H&P New Builds Delivered 22 new builds in fiscal 2013, all under long-term contracts. Since the beginning of fiscal 2014, we have announced long-term contracts for 35 new FlexRigs with nine customers in the U.S. As of February 10, 2014, 15 of the 35 announced FlexRigs have already been delivered. Once the remaining rigs are completed, the Company’s global fleet is expected to include 336 FlexRigs.

H&P’s New Build Program Continues H&P plans to continue a build cadence of two rigs per month through March and then increase to three rigs per month through the rest of the fiscal year. We have the flexibility to modify our production cadence and our capital spares capacity. This approach has allowed us to quickly respond to the recent uptick in FlexRig demand.
