HOUSTON and COVINGTON, La., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. ("Hornbeck" or "the Company") (NYSE: HOS), a premier integrated offshore services company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Todd M. Hornbeck, Hornbeck's President and CEO, commented, "The completion of our combination with Helix marks an important milestone for Hornbeck and creates a differentiated offshore services company with capabilities spanning marine transportation, subsea services and well intervention. By bringing together complementary assets, technical expertise and customer relationships, we believe we can address a broader scope of our customers' offshore needs, improve utilization across our assets and capture a greater share of the value created on complex offshore projects. The recently announced integrated services agreements with Shell demonstrate the revenue synergy opportunities by bringing together Hornbeck's marine platform with Helix's subsea and well intervention capabilities. Our priorities remain to operate safely, maintain asset reliability, capture revenue and cost synergies from the combination and maintain disciplined capital allocation. With a broader geographic footprint, differentiated capabilities and meaningful financial flexibility, we believe Hornbeck is well positioned to generate attractive returns across offshore cycles."

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Summary

The Company's third quarter financial results include three months of legacy Hornbeck operations and one month of legacy Helix operations following the closing of the merger on September 1, 2026. Accordingly, historical comparisons are significantly affected by the timing of the transaction and are not indicative of the expected quarterly run-rate of the combined company.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenues were $293.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $110.0 million compared to $183.3 million for the second quarter of 2026. Operating loss was $(59.7) million, or (20.4)% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2026 compared to operating income of $26.0 million, or 14.2% of revenues, for the sequential quarter. The Company reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2026 of $(85.7) million, or $(0.40) per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the sequential quarter. The Company recorded $119.8 million of merger and integration costs, one-time stock-based compensation expense that was accelerated due to the combination, and $0.2 million of terminated offering costs during the third quarter of 2026, compared to $12.1 million of such costs in the second quarter of 2026. Excluding the impact of these costs, operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2026 would have been $59.9 million, 20.4%, $28.2 million and $0.13 per share, respectively. Excluding the impact of these costs for the sequential quarter, operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted EPS would have been $38.1 million, 20.8%, $16.3 million and $0.09 per share, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2026 were $105.9 million and $58.7 million, respectively, compared to $66.7 million and $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, respectively. The sequential variances in our financial results are primarily related to the incremental contribution of the legacy Helix operations for the period following the September 1 closing of the merger.

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Results

In connection with the combination, Hornbeck realigned its operations and established a new reportable segment structure. Accordingly, the new segments do not directly correspond to the historical reportable segments of either legacy Hornbeck or legacy Helix.

Marine Transportation & Specialty

Vessel revenues were $141.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $5.6 million from $135.6 million in the second quarter of 2026. Non-vessel revenues were $12.3 million for both the current and sequential quarters. This segment operated an average active fleet of 38.5 vessels, compared to 39.7 vessels in the second quarter. Average dayrates increased to $51,959 from $50,882, and active vessel utilization increased to 76.7% from 73.7%. As a result, effective dayrates for the active fleet increased to $39,852 from $37,500. The increases in average dayrates and utilization primarily reflected higher activity among the Company's high- and ultra-high specification offshore supply vessels and fewer days out of service for regulatory drydockings. Operating income was $42.1 million, or 27.4% of total segment revenues, compared to $42.3 million, or 28.6% of total segment revenues, in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $67.6 million from $66.3 million. The increase in vessel revenues was partially offset by higher vessel operating costs, including crew expenses associated with the timing of regulatory drydockings, and a higher allocation of general and administrative expenses related to the Company's new segment reporting structure.

Subsea Services

Vessel revenues were $53.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $17.8 million from $35.5 million in the second quarter. Non-vessel revenues were $5.0 million, all of which was related to legacy Helix operations following the merger. This segment operated an average of 9.0 vessels, compared with 7.0 vessels in the second quarter, reflecting a full-quarter contribution from seven legacy Hornbeck vessels and a partial-quarter contribution from six legacy Helix vessels, including in-chartered vessels. Average dayrates decreased to $86,024 from $92,377, while utilization increased to 75.2% from 60.3%. Effective dayrates increased to $64,690 from $55,703. The reduction in average dayrates primarily reflected downtime associated with the conversion of a legacy Hornbeck vessel during the quarter. The improvement in utilization primarily reflected higher activity among the legacy Hornbeck vessels. Operating income was $18.1 million, or 31.0% of total segment revenues, compared to $15.2 million, or 42.8% of total segment revenues, in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $25.3 million from $18.7 million. This segment's third-quarter results included a partial-quarter contribution from the acquired legacy Helix operations.

