President and CEO John Lindsay commented, “H&P’s leadership position in the super-spec rigs space contributed to another strong quarter of operational results. In accordance with the trend toward greater well complexity,  we  expect to see additional demand for the Company’s super-spec FlexRigs heading into our new fiscal year particularly as customers continue to push increased lateral lengths and their use of pad drilling.  Our new lines of technology-based solutions gained further traction during the quarter as more and more customers realized the value these services provide.

“The super-spec rig market in the U.S. is effectively fully utilized and we continue to see indications that additional demand is forthcoming, even as oil prices have recently moved lower.  This robust demand is supportive of the overall pricing environment and there is a  persistent, upward pressure on dayrates primarily as a result of the value proposition we are able to deliver to our customers.  We upgraded and converted 54 FlexRigs to super-spec during fiscal 2018, which is more than any company in the industry. This brought the total number of super-spec FlexRigs in our U.S. land fleet to 207 at the close of the fiscal year.  We are experiencing further demand for these rigs and expect to maintain an average upgrade/conversion cadence of 12 rigs per quarter for the next few quarters.    Our ongoing investment in these upgrades generates good returns for our shareholders and enhances the overall value of the H&P fleet.

“We have long noted the benefits of our uniform FlexRig fleet design from a safety, operations and efficiency standpoint, and have further capitalized on that design benefit as a digital platform with the roll out of our FlexApp™ solutions  during the latter half of fiscal 2018.  These FlexApps are software-based applications that can be layered on top of our drilling control systems and utilized to improve reliability and performance, increasing the value proposition of H&P’s Family of Solutions™.  

“The wellbore quality and placement services provided by our technology subsidiaries, MOTIVE® Drilling Technologies, Inc. (“Motive”) and Magnetic Variation Services, LLC (“MagVAR”) also continue to gain momentum with customers.  Combining these disruptive technologies with our digital FlexRig platform, we have recently completed initial beta customer testing of our AutoSlideSM technology with very promising results.  AutoSlide takes an evolutionary step in drilling automation by eliminating human intervention during slide operations for all sections of a horizontal well, resulting in greater reliability and performance for customers.”

Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, “Throughout this fiscal year our results and cash flows from operations have shown sequential improvement.  These improvements were not only the result of our employees providing the best possible service to our customers, but also by our investments in super-spec upgrades and value-added technologies.  We expect a similar environment in fiscal 2019 and have set our initial capex budget reflective of those expectations. The increase in our capex budget is driven by continued opportunities to invest in our current FlexRig fleet along with further planned rig reactivations and super-spec upgrades.

“One of the cornerstones of H&P’s success has been its attention to maintaining a strong financial position.  We plan to continue in that vein by keeping an appropriate store of liquidity and a balance sheet that can weather the cyclical nature of our business.  The Company recently refreshed its revolving credit facility by extending the term and by expanding its size to $750 million. This represents a significant increase over the previous facility and is more appropriately sized to our Company’s operations.  Given our operational and capex outlook for fiscal 2019 we do not currently anticipate utilizing this facility, but see it as a prudent step for our capital structure.”

John Lindsay concluded, “The results we’ve been able to achieve as a Company this year would not have been possible without the dedication and determination of our employees.  The Company is in a superb position for the coming year.”

Operating Segment Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2018

 

U.S. Land Operations:

 

Segment operating income increased by $30.2 million to $64.5 million sequentially.  The increase in operating results was primarily driven  by sequential increases in both quarterly revenue days and average rig margin per day.  The number of quarterly revenue days increased sequentially by approximately 6%.  Adjusted average rig revenue per day increased by $921 or 4% to $24,321(1) as pricing continued to improve throughout the quarter.

 

The average rig expense per day decreased sequentially by $825 to $14,109 as the prior quarter was impacted unfavorably by certain one-time costs combined with favorable adjustments to self-insurance expenses that benefited the fourth fiscal quarter.  Corresponding adjusted average rig margin per day increased roughly 21% to $10,212(1)

 

The segment’s depreciation expense for the quarter includes non-cash charges of $13.9 million for abandonments and accelerated depreciation of used drilling rig components related to rig upgrades, compared to similar non-cash charges of $7.0 million during the third fiscal quarter of 2018.

 

Offshore Operations:

 

Segment operating income increased by $4.4 million to $8.2 million sequentially.  The number of quarterly revenue days on H&P-owned platform rigs decreased sequentially by approximately 4%,  while the average rig margin per day increased sequentially by $6,766 to $11,452 primarily due to higher self-insurance expenses and rig start-up costs incurred in the prior quarter.    Management contracts on customer-owned platform rigs contributed approximately $5.5 million to the segment’s operating income, compared to approximately $4.8 million during the prior quarter. 

 

International Land Operations:

 

The segment had an operating loss of $7.9 million this quarter as compared to operating income of $4.3 million during the previous quarter.  The $12.0 million sequential decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to asset impairments resulting from the Company ceasing operations in Ecuador.  Revenue days increased during the quarter by 3% to 1,818 while the average rig margin per day decreased by $1,336 to $8,658. 

 

Operational Outlook for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019

 

U.S. Land Operations:

·

Quarterly revenue days expected to increase by approximately 4-5% sequentially,  implying a likely exit to the quarter at between 243 – 247 active rigs

·

Average rig revenue per day expected to be between  $24,500-$25,000 (excluding any impact from early termination revenue)

·

Average rig expense per day expected to be between $14,500-$14,900

 

Offshore Operations:

·

Quarterly revenue days expected to decrease by approximately 5% sequentially, representing an average rig count of 5-6 rigs for the quarter as one rig undergoes planned maintenance on its offshore platform

·

Average rig margin per day expected to be approximately $8,500-$11,000

·

Management contracts expected to generate approximately  $4-5 million in operating income

News Release

November 15, 2018

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, acquisition related costs, 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 (loss) per the information above to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands).

(1) The above term contract coverage excludes long-term contracts for which the Company received early contract termination notifications as of 11/15/18. Given notifications as of 11/15/18, the Company expects to generate approximately $2 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 from early terminations corresponding to long-term contracts and related to its U.S. Land segment. All of the above rig contracts have original terms equal to or in excess of six months and include provisions for early termination fees.
