About OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC

Oil States International, Inc. (ticker: OIS) is a U.S.-listed industrial energy-services and engineered-products company traded on the NYSE in the United States. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company supplies highly engineered products and services to customers in the energy, industrial, and military sectors. Its business is organized into three operating segments: Offshore Manufactured Products, Completion and Production Services, and Downhole Technologies. This segment structure gives the company exposure to offshore project activity, well completion and intervention markets, and a range of consumable and capital equipment applications across the upstream energy value chain.

The company emphasizes “highly engineered” capital equipment and consumable products, which generally require engineering know-how, manufacturing discipline, and long customer qualification cycles. According to its filings, Oil States operates manufacturing and service facilities across the United States and internationally, including locations in Brazil, Scotland, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Spain, the UAE, Canada, and multiple U.S. energy hubs. That footprint supports direct access to offshore and onshore customers and helps the company serve national oil companies, independent E&Ps, offshore drillers, and defense/industrial end markets. Management also states that it holds leadership positions in certain product and service offerings within each segment.

While Oil States does not present itself as a broad commodity producer, its results are still sensitive to energy-cycle conditions, customer capex, and offshore project timing. In recent reporting, the company highlighted improved performance in Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies, supported by higher U.S. demand and restructuring actions taken in 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, Oil States reported $165.2 million of revenue, $20.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA, $31 million of cash from operations, and a $399 million Offshore Manufactured Products backlog, the highest since June 2015. The quarter also included capital returns through repurchases of convertible notes and common stock.

The NYSE listing under ticker OIS provides liquidity and visibility in the U.S. market, while the company’s international manufacturing/service network and exposure to offshore and defense-related demand can help partially offset weakness in U.S. land activity.
