<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Board of Directors of Helmerich &amp; Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) announced today that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Lindsay will retire as CEO and director following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on March 4, 2026. The Board has appointed Raymond John “Trey” Adams, President, to succeed Lindsay as CEO, effective following the Annual Meeting and has nominated Adams to stand for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Lindsay will continue serving as a senior advisor through December 2026 to support a smooth transition. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are pleased to announce Trey’s promotion to CEO. This is the next logical step in the company’s succession process that has been underway for several years,” said Hans Helmerich, Chairman the Board. “Trey brings proven operational excellence, leadership skills and a clear vision for innovation and growth. He embodies the H&amp;P Way and the future of our company.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> “I am grateful for the trust the Board has placed in me and honored to follow John’s leadership,” Adams said. “John has successfully guided H&amp;P through some of the most important chapters in our history, and his impact will be felt for years to come. Our focus remains the same: our people, safety, performance, technology and partnership with our customers. I am excited for what we will achieve together in the years ahead.’” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Adams has worked across many parts of the business and led programs that combine drilling know-how with integrated technology to deliver value for customers. As President and CEO, Adams will continue to focus on performance, safety, customer partnerships, disciplined growth and strong financial execution that delivers long-term shareholder value. His leadership approach reflects a continued commitment to practical capital allocation and strategic investments that advances H&amp;P’s competitive position. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In announcing this leadership transition, Helmerich also recognizes the significant impact of Lindsay’s tenure. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“John has been an exemplary leader for H&amp;P,” Helmerich continued. “He successfully guided the company through challenging cycles and major transitions. His integrity and steady leadership strengthened H&amp;P and helped shape the culture that defines us today. We are grateful for his service and the lasting impact he has made.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During his 12 years as CEO Lindsay led H&amp;P through significant periods in its history. He guided the company through multiple industry cycles and a global pandemic while strengthening its culture and financial discipline. He also played a defining role in transforming U.S. shale development through strategic investments in rigs and technology, including advancing the impact of the FlexRig — a breakthrough design that set a new standard for performance and reshaped the future of land drilling. Under his leadership H&amp;P became recognized as the world’s leading land driller and expanded its global footprint. Lindsay made technology central to how H&amp;P operates and spearheaded the acquisition of five technology companies that modernized the company’s capabilities and improved customer performance. He championed The H&amp;P Way and fostered a culture rooted in integrity, teamwork, service and innovation. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lindsay said, “It has been an honor to serve as CEO. I am proud of our people and confident in H&amp;P’s future. Trey is ready for this role and the leadership team is strong. I look forward to supporting a smooth transition.”</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Management Commentary </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Fiscal 2025 was a historic year for H&amp;P, as we grew our global drilling footprint to over 200 operating rigs, surpassed over $1 billion of direct margins in our North American Solutions business, welcomed the talented team from KCA Deutag, and established new relationships with a diverse set of global customers,” commented CEO John Lindsay. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In NAS, our strong customer partnerships and disciplined focus on sustainable economic returns continue to deliver market-leading results. Despite a decline in the industry’s overall rig count, NAS achieved another year of exceptional results, underscoring the effectiveness of our operations and sales teams to deliver win/win solutions with customers. Assuming current commodity prices, we continue to expect stable activity trends in the Lower 48 throughout 2026 and remain committed to financial discipline while continuing to deliver mutually beneficial outcomes with our customers.&#8221; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“For our International Solutions segment, fiscal 2025 was particularly meaningful. We started operations for our eight FlexRigs in Saudi Arabia, completed the acquisition of KCA Deutag, and continued to grow our global presence, with operations now spanning six continents. With the right assets, people, customer relationships, and operating scale, we are well-positioned to capitalize on international opportunities,” Lindsay concluded. As evidenced by our recent rig reactivations in Saudi Arabia and our numerous conversations with multiple national oil companies, international oil companies, and independents throughout the region, we’re confident our proven drilling solutions and technologies can deliver significant value to international clients.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In our Offshore Solutions segment, the inclusion of the legacy KCAD operation added significant scale during fiscal 2025, and we realized record margins of nearly $35 million during the fourth quarter as we enjoyed the full benefit of increased rig utilization. We are optimistic about Offshore Solutions going forward, and believe there are numerous opportunities to expand our footprint in this capital-efficient business.