Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
H&P anticipates exiting the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 with between 147-153 active rigs in the North America Solutions segment. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 are expected to range between $290 and $325 million.
Positive Outlook
- North America Solutions direct margins are expected to be between $260-$280 million.
- Offshore Gulf of Mexico direct margins are expected to be between $7-$9 million.
- The company plans to allocate approximately $100 million to its annual base dividend of $1/share.
- Planned capital expenditures are expected to range between $290 and $325 million, representing a sizeable sequential decrease from H&P's fiscal 2024 spend.
- The anticipated reduction in the planned fiscal 2025 capex relative to fiscal 2024, which we currently believe will be approximately $190 million, is projected to create a significant increase in the Company's projected free cash flow
Challenges Ahead
- International Solutions direct margins are expected to be between $(2)-$2 million, exclusive of any foreign exchange gains or losses.
- Incremental demand for rigs is fairly matched with rigs rolling from existing commitments, leading to a relatively flat rig count.
