Current report
In October 2025, we committed to a plan to scrap certain rigs and related assets across our operating segments as part of our fleet rationalization strategy. As a result, these assets were reclassified as held-for-sale and, where applicable, written down to fair value less cost to sell. This resulted in non-cash impairment charges of $97.9 million and $2.1 million in the North America Solutions and Offshore Solutions segments, respectively during the six months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
Additionally, in March 2026, we identified an international drilling rig within our International Solutions segment that met the asset held-for-sale criteria and was therefore written down to fair value less cost to sell. This resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $23.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, we also recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $2.8 million related to assets previously classified as held-for-sale within our International Solutions segment.

During thethree months ended December 31, 2025, we committed to a plan to scrap 30 rigs and auxiliary equipment within our North America Solutions segment and three rigs within our Offshore Solutions segment as part of our strategy to right size our fleet and reduce expenses. Of the 30 North America Solutions rigs, 10 were previously decommissioned. The book values of those assets in our North America Solutions and Offshore Solutions segments were written down to the fair value less estimated cost to sell, and were reclassified as held-for-sale during the three months ended December 31, 2025. As a result, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $97.9 million and $2.1 million in the North America Solutions and Offshore Solutions segments respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate net book value of North America Solutions and Offshore Solutions assets classified as held-for-sale was $4.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

H&P through its operating subsidiaries provides performance-driven drilling solutions and technologies that are intended to make hydrocarbon recovery safer and more economical for oil and gas exploration and production companies. As of December 31, 2025, our drilling rig fleet included a total of 338 drilling rigs. Our reportable operating business segments consist of the North America Solutions segment with 203 rigs, the International Solutions segment with 131 rigs, and the Offshore Solutions segment with four offshore platform rigs as of December 31, 2025. Although the Offshore Solutions segment has a fleet of platform rigs, the majority of its revenues are derived from asset-light management contracts. At the close of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we had 201 active contracted rigs, of which 127 were under a fixed-term contract and 74 were working well-to-well, compared to 208 contracted rigs at September 30, 2025. Our long-term strategy remains focused on innovation, technology, safety, operational excellence, and reliability. As we move forward, we believe that our rig fleet, technology offerings, financial strength, contract backlog and strong customer and employee base position us very well to respond to continued cyclical and often times volatile market conditions and to take advantage of future opportunities.

Our revenues are primarily derived from the capital expenditures of companies involved in the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas (“E&Ps”). Generally, the level of capital expenditures is dictated by capital budgets set to achieve respective production targets in relation to current and expected future prices of crude oil and natural gas, which are determined by various supply and demand factors and have historically been volatile. Furthermore, E&Ps have become more fiscally disciplined in their level of capital expenditures relative to commodity price fluctuations and the amount of free cash flows that can be returned to their shareholders, which has resulted in less volatility within the oilfield service businesses, including our operations.

In early calendar year 2025, the announcements by the U.S. government regarding the implementation of global tariffs and OPEC+ regarding the planned increase of crude oil supply created continued uncertainty in the global energy markets. More recently, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and ongoing political developments in Venezuela have perpetuated and elevated the level of uncertainty further. Although we do not anticipate that these announcements and events will have a direct material impact on the Company's operations or financial results, we believe the indirect effects could potentially lead to reduced activity in fiscal year 2026 as operators evaluate activity levels commensurate with commodity prices. Both crude oil and natural gas prices are volatile and global economic conditions heavily influence activity levels in the United States. In our international operations, commodity pricing has an impact on potential activity by our customers; however, other variables have a heavy influence on those activity levels, including disparate country budgets and the need to fund other commitments in certain areas.

In early calendar year 2025, the announcements by the U.S. government regarding the implementation of global tariffs and OPEC+ regarding the planned increase of crude oil supply created continued uncertainty in the global energy markets. More recently, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East including ongoing armed conflict and instability affecting key energy-producing and transit regions, such as the Strait of Hormuz, and ongoing political developments in Venezuela have perpetuated and elevated the level of uncertainty further. These developments have contributed to increased volatility in global crude oil and natural gas prices and have led market participants to reassess supply risks, transportation reliability, and near-term capital allocation decisions. Although we do not anticipate that these announcements and events will have a direct material impact on the Company's operations or financial results, we believe the indirect effects of sustained geopolitical uncertainty, including the potential for supply-side disruptions and transportation risks may support increased drilling activity levels as operators seek to mitigate these potential disruptions and respond to elevated or more volatile commodity prices. Both crude oil and natural gas prices are volatile and global economic conditions heavily influence activity levels in the United States.

Our sources of available liquidity include existing cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, and availability under the Amended Credit Facility. Our liquidity requirements include meeting ongoing working capital needs, funding our capital expenditure projects, paying dividends declared, repaying our outstanding indebtedness, and funding the Acquisition. Historically, we have financed operations primarily through internally generated cash flows. During periods when internally generated cash flows are not sufficient to meet liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand, borrow from available credit sources, access capital markets or sell our investments. Likewise, if we are generating excess cash flows or have cash balances on hand beyond our near-term needs, we may return cash to shareholders through dividends or share repurchases, or we may invest in highly rated short-term money market and debt securities. These investments can include U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency issued debt securities, highly rated corporate bonds and commercial paper, certificates of deposit and money market funds. However, in some international locations we may make short-term investments that are less conservative, as equivalent highly rated investments are unavailable.

The benchmark rate is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). We can elect to borrow at either an adjusted SOFR rate or an adjusted base rate, plus an applicable margin. The adjusted SOFR rate is the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for the applicable tenor of one, three, or six months, plus 0.10 percent per annum. The adjusted base rate is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50 percent, or (iii) the one-month adjusted SOFR rate plus 1.0 percent. We also pay a commitment fee on the unused balance of the facility. Borrowing spreads as well as commitment fees are determined based on the debt rating for senior unsecured debt of the Company, as determined by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. The applicable margin for SOFR borrowings and adjusted base rate borrowings ranges from 1.0 percent to 1.625 percent per annum and zero to 0.625 percent per annum, respectively.

The aggregate gain primarily consisted of $14.4 million, $10.2 million, and $2.1 million of gains on various geothermal investments, our investment in Galileo, and our investment in Tamboran, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the investments. The gain was partially offset by a $12.4 million loss on our sale of equity investments in ADNOC Drilling.
