Oceaneering posted Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $115M, above its $110M high end, on subsea robotics and offshore project strength. Revenue hit $680M. The company kept full-year EBITDA guidance at $435M-$465M, citing steady deepwater demand and a $1.2B backlog.

Oceaneering International beat its own second-quarter EBITDA guidance, reporting $115 million in adjusted earnings against a high end of $110 million, as subsea services and offshore project activity drove the quarter.
The Houston-based oilfield services company posted revenue of $680 million for the three months ended June 30, up from $645 million in the first quarter. Free cash flow came in at $45 million, with the company trimming net debt by $30 million to $510 million.
Subsea robotics revenue hit $210 million, a 12% sequential gain, as remotely operated vehicle utilization climbed to 82% from 76% in Q1. The manufactured products segment contributed $175 million, helped by an order backlog that now stands at $1.2 billion, up from $1.1 billion at the end of March.
CEO Rod Larson said the beat was broad-based. "Our second quarter results, which exceeded the high end of our EBITDA guidance range, reflected strong operational execution across our diversified portfolio," he said on the earnings call.
Oceaneering kept its full-year EBITDA guidance at $435 million to $465 million, with management citing steady demand from deepwater operators and a growing pipeline of inspection and maintenance contracts. The company also reiterated its expectation for positive free cash flow in 2026.
The offshore energy services sector has seen a gradual recovery in spending, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore West Africa, where Oceaneering operates ROV fleets and provides subsea hardware. The $1.2 billion backlog covers roughly 18 months of revenue at current run rates, Larson noted.
Oceaneering ended the quarter with $180 million in cash and $690 million in total liquidity. Capital expenditure for the quarter was $35 million, on track for a full-year plan of $140 million.
Shares of Oceaneering have gained about 8% year to date, roughly in line with the broader energy sector. The company has no major maturities until 2028, CFO Mike Sumruld said.
