Unit Corporation Reports First Quarter Results

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2026-- Unit Corporation (OTCQX: UNTC) (Company) filed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 with OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTC). The Company’s current, quarterly and annual reports may be accessed on the OTC’s website at https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/UNTC/disclosure, as well as the Company’s website at https://unitcorp.com/investor-relations/otc-sec-filings/.

On April 27, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell certain oil and gas leasehold interests, consisting of deep rights in the Woodford and Mississippian formations underlying acreage located in Caddo and Blaine Counties, Oklahoma, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.7 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction is expected to close within 60 days of execution, subject to customary closing conditions.

Phil Frohlich, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “this divestiture of deeper rights in the Woodford and Mississippian formations reflects our ongoing effort to streamline the portfolio and focus on areas where we see the strongest returns. By monetizing these non-core undeveloped interests, we’re sharpening our operational focus. We’re particularly encouraged by the opportunities emerging in the Cherokee Shale and Red Fork formations, where we continue to see meaningful development potential.”
