HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) reported income from continuing operations of $151,067,000 ($1.39 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $838,309,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to income from continuing operations of $129,763,000 ($1.18 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $769,982,000 during the second fiscal quarter of 2012, and income from continuing operations of $159,611,000 ($1.48 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $844,572,000 during the first fiscal quarter of 2013.  Included in income from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarters of 2013 and 2012 are after-tax gains equivalent to $0.03 and $0.05 per diluted share, respectively, related to the sale of used drilling assets.  Included in income from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 are after-tax gains equivalent to $0.08 per diluted share related to the sale of used drilling assets and investment securities.  Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $151,080,000 ($1.39 per diluted share), compared to net income of $129,719,000 ($1.18 per diluted share) during the second fiscal quarter of 2012, and net income of $159,603,000 ($1.48 per diluted share) during the first fiscal quarter of 2013.

 

Chairman and CEO Hans Helmerich commented, “We are pleased with our solid financial results for the quarter and continue to expect 2013 to improve as the year unfolds.  Assuming some measure of oil price resiliency, we anticipate slow activity improvement ahead with customer focus around capturing potential efficiencies, performance reliability and safety providing attractive opportunities for the Company.”

 

The Company also announced today that it has entered into agreements with two exploration and production companies to build and operate two additional FlexRigs®* in the U.S.  In addition, the Company entered an agreement to build a new 3,000 horsepower AC drive rig which is scheduled to begin operations in Colombia in the spring of 2014.  All three rigs are under multi-year term contracts and expected to generate attractive economic returns for the Company.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $310,678,000 ($2.87 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $1,682,881,000 compared with income from continuing operations of $274,060,000 ($2.51 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $1,502,570,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2012.  Included in income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were approximately $0.11 and $0.07 per share, respectively, of after-tax gains from the sale of used drilling equipment and investment securities.  Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $310,683,000 ($2.87 per diluted share), compared to net income of $274,005,000 ($2.51 per diluted share) during the first six months of fiscal 2012.

 

Segment operating income for U.S. land operations was $225,998,000 for the second fiscal quarter of 2013, compared with $209,959,000 for last year’s second fiscal quarter and $234,388,000 for this year’s first fiscal quarter. Quarterly revenue days for the U.S. land segment sequentially increased by 104 days to 21,847 revenue days, and the corresponding average rig revenue per day increased by $215 to $28,255 during the second fiscal quarter of 2013.  The average rig expense per day increased by $451 to $13,085, generating a sequential decline of $236 in average rig margin per day, from $15,406 during this year’s first fiscal quarter to $15,170 during this year’s second fiscal quarter.  Both the average rig margin and average rig expense per day were negatively impacted by a bad debt reserve during the quarter equivalent to $174 per day.  Rig

utilization for the Company’s U.S. land segment was 82% for this year’s second fiscal quarter, compared with 91% for last year’s second fiscal quarter and 82% for this year’s first fiscal quarter.  At March 31, 2013, the Company’s U.S. land segment had 246 active rigs, including 161 under term contracts.

 

Segment operating income for the Company’s offshore operations was $13,650,000 for the second fiscal quarter of 2013, compared with $9,818,000 for last year’s second fiscal quarter and $15,006,000 for this year’s first fiscal quarter.  The sequential decline in operating income was attributable to a slightly lower number of revenue days along with a lower average rig margin per day during the most recent quarter.  Average rig margin per day for this year’s second fiscal quarter was $24,838 as compared to $25,782 for this year’s first fiscal quarter.

 

The Company’s international land operations reported segment operating income of $13,169,000 for this year’s second fiscal quarter, compared with an operating loss of $974,000 for last year’s second fiscal quarter and operating income of $9,111,000 for this year’s first fiscal quarter.  The sequential increase in segment operating income was primarily attributable to early termination compensation equivalent to approximately $2,600 of rig revenue per day during this year’s second fiscal quarter.  As a result, average rig margin per day increased to $11,053 in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 from $8,400 in the first fiscal quarter of 2013.  As compared to this year’s first fiscal quarter, the level of activity for the second fiscal quarter decreased by approximately ten percent to a total of 2,023 revenue days.

 

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. is primarily a contract drilling company.  As of April 25, 2013, the Company’s existing fleet included 302 land rigs in the U.S., 29 international land rigs and nine offshore platform rigs.  In addition, the Company is scheduled to complete two new rigs under long-term contracts.  Upon completion of these commitments, the Company’s global fleet is expected to have a total of 333 land rigs, including 301 FlexRigs.

 

Helmerich & Payne, Inc.’s conference call/webcast is scheduled to begin this morning at 11:00 a.m. ET (10:00 a.m. CT) and can be accessed at http://www.hpinc.com under Investors.  If you are unable to participate during the live webcast, the call will be archived on H&P’s website indicated above.

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).
