Oceaneering Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") (NYSE:OII) today reported third quarter 2025 results.

• As compared to the third quarter of 2024:
  • Revenue increased 9% to $743 million;
  • Operating income increased 21% to $86.5 million;
  • Net income increased 73% to $71.3 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $111 million.

• Shares repurchased were 440,814 for approximately $10.1 million.

Rod Larson, Oceaneering's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our team continues to deliver positive results in a dynamic market environment. In the third quarter, we generated adjusted EBITDA in excess of our guidance range and consensus estimates through solid performance across our segments. This includes the ongoing conversion of higher-margin backlog in Manufactured Products, a continued favorable project mix and steady vessel utilization in our Offshore Projects Group (OPG), and improvement in average remotely operated vehicle (ROV) revenue per day utilized in Subsea Robotics (SSR). In addition, we secured total inbound orders of $854 million, with notable contract wins in SSR, Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech), and Manufactured Products.

"Looking forward to 2026, we are optimistic about our consolidated growth opportunities to be led by ADTech, although we expect the year to unfold differently than 2025. In the first quarter, we anticipate seasonally lower activity levels in our energy-focused businesses, with activity levels increasing in the second and third quarters. Accordingly, we are initiating full-year 2026 consolidated EBITDA guidance in the range of $390 million to $440 million."

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP TO GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures (as defined under certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission). We have included adjusted net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per Share (EPS), each of which excludes the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. As a result, these amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful measures for investors to review because they provide consistent measures of the underlying results of our ongoing business. Furthermore, our management uses these measures as measures of the performance of our operations. We have also included disclosures of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA Margins, 2024 consolidated adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, and 2025 consolidated EBITDA and free cash flow estimates, as well as the following by segment: EBITDA, EBITDA margins, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margins. We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins and related information by segment exclude the effects of certain specified items, as set forth in the tables that follow. Due to the forward-looking nature of EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025, for the full year of 2025, and for the full year of 2026, we cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary line items for the reconciliations to net income and, accordingly, have excluded such line items in the reconciliation. EBITDA and EBITDA margins, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, and related information by segment are each non-GAAP financial measures. We define free cash flow as cash flow provided by operating activities less organic capital expenditures (i.e., purchases of property and equipment other than those in business acquisitions). We have included these disclosures in this press release because EBITDA, EBITDA margins, and free cash flow are widely used by investors for valuation purposes and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of other companies in our industry, and the adjusted amounts thereof provide more consistent measures than the unadjusted amounts. Furthermore, our management uses these measures for purposes of evaluating our financial performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, EBITDA margins, and free cash flow (and the adjusted amounts thereof) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures that other companies report. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to and not as substitutes for our reported operating results, cash flows, or any other measure prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. The tables that follow provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
