NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Interim Financial Information
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Helmerich & Payne, Inc. and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company gains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income, expenses and other comprehensive income or loss of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the fiscal year are included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are subject to potential credit risk, and certain of our cash accounts carry balances greater than the federally insured limits.
We had restricted cash of $53.2 million and $27.2 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $36.9 million and $19.2 million at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the total at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, is related to the acquisition of drilling technology companies, and $52.6 million and $35.8 million, respectively, represents an amount management has elected to restrict for the purpose of potential insurance claims in our wholly-owned captive insurance companies. The restricted amounts are primarily invested in short-term money market securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, clarifications of ASUs listed below, immaterial, or already adopted by the Company.
The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and our analysis of the effects on our financial statements:

Standard | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with conversion and other options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own equity (subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts In An Entity’s Own Equity | This ASU reduces the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. | October 1, 2022 | We adopted this ASU, as required, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adoption did not have a material effect on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions | The amendments in this update clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value (i.e., the entity would not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction). Furthermore, an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions will be required: (1) the fair value of the equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and (3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. | October 1, 2022 | We early adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adoption did not have a material effect on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Self-Insurance
Our wholly-owned insurance captives (the "Captives") incurred direct operating costs consisting primarily of adjustments to accruals for estimated losses of $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.7 million and $(0.4) million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and rig and casualty insurance premiums of $10.9 million and $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively, and $20.9 million and $16.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. These operating costs were recorded within drilling services operating expenses in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Intercompany premium revenues recorded by the Captives during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $17.7 million and $13.2 million respectively, and $34.1 million and $26.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which were eliminated upon consolidation. These intercompany insurance premiums are reflected as segment operating expenses within the North America Solutions, Offshore Gulf of Mexico, and International Solutions reportable operating segments and are reflected as intersegment sales within "Other." The Company self-insures employee health plan exposures in excess of employee deductibles. Starting in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Captive insurer issued a stop-loss program that will reimburse the Company's health plan for claims that exceed $50,000. This program is reviewed at the end of each policy year by an outside actuary. Our medical stop loss operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and $5.3 million and $6.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
International Solutions Drilling Risks
International Solutions drilling operations may significantly contribute to our revenues and net operating income (loss). There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully conduct such operations, and a failure to do so may have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Also, the success of our International Solutions operations will be subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control. These contingencies include general and regional economic conditions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, modified exchange controls, changes in international regulatory requirements and international employment issues, risk of expropriation of real and personal property and the burden of complying with foreign laws. Additionally, in the event that extended labor strikes occur or a country experiences significant political, economic or social instability, we could experience shortages in labor and/or material and supplies necessary to operate some of our drilling rigs, thereby potentially causing an adverse material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have also experienced certain risks specific to our Argentine operations. In Argentina, while our dayrate is denominated in U.S. dollars, we are paid the equivalent in Argentine pesos. The Argentine branch of one of our second-tier subsidiaries remits U.S. dollars to its U.S. parent by converting the Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars through the Argentine Foreign Exchange Market and repatriating the U.S. dollars. Argentina also has a history of implementing currency controls that restrict the conversion and repatriation of U.S. dollars. In September 2020, Argentina implemented additional currency controls in an effort to preserve Argentina's U.S. dollar reserves. As a result of these currency controls, our ability to remit funds from our Argentine subsidiary to its U.S. parent has been limited. In the past, the Argentine government has also instituted price controls on crude oil, diesel and gasoline prices and instituted an exchange rate freeze in connection with those prices. These price controls and an exchange rate freeze could be instituted again in the future. Further, there are additional concerns regarding Argentina's debt burden, notwithstanding Argentina's restructuring deal with international bondholders in August 2020, as Argentina attempts to manage its substantial sovereign debt issues. These concerns could further negatively impact Argentina's economy and adversely affect our Argentine operations. Argentina’s economy is considered highly inflationary, which is defined as cumulative inflation rates exceeding 100 percent in the most recent three-year period based on inflation data published by the respective governments. Nonetheless, all of our foreign subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars with gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions included in current results of operations.
We recorded aggregate foreign currency losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 respectively, and $2.4 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. In the future, we may incur larger currency devaluations, foreign exchange restrictions or other difficulties repatriating U.S. dollars from Argentina or elsewhere, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31, 2023, our cash balance in Argentina was $16.3 million.
Because of the impact of local laws, our future operations in certain areas may be conducted through entities in which local citizens own interests and through entities (including joint ventures) in which we hold only a minority interest or pursuant to arrangements under which we conduct operations under contract to local entities. While we believe that neither operating through such entities nor pursuant to such arrangements would have a material adverse effect on our operations or revenues, there can be no assurance that we will in all cases be able to structure or restructure our operations to conform to local law (or the administration thereof) on terms acceptable to us.

Although we attempt to minimize the potential impact of such risks by operating in more than one geographical area, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 7.4 percent and 7.5 percent of our operating revenues were generated from international locations compared to 5.9 percent and 7.5 percent during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 86.3 percent and 88.4 percent of operating revenues from international locations were from operations in South America compared to 75.8 percent and 76.6 percent during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Substantially all of the South American operating revenues were from Argentina and Colombia. The future occurrence of one or more international events arising from the types of risks described above could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 consisted of the following:

(in thousands) | Estimated Useful Lives |  | March 31, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
Drilling services equipment | 4 - 15 years |  | $ | 6,338,257 |  |  | $ | 6,369,888 |

Assets held-for-sale |  |  | $ | 1,349 |  |  | $ | 4,333 |

(1)Included in construction in progress are costs for projects in progress to upgrade or refurbish certain rigs in our existing fleet. Additionally, we include other advances for capital maintenance purchase-orders that are open/in process. As these various projects are completed, the costs are then classified to their appropriate useful life category.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $94.6 million and $101.1 million including abandonments of $1.0 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $189.5 million and $199.8 million including abandonments of $2.1 million and $3.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. I n November 2022, a fire at a wellsite caused substantial damage to one of our super spec-rigs within our North America Solutions segment. The major components were destroyed beyond repair and considered a total loss, and, as a result, these assets were written off and the rig was removed from our available rig count. At the time of the loss, the rig was fully insured under replacement cost insurance. The insurance recovery is expected to exceed the net book value of the components written off. The loss of $9.2 million is recorded as abandonment expense within Depreciation and amortization in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and is offset by an insurance recovery that was also recognized within Depreciation and Amortization for the same amount as the loss. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the loss will be recognized once it is collected.
Assets Held-for-Sale
The following table summarizes the balance (in thousands) of our assets held-for-sale at the dates indicated below:

