GlobeNewswire
2012-07-27
TULSA, Okla., July 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helmerich & Payne, Inc.
(NYSE:HP) reported income from continuing operations of $149,943,000
($1.38 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $819,785,000 for
its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to income from
continuing operations of $109,828,000 ($1.01 per diluted share) from
operating revenues of $644,095,000 during last year's third fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2011. Included in this year's and last year's
third fiscal quarter income from continuing operations were $0.01 and
$0.02 per share, respectively, of after-tax gains related to the sale
of used drilling equipment and investment securities. Net income for
the third fiscal quarter of 2012 was $149,925,000 ($1.38 per diluted
share), compared to net income of $109,826,000 ($1.01 per diluted
share) during last year's third fiscal quarter.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported income
from continuing operations of $424,003,000 ($3.88 per diluted share)
from operating revenues of $2,322,355,000 compared with income from
continuing operations of $313,154,000 ($2.87 per diluted share) from
operating revenues of $1,843,143,000 during the nine months ended June
30, 2011. Included in income from continuing operations for the first
nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011 were approximately $0.08 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
nine months of fiscal 2012 was $423,930,000 ($3.88 per diluted share),
compared to net income of $312,766,000 ($2.87 per diluted share) during
the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Chairman and CEO Hans Helmerich commented, "We are pleased to report
yet another all-time record level of quarterly income from continuing
operations. Including the previous record level reported for the first
fiscal quarter, this marks the second time that we announce record
breaking results this year. Nonetheless, the pronounced decline in oil
prices has impacted drilling market conditions and prospects. Our
customers appear to be adjusting their budgets accordingly, and demand
for drilling rigs and services seems to be softening. In the current
rig count environment, operators may even become more focused in their
efforts to enhance drilling efficiencies and reduce total well costs.
We would expect the industry movement toward more complex well designs,
faster cycle time, greater focus on safety and the use of innovative
technology to continue to support H&P as a preferred drilling services
provider. Our strengths are well aligned with these trends, which
should allow us to continue to successfully provide greater value to
our customers through the cycles."
Segment operating income for U.S. land operations was $235,684,000 for
the third fiscal quarter of 2012, compared with $176,832,000 for last
year's third fiscal quarter and $209,959,000 for this year's second
fiscal quarter. The sequential increase in segment operating income was
attributable to a continued increase in activity and revenue combined
with a decline in per rig expenses. As compared to this year's second
fiscal quarter, the number of revenue days for the segment sequentially
increased by over two percent to 21,977, and the average rig revenue
per day increased by $471 to $28,096 during the third fiscal quarter of
2012. The average rig expense per day for the segment declined by $489,
and the average rig margin per day increased by $960 to $14,759 during
this year's third fiscal quarter. The rig revenue and margin per day
averages included approximately $140 per day of early termination fees
during the third fiscal quarter. These fees were attributable to four
rigs that had an average remaining term duration of 45 days. Rig
utilization for the segment was 89% for this year's third fiscal
quarter, compared with 87% for last year's third fiscal quarter and 91%
for this year's second fiscal quarter. At June 30, 2012, the Company's
U.S. land segment had 246 contracted rigs (including 164 under term
contracts) and 30 idle rigs.
Segment operating income for the Company's offshore operations was
$7,720,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 2012, compared with
$12,944,000 for last year's third fiscal quarter and $9,818,000 for
this year's second fiscal quarter. The sequential decline in segment
operating income resulted from a lower level of activity and a lower
average rig margin per day. The number of revenue days for this year's
third fiscal quarter sequentially declined by approximately three
percent to 606, and the average rig margin per day for this year's
third fiscal quarter was $16,901 as compared to $20,561 for this year's
second quarter.
The Company's international land segment operating income was
$6,275,000 for this year's third fiscal quarter, compared with a loss
of $624,000 for last year's third fiscal quarter and a loss of $974,000
for this year's second fiscal quarter. The sequential increase in
segment operating income was attributable to increased activity and
margins during this year's third fiscal quarter. The average rig margin
per day increased to $7,704 in the third fiscal quarter of 2012 from
$4,884 in the second fiscal quarter of 2012. Also as compared to this
year's second fiscal quarter, the number of revenue days for the third
fiscal quarter increased by approximately five percent to 1,852.
The Company repurchased approximately 1.75 million shares of Helmerich
& Payne stock during the third fiscal quarter at an average cost of
approximately $44.40 per share. Also during the third fiscal quarter
(and as previously announced), the Company entered into a credit
agreement establishing a $300 million senior unsecured revolving credit
facility.
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. is primarily a contract drilling company. As of
July 27, 2012, the Company's existing fleet included 279 land rigs in
the U.S., 29 international land rigs and nine offshore platform rigs.

H&P-designed and operated FlexRigs(R)* under long-term contracts with

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).
