Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (HP) filed an SEC Form 8-K — Results of Operations and Financial Condition. EX-99.1 2 q3fy26earningsrelease.htm EX-99.1 Document Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE August 5, 2026 HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL THIRD QUARTER RESULTS Operating and Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 • H&P announced consolidated revenue of $1.035 billi
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Key disclosed items include consolidated revenue and earnings, adjusted EBITDA, segment operating income/loss and direct margins, rig deployment/reactivation activity, a four-year Norway offshore contract renewal supporting offshore backlog, and a dividend return to shareholders.
Market read
This is a company-specific earnings release with multiple fresh operating and backlog datapoints that can drive same-day positioning and near-term estimates.
What to watch
Net income includes a large gain from the sale of Utica Square (about $115M); traders may discount headline EPS and focus on adjusted losses, free cash flow, and the sustainability of direct margin expansion.
Background
The 8-K includes Exhibit 99.1 with Helmerich & Payne’s fiscal third-quarter results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, plus management commentary by CEO Trey Adams and CFO Todd Scruggs.
Ticker impact
Helmerich & Payne reported fiscal Q3 results with $1.035B revenue, $76M net income, and segment margin changes plus a Norway offshore contract renewal.
Bias to the upside on earnings-day reaction, with follow-through tied to whether investors focus on adjusted EBITDA/free cash flow and the offshore backlog strength.
The filing discloses multiple concrete, decision-relevant datapoints: consolidated revenue, net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, segment operating income/loss and direct margins, rig deployments, and a specific multi-year contract renewal that supports backlog visibility.
Market effects
Improving direct margins and contract/backlog commentary can reinforce sentiment toward oilfield services demand and super-spec rig utilization.
Middle East and international reactivation commentary (Saudi, Argentina Vaca Muerta) may influence regional risk perception for offshore and international drilling activity.
Energy security and ongoing investment themes are reiterated, but the actionable signal is company-specific backlog and margin performance.
Counterpoint
International Solutions still shows an operating loss (about $(54)M), so the consolidated strength may be partially offset by weaker international profitability and one-time items.
