Good morning and welcome to InnoVEX's second quarter 2026 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode and there will be a question and answer opportunity at the end of this call. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. I will now turn the call over to Eric Wells, Chief of Staff. Eric, please go ahead.

speaker
Eric Wells
Chief of Staff

Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us. An updated investor presentation has been posted under the Investors tab on the company's website, along with the earnings press release. This call is being recorded and a replay will be made available on the company's website following the call. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that InnoVEX's comments may include forward-looking statements and discuss non-GAAP financial measures. It should be noted that a variety of factors could cause InnoVEX's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. Please refer to the second quarter financial and operational results announcement that we released yesterday for a discussion of forward-looking statements and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures. Speaking on the call today from InnoVEX, we have Adam Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, and Kendal Reed, Chief Financial Officer. I will now turn the call over to Adam Anderson.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. I want to begin by thanking our employees across the organization for another quarter of strong execution. Our teams continue to focus on delivering a delightful customer experience, advancing customer-centric innovation, and leveraging the InnoVEX platform to grow our business organically. That spirit of collaboration is at the heart of our No Barriers culture and continues to shape how we operate every day. On today's call, I'll begin with our second quarter performance and then discuss the recent acquisition of TCO Group and the opportunities we see for its technologies within the InnoVEX platform. I'll also highlight several important operational and commercial developments across our sub-sea and international businesses before turning the call over to Kendal for a more detailed review of our financial results, capital allocation priorities, and outlook for the third quarter. Starting with performance, we delivered an excellent second quarter. Revenue totaled $245 million and adjusted EBITDA totaled $48 million, both at the high end of our guidance ranges and representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20%. These results were supported by improving activity levels across several international markets and growing commercial momentum within our subsea business. On July 1st, we completed the acquisition of TCO Group and are excited to welcome the TCO team to Innovex. TCO has pioneered laminated glass plugs that create reliable gas-tight downhole barriers. These plugs can subsequently be opened without intervention, reducing cost, time, and risk for customers. This novel technology is applicable across both onshore and offshore wells, including completion, well suspension, and casing or liner deployment. As a reminder, we apply stringent qualitative and quantitative criteria when evaluating acquisitions. TCO fits these criteria exceptionally well. It's differentiated, largely consumable technologies fit with our big impact, small ticket business proposition. Like our core business, TCO's products require limited sustaining capital. Additionally, TCO strengthens our presence in Norway and the UAE, two markets where we see meaningful long-term opportunity. TCO is a growth business. We believe InnoVEX's diversified portfolio, global reach, and established customer relationships can accelerate TCO technologies across new customers, applications, and geographies, driving value for our shareholders. Importantly, we see potential for future innovation leveraging our suite of technologies. However, this potential upside is not reflected in the purchase price. The financial characteristics of the transaction are compelling, something Kendal will discuss in more detail later in the call. We're also encouraged by the progress of drilling innovative solutions following its acquisition last quarter. The business continues to mature within the InnoVEX platform, and we are already seeing evidence of its growth potential. One recent example, a major North Sea operator, one that DIS would not have been able to access on its own, identified its technology as a critical solution for a specific field development. This is how our acquisition playbook is designed to work, by adding differentiated technologies and leveraging the InnoVEX platform to accelerate their growth. Turning back to the quarter, we saw meaningful progress in our subsea businesses. We secured an additional $20 million subsea tension riser package for an operator in Malaysia with follow-on wellhead orders anticipated. We also successfully completed the first XPAC trial with a major international operator in Asia Pacific following a multi-year qualification effort. XPAC is a high-performance expandable liner hanger system which helps improve well geometry and simplify architecture in technically demanding applications. Together with several important awards secured over the past few months, these developments reinforce the growing momentum we're seeing across our subsea business. While improving offshore markets have certainly provided a welcome tailwind, we believe our no-barriers commercial mindset, optimized manufacturing footprint, and strategic alliance with One Subsea have strengthened our ability to compete effectively and profitably for complex offshore work. Innovation continues to drive organic growth. During the quarter, we completed the first installation of our Argo Latch subsea release plug in Brazil. The system enabled the customer to complete cementing in a single step, eliminating the need for a sub-mudline system and second cement job, saving time and cost. The Argo Latch was deployed in the same operation as our 18-inch by 22-inch XPAC system, combining capabilities from both Legacy InnoVex and Legacy DrillQuip. This successful deployment demonstrates how collaboration across the combined organization can create integrated solutions that simplify well construction and improve execution for customers. Outside of Subsea, we're seeing additional avenues for growth across several growing international markets by deploying our technologies and capabilities with both new and existing customers. Activity in Mexico increased substantially during the quarter, with completion activity through the second quarter already exceeding the total number of jobs performed during all of 2025. Across Latin America, we continue to build stronger customer relationships and see additional opportunities developing. For example, we're seeing increased customer engagement and quotation activity in Venezuela. While we have not yet recognized meaningful revenue in Venezuela, we believe that Avex is well positioned to participate as customer activity develops. Importantly, our capital life business model does not require significant fixed assets in the country. Our Canadian wellhead team also completed its first surface wellhead delivery to Mexico while continuing to support commercial developments in other international markets. Mexico represents a large and growing market for surface wellhead technology, making this first delivery an important commercial milestone for our wellhead strategy. These developments demonstrate how we can use product expertise developed in one region to create opportunities across the broader InnoVEX platform. Our Middle East performance also improved during the quarter. In Saudi Arabia, we gained market share in expandable liner hanger technologies and continue to grow our presence in unconventional applications. We also secured our first direct contract through our InnoVEX Saudi entity, further strengthening our customer relationships and positioning us well for future opportunities in the region. Stepping back, I believe the second quarter demonstrates that InnoVEX is entering a new phase. The integration, manufacturing optimization, and cultural transformation of the past two years are increasingly translating into commercial wins, differentiated technologies, and expanding market position across our global platform. Our priorities remain unchanged. We will continue to invest in differentiated technologies, improve customer experience, and allocate capital with discipline. We believe that approach positions Inovex to deliver sustainable, profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders. I'll now turn the call over to Kendal to review our financial results and outlook in more detail.

