HOUSTON, February 25, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cactus, Inc. (NYSE: WHD) (“Cactus” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

Revenue of $261.2 million and operating income of $59.9 million;

Net income of $48.3 million and diluted earnings per Class A share of $0.57;

Adjusted net income(1) of $52.1 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) of $0.65;

On January 1, 2026, Cactus closed on its previously announced acquisition of a majority interest in Baker Hughes' Surface Pressure Control business ("Cactus International").

Financial Summary

Scott Bender, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Cactus, commented, “I am pleased with the way our business finished the year in 2025. Fourth quarter margins were strong in both segments. Pressure Control revenues exceeded expectations on strong sales of drilling equipment and increased rental revenues, while Spoolable Technologies revenues declined in line with expectations in the seasonally slow quarter. On January 1, 2026, we closed on the acquisition of a majority interest in Baker Hughes’s Surface Pressure Control business, which we will refer to as Cactus International, supporting a multi-year journey to geographically diversify our earnings base.”

Story continues  

“In the first quarter of 2026 we anticipate that U.S. land activity levels will be relatively flat from the fourth quarter of 2025. Sales in our legacy Pressure Control business are expected to soften on lower products sold per rig followed after a strong fourth quarter and reduced customer rental activity. Beginning in the first quarter, our Pressure Control segment will include results of Cactus International. In Spoolable Technologies, we anticipate revenues to be softer than the fourth quarter, as activity has recently started to rebound from holiday lows late last year.”

Mr. Bender concluded, “I am proud of the way our team executed in 2025 considering the challenging macro and tariff environment faced while planning for a transformational acquisition. Our consistent performance and sustainable cash generation reflect the underlying attributes of the business. We remain excited by the integration opportunities ahead despite the near-term macro-overhang and are very happy to welcome the Cactus International team to our family.”

We report two business segments, Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies. Corporate and other expenses not directly attributable to either segment are presented separately as Corporate and Other Expenses.
