Subsequent to September 30, 2026, on October 8, 2026, the Company completed the STEP Acquisition, acquiring certain assets associated with STEP’s coiled tubing, fluid and nitrogen pumping, and related well services business in the United States. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 18 — Subsequent Events.” The STEP Acquisition is expected to significantly expand the Company’s coiled tubing operations and increase its presence in several of its existing operating basins, including the Permian Basin.

The Company also continues to advance its ECHO hybrid rig program, which represents the next generation of its high-specification rig fleet. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had 24 ECHO rigs under contract, of which 4 were active in the field. The ECHO rigs are designed to provide lower emissions, reduced fuel consumption and improved operating efficiency compared to conventional rigs. The Company believes the ECHO program enhances its competitive position and supports long-term customer relationships. The timing and pace of additional ECHO rig deployments will depend on customer demand, customer capital spending plans, construction schedules and broader industry conditions.

Reworded paragraphs (46)
Previous wording
Market conditions across the oilfield services sector were mixed during the second quarter of 2026. Geopolitical developments and disruptions to global oil supply contributed to elevated commodity prices and continued market volatility. The Company expects customer activity to continue to be shaped primarily by operators’ longer-term capital discipline, basin-level economics and production priorities rather than short-term commodity price movements alone. Our production-oriented service lines continue to support relative resilience in our core business. Although elevated commodity prices and potential supply constraints may support customer activity in the near term, the timing and extent of any corresponding changes in customer spending in the mid to longer term is unclear. The longer global oil and gas supply chain disruptions persist, there is an increased likelihood of supply shortages which could drive up commodity prices further. Elevated prices may cause ultimate demand weakening which would have the potential to affect North American oil and gas activity.

Although commodity prices have been impacted by recent disruptions in the Middle East, the Company believes customers will continue to prioritize efficient production from existing wells and disciplined development activity. As a provider of production- and completion-oriented well services with solely domestic operations, we believe our service offering is positioned to benefit from customer demand tied to maintaining and enhancing production. However, reductions in customer capital spending, weakening oil demand, sustained cost inflation or increased competitive pricing pressures could adversely affect utilization, pricing and financial results, particularly in service lines more directly exposed to discretionary completions activity.

The Company also continues to monitor longer-term trends that may influence demand for its services, including ongoing regulatory focus on emissions and flaring, the pace of natural gas infrastructure development and data center power demands and also changing customer demand for field-level gas processing solutions. While the Company’s direct exposure to natural gas markets is more limited than its exposure to crude oil markets, these factors could provide incremental support for certain of the Company’s service offerings.

We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non‑GAAP financial measure, as an important indicator of performance. The CODM primarily uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess segment profitability and make resource allocation decisions. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition related costs, severance and reorganization costs, gain on sale of assets, significant and unusual legal fees and settlements, impairment of assets, employee retention credit, adjustment to contingent consideration, and certain other non‑cash and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance. See “—Results of Operations” and “—Note Regarding Non‑GAAP Financial Measure” for more information and reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2026, we had total liquidity of $61.3 million, consisting of $4.2 million of cash on hand and availability under our Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility of $57.1 million. Under the Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility, the total loan capacity was $75.0 million, net of $4.2 million of Letters of Credit open under the facility. This compares to the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility of $71.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and $57.4 million as of December 31, 2025. We strive to maintain financial flexibility and proactively monitor potential capital sources to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements that permit us to manage the cyclicality associated with our business. We currently expect to have sufficient funds to meet the Company’s short and long term liquidity requirements and comply with our covenants of our debt agreements. Based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, we expect that cash generated from operations, combined with borrowings under our credit facilities, including our Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditure, working capital and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Although elevated commodity prices and ongoing supply constraints may support customer activity in the near term, the timing and extent of any corresponding changes in customer spending in the mid to longer term remain uncertain. Prolonged disruptions to global oil supply and transportation could further constrain supply and support commodity prices, while sustained elevated prices could weaken global energy demand and, in turn, affect North American oil and gas activity.
