President and CEO John Lindsay commented, "The cyclical and
often volatile nature of the energy industry creates a unique set
of challenges for a company. Fiscal 2023 was no exception in that
regard. Rig demand was impacted by geopolitical and economic
uncertainties influencing the global crude oil market, and warm
winter weather was largely the culprit behind the volatility seen
in the U.S. natural gas market. However, H&P's long operational
experience combined with our differentiated actions during the
fiscal year, primarily our emphasis on customer value creation and
contract economics over market share, enabled the Company to rise
to meet these challenges by quickly adapting to new market
conditions, and maintain focus on achieving reasonable economic
returns.
"We believe an essential ingredient in achieving success is
having a multi-pronged approach to capital allocation. First and
foremost, we prioritize the Company's longstanding posture of a
strong financial position and fiscal prudence. Second, we look to
invest in internal projects with attractive returns so that we
continue to lead the industry in the U.S. and develop future growth
internationally. Finally, we seek to return capital to shareholders
through an established base dividend, augmented by supplemental
dividends and share repurchases as those opportunities exist.
During fiscal 2023, we deployed approximately $845 million of
capital, consisting of roughly $395 million in capital expenditures
and approximately $450 million returned to shareholders.
"Our rig activity during the fourth fiscal quarter trended as
expected, reaching a trough late in the quarter, but exiting at 147
rigs, which was at the high end of our estimated range. Moving into
the fiscal 2024 first quarter, the contractual churn is higher than
expected, which has had two distinct effects. First, the activity
level has remained relatively stable thus far in the quarter rather
than increasing. Second, we are expecting to add 3-9 incremental
rigs during the quarter, exiting the quarter in the range of
150-156 rigs. We do anticipate adding additional rigs in the fiscal
2024 second quarter as well. While the industry super-spec rig
count declined during 2023, we believe it will not need to increase
substantially before utilization really tightens again.
"Our direct margins held up relatively well during the quarter
despite the decline in rig activity that was prevalent for much of
the fiscal year. The level of direct margins the Company achieved
this year corresponds to our focus on contract economics and
persistent efforts to translate and monetize the value we create
for customers versus a prioritization of market share. We have
confidence in our ability to drive value for customers through our
operations and technology solutions, and it is the consistent and
reliable delivery of those outcomes that ultimately drive market
share.
"A major determinate in contract economics are the operational
costs involved in providing our services. Over the past two years,
we have experienced increases in operational expenses not only due
to rising labor costs and consumable inventory cost inflation, but
also due to the hidden cost-acceleration on equipment related to
running H&P's FlexRig® fleet harder than ever before to achieve
the well designs, lateral lengths and the drilling efficiencies our
customers demand. While inflation related to labor and consumable
inventory items has abated, performance and efficiency gains
require we continue to push the service intensity of our rigs and
equipment. Furthermore, we are also experiencing inflationary
pressures in our non-operational expenses particularly around labor
and third-party services, which are the drivers behind our
projected increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
"For our international growth strategy, fiscal 2023 marked a
year of successes that we expect to develop over multiple years.
First, we completed the establishment of our Middle East hub
allowing us to better support our growing operations and respond to
tender opportunities in the region; second, we sent a super-spec
rig to Australia, where it has been operating quite successfully
for the past quarter demonstrating H&P's value on a new
continent; and third, we were successful in a Saudi Aramco tender
for which we plan to export a super-spec rig in early 2024 to
commence operations during the back half of the year. We view our
execution on these opportunities as initial steppingstones on a
path towards future growth. In fiscal 2024, we plan to build on
this momentum and continue to deploy capital for future growth
opportunities. Combined with our relatively stable operations in
Argentina and Colombia, we are excited about the potential
contribution from our international operations in the years to
come."
Senior Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, "While
fiscal 2023 did not unfold as originally planned, our strong
financial position and organizational dexterity enabled us to pivot
and still achieve much of what we set out to do. One of the major
accomplishments was our ability to maintain healthy margins in a
softer activity environment. As such, we will continue to maintain
our focus on earning the appropriate margins to generate returns in
excess of our cost of capital regardless of the market cycle.
Another major accomplishment was the execution of our 2023
supplemental shareholder return plan, which returned cash to
shareholders across three facets - our established base dividends
of $1.00/share, the 2023 supplemental dividends of $0.94/share and
opportunistic share repurchases. Combined in total these returns
represented approximately 10% of the average market capitalization
of the Company during fiscal 2023.
"Looking out to fiscal 2024, the structure of our capital
allocation strategy remains substantially the same as it did in
fiscal 2023 - invest prudently in the business and provide returns
to shareholders. Our capex plans allow us to maintain and further
invest in our market leading FlexRig® fleet in the U.S. and
continue to deploy capital internationally to support our growth
and diversification strategy. Shareholder returns will take shape
under our 2024 supplemental shareholder return plan, where, in
addition to our established annual base dividend of $1.00/share, we
currently plan to provide another roughly $0.68/share supplemental
dividend based on current market conditions and our outlook. Total
supplemental dividend payments are expected to represent
approximately 50% of cash flow generation after capex commitments
and our base dividend. The combination of the base and supplemental
dividend as projected, currently represents a dividend yield of
roughly 4%, which sustains our very competitive yield compared to
our industry. We believe the remaining cash flow of approximately
$68 million coupled with our cash and short-term investments on
hand at fiscal year-end 2023 of approximately $350 million provides
us with ample flexibility for capital allocation if such
opportunities arise."
John Lindsay concluded, “We are proud of what we achieved this
fiscal year, and remain cognizant that we will need to continue
navigating through uncertainties in the coming quarters.
Nevertheless, we enter fiscal 2024 with a sense of optimism around
the U.S. market and international opportunities, as well as what we
can deliver to both customers and shareholders. Furthermore, we
believe the outlook over the next several years is constructive for
our industry and as such H&P remains ready and will continue to
take actions to ensure future success for the Company."
Operating Segment Results for the
Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023
North America Solutions:
This segment had operating income of $128.5 million compared to
operating income of $169.5 million during the previous quarter. The
decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to a
continued decline in activity levels during the quarter, which also
caused direct margin(3) to decrease by $38.1 million to $238.8
million, sequentially. Despite an increase in revenue per day,
direct margin(3) per day decreased quarter over quarter due to a
higher expense per day.
International Solutions:
This segment had an operating loss of $5.0 million compared to
an operating loss of $1.4 million during the previous quarter. The
increase in operating loss is primarily attributable to pulling
forward some spending related to recommissioning rigs earmarked for
export, additional expat expenses and a sequentially larger foreign
currency loss. Current quarter results included a $4.6 million
foreign currency loss compared to a $1.5 million foreign currency
loss in the previous quarter.
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
This segment had operating income of $4.7 million compared to
operating income of $4.7 million during the previous quarter.
Direct margin(3) for the quarter were $7.4 million compared to $7.3
million in the previous quarter.
Operational Outlook for the First
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
North America Solutions:
- We expect North America Solutions direct margins(3) to be
between $235-$255 million
- We expect to exit the quarter between approximately 150-156
contracted rigs
International Solutions:
- We expect International Solutions direct margins(3) to be
between $7-$10 million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or
losses
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
- We expect Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins(3) to be
between $3-$7 million
Other Estimates for Fiscal Year
2024
- Gross capital expenditures are expected to be approximately