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Senior Vice President and CFO Kevin Vann commented, &#8220;As we enter fiscal year 2026, our planned capital expenditures represent a meaningful reduction from H&amp;P&#8217;s fiscal year 2025 spend. We remain focused on generating strong free cash flow and accelerating debt reduction, as demonstrated by repayment of $210 million on the term loan through October, which was well ahead of schedule. We now expect to fully repay all $400 million by the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2026. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We have made solid progress in streaming our cost structure and have a clear line of sight on further improvements,” Vann said. Our fiscal year 2026 General and Administrative expense guidance represents a decrease of over $50 million relative to proforma annualized 2025, and we expect to realize additional savings which will accrue directly to operating margins in our core businesses.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lindsay concluded, &#8220;While 2025 brought many achievements, I’m even more excited about the prospects and opportunities ahead. As we enter 2026, our industry-leading technology, performance-driven innovations, and expanding global scale position us to deliver even greater results. We are optimistic about the sector&#8217;s long-term prospects and believe our global scale will allow our shareholders to benefit for decades to come. With a talented and dedicated workforce, an unwavering focus on safety, and a customer-centered approach, I am confident H&amp;P is poised for continued success and long-term value creation for our shareholders.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Operating Segment Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>North America Solutions:</strong> Realized operating income of $118 million, compared to $158 million during the previous quarter. Direct margin(2) slightly exceeded the midpoint of guidance, totaling approximately $242 million compared to approximately $266 million during the previous quarter. On a per day basis, direct margin was approximately $18,620 with an average of 141 rigs running. Innovations such as our performance contracts continue to help NAS to deliver peer leading margins. During the quarter approximately 50% of the NAS active rigs utilized performance contracts. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>International Solutions:</strong> This segment had operating loss of $(75) million, compared to a loss of approximately $(167) million during the previous quarter which included a one-time goodwill impairment of $(128) million. Direct margin(2) again exceeded the midpoint of guidance, totaling approximately $30 million compared to approximately $34 million during the previous quarter. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Offshore Solutions:</strong> Contributed operating income of approximately $20 million, compared to approximately $9 million during the previous quarter, representing an increase of $11 million. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to increased rig utilization. Direct margin(2) exceeded the guidance range, realizing record margins of approximately $35 million compared to approximately $23 million during the previous quarter.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helmerich &amp; Payne, Inc. (NYSE: HP) today announced that notice has been received to recommence operations on seven land rigs in Saudi Arabia that are currently under suspension. The reactivations will occur in stages throughout the first half of calendar year 2026. In accordance with the terms of the drilling contracts, all days accrued during each rig’s suspension period will be added to its remaining contract. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“These reactivations demonstrate the strong, long-term partnership we’ve built with our customers and their continued confidence in H&amp;P’s performance and reliability,” said John Lindsay, chief executive officer. “They also mark a positive step forward as we strengthen our international operations and build upon the solid foundation established through the KCA Deutag acquisition. As activity increases, we remain focused on safely delivering exceptional results and innovative solutions that help our customers achieve their goals.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> H&amp;P’s growing footprint in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia underscores the company’s strategic commitment to the Eastern Hemisphere, where demand for advanced drilling solutions and skilled crews continues to increase. The company continues to leverage its existing FlexRig® fleet and advanced technologies to deliver efficient, reliable and sustainable drilling operations that support its customers’ long-term goals. These reactivations reflect strengthening market conditions we are experiencing across the Middle East and reinforce H&amp;P’s role as a key drilling solutions provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By mid-2026, the company expects to operate 24 rigs in-country, including eight proprietary FlexRigs® and 16 rigs acquired through the KCA Deutag transaction.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What started as a personal connection in a leadership class has blossomed into recognition for H&amp;P’s legal department. The company has been named Publication Partner of the Year at the 2025 Good Apple Awards for their collaborative work on a <a href="https://www.homelessyouth.org/en/us/oklahoma">homeless youth handbook</a> for the state of Oklahoma.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large" style="--custom-outline-gradient:linear-gradient(90deg, #24C26B 0%, #00B2E3 25%, #2B5597 75%)"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Image-7-scaled-e1759785298391-1024x978.