"In the first quarter of 2025, we anticipate that U.S. land activity levels will be unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2024. In Pressure Control, we expect revenues to be flat to up sequentially. In Spoolable Technologies, we anticipate revenues to be softer than the fourth quarter. Activity in the first quarter has been slow to recover from deeper than anticipated seasonal declines at the end of the fourth quarter. Similar to prior years, we expect that Spoolable Technologies revenues will increase in the seasonally stronger second quarter."

Mr. Bender concluded, "I remain immensely proud of the business our team has established, with two segments that outperformed the lower year-over-year average industry activity levels in 2024. Our focus on offering our customers differentiated, highly engineered products and services that provide safety and efficiency benefits continues to be the driver of this out performance. Although expectations for 2025 U.S. land activity levels remain soft, we have several initiatives underway that are intended to grow our customer base and mitigate potential tariff impacts, including further international sales growth, diversifying our supply chain, and introducing new products."

Segment Performance

We report two business segments, Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies. Corporate and other expenses not directly attributable to either segment are presented separately as Corporate and Other Expenses.

Pressure Control

Fourth quarter 2024 Pressure Control revenue decreased $8.4 million, or 4.5%, sequentially, as sales of wellhead and production related equipment declined primarily due to lower customer activity. Operating income was $1.7 million lower, or 3.3%, sequentially, with margins increasing 40 basis points due to the non-recurrence of reserves taken in the third quarter, partly offset by lower operating leverage. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 0.8%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins increasing 130 basis points.

Spoolable Technologies

Fourth quarter 2024 Spoolable Technologies revenues decreased $12.1 million, or 11.2%, sequentially, due to reduced customer activity levels in the seasonally slow quarter. Operating income was $7.4 million lower, or 22.4%, sequentially, with operating income margins decreasing 380 basis points due to higher input costs and reduced operating leverage. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $7.3 million lower, or 17.1%, sequentially, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins decreasing 260 basis points.

Corporate and Other Expenses

Fourth quarter 2024 Corporate and Other expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 31.8%, sequentially, primarily due to the non-recurrence of professional fees incurred during the third quarter related to growth initiatives.
