President and CEO John Lindsay commented, "Our financial results for the third fiscal quarter continue to demonstrate the resilience of our strategy in the North America Solutions segment. Once again, it was particularly notable, that despite a more sizeable decline in the overall industry rig count, our NAS active rig count remained relatively stable during the third fiscal quarter which is a reflection of H&P’s unyielding focus on providing value to our customers. On the international front, the Company's first super-spec FlexRig® arrived in Saudi Arabia, which is another step in our strategy to increase our operational presence in the region.
"Macro headwinds, both directly and indirectly related to the oil and gas industry, persist and are still causing a more cautionary outlook for the industry. With the cyclical nature of our industry, we are hopeful that these will subside and bring about a more positive outlook for the industry in the coming quarters. Contractual churn remains prevalent in the U.S. market, but our people are doing a good job managing through this. We expect the churn to continue and as we have seen in recent summers, we also anticipate our active rig count to be flat with perhaps a modest incline heading into our fiscal year-end.
"Activity levels in the International Solutions segment in the fourth fiscal quarter are expected to remain consistent with the third fiscal quarter with the exception that the first of the eight Saudi Arabia rigs is expected to commence work in the fiscal fourth quarter once contractual acceptance procedures are completed. The preparation work for the remaining seven super-spec rigs is progressing as planned with export dates expected through the balance of the calendar year. We are looking forward to working with Saudi Aramco and building a long-term, valuable relationship with our new customer.
Senior Vice President and CFO Mark Smith also commented, "Currently, we expect our active NAS rig count in the fourth fiscal quarter to remain consistent with our third fiscal quarter average. Accordingly, our NAS direct margin guidance also remains relatively consistent with the level recognized during the third fiscal quarter. Contract economics remain the cornerstone of our NAS strategy and we do not anticipate the same level of volatility or correlation to overall rig counts that we have experienced in the past. Recent quarterly results continue to provide evidence of that.
“The Company returned another $42 million to shareholders in the form of base and supplemental dividends during the quarter and the Board of Directors declared the fourth and final installment of the supplemental dividend under the 2024 Supplemental Shareholder Return Plan. Looking ahead, we have just begun the process of establishing our fiscal 2025 capital budget and preliminarily we believe the projected maintenance and walking rig conversions capex will be similar to fiscal 2024 levels with the biggest swing factor related to any international tender awards that would result in additional capex. As part of its budgeting process for the fiscal year ahead, the Company continuously evaluates the uses of cash and capital allocation priorities.”
John Lindsay concluded, “The Company will continue to execute as it always has with a customer-centric approach and safety focus, which is ingrained in our Company culture. We look forward to commencing work in Saudi Arabia and taking advantage of additional opportunities as those arise in the coming quarters."

Operating Segment Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
North America Solutions:
This segment had operating income of $163.4 million compared to operating income of $147.1 million during the previous quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to a higher direct margin and the prior quarter experiencing higher depreciation and research and development expenses. Direct margin(2) increased by $6.0 million to $277.4 million sequentially.
International Solutions:
This segment had an operating loss of $4.8 million compared to operating income of $3.6 million during the previous quarter. The decrease in operating income was mainly due to recommissioning expenses for rigs that will be exported to Saudi Arabia and related start-up costs. Direct margin(2) during the third fiscal quarter was $0.4 million compared to $8.4 million during the previous quarter. Current quarter results included a $2.1 million foreign currency loss compared to a $0.5 million foreign currency loss in the previous quarter.
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
This segment had operating income of $5.0 million compared to operating income of $0.1 million during the previous quarter. Direct margin(2) for the quarter was $7.6 million compared to $2.9 million in the previous quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to rigs moving to full operating rates earlier than planned.
Operational Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
North America Solutions:
•We expect North America Solutions direct margins(2) to be between $260-$280 million
•We expect to exit the quarter between approximately 147-153 contracted rigs
International Solutions:
•We expect International Solutions direct margins(2) to be between $(2)-$2 million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or losses
•Projected International Solutions direct margins(2) for the fourth fiscal quarter are inclusive of approximately $6-$8 million of rig preparation and start-up expense related to our Saudi Arabia operations, higher than previous guidance as some costs shifted from the third fiscal quarter into the fourth fiscal quarter
Offshore Gulf of Mexico:
•We expect Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins(2) to be between $6-$8 million
Other Estimates for Fiscal Year 2024
•Gross capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $500 million;
▪Ongoing asset sales that include reimbursements for lost and damaged tubulars and sales of other used drilling equipment offset a portion of the gross capital expenditures, and are now expected to total approximately $45 million in fiscal year 2024
•Depreciation for fiscal year 2024 is now expected to be approximately $400 million
•Research and development expenses for fiscal year 2024 are now expected to be roughly $40 million
•General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2024 are now expected to be approximately $250 million
•Cash taxes to be paid in fiscal year 2024 are still expected to be approximately $150-$200 million

(1) 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.
(2) 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 third 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 reimbursements) less direct operating expenses (less reimbursements) 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. 91 days for the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, 274 days for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 273 days for the nine months ended June 30, 2023).
(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 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.
Income from discontinued operations was presented as a separate line item on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023. To conform with the current fiscal year presentation, we reclassified amounts previously presented in Income from discontinued operations, which were not material, to Other within Other income (expense) on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
The following table reconciles operating income per the information above to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF DIRECT MARGIN
Direct margin is considered a non-GAAP metric. We define "direct margin" as operating revenues (less reimbursements) less direct operating expenses (less reimbursements). 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.
