The top line fell from $1.28 billion in Q1 2025 and $1.35 billion a year ago, with adjusted EBITDA sliding to $231.22 million from $323.74 million in the year-ago quarter, a clear signal of how far the oilfield services cycle has turned. U.S. Rig count averaged 104 in the quarter, with the Permian Basin accounting for the steepest declines, while Completion Services revenue of $719.33 million held up as fully utilized gas-powered fleets offset broader pressure. Management is eyeing a mid-90s rig count for Q3 but sees a more constructive setup on the horizon, with CEO Andy Hendricks pointing to a "physical call for higher U.S. LNG volumes" as a catalyst that could lift natural gas drilling activity heading into 2026. Free cash flow is expected to accelerate in the back half of 2025, with full-year net capex guided below $600 million.

Key Takeaways

  • Drilling Products achieved record U.S. revenue per U.S. industry rig and record Canada revenue per Canada industry rig
  • Emerald natural gas-powered and Tier IV dual fuel completion assets remained fully utilized
  • Directional drilling revenue higher sequentially driven by strong service quality and market penetration
  • Higher sequential revenue from drilling automation technologies in U.S. Contract Drilling
  • Growth in performance-based agreements with Drilling Products customers
