The IPO Buzz: Hornbeck Offshore Services (HOS Proposed) Drops a Hint

Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (HOS Proposed) updated the financial information today in its amended prospectus – dropping a hint that it may be getting closer to going public. The Covington, Louisiana-based oilfield services company, which provides water transportation to offshore drilling rigs, earned net income of $136.35 million on revenue of $655.46 million for the 12 months that ended Sept. 30, 2025. (Note: The S-1/A filing is dated Nov. 14, 2025.)

That financial picture is worth noting. Hornbeck Offshore Services emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a little more than five years ago – in late September 2020.

Hornbeck Offshore Services’ path out of bankruptcy was smoothed by a $100 million cash infusion from funds managed by Ares Management Corp., a private equity company, along with funds managed by Whitebox Advisors LLC and Highbridge Capital Management LLC. Those three companies are Hornbeck’s three biggest shareholders, according to the prospectus.

J.P. Morgan and  Barclays are the lead joint book-runners.

Goldman Sachs – listed as a lead joint book-runner on the cover of the S-1 – does not appear  in this updated  list of bankers.
