Thank you, Ellen. Good morning, and thank you for joining our conference call today where we will discuss our third quarter 2025 results and provide our thoughts on market trends in addition to discussing our company's specific strategy and outlook. In a quarter marked by lower crude oil prices, uncertainty about the oil macro and fluctuating US trade policies, US shale-driven activities slowed further while offshore and international markets demonstrated resilience benefiting from long-cycle project investments. With this backdrop, the company performed well, finishing the quarter within our guided EBITDA range but with weaker contributions from our U.S. operations due to completion activity declines experienced during the quarter. Our consolidated results in the third quarter were driven by backlog growth achieved over recent quarters along with solid execution of projects. Oil States International, Inc. remains well-positioned to benefit going forward as oil and gas operators favor capital allocation to offshore projects with higher production, slower decline curves, and lower breakeven commodity prices. During the third quarter, 75% of our consolidated revenues were generated from offshore and international projects, a percentage that is up both sequentially and year over year. This continued shift in revenue mix reflects our multiyear strategy to grow our offshore and international project-driven content which generally comprises longer cycle higher margin work. Our offshore manufactured products segment continued to deliver strong performance. Revenues increased 2% sequentially while adjusted segment EBITDA rose 6% due to product and service mix. Backlog increased to $399 million, again allowing us to achieve our high levels since June 2015. Robust bookings of $145 million, which represents a 29% quarter-over-quarter increase, was boosted by strong military orders yielding a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 times. The strength and diversity of our backlog supports our outlook for total incremental revenue and earnings growth as…

Thanks, Cindy. Good morning, everyone. During the third quarter, we generated revenues of $165 million and adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $21 million. Net income totaled $2 million or $0.03 per share, which included facility exit, severance, and other charges totaling $4 million, the majority of which related to our US land restructuring. Our adjusted net income totaled $5 million or $0.08 per share after excluding these charges. Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment revenues of $109 million and adjusted segment EBITDA of $22 million in the third quarter. Adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 21% in the third quarter. In our Completion and Production Services segment, we generated revenues of $28 million and adjusted segment EBITDA of $8 million in the third quarter. We achieved an adjusted segment EBITDA margin of 29%. During the quarter, the segment recorded facility exit and other restructuring charges totaling $3 million. In our Downhole Technologies segment, we generated revenues of $29 million and an adjusted segment EBITDA loss of $1 million in the quarter due to the impact of higher costs due to tariffs and lower international activity levels. Turning to cash flow, we generated $31 million of cash flow from operations in the third quarter, double the amount we generated in the second quarter. Cash flows were used to fund $8 million of net CapEx. During the quarter, we repurchased $4 million of our common stock under our share repurchase authorization. In addition, we purchased $6 million of our convertible senior notes at a slight discount. Further, as a testament to our strong financial position, as of September 30, we maintain a solid cash on hand position with no borrowings outstanding under our asset-based revolving credit facility. Given our strong free cash flow outlook, we intend to remain opportunistic with additional purchases of our common stock and convertible senior notes, and we will continue to prioritize returns to stockholders. Now Cindy will offer some market outlook and concluding comments.

Despite recent economic volatility and continued uncertainty around trade tariffs, we continue to see solid demand for our offshore and international products and services. Our backlog is at a decade-high level, and we anticipate continued strength in future bookings with our fourth quarter book-to-bill ratio again expected to exceed one time. Industry analysts have suggested that while US land-based activity may remain subdued into 2026, offshore and international markets are expected to improve. Analysts point to a growing global focus on exploration and offshore development as operators seek more cost-efficient, lower carbon resources, which place Oil States International, Inc. in the center of this secular growth opportunity given our business mix and global base of operations. Regarding our outlook, based on what we know today, our fourth quarter consolidated revenues should increase 8% to 13% sequentially, and our fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $21 million to $22 million. Our cash flows from operations were very strong in the third quarter and are expected to improve in the fourth quarter, bringing the annual amount to $100 million plus. Our business mix and capital allocation strategies are purpose-driven. We are investing in innovation that provides meaningful technology advancements to the industry, driving solid results through project execution, generating significant cash flows that strengthen our balance sheet while returning cash to our stockholders through share buybacks. The decisions we make are focused on building a stronger, more resilient company that drives meaningful results for those we serve. Our business mix positions us strategically for market opportunities that develop. We have continued the journey to shift our business mix with a focus on generating differentiated cash flow conversion rates and an industry-leading free cash flow yield. By advancing next-generation technologies, building backlog with strong margins, executing with discipline, reducing debt, and returning cash to stockholders, we believe that we offer a compelling investment opportunity. That completes our prepared comments. Jordan, would you open up the call for questions and answers at this time, please?

