National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (NESR) reported fourth‑quarter 2025 results that included $398.3 million in revenue, up 34.9% from the prior quarter and 15.9% year‑over‑year. GAAP net income was $7.8 million, while adjusted net income rose to $31.9 million, a 106.6% sequential gain. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.32, beating the consensus estimate of $0.26 by $0.06, or 23.1%. Adjusted EBITDA reached $84.4 million, up 32.0% sequentially but down 3.2% year‑over‑year, reflecting a modest decline in overall margin pressure.
The revenue increase was driven largely by the company’s MENA‑focused production and drilling services segment, where contract wins and higher activity levels offset headwinds in legacy product lines. The company’s focus on the Middle East and North Africa has continued to pay off, with new contracts such as the integrated unconventional completions scope in Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah development adding to the top‑line momentum.
The earnings beat can be attributed to disciplined cost control and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin MENA operations. While GAAP net income was impacted by discrete charges totaling $24.1 million—including impairments, credit provisions and restructuring costs—adjusted figures exclude those items, allowing the company to showcase its core profitability. The $0.32 EPS beat also reflects the company’s ability to maintain pricing power in its core markets.
Margin analysis shows an adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.2% for the quarter, a slight compression from the prior year’s 21.5% due to the year‑over‑year decline in EBITDA. Management has set a target of 25% EBITDA margin for 2026, indicating confidence that the company can restore higher profitability as the MENA segment continues to expand. Full‑year gross profit and operating income have declined year‑over‑year, underscoring the need for margin improvement in the coming year.
The balance sheet has strengthened markedly: operating cash flow rose 15.2% year‑over‑year to $264.2 million, and free cash flow reached $120.8 million. Net debt fell to $185.3 million, a reduction of nearly $90 million from the prior year, reflecting a significant deleveraging effort that improves financial flexibility.
Management outlook is optimistic. CEO Sherif Foda said, “2026 will be the best year ever, from a growth and from numbers.” The company expects a 2026 revenue run rate of approximately $2 billion and is positioning itself for a new phase of growth with record revenues and strong operational momentum. Investors responded positively to the results, citing the strong revenue growth, earnings beat and balance‑sheet improvement as key drivers of the favorable market reaction.
