"Although the unexpected softening in KCA Deutag acquisition's Saudi operations has presented short-term financial challenges, H&P continues to maintain its strong financial foundation," President and CEO John Lindsay said.

"Even with the slowdown in the Saudi market, we are beginning to capture synergies from this transaction and remain confident that our significant drilling presence in the world's most productive oil and gas region enhances the company's long-term position in the global market." Lindsay also said Helmerich & Payne's (NYSE:HP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HP]) North America Solutions operations and other markets are performing in-line with previously stated guidance.