Balance at September 30, 2022 | $ | 4,333 |

Fiscal Year 2023 Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company initiated a plan to decommission and scrap four international FlexRig® drilling rigs and four conventional drilling rigs located in Argentina that are not suitable for unconventional drilling. As a result, these rigs were reclassified to Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023. The rigs’ aggregate net book value of $8.8 million was written down to the estimated scrap value of $0.7 million, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $8.1 million within our International Solutions segment and recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the six months ended March 31, 2023.
During the six months ended March 31, 2023, our North America Solutions assets that were previously classified as Assets held-for-sale at September 30, 2022 were either sold or written down to scrap value. The aggregate net book value of these remaining assets was $3.0 million, which exceeded the estimated scrap value of $0.3 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million. During the same period, we also identified additional equipment that met the asset held-for-sale criteria and was reclassified as Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate net book value of the equipment of $1.4 million was written down to its estimated scrap value of $0.1 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $1.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023. These impairment charges are recorded within our North America Solutions segment in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Fiscal Year 2022 Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we closed on the sale of our trucking and casing running assets for total consideration less costs to sell of $6.0 million, in addition to the possibility of future earnout proceeds, resulting in a loss of $3.4 million recorded in Other (gain) loss on sale of assets within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 we recognized $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in earnout proceeds associated with the sale of our trucking services assets within Other (gain) loss on sale of assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we identified two partial rig substructures that met the asset held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified as Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The combined net book value of the rig substructures of $2.0 million were written down to their estimated scrap value of $0.1 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $1.9 million within our North America Solutions segment and recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2022. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we completed the sale of these assets with a net book value of approximately $0.1 million, resulting in no gain or loss as a result of the sale. Two international FlexRig® drilling rigs located in Colombia were identified that met the asset held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified as Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In conjunction with establishing a plan to sell the two international FlexRig® drilling rigs, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $2.5 million within our International Solutions segment and recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the six months ended March 31, 2022, as the rigs aggregate net book value of $3.4 million exceeded the fair value of the rigs less estimated cost to sell of $0.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we completed the sale of the two international FlexRig® drilling rigs for total consideration of $0.9 million, resulting in no gain or loss as a result of the sale.
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, ADNOC Drilling accepted delivery of two rigs located in the U.A.E. with a net book value of $4.1 million and, as a result, we recognized a gain of $1.2 million, after incurring $2.4 million of selling costs, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the rigs were removed from assets classified as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2022. The gain of $1.2 million is recorded in Other (gain) loss on sale of assets within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022.
The significant assumptions utilized in the valuations of held-for-sale were based on our intended method of disposal, historical sales of similar assets, and market quotes and are classified as Level 2 and Level 3 inputs by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. Although we believe the assumptions used in our analysis are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the analysis and our resulting conclusion.

(Gain)/Loss on Sale of Assets
Gain on Reimbursement of Drilling Equipment
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we recognized a gain of $11.6 million, $27.3 million, $6.4 million, and $11.7 million, respectively, related to customer reimbursement for the current replacement value of lost or damaged drill pipe. Gains related to these asset sales are recorded in Gains on reimbursement of drilling equipment within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other (Gain)/Loss on Sale of Assets
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we recognized a (gain) loss of $(2.5) million, $(4.9) million, $(0.7) million, and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the sale of rig equipment and other capital assets. These amounts are recorded in Other (gain) loss on sale of Assets within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 4 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for potential impairment at the reporting unit level, at a minimum on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indications of potential impairment exist. All of our goodwill is within our North America Solutions reportable segment.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we had no additions or impairments to goodwill. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the goodwill balance was $45.7 million.
Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the period in which these assets contribute to our cash flows and are evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policies for valuation of long-lived assets. All of our intangible assets are within our North America Solutions reportable segment and consist of the following:

|  |  | March 31, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022
(in thousands) | Weighted Average Estimated Useful Lives |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net

Amortization expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively and $3.4 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $3.2 million for the remainder of fiscal year 2023, and approximately $6.4 million for fiscal year 2024 through 2027.

Senior Notes
2.90% Senior Notes due 2031 On September 29, 2021, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2.90 percent 2031 Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 29 and September 29 of each year, commencing on March 29, 2022. The 2031 Notes will mature on September 29, 2031 and bear interest at a rate of 2.90 percent per annum.
In June 2022, we settled a registered exchange offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to exchange the 2031 Notes for new, SEC-registered notes that are substantially identical to the terms of the 2031 Notes, except that the offer and issuance of the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the 2031 Notes do not apply to the new notes. All of the 2031 Notes were exchanged in the Registered Exchange Offer.
The indenture governing the 2031 Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain liens; engage in sale and lease-back transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The indenture governing the 2031 Notes also contains customary events of default with respect to the 2031 Notes.
4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 On October 27, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Notes. As a result, the associated make-whole premium of $56.4 million and the write off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs of $3.7 million were recognized during the first fiscal quarter of 2022 contemporaneously with the October 27, 2021 debt extinguishment and recorded in Loss on extinguishment of debt on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Credit Facility
On November 13, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, which was amended on November 13, 2019, providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2018 Credit Facility”), that was set to mature on November 13, 2024. On April 16, 2021, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 13, 2024 to November 12, 2025. No other terms of the 2018 Credit Facility were amended in connection with this extension. On March 8, 2022, we entered into the second amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility, which, among other things, raised the number of potential future extensions of the maturity date applicable to extending lenders from one to two such potential extensions and replaced provisions in respect of interest rate determinations that were based on the London Interbank Offered Rate with provisions based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Additionally, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 12, 2025 to November 11, 2026. On February 10, 2023, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 11, 2026 to November 12, 2027. The remaining $70.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility will expire on November 13, 2024, unless extended by the applicable lender before such date.

The 2018 Credit Facility has $750.0 million in aggregate availability with a maximum of $75.0 million available for use as letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding, leaving $750.0 million available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Facility. For a full description of the 2018 Credit Facility, see Note 7—Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $95.0 million in uncommitted bilateral credit facilities, for the purpose of obtaining the issuance of international letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds. Of the $95.0 million, $40.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Separately, we had $2.1 million in standby letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding. In total, we had $42.1 million outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
The applicable agreements for all unsecured debt contain additional terms, conditions and restrictions that we believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies that are similar in size and credit quality. At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES

We use an estimated annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the income tax provision during interim reporting periods. In calculating our estimated annual effective tax rate, we consider forecasted annual pre-tax income and estimated permanent book versus tax differences. Adjustments to the effective tax rate and estimates could occur during the year as information and assumptions change which could include, but are not limited to, changes to the forecasted amounts, estimates of permanent book versus tax differences, and changes to tax laws and rates. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 we used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes as it was determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate.
Our income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $51.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 23.8 percent and (136.9) percent, respectively. Our income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $83.5 million and $(4.9) million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 24.3 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively.
Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, and permanent non-deductible items. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to a discrete tax adjustment of $0.2 million related to equity compensation.
Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and permanent non-deductible items. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differs from the statutory rate due to the adjustments required to reflect the change in methodology to calculate the provision for income taxes as discussed above.
For the next 12 months, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will achieve ultimate resolution of any uncertain tax positions associated with our U.S. and international operations that could result in increases or decreases of our unrecognized tax benefits. However, we do not expect these increases or decreases to have a material effect on our results of continuing operations or financial position.

