Cactus, Inc. (NYSE: WHD) grows revenue but books Q1 loss from JV accretion
Filing Impact
Filing Sentiment
Form Type
10-Q
Cactus, Inc. reported first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $388.3 million, up from $280.3 million a year earlier, driven mainly by the newly acquired Cactus International joint venture in the Pressure Control segment. Segment revenue reached $300.2 million in Pressure Control and $89.9 million in Spoolable Technologies.
Net income attributable to Cactus Inc. was $32.9 million, down from $44.2 million, but an $81.5 million non‑cash accretion on redeemable non‑controlling interest produced a net loss to common shareholders of $48.6 million, or $(0.70) per diluted share versus $0.64 last year. The Cactus International acquisition carried estimated consideration of $362.0 million and added $45.3 million of goodwill and $228.8 million of intangibles. Operating cash flow rose to $128.3 million, funding the acquisition and capital spending, as cash and equivalents ended at $291.6 million with no bank debt outstanding.
Positive
- Revenue growth and cash generation: Q1 2026 revenue rose to $388.3 million from $280.3 million, and operating cash flow increased to $128.3 million, helping fund the Cactus International acquisition while ending the quarter with $291.6 million of cash and no bank debt.
Negative
- Earnings and ownership dilution pressure: Despite $40.2 million of net income, an $81.5 million accretion of redeemable non‑controlling interest drove a net loss to common shareholders of $48.6 million, or $(0.70) per share, and introduced sizable mezzanine equity tied to the new joint venture.
Insights
Strong top-line growth from a large JV deal, but GAAP earnings are pressured by acquisition accounting.
Cactus lifted Q1 2026 revenue to $388.3 million, up 38.5% year over year, mainly from the Cactus International joint venture, where it acquired 65% for estimated consideration of $362.0 million. Pressure Control revenue jumped to $300.2 million, while Spoolable Technologies was roughly flat.
Operating income fell to $49.5 million from $68.6 million as purchase‑accounting amortization, higher SG&A, tariffs and integration costs compressed margins. A non‑cash accretion of redeemable non‑controlling interest of $81.5 million turned underlying net income of $40.2 million into a GAAP loss to common shareholders.
Cash generation remained solid: operating cash flow was $128.3 million, supporting the JV close and $9.7 million of capex while leaving $291.6 million of cash and no bank debt at March 31 2026. Available revolver capacity of about $223.7 million plus an undrawn $100 million term facility provide additional flexibility as the company absorbs JV integration, tariff headwinds and Middle East operational disruptions.

Key Terms

6 terms
Mezzanine equity financial
"Redeemable non-controlling interest is classified within Mezzanine Equity."
Mezzanine equity is a layer of financing that sits between bank loans and full ownership, combining elements of borrowed money and equity. It often gives lenders higher potential returns in exchange for taking more risk, sometimes with the option to convert into ownership or receive extra payments; think of it as a middle seat that pays more because it’s less secure than front-row debt. Investors watch it because it affects a company’s debt risk, potential dilution of ownership, and expected returns.
Tax Receivable Agreement financial
"In connection with our initial public offering we entered into the TRA."
A contract in which a company agrees to pay a specified party (often former owners after a spinoff or IPO) a share of future tax savings the company realizes. Think of it like agreeing to share a future tax refund with someone who helped create the conditions for that refund. For investors it matters because those payments reduce the cash the company can use for dividends, buybacks, or reinvestment, and therefore affect valuation and returns.
Pressure Control financial
"The Company currently operates in two business segments: Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies."
Spoolable Technologies financial
"The Spoolable Technologies segment designs, manufactures, and sells spoolable pipe."
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"The purchase price will be based on a value using a multiple of six times its TTM Adjusted EBITDA."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Pillar Two financial
"The OECD has introduced a framework (Pillar Two) that provides for a new global minimum tax."
Pillar Two is an international tax framework that sets a global minimum tax rate for large multinational companies and requires extra payments when profits booked in low-tax locations fall below that floor. For investors, it matters because it raises the likely tax bill, reduces after-tax earnings and cash available for dividends or reinvestment, and can change company valuations—think of it as a tax “price floor” that limits how much a firm can lower its effective tax rate.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. When considering forward‑looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Part I, Item 1A.

Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and other cautionary statements contained herein and in our Exchange Act filings. Forward‑looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in our 2025 Annual Report or other Exchange Act filings occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data, or as otherwise indicated)
1.Preparation of Interim Financial Statements and Other Items
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Cactus Companies, LLC (“Cactus Companies”). Cactus Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus Companies (“CC Units”). Cactus Inc. is the sole managing member of Cactus Companies and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cactus Companies and conducts its business through Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries. As a result, Cactus Inc. consolidates the financial results of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of CC Units not owned by Cactus Inc., which reduces net income attributable to holders of Cactus Inc.’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”). Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references to “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On February 28, 2023, Cactus Inc. through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the FlexSteel business through a merger (the “Merger”) with HighRidge Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HighRidge”). On February 27, 2023, in order to facilitate the Merger with HighRidge, an internal reorganization was completed in which Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing ownership interests in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the operating subsidiary of Cactus Inc. (the “CC Reorganization”). The purpose of the Merger was to effect the acquisition of the operations of FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HighRidge prior to the Merger and was converted into a limited liability company, contributed from HighRidge to Cactus Companies as part of the CC Reorganization and is now named FlexSteel Holdings, LLC (“FlexSteel”).
The Company currently operates in two business segments: Pressure Control, which includes the legacy Cactus Wellhead business and the Cactus International business, and Spoolable Technologies.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Cactus International Joint Venture with Baker Hughes
On January 1, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Baker Hughes Holdings LLC ("Baker Hughes Holdings") and certain of its affiliates sold 65 % of the limited liability company membership interests ("Membership Interests") in Baker Hughes Pressure Control LLC (the "Joint Venture" or "Cactus International"), which holds Baker Hughes Company's former surface pressure control business (the "Acquired Business") to Cactus UK Holding Limited (the “Cactus Member”), a subsidiary of Cactus Companies, for a cash purchase price of $344.5 million, subject to certain working capital, cash, debt, capital expenditure and other customary adjustments (the "Baker Hughes Transaction").
For so long as Baker Hughes Pressure Control Holdings LLC (the "Baker Member") continues to hold Membership Interests, the Cactus Member shall cause the Joint Venture to operate its business generally in the ordinary course. Certain actions of the Board of Directors of the Joint Venture require the affirmative vote of at least one director appointed by the Baker Member. Baker Hughes Company ("Baker Hughes Company") and the Company have specific non-compete restrictions with respect to surface pressure control applications in certain countries, and the members of the Joint Venture are subject to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Membership Interests.
From and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Baker Member has the right to sell to either the Joint Venture or the Cactus Member, and the Cactus Member has the right to purchase or cause the Joint Venture to purchase, all of the Membership Interests held directly or indirectly by Baker Hughes Company. The purchase price will be based on a value of the
6
Joint Venture using a multiple of six times its trailing twelve month ("TTM") Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and calculated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Joint Venture, entered into on the Closing Date by the Joint Venture, the Cactus Member, the Baker Member, Cactus Inc. and Baker Hughes Company (the "Joint Venture LLC Agreement")), subject to a maximum valuation of $660.0 million, and if the Cactus Member elects to purchase or cause the Joint Venture to purchase the Membership Interests, a minimum valuation of $530.0 million applies. In connection with the Baker Hughes Transaction, Cactus Companies is obligated to pay Baker Hughes Holdings $10.0 million subject to contractual adjustments on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and $14.5 million at such time as Baker Hughes Company ceases to be a member of the Joint Venture.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
In November 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to invest in a Vietnam forging manufacturing facility for an ownership percentage of 40 %. In January 2025, the Company provided an initial capital contribution of $6.0 million. In late 2025 the parties decided not to proceed with the development of the facility and are in the process of liquidating the assets and returning the capital to the respective parties. The investment in a company in which Cactus does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has significant influence, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of the after-tax earnings of the equity method investment was recorded in field service and other revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts that are not available for general corporate use because they are subject to contractual or legal restrictions. Consistent with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents restricted cash separately from cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets and includes restricted cash in the reconciliation of beginning and ending cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of December 31, 2025 the Company had $371.0 million of restricted cash held in an escrow account in connection with the then-pending acquisition of Baker Hughes Pressure Control LP. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, these funds were required to be placed in escrow and were restricted from use for any purpose other than funding the acquisition consideration at closing. The escrowed funds were released on January 1, 2026, the acquisition closing date, at which point the restriction lapsed and the cash was released to certain affiliates of Baker Hughes Company.
The restricted cash balance is classified as a current asset, as the restriction was scheduled to be released within one year of the balance sheet date.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Use of Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from available data, or is not otherwise capable of being readily calculated based on accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard would require public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This standard update modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software, eliminating references to project stages and instead requiring that projects meet completion probability criteria before costs can be capitalized. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments but does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

As noted above, on June 2, 2025, Cactus Companies, a subsidiary of Cactus, Inc., entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Baker Hughes Holdings and Baker Hughes Pressure Control LLC, each of which at such time was an indirect subsidiary of Baker Hughes Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Baker Hughes Company’s surface pressure control business.
Prior to the Closing Date, Baker Hughes Holdings effected certain restructuring transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement (the “Restructuring Transactions”), as a result the Joint Venture and certain of its subsidiaries came to own the Business Assets and Business Liabilities (each as defined in the Framework Agreement). As part of the Restructuring Transactions, the Joint Venture converted from a Texas limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company.
On the Closing Date, Baker Hughes Holdings and certain of its affiliates sold 65 % of the Membership Interests to the Cactus Member, a subsidiary of Cactus Companies, for a cash purchase price of $344.5 million (on a debt-free, and, except as noted below, cash-free basis), subject to certain working capital, cash, debt, capital expenditure and other customary adjustments after the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price”). The Joint Venture was to retain minimum cash of $70.0 million (the “Minimum Cash Amount”). In order to compensate Baker Hughes Holdings for the Minimum Cash Amount, Cactus Companies (i) paid Baker Hughes Holdings 65 % of the Minimum Cash Amount, or $45.5 million, on the Closing Date, and (ii) will pay Baker Hughes Holdings 35 % of the Minimum Cash Amount, or $24.5 million, as follows: $10.0 million, subject to contractual adjustments on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and $14.5 million at such time as Baker Hughes Company ceases to be a member, directly or indirectly, of the Joint Venture.
The acquisition was completed to expand the Company’s surface pressure control operational capabilities and broaden its geographic footprint. The acquired business complements the Company’s existing pressure control offerings through additional product capabilities, manufacturing capacity, geographic markets and customer relationships.
The acquisition is being accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Cactus being treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. The transaction was treated as a purchase of partnership units for United States federal income tax purposes. In connection with the acquisition, we incurred approximately $5.8 million of transaction costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 required to effect the transaction and incurred an additional $0.5 million in costs related to the reporting of and accounting for the transaction. These fees primarily related to legal, accounting and consulting fees and are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the statements of income.

