Nine Energy Service reported Q3 2024 revenues of $138.2 million, a net loss of $(10.1) million, and adjusted EBITDA of $14.3 million. Revenue exceeded the company's original guidance due to market share gains in the cementing division, which saw a 12% increase in revenue despite a declining rig count.
Revenue increased by approximately 4% quarter over quarter, despite a decline in the average US rig count.
Net loss improved sequentially, decreasing by approximately 28% for the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately 47% sequentially for the third quarter of 2024.
Cementing revenue increased by approximately 12% quarter over quarter, driven by market share gains.
The company anticipates Q4 revenue and profitability to be down compared to Q3 due to typical budget exhaustion, weather, holiday slow-downs, and an expected decrease in international tool sales. However, Nine remains positive on demand and the outlook for oil and natural gas, anticipating a moderate activity pick up in 2025 if commodity prices remain supportive.