NOTE 7 SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company has an evergreen authorization from the Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to four million common shares in any calendar year. In December 2022, the Board of Directors increased the maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased in calendar year 2023 to five million common shares, effective January 1, 2023. The repurchases may be made using our cash and cash equivalents or other available sources and are held as treasury shares on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 2.5 million and 3.4 million common shares, at an aggregate cost of $106.7 million and $145.8 million (including excise tax of $0.8 million), respectively. We repurchased 0.6 million and 3.2 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $16.6 million and $77.0 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022.
A base cash dividend of $0.25 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.235 per share was declared on December 9, 2022 for shareholders of record on February 14, 2023, and was paid on February 28, 2023. On March 1, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a base cash dividend of $0.25 per share and a supplemental cash dividend of $0.235 per share for shareholders of record on May 18, 2023, payable on June 1, 2023. As a result, we recorded Dividends Payable of $50.4 million on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.

NOTE 8 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Drilling Services Revenue
With most drilling contracts, we receive payments contractually designated for the mobilization and demobilization of drilling rigs and other equipment to and from the client’s drill site. Revenue associated with the mobilization and demobilization of our drilling rigs to and from the client’s drill site do not relate to a distinct good or service. These revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the related contract term that drilling services are provided. For any contracts that include a provision for pooled term days at contract inception, followed by the assignment of days to specific rigs throughout the contract term, we have elected, as a practical expedient, to recognize revenue in an amount for which the entity has a right to invoice, as permitted by ASC 606.
On November 12, 2021, we settled a drilling contract dispute related to drilling services provided from fiscal years 2016 through 2019 with YPF S.A. (Argentina) ("YPF"). The settlement required that YPF make a one-time cash payment to H&P in the amount of $11.0 million and enter into drilling service contracts for three drilling rigs, each with multi-year terms. In addition, both parties were released of all outstanding claims against each other, and as a result, H&P recognized $5.4 million in revenue primarily due to accrued disputed amounts. Total revenue recognized as a result of the settlement in the amount of $16.4 million is included in Drilling Services Revenue within the International Solutions segment on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Contract Costs
We had capitalized fulfillment costs of $12.6 million and $6.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations, commonly referred to as backlog, as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $1.3 billion, of which approximately $0.7 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal year 2023, approximately $0.5 billion during fiscal year 2024, and approximately $0.1 billion in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter. These amounts do not include anticipated contract renewals. Additionally, contracts that currently contain month-to-month terms are represented in our backlog as one month of unsatisfied performance obligations. Our contracts are subject to cancellation or modification at the election of the customer; however, due to the level of capital deployed by our customers on underlying projects, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications in the past.

These phantom stock units confer the economic benefits of owning company stock without the actual ownership, transfer or issuance of any shares. Phantom stock units are subject to a vesting period of one year from the grant date. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, 12,591 restricted phantom stock units were granted and 14,199 restricted phantom stock units vested.

Non-vested performance units outstanding at March 31, 2023 2 | 775 |  |  | $ | 34.51 |

(1)At the end of the Vesting Period, recipients receive dividend equivalents, if any, with respect to the number of vested performance units. The vesting of units ranges from zero to 200 percent of the units granted depending on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the Peer Group on the vesting date.
(2)Of the total non-vested performance units at the end of the period, specified performance criteria has been achieved with respect to 225,308 performance units which is calculated based on the payout percentage for the completed performance period. The vesting and number of the remainder of non-vested performance units reflected at the end of the period is contingent upon our achievement of specified target performance criteria. If we meet the specified maximum performance criteria, approximately 379,152 additional performance units could vest or become eligible to vest.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable performance share unit award agreements and the 2020 Plan, grants of performance units are subject to a vesting period of three years (the “Vesting Period”) that is dependent on the achievement of certain performance goals. Such performance unit grants consist of two separate components. Performance units that comprise the first component are subject to a three-year performance cycle. Performance units that comprise the second component are further divided into three separate tranches, each of which is subject to a separate one-year performance cycle within the full three-year performance cycle. The vesting of the performance units is generally dependent on (i) the achievement of the Company’s TSR performance goals relative to the TSR achievement of a peer group of companies over the applicable performance cycle, and (ii) the continued employment of the recipient of the performance unit award throughout the Vesting Period. The Vesting Period for performance units granted in November 2019 ended on December 31, 2022 and the performance units eligible to vest were settled in shares of common stock in January 2023.

NOTE 10 EARNINGS (LOSSES) PER COMMON SHARE

ASC 260, Earnings per Share, requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. We have granted and expect to continue to grant to employees restricted stock grants that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Such grants are considered participating securities under ASC 260. As such, we are required to include these grants in the calculation of our basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share is computed utilizing the two-class method and is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods utilizing the two-class method for stock options, non-vested restricted stock and performance units.
Under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, dividends paid and a portion of undistributed net income, but not losses, are allocated to unvested restricted stock grants that receive dividends, which are considered participating securities.

We had a net loss for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022. Accordingly, our diluted earnings per share calculation for that period was equivalent to our basic earnings per share calculation since diluted earnings per share excluded any assumed vesting of equity awards. These were excluded because they were deemed to be anti-dilutive, meaning their inclusion would have reduced the reported net loss per share in the applicable period.
The following potentially dilutive average shares attributable to outstanding equity awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

NOTE 11 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We have certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured and disclosed at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820-10 to measure fair value to prioritize the inputs:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which we classify the fair value measurement.

Short-term Investments
Short-term investments primarily include securities classified as trading securities. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income (expense) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These securities are recorded at fair value. Level 1 inputs include U.S. agency issued debt securities with active markets and money market funds. For these items, quoted current market prices are readily available. Level 2 inputs include corporate bonds measured using broker quotations that utilize observable market inputs.
Long-term Investments
Equity Securities Our long-term investments include debt and equity securities and assets held in a Non-Qualified Supplemental Savings Plan ("Savings Plan") and are recorded within Investments on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our assets that we hold in the Savings Plan are comprised of mutual funds that are measured using Level 1 inputs.
During September 2021, the Company made a $100.0 million cornerstone investment in ADNOC Drilling in advance of its announced initial public offering, representing 159.7 million shares of ADNOC Drilling, equivalent to a one percent ownership stake and subject to a three-year lockup period. ADNOC Drilling’s initial public offering was completed on October 3, 2021, and its shares are listed and traded on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. Our investment is classified as a long-term equity investment within Investments on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value with any gains or losses recognized through net income (loss) and recorded within Gain (loss) on investment securities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we early adopted ASU No. 2022-03 which states that the contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security that is publicly traded is not considered in measuring fair value. The provisions of ASU No. 2022-03 were consistent with our historical accounting for our investment in ADNOC Drilling. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a gain of $42.6 million and $24.4 million respectively, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as a result of the change in fair value of the investment compared to a gain of $16.7 million and $64.5 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 respectively. As of March 31, 2023, this investment is classified as a Level 1 investment based on the quoted stock price on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
Equity Securities with Fair Value Option In October 2022, we made a $14.1 million equity investment, representing 106.0 million common shares (approximately 7.5 percent ownership stake), in Tamboran Resources Limited ("Tamboran"), a publicly traded company on the Australian Securities Exchange Ltd under the ticker "TBN." Tamboran is focused on playing a constructive role in the global energy transition towards a lower carbon future, by developing a significantly low CO 2 gas resource within Australia's Beetaloo Sub-basin. Concurrent with the investment agreement, we entered into a fixed-term drilling services agreement with the same investee for which mobilization is expected to commence later this fiscal year. Approximately $30.3 million in revenue is expected to be earned over the term of the contract, and, as such, this amount is included within our contract backlog as of March 31, 2023.

