Nine Energy Service, Inc. ("Nine" or the "Company") (NYSE:NINE) reported revenues of $88.4 million, net income of $107.9 million, or $2.65 per diluted share and $2.65 per basic share, and adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million for the predecessor period. Nine reported revenues of $41.6 million, net loss of $(1.3) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share and $(0.09) per basic share, and adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million for the successor period.

"The first quarter was an unusual and complex period from a financial reporting perspective," said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nine Energy Service. "During the quarter, we entered and successfully emerged from Chapter 11 and implemented fresh start accounting effective March 5, resulting in several required reporting changes, including the revaluation of our assets. In addition, net income and adjusted EBITDA for our predecessor period was negatively impacted by a $5.5 million non‑cash inventory write‑down. Importantly, we believe these items are now largely behind us, and we expect improved financial results beginning in the second quarter. Following this process, the Company has been transformed in meaningful ways, and I am confident that Nine is now in a stronger financial position as we begin our next chapter of growth."

"Shifting to the market, the U.S. rig count remained stable throughout the quarter; however, weather‑related disruptions led to operational inefficiencies early in the quarter and negatively impacted revenue and earnings during our predecessor period, most notably within our Wireline division. As conditions normalized, operating efficiency improved, leading to stronger monthly run rates as the quarter progressed. Pricing across our service lines remained largely stable compared to exit rates at the end of 2025."

"The macro environment continues to be highly dynamic. Recent improvement in oil prices has increased optimism for U.S. land activity in the second half of the year relative to expectations at the end of 2025. Should commodity prices remain at current levels in conjunction with a more constructive outlook, incremental rig additions and the completion of DUCs are possible. Thus far in the second quarter, customer activity plans remain largely unchanged, and overall U.S. rig counts have been flat."

"Natural gas prices were supportive, averaging $4.71 in the first quarter compared to $3.73 in the fourth quarter of 2025. Natural gas‑weighted basins, including the Haynesville, continue to represent an attractive opportunity for Nine. We are focused on ensuring the organization is well positioned to capture incremental activity in these basins. We recently opened a new wireline facility in the Haynesville and look to leverage our established customer relationships and long track record of success to help drive profitable market share gains."

"Looking ahead to the second quarter, we expect continued operational normalization and efficiency gains as well as normalized financial reporting. As a result, we anticipate sequential improvement in revenue and earnings compared to the predecessor and successor periods."

"I believe Nine is well positioned operationally with financial flexibility, which will allow us to execute on our strategic priorities while navigating a dynamic market environment. We remain focused on disciplined execution and profitable growth and we are confident in the long‑term value potential of Nine."

¹"Predecessor period" is defined as January 1, 2026 through March 5, 2026, and "successor period" is defined as March 6, 2026 through March 31, 2026. On March 5, 2026 (the "Plan Effective Date"), the Company emerged from bankruptcy, and in connection therewith, the Company applied fresh start accounting on such date. The application of fresh start accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes, which is referred to as the "Successor." The Company prior to the application of fresh start account is referred to as the "Predecessor." With the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair. The Plan Effective Date fair values of the Successor's assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor. Accordingly, the Predecessor and Successor financial information are not comparable. For additional information on the Company's application of fresh start accounting, see Note 4 – Fresh Start Accounting in Item 1 of Part I of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026.

Operating Results

During the predecessor period, the Company reported revenues of $88.4 million, gross profit of $2.0 million and adjusted gross profit^B of $7.8 million. During the successor period, the Company reported revenues of $41.6 million, gross profit of $3.8 million and adjusted gross profit^B of $6.0 million.

During the predecessor period, the Company reported general and administrative ("G&A") expense of $13.1 million and depreciation and amortization expense ("D&A") of $5.9 million. During the successor period, the Company reported G&A expense of $4.6 million and D&A expense of $2.3 million.

The income tax provision recorded for the predecessor period was approximately $0.1 million. The income tax benefit recorded for the successor period was approximately $0.1 million. The income tax provision/(benefit) recorded for both periods was primarily attributed to state and non-U.S. income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

During the predecessor period, the Company reported net cash used in operating activities of $10.0 million. During the successor period, the Company reported net cash used in operating activities of $2.4 million. Capital expenditures for the predecessor period totaled $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the successor period. The Company's full-year 2026 capital expenditures guidance is $20 to $30 million.

As of March 31, 2026, Nine's cash and cash equivalents were $11.2 million, and the Company had $35.7 million of availability under its revolving credit facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $46.9 million as of March 31, 2026. On March 31, 2026, the Company had $90.4 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility. On April 28, 2026, the Company borrowed an additional $5.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

^AAdjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (which is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization) further adjusted for (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) loss or gain on revaluation of contingent liabilities, (iv) loss or gain on the extinguishment of debt, (v) loss or gain on the sale of subsidiaries, (vi) restructuring charges, (vii) stock-based compensation and cash award expense, (viii) loss or gain on sale of property and equipment, and (ix) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items which we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business, such as legal expenses and settlement costs related to litigation outside the ordinary course of business. Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows us and them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure and helps identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of impairments, acquisitions and dispositions and costs that are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business. The Company has not provided projected net income or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, the closest GAAP financial measure. Management cannot predict with a reasonable degree of accuracy certain of the components of net income, such as stock-based compensation expense and/or cash award expense, which is affected by factors including future personnel needs, turnover and retention needs and the future price of our common stock. As such, projected net income, and a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, are not available without unreasonable efforts.

^BAdjusted gross profit (loss) is defined as revenues less cost of revenues excluding depreciation and amortization. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit (loss) because we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization, which represent non-cash expenses. Management believes adjusted gross profit (loss) provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operation and helps management evaluate our operating performance by eliminating the impact of depreciation and amortization, which we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.