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Thanks, Adam, and good morning, everyone. I'd now like to review our second quarter 2026 financial results. For the second quarter of 2026, revenue totaled $245 million, up 2% sequentially from the first quarter of 2026 and up 9% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $48 million, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% compared to 21% in Q1 2026 and Q2 2025. We were pleased to achieve the high end of our guidance ranges for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We're encouraged by the trajectory of our margins as the benefits of our operating model and commercial execution continue to build. NAM land revenue for the second quarter was $131 million, down 4% sequentially from $137 million in the first quarter. We are pleased with the resilience of our NAM land revenue relative to underlying North American market conditions, which included the impact of seasonally lower Q2 activity in Canada. We believe our differentiated technology portfolio and customer-focused business model will continue to support long-term market share gains in North America. International and offshore revenue during the second quarter of 2026 was $113 million, an increase of 11% sequentially, driven by continued strength across our international portfolio and partially offset by normal project timing within our offshore business. Within Subsea, we continue to secure meaningful customer awards that provide increasing visibility. Although project timing will create some quarter to quarter variability, we expect these awards to support attractive growth over the next one to two years. We remain encouraged by activity levels across several key international markets and continue to see a healthy pipeline of opportunities heading into the second half of the year. Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, was approximately $161 million during the quarter. Gross margins remained healthy, reflecting the strength of our product portfolio, disciplined pricing, and continued operational execution. Selling general and administrative expenses for the quarter decreased by approximately $3 million sequentially to $39 million. As we fully complete the drill clip integration and continue to grow the business, we expect to leverage our existing platform to reduce SG&A as a percentage of revenue and further strengthen margins while maintaining disciplined cost control across the organization. Free cash flow for the quarter was $30 million, representing 63% of adjusted EBITDA. Our ability to consistently generate strong cash conversion remains a key differentiator of the InnoVEX business model and reflects our capital-light operating structure, disciplined working capital management, and limited capital expenditure requirements. Capital expenditures in the second quarter totaled $7 million, representing approximately 2.7% of revenue, in line with our historical target of 2-3% of revenue. We ended the quarter with approximately $222 million of cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt. On July 1st, we completed the acquisition of TCO for $95 million, consisting of $65 million of cash and $30 million of NMX common stock. We believe the transaction represents an attractive use of excess balance sheet cash, allowing us to deploy a portion of our excess cash into a high quality cash generative business while preserving significant financial flexibility. As Adam discussed, TCO is an excellent example of our acquisition strategy in action. We remain focused on acquiring product and technology-driven businesses that complement our portfolio, can benefit from the InnoVEX platform, and are available at reasonable valuations. TCO fits that playbook exceptionally well through its differentiated, largely consumable technologies, attractive margins, strong cash generation, and limited capital requirements. Our M&A pipeline remains robust and includes a mix of smaller bolt-on acquisitions as well as larger strategic transactions. We will remain disciplined and pursue opportunities that strengthen our portfolio, leverage the InnoVEX platform, and meet our stringent qualitative and quantitative return criteria. This disciplined approach remains central to how we intend to create long-term shareholder value. Return on capital employed for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026 was 12%. ROCE is reduced by our net balance sheet cash position. We remain focused on achieving a long-term target of high teens ROCE via margin expansion, high return M&A, and shareholder returns. Looking ahead to the third quarter of 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $260 to $270 million and adjusted EBITDA of $51 to $57 million. As we move through the second half of the year, We will remain focused on accelerating the integration and growth opportunities associated with TCO, capturing operational efficiencies across the business, investing in customer-centered innovation, and maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Our strong balance sheet cash and free cash flow generation position us well to continue creating long-term shareholder value across a range of market conditions. With that, I'll turn the call back to Adam for closing remarks before we open the line for questions.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Thanks Kendal. We are pleased with our second quarter performance. We delivered revenue and adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance ranges, generated strong free cash flow, and continued to build commercial momentum across our sub-sea and international businesses. With the acquisition of TCO, we've added differentiated, high margin, and capitalized technologies to the InnoVEX platform. I want to reiterate that InnoVEX is entering a new phase. We now have a stronger and more efficient customer-centric operating platform. A broader portfolio of differentiated technologies and greater opportunities to extend those technologies across customers, applications, and geographies. Our focus is on converting these advantages into consistent, profitable growth while maintaining our discipline around execution and capital allocation. Thank you again to our employees, customers, and shareholders for your continued trust and support. Operator, we can now open the line for questions.

