Management highlights
### Overall Performance Context - OMS delivered resilient performance in fiscal 2026 (its first full fiscal year as a public NASDAQ-listed company) against a complex macro and geopolitical environment. The full-year revenue decline was driven by a base effect from 2025, which included overlap between the conclusion of the prior Saudi Aramco contract and ramp-up of the new 10-year agreement; no orders were lost, only deferred. Second-half 2026 revenue was broadly stable year-over-year, and gross margin improved sequentially from the first half. - End-of-year backlog was $60.7 million, down from $102 million in 2025, but this reflects normal call-off timing fluctuations rather than reduced demand, with a new $11 million Aramco call-off already added to backlog for fiscal 2027 recognition. The company ended the period with a record $154.3 million in cash and restricted cash, and remains 100% debt-free. ### Market Diversification Progress - Revenue growth in non-Saudi markets: 17% increase in Thailand, 16% in Indonesia, 8% in Brunei. OMS earned approved vendor qualification for Kuwait Oil Company, the second-largest Middle Eastern market for specialty connectors, opening access to future tender opportunities. The company currently has $1 million in backlog for Oman, $1.3 million for Indonesia, and $0.26 million for Pakistan for surface systems, and is bidding on opportunities in new markets including Nigeria and Kazakhstan. Plans to establish local presences in Pakistan and the UAE, aligned with regional localization trends, are on track for application filing in August 2026. ### Operational & Certification Milestones - OMS Saudi earned API Specification 6A certification, enabling development of a new service and maintenance arrangement with a U.S.-based drilling company. OMS Indonesia earned API 11D1 certification, allowing expansion into equipment installation services for domestic Indonesian customers. Both milestones support the company's product and service diversification strategy. ### R&D Initiatives - The company signed a research collaboration agreement with Nanyang Technological University focused on finite element analysis for metal welding and additive manufacturing parts. It is also partnering with the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology on CNC machine sensing, anomaly detection, and overall equipment effectiveness to improve manufacturing efficiency. ### Capital Allocation Framework - Core priority is preserving a strong debt-free balance sheet, viewed as a competitive advantage for serving large national oil company clients. The top use of capital is reinvestment in the core business to expand capacity, certification, and in-region growth capabilities. The company is also conducting a disciplined review of bolt-on acquisition opportunities adjacent to its existing portfolio, with nearer-term focus on completion and production technologies, and longer-term exploration of energy transition opportunities (geothermal, carbon capture and storage) that leverage OMS's existing subsurface and engineering expertise. No dividends or share buyback programs are currently in place, as management views growth reinvestment as the highest-return use of capital at this stage, though the strong balance sheet provides flexibility to introduce capital returns when conditions are appropriate.
Guidance
- Top-line: Assuming no additional major geopolitical disruptions, OMS expects modest top-line improvement in fiscal 2027, driven by a gradual recovery in Saudi Aramco call-off activity and continued growth in diversified non-Saudi markets. - Operating margin: Fiscal 2026 operating margin was elevated by favorable revenue mix, so the company expects normalized 2027 operating margin to settle modestly below the 2026 level of 22.4%, as the business mix diversifies into newer products and markets and the company absorbs a full year of recurring public company operating costs. - SG&A expenses: After elevated 2026 levels driven by one-time first-year public company setup costs, OMS expects SG&A to normalize to approximately $11 million in fiscal 2027. - Free cash flow: 2026 adjusted free cash flow was boosted by a $15.4 million working capital release from inventory drawdown (to align with lower 2026 call-off volumes). OMS expects normalized 2027 free cash flow to be lower than the 2026 level, as the company will reinvest in inventory to support 2027 delivery commitments, including the new $11 million Aramco order. - Industry outlook: Independent forecasts project MENA regional oil and gas capital spending will grow 4% in calendar 2026, accelerating to 6-7% in 2027 and 2028, driven by delayed projects and post-conflict repair work. Spending acceleration is expected to be concentrated among national oil companies rather than broad-based across all market participants.
Segment performance
Total full-year 2026 revenue was $155.9 million, down from $203.6 million in fiscal 2025, with the decline driven by timing of call-off orders under the long-term Saudi Aramco contract against an unusually high 2025 base. 1. Specialty connectors and pipe: Revenue outside Saudi Arabia grew to $4.6 million in 2026, up from $2.0 million in 2025, representing 2.95% of total 2026 revenue (excluding Saudi Aramco volumes for this segment). 2. Surface reality systems and Christmas trees: Revenue grew to $10.9 million in 2026, up from $8.7 million in 2025, representing 7.0% of total 2026 revenue. Full-year 2026 gross profit was $47.2 million (30.3% gross margin), adjusted EBITDA was $41.2 million, operating profit was $34.9 million (22.4% operating margin), and net profit was $33.9 million. Net cash from operating activities was $54.1 million, and adjusted free cash flow was $52.5 million, up 39.4% year-over-year.
Risks & headwinds
- Geopolitical conflict in the Middle East caused short-term logistical disruptions to OMS operations, including a delayed $800,000 specialty connector shipment from Singapore to the UAE, with continued uncertainty around the timing of a full return to normal regional logistics activity. The seasonal Ramadan slowdown compounded the impact of regional caution. - Call-off order timing under the long-term Saudi Aramco contract is controlled by the customer's inventory management, inspection schedules, and capex cycles, creating natural quarterly and annual revenue fluctuations that are expected but can result in year-over-year revenue declines in some periods. - Regional cost pressure in Saudi Arabia may impact the pace of project recovery even as Saudi Aramco's overall capital program remains on track. - Activity in Malaysia is softer than expected as the dominant operator Patronus directs more work to international locations outside Malaysia, and OMS's Singapore operations face near-term pressure as regional work shifts toward the Middle East. - Competition for new market opportunities (such as Kuwait Oil Company tenders) is fierce, creating uncertainty around whether new qualification will translate into material new revenue.
