Adam Anderson, CEO commented, "This was an outstanding fourth quarter, in which we began to see the results of our operational transformation. While we are still in the early stages, we are encouraged by positive progress on our plans to increase margins, drive organic growth, and elevate the customer experience. Our "No-Barriers" culture, in conjunction with the execution of our proven playbook, is once again yielding positive results for both our customers and our shareholders."

Kendal Reed, CFO continued, "I am excited to share that we have met our total merger cost synergy target of $30 million in annualized savings much sooner than anticipated. We continue to identify opportunities for further margin enhancement and growth, while maintaining a strong and conservative balance sheet. Our capital-light business model has allowed us to convert a high proportion of our EBITDA to free cash flow."

Operational & Financial Results

Kendal Reed, CFO commented, "We are pleased by the resilience of both our NAM Land and International and Offshore businesses despite the slowdown of activity. We continue to grow our addressable market by increasing our scope of products and entering new geographic regions.

"Highly accretive acquisition targets, such as DWS and SCF, continue to provide high returning opportunities for reinvestment of our strong free cash flow. DWS was able to grow market share in the US Land market over the course of 2024, despite the US Land rig count decreasing by 13% compared to 2023. We remain highly selective and committed to only pursuing opportunities that fit our high-return, capital-light, small ticket/big impact business proposition while never exceeding one turn of EBITDA in leverage. While we continue to see many intriguing opportunities, our board has also authorized a $100 million share buyback program that will provide a competing use of capital to M&A as well as an additional lever to drive higher ROCE and return capital to shareholders."

Adam Anderson, CEO concluded, "We see numerous opportunities for organic growth through revenue synergies and untapped international markets. We have already begun seeing these opportunities materialize. We recently combined legacy Innovex and legacy Dril-Quip products on a well for a major IOC in the Gulf of Mexico. We have also begun to deploy DWS products in Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East, leveraging Innovex's global distribution. We anticipate our newly formed partnership with OneSubsea will allow us to grow our market share in subsea wellheads by providing a collaborative EPCI solution that will benefit our customers with increased choice. We continue to focus on improving our margins, enhancing customer experience, and unlocking value for our shareholders."

Balance Sheet, Debt, Cash Flow & Other

Net cash provided by operating activities was $36 million and capital expenditures were $8 million (approximately 3% of revenue) for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Innovex generated free cash flow of $29 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 and ended the quarter with $73 million of cash and cash equivalents and $35 million of total debt. Innovex's total debt balance at the end of the quarter represented 0.26x trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, with $78 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

Innovex believes in maintaining conservative levels of leverage and ample liquidity in order to maximize strategic flexibility and allow the Company to capitalize on M&A opportunities with strong quantitative and qualitative characteristics.

Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE")

Innovex's dedication to efficient capital allocation and prudent investment, combined with our capital light business model, enable us to generate strong returns on our invested capital. Income from operations during the fourth quarter of 2024 was $27 million. Return on Capital Employed ("ROCE") for the twelve months ended 12/31/2024 was 12%. We remain focused on capital efficiency, which we believe is a key driver of sustainable value creation for our shareholders.

Q1 2025 Guidance

Looking to the first quarter of 2025, Innovex expects to generate $245 - $255 million in total revenue, assuming a flat rig count environment in most markets, with weakness in the Mexican market and relatively low deliveries into the US Offshore market. Innovex expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $45 - $50 million in the first 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 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.