We believe we have a significant influence, but not control or joint control over the investee, due to several factors, including our ownership percentage, operational involvement and role on the investee's board of directors. We consider this investment to have a readily determinable fair value and have elected to account for this investment using the fair value option with any changes in fair value recognized through net income (loss). Our investment is classified as a long-term equity investment within Investments on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023. Under the guidance, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, this investment is classified as a Level 1 investment based on the quoted stock price which is publicly available. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a gain (loss) of $(3.0) million and $0.1 million, respectively, recorded within Gain on investment securities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as a result of the change in fair value of the investment during the period.
Debt Securities During April 2022, the Company made a $33.0 million cornerstone investment in Galileo Holdco 2 Limited Technologies ("Galileo Holdco 2"), part of the group of companies known as Galileo Technologies (“Galileo”) in the form of a convertible note. Galileo specializes in liquification, natural gas compression and re-gasification modular systems and technologies to make the production, transportation, and consumption of natural gas, biomethane, and hydrogen more economically viable. The convertible note bears interest at 5.0 percent per annum with a maturity date of the earlier of April 2027 or an exit event (as defined in the agreement as either an initial public offering or a sale of Galileo). If the conversion option is exercised, the note would convert into common shares of the parent of Galileo Holdco 2. We currently do not intend to sell this investment prior to its maturity date or an exit event. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the convertible note was approximately equal to the cost basis.
All of our long-term debt securities, including our investment in Galileo, are classified as available-for-sale and are measured using Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the absence of market activity. The following table reconciles changes in the fair value of our Level 3 assets for the periods presented below:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  | Six Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Assets at beginning of period | $ | 33,107 |  |  | $ | 3,500 |  |  | $ | 33,565 |  |  | $ | 500 |

Transfers out 1 | — |  |  | — |  |  | (500) |  |  | — |
Assets at end of period | $ | 35,140 |  |  | $ | 3,500 |  |  | $ | 35,140 |  |  | $ | 3,500 |

(1)We reclassified a portion of our long-term debt securities to short-term notes receivable and is recorded in accounts receivable on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides quantitative information (in thousands) about our Level 3 unobservable significant inputs related to our debt security investment with Galileo at March 31, 2023:

Fair Value |  | Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Inputs |  |  |  |
$ | 33,000 |  |  | Black-Scholes-Merton model |  | Discount rate | 22.4 | % |  |  |  |
|  |  |  | Risk-free rate | 4.0 | % |  |  |  |
|  |  |  | Equity volatility | 92.5 | % |  |  |  |

The above significant unobservable inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions. The use of significant unobservable inputs creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate, risk-free rate, and equity volatility in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

Contingent Consideration Other financial instruments measured using Level 3 unobservable inputs primarily consist of potential earnout payments associated with our business acquisitions in fiscal year 2019. Contingent consideration is recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of milestone achievements. The following table reconciles changes in the fair value of our Level 3 liabilities for the periods presented below:

(1)Settlements represent earnout payments that have been paid or earned during the period.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We have certain assets that are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For these nonfinancial assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if they are determined to be impaired. These assets generally include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets. If measured at fair value in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further details on any changes in valuation of these assets is provided in their respective footnotes.
Other Equity Securities We also hold various other equity securities without readily determinable fair values, primarily comprised of geothermal investments. These equity securities are measured at cost, less any impairments, and will be marked to fair value when observable price changes in identical or similar investments from the same issuer occur. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and September 30, 2022, the aggregate balance of these equity securities was $26.3 million, $14.0 million, and $23.7 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any impairments on these investments.
The following table reconciles changes in the balance of our equity securities, without readily determinable fair values, for the periods presented below:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  | Six Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Assets at beginning of period | $ | 25,800 |  |  | $ | 8,881 |  |  | $ | 23,745 |  |  | $ | 2,865 |

Assets at end of period | $ | 26,301 |  |  | $ | 13,990 |  |  | $ | 26,301 |  |  | $ | 13,990 |

Geothermal Investments
As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the aggregate balance of our debt and equity security investments in geothermal energy was $27.3 million and $23.7 million, respectively. These investments include assets measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis (discussed in the subsections above). In circumstances where we are required to revalue these investments based on observable changes in fair market value, these investments would be classified as Level 3 based on the absence of market activity.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The majority of cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid money-market mutual funds invested primarily in direct or indirect obligations of the U.S. Government and in federally insured deposit accounts. The carrying value of accounts receivable, other current and noncurrent assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximated fair value at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments
Equipment, parts, and supplies are ordered in advance to promote efficient construction and capital improvement progress. At March 31, 2023, we had purchase commitments for equipment, parts and supplies of approximately $145.8 million.
Guarantee Arrangements
We are contingently liable to sureties in respect of bonds issued by the sureties in connection with certain commitments entered into by us in the normal course of business. We have agreed to indemnify the sureties for any payments made by them in respect of such bonds.
Contingencies
During the ordinary course of our business, contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving an uncertainty as to the realization of a possible gain or loss contingency. We account for gain contingencies in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies, and, therefore, we do not record gain contingencies or recognize income until realized. The property and equipment of our Venezuelan subsidiary was seized by the Venezuelan government on June 30, 2010. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Helmerich & Payne International Drilling Co. ("HPIDC"), and Helmerich & Payne de Venezuela, C.A. filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on September 23, 2011 against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. and PDVSA Petroleo, S.A., seeking damages for the seizure of their Venezuelan drilling business in violation of international law and for breach of contract. While there exists the possibility of realizing a recovery on HPIDC's expropriation claims, we are currently unable to determine the timing or amounts we may receive, if any, or the likelihood of recovery.
In May 2018, an employee of our subsidiary, HPIDC, was involved in a car accident in his personal vehicle while not clocked in for work. The accident resulted in a fatality of a passenger in the other vehicle. The estate of the victim, his widow and children subsequently brought a lawsuit against the employee and HPIDC in Texas State District Court in January 2020. In February 2022, trial began in the matter and the jury reached a verdict against HPIDC and our employee for approximately $126.0 million, including interest. In March 2022, the court entered a judgment consistent with the findings of the jury. In April 2022, the Company and its insurers filed post-trial motions, none of which were granted by the trial judge. However, in June 2022, Plaintiffs' counsel filed a Voluntary Remittitur with the trial court, which formally reduced the verdict to $60.0 million. The Company and its insurers are currently filing motions to appeal the judgement. Accordingly, the Company cannot make an estimate of the possible loss at this time. As of March 31, 2023, we have incurred expenses, mainly legal fees, against the insurance deductible. At this time, we believe our insurance policies will be responsive to the amounts over our $3.0 million insurance deductible and that foreseeable exposures to the Company exceeding the deductible will be recovered through insurance.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other pending legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. We maintain insurance against certain business risks subject to certain deductibles. Although no assurance can be given, we believe, based on our experiences to date and taking into account established reserves and insurance, that the ultimate resolution of such items will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. When we determine a loss is probable of occurring and is reasonably estimable, we accrue an undiscounted liability for such contingencies based on our best estimate using information available at that time. If the estimated loss is a range of potential outcomes and there is no better estimate within the range, we accrue the amount at the low end of the range. We disclose contingencies where an adverse outcome may be material, or in the judgment of management, we conclude the matter should otherwise be disclosed.