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7664"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>From Leadership Class to Life-Changing Partnership</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The journey began more than a year ago when Cara Hair, senior vice president of corporate services, chief legal and compliance officer, attended a leadership class where Colleen McCarty, executive director of <a href="https://www.okappleseed.org/">Oklahoma Appleseed</a>, spoke about their justice initiatives. Hair was immediately drawn to the organization’s mission and reached out to explore volunteer opportunities.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oklahoma Appleseed had been planning to create a comprehensive homeless youth handbook — a resource desperately needed in a state where homeless youth living without a parent or guardian increased by 29% from 2020 to 2022, with an estimated 120,000 homeless youth across the state.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The handbook is for youth into their 20s and details how kids can get a state-issued ID or their rights when staying at a homeless shelter,” Hair said. “It covers everything across the legal gambit that homeless youth might be facing.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hair with her legal background saw a great opportunity to give back.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Building the Dream Team</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Oklahoma Appleseed approached Hair about partnering with their existing law firm on the project, she immediately thought of her colleagues. After discussing the opportunity with Debra Stockton, vice president of general counsel western hemisphere and human resources, and polling the legal team, there was clear interest in participating. However, recognizing that their relatively small legal department would need additional resources for such an ambitious project, Hair and Stockton reached out to a friend in Williams Company’s legal department.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our legal department is small, but the handbook is large. We weren’t going to have enough resources,” Hair noted. “We decided to reach out to <a href="https://www.williams.com/">Williams</a>, another energy company, to see if they would be interested.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">H&amp;P employees involved include Cara Hair, Quinn Cooper Eves, Brad Brown, Lisa Goforth, Debra Stockton, Karsten Irwin, Ellen Cordell, Sheli Friend, Neisha Higgins, Nikki Diacon, Valerie Vaughan and Heather Stephen.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team had to take a divide-and-conquer approach. Individuals researched and wrote chapters, which covered different topics, for the handbook.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They would then swap chapters to edit each other’s work. They also had a few editing sessions where they got together to go over the handbook.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>More Than Just Legal Work</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project, which officially kicked off in March 2024, became more than just a pro bono legal initiative. It served as an innovative teambuilding exercise that allowed the legal department to make a meaningful impact in their community while working together on something larger than themselves.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The comprehensive handbook covers crucial topics that homeless youth face daily: safety, addiction treatment, rights in school, temporary housing, employment, foster care and juvenile detention. It’s designed to be a lifeline for young people aging out of foster care and those facing homelessness, providing practical guidance when they need it most.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As an added benefit, the attorneys involved were able to earn continuing education credits through the training sessions, making the project professionally valuable as well as personally meaningful.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Recognition and Impact</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The collaboration between H&amp;P, Williams Company, <a href="https://www.bakermckenzie.com/en/">Baker McKenzie</a> and Oklahoma Appleseed caught the attention of the Good Apple Awards judges, earning the partners the prestigious Publication Partner of the Year award for 2025. While Hair admits she wasn’t initially familiar with the Good Apple Awards, the recognition serves as validation of the teams’ hard work and dedication.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It’s not why we did it, but it&#8217;s always nice to be recognized,” Hair reflected. “I’m very honored to have had that recognition of all of the work that the teams did.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Looking Ahead</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The handbook launched in September, joining other state versions available at <a href="https://www.homelessyouth.org/en/">homelessyouth.org</a>. What began as a desire to make a difference has evolved into an award-winning collaboration that will provide essential resources to thousands of vulnerable young people across Oklahoma.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project exemplifies how corporate social responsibility can create meaningful change while building stronger teams and partnerships. For H&amp;P’s legal department, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most impactful work happens when you step outside your comfort zone and answer the call to serve your community.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Hair noted, it’s also “a way to Do The Right Thing for our community” — a sentiment that captures H&amp;P’s core values.&nbsp;</p>

</div>



