Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gulfport Energy reported second‑quarter 2026 net income of $87.1 million on total revenues of $323.2 million, down from $184.5 million and $447.6 million a year earlier, as realized commodity prices declined. Adjusted EBITDA was $179.1 million and adjusted free cash flow was $6.4 million, with net cash provided by operating activities of $149.9 million.

Average production was 962.8 MMcfe per day, 91% natural gas, with lease operating expense of $0.23 per Mcfe. Capital investment in the quarter was $148.6 million, and full‑year 2026 base capital expenditures are now guided to about $430 million, including $35 million for maintenance land and seismic. Gulfport expanded its core Utica position by 4,700 net undeveloped acres and plans about $140 million of additional discretionary acreage acquisitions during 2026, which together are expected to increase Utica net inventory by more than 20% and extend the development runway by over 2.5 years. The company repurchased 392.2 thousand shares for $70.0 million in Q2 and 1.3 million shares for $242.8 million year‑to‑date, has $336.8 million of remaining authorization, and reported liquidity of $772.4 million at June 30, 2026. Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Michael Hodges has resigned effective August 5, 2026, and will advise the company through September 1 while a search for his successor is conducted.

Positive

  • Strong year‑to‑date profitability: For the first six months of 2026, net income was $252.9 million, up from $184.0 million in the prior‑year period, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $443.3 million from $430.6 million.
  • Solid cash generation: Net cash provided by operating activities reached $442.8 million for the first half of 2026, supporting $125.4 million of adjusted free cash flow after capital expenditures and other adjustments.
  • Large, growing inventory in core Utica: Ohio state land acquisitions added 4,700 net undeveloped acres and about 16 net wet gas locations, and together with the 2026 acreage program are expected to boost Utica net inventory by more than 20% and extend the development runway by over 2.5 years.
  • Material capital returns via buybacks: Since March 2022, the company has repurchased about 8.6 million shares for roughly $1.2 billion in aggregate; as of June 30, 2026, $336.8 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

Negative

  • Weaker Q2 results versus prior year: Second‑quarter 2026 net income of $87.1 million and revenues of $323.2 million declined from $184.5 million and $447.6 million in second‑quarter 2025, reflecting lower commodity realizations and reduced production volumes.
  • CFO resignation: Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Michael Hodges notified the company on July 31, 2026 of his decision to resign effective August 5, 2026, creating near‑term leadership transition risk despite no stated disagreement over operations or financial reporting.

adjusted EBITDA financial
"Reported $87.1 million of net income and $179.1 million of adjusted EBITDA (1)"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
adjusted free cash flow financial
"Generated $149.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $6.4 million of adjusted free cash flow"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
liquidity financial
"Gulfport’s liquidity at June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $772.4 million"
Liquidity is how easily and quickly an asset or investment can be converted into cash without losing value. It matters to investors because higher liquidity means they can access their money quickly if needed, while lower liquidity can make it harder to sell assets promptly or at a fair price, potentially creating financial challenges. Think of it like trying to sell a common item versus a rare collectible—it's much easier to sell the common item fast.
basis contract financial
"Basis Contract Summary: Rex Zone 3 Basis ... Tetco M2 Basis ... NGPL TX OK Basis"
Chapter 11 filing regulatory
"expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing"

Gulfport Energy Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results and Provides Outlook on Discretionary Acreage Opportunities

 

OKLAHOMA CITY (August 3, 2026) Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Second Quarter 2026

 

Reported $87.1 million of net income and $179.1 million of adjusted EBITDA(1)
   
Generated $149.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $6.4 million of adjusted free cash flow(1)
   
Produced approximately 962.8 MMcfe per day
   
Incurred $148.6 million of capital expenditures, which includes $141.7 million of operated D&C capital expenditures and $6.9 million of maintenance land and seismic investment
   
Repurchased approximately 392.2 thousand shares of common stock for approximately $70.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026
   
Repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $242.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026
   
Updating full-year base capital expenditure guidance to approximately $430 million, including $35 million for maintenance land and seismic investments

 

Recent Inventory Additions and Discretionary Acreage Acquisition Outlook

 

Expanded core Utica inventory through the previously announced Ohio state land acquisitions, adding 4,700 net undeveloped acres and approximately 16 net wet gas locations (normalized to 15,000-foot laterals) in the highest-return tier of our development inventory, with operations expected to commence in 2027
   
Announcing new discretionary acreage acquisition program, targeting an additional $140 million during the remainder of 2026, including $40.3 million deployed in the second quarter of 2026
   
Anticipates this level of investment will add approximately 40 net high-quality, low-breakeven locations that compete favorably for near-term capital within Gulfport’s returns-driven development portfolio
   
Together with the Ohio state land lease acquisition, these investments are expected to increase total Utica net inventory by more than 20% and extend development runway by more than 2.5 years

 

 

 

 

Nick Dell’Osso, Gulfport’s President and CEO, commented, “During the second quarter, we continued to execute on our development plan while taking meaningful steps to enhance the depth of our inventory with the addition of top-tier locations. Through the Ohio state land lease acquisition, we expanded our core Utica position with highly productive, liquids-rich wet gas acreage that represents some of the highest-return opportunities in our portfolio and integrates seamlessly into our near-term development plan. Building on this momentum, our land team continues to identify and negotiate attractive opportunities to expand our leading Ohio natural gas inventory through disciplined, targeted leasing. We expect to allocate approximately $140 million toward additional targeted discretionary acquisitions through year-end 2026, focusing on opportunities that enhance our core position, drive capital-efficient returns and further strengthen the long-term value and durability of our asset base.”

 

Dell’Osso continued, “Our Utica and Marcellus development programs continue to deliver, highlighted by early results from our latest Marcellus pad that have exceeded expectations. Brought online under disciplined choke management, the pad is achieving stronger oil recoveries than nearby offset wells, supported by longer laterals and improved drilling efficiencies. These advancements are driving enhanced well-level economics and greater capital efficiency. Additionally, with two wet gas Utica pads recently completed near our Ohio state land lease acquisition, we anticipate a meaningful increase in liquids production during the second half of the year, positioning us to capture strong adjusted free cash flow in the current commodity price environment. With a significant portion of our 2026 capital program now complete, we expect full-year base capital expenditures to total approximately $430 million, including $35 million for maintenance land and seismic investments.”

 

“Looking ahead, our priorities are clear: continue to improve capital efficiency across the business to reduce our breakevens and reinvestment rate, expand our inventory through disciplined and value-accretive acreage additions, preserve balance sheet strength and return excess cash to shareholders. We will continue to evaluate our capital allocation opportunities competitively and seek the optimal balance between strategic inventory expansion and opportunistic share repurchases, with each decision guided by returns, market conditions and our financial position. We remain committed to maintaining a conservative mid-cycle leverage profile and believe we are well positioned to build net asset value and deliver durable, long-term returns for 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 measure should be considered in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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 the Chief Executive Officer transition, 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 the Chief Executive Officer transition, 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. 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.