Significant Lease Not Yet Commenced
During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into a lease agreement for our new Tulsa corporate office. This lease is expected to commence sometime during the first half of calendar year 2024. The initial lease term is approximately 12 years with two unpriced five-year extension options. The aggregate future non-cancelable lease payments are estimated to be approximately $15.1 million.

NOTE 13 BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Description of the Business
We are a performance-driven drilling solutions and technologies company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma with operations in all major U.S. onshore oil and gas producing basins as well as South America and the Middle East. Our drilling operations consist mainly of contracting Company-owned drilling equipment primarily to large oil and gas exploration companies. We believe we are the recognized industry leader in drilling as well as technological innovation. We focus on offering our customers an integrated solutions-based approach by combining proprietary rig technology, automation software, and digital expertise into our rig operations rather than a product-based offering, such as a rig or separate technology package. Our drilling services operations are organized into the following reportable operating business segments: North America Solutions, Offshore Gulf of Mexico and International Solutions.
Each reportable operating segment is a strategic business unit that is managed separately, and consolidated revenues and expenses reflect the elimination of all material intercompany transactions. Our real estate operations, our incubator program for new research and development projects, and our wholly-owned captive insurance companies are included in "Other." External revenues included in “Other” primarily consist of rental income.
Segment Performance
We evaluate segment performance based on income or loss from continuing operations (segment operating income (loss)) before income taxes which includes:
•Revenues from external and internal customers
•Direct operating costs
•Depreciation and amortization
•Allocated general and administrative costs
•Asset impairment charges
but excludes gain on reimbursement of drilling equipment, other (gain) loss on sale of assets, corporate selling, general and administrative costs, corporate depreciation, and corporate restructuring charges.
General and administrative costs are allocated to the segments based primarily on specific identification and, to the extent that such identification is not practical, other methods may be used which we believe to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided.
Summarized financial information of our reportable segments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is shown in the following tables:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q (“Form 10‑Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

•the effects of actions by, or disputes among or between, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other oil producing nations (together, “OPEC+”) with respect to production levels or other matters related to the prices of oil and natural gas;
•changes in future levels of drilling activity and capital expenditures by our customers, whether as a result of global capital markets and liquidity, changes in prices of oil and natural gas or otherwise, which may cause us to idle or stack additional rigs, or increase our capital expenditures and the construction, upgrade or acquisition of rigs;
•the ongoing effect and impact of public health crises, such as the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic;
•changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition, or technology;
•possible cancellation, suspension, renegotiation or termination (with or without cause) of our contracts as a result of general or industry-specific economic conditions, mechanical difficulties, performance or other reasons;

Executive Summary

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (“H&P,” which, together with its subsidiaries, is identified as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” except where stated or the context requires otherwise) through its operating subsidiaries provides performance-driven drilling solutions and technologies that are intended to make hydrocarbon recovery safer and more economical for oil and gas exploration and production companies. As of March 31, 2023, our drilling rig fleet included a total of 262 drilling rigs. Our reportable operating business segments consist of the North America Solutions segment with 233 rigs, the Offshore Gulf of Mexico segment with seven offshore platform rigs and the International Solutions segment with 22 rigs as of March 31, 2023. At the close of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we had 198 active contracted rigs, of which 109 were under a fixed-term contract and 89 were working well-to-well, compared to 192 contracted rigs at September 30, 2022. Our long-term strategy remains focused on innovation, technology, safety, operational excellence and reliability. As we move forward, we believe that our advanced uniform rig fleet, technology offerings, financial strength, contract backlog and strong customer and employee base position us very well to respond to continued cyclical, and often times, volatile market conditions and to take advantage of future opportunities.

Market Outlook

Our revenues are primarily derived from the capital expenditures of companies involved in the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas (“E&Ps”). Generally, the level of capital expenditures is dictated by current and expected future prices of crude oil and natural gas, which are determined by various supply and demand factors. Both commodities have historically been, and we expect them to continue to be, cyclical and highly volatile.
Our drilling services operations are organized into the following reportable operating segments: North America Solutions, Offshore Gulf of Mexico, and International Solutions. With respect to North America Solutions, the resurgence of oil and natural gas production coming from the United States brought about by unconventional shale drilling for oil has significantly impacted the supply of oil and natural gas and the type of rig utilized in the U.S. land drilling industry.
The technical requirements of drilling longer lateral unconventional shale wells often necessitate the use of rigs that are commonly referred to in the industry as super-spec rigs and have the following specific characteristics: AC drive, minimum of 1,500 horsepower drawworks, minimum of 750,000 lbs. hookload rating, 7,500 psi mud circulating system, and multiple-well pad capability.
There is a strong customer preference for super-spec rigs not only due to the higher rig specifications that enable more technical drilling but also due to the drilling efficiencies gained in utilizing a super-spec rig. As a result, there has been a structural decline in the use of non-super-spec rigs across the industry. We are the largest provider of super-spec rigs in the industry and, accordingly, we believe we are well positioned to respond to various market conditions.