<p class="has-body-font-size wp-block-paragraph">H&amp;P Inc. announced today an enhanced leadership structure with three important promotions. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Effective Oct. 1, 2025, Raymond John (“Trey”) Adams III has been promoted to President, leading all the company’s revenue-generating business units. Senior executives reporting to Adams will be:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="wp-block-list-item">Mike Lennox, who has been promoted to Executive Vice President (EVP) of Western Hemisphere Land operations </li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">John Bell, who has been promoted to EVP of Eastern Hemisphere Land operations </li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Ole Maier, Senior Vice President (SVP) for Worldwide Offshore operations </li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Rebecca Clarke, SVP and President of BENTEC </li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I am proud of what our leadership team has accomplished in this challenging market,” said John Lindsay, Chief Executive Officer. “Trey’s promotion to President, along with the promotions of Mike Lennox and John Bell to Executive Vice Presidents, reflect the strength and readiness of our people to lead the company forward. This is the team, after all, that has positioned H&amp;P as the world’s leading land driller. Now they are ready to take H&amp;P to even higher levels of performance and growth.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Now is the right time to make these promotions,” explained Hans Helmerich, Chairman of the Board. “The initial integration of the KCAD acquisition is nearing completion and the company’s expanded global footprint across four continents creates important opportunities for growth. Trey and the leadership team have been shaping multiple growth initiatives and will be responsible for carrying them forward over the years.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Adams will become only the 5th President in the Company’s 105-year history. After joining in 2008, he has worked across nearly every part of the business, leading efforts to blend drilling know-how with technology solutions that deliver win-win results. As President of a global company, Adams will divide his time between North America, the U.K. and the Middle East, with an early focus on embedding H&amp;P’s capabilities into Middle East markets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lennox, now EVP of Western Hemisphere land operations, joined H&amp;P in 2008 and brings unmatched operational expertise and proven leadership. He has guided H&amp;P’s largest business segment while setting high standards for safety, performance, and culture. He has also built strong, long-standing customer relationships and advanced strategic initiatives that strengthened H&amp;P’s competitive position. Most recently, he has overseen the integration of H&amp;P and KCAD operations in South America while ensuring ongoing strength and consistency across North America Solutions. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bell, now EVP of Eastern Hemisphere land operations, joined H&amp;P in 1998 and brings a proven track record of global growth and innovation. He pioneered H&amp;P’s FlexRig® operations in the Middle East, played a central role in the KCAD acquisition, and led successful entries into Saudi Arabia and Australia by creating new partnership models tailored to customer needs. Recognized for both his commercial creativity and operational expertise, Bell is well-positioned to accelerate H&amp;P’s international expansion and deliver long-term value. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, these promotions demonstrate a depth of leadership experience that will guide H&amp;P into its next phase of growth.</p>

One Journey. campaign as we celebrate a defining moment in our company’s history — the coming together of two industry leaders to form one unified H&amp;P. This campaign represents more than just a rebrand or messaging initiative; it’s our commitment to building trust, fostering excitement and showcasing the&nbsp;opportunities that lie ahead as we combine our strengths.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two human resource professionals separated by 8,000 miles and 11 time zones connected for the first time to discuss a shared mission: integrating one unified workforce from two legacy companies. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Danielle Ford, an HR business partner in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Nuzrat Ul Ain, HR country manager for Pakistan, despite never having worked together before, quickly discovered shared values and approaches to supporting their teams. Their first conversation revealed how similar challenges across different continents can create strong foundations for future collaboration. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Getting to Know Each Other</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ford’s journey to HR began in 2022 when she joined H&amp;P as a corporate recruiter before transitioning to the HR Business Partner team in December 2023. She now supports H&amp;P’s FlexRig engineering and technology teams, bringing a fresh perspective to strategic HR initiatives.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As an HR Business Partner, my day-to-day involves a dynamic mix of strategic planning and hands-on support,” Ford explained.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her priorities center on employee engagement and development, change management, culture building and supporting talent management initiatives. Across the world, Ul Ain brings a diverse background to her role as country HR manager for Pakistan, having started with KCA Deutag in March 2021 as an HR admin. Her career path took her through marketing agencies and telecommunications before finding her way to oil and gas.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond work, both Ul Ain and Ford, are passionate about art and crafts. Ul Ain enjoys painting and other art forms including building 3D mini house structures while Ford is an avid crocheter.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Defining Success Through People</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both employees define success through their impact on people and business outcomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Success in my role is defined by the positive impact I have on both people and the business,” Ford said. “That means employees feel empowered, supported and aligned with the company’s mission.