Utilization is a function of equipment capacity and durability in demanding environments.

Compared to 2023 full year average prices, oil and natural gas average prices have remained relatively flat despite tightened supply from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC+") production cuts and continued geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East.

These tensions could lead to a disruption to world energy markets and international supply chains.

Although these near-term macroeconomic events have presented challenges, we expect that the world’s long-term energy demand will continue to rise and may outpace global supply.

We expect that hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources become increasingly prominent.

Average West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and Brent oil prices were lower in the third quarter 2024 compared to the third quarter 2023.

In addition, average natural gas prices were lower in the third quarter 2024 compared to the third quarter 2023.

The decline in average prices during the third quarter 2024 can be attributed to lower global demand outlook than previously projected and anticipated increases in production by OPEC+.

Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which decreased 3.1% during the third quarter 2024 compared to average global rig count during third quarter 2023.

Average oil prices were lower in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, while average natural gas prices nearly doubled.

The decline in average oil prices is attributable to a faster than expected return of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ("OPEC+") production combined with global recessionary fears triggered by the expected imposition of broad based trade policy changes by the Trump Administration.

The increase in average natural gas prices is attributable to strong demand, tightening supply and geopolitical uncertainty.

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Trump Administration's newly imposed trade policies and the uncertainty around their imposition led to concerns regarding ongoing consumer spending and the overall health of the world economy.

This uncertainty coupled with increased supply from OPEC+ led to a further decrease in oil and natural gas prices.

We will continue to monitor market conditions and assess risks, including macroeconomic uncertainty, trade policy, oil price volatility, and changes in regulations.

Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which decreased 5.0% during the first quarter 2025 compared to average global rig count during first quarter 2024.

The decrease was mainly driven by a decline in U.S.

In the U.S., publicly owned exploration and production companies are expected to continue to exercise disciplined capital spending while privately owned exploration and production companies fluctuate their activity in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices.

Activity levels in the U.S.

are forecasted to remain depressed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and into 2025 while international growth is expected to decline.

Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $207.8 million, an increase of $28.6 million, or 15.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our Drilling and Completions and our Artificial Lift and Downhole segments comprised 59.5% and 40.5% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 66.3% and 33.7% of our total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The overall increase in revenue is primarily related to the revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business, and increased revenues in the Subsea and the Stimulation and Intervention product lines, partially offset by the decline in U.S.

drilling activity and lower revenues in the Production Equipment product line in the third quarter 2024 compared to the third quarter 2023.

The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:

Drilling and Completions segment — Revenue was $123.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $4.7 million, or 3.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

This increase was driven by an increase of $6.2 million, or 41.7%, in our Subsea product line from higher project revenue recognized from ROVs and Launch and Recovery Systems ("LARS");

and, a $5.5 million, or 16.9%, increase in our Stimulation and Intervention product line, primarily due to higher sales of power ends and wireline cable.

Partially offsetting this increase were a $6.0 million, or 14.3%, decrease in our Drilling product line primarily due to the decline in U.S.

drilling activity and a $1.0 million, or 3.4%, decrease in our Coiled Tubing product line from lower international activity.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Revenue was $84.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $23.9 million, or 39.5%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Revenue for our Downhole product line increased by $27.1 million, or 115.3%, primarily due to revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business.

Partially offsetting this increase was a $3.7 million, or 17.2% decrease, in the Production Equipment product line primarily due to a decline in demand for surface production equipment.

Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage

Segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $9.4 million, a $3.9 million increase compared to an income of $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, segment operating margin percentage was 4.5% compared to 3.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period.

The change in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:

Drilling and Completions segment — Segment operating income was $7.0 million, or 5.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to operating income of $3.9 million, or 3.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The $3.2 million increase in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher volume and profitability in the Subsea and the Stimulation and Intervention product lines, partially offset by lower operating leverage on lower sales volumes of our drilling products.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $10.8 million, or 12.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to an income of $8.5 million, or 14.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The $2.3 million increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Variperm, partially offset by the decline in operating leverage on lower sales volumes of our surface production equipment.

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

This increase was primarily related to higher variable compensation costs and professional fees.

Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel;

professional fees for legal, accounting and related services;

and marketing costs.

Other items not included in segment operating income (loss)

Transaction expenses, gain (loss) on the disposal of assets and other are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains (losses) and other, and loss on extinguishment of debt.

We incurred $7.7 million of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to the increased borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under the Seller Term Loan entered into in connection with the Variperm Acquisition.

See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan.

The foreign exchange gains (losses) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S.

These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S.

dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we redeemed an aggregate $60.0 million of principal amount of our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (“2025 Notes”) at par value.

The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $58.2 million, resulting in a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

We recorded tax expense of $4.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available.

Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
