The segment had an operating loss of $7.9 million this quarter as compared to an operating loss of $10.3 million during the previous quarter. The $2.4 million sequential decrease in the operating loss was due primarily to lower costs incurred during the quarter.
Operational Outlook for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019
U.S. Land Operations:
| · | | Quarterly revenue days expected to decrease by approximately 4%-6% sequentially representing a roughly 5%-7% decrease in the average number of active rigs; we expect to exit the quarter at between 215-225 active rigs |
| · | | Average rig revenue per day expected to be relatively flat between $25,500-$26,000 (excluding any impact from early termination revenue) |
| · | | Average rig expense per day expected to be between $14,250-$14,750 |
| · | | We expect to upgrade 2-3 FlexRigs to walking super-spec capabilities during the quarter |
International Land Operations:
| · | | Quarterly revenue days expected to be down approximately 1% sequentially, representing an average rig count of 17 rigs for the quarter |
| · | | Average rig margin per day expected to be roughly $9,000-$10,000 |
Page 4
News Release
April 24, 2019
Offshore Operations:
| · | | Quarterly revenue days expected to increase by approximately 1% sequentially, representing an average rig count of 6 rigs for the quarter |
| · | | Average rig margin per day expected to be approximately $9,500-$10,500 as two rigs return to full operating dayrates |
| · | | Management contracts expected to generate approximately $3-$4 million in operating income |
HP Technologies:
| · | | Following our recent deployment in the Eagle Ford Shale, we anticipate introducing the AutoSlide technology into the Scoop/Stack in the next 2-3 months. |
| · | | The recent moderation of industry rig demand has the potential to slow the rate of adoption of our new technologies. |
Other Estimates for Fiscal 2019
| · | | Capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $500 to $530 million with roughly 35% expected for super-spec upgrades, 33-38% expected for maintenance and 27-32% expected for continued reactivations and other bulk purchases. |
| · | | Depreciation is now expected to be approximately $580 million, inclusive of abandonment and accelerated depreciation charges estimated at approximately $20 million. |

News Release

Segment operating income for all segments is a non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s performance, as it excludes general and administrative expenses, corporate depreciation, income from asset sales, and other corporate income and expense. The Company considers segment operating income 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 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 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands).

“As Adjusted” – Effective October 1, 2018, we implemented organizational changes, consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. Certain operations previously reported in “other” within our segment disclosures are now managed and presented within the new H&P Technologies reportable segment. All segment disclosures have been recast for these segment changes. Additionally, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits – (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 have been adjusted to reflect changes that were applied retrospectively from that adoption.
