NOTE 17 BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION | ||||||||||||||
Description of the Business
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the naming convention for one of our reportable segments changed from Offshore Gulf of Mexico to Offshore Solutions. Beginning on the Closing Date, Offshore Solutions now includes the results from the acquired KCA Deutag offshore management contract operations. Similarly, our International Solutions segment now includes the results from the acquired KCA Deutag land operations. Operating results related to KCA Deutag's BENTEC™ business unit are included in "Other" along with results from our real estate operations and our wholly-owned captive insurance companies. Our North America Solutions operating segment remains unchanged. For additional information regarding the completion of the Acquisition, refer to Note 3—Business Combination.
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 the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and Australia. 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, International Solutions, and Offshore 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. External revenues included in “Other” primarily consist of rental, manufacturing and engineering services income.
Segment Performance
Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is John Lindsay, Director and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income (loss) before income taxes. Components within segment operating income (loss), such as operating revenues and direct operating expenses, are used to monitor actual performance against forecasted results for each segment.
Segment operating income (loss) before income taxes includes:
•Revenues from external and internal customers
•Direct operating costs
•Depreciation and amortization
•Research and development
•Allocated general and administrative costs
•Acquisition transaction costs
•Asset impairment charges
•Restructuring charges
but excludes gain on reimbursement of drilling equipment, other loss on sale of assets, corporate selling, general and administrative costs, corporate depreciation, corporate acquisition transactions costs, corporate asset impairment charges, 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 fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 is shown in the following tables:

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
