The earnings call reflected a mixed performance with positive developments in revenue growth and strategic initiatives, but challenges remain with flat year-over-year revenue, declining diagnostic services, and geopolitical uncertainties impacting international operations.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Core Laboratories Q2 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance indicating a projected revenue range of $127.5 million to $134.5 million for the third quarter, with operating income expected to be between $13.6 million and $16.2 million, yielding operating margins of 11%. Earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter are anticipated to range from $0.18 to $0.22, based on an effective tax rate of 25%. The guidance reflects the company's expectations for steady international upstream activity and ongoing volatility in the U.S. onshore market due to geopolitical conflicts and fluctuating crude oil prices. Core Laboratories expects Reservoir Description's third-quarter revenue to remain flat, while Production Enhancement is projected to experience growth due to international and offshore demand. The company remains focused on maintaining a healthy balance sheet, as evidenced by a leverage ratio reduction to 1.27, and aims to use free cash flow to fund dividends, pursue growth opportunities, and conduct opportunistic share repurchases.

Revenue Growth

Second quarter 2025 revenue was up 5% compared to Q1, with improvements in operating income, operating margins, free cash flow, and earnings per share.

Reservoir Description Segment Performance

Revenue in the second quarter was up 7% compared to Q1. Operating margins increased from 10% in Q1 to 13% in Q2, reflecting continued demand for rock and fluid analysis and laboratory instrumentation sales.

Production Enhancement Segment Growth

Second quarter revenue was up 3% compared to Q1. Operating margins improved from 8% in Q1 to 9% in Q2, driven by demand for high-margin diagnostic services in the U.S. and improved international and domestic completion product sales.

Shareholder Returns and Debt Reduction

Core Lab repurchased over 237,000 shares, valued at $2.7 million, and reduced net debt by more than $9 million, achieving a leverage ratio of 1.27, the lowest in 8 years.

Innovative Technology and Strategic Initiatives

Continued introduction and deployment of new technologies like the HERO PerFRAC perforating system and geothermal energy project tracers, enhancing market position and client offerings.
