The standout driver was a remarkable expansion in margins, with total company EBITDA reaching $1.21 billion, up 23% from a year ago, and EBITDA margins hitting 17.5%, the highest since the company's formation. The Industrial & Energy Technology segment led the way, with revenue climbing 9% year-over-year to $2.94 billion and record remaining performance obligations of $30.20 billion, underscoring durable demand for gas technology and compression equipment even as broader oilfield services spending growth has moderated industrywide amid cautious customer sentiment. Free cash flow surged to $754.00 million from just $106.00 million the prior quarter, and management signaled confidence in hitting full-year EBITDA guidance at the midpoint, with both segments tracking toward 20% EBITDA margins.
Key Takeaways
- • Higher pricing in both segments
- • Structural cost-out initiatives
- • Higher volume in IET segment
- • Positive price and productivity in OFSE
- • EBITDA margins reaching 17.5%, the highest since company formation
- • Strong IET order momentum for gas infrastructure and FPSOs