Historically there has been a strong correlation between crude oil and natural gas prices and the demand for drilling rigs with the rig count increasing and decreasing with the up and down movements in the commodity prices. However, beginning in 2021, rig activity has not moved in tandem with crude oil prices to the same extent it had historically as a large portion of our customers instituted a more disciplined approach to their operations and capital spending in order to enhance their own financial returns. Those customers established capital budgets based upon commodity price assumptions for the upcoming year and adhered to them, not adjusting activity plans as commodity prices moved.
While overall customer capital budgets for calendar year 2023 appear to be modestly higher than those experienced in calendar year 2022, recent commodity price volatility, particularly the weakness in natural gas prices, has resulted in some customers, typically smaller ones, reducing activity and/or shifting activity to more crude oil centric basins at least temporarily. This has led to some idle super-spec rigs being readily available in the market. That said, we do not expect this level of idle supply in the market to have a material impact on overall rig pricing. We do see the potential for some of this recently idled super-spec capacity, especially as it relates to the Company's idled rigs, to be redeployed later in the calendar year 2023.
With regards to our North America Solutions segment, recent volatility in natural gas prices and resulting reduced rig demand has contributed to an increased level of rig releases in the market. These factors, in combination with the Company's fiscally disciplined approach to deploying capital and prioritizing economic margins over rig utilization, results in our belief that our active rig count will not likely reach 191 rigs during fiscal 2023 as previously projected. Having deployed 12 of the 16 potential fiscal 2023 rig reactivations during the first six months of fiscal year 2023, the Company's rig count sits at 179 active rigs as of March 31, 2023, with eight rigs available for rapid redeployment should customer demand warrant. Going forward into the final six months of fiscal year 2023, we expect additional rigs releases, which we project will result in a lower average Company active rig count relative to the first six months of fiscal year 2023. However, despite the lower activity outlook, we believe the Company's pricing discipline will result in a higher average revenue per day during the last six months of fiscal year 2023 relative to the first six months. Furthermore, we still believe the supply and demand dynamics surrounding our North America Solutions segment remain constructive for future activity and pricing levels.
Collectively, our other business segments, Offshore Gulf of Mexico and International Solutions, are exposed to the same macro commodity price environment affecting our North America Solutions segment; however, activity levels in the International Solutions segment are also subject to other various geopolitical and financial factors specific to the countries of our operations. We do not foresee much activity or margin change in our Offshore Gulf of Mexico segment during the third fiscal quarter. However, one current active offshore rigs is expected to mobilize to the yard during the fourth fiscal quarter after completing its current contract. Regarding our International Solutions segment, we see opportunities for improvement in activity and the related corresponding margin improvement, but those will likely occur on a more extended timeline compared to what we have experienced in the North America Solutions segment.

Recent Developments

Credit Facility Extension
On February 10, 2023, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 11, 2026 to November 12, 2027. The remaining $70.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility will expire on November 13, 2024, unless extended by the applicable lender before such date.
Investment in Tamboran
In October 2022, we made a $14.1 million equity investment, representing 106 million common shares (approximately 7.5 percent ownership stake), in Tamboran Resources Limited ("Tamboran"), a publicly traded company on the Australian Securities Exchange Ltd under the ticker "TBN." Tamboran is focused on playing a constructive role in the global energy transition towards a lower carbon future, by developing a significantly low CO 2 gas resource within Australia's Beetaloo Sub-basin. Concurrent with the investment agreement, we entered into a fixed-term drilling services agreement with the same investee for which mobilization is expected to commence later this fiscal year. Approximately $30.3 million in revenue is expected to be earned over the term of the contract, and, as such, this amount is included within our contract backlog as of March 31, 2023. In April 2023, Tamboran appointed an executive of the Company to its Board of Directors.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a gain (loss) of $(3.0) million and $0.1 million, respectively, recorded within Gain on investment securities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as a result of the change in fair value of the investment during the period.

Significant Lease Not Yet Commenced
During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into a lease agreement for our new Tulsa corporate office. This lease is expected to commence sometime during the first half of calendar year 2024. The initial lease term is approximately 12 years with two unpriced five-year extension options. The aggregate future non-cancelable lease payments are estimated to be approximately $15.1 million.

Contract Backlog

As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, our contract drilling backlog, being the expected future dayrate revenue from executed contracts, was $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. These amounts do not include anticipated contract renewals or expected performance bonuses. The increase in backlog at March 31, 2023 from September 30, 2022 is primarily due to the increase in contract pricing for fixed term drilling contracts executed during the period. Approximately 45.1 percent of the March 31, 2023 total backlog is reasonably expected to be fulfilled in fiscal year 2024 and thereafter.
The following table sets forth the total backlog by reportable segment as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and the percentage of the March 31, 2023 backlog reasonably expected to be fulfilled in fiscal year 2024 and thereafter:

(in billions) | March 31, 2023 |  | September 30, 2022 |  | Percentage Reasonably Expected to be Fulfilled in Fiscal Year 2024 and Thereafter
North America Solutions | $ | 1.1 |  |  | $ | 0.9 |  |  | 41.2 | %
Offshore Gulf of Mexico | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
International Solutions | 0.2 |  |  | 0.3 |  |  | 63.4 |
| $ | 1.3 |  |  | $ | 1.2 |  |  |

The early termination of a contract may result in a rig being idle for an extended period of time, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In some limited circumstances, such as sustained unacceptable performance by us, no early termination payment would be paid to us. Early terminations could cause the actual amount of revenue earned to vary from the backlog reported. See Item 1A—"Risk Factors—Our current backlog of drilling services and solutions revenue may decline and may not be ultimately realized as fixed‑term contracts and may, in certain instances, be terminated without an early termination payment” within our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding fixed term contract risk. Additionally, see Item 1A—"Risk Factors—The impact and effects of public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations" within our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Consolidated Results of Operations
Net Income (Loss) We reported income from continuing operations of $163.9 million ($1.55 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $769.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million ($0.05 loss per diluted share) from operating revenues of $467.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is income of $0.1 million (with no impact on a per diluted share basis) from discontinued operations. Including discontinued operations, we recorded net income of $164.0 million ($1.55 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $5.0 million ($0.05 loss per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Operating Revenue Consolidated operating revenues were $769.2 million and $467.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in average rig pricing and activity levels in our North America Solutions segment and increased activity levels in our International Solutions segment. Refer to segment results below for further details.
Direct Operating Expenses, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization Direct operating expenses were $450.3 million and $340.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the aforementioned higher activity levels as well as a North America Solutions wage increase that became effective at the end of fiscal year 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $52.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $47.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in labor expenses and a $1.6 million increase in professional fees.

Gain on Investment Securities During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an aggregate gain of $39.8 million on investment securities compared to a gain of $22.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This gain was comprised of a $42.6 million gain on our equity investment in ADNOC Drilling and offset by a $3.0 million loss on our equity investment in Tamboran as a result of changes in the fair value of these investments during the period. Comparatively, we recorded a gain of $16.7 million on our investment in ADNOC Drilling during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Income Taxes We used an estimated annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as we determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had income tax expense of $51.1 million compared to income tax expense of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our statutory federal income tax rate for fiscal year 2023 and 2022 is 21.0 percent (before incremental state and foreign taxes).

