Hornbeck Offshore posts Q3 2026 results and lifts 2027 adjusted EBITDA guidance after Helix merger

Hornbeck Offshore Services reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $293.3 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $106 million, while posting a net loss of $85.7 million. The company announced new multi‑year contracts with Shell and a North Sea decommissioning deal, and said it has realized $20 million of annualized cost savings. It reaffirmed guidance for Q4 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $90‑$100 million and raised full‑year 2027 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $500‑$550 million, citing synergies from the September 1 merger with Helix.

The company expects the Helix combination to drive significant EBITDA growth, targeting $500‑$550 million in 2027, which could improve cash generation and valuation. Investors will watch whether the announced contracts and cost‑saving initiatives translate into the projected synergies.
