About NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc.

NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-listed company on the Nasdaq Capital Market (NYSE/NASDAQ: NASDAQ) in the United States. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company’s principal executive office is located at 19350 State Highway 249, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77070. NCS was incorporated in Delaware on November 28, 2012, originally under the name Pioneer Super Holdings, Inc.; it changed its name to NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. on December 13, 2016, and completed its initial public offering in May 2017. NCS Multistage is an engineering-driven oilfield technology and services company focused on well construction, well completions, and field development strategies. Its portfolio includes casing buoyancy systems, liner hanger systems, and toe initiation sleeves used to help safely and efficiently run casing and production liners, support cementing operations, and initiate the first flow path into the reservoir during stimulation. The company also provides fracturing systems and enhanced recovery systems, along with related support services. In addition, NCS offers tracer diagnostics services for well completion and reservoir characterization using downhole chemical and radioactive tracers. A further element of the business is its 50% ownership in Repeat Precision, which sells composite and dissolvable frac plugs, setting tools, perforating guns, and related products. From a competitive standpoint, NCS is best described as a specialized, niche oilfield supplier rather than a broad-based services provider. Its competitive edge is tied to proprietary technologies, a patent portfolio, and technical know-how in horizontal wells, particularly unconventional wells where precision and reliability matter. The company’s business remains highly tied to capital spending by exploration and production customers, making it cyclical and sensitive to commodity prices, drilling activity, and competitive pricing pressure from larger industry participants with greater scale and R&D budgets. Geographically, NCS has a North American core, with meaningful activity in the United States and Canada, while also expanding its international footprint. In its 2024 results, management highlighted year-over-year growth across the U.S., Canada, and international markets, with record international revenue and strategic progress in the North Sea and Middle East. The company also referenced opportunities in other markets, including Argentina, reflecting a more diversified geographic ambition than in prior years. A recent highlight was NCS’s strong 2024 performance, including higher annual revenue, improved gross margin, positive net income, and stronger cash generation. Management also noted continued execution on strategy, including leveraging leading market positions and commercializing new solutions. For investors, NCS remains a small-cap energy infrastructure name with a specialized product set, improving operational momentum, and ongoing exposure to the volatile global oil and gas cycle.
