Expro cuts 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to $330M-$340M
Expro raised its 2026 Adjusted free cash flow range but reduced full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance after activities shifted into 2027.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Expro Ltd (XPRO) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $439.9 million and a net loss of $5.2 million, compared with revenue of $411.4 million and net income of $14.0 million in third-quarter 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $91.2 million, versus $94.0 million a year earlier. Adjusted free cash flow was $52.3 million; net cash provided by operations was $65.0 million and capital expenditures were $31.5 million.
For full-year 2026, Expro raised Adjusted free cash flow guidance to $140 million-$150 million from $135 million-$145 million, while lowering Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $330 million-$340 million from $355 million-$365 million. Management said certain high-margin activities shifted into 2027, reducing fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA expectations by approximately $20 million; the deferred projects remain in the order backlog for execution in 2027.
Expro repurchased approximately $9 million of shares during the quarter. Its board authorized a new $100 million share repurchase plan, effective immediately through December 31, 2027. The Enhanced Drilling acquisition closed in late July 2026, and Expro began its first operations using the technology in West Africa.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

guidance
|
|
| • | Share repurchases of approximately $9 million (0.6 million shares at an average 16.14 per share) | |
|
•
|
Liquidity at the end of the quarter stood at $260 million
|
|
| • | On October 26, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a new $100 million share repurchase plan effective immediately and valid through December 31, 2027 |
Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As expected, our third quarter results reflect a sizeable sequential increase from the second quarter. Going forward, we expect another sizeable increase with our fourth quarter results.
“The Company continues to execute across its capital allocation strategy. During the quarter we invested approximately $31 million of capex in high-return projects, maintained a strong balance sheet, closed on the Enhanced Drilling acquisition, and returned cash to shareholders. With regard to the latter, the Company has repurchased approximately $12 million or 720 thousand shares since June 30, 2026, bringing the year-to-date repurchases to approximately 3.2 million shares. Most significantly this represents over $50 million of cash returned to shareholders in 2026, exceeding the Company’s goal of returning at least one-third of free cash flow to shareholders.
“During the quarter, the Company also made a decision to combine its MENA and APAC geographic regions. The new region now covers Asia, Middle East and North Africa, and has the abbreviation of ‘AMENA’. We are continually looking for ways to optimize and enhance the efficiency of our organization. This move is a direct result of those efforts. We project the AMENA region will have more economies of scale, which will be levered across our service offerings.”
Free Cash Flow
Expro generated $65 million in net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2026. After capital expenditures of $31 million, Expro generated $34 million of free cash flow and $52 million of Adjusted free cash flow in the third quarter of 2026.
Management believes that Adjusted free cash flow better reflects the Company’s performance by excluding one-time items, in line with corporate finance principles.

