Bull points
- We are pleased that our Q1 financial results continue to demonstrate the earnings power and cash flow resilience of our platform, with further margin enhancement opportunities in 2025 as synergies are realized through the full integration of both DrillQuip and DWS.
- Our first quarter revenue was $240 million, which is an increase of 88% year-over-year and a decrease of 4% sequentially. The year-over-year increase is primarily driven by the impact of the Droquip and DWS acquisitions.
- Our Q1 NAMLAND revenue of $121 million increased 17% as compared to Q4 revenue of $103 million, primarily as a result of one full quarter of DWS results.
Bear points
- The decrease in revenue sequentially is driven by the continued weakness in Mexico, sequential declines in Canada related to spring breakup, and lumpiness in our subsea deliveries related to project timings.
- We expect deliveries in the subsea business to be back half-weighted in 2025.
- As anticipated, our international and offshore revenue was down from Q4 2024, but the decline in revenue was greater than we had originally anticipated.
