Filing Explained

As of June 30, 2026, the filing reports the company’s liquidity, debt position and debt repayment alongside dividends paid.

The August 5 Form 8-K furnishes the company’s fiscal third-quarter results and related financial condition information; its structural consequence for existing common holders is added visibility into liquidity, debt reduction and cash returned through dividends.

Form 8-K Item 2.02 is used here to furnish results of operations, so this filing records the reporting event and attached release rather than documenting a new ownership or issuance transaction. At June 30, 2026, the company reported cash and equivalents, long-term debt and current debt.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Consolidated adjusted EBITDA(2) totaled $236 million."
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.
direct margin financial
"direct margin(3) of $241 million or $18,669 per day."
Direct margin measures the profit left from sales after subtracting the costs that can be traced directly to producing those goods or services — for example raw materials, production labor, and shipping. Think of it as the money remaining from the price a customer pays once the immediate costs of making and delivering the item are covered; investors use it to see how efficiently a company turns sales into cash before overhead and other indirect expenses.
involuntary conversion financial
"Gain on involuntary conversion | (13,581)"
An involuntary conversion occurs when an asset is lost, destroyed, stolen, condemned, or otherwise disposed of because of events beyond the owner’s control, and the owner receives cash or replacement property instead. It matters to investors because the receipt of insurance proceeds or forced sale proceeds can create a taxable gain and change a company’s reported assets, cash position, or future investment plans—think of it like an insured car being totaled and you getting a payout that may differ from what you originally paid.
select items financial
"excluding the impact of 'select items' which management defines"
super-spec rig technical
"supply and demand dynamics continue to evolve for the super-spec rig market"
Consolidated revenue $1.035 billion Up from $932,362 thousand in the March 31, 2026 quarter.
Net income attributable to Helmerich & Payne, Inc. $75,682 thousand Improved from net loss of $58,609 thousand in the prior quarter.
Diluted EPS $0.74 Versus $(0.59) diluted EPS in the March 31, 2026 quarter.
Adjusted net loss $9,880 thousand Narrowed from adjusted net loss of $38,231 thousand in the prior quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA $236,066 thousand Higher than $177,899 thousand in the March 31, 2026 quarter.
Guidance

For Q4 2026, management guided North America Solutions direct margin of $245–$255 million on 145–151 average rigs, International Solutions direct margin of $25–$45 million on 60–70 rigs, and Offshore Solutions direct margin of $26–$30 million.

Management Commentary

“H&P delivered strong financial and operational results during the quarter. We generated direct margins that exceeded the midpoint of guidance ranges in all segments as well as strong adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows.” said President and CEO Trey Adams. “Our performance reflects the disciplined execution of our teams and the strength of our diversified global portfolio.”

“While near-term market conditions remain fluid, particularly in the Middle East, underlying trends across our portfolio continue to improve. Recent geopolitical events continue to highlight the importance of energy security and reliable supply, reinforcing the need for continued investment in oil and gas development to help meet global energy demand. Against this backdrop, customer activity remains constructive, supporting demand for high-performance drilling solutions as the industry looks toward 2027."

“In North America Solutions, activity growth was primarily driven by increased drilling demand from private and smaller independent operators. While industry supply and demand dynamics continue to evolve for the super-spec rig market, current conditions continue to support strong utilization levels and solid margin performance. H&P is well equipped to quickly meet rising customer demand, benefiting from our industry leading scale, uniform fleet and reactivation costs.”

“Our International Solutions segment is building momentum across key markets as we leverage the advantages of our large homogeneous fleet and diversified footprint. In Argentina, we are putting additional rigs back to work, supported by development of the Vaca Muerta shale basin. Technology adoption remains strong, and we continue to see attractive growth opportunities driven by resource scale, improving infrastructure, and rising demand for super-spec drilling solutions, which are contributing to organic margin expansion across the segment. In the Middle East, we continued rig reactivations in Saudi Arabia while focusing on the safety of our people and maintaining continuity of operations across our core operating countries.”

“Our Offshore Solutions segment delivered another quarter of strong operational and financial results. This was driven by the achievement of several performance-related bonuses during the quarter. Offshore continues to provide stability and strategic value through its long‑term contract portfolio and strong free cash flow generation,” Adams continued.

Senior Vice President and CFO Todd Scruggs added, “In conjunction with our strong financial performance and improving market outlook, we are embarking on company-wide initiatives focused on increasing efficiency, reducing cost, simplifying our portfolio, and streamlining support functions. These actions are designed to enhance margins, strengthen free cash flow generation, and accelerate deleveraging. As we look ahead, we remain committed to balancing debt reduction, maintaining our base dividend, and investing with discipline to support growth opportunities, ensuring we are well positioned regardless of how market conditions evolve.”

