Executive summary

  • Q2 2025 revenue reached $2.2B, up 4% sequentially but down 1% year-over-year; net income was $108M, down 52% due to a prior-year gain and restructuring costs; adjusted EBITDA was $252M (11.5% margin).

  • Market conditions remain challenging due to macroeconomic uncertainty, OPEC+ quota changes, Middle East conflicts, and lower drilling activity, leading to cautious customer behavior.

  • Cost reduction initiatives are underway, targeting over $100M in annual savings by 2026 to offset inflation and rising tariffs.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
