Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP, Financial) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2009-09-30.
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. is primarily engaged in the exploration, production, and sale of crude oil and natural gas and in contractdrilling of oil and gas wells for others. These activities account for the major portion of its operating revenues. The company is also engaged in the ownership, development, and operation of commercial real estate. Helmerich & Payne Inc. has a market cap of $4.05 billion; its shares were traded at around $38.38 with a P/E ratio of 11.8 and P/S ratio of 2.1. The dividend yield of Helmerich & Payne Inc. stocks is 0.5%. Helmerich & Payne Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 7.9% over the past 10 years.
Our international land operations contributed approximately 13 percent ($237.4 million) of our consolidated operating revenues during fiscal 2009, compared with approximately 16 percent ($328.2 million) of consolidated operating revenues during fiscal 2008 and 20 percent ($320.3 million) in fiscal 2007. Rig utilization in fiscal 2009 was 68 percent, 82 percent in fiscal 2008 and 90 percent in fiscal 2007.
We worked exclusively for the Venezuelan state petroleum company, PDVSA and a PDVSA-owned affiliate, during fiscal 2009 and revenues from this work accounted for approximately 21 percent of international operating revenues. Revenues recognized from Venezuelan drilling operations contributed approximately 3 percent ($50.3 million) of our consolidated operating revenues in fiscal 2009 compared to 8 percent in both fiscal years 2008 and 2007 ($167.2 million in fiscal 2008 and $127.3 million in fiscal 2007). We determined that as of the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and forward, PDVSA no longer met the revenue recognition criteria as collectability became uncertain. As a result of this change, revenue of $57.9 million was not recorded in fiscal 2009. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the timing of collection of accounts receivables in U.S. dollars from PDVSA, during the second fiscal quarter of 2009, we decided to discontinue work as contracts expire. All of our eleven rigs were active in Venezuela at the end of 2008. At the end of fiscal 2009, one rig remained active and has since become idle. As a result, rig utilization in Venezuela decreased to approximately 64 percent in fiscal 2009 compared to approximately 97 percent during fiscal 2008 and approximately 92 percent in fiscal 2007. We will continue to pursue future drilling opportunities in Venezuela, but we do not expect to commit to new contracts until additional progress is made on pending accounts receivable and converting local currency to U.S. dollars. For additional information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
At the end of fiscal 2009, we had six rigs in Colombia. Our utilization rate was approximately 88 percent during fiscal 2009, approximately 87 percent during fiscal 2008 and approximately 100 percent during fiscal 2007.
