Jim Johnson, Chief Executive of Hunting, commented:
"Hunting has taken a significant step forward in the execution of its 2030 Strategy, with the completion of two acquisitions, which will accelerate growth in revenue and EBITDA to the end of the decade. Both FES and OOR demonstrate strong margin profiles, well in excess of the Group's long-range stated target of 15%.
'Our sales order book supports the robust outlook for the Group while our success within our Subsea product group in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea confirms our strategy of pivoting our sales profile to longer cycle, more stable revenue opportunities.
'The first half of 2025 has seen strong trading for the Group. Hunting's robust cash generation and significant financial flexibility enables us to commence a Share Buyback and increase our targeted annual dividend distributions. We also continue to actively monitor further bolt-on M&A opportunities.'
Trading Update
Delivery of Hunting 2030 Strategy
Hunting completed two acquisitions in the period, which will accelerate growth, generate higher cash flows, and improve capital returns going forward. The acquisition of FES, announced on 24 June 2025, for a consideration of $63 million, after closing adjustments, and the acquisition of the OOR technology from its founding shareholders on 7 March 2025, for a consideration of $18 million, are key milestones in the delivery of the Hunting 2030 Strategy. Hunting also disposed of its interest in Rival Downhole Tools in March 2025 for $12 million. Acquisition costs of c.$3 million have been incurred in the period and will be recorded as a one-off adjusting item in the 2025 half year results.
During the period, the Group announced strong progress in expanding its regional and end-user presence for its titanium stress joint offering. The Subsea Spring business secured a new order from BP in the Gulf of Mexico, which represents a new blue-chip client for Hunting for this product. In addition, the Group's Enpro Subsea business secured a field decommissioning order for its Flow Access Module in the North Sea.
In January 2025, the Group announced a material restructuring and cost reduction programme across its EMEA operating segment to save at least $10 million per annum. Hunting is in the process of closing its operating sites in the Netherlands and Norway and transferring assets to Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the UK, while retaining a sales presence in Norway. A restructuring charge of c.$9 million will be recorded as a one-off adjusting item in the Group's 2025 half year results.
Product groups
In the period, the Group's OCTG product group traded ahead of management's expectations, as stronger margins were delivered through the final four shipments of OCTG and premium connections to Kuwait Oil Company ('KOC'). These are in addition to strong bookings received within Hunting's North America OCTG business, as demand for high-torque, longer lateral well completions was reported.
Despite the softening in the North American onshore market, the Perforating Systems product group returned to profitability in the period as the impact of the recent restructuring and the focus on improving production variances, including a higher level of cost overhead absorption for certain product lines being delivered, led to the improved performance.
Hunting's Subsea product group's performance is expected to be second-half weighted, with a number of planned deliveries in H2 2025, alongside the contribution from FES.
The Advanced Manufacturing product group reported performance marginally behind plan as slower MWD/LWD component sales were partially offset by more robust non-oil and gas sales.
Overall, the outlook for all product groups remains solid with opportunities for growth in all of Hunting's key operating regions, despite the market volatility seen in the first half of the year.
Operating segments
In respect of the Group's reported operating segments, results have overall been in line with expectations, with North America and Asia Pacific ahead of expectations and EMEA and Subsea Technologies marginally behind plan.
The restructuring of the EMEA operating segment will be completed by the end of Q3 2025, with a neutral EBITDA being projected for the operating segment for the full year.
Sales order book and tender pipeline
Although there was significant market volatility during the quarter, the Group reports a period-end sales order book of c.$450 million, which is ahead of the Q1 2025 position of $439 million, as new OCTG, Subsea and Advanced Manufacturing orders were secured.
With the acquisition of FES, coupled with potential orders for OCTG across the Group's international footprint, the Group's tender pipeline remains extremely strong at c.$1.1 billion.
2025 full year guidance
Based on these trading results, the Directors remain comfortable with full year EBITDA guidance of c.$135-$145 million, in line with market expectations. Year-end total cash and bank / (borrowings) position is expected to be c.$65-$75 million, before the proposed Share Buyback and any other possible M&A.
Proposed Share Buyback Programme (the 'Share Buyback') 1
The Directors regularly review the Group's cash performance and ongoing capital requirements within the capital allocation framework. The Board concluded that it is currently appropriate to undertake a capital return of up to $40 million (excluding stamp duty and expenses) through a Share Buyback.
Hunting will retain sufficient financial flexibility to continue investing in its strategy to deliver sustainable growth and attractive returns.
The Directors reserve the right to pause or stop the Share Buyback if a compelling acquisition opportunity or strategic capital investment is approved by the Directors and is considered to be in the best interests of shareholders.
Any shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Buyback programme will be cancelled and the Company's share capital will be reduced accordingly.
Hunting proposes to commence the Share Buyback on Thursday 28 August 2025 when it publishes its 2025 half year results and exits its current close period. The Directors anticipate that the Share Buyback, if implemented in full, will take up to 12 months to complete.
A further announcement concerning the Share Buyback programme will be made upon its commencement.
Dividend
The Directors continue to believe that a clear annual dividend policy is a key element of the Hunting investment case.
At the September 2023 Capital Markets Day ('CMD'), Hunting announced its long-term dividend policy, whereby total dividend distributions would increase at a minimum rate of 10% annually to 2030.
Reflecting the Company's strong cash generation since the CMD and pivot to longer cycle sales, the Directors have decided to raise the targeted annual increase in dividends to 13% following the capital allocation policy review.
Other Capital Allocation Considerations
The Directors re-affirm the Board's capital allocation policy whereby the Company will continue to invest in the Group's core operations with organic capital investment remaining broadly in line with the Group's depreciation to the end of the decade.
Further, the Directors continue to pursue bolt-on acquisitions in areas including subsea technologies, intelligent well completions and non-oil and gas, all of which form the basis of the Hunting 2030 Strategy.

Renesas Announces Consolidated Forecasts
TOKYO, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the consolidated financial forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025. Renesas Electronics Group ("the Group") reports its consolidated forecasts on a quarterly basis as a range because of the difficulty of forecasting full-year results with high accuracy due to the short-term volatility of the semiconductor market. Additionally, in order to provide useful information to better understand the Group's constant business results, figures such as revenue, gross margin, and operating margin are presented in the non-GAAP format, which excludes or adjusts the non-recurring items related to acquisitions and other adjustments, including non-recurring expenses or income from the financial figures (GAAP, IFRS basis) following a certain set of rules. The gross margin and operating margin forecasts are given assuming the midpoint in the revenue forecast. Consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025(January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025) In millions of yen Non-GAAPRevenue Non-GAAP Gross Margin Non-GAAP Operating Margin Previous forecasts --- --- --- Forecasts as ofJuly 25, 2025 955,914to 970,914 56.7% 27.5% Increase (decrease) --- --- --- Percentage change --- --- --- Reference: Corresponding period of the previous year (January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024) 1,055,879 56.4% 30.5% Note: Non-GAAP figures are calculated by removing or adjusting non-recurring items and other adjustments from GAAP (IFRS basis) figures following a certain set of rules. The Group believes non-GAAP measures provide useful information in understanding and evaluating the Group's constant business results, and, therefore, forecasts are provided on a non-GAAP basis. This adjustment and exclusion include the amortization of intangible assets recognized from acquisitions, other PPA (purchase price allocation) adjustments and stock-based compensation, as well as other non-recurring expenses and income the Group believes to be applicable. The consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, are calculated by combining the forecasts for the three months ending September 30, 2025, with the financial results of the six months ended June 30, 2025. The consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, are calculated at the rate of 148 yen per USD and 164 yen per Euro.
