Executive Summary

Helmerich & Payne (HP) reported QQ3 2025 revenue of $1.0409 billion, up roughly 49% year over year, driven by a sustained upcycle in North American drilling activity. Despite the revenue trajectory, the company posted a significant net loss of $162.8 million and negative operating income of $128.3 million, resulting in an EPS of -$1.64 for the quarter. EBITDA of $75.8 million provided some cushion, but profitability remains pressured by elevated operating costs and non-operating expense lines. On the plus side, HP generated strong operating cash flow of $121.6 million and delivered positive free cash flow of $24.6 million, aided by disciplined capex of $97.0 million. The balance sheet remains relatively healthy with a cash balance of $166.1 million and a net cash position of about $159.2 million, while debt remains sizable at roughly $2.19 billion. The combination of solid top-line growth, resilient cash generation, and a weak earnings print underscores the cyclicality of HPโ€™s business and the sensitivity of margins to rig utilization, dayrates, and cost structure in a volatile drilling environment. In the near term, investors should focus on commodity price signals, rig count trends, and capacity discipline within HPโ€™s three-segment portfolio (North America Solutions, Offshore Gulf of Mexico, International Solutions) as these factors will drive utilization and profitability in the next few quarters.