range of $1.1 to $1.3 million and planned walking conversions
- approximately one-third expected for International Solutions,
including three super-spec upgrades and planned walking conversions
and other modifications to rigs earmarked for export from the U.S.
fleet
- remainder for corporate and information technology
expenditures

(1) The Company's planned base and supplemental dividends
represent our current intention of returning capital to
shareholders during fiscal year 2024 based upon our outlook of
market and industry conditions at present, including our current
expectations surrounding rig pricing, activity levels, margins,
cash generation, capital expenditures and other investment
opportunities. In determining whether to proceed with the fiscal
year 2024 base dividends and the supplemental dividends with
respect to each quarter, management and the Board of Directors will
continue to review the Company's financial position and performance
together with relative market conditions at that time in order for
the Board of Directors to determine the amount, timing and approval
of any dividend payments.
(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 the Company's core
business operations. See Non-GAAP Measurements.
(3) Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is
defined as operating revenues (less reimbursements) less direct
operating expenses (less reimbursements) 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 first quarter of fiscal 2024 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 items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and
variability of the nature and amount of future items and
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.

(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. 92 days for the three months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 91 days for the three months
ended June 30, 2023 and 365 days for the year ended September 30,
2023 and 2022).
(5)
Defined as the number of rigs generating
revenue at the applicable end date of the time period.

Segment operating income (loss) for all segments is a non-GAAP
financial measure of the Company’s performance, as it excludes gain
on sale of assets, corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses, corporate restructuring charges, and corporate
depreciation. The Company considers segment operating income (loss)
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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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) before income taxes as reported
on the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

(**)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