“We are encouraged by the momentum across our business,” Adams concluded. “With our leading super‑
spec fleet, strong international presence, differentiated technology portfolio, and resilient offshore business, we believe H&P is positioned to create long-term value for shareholders. None of that would be possible without the commitment and expertise of our employees, whose focus on safety and operational excellence continues to drive our success.”

(1) Adjusted net income, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is defined as net income (loss), excluding the impact of 'select items' which management defines as certain items that do not reflect the ongoing performance of our core business operations. Adjusted net income is included as supplemental disclosure as management uses it to assess and understand current operational performance, especially in analyzing historical trends which are used in forecasting future period results. For this reason, we believe this measure will be useful information to investors. The presence of non-GAAP metrics is not intended to suggest that such measures should be considered as a substitute for certain GAAP metrics and, given that not all companies define adjusted net income the same way, this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics disclosed by other companies. See Non-GAAP Measurements for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is considered to be a non-GAAP metric. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on asset sales, other income and expense - which includes interest income and interest expense, and excludes the impact of 'select items' which management defines as certain items that do not reflect the ongoing performance of our core business operations. Adjusted EBITDA is included as supplemental disclosure as management uses it to assess and understand current operational performance, especially in analyzing historical trends which are used in forecasting future period results. For this reason, we believe this measure will be useful information to investors. The presence of non-GAAP metrics is not intended to suggest that such measures should be considered as a substitute for certain GAAP metrics and, given that not all companies define Adjusted EBITDA the same way, this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics disclosed by other companies. See Non-GAAP Measurements for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is defined as operating revenues (less reimbursements) less direct operating expenses (less reimbursements) and is included as a supplemental disclosure. We believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. See Non-GAAP Measurements for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to direct margin. Expected direct margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future items and adjustments, which could be significant, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of expected direct margin to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

(4) The adjusted measures excluding select items are considered non-GAAP metrics and are included as a supplemental disclosure as the Company believes identifying and excluding select items is useful in assessing and understanding current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time involving previous and subsequent periods and/or forecasting future periods results. Select items are excluded as they are deemed to be outside the Company's core business operations. See Non-GAAP Measurements.

(1)These operating metrics and financial data, including average active rigs, are provided to allow investors to analyze the various components of segment financial results in terms of activity, utilization and other key results. Management uses these metrics to analyze historical segment financial results and as the key inputs for forecasting and budgeting segment financial results.
(2)Direct margin, which is considered a non-GAAP metric, is defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses and is included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. See — Non-GAAP Measurements below for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to direct margin.
(3)Defined as the number of contractual days for owned and leased rigs with recognized revenue during the period.
(4)Active rigs generate revenue for the Company; accordingly, 'average active rigs' represents the average number of rigs generating revenue during the applicable time period. This metric is calculated by dividing revenue days by total days in the applicable period (i.e. 91 days for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, 90 days for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 273 days for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025).
(5)Defined as the number of rigs generating revenue at the applicable end date of the time period.

Segment operating income (loss) for all segments is a non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s performance, as it excludes gain on involuntary conversion, gain on reimbursement of drilling equipment, other gain (loss) on sale of assets, corporate selling, general and administrative costs, corporate depreciation, corporate acquisition transaction and integration costs, corporate asset impairment charges, and corporate restructuring charges. The Company considers segment operating income (loss) to be an important supplemental measure of operating performance for presenting trends in the Company’s core businesses. This measure is used by the Company to facilitate period-to-period comparisons in operating performance of the Company’s reportable segments in the aggregate by eliminating items that affect comparability between periods. The Company believes that segment operating income (loss) is useful to investors because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the segments and the Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our internal decision makers. Additionally, it highlights operating trends and aids analytical comparisons. However, segment operating income (loss) has limitations and should not be used as an alternative to operating income or loss, a performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, as it excludes certain costs that may affect the Company’s operating performance in future periods.
The following table reconciles operating income (loss) per the information above to income (loss) before income taxes as reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF DIRECT MARGIN
Direct margin is considered a non-GAAP metric. We define "direct margin" as operating revenues less direct operating expenses. Direct margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it is useful in assessing and understanding our current operational performance, especially in making comparisons over time. Direct margin is not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures.
The following table reconciles direct margin to segment operating income (loss), which we believe is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to direct margin.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA and 'Select Items' are considered to be non-GAAP metrics. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on asset sales, other income and expense - which includes interest income and interest expense, and excludes the impact of 'select items' which management defines as certain items that do not reflect the ongoing performance of our core business operations. These metrics are included as supplemental disclosures as management uses them to assess and understand current operational performance, especially in analyzing historical trends which are used in forecasting future period results. For this reason, we believe this measure will be useful information to investors. The presence of non-GAAP metrics is not intended to suggest that such measures should be considered as a substitute for certain GAAP metrics and, given that not all companies define Adjusted EBITDA the same way, this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics disclosed by other companies.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which we believe is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA.
