Helmerich and Payne Inc
Investor Relations

Helmerich & Payne is an oilfield services company that drills wells for oil and natural gas producers. It owns and operates drilling rigs, along with the equipment and crews needed to drill horizontal and directional wells, especially on land in the United States. Its customers are energy companies and independent producers that need reliable drilling capacity without owning all the rigs themselves. The company makes money mainly by charging customers to use its rigs and drilling services under contract. In simple terms, customers pay for access to the rig, the crew, and the expertise needed to drill efficiently and safely. Helmerich & Payne sits in the middle of the energy supply chain: it does not produce oil or gas itself, but it helps producers reach the reserves underground. What makes the business different is that it is built around drilling execution, not selling a finished product. Its value comes from rig reliability, operating discipline, and the ability to drill complex wells better than a generic contractor. That makes it a specialized partner for exploration and production companies that want dependable drilling performance and a large, experienced rig fleet.

AI Summary
Q2 2026

Quarter: H&P reported $932 million of revenue and $178 million of adjusted EBITDA, with results held back by Middle East disruption and higher reactivation costs.

North America: Management said the second fiscal quarter was the trough for North America Solutions and raised full-year rig count guidance to 138 to 144 rigs.

Middle East: Conflict-related disruptions in Iraq, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia increased costs, but the company still expects International Solutions to improve toward a $45 million quarterly run rate.

Growth drivers: H&P highlighted stronger demand for super-spec rigs, growing FlexRobotics adoption, and improving activity in Latin America and offshore.

Balance sheet: The Tulsa real estate sale helped H&P pay off its term loan ahead of schedule, with leverage moving toward its 1 turn target.

Cash flow: Free cash flow was hurt by timing and tax items, and management said full-year conversion will be lower than previously expected but still better than last year.