Purchase Price Consideration
The estimated purchase price consideration is $362.0 million and is summarized as follows:
| Purchase Price Consideration | ||||||||
Initial cash payment (1)(2) | $ | |||||||
Minimum cash amount at closing | ||||||||
Working capital and other | ( | |||||||
Deferred Payment (3) | ||||||||
| Fair value of consideration | $ | |||||||
(1) The cash consideration was funded utilizing cash on hand.
(2) The total cash consideration transferred is subject to potential working capital and capital expenditure adjustments.
(3) Represents the estimated fair value of our deferred consideration payment of $10.0 million, subject to contractual adjustments, discounted at present value and payable to the Seller on the first anniversary of the Transaction Date.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as the acquisition date:
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | |||||||

Total consideration to be transferred (G) = (C) - (D) - (E) + (F) | $ | |||||||
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values. Estimated fair values were determined by management, based in part on an independent valuation performed by third-party valuation specialists. The valuation methods used to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships, which values the relationships on a standalone basis by estimating the excess earnings that are driven by owning the customer relationship via a framework that deducts direct and indirect costs. Backlog is a representation of what a buyer would pay to assume the open customer orders on hand. Several significant assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including revenues from equipment sales and services, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates, attrition rates and working capital changes. The cash flow forecasts are based solely on facts and circumstances that existed or were reasonably knowable as of the acquisition date. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives.
9
The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accounts payable and most other current assets and liabilities, other than inventory, were approximately equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The gross contractual amounts receivable acquired totaled $242.9 million, of which management estimates $2.6 million will be uncollectible. Acquired inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. The preliminary fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, less costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The preliminary fair value of work-in-progress was calculated as the estimated selling price, less costs to complete, less costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance on completion and selling costs. The preliminary fair value of raw materials was determined based on replacement cost which approximates historical carrying value. The preliminary fair value of identifiable fixed assets was calculated using a combination of valuation approaches, but primarily consisted of the cost approach which adjusts estimates of replacement cost for the age, condition and utility of the associated assets. The acquisition includes a deferred payment component and a put option and call option for the remaining equity interest. The net put/call was valued at $146.7 million using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework. The fair value of the remaining noncontrolling interest of 35 % after the acquisition was determined using the implied enterprise value based on the purchase price. Due to the redeemable nature of the arrangement, both the fair value of the option and the redeemable NCI are classified within Mezzanine Equity.
Other noncontrolling interests acquired were valued at $19.6 million using the noncontrolling interest of the acquired subsidiary’s fair value measured using discounted cash flows under the income approach.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired were the acquisition of an assembled workforce, market expansion opportunities and other benefits that we believe will result from the combined operations. Goodwill was further increased by the deferred tax liability associated with the fair market value in excess of the tax basis acquired. The goodwill associated with this transaction has been allocated to our Pressure Control segment.
Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values including, but not limited to, certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, contractual relationships, intangible assets, certain working capital items, deferred income taxes and residual goodwill. These changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.
From the Closing Date through March 31, 2026, Cactus International contributed revenue of $126.9 million and a net loss of $0.5 million to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations.
Intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships, developed technologies and backlog. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.

Pro forma financial information
The pro forma financial information below represents the combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2025. There is no pro forma information included for the three months ended March 31, 2026, because the Company’s actual financial results for such period fully reflect the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes, where applicable, adjustments for additional amortization expense related to the fair value step-up of intangible assets, additional inventory fair value step-up expense, additional depreciation expense associated with adjusting property and equipment to fair value, changes to align accounting policies and associated tax-related impacts of adjustments. These pro forma adjustments are based on available information as of the date hereof and upon assumptions that we believe are reasonable to reflect the impact of the acquisition on our historical financial information on a supplemental pro forma basis. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is neither indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period presented nor indicative of future operating results.