speaker
Don Crist
Analyst, Johnson Rice

Good morning, guys. Thanks for letting me in here on a busy morning. I wanted to start on the Canadian wellheads. You know, obviously that is a dominant position up there, but really doesn't have a big position in the U.S. But you sold some into Mexico. Can you give us kind of the game plan? How do you see that progressing over the next couple quarters or years? Are you planning to make a big push into the U.S. to try to unseat the major competitor in the U.S. right now?

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Hey, morning, Don. Thanks for the question. Yeah, so that, like you said, really strong position we have in Canada. in the wellhead space. We've got a great team up there, definitely one of the market leaders in a pretty consolidated space up there. I think one of the things we're really excited about is the thermal space in Canada. We're still one of the smaller of two players, probably the smaller player up there, but consistently growing market share. And I'm pretty excited about our trajectory up there. That's a really nice market. I think the second place where we're seeing traction is these international opportunities. Mexico is a really good one for a variety of technical reasons. And then we are really well established there. And we're selling these to the service companies that we've had good experience with where we can create value in that relationship. And then I think there's a myriad of other international places that we've had some success and then a big pipeline of opportunities. And so I would say the international land We are evaluating. We've done a little bit of work in U.S. land. It's still relatively small, so I wouldn't bake in a ton of growth there, but that is certainly a pretty attractive market where we've got a really strong distribution network, know all the major customers well. So that's certainly an area that we'll be looking at over the next couple of years, but probably a little bit slower to evolve than those first two that I just mentioned.

