• Q2 Revenue Beats, Net Loss Misses

  Revenue of $38.4M exceeded the $37.87M consensus, but net loss of $(4.6)M, or $(1.71) per share, compared to a $0.9M profit a year ago, driven by $4.3M higher SG&A from Weatherford deal costs.

• Adjusted EBITDA Below Expectations

  Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9M fell short of the $2.2M from Q2 2025, with margin contracting to 5% from 6%, reflecting merger-related professional fees and lower Canadian activity.

• Weatherford Acquisition on Track

  The merger with Weatherford is expected to close in the second half of 2026; stockholder approval has been obtained via written consent, eliminating the need for a vote.

• Strong Liquidity Position

  Cash of $31.3M and total debt of only $7.5M (finance leases) as of June 30, 2026, with an undrawn $14.5M ABL facility, providing financial flexibility through the acquisition close.
