RPC, Inc. reports Q3 adjusted EPS 9c, consensus 7c

Reports Q3 revenue $447.1M, consensus $402.69M. “Sequentially we saw most of our service line revenues improve including pressure pumping, which saw a 14% increase from a soft second quarter. Cudd Pressure Control’s coiled tubing business also posted a 19% increase, supported by the deployment of a new large diameter unit. Additionally, Thru-Tubing Solutions’ downhole tools business continued to experience strong demand, driven by new product introductions that deliver leading performance for our customers. Patterson Services’ rental tools and Pintail’s wireline also saw modest increases in the quarter,” stated Ben M. Palmer, RPC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our diversified offerings, strong brands, and balance sheet provide resiliency, yet the challenging environment continues to require disciplined execution.”
