In the third quarter of 2025, RPC implemented the provisions of the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which resulted in a lower tax obligation due to the 100% bonus depreciation on capital expenditures placed in service after January 19th, 2025 and immediate expensing of all domestic research and development costs, that were previously amortized over five years. Implementation of the OBBBA provisions did not have an impact on our effective rate or the Income tax provision in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

*Revenues.*Revenues of $420.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased 15.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to revenues from recently acquired Pintail of $98.9 million, partially offset by lower pressure pumping activity levels compared to the prior year. Pressure pumping results for the second quarter of 2025 were negatively impacted by pricing pressure, weather, third-party non-productive time and customer startup delays. Pressure pumping market remains highly competitive. Management believes the industry continues to be over-supplied and efficiency gains are consistently adding pump hour capacity to the industry. These challenges, as well as a declining rig count, have impacted activity, asset utilization, and pricing. International revenues represented 2.0% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.9% in the same period of the prior year. We believe that international revenues will continue to be less than 10% of RPC’s consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future.