Certainly. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, press star and 1 on your telephone keypad. The first question comes from the line of James Michael Rollyson from Raymond James. Your line is live.

Hey. Good morning, Cindy and Lloyd.

Hi, Jim.

Hey, Jim.

Cindy, as I kind of listened through earnings season so far this quarter, the drillers, offshore drillers, I should say, are all kind of talking about kind of mid to late next year rebound and maybe near-term bottom in activity. The guys in the infrastructure side of things are kind of talking about FID is picking up next year and beyond, and obviously, you guys had a great bookings quarter, and I think your commentary suggests that should continue. But I would love to just get kind of color on how conversations are going, kind of the flow of conversations, the maybe margin profile and the impact of tariffs there, and just kind of timing of how this backlog kind of rolls off as you go forward?

Thank you for the question. I think it's a fantastic one. I mean, what you're hearing from offshore exposed companies is that we've had a good year, but throughout the year with lower crude prices, some of the optimizing spending has shifted to the right a bit. That's both for contracting rigs as well as kind of new incremental projects, which you know, hits everybody to a certain degree. And that's why we kind of highlighted that we have a good base bookings quarter, but it was augmented by military. And so I just want to say that's kind of consistent with what you're hearing on the oil and gas side of the market. There is every thought that we're going to have an improved year in 2026, especially because some of this has slipped to the right. As it relates to our fourth quarter, we are going to again, I told you, I think we're going to have a book-to-bill north of one that's predicated on projects that are very close to the award stage, and that is both production infrastructure for us and kind of MPD type systems. Those are the drivers. And so it's always a question of the macro versus company-specific. But our company-specific looks good but maybe not quite as robust as we thought coming into the year with crude prices at sixty. Now all those just shift to the right, and therefore, '26 starts looking better. So I do think that what we're seeing is consistent. We've just had a better bookings year possibly than others for various reasons. Maybe it's the best way I'll look at that. I'm going to pivot to what I think was your second question, which was the tariff situation. And because so much of our projects that are…

It absolutely does. Appreciate all that color. And maybe just a follow-up there, Cindy, Downhole Technologies. If you kind of back out the tariff impact, would you because it was the first quarter you had negative EBITDA in that segment since COVID. I'm assuming that was almost all activity was lower, sure, but your margins have stayed very strong given all the things you've been working on for the past year plus. I'm assuming the tariffs were almost the entire extent of what drove that EBITDA negative. And so and then maybe any question or thoughts you have on the timing of how long that takes to actually flow through the inventory that's sits there and then pass through. Like, when do you get back to positive EBITDA?

Yes. You're absolutely correct in your assessment. Now I will add to that, however, that even our plug demand was very weak in the quarter, not negative EBITDA, there in other words, there was no offset from the other portion of the consumables that we have in the mix. Or not sufficient offset, I'll call it. And we believe we may even see improved demand even in the fourth quarter, which is always weak because of holidays. Everybody knows that. We think we're going to see a little bit of an improved demand on the plug side simply because of inventory drawdowns during the quarter. There's a little bit of a combination, but if I look at a negative impact, yes, I'm going to put it on tariffs. And then to your point, how long it takes, I'm guessing it'll be early next year. You know, I think the strategy for us is the same, which is leverage and grow your international content and, therefore, have greater overall demand and cost absorption. And as you say, we've got to start passing through the tariff impact. If it's not mitigated or reduced from the levels that we have now. And we're like everybody else. We're looking at every source around the world, both domestically and internationally, to get the cost down. You've heard those comments from other people in the space. But it's not immediate. We're also evaluating do we just start doing gun assemblies in our Batam facility in Indonesia so that we can support the international demand that we had with a lower tariff burden. Again, give us probably six months to work through some of these things, but we're doing our best not to allow it to, you know, deter activity too much from a consolidated basis for the company.

Appreciate all that color. Thank you, Cindy.

Thank you, Jim.

Your next question comes from the line of Stephen David Gengaro from Stifel. Your line is live.

Thanks. Good morning, everybody.

This is David.

