Third Quarter and Year to Date Results

On October 1, 2025, we signed and simultaneously closed a definitive agreement to sell our wholly owned contract drilling subsidiary, Unit Drilling Company (UDC), to Cactus Drilling Company, L.L.C. for cash consideration of $120 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. The sale will impact our operations and financial results going forward, as such, the results of operations and cash flows for UDC have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Specific uses of the proceeds from the transaction will be determined by the Board in the future. The Company expects that its available tax attributes will substantially offset the gains from this transaction.

The Selected Financial Highlights should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