speaker
Don Crist
Analyst, Johnson Rice

Okay, and I wanted to ask about offshore. Obviously, you had some strong comments and we're seeing some very strong comments from many other people this earnings cycle on the offshore side of the business. But can you classify, has customer behavior changed or is there just more conviction today versus, you know, kicking the tires in the past? Any kind of comments around the offshore space that gives you more confidence as we move towards the end of 26 and into 27.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so we've seen really strong offshore pipeline, I think, in a couple of different areas. Some of these Asia projects that we've won, so we've announced three big Asia projects that in total are somewhere in the $60 to $80 million worth of revenue, which will probably start coming meaningfully in next year. Those are areas where We were kind of the incumbent as a result of the legacy drill crew relationship with these folks. So those are projects that got sanctioned and approved in the last six months, let's say. Some of that tied to just a desire to get more energy security in local markets. And then we currently have a pretty strong pipeline of things that are pretty close to converting to awards over the next six months, both in the Western Hemisphere, like in the US Gulf, as well as some of these big international awards which we expect to get announced over the next six months. So I think across the board we see both a really robust pipeline of activity and then I'm really pleased with the commercial momentum of both our ability to convert some of these legacy contracts and get really nice awards but then really I think a couple of things we'll announce over the next six months will demonstrate our ability with the really great talent and technology we inherited from the drill clip deal, combined with just being a little bit more aggressive in a number of different ways commercially, is going to allow us to take some market share in that space. So really excited with how that offshore space is progressing for us.

speaker
Don Crist
Analyst, Johnson Rice

I appreciate that. If I could sneak in one for Kendal, we saw a couple other companies get tariff-free funds. Anything on the playbook for y'all to get anything back from a perspective? I didn't see anything in your release.

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, thanks, Dawn. So it's a good question. I mean, as a reminder, the tariff that's really more meaningful to our business is the 232 tariff around raw materials steel, which was not included in that kind of refund program. But we have applied for and received some, I would say, modest tariff refunds that we'll see coming in the door in Q3 here. So we'll get something back, but it's immaterial in the grand scheme of things for our business.

speaker
Don Crist
Analyst, Johnson Rice

Okay, I appreciate the call. I'll turn it back. Thanks, guys. Good quarter. Thanks, Dawn.

Your next question comes from the line of Keith Beckman with Pickering Energy Partners. Keith, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

speaker
Keith Beckman
Analyst, Pickering Energy Partners

Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. I just wanted to get a sense of maybe quarter over quarter, kind of what's baked into your three Q guidance, trying to get a sense on Middle East here as well as TCO contribution for a full quarter of that. And just how you're thinking about third quarter and potentially back half of the year here with the conflict or something.

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, good question. So I think in terms of what we have baked into the Q3 guide, maybe just to start with the TCO piece. So really pleased to get that deal closed on July 1st. So we'll get a full quarter of impact from the acquisition there. And as a reminder, with that business being nearly 100% focused on international and offshore markets, it'll have this same variability kind of around delivery and project timing that the rest of our international offshore business has. So with that in mind, what we're baking into the Q3 guide is 15 million of revenue from TCO and about 3 million of EBITDA. And I think, you know, what that We're going to see some nice growth in that TCO business as we go into future quarters. We're obviously not guiding out that far, but I think the Q3 guide is nice and conservative based on the orders that we can see and the delivery time we've got scheduled today. So that implies around $250 million of revenue from the legacy InnoVex business. You kind of touched on Middle East there. We're seeing things relatively flat in Q3 to Q2 in the Middle East region. So again, hopefully some nice long-term opportunities if the conflict clears up and we can see some activity growth in the region there. And really a lot of what's driving that quarter-over-quarter growth in the legacy Inovex business, let's say, is some of these So the opportunities that Adam talked about are just starting to kick in. That's going to be more of a 27 than a 26 driver, but we're starting to see some nice green shoots there. And then obviously from a North America land perspective, we'll have, you know, breakup in Canada won't recurse. We'll see some nice Q2 to Q3 growth and then starting to see some nice growth in the U.S. land business as well, driven by kind of some building rig count activity. So I think across the board, relatively positive outlook for Q3 and then building into Q4 next year.

speaker
Keith Beckman
Analyst, Pickering Energy Partners

So that's very helpful. And my second question was just a little bit around, I believe you guys are probably fully out of Eldridge, but any update there and then the bigger question really More broadly, I mean, what's the next biggest thing to attack here to kind of continue improving margins and maybe just talk about, you know, the different improvements that you could see in increasing margins from here? Thanks.

