Successful Close of Transformational Acquisition (Cactus International)
Closed majority interest in Baker Hughes Surface Pressure Control (Cactus International) on Jan 1. Acquisition described as transformational with large installed base, geographic scale in Mid‑East, and expected supply‑chain synergies; management reiterated a target of $10 million annualized synergies and noted visibility into meaningful supply chain savings into 2027.

Spoolable Technologies — International Momentum and Product Innovation
Although seasonally down in Q4, Spoolable reported a record level of international products sold in 2025. Management is introducing several new SKUs and expects pilots with a large Mid‑East customer in 2026 that should benefit 2027 revenues and competitive moat.
Controlled CapEx and 2026 Guidance
Q4 net CapEx of ~$4 million and FY2025 net CapEx of $39 million (in line with prior guidance). FY2026 net CapEx guidance of $40–$50 million, including investments in Cactus International, FlexSteel manufacturing efficiencies, U.S. branch upgrades, and Saudi Wellhead facility enhancements.
Operational Outlook — Pressure Control Revenue Guidance
Q1 Pressure Control revenue guidance of ~$295–305 million with expected international contribution of ~$130–140 million; management expects modestly softer U.S. product sales per rig but stable drilling/completion activity.
API/Vietnam Ramp and Tariff Mitigation Progress
Vietnam facility ramping with API certification expected early in Q2, enabling displacement of China shipments and materially lower tariff exposure (Vietnam tariffs ~50% vs China 75% on many goods), which should improve margins as production shifts.
