Thank you, Ashley, and welcome everyone to Helmerich & Payne Conference Call Webcast for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. With us today are John Lindsey, President and CEO; and Mark Smith, Senior Vice President and CFO. Both John, and Mark will be sharing some comments with us afterwards, we'll open the call for questions. Before we begin our prepared remarks today, I'll remind everyone that this call will include forward looking statements as defined under the securities laws. Such statements are based upon current information and management's expectations as of this date, and they're not guaranteed the future performance.
Reporting statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. As such are actual outcomes and results could differ materially. You can learn more about these risks in our annual report on Form 10-K, or quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and or other SEC filings. You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements and we undertake no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements. We will also make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as segment direct margin and other operating statistics. You'll find the GAAP reconciliation, comments and calculations in yesterday's press release.
With that said, I'll now turn the call over to John Lindsay.
John Lindsay
Thank you, Dave. Good morning, everyone. And thank you for joining our call today. I'm pleased with our performance during the quarter. The operational and financial results continue to reflect the benefits of our strategic initiatives we've been working on for several years now. In particular, the efforts by our sales and operations teams to improve pricing and margin growth in our North America solutions segment. On our earnings call last February, and again in April, we discussed how rig pricing needed to reach $30,000 per day. And in our third fiscal quarter, we had roughly 20% of our fleet average revenue per day at or above that level.
