Innovex Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE: INVX) (“Innovex,” the “Company” or “we”) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2025.

First Quarter Highlights

• Revenue of $240 million, down 4% quarter over quarter
• Net Income of $15 million, net income margin of 6%
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $46 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin¹ of 19%
• Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $31 million
• Free Cash Flow¹ of $24 million
• Income from Operations of $22 million
• Return on Capital Employed¹ of 12%
• Closed on acquisition of SCF Machining Corporation (“SCF”)
• Completed first successful installation of VXTe^TM Self-Orientating Vertical Tree

Key Subsequent Events

• Entered into a definitive agreement to sell the legacy Dril-Quip Eldridge facility for $95 million.
• As of May 5, 2025, we have repurchased 395,234 shares of Innovex common stock at an average price of $14.94 per share

Adam Anderson, CEO commented, “We made substantial progress toward our vision to transform the legacy Dril-Quip business in the first quarter. The expected sale of the Eldridge facility will free up $95 million of capital and be a key enabler of the next step-change in margins and operational performance for the subsea business. The DWS business, our recent acquisition in Q4 2024, continued to gain market share in the quarter, driving revenue growth in the North American Land market. Although activity declined more than anticipated in Mexico during the first quarter, the team did an excellent job of responding to changing market conditions. We founded Innovex with the belief that cycles are a feature, not a bug of the business model. We have a well-worn playbook for industry cycles, and are ready to take advantage of volatility, should it persist.”

Kendal Reed, CFO continued, “Our net-cash balance sheet, soon to be bolstered by the sale of the Eldridge facility, allows us to take advantage of accretive M&A and our recently announced share buyback program. Despite activity being lower than anticipated, we were able to maintain margins, highlighting the resilience of our capital-light business model. Importantly, we converted approximately 52% of our Adjusted EBITDA into Free Cash Flow, which further strengthened the balance sheet.”

Operational & Financial Results

Kendal Reed, CFO commented, “Softness in the Mexico market resulted in weaker revenues than originally anticipated. The NAM Land business grew 17% sequentially despite the US rig count staying relatively flat. This was due primarily to the inclusion of a full quarter of the DWS acquisition—which exemplifies the type of inorganic growth we pursue: high margin, high returns, and highly accretive. We continue to see an active M&A pipeline of companies that similarly fit our qualitative and quantitative requirements—including returns on capital of 20% or greater. Aside from M&A, we now also have a competing use of capital through our recently authorized $100 million share repurchase program. As of May 5, 2025, we have repurchased approximately 395,234 shares at an average price of $14.94.”

Adam Anderson, CEO concluded, “We remain focused on identifying new synergies and new market opportunities to support organic growth. Our flexible supply chain model and “small ticket, big impact” product proposition gives us the adaptability and margin resilience to navigate a wide range of macro environments. We don’t claim to predict commodity prices or activity levels with precision—but we work hard to stay closely aligned with our customers’ evolving needs. Downcycles are an inherent part of our business; we use them to our advantage to create value for our shareholders—particularly during periods of uncertainty or low activity.”

Balance Sheet, Debt, Cash Flow & Other

Net cash provided by operating activities was $31 million and capital expenditures were $7 million (approximately 3% of revenue) for the first quarter of 2025.

Innovex generated free cash flow of $24 million during the first quarter of 2025 and ended the quarter with $68 million of cash and cash equivalents and $25 million of total debt. Innovex’s net cash balance was $43 million dollars at the end of the quarter, with $103 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

Innovex maintains conservative levels of leverage and ample liquidity to maximize strategic flexibility and to capitalize on M&A opportunities that meet our stringent quantitative and qualitative characteristics.

Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”)

Innovex’s efficient capital allocation and capital-light business model enable the Company to generate strong returns on our invested capital. Income from operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 was $49 million. Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 was 12%. We remain focused on capital efficiency, which we believe is a key driver of sustainable value creation for our stockholders.

Q2 2025 Guidance

Looking to the second quarter of 2025, Innovex expects to generate $225 - $235 million in total revenue, assuming continued softness in Mexico and slight activity declines in the NAM land market. Innovex expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $40 - $45 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, (gain)/loss on sale of assets and other expense, net, further adjusted to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of our ongoing performance or which are non-cash in nature. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the profitability of our business operations and to compare our operating performance to our competitors without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure and excluding costs that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. We track Adjusted EBITDA on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Free Cash Flow

We also utilize Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure) to evaluate the cash generated by our operations and results of operations. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful because it demonstrates the cash that was available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures. We track Free Cash Flow both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue. Free Cash Flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as we have non-discretionary expenditures, including, but not limited to, principal payments required under the terms of our credit facility, which are not deducted in calculating Free Cash Flow.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)

We utilize Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") (a non-GAAP measure) to assess the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time and to compare our capital efficiency to our competitors. We define ROCE as Income from Operations, before acquisition and integration costs and after tax (resulting in Adjusted Income from Operations, after tax) divided by average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as the combined values of debt and stockholders’ equity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and ROCE do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income and net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and ROCE may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see tables below.

Management has provided outlook regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes certain charges. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure has not been provided because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the Company's control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
