Second Quarter Highlights
Adam Anderson, CEO, commented, “We delivered an excellent second quarter – with revenue at the high end of our guidance range and strong operational execution across the business. Performance was supported by improving activity in key international markets and growing commercial momentum within our subsea business. Our ‘No Barriers’ culture has unleashed our subsea teams – as evidenced by a $20 million subsea award in Malaysia, the first successful XPak trial for a major operator in Asia Pacific, and the first installation of our ArgoLATCH Subsea Release Plug in a key deepwater exploration well in Brazil – an innovation that combines technologies from both legacy Innovex and legacy Dril-Quip. Improving end-market fundamentals, innovation, and strong execution are expected to continue supporting momentum in our subsea business results over the coming quarters. Our Canadian wellhead team also completed its first surface wellhead delivery to Mexico during the quarter, leveraging Innovex’s international platform to expand into a new market. These results reflect the strength of our differentiated technology portfolio and the benefits of our customer-focused culture. On July 1st, we completed the acquisition of TCO, a highly complementary, capital-light business that expands our technology offering, strengthens our international presence, and exemplifies our disciplined ‘big impact, small ticket’ acquisition strategy.”
Kendal Reed, CFO, continued, “Our second quarter results demonstrate the strength of Innovex’s capital-light business model. We generated $30 million of Free Cash Flow and ended the quarter with $222 million of cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt, providing significant financial flexibility to invest in high-return capital allocation opportunities. We are very pleased with the completion of the TCO acquisition for $95 million, funded with a mix of cash and equity, which preserves our strong balance sheet and financial capacity to pursue our robust pipeline of M&A opportunities. TCO is an excellent example of our stringent quantitative and qualitative M&A framework in action. TCO is a high-margin, cash-generative business with a portfolio of largely consumable products that fit our ‘big impact, small ticket’ business proposition. In addition to acquiring TCO at an attractive valuation, we see meaningful opportunities to accelerate its organic growth by leveraging the Innovex platform. The transaction enhances Innovex’s corporate margin profile and is expected to be accretive to Innovex’s earnings per share.”
Operational & Financial Results
Kendal Reed, CFO, commented, “Operational execution remained strong throughout the second quarter as we continued to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the business while delivering revenue at the high end of our guidance range. Our business in the Middle East improved relative to the first quarter and Mexico benefited from increased customer activity and continued demand for our differentiated completion technologies. Across our subsea businesses, we continued to build commercial momentum through new technology deployments, increased customer engagement and improved operational execution. While geopolitical uncertainty and project timing may continue to create quarter-to-quarter variability, we believe the underlying trajectory of the business remains positive as we enter the second half of 2026.”
Adam Anderson, CEO, concluded, “We are encouraged by the momentum across our platform of businesses. Activity across Latin America, particularly in Mexico, continues to improve. We are also seeing encouraging commercial progress in both the Middle East and Asia Pacific, including market share gains in expandable liner hanger technologies, growth in unconventional applications in Saudi Arabia, and the deployment of our technologies into new fields. I am particularly excited by the outlook for our subsea business, where improving offshore market fundamentals are complemented by our stronger competitive position, differentiated technologies, alliance with OneSubsea, and customer-focused commercial execution. Over the past several months, we have secured a number of meaningful project awards and expanded our presence with new customers and in new regions, providing us with growing confidence in the long-term trajectory of the business. Looking ahead, we are also excited about the opportunities created by the addition of TCO, whose differentiated technologies further strengthen our ability to deliver value for customers around the world.
More broadly, we believe Innovex is entering a new phase. We now have a stronger, more efficient operating platform, a broader portfolio of differentiated technologies, and greater opportunities to extend those technologies across customers, applications, and geographies. We remain focused on converting these advantages into sustainable, profitable growth while maintaining our discipline around execution and capital allocation.”
Balance Sheet, Debt, Cash Flow & Other
Net cash provided by operating activities was $37 million for the second quarter of 2026, while capital expenditures totaled $7 million (approximately 2.7% of revenue) for the second quarter of 2026.
Innovex generated Free Cash Flow of $30 million during the second quarter of 2026 and ended the quarter with approximately $222 million of cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt.
Innovex maintains a strong liquidity position and disciplined balance sheet to preserve flexibility and support high-return capital allocation opportunities. We continue to focus on M&A opportunities with strong quantitative and qualitative characteristics.
Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”)
Innovex’s efficient capital allocation and capital-light business model enable the Company to generate strong returns on its invested capital. Income from operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 was $100 million. Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 was 12%. We remain focused on capital efficiency, which we believe is a key driver of sustainable value creation for our stockholders.
Q3 2026 Guidance
Looking to the third quarter of 2026, Innovex expects to generate $260 - $270 million in total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $51 - $57 million. Q3 guidance includes TCO contributions.
The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable
GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing and magnitude of
items that have not yet occurred.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) as net income (loss) before interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), net, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on sale of assets and other expense, net, further adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of our ongoing performance or which are non-cash in nature. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the profitability of our business operations and to compare our operating performance to our competitors without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure and excluding costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. We track Adjusted EBITDA on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Free Cash Flow
We also utilize Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure) to evaluate the cash generated by our operations and results of operations. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful because it demonstrates the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures. We track Free Cash Flow both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue. Free Cash Flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as we have non-discretionary expenditures, including, but not limited to, any principal payments required under the terms of our credit facility, which are not deducted in calculating Free Cash Flow.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
We utilize Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) (a non-GAAP measure) to assess the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time and to compare our capital efficiency to our competitors. We define ROCE as income from operations excluding acquisition and integration costs, litigation related expenses not reflective of our ongoing operating performance, and income tax expense (resulting in Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax) divided by average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as the combined values of debt and stockholders’ equity. We revised our definition of ROCE and Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax to exclude litigation related expenses not reflective of our ongoing operating performance, which for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 is reflective of the costs related to the Impulse Litigation. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the aforementioned litigation related expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax and ROCE provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. We did not revise prior years’ Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax or ROCE because there were no other charges similar in nature to these costs.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and ROCE do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income and net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and ROCE may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see tables below.
Management has provided outlook regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes certain charges. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure has not been provided because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
Innovex delivered an excellent second quarter – with revenue at the high end of the guidance range and strong operational execution across the business.