How are you? I guess two things for me, Cindy. The first, you've done a lot on the US land side to kind of high-grade the portfolio and control and cut costs where necessary. Can you talk about when we think about the margin side of that business, especially C and P, do you think we're seeing the full impact of that in the margins? Yeah. I know it gets masked by kind of underlying activity, etcetera, but do you think you're starting to see the full impact there? How does that unfold over the next twelve months?

It's a very good comment. And I, you know, I just tell everybody, I think we'll be through a lot of the transition by the end of the year, which makes the results a little bit cleaner going forward. Once we get the finalization, I'll call it, you realize we're moving equipment all over the place. You know? Going into new basins, new customers, closing facilities, incurring severance, and again, I do pray that we get kind of most of this out of the system by the end of the year and have clean margins going forward. But once we do, we expect depending on timing of work and everything else caveat that goes with it, high twenties to low thirties EBITDA margins. And so again, I think that is in the context of 2024, Lloyd, correct me if I'm not wrong, being in the high teens EBITDA margins? Mid teens. Mid teens. So what you see, yeah, the revenue is going to be a bit lower, and we'll give you very specific guidance on that as we move forward into 2026. But it will be at higher margins. And greater free cash flow because the business is this is part yeah. It's an EBITDA drag, but more importantly, it's a cash flow drag. And so we're really making step changes in that segment focused specifically on free cash flow generation over the long term.

Thanks. And just two other things. One's a follow-up to that. Have again, outside of underlying activity levels, have we seen the majority of the revenue impact already? Right, from businesses that have been pared down or divested as you high-grade the portfolio?

The majority. Yes.

Okay. Good. The other quick one is I think at the end of last year, I think you said in the K, I think the number was 70% of the backlog was going to convert over the next twelve months. I think that was right from last year. You've had very good order flow this year. Do you expect is it fair to assume that your current backlog is in a similar spot from a realization perspective over the next twelve months? Or is that elongated at all? How should we think about that?

It's a little bit elongated with the military awards that we got. Those are typically multiyear kind of delivery that span over a period of time. So awards we expect to get in Q4 will probably leverage that back towards the, you know, longer-term kind of trends that you see on product rollout. If I look at a point in time, the point in time with the military would be down just a little bit in terms of that percentage roll-off in the forward twelve or fifteen months. That can change, obviously, with the mix of things coming in the backlog and what we expect in moves it back the other direction, if that makes sense.

Yes. Okay. Perfect. I think that's all for me. Thank you.

Alright. Thank you, Stephen.

Your final question comes from the line of Joshua James from Daniel Energy Partners. Your line is live.

Thanks. Good morning.

Good morning.

First question for you, and then stick on the offshore theme. A number of the customers you deal with have exposure to both US land and offshore, and as there's been sort of a massive wave of E and P consolidation over the last couple of years. When you talk to those customers about their capital, do you view this as a structural shift offshore versus US land spending? And do you think this consumes a greater share of their budgets moving forward? Or is this just sort of what happens in a weak commodity environment as offshore breakevens have continued to come down?

I do think it's more of a secular trend. And, of course, we have a mix of customers that some do have both exposure to US land and offshore, others like Petrobras as an example, is much more just focused on offshore deepwater. And so it's a mix there. I just do there's always different reasons for the investments that are made. But we can all debate whether we're at tier one acreage, tier two acreage. It all comes down to what are the breakevens and how attractive are they at sixty or seventy dollars a barrel, right, which is kind of the environment we see going forward, but you get below sixty. And I think those marginal investments tend to shift just a bit. I made those comments on my call. And the flip side is, you know, there are kind of lower AFE cost, shorter time to first production on land. So there's oftentimes reasons to drill wells on land without question, but they also the decline curves are much higher. So it's really hard to isolate on one versus the other for someone that has dual exposure. I just think that the macro trend with Rider success in deepwater, they are longer-lived reserves. And the time from discovery to first production has shortened, that that just definitely seems to be a trend more of a secular trend in our view. And, of course, a lot of the decisions we make are based on product differentiation, history in the marketplace, technology differentiators, and we just have a lot more quite frankly, that we deliver to the offshore and international market. It's much harder to not have commoditization on US land. That's just reality. And so we are trying to really focus on areas that we think bring value to the company and bring value to our shareholders.

So on that point, Cindy, could you expand a little bit more? You highlighted some of the safety awards, at least one of which was around MPD. Could you elaborate a bit more on some of the products that have been driving your backlog build offshore? And I assume a lot of them have to do with not only safety but, you know, making operations more efficient for the customers. We hear about efficiencies a lot in US land, but maybe just speak to the things you're doing there. And the specific products that have really driven this outside of the military towards the strength in the backlog offshore?