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Consolidated Results of Operations
Net Income (Loss) We reported income from continuing operations of $260.3 million ($2.45 per diluted share) from operating revenues of $1.5 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $56.0 million ($0.53 loss per diluted share) from operating revenues of $877.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Included in net income for the six months ended March 31, 2023 is income of $0.9 million ($0.01 per diluted share) from discontinued operations. Including discontinued operations, we recorded net income of $261.2 million ($2.46 per diluted share) for the six months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $56.3 million ($0.53 loss per diluted share) for the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Operating Revenue Consolidated operating revenues were $1.5 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and $877.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in average rig pricing and activity levels in our North America Solutions segment and increased activity levels in our International Solutions segment. Refer to segment results below for further details.
Direct Operating Expenses, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization Direct operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $879.7 million, compared to $641.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the aforementioned higher activity levels as well as a North America Solutions wage increase that became effective at the end of fiscal year 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $101.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $90.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a $5.2 million increase in professional fees and a $2.9 million increase in labor expenses.
Asset Impairment Charges During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded $12.1 million in asset impairment charges as the Company initiated a plan to decommission, scrap and/or sell certain assets including four international FlexRig® drilling rigs, four international conventional drilling rigs, and additional equipment. The aggregate net book value of these assets of $13.2 million was written down to their estimated scrap value of $1.1 million. Comparatively, during the six months ended March 31, 2022, we identified two partial rig substructures and two international FlexRig® drilling rigs that met the assets held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified as assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This resulted in an impairment charge of $4.4 million as the book values of these rig substructures were written down to their estimated scrap value of $0.1 million and the international drilling rigs were written down to their fair value less estimated cost to sell of $0.9 million.
Gain on Investment Securities During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an aggregate gain of $24.7 million on investment securities compared to a gain of $70.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. This gain mainly comprised of a $24.4 million gain on our equity investment in ADNOC Drilling caused by an increase in the fair market value of the stock. Comparatively, we recorded a gain of $64.5 million on this investment during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Income Taxes We used an estimated annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2023. We used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2022 as we determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate for the six months ended March 31, 2022.
For the six months ended March 31, 2023 we had income tax expense of $83.5 million (which includes discrete tax expense of $0.2 million related to equity compensation) compared to an income tax benefit of $4.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 (which included discrete tax expense of $4.1 million related to equity compensation). Our statutory federal income tax rate for fiscal year 2023 and 2022 is 21.0 percent (before incremental state and foreign taxes).

Operating Revenues Operating revenues were $1.3 billion and $0.7 billion in the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $0.6 billion increase in operating revenue is primarily due to higher pricing levels and a 19.4 percent increase in activity levels.
Direct Operating Expenses Direct operating expenses increased to $746.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $551.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by a $104.2 million increase in labor expense driven by higher activity levels and increased field wages beginning in late September 2022. Additionally, materials and supplies expense increased $20.5 million, which was also driven by higher activity levels.
Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation expense decreased to $178.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $189.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to the relatively low levels of capital expenditures during the last twelve months.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $30.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $21.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was largely driven by a $6.3 million increase in professional fees.
Asset Impairment Charges During the six months ended March 31, 2023, our North America Solutions assets that were previously classified as Assets held-for-sale at September 30, 2022 were either sold or written down to scrap value. The aggregate net book value of these remaining assets was $3.0 million, which exceeded the estimated scrap value of $0.3 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million. During the same period, we also identified additional equipment that met the asset held-for-sale criteria and was reclassified as Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate net book value of the equipment of $1.4 million was written down to its estimated scrap value of $0.1 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $1.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023. These impairment charges are recorded within our North America Solutions segment in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we identified two partial rig substructures that met the assets held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified as assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This resulted in an impairment charge of $1.9 million as the book values of these rig substructures were written down to their estimated scrap value of $0.1 million.

Operating Revenues Operating revenues were $70.1 million and $58.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The 20.0 percent increase in operating revenue is primarily driven by pricing increases and wage increase pass-throughs which occurred in the latter portion of fiscal year 2022.
Direct Operating Expenses Direct operating expenses increased to $51.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $41.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the mix of rigs working at full utilization as opposed to mobilizing or being on standby, in addition to the factors described above.

Operating Revenues Operating revenues increased to $110.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $64.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. This increase is primarily driven by a 87.3 percent increase in activity levels. Additionally, during the six months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $16.4 million in revenue related to the settlement of a contract drilling dispute related to drilling services provided from fiscal years 2016 through 2019 with YPF S.A. Refer to Note 8—Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional details.
Direct Operating Expenses Direct operating expenses increased to $88.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $49.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an increase of $17.8 million in labor expense and an increase of $15.1 million in materials and supplies given higher activity levels.
Asset Impairment Charges During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company initiated a plan to decommission and scrap four international FlexRig® drilling rigs and four conventional drilling rigs located in Argentina that are not suitable for unconventional drilling. As a result, these rigs were reclassified to Assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023. The rigs’ aggregate net book value of $8.8 million was written down to the estimated scrap value of $0.7 million, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $8.1 million within our International Solutions segment and recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the six months ended March 31, 2023. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, we identified two international FlexRig® drilling rigs that met the assets held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified as assets held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This resulted in an impairment charge of $2.5 million as the book values of these international drilling rigs were written down to their fair value less estimated cost to sell of $0.9 million.

Operating income | $ | 11,500 |  |  | $ | 7,096 |  |  | 62.1 |

Operating Revenues We continue to use our Captive insurance companies to insure the deductibles for our domestic workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability claims programs, and medical stop-loss program and to insure the deductibles from the Company's international casualty and rig property programs. Intercompany premium revenues recorded by the Captives during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $34.1 million and $26.9 million, respectively, which were eliminated upon consolidation.
Direct Operating Expenses Direct operating expenses consisted primarily of $4.7 million and $(0.4) million in adjustments to accruals for estimated losses allocated to the Captives and rig and casualty insurance premiums of $20.9 million and $16.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change to accruals for estimated losses is primarily due to actuarial valuation adjustments by our third-party actuary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity
Our sources of available liquidity include existing cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, and availability under the 2018 Credit Facility. Our liquidity requirements include meeting ongoing working capital needs, funding our capital expenditure projects, paying dividends declared, and repaying our outstanding indebtedness. Historically, we have financed operations primarily through internally generated cash flows. During periods when internally generated cash flows are not sufficient to meet liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand, borrow from available credit sources, access capital markets or sell our investments. Likewise, if we are generating excess cash flows or have cash balances on hand beyond our near-term needs, we may return cash to shareholders through dividends or share repurchases, or we may invest in highly rated short‑term money market and debt securities. These investments can include U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency issued debt securities, highly rated corporate bonds and commercial paper, certificates of deposit and money market funds. However, in some international locations we may make short-term investments that are less conservative, as equivalent highly rated investments are unavailable. See—Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Risks and Uncertainties—International Solutions Drilling Risks.
We may seek to access the debt and equity capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity as necessary, fund our additional purchases, exchange or redeem senior notes, or repay any amounts under the 2018 Credit Facility. Our ability to access the debt and equity capital markets depends on a number of factors, including our credit rating, market and industry conditions and market perceptions of our industry, general economic conditions, our revenue backlog and our capital expenditure commitments.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including, among others, the number of our drilling rigs under contract, the revenue we receive under those contracts, the efficiency with which we operate our drilling rigs, the timing of collections on outstanding accounts receivable, the timing of payments to our vendors for operating costs, and capital expenditures. As our revenues increase, operating net working capital is typically a use of capital, while conversely, as our revenues decrease, operating net working capital is typically a source of capital. To date, general inflationary trends have not had a material effect on our operating margins or cash flows as we have been able to offset these cumulative cost trends with rate increases.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $159.7 million and short-term investments of $85.1 million. Our cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 are presented below:

