Scott Bender, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Cactus, commented, “I am proud of our performance in the third quarter, which was highlighted by stronger Pressure Control margins and higher Spoolable Technologies revenues and margins than anticipated. Pressure Control revenues declined in-line with expectations while margins improved due to our prompt action to right-size the organization for current activity levels. We also benefitted from lower legal expenses. Spoolable Technologies revenues benefitted from increased international sales.”
“We anticipate that the U.S. land rig count will be flat to slightly down in the fourth quarter of 2025. Notwithstanding lower seasonal activity late in the year, we expect Pressure Control revenues to be relatively flat in the fourth quarter. We expect our Spoolable Technologies segment to experience a typical seasonal decline late in the year.”

Mr. Bender concluded, “The third quarter demonstrated our focus on cost control and our deep relationships with our customer base. The market outlook and domestic activity levels remain tepid, and I am proud of our team's efforts through the year to retain industry-leading profitability in the face of the volatile tariff environment. Integration planning work regarding the acquisition of a 65% interest in Baker Hughes' Surface Pressure Control business is progressing well, and we now anticipate closing in early 2026.”

Segment Performance
We report two business segments, Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies. Corporate and other expenses not directly attributable to either segment are presented separately as Corporate and Other expenses.

Pressure Control

Third quarter 2025 Pressure Control revenue decreased $11.1 million, or 6.2%, sequentially, primarily due to lower sales of wellhead and production related equipment resulting from reduced activity levels in the quarter and lower rental revenues. Operating income increased $2.2 million, or 5.2%, sequentially, with margins increasing 290 basis points due to the implementation of cost reduction initiatives combined with reduced legal expenses. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $2.1 million, or 3.9%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins increasing 320 basis points.

Spoolable Technologies

Third quarter 2025 Spoolable Technologies revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 1.0%, sequentially, due to lower domestic activity levels, offset by strong international sales. Operating income decreased $2.2 million, or 8.0%, sequentially, on lower volume and higher input costs, while margins decreased 210 basis points. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was lower by $2.0 million, or 5.2%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins declining 160 basis points.

Corporate and Other Expenses

Third quarter 2025 Corporate and Other expenses declined $0.5 million sequentially, primarily due to lower transaction and integration expenses. Third quarter Corporate and Other expenses contained $3.2 million of transaction-related expenses related to the announced plan to acquire a majority interest in Baker Hughes' Surface Pressure Control business, $0.3 million lower than the second quarter.

Adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and adjusted net income margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP but they are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted net income also includes certain other adjustments described below. Cactus defines diluted earnings per share, as adjusted as Adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted. Cactus defines Adjusted net income margin as Adjusted net income divided by total revenue. The Company believes this supplemental information is useful for evaluating performance period over period.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
(unaudited)

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP but are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Cactus defines EBITDA as net income excluding net interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization. Cactus defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the other items outlined below.
Cactus management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow management to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to financing methods or capital structure, or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Cactus defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Cactus presents this supplemental information because it believes it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.