We have some, honestly, just ongoing recurring backlog that comes from our key connector products in many basins. We have crane operations. There's a number of, I'll call it, just base orders. But what has really augmented our orders of the military awards that really came in Q3 has been production infrastructure, most of which is high technology. It's our key leading flex joint technology you know very well. The industry knows very well. And much of that has gone into the demand environment in Brazil, not surprisingly, Petrobras has by far a leading position in offshore activity and investment. And so that is really kind of what has led. Now we are augmenting that with new technology, the MPD systems we brought to market early last year, it's working well, getting strong customer acceptance. And we expect that to continue to grow. There is the hope that we'll get incremental new demand from things like the mineral recovery that we have in place for subsea minerals recovery. We've had pilots that have been in backlog, but not much this year. And then we as you know, we have that offshore wind kit. We're still bidding and quoting and working with companies on budgets and planning, but nothing's really come into bear at this point in time. So could be some upside outside of our standard oil and gas and military awards long term. But right now, just think ongoing recurring demand that the general industry can consume married with production infrastructure investment.

Okay. Thanks. And then, I would like to sneak in one quick US land question if I might. Just thinking about the cycle. So it's been talked about a little bit on the call, but your ability to expand margins in a pretty tough market has been impressive over the last twelve to eighteen months. Michael, just want to think about customers living within cash flow, but at some point, they don't want their production to roll. It'll be interesting to see what level of activity is necessary to maintain production. But how do you view where we are? And how do you avoid cutting too much in the US land business to make sure that when the business improves, you can take advantage of knowing that, you know, there seems to be a structural shift towards natural gas activity over the next three to five years. That's going to be coming. And then I'll turn it back. Thanks.

Yeah. No. I think it's a great question. And what we have done is this is not a one-year decision. It's been a multiyear look back. What where have our technology held up? Where have our margins held up and importantly, what has been the free cash flow generation at 560 rigs working or a thousand rigs working. And we are being selective in saying, you know, some of the businesses are so commoditized now. They weren't really generating returns in much higher rig count environments, and they're certainly not doing any in low. It's so the point is, is that trend going to be different if the rig count goes up a 100 rigs or completion count? We concluded the answer is not for selected product lines, so this is not a view of US land never coming back. It is a view of what product lines we want to offer to the US land market long term. And that's really what it was because you can look at our margins at there's really good margins in selected businesses. Most of those are in our extended reach technology, our Gulf Of Mexico operations, our international they were less so around, you know, you all knew we got into flowback thinking it was a cash flow generating return. Well, it turned out not to be a very good business. And we just don't want to be in that. Right? And so I think that's kind of more we're being so not getting out of land, we're just being very selective about the ones we pursue long term.

Understood. Thank you. I'll turn it back.

We have our final question from James Michael Rollyson from Raymond James. Your line is live.

To come back in, but Cindy, I want to make sure I heard something right. Did you say with your guidance that you guided 4Q revenues and EBITDA and that was a little bit lower maybe than what the full year original guidance was a lot of guidance that have come down throughout the year. But did I hear you right that your cash flow from operations supposed to be a $100 million for the full year?

We had a, in our view, a very strong Q3, and we're going to have an even stronger Q4. You know, we in our project businesses that are long term, the timing of receivables and inventory purchases ebbs and flows. We are confident when we say that it'll be a $100 million plus for the year, which is a very significant number, as you know.

Yeah. So just doing math on that, you've done $55 million year to date, so it's kind of implies a $45 million plus 4Q number. And Lloyd, correct me if I'm wrong, but your CapEx is supposed to be a little bit on the lower end in 4Q. So like, it puts you on track for a very big 4Q free cash flow number and probably something, you know, north of $75 million for the year. Did I have that math right?

You do.

Just want to make sure I wasn't missing something because that didn't register when you first said it, so I went back and looked at the numbers and then I've had a holy cow moment. So appreciate that.

No.

Great question. That is a great question. Thank you.

There are no further questions. I would now like to turn the call back over to Cynthia B. Taylor for closing remarks.

Oh, I appreciate it, Jordan, and thanks to all of you for your time today. We believe we are focused on the right end markets. We're getting leaner by design. And we're being more selective about our capital allocation priorities. With that backdrop, we expect to see higher EBITDA margins and enhanced cash flows as we move into 2026. All efforts that should benefit our stockholders. Thanks for dialing in today, and have a great weekend.

This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