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, definitely. So as we mentioned, we completed the move out of Eldridge in Q2. So we're excited about that. The consolidation of the supply chain, I think, will enable us to not only be more efficient, drive better margins, but be more responsive to customers, improve our delivery, all those types of things. And then in terms of where we go from here, we're really pleased to see some nice consistency over the last couple of quarters in that 20% EBITDA range. and, you know, building as we go into Q3, we kind of talked about being consistently north of 20% post the exit of Eldridge. I think where we go from here, you know, one thing we didn't hit on it specifically, but that did weigh on Q2 and we expect to weigh on Q3 is the increased logistics costs hitting the Middle East around this conflict that's going on. We had around $1.5 million of increased freight expense, you know, related to air freight or just additional costs of moving things around that's been a lot more difficult. So I think you get some resolution there, even without revenue growth. That's going to drive a bit of margin improvement. And then what's really going to help us are the incrementals as you see these big subsea awards converting to revenue, as we see kind of the, let's say, TCO getting back to that more average quarter that they've had over the last couple of years, which we fully expect. and then the two places we've talked about that are, you know, one is improving, kind of slowly building up that low base from last year is Mexico. That's a very good market for us to regenerate great margins with some differentiated technology. And then kind of Saudi being the last piece of that where we're, we've seen some nice growth there in Q2, but expect that to be a market that has a lot of running room for us as well at high incremental margins. Those are the pieces we're looking at. I think there's some more trimming we can do around the edges on the cost side to try and continue to be more efficient. But really, from here, it's getting some resolution on what's going on in the Middle East and then driving incrementals on a lot of this new work we have coming through the pipeline.

speaker
Keith Beckman
Analyst, Pickering Energy Partners

Awesome. That's really helpful. I will turn it back. Congrats, guys. Thanks, Keith.

Your next question comes from the line of Scott Gruber with Citigroup. Scott, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

speaker
Scott Gruber
Analyst, Citigroup

Yes, good morning.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Morning, Scott.

speaker
Scott Gruber
Analyst, Citigroup

Morning. You know, with your TCO acquisition, obviously you continue to execute on your M&A strategy. But I'm curious, you know, you guys kind of do the look back analysis and kind of measure the kind of pace of growth within the base business and I know you've been adding pieces over time but can you provide some more call on how you see that base kind of growing year on year relative to your key end markets just to kind of peel back the onion a bit for us?

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, so I guess maybe give a little bit more General Answer, rather than just kind of focusing on TCO. But yeah, I think if you were to proform it in all the various acquisitions that we've done and kind of look at how we're thinking about, let's say, first three quarters of this year versus first three quarters of last year, I think we're up slightly year over year in the face of the market broadly being down a bit. Obviously, U.S. land activity just starting to turn around a bit in Q2, but I think if we look at kind of the broader world picture, activity has been slowing down over the last couple of years and our business to be kind of slightly up year over year over that time period gives us some good confidence. We're continuing to grow share across the board, not just kind of filling in with acquisitions, if that kind of hits on your question.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, and I would just add to that. It's a good question because we ask ourselves the same thing. How do we measure our organic improvement? And we've had a strong crack record over the last decade of and so on. And so we've been growing market share on the back of our approach to the market as we characterize it this no barriers culture of really trying to lean into the understanding what our customers' problems, issues are, whether that's technical or commercial and finding a way to be a little bit more nimble and better than the competitors at solving those problems has led us to pretty consistently over the last decade growing pretty meaningful market share to the point where we're number one, two, three in just about everything we do in North in spots internationally in the same area, the same kind of ranking, and then looking at growing that to being the top player in what we do and everything internationally over time as well.

speaker
Scott Gruber
Analyst, Citigroup

That's helpful. And then there's a couple of mentions of Mexico. Obviously, you guys saw your first Wal-Mart delivery there and brought a pickup in activity. Just maybe some more color for us on What you're seeing out of that country as it kind of comes out of the doldrums and you make some progress with additional product sales into the country and maybe some comments just on the kind of broader Latin market as well.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so Mexico has been a really good market both for legacy Inovex as well as drill clip prior to the combination and mostly because they grow some very technically demanding wells, in some ways the most demanding wells in the world. in Mexico in terms of depth and pressure and temperature. And in many of those areas, there's some technologies, liner hangers, some float equipment technology that is really we have the best fit for purpose technology for that market. So we've got really strong market share and can create value for ourselves in that somewhat what can be a challenging market in some ways. Similarly, on the wellhead side, we've got a really nice portfolio of technology that came to us through the drill-quip combination and a really strong team in Mexico to help pull that in. And it's a little bit less of a higher barrier to entry market than, say, the U.S. land market. So that's why we're kind of focusing on that, starting to see some success and have a couple other things we're working on that are pretty exciting. Yeah, I think that was a big, Mexico was a big headwind for us last year, starting to get better this year. And we'll see where it goes from here. But I think in terms of our technology and commercial acumen in that market, that's something that's really a positive for us.

speaker
Scott Gruber
Analyst, Citigroup

That's great. I appreciate the color. I'll turn it back. Thank you. Thanks.

