TULSA, Okla., April 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE:HP) reported a net loss of $12 million or $(0.12) per diluted share from operating revenues of $577 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The net loss per diluted share includes $(0.07) of after-tax losses comprised of select items(3). Net cash provided by operating activities was $125 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
President and CEO John Lindsay commented, “Second quarter operational results were strong and our team continued to execute in superb fashion in this steadily improving environment. Higher crude oil prices bolstered increases in the U.S. rig count which in turn supported rig pricing improvements during the quarter.
“The demand for super-spec rigs continues to persist as the industry’s super-spec fleet remains nearly 100% utilized. H&P leads the way with more than 40% of the super-spec market share in U.S. Land. We also have approximately 50% of the industry’s idle rig capacity not already at super-spec capability that can be readily upgraded to those specifications in the current pricing environment. Our robust financial position and the composition of our fleet continues to drive our ability to respond to current and future FlexRig demand. Given the tightening market conditions for FlexRigs and the value proposition we provide for customers, we expect increases in average dayrates for our rigs in the U.S. Land spot market to accelerate during the next few months.
“The Permian is the most active basin in the U.S. and has been the epicenter of the industry’s recovery. H&P has 107 rigs operating in the region, providing us with a leading market share of more than 20% and we expect our rig count to continue to grow throughout the next several months. Our attention to work-force staffing during the last downturn continues to enable us to effectively manage tightening labor market conditions in the Permian.
“The strengthening of crude oil prices has also been encouraging for our international and offshore businesses as we have seen a rise in the number of inquiries and opportunities in these segments.
“Our subsidiaries, MOTIVE® Drilling Technologies, Inc. and MagVAR, remain at the technological forefront of providing value-added services in improving overall well economics for our customers. These businesses are growing activity at impressive rates as the importance of wellbore quality and placement is increasing, while at the same time longer laterals and tighter well spacing are becoming more and more prevalent. These technology offerings, combined with our digital FlexRig platform, continue to provide significant value for our customers going forward.
“Our relentless focus on our customers was recognized by EnergyPoint Research during the second quarter. For 10 years in a row, H&P has received the top customer satisfaction ranking in the industry. This is driven by our commitment to service, but also our ability to deliver stellar performance with our Family of SolutionsTM.”
Operating Segment Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018
U.S. Land Operations:
Segment operating income increased by $2.3 million to $27.1 million sequentially. Positive operating results continue to be supported by sequential increases in both quarterly revenue days and average rig revenue per day. The segment’s depreciation expense for the quarter includes non-cash charges of $7.1 million for abandonments of used drilling rig components related to rig upgrades, compared to similar non-cash charges of $7.2 million during the first fiscal quarter of 2018.
The number of quarterly revenue days increased sequentially by approximately 2%. Adjusted average rig revenue per day increased by $544 to $22,711(4) as pricing continued to improve throughout the quarter. The average rig expense per day increased sequentially by $540 to $14,086. The corresponding adjusted average rig margin per day was roughly flat at $8,625(4) for the second fiscal quarter.
Offshore Operations:
Segment operating income decreased by $3.3 million to $5.4 million sequentially. The number of quarterly revenue days on H&P-owned platform rigs decreased sequentially by approximately 2%, and the average rig margin per day decreased sequentially by $2,871 to $9,504 primarily due to unfavorable adjustments to self-insurance expenses. Management contracts on customer-owned platform rigs contributed approximately $5.1 million to the segment’s operating income, compared to approximately $6.5 million during the prior quarter.
International Land Operations:
The segment had an operating loss this quarter as compared to operating income during the previous quarter. The $4.2 million sequential decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to favorable adjustments that benefited the prior quarter (ended December 31, 2017). Revenue days decreased during the quarter by 4% to 1,530. The average rig margin per day decreased by $2,818 to $8,533.
Operational Outlook for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2018
U.S. Land Operations:
- Quarterly revenue days expected to increase by approximately 7% sequentially
- Average rig revenue per day expected to be roughly $23,000 (excluding any impact from early termination revenue, including impact of labor cost adjustments)
- Average rig expense per day expected to be roughly $14,400 (including impact of labor cost adjustments)
Offshore Operations:
- Quarterly revenue days expected to increase by approximately 15% sequentially
- Average rig margin per day expected to be approximately $10,500
- Management contracts expected to generate approximately $4 to $5 million in operating income

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 (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands).
