Stefan Angeli, Chief Financial Officer of NESR, said:
“First Quarter 2026 delivered outstanding results despite the geopolitical conflict, with strong operational execution driving continued growth and profitability. Revenue reached an all-time high of $404.6 million, supported by sustained activity across our core markets and increasing contributions from our hydraulic fracturing operations, particularly in our Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah unconventional field.”
“Net income increased to $23.8 million, underscoring the growing earnings power of the business as we scale. Adjusted EBITDA of $76.7 million demonstrates the resilience of our operating model and disciplined execution despite a significantly more complex operating environment.”
Sherif Foda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NESR, commented:
“Amid an escalation in regional security tensions driven by recent conflict in the Middle East, NESR delivered a strong start to 2026, underpinned by resilient operations and continued client trust across our core markets. We maintained uninterrupted activity at scale, supported by secure supply chains, localized capabilities, and proven operational agility.”
“Recent multi-year contract awards in Kuwait and North Africa further reinforce our competitive positioning and long-term growth visibility. We reiterate our commitment to the clients by being physically by their side, and I visited the majority of our operating units across the region as we see accelerated investment potential to diversify and increase both Oil and Gas capacity in the region.”
Operational and Financial Performance
Net income for the quarter increased to $23.8 million, driven primarily by higher activity levels across the Company’s hydraulic fracturing and well testing service lines.

Cash and cash equivalents totalled $93.0 million as of March 31, 2026. Total debt decreased to $287.4 million from $310.1 million at year-end 2025.
