Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) reported a net loss of $5 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, from operating revenues of $468 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $51 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, on revenues of $410 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The net losses per diluted share for the second and first quarters of fiscal year 2022 include $0.12 and $(0.03), respectively, of after-tax gains and losses comprised of select items(2). For the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, select items(2) were comprised of:

  • $0.13 of after-tax gains pertaining to non-cash fair market adjustments to our equity investments
  • $(0.01) of after-tax losses pertaining to losses on sale of assets

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $4 million in the prior quarter.

President and CEO John Lindsay commented, "Just when the energy industry is beginning to normalize, another geopolitical event and its immediate and lasting ramifications provide a sharp reminder of how critical abundant, cost effective and secure energy is to sustaining the broader global economy. Given the industry's experience in recent years we are not at all surprised to find our customers remaining rational and disciplined with regards to their capital expenditures, even in the face of spiking commodity prices. Holding that line is something we believe is crucial to creating a healthy and sustainable industry over the longer-term.

"During the quarter our active North America Solutions rig count increased in line with expectations and exited the quarter at 171 rigs. The industry rig count increase in the March quarter continued to shrink the availability of super-spec rigs that have worked at some point in the last two years, compounding the pre-existing supply-demand constraints in the market. As we have previously noted, the value proposition H&P brings to its customers through technology-driven efficiency and wellbore quality combined with the current market dynamics is accelerating improvements in contract economics. Like our customers, we expect to have disciplined capex spending, consistent with current industry trends, and as a consequence, the underlying supply-demand tightness will likely persist. We believe these conditions could provide a pathway to achieve significant improvement in average spot contract revenues. Our ultimate aim is to generate returns more in line with the high-value drilling solutions we are providing to our customers.

"The outlook for international markets remains positive with additional developments and prospects progressing albeit it at a much slower pace than what we have experienced domestically. In South America, Argentina and Colombia remain areas of focus and we have begun to re-contract rigs located in those countries. In the Middle East, our strategy and opportunity set is a bit different. We started delivering the rigs we sold to ADNOC Drilling and are moving forward with the strong business alliance we established with them. We are also actively pursuing opportunities to export some of our idle super-spec capacity into that region. While we are optimistic about our strategy in the Middle East, we are also keenly aware that this is a long-term play and it will take time for opportunities to emerge and fully develop."

Senior Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, "While a company's financial position and cash flows are tested during a declining and weak market, its fiscal discipline is often tested during a recovering and strong market. At this time, we remain fully committed to a long-standing, fiscally sound and disciplined approach to capital allocation and hence we are not compelled to adjust our previously established capex budget range of $250 to $270 million for fiscal 2022.

"The economics for our spot contracts are improving and we expect similar improvements for our term contracts as they are renewed or move into the spot market in the coming quarters. As John alluded to, current contracting economics are moving our financial returns higher and the resulting cash generation will enhance our strong financial position furthering our ability to take advantage of various opportunities, including capital allocation to shareholders."

John Lindsay concluded, “We continue to be encouraged as the industry rebounds; however, we are reminded, particularly with elevated commodity prices, of the industry track record to add excessive capacity to the market and the longer-term negative consequences that could ultimately result from those actions if not carefully considered. The axiom, "Change is the only constant in life" keeps us mindful of the changing industry dynamics and the long-term challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I would also add that another constant at H&P has been the passion and innovative spirit of our hardworking employees, who continue to lead the way forward within our industry and partnering with our customers to create value for our shareholders."

Operating Segment Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022

North America Solutions:

This segment had operating income of $1.3 million compared to an operating loss of $28.9 million during the previous quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher activity levels and improving contract economics during the quarter, while the prior quarter was adversely impacted by an impairment for fair market adjustments for equipment held for sale and a restructuring charge. Absent the select item(2) impacts on the previous quarter, this segment's operating income improved by $27.8 million on a sequential basis.

Direct margins(1) increased by $30.0 million to $114.4 million as both revenues and expenses increased sequentially. Operating results were still negatively impacted by the costs associated with reactivating rigs; $14.2 million in the second fiscal quarter compared to $20.5 million in the previous quarter.

International Solutions:

This segment had an operating loss of $0.8 million compared to an operating income of $8.0 million during the previous quarter. The decrease in operating income related to a contractual dispute with a customer that benefited the first fiscal quarter by $16.4 million, partially offset by a $2.5 million impairment recognized in the prior quarter as well. Absent these select items(2) for the previous quarter, this segment's operating loss narrowed by $5.0 million on a sequential basis.

