Charles Minervino's questions to OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL (OIS) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Charles Minervino of Susquehanna International Group asked about the drivers for the implied Q4 step-up in revenue and EBITDA from the full-year guidance, and what caused the revenue decline in the Completion and Production segment given its small U.S. land exposure.
Answer
President & CEO Cindy Taylor attributed the expected Q4 step-up to the Offshore Manufactured Products segment converting its strong backlog, which has a 1.2x year-to-date book-to-bill ratio. She explained the revenue decline in the Completion and Production segment was a direct result of the company's ongoing strategy to exit commoditized, low-margin product lines and regional operations, a move that improves profitability and cash flow despite lowering revenue.