Operating net working capital (non-GAAP) | $ | 395,028 |  |  | $ | 281,862 |

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $326.3 million and $18.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by higher activity and rates, partially offset by changes in operating net working capital. For the purpose of understanding the impact on our cash flows from operating activities, operating net working capital is calculated as current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and assets held-for-sale, less current liabilities, excluding dividends payable and advance payments for sale of property, plant and equipment. Operating net working capital was $395.0 million and $281.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. This metric is considered a non-GAAP measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company considers operating net working capital to be a supplemental measure for presenting and analyzing trends in our cash flows from operations over time. Likewise, the Company believes that operating net working capital is useful to investors because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the business using criteria that are used by our internal decision makers. The increase in operating net working capital was primarily driven by higher rig activity and rates.
Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures Our capital expenditures during the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $181.5 million compared to $104.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in capital expenditures is driven by higher activity and increased costs associated with rig upgrades and reactivations.
Sales of Short-Term Investments Our net sales of short-term investments during the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $33.3 million compared to $48.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The change is driven by our ongoing liquidity management.
Purchases of Long-Term Investments Our net purchases of long-term investments during the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $18.8 million compared to $14.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily driven by our purchase of $14.1 million equity investment in Tamboran Resources Limited and $4.1 million in debt and equity security investments in various geothermal energy companies.
Q2FY23 FORM 10-Q | 42

Table of Contents
Sale of Assets Our proceeds from asset sales during the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $47.7 million compared to proceeds of $34.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in proceeds is mainly driven by higher rig activity which drives higher reimbursement from customers for lost or damaged drill pipe and other used drilling equipment.
Financing Activities
Dividends We paid dividends of $0.97 per share, comprised of a base cash dividend of $0.50 and a supplemental cash dividend of $0.47, during the six months ended March 31, 2023. Comparatively, during the six months ended March 31, 2022, we paid dividends of $0.50 per share. Total dividends paid were $102.9 million and $54.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. A base cash dividend of $0.25 per share and a quarterly supplemental cash dividend of $0.235 per share was declared on March 1, 2023 for shareholders of record on May 18, 2023, payable on June 1, 2023. The declaration and amount of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board and subject to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and other factors the Board deems relevant.
Redemption of 4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 On October 27, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Notes, resulting in a cash outflow of $487.1 million. As a result, the associated make-whole premium of $56.4 million was paid during the first fiscal quarter of 2022 contemporaneously with the October 27, 2021 debt extinguishment. The Company financed the redemption of the 2025 Notes with the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes, together with cash on hand. Additional details are fully discussed in Note 5—Debt.
Repurchase of Shares The Company has an evergreen authorization from the Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to four million common shares in any calendar year. In December 2022, the Board of Directors increased the maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased in calendar year 2023 to five million common shares, effective January 1, 2023. The repurchases may be made using our cash and cash equivalents or other available sources and are held as treasury shares on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.4 million common shares, at an aggregate cost of $145.8 million, including excise tax of $0.8 million and 3.2 million common shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $77.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Credit Facility
On November 13, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, which was amended on November 13, 2019, providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2018 Credit Facility”), that was set to mature on November 13, 2024. On April 16, 2021, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 13, 2024 to November 12, 2025. No other terms of the 2018 Credit Facility were amended in connection with this extension. On March 8, 2022, we entered into the second amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility, which, among other things, raised the number of potential future extensions of the maturity date applicable to extending lenders from one to two such potential extensions and replaced provisions in respect of interest rate determinations that were based on the London Interbank Offered Rate with provisions based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Additionally, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 12, 2025 to November 11, 2026. On February 10, 2023, lenders with $680.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility exercised their option to extend the maturity of the 2018 Credit Facility from November 11, 2026 to November 12, 2027. The remaining $70.0 million of commitments under the 2018 Credit Facility will expire on November 13, 2024, unless extended by the applicable lender before such date.
The 2018 Credit Facility has $750.0 million in aggregate availability with a maximum of $75.0 million available for use as letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding, leaving $750.0 million available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Facility. For a full description of the 2018 Credit Facility, see Note 7—Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $95.0 million in uncommitted bilateral credit facilities, for the purpose of obtaining the issuance of international letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds. Of the $95.0 million, $40.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Separately, we had $2.1 million in standby letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding. In total, we had $42.1 million outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
The applicable agreements for all unsecured debt contain additional terms, conditions and restrictions that we believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies that are similar in size and credit quality. At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

2.90% Senior Notes due 2031 On September 29, 2021, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2.90 percent 2031 Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 29 and September 29 of each year, commencing on March 29, 2022. The 2031 Notes will mature on September 29, 2031 and bear interest at a rate of 2.90 percent annum.
In June 2022, we settled a registered exchange offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to exchange the 2031 Notes for new, SEC-registered notes that are substantially identical to the terms of the 2031 Notes, except that the offer and issuance of the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the 2031 Notes do not apply to the new notes. All of the 2031 Notes were exchanged in the Registered Exchange Offer.
The indenture governing the 2031 Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain liens; engage in sale and lease-back transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The indenture governing the 2031 Notes also contains customary events of default with respect to the 2031 Notes.
4.65% Senior Notes due 2025 On December 20, 2018, we issued approximately $487.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The debt issuance cost was being amortized straight-line over the stated life of the obligation, which approximated the effective interest method.
On September 27, 2021, the Company delivered a conditional notice of optional full redemption for all of the outstanding 2025 Notes at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed. The Company financed the redemption of the 2025 Notes with the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes, together with cash on hand. The Company’s obligation to redeem the 2025 Notes was conditioned upon the prior consummation of the issuance of the 2031 Notes, which was satisfied on September 29, 2021.
On October 27, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Notes. As a result, the associated make-whole premium of $56.4 million and the write off of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs of $3.7 million were recognized during the first fiscal quarter of 2022 contemporaneously with the October 27, 2021 debt extinguishment and recorded in Loss on extinguishment of debt on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Future Cash Requirements
Our operating cash requirements, scheduled debt repayments, interest payments, any declared dividends, and estimated capital expenditures for fiscal year 2023 are expected to be funded through current cash and cash to be provided from operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at current levels. If needed, we may decide to obtain additional funding from our $750.0 million 2018 Credit Facility. We currently do not anticipate the need to draw on the 2018 Credit Facility. Our indebtedness under our unsecured senior notes totaled $550.0 million at March 31, 2023 and matures on September 29, 2031.
As of March 31, 2023, we had a $540.3 million deferred tax liability on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily related to temporary differences between the financial and income tax basis of property, plant and equipment. Our levels of capital expenditures over the last several years have been subject to accelerated depreciation methods (including bonus depreciation) available under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, enabling us to defer a portion of cash tax payments to future years. Future levels of capital expenditures and results of operations will determine the timing and amount of future cash tax payments. We expect to be able to meet any such obligations utilizing cash and investments on hand, as well as cash generated from ongoing operations.
At March 31, 2023, we had $3.2 million recorded for uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties. However, the timing of such payments to the respective taxing authorities cannot be estimated at this time.
The long‑term debt to total capitalization ratio was 16.6 percent at March 31, 2023 and 16.6 percent at September 30, 2022. For additional information regarding debt agreements, refer to Note 5—Debt to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no other significant changes in our financial position since September 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measurements

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 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.