The next question comes from the line of Rahul Kakar with Jefferies. Rahul, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

speaker
Rahul Kakar
Analyst, Jefferies

Hey, good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I just want to touch a little bit on the North American land market, just your view on how do you see that progressing considering the conflict has resumed, how the conversation is going with the customers, and just overall your positioning in the market for the second half and going into 2027.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, and a very good question. We've got a really strong position in U.S. land, again, across most of the things that we do. We have seen, much like the rest of the market participants, pick up an activity. A couple of the majors, a couple of the larger independent majors have announced some rig additions, but what's less obvious to the public markets probably is a lot of these smaller one-two rig operators have added a rig or something like this, and so we're seeing a pretty strong growth that, as Kendal said, is baked into our Q3 forecast in U.S. land. And then we'll see where it goes from there. Obviously, our customers in North America are very efficient, very responsive to what the market signals are telling them. So we're expecting strength in Q3 and Q4, and then it's a little bit hard to predict out farther than that in that market.

speaker
Rahul Kakar
Analyst, Jefferies

All right, great. And then maybe the next one, I just want to touch a little bit more on the third quarter guide. I think that's great color on the contribution from TCL. just curious like the factors that could basically help you and maybe accomplish the high end of the guide like I understand there's a midpoint is around a decent uplift in the margin quarter over quarter what factors could drive you beating the third quarter being at the high end of the guide as well any color on that front yeah I mean I think you know from a revenue perspective certainly um

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

We want to be conservative with what we're factoring in from TCO, but I think from conversations with the team, there are a lot of good opportunities there. I think the second half of the year is going to be strong. So there's just kind of a question of timing of what gets delivered in Q3 versus Q4. So that's certainly one factor. And then from a margin perspective, the other thing I would highlight is just this conflict going on in the Middle East that continues to be a drag on margins for us. So if you look at just the bottom line, if that were to somehow get resolved here tomorrow, that would be a nice boost to our margins in the region from a logistics cost perspective, or probably the two things I would point to from a Q3 standpoint.

speaker
Rahul Kakar
Analyst, Jefferies

Awesome. If I can just ask one more on TCO overall, obviously. You've been executing on the M&A strategy. You've got the TCO completed. And obviously, you have a track record of cross-selling whenever we do an M&A. Can you just take us to the near-term or the low-hanging cross-selling opportunities from this acquisition where you can expand the product line any color on that front from the TCO, like how you could basically accomplish commercial scenarios out of this?

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, we can hit on that real quick. So there's a lot of opportunities, especially with TCO, for us to cross-sell that across our platform. One prime example of that, I would argue, is in Brazil, where that's a market TCO is already looking to enter. It never really done anything meaningful in historically, but there's a really nice technology fit with some of the TCO emerging products that we think make a lot of sense for the Brazil market. And it happens to be sold to the exact same folks and used in the exact same cycle as our subsea wellhead business, where we're the number one provider of subsea wellheads into Brazil. So I think it's going to mesh as a place where we'll have really great opportunity to partner together with the team there and see some nice growth.

speaker
Rahul Kakar

speaker
Eddie Kim
Analyst, Barclays

Hi, good morning. I just wanted to touch on Saudi Arabia. You mentioned you grew share in the expandable liner hangers business. Fair to say you've seen sort of very little disruption in that Saudi business despite everything that's going on. And separately, you mentioned growth in unconventional applications in Saudi. How involved are you currently in Jafura, and do you see that as a growing opportunity for you guys?

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so we had a nice uptick in business in Saudi. That's an area that we talk about regularly, that we've got a really strong market position in Saudi. A great team there has signed our first contract direct with end users in Saudi and have a few other things coming down that pipeline. So we're really proud of the position we've built there. Yeah, I think two technologies to highlight there are that expandable liner that's run a lot in the gas, more of the legacy deep gas in Saudi, where we're building really nice market share with that expandable liner hanger. and then in Jafura specifically we do a couple of different things around well construction or cementing tool products, centralizers, some float equipment, some intermediate stage tools and then we have qualified now the trench foot technology that came to us through the Citadel acquisition and think that there's a lot of potential for that. So I would say today we're still more levered to the legacy Thank you. My follow-up is on the North Namland region. Your second quarter revenue declined 4% sequentially. You mentioned that a lot of that was due to

could you just remind us actually about the split, the rough split in revenue between the lower 48 and Canada? Is it sort of 60-40, 70-30? Any sense there would be great.