Shareholder Return
Since June 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased approximately 720 thousand shares at an average price of $16.16 per share, resulting in approximately $12 million of share repurchases. On October 26, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a new $100 million share repurchase plan effective immediately and valid through December 31, 2027. Considering share repurchases year-to-date, Expro has already exceeded its annual commitment to utilize at least one-third of its annual Adjusted free cash flow generated for capital returns to shareholders. The Company will continue to deploy capital to generate the highest returns, including additional opportunistic share repurchases.
Short-Term Outlook
Expro delivered the expected step-change in operating and financial performance in the third quarter, including a near record quarterly Adjusted free cash flow. Additionally, we expect another quarter of strong Adjusted free cash flow generation in the fourth quarter and, as such we are raising our full-year 2026 Adjusted free cash flow guidance to $140 - $150 million, representing approximately 8.5% of revenue.
We project further sequential improvement in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA during the fourth quarter, supported by a production solutions project in North Africa, tubular sales in North and Latin America, and equipment sales in the Middle East and Asia. This fourth-quarter improvement will be smaller than previously anticipated, as certain high-margin activities have shifted into 2027, reducing our fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA expectations by approximately $20 million. Operators have deferred subsea activity in the U.S. Gulf following inclement weather in the late third quarter and fourth quarter, while well intervention and integrity work in Colombia has moved from the fourth quarter into 2027 following a change in the operator’s schedule. These projects remain in our order backlog for execution in 2027, with their value, profitability and associated cash flows retained. These small schedule changes affect the timing – but not the value – of our results, with the deferred activity now expected to contribute in 2027.
Our strong Adjusted free cash flow generation is a direct result of increased capital discipline and the tangible benefits of our Drive 25 initiatives, including the realignment of our geographic segments to create AMENA. These efforts, together with significantly improved collections and broader improvements in working capital management, are driving meaningful gains in cash flow.
Our outlook for Middle East operations remains unchanged for the balance of 2026 and for full-year 2027.
Looking ahead, our preliminary expectations for 2027 are for mid-teens growth in Adjusted EBITDA and more than 20% growth in Adjusted free cash flow compared with 2026. Together with our strong cash generation and the projects scheduled for execution next year, these expectations position Expro to enter 2027 from a position of strength. These initial expectations include a full year of contribution from the Enhanced Drilling acquisition. We remain excited about the growth potential of this industry-leading MPD technology and customer inquiries remain robust. To that end, the Company recently commenced its first operations utilizing the Enhanced Drilling technologies in West Africa, expanding the usage of the technology to another strong offshore region.
Financial Guidance
Our guidance takes into consideration the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the inclusion of the Enhanced Drilling acquisition, which closed late July 2026. Additionally, we have updated our annual guidance based on third quarter and projected fourth quarter results.

Segment Results
Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the third quarter of 2026 to the results for the second quarter of 2026.
North and Latin America (NLA)
Revenue for the NLA segment was $155 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $26 million, or 20%, compared to $129 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by the Enhanced Drilling acquisition, higher well construction revenue in the U.S., Brazil and Suriname, higher well flow management revenue in Caribbean and Mexico, increased subsea well access activities in the U.S., partially offset by lower well flow management revenue in the U.S.
Segment EBITDA for the NLA segment was $36 million, or 23% of revenues, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $10 million, or 37%, compared to $26 million, or 20%, of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The marginal increase in Segment EBITDA was primarily attributable to increase in revenue.
Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)
Revenue for the ESSA segment was $149 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $22 million, or 17%, compared to $127 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the Enhanced Drilling acquisition, higher well construction management activities in Ivory Coast, Norway and Azerbaijan and increased subsea well access activities in Ghana. These increases were partially offset by lower well flow management revenue in the United Kingdom and reduced subsea well access activities in the United Kingdom and Norway.
Segment EBITDA for the ESSA segment was $38 million, or 26% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $4 million, or 12%, compared to $34 million, or 27% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in Segment EBITDA, was primarily attributable to higher revenue, partially offset by a slight decrease in segment EBITDA margin due to reduced work on higher margin projects.
Asia, Middle East and North Africa (AMENA)
Revenue for the AMENA segment was $136 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $1 million, or 1%, compared to $137 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower well flow management revenue in Saudi Arabia and reduced subsea access activities in Malaysia, partially offset by higher well flow management revenue in India and higher well construction revenue in Saudi Arabia.
Segment EBITDA for the AMENA segment was $41 million, or 30% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.4%, compared to $41 million, or 30% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes these metrics provide additional information relative to the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period and to compare such performance with the performance of other publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
|
(1) |
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for (a) income tax expense, (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) severance and other expense, (d) merger and integration expense, (e) gain on disposal of assets, (f) other (income) expense, net, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) foreign exchange (gains) losses and (i) interest and finance (income) expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue. |
|
(2) |
Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for merger and integration expense, severance and other expense (income) and other adjustments. Adjusted free cash flow margin reflects adjusted free cash flow expressed as a percentage of total revenue. |
Please see the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Expro is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities.

(1) |
Expro evaluates its business segment operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin. Expro’s management believes Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin are useful operating performance measures as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating activities, corporate costs and certain non-cash items and allows Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments. |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Expro defines Segment EBITDA margin as Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a percentage. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
Corporate costs include the costs of running our corporate head office and other central functions that support the operating segments but are not attributable to a particular operating segment, including central product line management, research, engineering and development, logistics, sales and marketing, and health and safety. |
