Analysis
Innovex delivered third-quarter revenue of $ 265,054, which the release characterized as up 8% quarter-over-quarter and up 10% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $ 55,400, compared with $ 47,997 in the prior quarter and $ 43,613 in the prior-year quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 21 %, compared with 20 % and 18 %, respectively. Management attributed momentum to increased U.S. Land activity, modest share gains, and success in cementing tools, alongside growth in subsea backlog and international opportunities.
GAAP profitability was weaker than the prior-year comparison. Net income was $ 26,286 versus $ 39,228, diluted earnings per common share were $ 0.37 versus $ 0.57, and income from operations was $ 32,326 versus $ 62,284. The prior-year period included a gain on sale of assets, net of (40,918 ), versus (89 ) in the current quarter. Current-quarter costs also included a provision for legal settlement of 1,761, acquisition and integration costs of 900, legal defense costs of 28 within the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, and transaction costs of 555.
Cash generation remained positive but was below the prior-year quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $ 38,819, Free Cash Flow was $ 32,390, and capital expenditures were (6,429 ). Cash and cash equivalents ended at $ 188,763, while management reported no bank debt. Payments on acquisitions, net of cash acquired were (63,347 ), driving net cash used in investing activities of $ (69,433 ) and net change in cash and cash equivalents of $ (33,292 ).
The geographic revenue table showed Revenue - North America Onshore of 145,664 and Revenue - International & Offshore of 119,390. Management highlighted subsea awards in Malaysia and Indonesia, a North Sea fishing contract, Middle East technology qualifications, and re-entry into Venezuela. It also said direct awards in the Middle East are expected to increase, bypassing local agents and expanding margins.
For Q4 2026, Innovex expects $260 - $270 million in total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $53 - $58 million. The Company did not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, citing the inability to forecast the timing and magnitude of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Management identified project timing and geopolitical uncertainty as potential sources of quarter-to-quarter variability, while positioning subsea backlog as a contributor to meaningful growth in 2027 and beyond.