Subsequent measurement of Mezzanine Equity
Although the Mezzanine Equity is not currently redeemable, redemption is considered probable; therefore, the Company elected Method 2 under ASC 480 and remeasures the Mezzanine Equity to its estimated redemption value each reporting period, with subsequent changes reflected directly in retained earnings. The redemption price is determined in accordance with the terms of the agreement and is calculated by applying a specified multiple to EBITDA. For additional information, see “Note 14 – Earnings per Share”.
3.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Our customers are predominantly oil and gas exploration and production companies located in the U.S. and the Middle East. Our receivables are short-term in nature and typically due in 30 to 60 days after the billing for the product that has been delivered or the services that have been provided to the customer. We typically do not accrue interest on delinquent receivables. Accounts receivable includes both amounts billed and currently due from customers, as well as unbilled amounts resulting from accrued revenue associated with products delivered and services performed for which billings have not yet been submitted to the customers. Total unbilled revenue included in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $170.8 million and $39.4 million, respectively.
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the amount of billed receivables we believe to be at risk of loss. In our determination of the allowance for credit losses, we pool receivables with similar risk characteristics based on customer size, credit ratings, payment history, bankruptcy status and other factors known to us, and then apply an expected credit loss percentage. The expected credit loss percentage is determined using historical loss data adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for credit losses. The following is a roll-forward of our allowance for credit losses.

4.Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is generally determined using standard cost, which approximates average cost. Costs include an application of related material, direct labor, duties, tariffs, freight and overhead costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Reserves are made for excess and obsolete items based on a range of factors, including age, usage and technological or market changes that may impact demand for those products. Inventories consist of the following:

6.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but we perform an annual goodwill impairment test on December 31 and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The change in carrying value of goodwill allocated to our reportable segments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was as follows:

7.Debt
We had no 1.3 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined below). We were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined below) as of March 31, 2026.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility was amended in December 2025 (the “Amended ABL Credit Facility”). The amendment established a delayed‑draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility. The amendment provides for a Term Loan Facility of up to the lesser of $100.0 million and 85 % of the appraised value of eligible machinery and equipment, which may be drawn in up to two advances during the six months following December 1, 2025. The Term Loan Facility was undrawn as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 . Any amounts drawn will mature three years from the initial funding date and bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at ABR or SOFR‑based rates plus applicable margins. The unused portion of the Term Loan Facility is subject to a 0.05 % monthly unused line fee.
The December 2025 amendment also extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility to December 1, 2030. The Amended ABL Credit Facility requires compliance with a maximum leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 for so long as the Term Loan Facility is outstanding or available. Until the Term Loan Facility is repaid or terminated without being drawn, the collateral for the ABL Credit Facility was expanded to include certain equipment and intellectual property of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries that are guarantors.
The Amended ABL Credit Facility provides up to $225.0 million in revolving commitments, of which $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Amended ABL Credit Facility, Cactus Companies may request additional revolving commitments in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, for a total of up to $275.0 million in revolving commitments. The maximum amount that Cactus Companies may borrow under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility bear interest at Cactus Companies’ option at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined therein) (“ABR”), or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined therein) (“Term Benchmark”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Letters of credit issued under the Amended ABL Credit Facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Term Benchmark borrowings, plus a fronting fee. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings ranges from 0.0 % to 0.5 % per annum for revolving loan ABR borrowings and 1.25 % to 1.75 % per annum for revolving loan Term Benchmark borrowings and, in each case, is based on the average quarterly availability of the revolving loan commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The unused portion of revolving commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25 % per annum. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, although there were no 1.00 %, plus the base rate of one, three or six month SOFR plus 0.10
8.Revenue
The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for fixed consideration, or in the case of rentals, for a fixed charge per day while the equipment is in use by the customer, plus repair costs. Product sales generally do not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or providing services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer which reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to provide agreed upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We do not assess whether promised goods or services are
14
performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We typically do not incur any material costs of obtaining contracts.
We do not adjust the amount of consideration per the contract for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will generally be one year or less, which is in substantially all cases. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of invoicing. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We treat shipping and handling associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for the associated shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.
We disaggregate revenue into three categories: product revenues, rental revenues and field service and other revenues. Upon completing the Acquisition, we have worldwide sales, with the majority of our revenues being generated in the U.S. and Middle East, with smaller contributions to sales being generated in Australia, Canada, and other international markets. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by category:

