TEAM INC (TISI)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Revenue of $224.976M grew 6.7% year over year, with gross margin rising 8.4% to $58.044M; Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.6% to $14.541M and margin expanded 110 bps to 6.5% .
  • Net loss widened slightly to $(11.447)M (EPS $(2.68)), reflecting higher corporate costs tied to non-recurring professional fees and legal reserves .
  • Management lowered full-year Adjusted EBITDA growth guidance to ~13% from “at least 15%” previously, while introducing quantified revenue guidance of ~+5% and calling for Q4 y/y top-line growth and improved Adjusted EBITDA; focus remains on reaching ≥10% Adjusted EBITDA margin over time .
  • Balance sheet actions (September preferred stock) materially reduced debt and enhanced liquidity to $57.1M; net debt fell to $288.0M as of 9/30/25—an important catalyst for investor confidence in funding the transformation plan .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Segment growth across IHT (+5.7% y/y) and MS (+7.8% y/y); international/Canada revenue improved with IHT operating income up 16.9% and MS op income up 31.2% .
  • Adjusted SG&A leverage improved to 20.8% of revenue versus 21.7% in the prior year, evidencing cost discipline and operating efficiency .

What Went Wrong

  • Corporate and shared support services costs rose $4.9M (+43.6%) due to non-recurring professional fees and legal reserves, compressing consolidated operating income y/y .
  • Sequential revenue declined from Q2 to Q3 (seasonality), while cash flow remains a focus given year-to-date working capital headwinds; Q3 CFO noted negative YTD FCF from refinancing and AR/AP dynamics expected to reverse in Q4 .
  • Full-year Adjusted EBITDA growth guide reduced from ≥15% (Q1/Q2) to ~13% (Q3), signaling tempered expectations despite ongoing margin initiatives .

Management Commentary

  • “Adjusted EBITDA increased by 28.6% to $14.5 million, our best third quarter performance since 2016… underscoring the progress we’ve made toward margin improvement and increased cash flow generation” — CEO Keith D. Tucker .
  • “These actions have helped to increase our liquidity… $57.1 million… [and] pay down about $67 million of debt” — CFO Nelson M. Haight .
  • “We have line of sight to full year 2025 revenue growth of approximately 5% and adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 13%” — CEO Keith D. Tucker .

Q&A Highlights

  • The company did not host questions during the Q3 or recent earnings calls, opting for prepared remarks only .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus for Q3 2025 EPS and revenue was unavailable in our retrieval; GetEstimates returned actuals only with no consensus values or counts for EPS or revenue. As a result, we could not benchmark “beat/miss” vs Street for Q3, Q2, or Q1 (Values retrieved from S&P Global).*

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue growth and margin expansion continued, with IHT and U.S. MS driving the quarter; Canada operations are now a positive contributor, supporting the multi-quarter turnaround narrative .
  • Bold: full-year Adjusted EBITDA growth guidance reduced to ~13% from ≥15% earlier; use caution on near-term estimate models despite improved Q4 outlook .
  • Liquidity and net debt profile improved post-preferred financing; optionality remains via the $30M delayed draw, potentially smoothing seasonal working capital demands .
  • Corporate/non-recurring costs weighed on operating income; watch for normalization as management expects fewer non-recurring fees and working capital reversal in Q4 to support FCF .
  • The ≥10% Adjusted EBITDA margin target remains the strategic North Star, with actions underway; continued SG&A leverage and mix shift to higher-margin markets (power, aerospace, LNG) are the levers .
  • Seasonal sequential volatility is evident (Q2 to Q3), but y/y trajectory is constructive; investors should track Q4 execution on top-line and cash generation .
  • Balance sheet progress and operational discipline are key near-term stock drivers; quantified revenue guidance (~5% y/y) increases transparency and may help anchor expectations .
