• Q2 Revenue Beats, EBITDA Misses

  Revenue of $38.4M exceeded the $37.87M consensus, but adjusted EBITDA of $1.9M fell short of expectations, and a net loss of $(4.6)M was driven by $3.5M in merger-related professional fees.

• Merger Costs Weigh on Bottom Line

  Selling, general and administrative expenses surged to $18.0M from $13.6M a year ago, primarily due to costs associated with the Weatherford transaction.

• Weatherford Merger on Track

  The acquisition, announced June 1, is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Stockholder approval has been obtained via written consent, so no further vote is required.

• Liquidity Remains Strong

  Cash stood at $31.3M with only $7.5M in debt (finance leases) and an undrawn $14.5M ABL facility, providing ample runway through the merger close.

While the earnings miss and merger-related cost spike are notable, the deal's progress and revenue beat present a mixed picture.
