Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, noted “We are pleased to report solid fourth quarter and full-year financial results, reflecting the continued strength of our business and the resilience of our team. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin of
“We recently resolved outstanding variation orders related to our Congo production solutions project, allowing us to successfully close out the construction and commissioning phase of the project. Our customer also approved an adjustment to the contract rate for the multi-year operations and maintenance (O&M) phase of the project to incentivize higher through-put from the Expro-built onshore pre-treatment plant and our provision of additional services for the facility. Our customers continue to highlight their desire to optimize production from existing wells and assets and reduce their emissions, and the Congo project is an excellent example of how we enable our customers to achieve these objectives. I congratulate our team on developing and delivering a cost-competitive, differentiated solution for this important customer, and doing so within a very ambitious timeline. With 800 team members working onsite for over 22 months, we also achieved nearly 1.9 million man-hours without an HSE-related lost time incident. This is a significant milestone in which all my Expro colleagues can take pride.
“Expro continues to accelerate the development and commercialization of technologies to increase automation and drive demand for our services and solutions, which is reflected in fourth quarter contract wins totaling
“We expect to make demonstrable progress in 2025 toward our medium-term target of mid-20s Adjusted EBITDA margin and a ten percent free cash flow margin, despite near-term headwinds attributed to whitespace in deepwater activity and a full-year, flattish revenue outlook. In the evolving macro environment, we are currently focused on executing our “Drive25” operating efficiency campaign, which combined with a continued positive shift in activity mix, will support further margin expansion. Drive25 is focused on standardizing practices across geo-markets, product lines and job functions, resulting in improved profitability and better operating leverage. A positive shift in activity mix will be supported by a full-year contribution and pull-through revenue opportunities from the acquired Coretrax business as well as improved margins from the Congo production solutions project as we shift to the O&M phase.
“For 2025, we currently anticipate full-year revenues to be stable to up modestly year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to improve over 100 bps year-on-year. Like prior years, first quarter revenue is expected to be down sequentially by approximately
Notable Awards and Achievements
In the fourth quarter, Expro signed a technology agreement with Petrobras for the development of a new non-intrusive flowmeter. This technology will provide flow rates and identify flow patterns, generating online and real-time data availability for control and monitoring of slug instabilities to increase efficiency and optimize production of wells. The key requirement in this technology development is the non-intrusive aspect of the clamp-on design, as well as the absence of any radioactive source.
In the NLA region, well construction market share in the Gulf of America remains robust having secured a three-rig, five-year contract for the development of a deepwater field. Our services and solutions will include TRS and cementing solutions, including our proprietary cure technologies.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this release that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this release include statements, estimates and projections regarding the Company’s future business strategy and prospects for growth, cash flows and liquidity, financial strategy, budget, projections, guidance, operating results, environmental, social and governance goals, targets and initiatives, estimates and projections regarding the benefits of the Coretrax acquisition, and the Company’s ability to achieve the anticipated synergies as a result of the Coretrax acquisition. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct. Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. Such assumptions, risks and uncertainties include the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, the availability and terms of capital, the level of activity in the oil and gas industry, volatility of oil and gas prices, unique risks associated with offshore operations (including the ability to recover, and to the extent necessary, service and/or economically repair any equipment located on the seabed), political, economic and regulatory uncertainties in international operations, the ability to develop new technologies and products, the ability to protect intellectual property rights, the ability to employ and retain skilled and qualified workers, the level of competition in the Company’s industry, global or national health concerns, including health epidemics, the possibility of a swift and material decline in global crude oil demand and crude oil prices for an uncertain period of time, future actions of foreign oil producers such as
Such assumptions, risks and uncertainties also include the factors discussed or referenced in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be filed with the SEC, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the reports the Company files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, historical practice or otherwise, except as required by applicable law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes these metrics provide additional information relative to the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period and to compare such performance with the performance of other publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, support costs, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for (a) income tax expense, (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) severance and other expense, (d) merger and integration expense, (e) gain on disposal of assets, (f) other (income) expense, net, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) foreign exchange (gains) losses and (i) interest and finance (income) expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
Contribution is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted for indirect support costs and stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue. Contribution margin is defined as contribution divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Support costs is defined as indirect costs attributable to supporting the activities of the operating segments, research and engineering expenses and product line management costs included in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, and general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, which represent costs of running the corporate head office and other central functions, including logistics, sales and marketing and health and safety, and does not include foreign exchange gains or losses and other non-routine expenses.
The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items. The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share as net income (loss) per diluted share before merger and integration expense, severance and other expense, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on disposal of assets, adjusted for corresponding tax benefits of these items, divided by diluted weighted average common shares.
Please see the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Expro evaluates its business segment operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin. Expro’s management believes Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin are useful operating performance measures as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating activities, corporate costs and certain non-cash items and allows Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments. |
|
|
(2) |
Expro defines Segment EBITDA Margin as Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a percentage. |
|
|
(3) |
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. |
|
|
(4) |
Corporate costs include the costs of running our corporate head office and other central functions that support the operating segments but are not attributable to a particular operating segment, including central product line management, research, engineering and development, logistics, sales and marketing, and health and safety. |
