Weatherford International plc is acquiring NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. in an all-stock or mixed cash-and-stock merger where NCS will become a wholly owned subsidiary and its shares will be delisted. Merger Sub will merge into NCS, which will cease to be an independent public company.
For each NCS share, holders may elect either 0.5537 Weatherford Ordinary Shares (Share Consideration) or a Mixed Consideration of cash equal to 0.1371 times the Weatherford share price plus 0.2392 Weatherford shares, subject to a maximum aggregate cash limit and proration. If no valid election is made, holders receive the Share Consideration; no fractional Weatherford shares will be issued, with cash paid in lieu.
Based on Weatherford’s $103.64 share price on May 29, 2026, the terms imply $57.39 per NCS share assuming all Share Elections and $47.34 assuming the maximum Mixed Elections, a premium of 35.42% and 11.71%, respectively, to NCS’s $42.38 closing price that day. Former NCS stockholders are expected to own about 1.42% of Weatherford after closing. Advent-NCS Acquisition L.P., holding 56.33% of NCS voting power, has already delivered written consent approving the merger, so no further NCS stockholder vote is required.
Weatherford International reported weaker results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total revenue was $1.105 billion, down from $1.204 billion a year earlier, with services and products both declining. Operating income fell to $107 million from $237 million, reflecting lower activity, especially in Middle East/North Africa/Asia and North America, and the absence of a prior-year $70 million gain on an Argentina business sale.
Net income attributable to Weatherford was $39 million versus $136 million, and diluted EPS was $0.55 compared with $1.87. For the first six months, revenue was $2.257 billion (down from $2.397 billion) and net income attributable to Weatherford was $147 million (down from $212 million). PRI margins improved, while DRE and WCC earnings softened.
Liquidity remained solid with cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 billion and long-term debt of $1.45 billion, alongside operating cash flow of $311 million in the first half and capital expenditures of $96 million. Weatherford returned capital via $40 million in dividends and $26 million of share repurchases and outlined plans for a proposed redomestication to Delaware and the pending acquisition of NCS Multistage Holdings.
Weatherford International reported second-quarter 2026 revenues of $1,105 million, down 4% sequentially and 8% year-over-year amid disruption in the Middle East from the Iran conflict. Operating income was $107 million and net income $39 million, a 3.5% margin and 71% lower year-over-year, while adjusted EBITDA was $223 million with a 20.2% margin.
Despite softer earnings, cash generation was strong: operating cash flow reached $175 million and adjusted free cash flow $139 million, both up sharply year-over-year. The company ended June 30, 2026 with $1.1 billion in cash, net debt of $343 million, and net leverage of 0.34x, and returned $36 million to shareholders in the quarter, including a $20 million dividend. Weatherford announced the stock-and-cash acquisition of NCS Multistage, targeting at least $15 million of cost synergies, and updated its plan to redomesticate to Delaware, expected to deliver $20 to $30 million of annual cash savings from 2027, subject to 2026 approvals.
Weatherford International plc plans to acquire NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. via a merger in which NCS will become a wholly owned subsidiary and its stock will be delisted. Each NCS share will be converted at closing into either all-stock or mixed stock-and-cash consideration.
Holders may elect 0.5537 Weatherford shares per NCS share (Share Consideration) or Mixed Consideration of 0.1371 times the Weatherford closing price in cash plus 0.2392 Weatherford shares, subject to a maximum cash pool and proration. At a Weatherford price of $103.64, these terms implied $57.39 per NCS share for all-stock and $47.34 for maximum mixed elections, including a premium to NCS’s pre-announcement price. A 56.33% controlling holder has irrevocably chosen Mixed Consideration, and former NCS holders are expected to own about 1.42% of Weatherford after closing, subject to conditions and regulatory approvals.
