NEWS RELEASE |
HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. / 1437 SOUTH BOULDER AVENUE / TULSA, OKLAHOMA
January 31, 2012
HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. reported income from continuing operations of $144,297,000 ($1.32 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $732,588,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to income from continuing operations of $104,365,000 ($0.96 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $594,642,000 during the first fiscal quarter of 2011, and income from continuing operations of $121,514,000 ($1.11 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $700,751,000 during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Included in income from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarters of 2012 and 2011, and for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, is non-operating income (after-tax) related to the sale of used drilling assets of $0.03, $0.02 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $144,286,000 ($1.32 per diluted share), compared to net income of $104,150,000 ($0.96 per diluted share) during the first fiscal quarter of 2011, and net income of $121,420,000 ($1.11 per diluted share) during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.
President and CEO Hans Helmerich commented, “We are pleased to announce strong first quarter results including an all-time record level of income from continuing operations. We also reached best ever levels for revenue and rig activity during this recent quarter. While we expect some moderation in this record breaking pace in the upcoming March quarter, we are gratified for the strong start for our 2012 fiscal year. Even with the uncertainty surrounding slumping natural gas prices and the anticipated softening in dry gas directed drilling in the U.S., we remain upbeat that our business model of providing premium drilling services will continue to prosper in 2012.”
Segment operating income for U.S. land operations was $224,706,000 for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, compared with $158,361,000 for last year’s first fiscal quarter and $192,133,000 for last year’s fourth fiscal quarter. The sequential increase in segment operating income was attributable to increases in activity and pricing, along with a decline in expenses. The Company’s quarterly revenue days for the segment increased sequentially by approximately five percent to 20,968 revenue days during the first fiscal quarter of 2012. The corresponding average rig revenue per day also increased sequentially by $312 to $26,861 during the first fiscal quarter of 2012. Average rig expense per day declined by $643, generating a sequential increase of $955 in average rig margin per day to $14,569 during this year’s first fiscal quarter. Rig utilization for the Company’s U.S. land segment was 91% for this year’s first quarter, compared with 84% for last year’s first fiscal quarter and 87% for last year’s fourth fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s U.S. land segment had 234 contracted rigs (including 150 under term contracts) and 21 idle rigs.

News Release
January 31, 2012
The Company also announced today that it has entered into agreements with two exploration and production companies to build and operate three additional FlexRigs in the U.S. These three rigs will be built under multi-year term contracts and are expected to generate attractive economic returns for the Company. Including the new builds announced today, 40 contracted FlexRigs remain under construction and are currently being completed at the rate of approximately four per month. Once these rigs are completed, the Company’s global fleet is expected to include 287 FlexRigs.
Segment operating income for the Company’s offshore operations was $12,204,000 for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, compared with $9,000,000 for last year’s first fiscal quarter and $11,871,000 for last year’s fourth fiscal quarter. The sequential increase in operating income was attributable to a higher average rig margin per day during the first fiscal quarter. Rig utilization in the segment was reported at 84% for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, as compared to 85% for the immediately preceding quarter.
The Company’s international land operations reported segment operating income of $7,939,000 for this year’s first fiscal quarter, compared with $14,367,000 for last year’s first fiscal quarter and $3,525,000 for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. The decline in segment operating income as compared to last year’s first fiscal quarter was mostly attributable to early termination revenue earned in Mexico during that quarter. The number of revenue days for the first quarter of 2012 increased by approximately six percent as compared to the fourth quarter. The average rig margin per day for the first quarter also increased sequentially, from $7,690 per day during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 to $9,015 per day during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. is primarily a contract drilling company. As of January 31, 2012, the Company’s existing fleet included 259 land rigs in the U.S., 26 international land rigs and nine offshore platform rigs. In addition, the Company is scheduled to complete another 40 new H&P-designed and operated FlexRigs under long-term contracts with customers. Upon completion of these commitments, the Company’s global fleet is expected to have a total of 325 land rigs, including 287 FlexRigs.

News Release
January 31, 2012
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 per the information above to income from continuing operations before income taxes as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands).
