## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**HMH Holding Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 Results**

HOUSTON, May 7, 2026 – HMH Holding Inc. ("HMH" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HMH) today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2026.

This press release presents the results of HMH Holding B.V., the predecessor of HMH Holding Inc., for financial reporting purposes. HMH Holding Inc., a holding entity, was established with an intent to complete its IPO and related transactions to carry on HMH Holding B.V. business. As of March 31, 2026, HMH Holding Inc. was not engaged in any business or other activities. Therefore, results presented do not purport results of operations of HMH Holding Inc. as if the IPO and related transactions occurred prior to such periods. For example, these historical results do not reflect the attribution of net income to non-controlling interests or the provision for corporate income taxes on the income attributable to HMH Holding Inc. that HMH Holding Inc. expects to recognize in future periods.

**First Quarter Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue of $171.3 million, down 14% compared to the first quarter of 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income attributable to HMH Holding B.V. of $3.4 million, down 44% compared to the first quarter of 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA of $30.1 million, relatively flat compared to the first quarter of 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed initial public offering of 10,520,000 shares of Class A common stock on April 2, 2026 and exercise of underwriters' option to purchase 685,844 shares of Class A common stock on April 30, 2026

**Financial Summary**

HMH Holding Inc. reported revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $171 million, down 14% as compared to first quarter of 2025, and down 15% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 was $30 million, relatively flat as compared to first quarter of 2025, and down 44% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025.

HMH Holding Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer, Eirik Bergsvik, stated: *"We are encouraged by a strengthening market and growing demand for our products and services, despite the global market volatility and lower sales intake. We maintained resilient financial performance through disciplined cost management, a favorable product mix, and strong operational execution demonstrating the underlying strength of HMH's business. Achieving these results while successfully completing our IPO in a challenging market environment makes the performance even more notable. I want to thank all HMH employees for their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment throughout this process. I also want to recognize our Board of Directors, and everyone involved in the IPO our advisors, underwriters, legal counsel, auditors, and other partners for their support and collaboration in reaching this important milestone."*

Eirik Bergsvik, CEO, concluded *"We continue to see a positive outlook across offshore and onshore drilling, supported by higher oil prices and a stronger focus on energy security. As demand recovers, we expect new awards to drive further fleet reactivations. For 2026, based on current backlog, orders, and margin visibility, we expect full-year adjusted EBITDA of $157 million to $177 million, with bookings, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA as our key focus areas."*

**Initial Public Offering**

On April 2, 2026, we completed our IPO of 10,520,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. These sales of our Class A common stock resulted in net proceeds of $197.8 million, after deducting the underwriters' discounts and offering fees of $12.6 million.

We used $39.5 million of the net proceeds we received from the IPO as the cash consideration to purchase 2,100,000 HMH Holding B.V. Voting Class A Shares and 2,100,000 HMH Holding B.V. Voting Class B Shares from Baker Hughes and Akastor, the Principal Stockholders. We contributed all of the remaining net proceeds from the IPO to HMH Holding B.V. HMH Holding B.V. used an aggregate of $137.1 million of the net proceeds received, comprised of $110.0 million to be paid to Baker Hughes and $27.1 million to be paid to Akastor, to repay all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Shareholder Loan Agreement, and the remaining net proceeds of $21.2 million received by HMH B.V. were used to fund HMH B.V.'s working capital.

On April 30, 2026, the underwriters elected to exercise their option to purchase an additional 685,844 shares of Class A common stock. The transaction closed on May 5, 2026. Net proceeds from this exercise were $12.9 million after deducting discounts and offering fees of $0.8 million. These proceeds went to the principal shareholders.

**Operational and Financial Results**

***Revenue, Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $171.3 million, down 14% as compared to first quarter of 2025, and down 15% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025, driven by declines in products and services volume offset by spares volume. This decrease was primarily due to a reduced product and service backlog entering the period.

------

Aftermarket services revenue was $72 million in the quarter, down 14% as compared to first quarter of 2025, and down 30% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025, impacted by softer order intake in 2025 and non-repeat of contractual service volume. Margins in the segment remained supported by service mix, execution focus, and selective cost actions implemented over the past several quarters.

Spares revenue was $66.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 11% as compared to first quarter of 2025, driven by land and topside spares slightly offset by pressure control spares, and up 23% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025 as customers prepare for increased activity in the second half of 2026.

Product revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $32.8 million, down 41% as compared to first quarter of 2025, and down 30% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025, driven by lower starting backlog due to customers' capex deferrals in 2025.

Total cost of sales decreased by $25.3 million, or 17.8%, to $116.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, down from $141.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 68.1% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 71.5% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in cost of sales and cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was due to lower volume, revenue mix, continued cost optimization efforts and increased utilization.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

In the first quarter of 2026, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 3.1%, to $35.1 million from $36.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to continued cost optimization and rationalization efforts.

***Order Intake, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow***

Orders for the quarter were $218 million, up 10% as compared to first quarter of 2025 driven by products and projects slightly offset by field services and contract services, and up 25% as compared to fourth quarter of 2025, driven by equipment and repairs as customers prepared for increased activity in the second half of 2026. Orders exceeded revenue in the quarter, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.3x. Importantly, quarter-on-quarter order and backlog growth reflects improving customer visibility and positions us well for increased activity levels in the second half of the year.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $30.1 million, which was relatively flat year-on-year and down 44% quarter-on-quarter. The quarter-on-quarter EBITDA decline is driven by lower volumes and the non-repeat of Q4 2025 benefits from inventory optimization and contract services, partially offset by spares.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2026 was $7.3 million, down 46% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Free cash flow was positive at $4.6 million in the quarter. This result reflects expected seasonality, as we typically see a lighter first half of the year while preparing for a second half increase. PP&E and development costs during the quarter were $2.7 million, consistent with historical quarters primarily supporting aftermarket capabilities and service reliability.

**Conference Call Details**

The Company has scheduled a conference call on May 7, 2026, at 7:00 am Central Time to discuss its results for the first quarter of 2026.
