- Revenue, net loss and adjusted EBITDAA of $141.8 million, $(4.9) million and $8.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026
- Total liquidity as of June 30, 2026 of $46.8 million
HOUSTON - Nine Energy Service, Inc. (“Nine” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: NINE) reported second quarter 2026 revenues of $141.8 million, net loss of $(4.9) million, or $(0.35) per diluted share and $(0.35) per basic share, and adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 million.
“Second quarter revenue increased sequentially and was within our previously provided guidance range; however, adjusted EBITDA was below our guidance range,” said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nine Energy Service. “While industry activity improved modestly during the second quarter, our profitability was negatively impacted by significant margin compression within our Coiled Tubing business. During the quarter, two of our large-diameter coiled tubing units, representing approximately 17% of our large diameter fleet, were taken out of service due to maintenance-related issues. At the same time, we experienced meaningful inflationary pressures across several cost categories, including consumables, labor, and repairs and maintenance.”
“One of the affected units returned to service early in the third quarter, while the second unit remains under repair and is currently expected to return near year-end. As a result, we anticipate our Coiled Tubing operations will remain constrained until that unit is restored to service.”
“Our Completion Tools business delivered a strong quarter, supported by increased domestic sales and continued growth in international markets. We also continue to make meaningful progress commercializing our new technologies, and demand for our dissolvable solutions is increasing as operators extend lateral lengths. These trends reinforce our confidence in the long-term growth opportunities across our dissolvable offering.”
“Cementing remained a steady contributor despite uneven activity levels; however, this business also experienced inflationary cost pressures during the second quarter related to materials and labor, negatively impacting margins. In Wireline, we are making steady progress executing our expansion in the Haynesville Basin.”
“The macro backdrop remains uncertain, particularly given recent geopolitical events. We expect the average U.S. rig count during the third quarter to be relatively flat to slightly up compared to the second quarter of this year.”
“With the sustained revenue loss from our damaged coiled tubing unit, combined with persistent cost inflation across service lines, we anticipate third-quarter revenue and profitability to be flat to modestly down compared to the second quarter.”
“Despite these near-term challenges, we believe the underlying fundamentals of the business remain intact. Our focus continues to be on operational execution, cost discipline, and expanding the adoption of our differentiated technologies. Supported by a stronger balance sheet, a growing technology portfolio, and an excellent team, we remain confident in the long-term value potential of Nine.”

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported revenues of $141.8 million, gross profit of $12.8 million and adjusted gross profitB of $19.9 million.

ABSee end of press release for definitions of these non-GAAP measures. These measures are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), gross profit or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets. Our computation of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
On March 5, 2026 (the “Plan Effective Date”), the Company emerged from bankruptcy, and in connection therewith, the Company applied fresh start accounting on such date. The application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes, which is referred to as the “Successor.” The Company prior to the application of fresh start account is referred to as the “Predecessor.” With the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair value. The Plan Effective Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor. Accordingly, the Predecessor and Successor financial information are not comparable. For additional information on the Company’s application of fresh start accounting, see Note 3 - Emergence from Bankruptcy in Item 1 of Part I of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026.

AAdjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (which is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization) further adjusted for (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) loss or gain on revaluation of contingent liabilities, (iv) loss or gain on the extinguishment of debt, (v) loss or gain on the sale of subsidiaries, (vi) restructuring charges, (vii) stock-based compensation and certain cash award expense, (viii) loss or gain on sale of property and equipment, and (ix) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business, such as legal expenses and settlement costs related to litigation outside the ordinary course of business. Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows us and them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure and helps identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of impairments, acquisitions and dispositions and costs that are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business.
BAdjusted gross profit (loss) is defined as revenues less cost of revenues excluding depreciation and amortization. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit (loss) because we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization, which represent non-cash expenses. Management believes adjusted gross profit (loss) provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operation and helps management evaluate our operating performance by eliminating the impact of depreciation and amortization, which we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.
