Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $111 million, marking the highest quarterly performance since Q4 2015. This was driven by higher-quality backlog in manufactured products, high activity levels, favorable project mix in Offshore Projects Group (OPG), progression in Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech), and sustained ROV pricing and performance.
Revenue $743 million, a 9% increase year-over-year. This growth was attributed to higher activity levels and favorable project execution.
Operating Income $86.5 million, a 21% increase year-over-year. This was due to improved margins and operational efficiencies.
Free Cash Flow $77 million, after $24.2 million in business investments. This reflects strong cash generation capabilities.
Cash Position $506 million, reflecting strong liquidity.

Reduction in International OPG Projects: The company anticipates a significant decrease in revenue and operating income for the Offshore Projects Group (OPG) in Q4 2025 due to the absence of large-scale international intervention and installation projects that positively impacted Q4 2024. This reduction could adversely affect overall financial performance.
Lower Vessel Activity Levels in U.S. Gulf: The company expects lower vessel activity levels in the U.S. Gulf, which will contribute to reduced revenue and operating income for OPG in Q4 2025.
Non-Renewal of International Vessel Charter: A charter in the international market is expiring in Q4 2025, and the company does not intend to renew it due to seasonally lower activity. This decision may impact the company's ability to capitalize on future projects in the region.
Decreased Revenue in IMDS: The Integrity Management and Digital Solutions (IMDS) segment is forecasted to experience a significant decrease in revenue and operating income in Q4 2025 due to lower activity levels.
Government Shutdown Risk: The company's 2026 forecast assumes that the government shutdown will be resolved in 2025. If this assumption proves incorrect, it could negatively impact the execution of large-scale projects, particularly in the ADTech segment.
Customer Schedule Uncertainty in OPG: Significant opportunities exist in the OPG segment for 2026, but customer schedules have not yet been finalized. This uncertainty could lead to delays or reduced project execution.
