Management Commentary
- “Our consolidated results…were driven by continued strength of international and offshore activity supported by backlog growth…Backlog totaled $363 million…book-to-bill 1.1x.” — Cindy Taylor, President & CEO .
- “Operating results…were challenged…due to industry-wide reduction in U.S. land completion-related activity…U.S. land-driven revenue mix declined from 36%…to 28%.” — Cindy Taylor .
- “We are maintaining our full-year EBITDA guidance…However, our revenue guidance needs to be updated…reduce…to $685 million–$700 million…Q3 revenues $165 million–$170 million and EBITDA $21 million–$23 million.” — Cindy Taylor .

Q&A Highlights
- Offshore momentum vs. industry pushouts: OIS’s exposure skewed to long-cycle production infrastructure, less impacted by short-term macro; bookings outlook remains robust with book-to-bill >1 .
- Tariffs: Management does not anticipate material impact overall; modest cost pressure in perforating (Downhole) to be passed through given industry-wide similar inputs .
- CapEx: Raised to ~$30M for 2025 (Batam completion and LIWP rental riser builds), partly offset by proceeds from asset sales as land facilities are exited .
- Mix/margins trajectory: CPS land contribution ~11–12%; margin accretion expected through 2H25 and into 2026; company targets upper-20s to low-30s EBITDA margins longer-term on streamlined mix .
- 4Q step-up: Expected to be led by Offshore Manufactured Products with backlog conversion; POC contracts support visibility .
Estimates Context
- Revenue missed S&P Global consensus ($165.4M vs $170.7M*). Values retrieved from S&P Global.
- Primary EPS (S&P’s measure) beat ($$0.09 vs $0.083*). Values retrieved from S&P Global.
- EBITDA was roughly inline/slight beat ($$21.1M vs $21.0M*). Values retrieved from S&P Global.
- Street may lower FY revenue models following guidance cut to $685–$700M while keeping EBITDA largely intact at $88–$93M, implying higher 2025 margins on mix and cost actions .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Offshore/international strength continues to offset U.S. land weakness; backlog and bookings support H2 acceleration and a Q4 step-up, anchoring EBITDA resilience .
- FY revenue guidance cut (to $685–$700M) without changing EBITDA ($88–$93M) signals margin quality improvement from mix high-grading and restructuring .
- Capital returns and deleveraging are active: $6.7M buybacks and $14.8M converts repurchased, with ABL amendments improving flexibility ahead of April 2026 maturity .
- Segment focus: Own the offshore cycle (Offshore Manufactured Products), maintain CPS profitability despite lower land activity, and stabilize Downhole via cost actions and selective pass-throughs .
- Near-term trading: Watch bookings cadence and backlog conversion; any upside in Q3/Q4 revenues vs guidance would catalyze sentiment given H2 weighted profile .
- Medium term: Technology wins (MPD IRJ, LIWP) and Batam capacity expansion underpin product differentiation and pricing power, supporting 20–22% offshore segment margins longer term .
- Risks: Tariff policy shifts, OPEC+ actions, and U.S. land further softening; management’s diversified sourcing and exits mitigate, but Downhole remains the most exposed .
