What drove it
- Higher activity levels in hydraulic fracturing, well testing, and wireline logging service lines drove strong flow-through from incremental revenue.
- Higher net income and improved working capital management year-over-year supported free cash flow.
- Strong accounts receivable collections and cash generation during the quarter supported higher cash and cash equivalents and lower Net Debt.
- The Company cited record activity levels on recently awarded contracts across the region and expanding technology offerings.
Concerns
- Management cited continued conflict in the region, although it stated that the Company maintained its presence intact in all operating units with no interruption to customer activities.
- The filing identifies changing commodity prices, market volatility, customer capital spending, and political, market, financial and regulatory risks as factors that could affect results.
- Free cash flow was partially offset by higher capital expenditures during the six-months ended June 30, 2026.
What to watch
- Whether higher activity levels in hydraulic fracturing, well testing, and wireline logging continue to support revenue growth and operating leverage.
- Cash conversion and working capital management, including the timing of payments on Accounts payable and accrued expenses in relation to payment terms.
- Execution on recently awarded contracts and expanding technology offerings amid continued regional conflict.
- Further changes in cash, total debt, and Net Debt.

Analysis
NESR reported a strong second quarter, with revenue of $ 520,752, up 59.1 % year-over-year and 28.7 % sequentially. Net income was 44,017, up 189.6 % year-over-year and 84.7 % sequentially, while diluted EPS was 0.43, up 168.8 % year-over-year and 85.8 % sequentially. Management attributed the earnings increase primarily to strong flow-through from incremental revenue generated by higher activity levels in hydraulic fracturing, well testing, and wireline logging.
The quarter showed substantial growth in non-GAAP profitability. Adjusted EBITDA was 106,184, increasing 50.5 % year-over-year and 38.5 % sequentially. Adjusted net income was 45,469 and Adjusted Diluted EPS was 0.44. The adjustment to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS included $1.5 million of Total Charges and Credits, primarily $1.0 million of current expected credit loss provisions.
Cash generation was also a central feature of the release. Operating cash flow was $174.0 million, growing 466.6% year-over-year and 76.7% sequentially, while free cash flow was $99.9 million. The Company attributed the year-over-year free-cash-flow improvement to higher net income and improved working capital management, particularly closer control of payment timing on Accounts payable and accrued expenses relative to payment terms. Higher capital expenditures during the six-months ended June 30, 2026 partially offset that improvement.
The balance sheet strengthened during the first half. Cash and cash equivalents were $175.0 million, compared to $124.8 million as of December 31, 2025, while total debt was $274.6 million compared to $310.1 million at December 31, 2025. Net Debt declined to $99.6 million from $185.3 million, which the Company attributed to strong accounts receivable collections and quarterly cash generation. Management also described record activity on recently awarded contracts and no customer-activity interruption despite continued regional conflict.
No forward financial guidance was provided in the filing text. The principal operating items to monitor are the durability of activity-led revenue growth, continued conversion of earnings into operating cash flow and free cash flow, working capital execution, and the effect of regional conflict and other cited market risks on customer activity and contract execution.