Rental revenue | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Field service and other revenue | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total revenues | $ | % | $ | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was $537.5 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 72 %, 82 % and 89 % of the total remaining performance obligations within 1 , 2 , and 3 years, respectively, and the remaining thereafter. Contract modifications could affect both the timing to complete as well as the amount to be received as the Company fulfills the related remaining performance obligations.
9.Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”)
In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2018, we entered into the TRA which generally provides for payment by Cactus Inc. to certain direct and indirect owners of Cactus LLC (after the CC Reorganization, Cactus Companies) of 85 % of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Cactus Inc. actually realizes, or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. Cactus Inc. retains the benefit of the remaining 15 % of these net cash savings.
The TRA liability is calculated by determining the tax basis subject to the TRA (“tax basis”) and applying a blended tax rate to the basis differences and calculating the resulting iterative impact. The blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the TRA liability are recognized in the statements of income as a component of other expense, net. As of March 31, 2026, the total liability from the TRA was $264.8 million with $21.3 million reflected in current liabilities based on the expected timing of our next payments. The payments under the TRA will not be conditional on a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either Cactus Companies or Cactus Inc.
The term of the TRA commenced upon completion of our IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA. If we elect to terminate the TRA early (or it is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), our obligations under the TRA would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the TRA, and such payment is expected to be substantial. The calculation of anticipated future payments is based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumptions that (i) we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the TRA and (ii) any CC Units (other than those held by Cactus Inc.) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination
15
date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.
10.Equity
As of March 31, 2026, Cactus Inc. owned 86.6 % of Cactus Companies as compared to 86.3 % of Cactus Companies as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, Cactus Inc. had outstanding 69.4 million shares of Class A common stock (representing 86.6 % of the total voting power) and 10.8 million shares of Class B common stock (representing 13.4 % of the total voting power).
Redemptions of CC Units
As part of the CC Reorganization in connection with the acquisition of FlexSteel, Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing limited liability company interests of Cactus LLC (“CW Units”) in exchange for an equal number of CC Units issued to each of the previous owners of CW Units other than Cactus Inc. In connection with the CC Reorganization, Cactus Inc. and the owners of CC Units entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus Companies (the “Cactus Companies LLC Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, holders of CC Units are entitled to redeem their CC Units, which results in additional Class A common stock outstanding. Since our IPO in February 2018, an aggregate of 49.8 million CC Units (including CW Units prior to the CC Reorganization) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 0.2 million CC Units together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, were redeemed in exchange for Class A common stock in accordance with the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement. There were no redemptions of CC units during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Dividends
Aggregate cash dividends of $0.14 and $0.13 per share of Class A common stock were declared during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, totaling $9.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Cash dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $10.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Dividends accrue on unvested equity-based awards on the date of record and are paid upon vesting. Dividends are not paid to our Class B common stockholders; however, a corresponding distribution up to the same amount per share as our Class A common stockholders is paid to the owners of CC Units other than Cactus Inc. for any dividends declared on our Class A common stock. See further discussion of the distributions below under “Member Distributions.”
Share Repurchase Program
On June 6, 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not repurchase shares of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.
Member Distributions
Distributions made by Cactus Companies are generally required to be made pro rata among all its members. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Cactus Companies distributed $9.6 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend payment and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $1.5 million over the same period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Cactus Companies distributed $30.4 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $5.1 million.
16
Limitation of Members’ Liability
Under the terms of the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, the members of Cactus Companies are not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Cactus Companies. Profits and losses are allocated to members as defined in the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.
11.Commitments and Contingencies
Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment related disputes.
A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on our consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending lawsuits or claims against us, other than as discussed below, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. With respect to the litigation described below, if there was an adverse outcome, there could be a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view may change in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any dispute or claim.
On August 20, 2021, Cactus filed a complaint against Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No.: 4:21-cv-02720-ASH, seeking a declaratory judgment that Cactus frac operations do not infringe certain Cameron patents and that such patents are invalid. In response to that action, Cameron has asserted infringement of certain of those patents by Cactus’ SafeLink® frac flow system and is seeking past royalties and other damages related to the alleged infringement. The parties have been unable to reach an amicable settlement. The jury trial, originally scheduled on June 9, 2025, was delayed, and no new trial date has been set. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims.
12.Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs), observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these accounts.

13.Segment Reporting
We operate in two
Our reporting segments are:
•Pressure Control – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of wellhead and pressure control equipment utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of oil and gas wells.
•Spoolable Technologies – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of onshore spoolable pipe technologies utilized for production, gathering and takeaway transportation of oil, gas or other liquids.

14.Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during the period by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during that period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.
We use the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding CC Units and corresponding shares of outstanding Class B common stock. We use the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock-based compensation awards assuming that the proceeds will be used to purchase shares of Class A common stock. For our unvested performance stock units, we first apply the criteria for contingently issuable shares before determining the potential dilutive effect using the treasury stock method.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

(1)Diluted earnings per share does not reflect any incremental shares related to redeemable equity, as such instruments are not participating securities and do not give rise to potentially dilutive common shares. However, the accretion of redeemable equity to its redemption value is treated as a deemed dividend and reduces net income available to common shareholders in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, the impact of redeemable equity on earnings per share is limited to this income allocation adjustment, with no effect on the weighted-average shares outstanding.

15.Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities include deferred income primarily on long-term contracts to construct technically complex equipment, long-term product maintenance or extended warranty arrangements and progress collections, which reflects billings in excess of revenue.

