Current report
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the oil and gas market continued to be influenced by evolving supply and demand fundamentals, geopolitical developments, and broader macroeconomic conditions. U.S. crude oil production remained near record levels, supported by continued activity in key shale basins and offshore developments. While crude oil prices remained volatile during the period, customer investment decisions continued to be driven primarily by medium- and long-term commodity price expectations, particularly for offshore projects with longer development cycles.
Current report
U.S. natural gas prices remained above prior-year levels during the first half of 2026, supported by improving market fundamentals, including continued demand growth and relatively tighter inventories, despite increasing domestic production.
Current report
Operational activity remained below historical levels in certain Western and Eastern Hemisphere markets. However, longer laterals, improved drilling efficiencies, and higher productivity per rig continued to partially offset the impact of lower drilling activity, supporting demand for certain products and services.
Current report
Interest expense, net was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 17%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in the overall debt balance of approximately $2.7 million when comparing June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2025.
Current report
Other operating and non-operating expense, net was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 42%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of reduction in restructuring and software implementation expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Current report
Western Hemisphere
Current report
Western Hemisphere revenue was $66.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $12.4 million, or 16%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in revenues was driven by a decrease in tool rental revenue as a result of lower customer activity levels and pricing pressures. Additionally, western hemisphere segment income was $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $5.7 million or 22%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was in line with the decrease in revenue and a result of the same drivers.
Current report
Eastern Hemisphere
Current report
Eastern Hemisphere revenue was $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.9 million, or 26% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenues was driven by the recent acquisitions of tool rental businesses located within the Eastern Hemisphere and increased rental activity in geographies into which the Company has expanded. Eastern Hemisphere segment income was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $0.8 million, or 566%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was in line with the increase in revenue and a result of the same drivers.

Previous report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the oil and gas market continued to reflect a dynamic interplay of geopolitical tensions, shifting demand patterns, and broader macroeconomic factors. U.S. oil production remained near record levels, supported by sustained activity in the Permian Basin and offshore developments. However, elevated supply, combined with moderating global demand growth, contributed to a continued imbalance in global oil markets and exerted downward pressure on prices. Crude oil prices, including WTI, remained volatile during the quarter and generally trended below prior-year levels. Despite this near-term volatility, our customers continue to prioritize medium- and long-term commodity price expectations when making investment decisions, given the extended lead times associated with offshore projects.
Previous report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, U.S. natural gas prices continued to strengthen, building on the recovery observed in 2025 following the record lows of 2024. Market fundamentals remained supportive, with demand growth continuing to outpace increases in U.S. production, contributing to tighter inventory levels. As a result, natural gas prices remained elevated during the quarter.
Previous report
Despite significant commodity price volatility over the past several years, we have seen decreases in both the Western and Eastern Hemisphere. However, notwithstanding the impact of longer laterals, improved rig efficiencies have partially offset the impact of this reduction. As a result, while overall activity has moderated, productivity per rig has increased, helping to cushion the effect of reduced drilling activity on overall output.
Previous report
Depreciation and amortization expense
Previous report
Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase corresponds with the increasing property, plant, and equipment and intangible asset balances as a result of acquisitions and capital expenditures.
Previous report
Interest expense, net was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 23%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of reduction in the Company's net debt balance year over year.
Previous report
Other operating and non-operating expense, net was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 60%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of the restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of change in segments and reorganization.
Previous report
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that have resulted in or are reasonably likely to result in a material change in our liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity continue to be cash flows from operations, together with availability under our credit facilities. We believe these sources will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and other liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. However, our liquidity may be impacted by a variety of factors, including changes in market conditions, commodity prices, customer demand, capital allocation priorities, and other macroeconomic factors, the extent and timing of which remain uncertain.

Previous wording
Our revenues are derived from two sources: tool rental and product sales. Tool rental revenues are derived from the rental of tools used in bottom hole assemblies (“BHA”), various wellbore optimization tools, and tubular goods for drilling, workover, and completion operations. Additionally, tool rental revenue consists of the repair and inspection of such tools. Product sale revenues are derived from the sale of target depth technologies, the manufacturing and repair of tools for external customers, and tool recovery revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we derived 76% and 81% of total revenues from tool rentals and 24% and 19% from product sales, respectively.