Well Intervention

Well Intervention was not part of the Company's historical results and, thus, solely reflects the contribution of the legacy Helix operations from September 1 through September 30, 2026. Vessel and non-vessel revenues for the third quarter of 2026 were $76.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The segment operated an average fleet of 2.6 vessels, with average dayrates of $362,162, utilization of 88.1%, and effective dayrates of $319,065. The current-quarter average fleet count reflects a partial-quarter contribution from eight legacy Helix vessels, inclusive of in-chartered vessels. Operating income was $26.0 million, or 33.4% of total segment revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million.

Integration and Synergies Update

Hornbeck continues to integrate the legacy Hornbeck and Helix businesses and to pursue the revenue and cost synergy opportunities identified in connection with the business combination. These anticipated synergies include corporate efficiencies, procurement and maintenance savings, operating efficiencies, reduced reliance on third-party vessel charters, cross-selling opportunities, improved asset utilization, and integrated service offerings.¹

At the time the transaction was announced, the Company identified at least $75 million of annual revenue and cost synergies expected to be realized within three years following the closing of the merger, consisting of $45 million of revenue synergies and $30 million of cost synergies. The Company has implemented actions representing approximately $20 million of expected annualized cost savings and expects to achieve the $30 million annual cost synergy run-rate target within the first year following the combination. The Company is also targeting approximately $15 million of revenue synergies within the first year, with additional opportunities expected from integrated service offerings, asset optimization, expanded services to existing customers and increased exposure to the defense market. The recently announced services agreements with Shell demonstrate the commercial opportunities created by the combined platform and the Company's ability to provide a broader suite of offshore services to its customers.

Third Quarter 2026 Backlog

As of September 30, 2026, the Company's contracted revenue backlog² was approximately $1.9 billion, of which approximately $333.2 million is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2026, approximately $792.8 million during 2027 and approximately $741.3 million thereafter. Our total backlog is comprised of $667.8 million, $431.5 million and $759.9 million for the Marine Transportation & Specialty, Subsea Services and Well Intervention segments, respectively.

Third Quarter 2026 Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $471.6 million and $730.6 million of total face value of debt, resulting in net debt of $259.0 million.

In addition, the Company has an undrawn revolving line of credit with a current borrowing base of $125.0 million. Cash plus undrawn capacity under the revolving credit facility is $596.6 million.

Fourth Quarter 2026 and Full Year 2027 Outlook

Based on current backlog, customer commitments and operating plans, Hornbeck expects to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million to $100 million for the fourth quarter of 2026 and $500 million to $550 million for full-year 2027.

Potter Adams, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our 2027 outlook is supported by contracted backlog, an expanded geographic and service-line footprint, and the anticipated contribution of the combined platform. We remain constructive on the long-term deepwater market and are seeing the benefits of a more diversified business, including exposure to international deepwater activity, subsea services, well intervention, defense and other non-oilfield specialty markets. The guidance range assumes no material contribution from operations outside of our three core reporting segments, incorporates a heavier regulatory drydock schedule weighted toward the first half of the year, and includes approximately $20 million of anticipated cost synergy benefits from actions implemented to date. The guidance also includes an anticipated contribution from the first of our two HOS 400-class MPSV newbuilds following its expected entry into commercial service late in the third quarter 2027. Importantly, our guidance assumes U.S. Gulf of America deepwater drilling activity remains generally consistent with current levels and does not depend on a meaningful increase in activity during the year. We will remain disciplined on pricing, contract quality, duration and full-cycle returns rather than pursuing utilization at the expense of value."

This guidance range reflects the Company's current expectations for typical seasonality, project timing, geographic and service-line mix, vessel availability, out-of-service periods for anticipated regulatory drydockings, customer activity and the pace of integration. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing and magnitude of items that have not yet occurred.

__________________________________

¹ The amount and timing of synergies actually achieved may differ materially from the Company's current expectations and may take longer to realize or may not be fully realized. Achievement of the anticipated synergies is subject to integration execution, customer demand, commercial adoption, market conditions, operating activity, employee retention, implementation costs, and other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" in the Company's public filings with the SEC.

² Backlog represents contracted revenue that the Company expects to earn in future periods. The amount and timing of actual revenue recognition may differ from current expectations as a result of customer cancellation and termination rights, contractual options, project delays, changes in project scope, weather, vessel availability, scheduled and unscheduled downtime, mobilizations and other factors. Backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue or profitability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share and net debt. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the historical financial results of Helix and Hornbeck or the financial results of the combined company. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company prepares Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share by eliminating the impact of several non-recurring items not considered indicative of Hornbeck's on-going performance. Like Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, the Company believes these measures help identify underlying trends that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the non-recurring items we exclude in the measure.

The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent uncertainty and reflect the exercise of judgments by the Company's management about which items of expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the following tables for additional information about the items of expense and income that are included in determining the non-GAAP financial measures for historical periods contained in this press release and for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing and magnitude of items that have not yet occurred.
