Key Points

Positve
  • Cactus Inc (WHD) reported strong sales in Spoolable Technologies, showing growth from the previous quarter due to robust sales to large integrated customers.
  • The company's total revenue for Q1 was $274 million with an adjusted EBITDA of $95 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.8%, demonstrating solid financial performance.
  • Cactus Inc (WHD) increased its cash balance to $194 million, indicating strong liquidity and financial health.
  • The company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, reflecting its ongoing commitment to returning value to shareholders.
  • Cactus Inc (WHD) is pursuing expansion plans in the Mideast, targeting a market for surface pressure control equipment that exceeds $0.5 billion annually, which could significantly enhance future revenues.
Negative
  • The Pressure Control segment saw a revenue decrease of 3% sequentially, primarily due to decreased customer activity, highlighting potential volatility in market demand.
  • Operating income and adjusted segment EBITDA in the Pressure Control segment both decreased due to lower operating leverage and margin declines.
  • The Spoolable Technologies segment faced increased input costs, which negatively impacted the adjusted EBITDA margin by 240 basis points.
  • Cactus Inc (WHD) reported a sequential decrease in GAAP net income from $62 million in the fourth quarter to $50 million in the first quarter, largely due to an increase in the remeasurement of the earn-out liability.
  • Despite the increase in cash balance, the company faces challenges with the macroeconomic backdrop providing little optimism for 2024 U.S. activity levels in the oil and gas sector.