Executive Summary
Cactus is an equipment solutions provider primarily for onshore oil and gas markets. Cactus was founded in 2011 by a management group that previously operated two of the largest wellhead providers at the time. Since its formation, Cactus has rapidly grown to be a leading provider of wellhead solutions to the U.S. onshore market. With the acquisition of Cactus International, Cactus is now a global wellhead supplier.
On February 28, 2023, Cactus acquired FlexSteel, which grew from its founding in 2003 to its current status as a leading provider of spoolable pipe technologies, primarily to the U.S. onshore market. We believe this acquisition enhanced our position as a premier manufacturer and provider of highly engineered equipment to the exploration and production ("E&P") industry and has provided opportunities for meaningful growth. FlexSteel’s spoolable technology products complement Cactus’ pressure control equipment, and the combined business allows for exposure to customers operations from production trees to transportation of oil, gas and other liquids, as well as to additional customers operating in the midstream area.
Demand for our products and services depends primarily upon oil and gas industry activity levels, including the number of active drilling rigs, the number of wells being drilled, the number of wells being completed, and the volume of newly producing wells, among other factors.
Revenues
Our revenues are derived from three sources: products, rentals, and field service and other. Product revenues are derived from the sale of wellhead systems, production trees and spoolable pipe and fittings. Rental revenues are derived from the rental of equipment used during the completion process, the repair of such equipment, and the rental of equipment or tools used to install wellhead equipment or spoolable pipe. Field service and other revenues are earned when we provide installation and other field services for both product sales and equipment rental.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we derived 77% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 4% of total revenues from rental and 19% of total revenues from field service and other. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we derived 74% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 10% of total revenues from rental and 16% of total revenues from field service and other. We have worldwide operations, including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China, with more limited operations in Australia and Canada, as well as sales in other international markets.
We operate in two business segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment.
Pressure Control
The Pressure Control segment designs, manufactures, sells and rents a range of wellhead and pressure control equipment under the Cactus Wellhead brand. Products are sold and rented principally for onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas wells, and are utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of our customers’ wells. In addition, we provide field services for all of our products and rental items to assist with the installation, maintenance and handling of the equipment.
We operate through service centers in the United States, which are strategically located in the key oil and gas producing regions. These service centers support our field services and provide equipment assembly and repair services. We also provide rental and service operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Australia. Pressure Control manufacturing and production facilities are located in Bossier City, Louisiana, Suzhou, China, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Hai Duong,Vietnam.
16
Demand for our product sales in the Pressure Control segment is driven primarily by the number of new wells drilled, as each new well requires a wellhead and, after the completion phase, a production tree. Demand for our rental items is driven primarily by well completions as we rent frac trees to oil and gas operators to assist in hydraulic fracturing. Rental demand is also driven to a lesser extent by drilling activity as we rent tools used in the installation of wellheads. Field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales and rentals, as items sold or rented almost always have an associated service component.
Spoolable Technologies
The Spoolable Technologies segment designs, manufactures, and sells spoolable pipe and associated end fittings under the FlexSteel brand. Our customers use these products primarily as production, gathering, and takeaway pipelines to transport oil, gas or other liquids. In addition, we also provide field services and rental items to assist our customers with the installation of these products. We support our field service operations through service centers and pipe yards located in oil and gas regions throughout the United States and Western Canada. Our manufacturing facility is located in Baytown, Texas.
Demand for our product sales in the Spoolable Technologies segment is driven primarily by the number of wells being placed into production after the completions phase, as customers use our spoolable pipe and associated fittings to bring wells more rapidly onto production. Rental and field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales, as items sold usually have an associated rental and service component.
Recent Developments and Trends

The Company’s operating results continue to be impacted by conditions in the oil and gas industry, which are driven by global commodity prices, drilling and completion activity levels, and supply and demand dynamics.
Average WTI oil prices increased approximately 22% in the first quarter of 2026, as the outbreak of the conflict in Iran and associated supply disruption drove rapid price increases in March. WTI began the year on January 2 at $57.21 and closed March 31 at $102.86, an increase of approximately 80%. Brent oil prices similarly increased approximately 27% on average in the first quarter from the fourth quarter. Oil price levels remain elevated as geopolitical tensions continue in the Middle East, and the continued export of oil through the Strait of Hormuz remains uncertain. Average natural gas prices increased approximately 26% in the first quarter, largely due to a winter storm in the U.S. leading to elevated prices and low storage levels in January. Storage levels have since recovered to near five-year average levels and prices have moderated.
In the first quarter of 2026, average U.S. land drilling activity levels were relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, as customers generally continued stable drilling programs despite elevated commodity prices reflecting E&P capital discipline. International land drilling levels increased approximately 1% from the fourth quarter of 2025, led by increased activity in the Middle East and Latin America, offset by declines in Asia.

U.S. Trade Policies
Over the course of 2025 and 2026, the Trump administration implemented and announced a number of new tariffs, including new Section 232 tariffs of 50% on imports of steel and certain products made from steel from most countries outside of the U.S. Threats and actual implementation of tariffs continue to cause market and geopolitical uncertainty. Tariff announcements and implementation have caused global equity, bond, and currency markets to experience heightened levels of volatility as market participants incorporate potential effects of supply chain disruption, inflation, and consumer demand into pricing models. In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs were unlawful, resulting in the implementation of alternative tariffs under Section 122 and further market uncertainty. As a result of the Supreme Court ruling, we have filed a claim for certain tariff refunds and are monitoring the situation closely, but there is no guarantee that any claim will be honored. The refunds being pursued represent a limited component of the overall tariff impact incurred by the Company as the most material tariff incurred by the Company under Section 232 remains unchanged.
We are incurring, and expect to continue to incur, elevated tariff expenses on our goods imported from Vietnam and China, and experience generally higher steel input costs at our Bossier City manufacturing facility as a result of the broad Section 232 tariffs. Both tariffs and higher steel input costs have impacted profitability, although the impact has been partially mitigated by cost reduction and recovery efforts.
Conflict in Iran
The outbreak of the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran in February has significantly disrupted global oil supply. Our operations in the region have been adversely impacted, and we continue to prioritize the safety of personnel in the region. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant disruptions to our operations, our customers’ drilling activities, and our supply chain along with increased freight costs due to the conflict, and particularly the impediment of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Continued conflict in the region may lead to reduced revenues and profits and increased costs from our business in the region.
Pillar Two Framework
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has introduced a framework (“Pillar Two”) that provides for a new, global minimum tax of at least 15% on the income of large multinational corporations arising in each jurisdiction in which they operate. Pillar Two is being implemented on a country-by-country basis, and many countries have adopted rules in this regard. The United States has raised concerns regarding Pillar Two and has set out a proposed “side-by-side” solution under which U.S. parented groups (such as the Company) would be exempted from certain minimum taxes under Pillar Two in recognition of the existing U.S. minimum tax rules to which they are subject. On June 28, 2025, the Group of Seven issued a statement indicating that they agree that a side-by-side solution could preserve gains made by jurisdictions in tackling base erosion and profit shifting and provide clarity and stability in the international tax landscape. However, none of the OECD member states that have adopted Pillar Two have enacted rules necessary to implement the side-by-side solution. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of both Pillar Two and the proposed side-by-side solution and estimates the impacts to income tax expense to be immaterial.

