National Energy Services Reunited Corp.: Q4 FY2025 earnings call

What management said about Q4 FY2025, from the documents filed with the SEC on 17 February 2026: press release. The quarter’s numbers.

Key takeaways

  • Revenue rose on utilization and mobilization: Revenue was $398.3 million, up 34.9% sequentially and 15.9% year over year. Management attributed the increase to improved utilization and early mobilization on recently awarded contracts. Source
  • Adjusted EBITDA rose 32% sequentially: Adjusted EBITDA was $84.4 million, up 32.0% sequentially and down 3.2% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Source
  • Adjusted EPS doubled sequentially: Adjusted net income was $31.9 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.32, compared with $0.16 in the third quarter of 2025. Source
  • Jafurah unconventional completions award: Management cited an integrated unconventional completions scope in Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah development, which it said reinforces its partnership with Aramco. Source
  • Charges excluded from adjusted results: Adjusted net income excluded $24.1 million of charges and credits, which management described as discrete items recorded during the quarter. Source
  • Free cash flow fell on higher capital spending: Free cash flow was $120.8 million for 2025, against $124.2 million in 2024. Management attributed the decrease to higher growth capital expenditures, partly offset by working capital management. Source
  • Net Debt reduced to $185.3 million: Net Debt was $185.3 million at year end, against $274.9 million a year earlier. Management attributed the decrease to scheduled debt repayments being more than offset by free cash flow. Source
