• Revenue and Earnings Decline

  Q2 revenue fell 7% YoY to $393.2M; net income plunged 89% to $2.0M from $18.0M a year ago, driven by lower activity across all segments and a less favorable mix.

• Margin Compression

  Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted to 19.3% from 28.6% in Q2 2025, reflecting higher costs and reduced high-margin work.

• Enhanced Drilling Acquisition Closed

  On July 23, 2026, Expro completed the ~$215M cash acquisition of Enhanced Drilling, expanding its managed pressure drilling capabilities.

Expro's Q2 2026 results show a sharp decline in profitability despite a sequential revenue rebound. Revenue fell 7% year-over-year to $393 million, and net income collapsed to $2 million from $18 million a year ago, driven by lower activity across all regions and a less favorable mix. Adjusted EBITDA margin compressed to 19.3% from 28.6% in Q2 2025. The quarter was marked by extreme oil price volatility due to the Strait of Hormuz conflict, which disrupted customer spending. Positively, the company closed the $215 million Enhanced Drilling acquisition in July, completed its redomicile to the Cayman Islands, and continued aggressive share buybacks — repurchasing $40 million in stock during the first half. The credit facility was upsized to $450 million, providing ample liquidity. While the macro backdrop remains challenging, the strategic moves position Expro to capture recovery when geopolitical tensions ease.