Consolidated Results of Operations
The following discussions relating to significant line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items.
We have two operating segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment. Our results of operations are evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of our operating segments is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income (in addition to other measures), which is defined as income before taxes and before interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net and corporate and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $300.2 million, an increase of $121.7 million, or 68.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily driven by international contributions from the newly acquired Cactus International joint venture, partially offset by a decline in domestic rental revenue. Pressure Control operating income of $38.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 decreased $10.1 million, or 20.7% from the fourth quarter of 2025, as increased operating income from Cactus International was more than offset by the impacts of purchase accounting.
Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $89.9 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 6.8% from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher domestic and international customer activity levels. Total operating income for Spoolable Technologies for the first quarter of 2026 was $23.6 million, compared to operating income of $20.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.6 million, or 12.6%, from the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher volume and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
19
Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue represents the elimination of inter-segment sales from our Pressure Control segment to our Spoolable Technologies segment. Corporate and other expenses include costs associated with executive management and other administrative functions not directly attributable to our reporting segment. Corporate and other expenses for the first quarter of 2026 was $12.7 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 30.0% from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher transaction and integration expenses. The expenses in both quarters include similar levels of expenses for professional fees associated with the Baker Hughes Transaction.
Interest income, net. Interest income, net was $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 resulting from lower levels of cash invested during the first quarter resulting from the completion of the Acquisition. The interest income, net is primarily comprised of interest income earned on the invested cash balance.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net had a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily related to the revaluation of the liability related to the tax receivable agreement as a result of changes to the forecasted state tax rate.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $9.5 million compared to $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Cactus Inc. is only subject to federal and state income tax on its share of income from Cactus Companies. Income allocated to the non-controlling interest is only taxable to the non-controlling interest.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue was $300.2 million for the first three months of 2026, an increase of $109.9 million, or 57.8%, from the first three months of 2025, primarily driven by international contributions from the newly acquired Cactus International joint venture. Operating income of $38.6 million in the first three months of 2026 decreased $15.7 million, or 28.9%, from the first three months of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher operating income from Cactus
20
International, which was more than offset by the impacts of purchase accounting and increased tariff-related costs affecting product margins compared to prior year.
Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the first three months of 2026 was $89.9 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 2.9%, from the first three months of 2025, primarily due to reduced customer activity levels in the U.S. Total operating income was $23.6 million in the first three months of 2026, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.3%, compared to operating income of $23.9 million in the first three months of 2025. Operating income for the first three months of 2026 reflected the impact of the lower volume.
Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue represents the elimination of inter-segment sales from our Pressure Control segment to our Spoolable Technologies segment. Corporate and other expenses include costs associated with executive management and other administrative functions not directly attributable to our reporting segment. Corporate and other expenses for the first three months of 2026 was $12.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 32.0% from the first three months of 2025. The increase was largely attributable to professional fees and integration expenses associated with the Baker Hughes Transaction.
Interest income, net. Interest income, net for the first three months of 2026 was $0.2 million, compared to $2.3 million for the first three months of 2025. The decrease was due to lower interest income earned on lower amounts of cash invested during the current period.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the first three months of 2026 was $9.5 million compared to $16.8 million for the first three months of 2025. The decrease in income tax expense from the first three months of 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in operating income during the first three months of 2026, and an income tax benefit from the Cactus International acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2026, we had $291.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $97.8 million of cash held for certain restructuring activities related to the Cactus International acquisition. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand, cash flows generated by operating activities, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may also have the ability to issue additional equity and debt if needed. As of March 31, 2026, we had $223.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Facility with no outstanding borrowings, in addition to $100.0 million available under our Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 7 in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) and $1.3 million in letters of credit outstanding. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Amended ABL Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, we have indemnified Baker Hughes for $27.4 million of contingent liabilities associated with letters of credit in support of Cactus International operations, which do not reduce the borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Facility.
In June 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. As of March 31, 2026, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.
We expect that our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility will be sufficient for the next 12 months to meet our material cash requirements, including working capital requirements, debt service obligations, anticipated capital expenditures, lease obligations, repurchases of shares of our Class A common stock, expected TRA liability payments, anticipated tax liabilities and dividends to holders of our Class A common stock as well as pro rata cash distributions to holders of CC Units other than Cactus Inc.
We currently estimate our net capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2026 will range from $40 to $50 million. In the Pressure Control segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to U.S. service center enhancements, rental fleet investments, and international expansion, and less material investments in low-cost supply chain. In the Spoolable Technologies segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to manufacturing plant enhancements and additional deployment equipment used for product installation.
21
Our ability to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements, including cash requirements to fund income tax liabilities and the TRA liability at Cactus Inc., along with associated distributions to holders of CC Units relating to their ownership of Cactus Companies, depends on our future operating performance, which is affected by, and subject to, prevailing economic conditions, market conditions in the E&P industry, availability and cost of raw materials, and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will not be able to predict or control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate, and competitive pressures. If necessary, we would likely choose to further reduce our spending on capital expenditures and operating expenses to ensure we operate within the cash flow generated from our operations.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| (in thousands) | |||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 128,271 | $ | 41,545 | |||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (309,989) | (15,451) | |||||||||
Net cash used in financing activities | (21,529) | (21,791) | |||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities was $128.3 million and $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased primarily due to an increase in working capital, largely driven by our recent acquisition of Cactus International.
Net cash used in investing activities was $310.0 million and $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to cash paid to acquire Cactus International for $371.0 million less $70.0 million in cash acquired from the acquisition.
Net cash used in financing activities was $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily related to a decrease in distributions to members of Cactus Companies of approximately $3.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in share repurchases of $2.4 million as well as an increase in the payment of Class A share dividends of $1.0 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our 2025 Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 at the reasonable assurance level.
As disclosed in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we acquired Cactus International on January 1, 2026 and accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. Cactus International’s total revenues constituted approximately 33% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Cactus International’s total assets constituted approximately 37% of our total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2026. We excluded Cactus International’s disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by its internal control over financial reporting from the scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC staff’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for one year following the acquisition. We are in the process of implementing financial reporting controls and procedures at Cactus International as part of our ongoing integration activities.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment related disputes. For information concerning existing legal proceedings as of March 31, 2026, see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our 2025 Annual Report, and in our other filings with the SEC, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2025 Annual Report and our other SEC filings, except as follows:
The current war between Iran and the United States and Israel will likely continue to adversely impact our operations in the Middle East.
Cactus International, a 65% owned subsidiary of the Company, has plants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia that are subject to continued interruptions in operations due to the war between Iran, and United States and Israel. The war has also impeded traffic through the Strait of Hormuz impacting our supply chain in the region and impacting the operations and concerns for the safety of our employees and of our customers in the Middle East. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant delays and decreased order activities from our customers because of this disruption. The delays in orders potentially impacts not only our operations through Cactus International but also international sales by our Spoolable Technologies segment. There is no way to predict when this conflict will be resolved and when operations can be restored to the conditions that existed before the war. Until such conditions are restored, we expect that our operations in the Middle East and our financial results will be adversely impacted.
The current war between Iran and the United States and Israel may impact or delay our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from Cactus International.
The disruptions resulting from the war between Iran and the United States and Israel may impact our ability to integrate the Cactus International business with the Company’s business. As a result, our ability to achieve expected revenue, margin and synergy targets related to the transaction may also be adversely impacted. Continued disruptions could result in failure to achieve some or all the benefits expected to result from Cactus International and, if such benefits are delayed or not achieved, our business could be harmed. We cannot estimate the potential impact on our operations and financial results given the uncertain and unpredictable nature of the current situation.

