Grounding quotes
  • “We expect Q1 to be the low point for the 2026 fiscal year, as it has been in prior fiscal years.”
  • “We expect a meaningful sequential improvement in Q2 as we exit the worst of the winter impact and currently forecast sequential improvements in all PSLs in the Rockies.”
  • “based on operator discussions and public commentary, the second half should tend to be stronger than the first half due to a number of macro tailwinds.”
  • “Northeast/Mid-Con segment again led the way with revenue up 28% year over year and adjusted EBITDA of $10.9 million, almost four times the 2025 adjusted EBITDA.”

  • Southwest segment revenue declined approximately 18% year-over-year, with an operating loss of $3.4 million, driven by reduced oil-directed activity in the Permian
  • EBITDA per average operated rig declined approximately 13% year-over-year due to a negative shift in service mix toward drilling services
