  • Adjusted EBITDA of $353 million

  • Share repurchases of $40 million (approximately 3.7 million shares repurchased at an average $10.81 per share)
  • Total order backlog of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2025

Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Expro’s fourth quarter results closed out a solid year of financial performance. In 2025, the Company generated $127 million of Adjusted free cash flow, significantly surpassing expectations and more than doubling the amount generated in the prior year. Our team’s commitment to operational excellence and fiscal discipline enabled the achievement of yet another year of Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion – the fourth year in a row.

“During the year, Expro executed well on its long-term strategic pillars. On the financial side, the Company increased its capital return to shareholders by repurchasing $40 million of stock, continued to strengthen the balance sheet by voluntarily repaying $42 million of our revolving credit facility, and as mentioned, continued to expand our Adjusted EBITDA margin to 22.0% - among the top in the peer group.

“From a technological perspective, our track record of continual innovation was also on display during the year as the Company introduced many new technologies across our geographic segments. Our ability to quickly deploy new technologies that provide value remains a key reason why customers choose to do business with Expro. We saw further evidence of this during the fourth quarter as we secured one of the largest single-customer awards in our history, a four-year, $380 million contract in North Africa.

“Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about 2026. We generally expect 2026 financial results to be similar to and in some respects better than 2025 characterized by an industry sense of optimism growing for the back half of 2026 into 2027. Our strong order backlog of $2.5 billion provides good revenue visibility this year where we expect to generate 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $355 million to $375 million with 2026 Adjusted free cash flow of $125 million to $145 million. Even with a relatively stable outlook, we expect to make further progress towards our longer-term strategic goals with further expansion of our EBITDA margin and free cash flow generation. Additionally, our capital allocation strategy remains intact – invest in the business to drive margin expansion and provide cash returns to shareholders.”

Free Cash Flow and Share Repurchases

Expro generated $57 million in net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating cash flow for the full year was $210 million, driven by operations and by a lower consumption of working capital during the current year as compared to the previous year.

Expro generated $23 million of free cash flow and $28 million of Adjusted free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2025. Adjusted free cash flow for the full year was $127 million, significantly surpassing our guidance of $110 million to $120 million, mainly due to high-grading of capital expenditure projects and reduction in the capital intensity of the business.

Expro is focused on and committed to generating significant free cash flow, and we expect to continue to do so by further expanding the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin and reducing the capital intensity of the business. Management continues to believe that adjusted free cash flow better reflects the Company’s performance by excluding one-time items, in line with corporate finance principles.

During 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 3.7 million shares at an average price of $10.81, resulting in $40 million of total share repurchases, achieving the annual repurchase target for 2025. Expro will continue to evaluate additional share repurchases in line with the Company’s capital allocation framework.

Financial Guidance

While the outlook remains fairly stable, we expect to further expand our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year in 2026, as well as generate more Adjusted free cash flow in 2026 compared to 2025. With regards to the first quarter of 2026, we anticipate a normal seasonal decline caused by the inclement weather, particularly in the North Sea, and lower customer budgetary spends at the start of a new calendar year. The guidance below represents our expectations as of the date of this release.

Segment Results 

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the fourth quarter of 2025 to the results for the third quarter of 2025.

NLA

Revenue for NLA was $130 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $21 million, or 14%, compared to $151 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower subsea well access and well construction revenue in the U.S., offset by higher well intervention and integrity revenue in Argentina. 

Segment EBITDA for NLA was $32 million, or 24% of revenue, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $37 million, or 24% of revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease of $5 million in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was largely attributable to lower activity and less favorable product mix during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

ESSA

Revenue for ESSA was $116 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $10 million, or 8%, compared to $126 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower subsea well access and well construction revenue in Angola, and central and west Africa, partially offset by higher well flow management revenue in Bulgaria. 

Segment EBITDA for ESSA was $40 million, or 34% of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $1 million, or 1%, compared to $41 million, or 32% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in Segment EBITDA was primarily attributable to lower activity while the increase in Segment EBITDA margin reflects a more favorable product mix. 

MENA

Revenue for MENA was $93 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $7 million, or 8%, compared to $86 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was driven by higher well flow management revenue in Algeria and Saudi Arabia.

Segment EBITDA for MENA was $36 million, or 39% of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $6 million, or 21%, compared to $30 million, or 35% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was primarily due to higher well flow management activity and a resulting more favorable activity mix during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

APAC

Revenue for APAC was $43 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $6 million, or 13%, compared to $49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower well flow management activity in Indonesia and India, lower well construction revenue in Australia, offset by higher subsea well access activity in Australia. 

Segment EBITDA for APAC was $7 million, or 16% of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $3 million compared to $10 million, or 21% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was largely attributable to lower activity and less favorable product mix during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
