Gulfport Energy Q3 2026 profit falls to $96.4M
Approximately $800 million of capacity remained under the expanded stock-repurchase authorization at September 30, 2026.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Gulfport Energy Corporation (GPOR) reported third-quarter 2026 results for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Revenue was $362.5 million versus $379.7 million in third-quarter 2025, and net income was $96.4 million versus $111.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $226.5 million versus $213.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $183.6 million and adjusted free cash flow was $89.0 million. Production averaged 1,057.2 MMcfe per day; incurred capital expenditures were $111.7 million.
As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $2.6 million, revolving-credit borrowings were $419.0 million, and 2029 senior notes were $650.0 million; liquidity was approximately $645.6 million. Gulfport expanded its repurchase authorization to $2.0 billion and repurchased approximately 218,700 shares for $36.2 million in the quarter, with approximately $800 million remaining. Gulfport signed a 50,000 MMBtu-per-day gas agreement beginning in 2028; together with a prior 65,000 MMBtu-per-day agreement beginning in mid-2027, contracted volumes represent approximately 10% of forecast net production. 2026 guidance includes average daily gas-equivalent production of 1.030–1.055 Bcfe/day and approximately $430 million of total base capital expenditures.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

OKLAHOMA CITY (November 4, 2026) Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Nick Dell’Osso, Gulfport’s President and CEO, commented, “Our 2026 development program gained significant momentum in the third quarter. As planned, our back-half-weighted turn-in-line schedule drove production up approximately 10% from the second quarter, led by new liquids-rich wet gas Utica pads, with liquids now representing approximately 13% of total volumes. That higher-value production mix, combined with strong realized liquids pricing and our disciplined cost structure, translated directly into stronger margins and earnings, with adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow both up meaningfully from the second quarter. We expect to continue building on that strength in the fourth quarter, keeping us on track to deliver full-year production and capital expenditures in line with our guidance.”
Dell’Osso continued, “We also continued to enhance the depth of our inventory, completing the Ohio state land acquisitions, and expect to complete our $140 million 2026 discretionary acreage acquisition program by year-end through disciplined, targeted leasing in the core of our position. As we look to 2027, we are evaluating a more continuous two-rig Appalachia development program, which we believe will drive meaningful operational efficiencies through steadier rig and crew utilization, lower our development costs, concentrate capital in our highest-return asset area and position the business for production growth beginning in 2028. This shift in capital allocation would allow Gulfport to balance reinvestment with returns to shareholders while preserving our strong balance sheet, and we look forward to sharing our full 2027 outlook in February.”
“With a high-quality, deep and concentrated asset base in the heart of Appalachia, adjacent to growing power demand in Ohio, a strong financial foundation and an expanded stock repurchase authorization, we believe we are well positioned to generate durable adjusted free cash flow and deliver meaningful value to our shareholders,” Dell’Osso concluded.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Gulfport’s management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, and believes that they are useful tools to assess Gulfport’s operating results. Although these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating Gulfport because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, (ii) these metrics are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, and (iii) we want to provide updated information to investors. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because all companies do not calculate these measures identically, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and recurring general and administrative expense. A reconciliation of each financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the tables below. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
| Page 14 |
Definitions
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income less non-cash derivative (gain) loss, non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, costs associated with management transitions, stock-based compensation expenses, other non-material expenses and the tax effect of the adjustments to net income.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, non-cash derivative loss (gain), non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, costs associated with management transitions, stock-based compensation and other non-material expenses.
Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as adjusted EBITDA plus certain non-cash items that are included in net cash provided by operating activities but excluded from adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, current income tax expense (benefit), capitalized expenses incurred and capital expenditures incurred. Gulfport includes an adjusted free cash flow estimate for 2026. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to arrive at adjusted free cash flow include interest expense, income taxes, capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
Recurring general and administrative expense is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to general and administrative expense (GAAP) plus capitalized general and administrative expense, less non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing and costs associated with management transitions. Gulfport includes a recurring general and administrative expense estimate for 2026. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in general and administrative expense to arrive at recurring general and administrative expense include capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The non-GAAP measure recurring general and administrative expenses allows investors to compare Gulfport’s total general and administrative expenses, including capitalization, to peer companies that account for their oil and gas operations using the successful efforts method.
