Geospace Technologies Reports Second Quarter and Six-Months 2026 Results

Key Terms

permanent reservoir monitoring technical

Permanent reservoir monitoring is the long-term use of sensors and measurement systems placed at or near an underground oil, gas or fluid reservoir to continuously track pressure, temperature, flow and small seismic changes. For investors it matters because continuous, real-time data reduces uncertainty about how much can be recovered, helps operators optimize production and costs, and lowers environmental and operational risk — like putting the asset on a continuous health monitor to inform valuation and investment decisions.

advanced metering infrastructure technical

A network of digital meters, communication systems and data platforms that lets utilities read usage remotely, detect outages, and send or receive signals about supply and demand. Think of it as the utility’s nervous system that replaces periodic manual meter readings with continuous, two-way data flow. Investors care because it changes how utilities earn and spend money: it can cut operating costs, enable new services and pricing, improve revenue accuracy, and create capital needs and cybersecurity risks that affect returns.

working capital financial

Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.

cash and cash equivalents financial

Cash and cash equivalents are the money a company has on hand plus very short-term, low-risk investments that can be quickly turned into cash, like bank deposits or government bills. Investors watch this figure because it shows a company’s immediate ability to pay bills, cover unexpected costs, and fund operations or growth — like a household’s checking account and emergency fund that keeps daily life running smoothly.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: GEOS) (“the “Company") today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the three-months ended March 31, 2026, Geospace reported revenue of $19.7 million compared to revenue of $18.0 million for the comparable year-ago quarter. Net loss for the three-months ended March 31, 2026, was $11.1 million, or $(0.86) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $9.8 million, or $(0.77) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

For the six-months ended March 31, 2026, Geospace reported revenue of $45.3 million compared to revenue of $55.2 million for the comparable year-ago period. Net loss for the six-months ended March 31, 2026 was $20.8 million, or $(1.62) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the six-months ended March 31, 2025.

Management Comments

Richard “Rich” Kelley, President and CEO of the Company said, “Our transformation into a more diversified, technology-driven solutions company is a deliberate long-term strategy, and like any meaningful evolution, it comes with both progress and challenges. While our recent results reflect some near-term pressures, they do not change our longer-term plan for diversification and growth. We have already seen encouraging signs through new contract wins and expanding opportunities beyond our traditional oil and gas markets leveraging our manufacturing expertise including early revenue with the Heartbeat Detector^® subscription model. Additionally, we are taking advantage of our contract manufacturing expertise, where we have opportunities for white label product development and manufacturing in smart water technologies. Despite lower utilization of our ocean bottom node fleet, we are seeing increased interest for the summer survey season. Additionally, we recognized our first revenue from the previously announced Permanent Reservoir Monitoring project as initial manufacturing activities began in Houston, representing an important milestone in the project’s execution.

While the conflict in the Middle East has impacted potential future business due to travel restrictions and the unknowns associated with the conflict, we have maintained positive North American interest in our ultralight land node, Pioneer™. Currently, we are providing proposals to new and existing customers for the Pioneer. To date, Pioneer is deployed in numerous basins across North America.

As part of ongoing efforts to align our cost structure with current market conditions and long-term strategic priorities, we implemented a voluntary early retirement program and a workforce reduction initiative of approximately 20%. Combined with other cost reduction efforts, we expect to generate annualized cost savings of roughly $12 million. The reductions primarily reflect actions to streamline operations, optimize resource allocation, and enhance organizational efficiency across key business segments. We anticipate recording approximately $1.3 million in total restructuring charges related to these actions during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2026. These steps are intended to strengthen operating leverage, support disciplined capital management, and position our company to respond more effectively to evolving customer demand while maintaining focus on its core growth initiatives.

We remain focused on disciplined execution, continued innovation, and delivering value to our customers and shareholders. This is not a short-term pivot. We are engaged in a sustained commitment to building a stronger, more resilient company for the future, and we are confident in our ability to navigate the road ahead.”

Smart Water Segment

The Company’s Smart Water segment generated revenue of $3.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, was $9.5 million, a decrease of 60.6%. Revenue for the six-month period was $9.5 million compared to $16.8 million from the same prior year period. The decline in revenue for the three-month period and six-month period reflects lower demand for the Company’s Hydroconn connector product line. During the prior fiscal year, customers placed orders aligned with anticipated performance resulting in elevated inventory levels into the current year. As a result, recent demand reflects inventory normalization rather than reduced long-term requirements. Based on ongoing discussions with customers, management anticipates a moderate uptick in orders in the coming quarters with new and replacement smart meter implementations. Management continues to believe the increased focus on water scarcity, persistent labor force challenges, and infrastructure modernization supports long-term demand for Advanced Metering Infrastructure solutions and represents continued growth.

Energy Solutions Segment

Second quarter revenue from the Company’s Energy Solutions segment totaled $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This compares to $2.6 million in revenue for the same period a year ago representing an increase of 272.1%. Revenue for the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, is $24.3 million, a decrease of 9.7% over the equivalent prior year period of $26.9 million. The increase in revenue for the three months was due to revenue recognized related to the PRM contract, the final deliveries of our Pioneer land wireless product to Dawson Geophysical, partially offset by lower demand for our traditional seismic products. Additionally, the prior year revenue included an adjustment reducing rental revenue resulting from concerns about the collectability of receivables from a rental customer. The decrease in revenue for the six-month period is attributed to lower utilization of our ocean bottom nodal rental fleet, offset by higher land wireless product demand and the above-mentioned revenue recognized for the PRM contract.

Intelligent Industrial Segment

Revenue from the Company’s Intelligent Industrial segment totaled $6.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. This compares with $5.9 million from the equivalent year ago period, representing an increase of 7.1%. Revenue for the six-month period ending March 31, 2026, was $11.4 million, compared to revenue of $11.5 million for the comparable year-ago period, reflecting relatively stable performance year over year. The increase in revenue for the three-month period was driven by higher demand for our industrial sensors and contract manufacturing services. This quarter also included the first revenue contribution from the Company’s Heartbeat Detector^® product. While revenue for this product was modest during the quarter interest levels and quoting activity are active internationally and domestically.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company used $16.7 million in cash and cash equivalents from operating activities. The Company generated $4.0 million of cash from investing activities including $6.9 million in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, partially offset by $3.0 million for additions to property, plant and equipment.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $13.4 million in cash and maintained an additional borrowing availability of $25.0 million under its bank credit agreement with no borrowings outstanding. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported working capital is $45.4 million which included $19.3 million of trade accounts and financing receivables.