Direct margins(1) during the second fiscal quarter were $2.3 million compared to $13.0 million during the previous quarter. Excluding the aforementioned $16.4 million settlement during the first fiscal quarter, direct operating margins(1) increased by $5.6 million on a sequential basis. Current quarter results included a $2.4 million foreign currency loss primarily related to our South American operations compared to a $1.0 million foreign currency loss the previous quarter.

Offshore Gulf of Mexico:

This segment had operating income of $5.3 million compared to operating income of $5.5 million during the previous quarter. Direct margins(1) for the quarter were $8.3 million compared to $8.6 million in the prior quarter.

Operational Outlook for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022

North America Solutions:

  • We expect North America Solutions direct margins(1) to be between $150-$165 million, which includes approximately $5.5 million in estimated reactivation costs
  • We expect to exit the quarter at approximately 175 contracted rigs

International Solutions:

  • We expect International Solutions direct margins(1) to be between $(3)-$(1) million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or losses
  • International Solutions direct margins(1) are expected to be negatively impacted by costs incurred to move a rig from the U.S. as part of our Middle East hub strategy

Offshore Gulf of Mexico:

  • We expect Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins(1) to be between $7-$9 million

Other Estimates for Fiscal Year 2022

  • Gross capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $250 to $270 million; approximately 50% expected for maintenance, including tubular purchases, roughly 35% expected for skidding to walking conversions and approximately 15% for corporate and information technology. Ongoing asset sales include reimbursements for lost and damaged tubulars and sales of other used drilling equipment that offset a portion of the gross capital expenditures and are still expected to total approximately $45 million in fiscal year 2022.
  • Depreciation and amortization expenses are still expected to be approximately $405 million
  • Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2022 are still expected to be roughly $27 million
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2022 are now expected to be just over $180 million

Select Items Included in Net Income per Diluted Share

Second quarter of fiscal year 2022 net loss of $(0.05) per diluted share included $0.12 in after-tax gains comprised of the following:

  • $0.13 of non-cash after-tax gains related to fair market value adjustments to equity investments
  • $(0.00) of after-tax losses related to restructuring charges
  • $(0.01) of after-tax losses related to the sale of assets

First quarter of fiscal year 2022 net loss of $(0.48) per diluted share included $(0.03) in after-tax losses comprised of the following:

  • $0.13 of after-tax gains related to a settlement of a previous contractual dispute with an international customer
  • $0.38 of non-cash after-tax gains related to fair market value adjustments to equity investments
  • $(0.01) of after-tax losses related to restructuring charges
  • $(0.03) of after-tax losses related to the sale of assets
  • $(0.03) of non-cash after-tax losses for impairments related to fair market value adjustments to decommissioned rigs and equipment that are held for sale
  • $(0.47) of after-tax losses related to a debt make-whole premium and write-off of debt discount and issuance costs

(1) Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses and is included as a supplemental disclosure we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. See — Non-GAAP Measurements for a reconciliation of segment operating income(loss) to direct margin. Expected direct margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain item. There, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of expected direct margin to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

(2) Select items are considered non-GAAP metrics and are included as a supplemental disclosure as the Company believes identifying and excluding select items is useful in assessing and understanding current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time involving previous and subsequent periods and/or forecasting future periods results. Select items are excluded as they are deemed to be outside of the Company's core business operations. See — Non-GAAP Measurements.

1)

These operating metrics and financial data, including average active rigs, are provided to allow investors to analyze the various components of segment financial results in terms of activity, utilization and other key results. Management uses these metrics to analyze historical segment financial results and as the key inputs for forecasting and budgeting segment financial results.

2)

Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses and is included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. See — Non-GAAP Measurements below for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to direct margin.

3)

Defined as the number of contractual days we recognized revenue for during the period.

4)

Active rigs generate revenue for the Company; accordingly, 'average active rigs' represents the average number of rigs generating revenue during the applicable time period. This metric is calculated by dividing revenue days by total days in the applicable period (i.e. 90 days).

5)

Defined as the number of rigs generating revenue at the applicable end date of the time period.

(**)Select items and adjusted net loss are considered non-GAAP metrics. The Company believes identifying and excluding select items is useful in assessing and understanding current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time involving previous and subsequent periods and/or forecasting future period results. Select items are excluded as they are deemed to be outside of the Company's core business operations.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF DIRECT MARGIN

Direct margin is considered a non-GAAP metric. We define "direct margin" as operating revenues less direct operating expenses. Direct margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. Direct margin is not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures.

The following table reconciles direct margin to segment operating income (loss), which we believe is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to direct margin.