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ul Ain shares this people-first philosophy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Success in my role means creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported and motivated, while ensuring there is a balance with HR practices,” she said.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their “why” reveals a shared passion for human potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My ‘why’ is rooted in a deep belief that people are the heart of every successful organization,” Ford said. “I’m passionate about creating environments where individuals can thrive — where they feel seen, heard and valued.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ul Ain echoed this sentiment.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My passion is to work for people — I believe that when people feel heard, supported and empowered, they thrive and so does the business,” Ul Ain said. “I look for opportunities to make the work culture more relaxed and effective so that every individual is happy coming to work.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Safety and Wellbeing as Foundations</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both professionals prioritize safety and employee wellbeing, though their approaches reflect their different operational contexts. Ford sees HR’s role as “enablement,” explaining:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignleft is-resized" style="--custom-outline-gradient:linear-gradient(90deg, #24C26B 0%, #00B2E3 25%, #2B5597 75%); --img-width: 213px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1537" height="2305" src="https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-7391" style="width:213px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2.jpeg 1537w, https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2-200x300.jpeg 200w, https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https://www.hpinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Image-2-1366x2048.jpeg 1366w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1537px) 100vw, 1537px" /></figure>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Enabling the entire organization to perform their jobs safely and efficiently,” she said. “We achieve these things through policy development and enforcement, training and education, employee support and reporting, and culture and communication.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ul Ain prioritizes safety by encouraging individuals to report concerns without fear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Employee wellbeing is my priority. I have an open-door policy where any individual can come to my office and share their thoughts, and I make sure that their words are safe with me,” she said.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Integration Opportunity</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The KCA Deutag acquisition has both colleagues energized about future possibilities. Ford sees it as fulfilling H&amp;P’s long-term vision.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As long as I&#8217;ve been here, our goal has been to ‘Grow Global,’ and this acquisition was a major step in achieving that growth,” Ford said. “I believe that the opportunities are vast for H&amp;P to continue its excellence on a global scale.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ul Ain is particularly excited about the exchange potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I am excited to get to know different people with different cultures,” Ul Ain said. “This acquisition will give opportunity for growth and integration of global best practices. This opportunity opens door for global knowledge sharing.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Career Advice for the Next Generation</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They both offered practical wisdom for career starters.&nbsp;Ford sees the potential in small gestures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Be open-minded,” she said. “Conversations are free, and it might just end up being the best decision you’ve ever made.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ul Ain elaborated on Ford’s thoughts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Don’t be afraid to start small. Focus on learning, building relationships and understanding the business,” she said. “Ask questions, seek feedback and take ownership of your development. Most importantly, stay true to your values and don’t underestimate the impact you can make — even early in your career.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>One Team on One Journey</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ford’s perspective on the integration captures the essence of what makes this partnership promising.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There’s significant common ground between these established organizations regarding culture and values, yet I view our differences as offering just as much potential for growth and strength as our shared characteristics,” she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Management Commentary</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I am pleased with our fiscal third quarter operating results despite a challenging macro environment. Total direct margin<sup>(1)</sup> across our three operating segments was at the high end of our guidance ranges, reflecting the hard work from our operations and sales teams to deliver collaborative solutions with customers,” commented President and CEO John Lindsay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In NAS, our market share and financial performance remain the highest among our drilling peers, underscoring H&#038;P’s strong customer partnerships and focus on sustainable economic returns. Our resilient direct margins