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, hey Eddie. So Canada represents roughly 8% of our overall business and probably something like 15% of our North American land business. So Yeah, it's the minority for sure, but they have some pretty hefty seasonality there, so that definitely weighs on Q2 each year in mainland.

speaker
Eddie Kim
Analyst, Barclays

Got it. And so the U.S. land portion of that, so lower 48, did you see growth in that region in the second quarter, or was that also flat or a slight decline as well?

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, we were more flat in Q2 in U.S. land. I think from what we're seeing now, we're expecting some nice growth in Q3, I think just based on timing of rigs coming on and when that translates to revenue for us. We did not see a lot of Q2 revenue growth, but we're expecting to see that pick up in the back half of the year.

Got it. Great. Thank you. I'll turn it back.

Your next question comes from the line of Blake McLean with Daniel Energy Partners. Blake, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

speaker
Blake McLean
Analyst, Daniel Energy Partners

Hey, morning, guys. Morning. Yeah, just one follow up on the TCO. A lot of good color already here, so I don't want to beat a dead horse. But on the TCO, you guys call out Norway and UAA. and the UAE kind of strengthening positions there. Can you talk a little bit about those markets, specifically the opportunity set and what this does for you guys there?

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, no, for sure. I think it's a good question. Norway is a very attractive market for the things that we do. I think it's one of the markets where we are definitely under-penetrated relative to where we want to be and where we should be over time. So we've taken some steps with our team there, with our technology over the last couple of years which is starting to just starting to bear a little bit of fruit. But adding the TCO team that they're just inherent knowledge capability in Norway, I think it's really going to help accelerate everything that we can do in the downhole tool and technology space. So I think that's really important and we're looking forward to what comes out of that. That is definitely a market that takes some time to get identify the right technologies, get it qualified through the appropriate channels, et cetera. So it'll take some time before you start to see that flow through to results. But I think long-term, great market, strong barriers to entry, and a place you can really create value over time. In the UAE, we participate a little different than our position in Saudi. We do really well with certain niche technologies. We help with some of the most complicated wells. that they drill in those island wells that they drill and some other areas. And similarly, TCO adds some technologies kind of in a similar way and some niche technologies that really help them be more efficient in their drilling and completion operations. And then we see some potential to pull that technology into a couple areas, again, Saudi in particular, where I think we can help TCO be a lot more successful in Saudi as an area that they, again, have not focused on quite as much as UAE. But similarly, I think their position in UAE, in combination with some of the niche technologies that we do in the Emirates, is going to help us strengthen that position over time.

speaker
Blake McLean
Analyst, Daniel Energy Partners

Okay, good. Good call. Thank you. And then just more broadly on the M&A front, I mean, you guys have got a fairly clear strategy that's been well executed here. You know, three noteworthy acquisitions over the last year. So how do you guys think about like the integration bandwidth and the playbook sort of internally? I know there's a really robust opportunity set, but how do you think about the organizational? capacity to take on incremental deals as you think about the process moving forward?

speaker
Kendal Reed
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, no, it's a really good question. So, I mean, I'll brag on our team for a minute. We have a really great group of folks that we've done this a lot over the last 10 plus years, building InnoVax and are really at a place now where We have great confidence in the team of whatever acquisition comes through, we're going to be able to integrate it, pull the systems together, you know, get the organization all feeling like one team and pointed in the right direction. So we've just been very pleased with how our team internally has come together around that integration skill set. I think the other thing that I would point out is we're really getting to the end. It's been kind of a two year journey, I would say, on the drillquip integration. and we are right at the end of that process where we've got the facility consolidation done. We have one more ERP conversion to do later this year and then we'll really be through that whole process. So we have a lot of bandwidth freeing up as we look at new opportunities now to be able to take on as many or more as we've done over the last year or two. Awesome. Thank you very much for the time this morning.

speaker
Adam Anderson
Chief Executive Officer
