Revenue generation is driven by commodity prices, rig and well activity levels, well depth and complexity, completion volumes, reservoir depletion, regulatory environments, and workover activity, with customers increasingly focused on disciplined capital expenditures, emissions reduction, energy transition participation, and safety enhancement.
【Constructive H2 2026 momentum】 Management's outlook for the second half of 2026 and into 2027 is described as "the most constructive it has been since late 2023," driven by expected multi-year acceleration of capacity and resilience programs across the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Iraq, Kuwait) and re-acceleration of FID activity in North American, East African, and Eastern Mediterranean gas projects that had been previously deferred. While the first half of 2026 is expected to experience headwinds from geopolitical conflicts, trade policy impacts, and commodity price volatility, the company anticipates noticeable second half growth and expects 2026 international activity levels to be flat to slightly down for the full year, with potential for second half 2026 international revenues to be up year-on-year and leading to growth in 2027. North America spending is expected to decline mid- to high single digits in 2026 as operators maintain tight budgets, though management is taking proactive measures to strengthen margins through cost control, footprint optimization, and differentiation initiatives. The company remains focused on achieving its 50% through-cycle free cash flow conversion target through relentless focus on working capital management, EBITDA margin improvement, and structural tax optimization.