FAQ
How did Cactus, Inc. (WHD) perform financially in Q1 2026?
Cactus generated $388.3 million in revenue and $40.2 million in net income. However, an $81.5 million non‑cash accretion on redeemable non‑controlling interest led to a net loss to common shareholders of $48.6 million, or $(0.70) per diluted share.
What impact did the Cactus International acquisition have on WHD’s Q1 2026 results?
The Cactus International joint venture added substantial scale, contributing $126.9 million of revenue and a small net loss of $0.5 million. The deal’s estimated consideration of $362.0 million created $45.3 million of goodwill and $228.8 million of identifiable intangible assets.
Why did Cactus, Inc. report a loss per share in Q1 2026 despite positive net income?
Although net income was $40.2 million, Cactus recorded $81.5 million of accretion on redeemable non‑controlling interest related to the Cactus International structure. This non‑cash item reduced earnings available to common holders, resulting in $(0.70) diluted loss per Class A share.
What were WHD’s segment results for Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies?
In Q1 2026, Pressure Control revenue was $300.2 million with segment profit of $38.6 million. Spoolable Technologies posted $89.9 million in revenue and $23.6 million in segment profit, modestly lower than the prior year on softer U.S. activity.
What does the Q1 2026 10-Q say about Cactus, Inc.’s liquidity and debt position?
Cactus ended Q1 2026 with $291.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt. It had about $223.7 million of unused revolver capacity, a fully undrawn $100 million term loan facility, and $1.3 million of letters of credit outstanding.
How are macro factors like tariffs and Middle East conflict affecting WHD?
The company reports higher steel input costs and tariffs on imports from Vietnam and China, pressuring margins despite some cost recovery. It also notes operational disruptions and higher freight costs tied to conflict in Iran and constraints around the Strait of Hormuz affecting regional activity.