reflect the incorporation of our operational and technical performance with a dynamic, customer-centric commercial model and the continued use of mutually beneficial solutions such as our innovative performance contracts. While we expect a slight reduction in activity during our fiscal fourth quarter, we’re confident our NAS segment will continue to deliver market-leading results and solutions for our customers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Internationally, our expanded geographic footprint positions us as the premier land drilling company across the globe. We operate in the most prolific oil and gas producing regions in the world. In Saudi Arabia, our FlexRig unconventional startup has gained momentum, and we’re enthusiastic about showcasing our combined capabilities throughout our global operations. Meanwhile, our Offshore Solutions segment continues to generate steady cash flows, reflecting H&#038;P’s position as the leading global offshore operation and platform maintenance provider in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Senior Vice President and CFO Kevin Vann also commented, &#8220;I am pleased with the progress being made to reduce our cost structure by $50-$75 million going forward. To date, we have identified approximately $50 million and additional progress is expected.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As reflected in our quarterly results, we recorded an impairment to the goodwill recognized at the close of the KCAD acquisition. Although required by accounting guidelines, the impairment does not represent how we feel about the value we expect to capture with the KCAD assets over the long haul.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We have now repaid $120 million on the $400 million two-year term loan and expect to repay a total of approximately $200 million by end of calendar 2025, up from prior expectations of $175 million. H&#038;P maintains an investment-grade credit rating, ended the quarter with $187 million of cash and short-term investments, and has an undrawn $950 million credit facility. This strong financial foundation supports our growing operations, funds our dividend, and enables continued deleveraging.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">John Lindsay concluded, &#8220;Oil and natural gas will remain central to the global energy landscape, and we are optimistic about the sector&#8217;s long-term prospects. Economic growth will demand more drilling, and H&#038;P&#8217;s global scale, innovative commercial models, and advanced technology will continue to differentiate the Company moving forward. We’re confident our employees, safety-focused culture, mix of conventional and unconventional assets, and digital solutions will continue to deliver consistent results for years to come.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Operating Segment Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>North America Solutions:</strong> Realized operating income of $158 million, compared to $152 million during the previous quarter, representing an increase of $6 million. Direct margin<sup>(1)</sup> exceeded the guidance range, totaling approximately $266 million, which was approximately flat with the previous quarter despite slightly lower average rig activity. On a per day basis, direct margin was approximately $19,860 with an average of 147 rigs running. Approximately 50% of the NAS active rigs utilized performance contracts during the quarter, and the performance model remains an integral and differentiating component of H&#038;P’s overall strategy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>International Solutions:</strong> This segment had operating loss of $(167) million, compared to a loss of approximately $(35) million during the previous quarter. Not including the impairment of $(128) million, the segment’s operating loss was $(38) million. This was the first quarter with the full impact of operations from our acquisition of KCA Deutag. Without the non-cash impairment of goodwill, direct margin<sup>(1)</sup> totaled approximately $34 million compared to approximately $27 million during the previous quarter. Importantly, during the third fiscal quarter, the last of eight exported FlexRigs commenced operations in Saudi Arabia, marking an important step in establishing our unconventional drilling presence within the region.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Offshore Solutions<em>:</em></strong> Contributed operating income of approximately $9 million, compared to approximately $17 million during the previous quarter, representing a decrease of $8 million. Direct margin<sup>(1)</sup> totaled approximately $23 million compared to approximately $26 million in the previous quarter. The inclusion of the legacy KCAD offshore business has added scale and geographic expansion to our offshore segment. We now have the benefit of a larger, blue-chip customer base, low capital intensity, and steady cash flow from our offshore operations.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris Curtis has built an 18-year career at H&#038;P that spans from the rig floor to the corporate office, where he has witnessed the company’s commitment to safety, innovation and employee development. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Curtis started looking for work in 2006, he didn’t know the oil field would become his calling. Nearly two decades later, he became a manager for H&#038;P’s drilling performance operations, directing teams across continents. What drew him to H&#038;P wasn’t just the opportunity — it was the company’s reputation. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I heard about their safety culture. I heard about all the good things that they were doing, the advancements, technologies and new rigs,” Curtis said. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>From the Rockies to </strong><strong>Tulsa </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curtis began his H&#038;P journey as a roughneck on Rig 159, quickly working his way up to derrickhand and then driller. For five years, he operated rigs across Colorado and Wyoming in the North District under the leadership of Conly Pritchard and Toby Kern — mentors who helped shape his career trajectory. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“He’s definitely up there on my mentor list of guys that I look up to,” Curtis said of Conley, adding that these leaders taught him essential skills in delegation and leadership that he still relies on today. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 2014 industry slowdown brought change, as it did for many in the oil field. Curtis transitioned to Oklahoma as a rig manager, continuing in that role for four years before making the leap to headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Supporting the Next Generation of Technology</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, Curtis manages an 11-person drilling performance team that provides 24/7 support to drillers worldwide. His team consists primarily of former drillers and rig managers who now support field operations from the corporate side. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We specialize in downhole dysfunction,” he said. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curtis’ philosophy centers on what he calls “quality of life drilling” — using technology to make drillers’ jobs easier rather than more complicated. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Instead of making their lives more complicated, drilling a well, these tools, these technologies are there to provide a quality of life drilling for them at the rig site,” he said. “To reallocate their time to focus on becoming a leader and not solely a control system operator.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Innovation in Action</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among the recent innovations Curtis is most excited about is StallAssist® technology, a hard-coded algorithm that identifies when stalls happen during drilling operations. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The system identifies the stall and it turns off the drilling equipment to safely mitigate the stall,” Curtis explained. “It handles that procedure in seconds versus minutes of a human doing it.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The technology represents more than just operational efficiency — it’s about safety and cost savings. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A stall could lead to a trip or a lost tools in hole. It’s very costly,” Curtis noted. “Safety gets impacted because now we’re exposing our crew to the rig floor, which is inherently dangerous place to be.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Building the Driller Performance Academy</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of Curtis’ proudest achievements has been his involvement in H&#038;P’s Driller Performance Academy. Working with colleagues Bobby Sizemore and Rhett Stricker, Curtis helped create a comprehensive training program that brings in 20 drillers every other week. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It was definitely a team effort,” Curtis said of the academy’s development. The program combines behavioral training with hands-on drilling technology instruction, using interactive games and real-world scenarios. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curtis teaches the technical portion, focusing purely on drilling and the company’s Flex App technologies. His approach to training reflects a broader philosophy about leadership and development. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The idea of not training the person below you because you’re fearful that they’re going to take your job one day is ridiculous to think about,” Curtis said. “We need to change our focus to training the people below us to make our jobs easier as managers and people leads.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Global Perspective</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curtis’ responsibilities extend far beyond U.S. operations. His team supports rigs worldwide, including South America, and he manages a five-person team in India that handles administrative data functions. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Something that&#8217;s worth mentioning is our team in India. Five individuals that help do a lot of our administrative data type stuff in the back end,” Curtis said. “They’re a huge portion of the U.S. Remote Operations Center’s success and it doesn’t get highlighted enough.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The H&#038;P Difference</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 18 years with the company, Curtis remains enthusiastic about H&#038;P’s culture and opportunities. When asked how he’d describe the company to potential employees, his response was immediate. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I would describe it as an amazing place to work,” Curtis said. “The culture feels big as far as individuals that you haven&#8217;t met before that work here, but it still feels very family-oriented.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That family feeling extends to his own family. Curtis’ 17-year-old son has expressed interest in joining the oil field, and Curtis’ advice reflects his confidence in H&#038;P. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I told him it’s not a life of luxury, there is going to be some hard times that you’re going to have to go through,” Curtis said. “The only drilling contractor that I would ever advocate that he joins would be H&#038;P for many reasons. The safety culture is probably the biggest reason.” </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Looking Forward</strong> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Curtis’ daily motivation comes from the constant challenges and the tight-knit team he leads. His team has evolved beyond typical workplace relationships. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If my team was any different than who they are right now, we not only — you know, employee-boss type situation. We’re friends,” Curtis said. </p>
