OMS Energy Technologies Inc. Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
SINGAPORE, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OMS Energy Technologies Inc. ('OMS' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: OMSE), a growth-oriented manufacturer of surface wellhead systems ('SWS') and oil country tubular goods ('OCTG') for the oil and gas industry, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights Total revenues in 2025 were $203.6 million, compared with $18.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $163.3 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Gross margin in 2025 was 33.9%, compared with 27.6% for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and 29.9% for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Operating profit in 2025 was $59.9 million, compared with $3.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $40.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Mr. How Meng Hock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OMS, commented, 'We are extremely proud to report strong results for fiscal year 2025 in our first earnings announcement as a publicly listed company. Our double-digit revenue growth, expanded gross margin, and increase in operating profit are a direct result of our team's disciplined execution and commitment to delivering value across all areas of our business. We have also recorded several new customer wins and contract renewals since our IPO in May, further broadening and diversifying our revenue base. With our focus on long-term growth, we're entering fiscal 2026 with strong momentum and a clear strategy for continued innovation and expansion.' Mr. Kevin Yeo, Chief Financial Officer, added, 'Our fiscal 2025 financial performance reflects both top-line strength and meaningful margin improvement. Total revenues grew to $203.6 million, with gross margin reaching 33.9%. Operating profit increased to $59.9 million, highlighting our enhanced cost discipline and the benefits of growing economies of scale. Our net profit for the year was $47.0 million. When excluding a one-time $49.4 million bargain purchase gain recognized in fiscal 2024 related to the Management Buyout, our underlying profitability in 2025 demonstrates strong growth momentum. Supported by these solid fundamentals, a healthy balance sheet and loyal customer base, we remain confident of driving sustainable growth and building long-term shareholder value.' Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results Total revenues. Total revenues in 2025 were $203.6 million, compared with $18.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $163.3 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Specialty connectors and pipes. Revenues from sales of specialty connectors and pipes in 2025 were $143.1 million, compared with $5.1 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $113.5 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a significant increase in demand from one of the Company's major customers who had higher levels of business activities related to oil and gas production. Surface wellhead and Christmas tree equipment. Revenues from sales of surface wellhead and Christmas tree equipment in 2025 were $8.7 million, compared with $3.0 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $6.8 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to delayed demand from one of the Company's major customers in Indonesia, who is rationalizing their requirements as they plan for increased production to meet Indonesia's energy security plan, as well as a delayed shipment to the Middle East which will materialize in the fiscal year 2026. Premium threading services. Revenues from rendering of premium threading services in 2025 were $36.8 million, compared with $7.6 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $31.1 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This slight decrease was primarily attributable to a relatively stable level of rig activities across oil and gas customers in the countries that drive demand for the Company's premium threading services. Other ancillary services. Revenues generated from other ancillary services in 2025 were $15.0 million, compared with $2.4 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $11.9 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to greater customer demand for engineering testing, inspection and maintenance services. Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues in 2025 was $134.6 million, compared with $13.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $114.5 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Gross profit. Gross profit in 2025 was $69.0 million, compared with $5.0 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $48.7 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Gross margin in 2025 was 33.9%, compared with 27.6% for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and 29.9% for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the growth in total revenues, as well as the benefits from economies of scale stemming from higher sales volume, sourcing productivity and an increase in the proportion of higher-margin services performed. Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2025 were $9.1 million, compared with $1.8 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $8.6 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in legal and professional fees, staff expenses and depreciation. Operating profit. Operating profit in 2025 was $59.9 million, compared with $3.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $40.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Total other income/(expense), net. Total other income, net in 2025 was $0.2 million, compared with total other expense, net of $0.08 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and total other income, net of $50.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. The change was primarily due to a non-recurring bargain purchase gain of $49.4 million related to the management buyout in the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Net profit. Net profit in 2025 was $47.0 million, compared with $2.4 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $82.1 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Basic and diluted EPS. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $1.18 in 2025, compared with $2.19 for the period June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow As of March 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $75.8 million, compared with $45.4 million as of March 31, 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $40.5 million, compared with net cash used of $2.9 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and net cash provided of $24.0 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak only wants to join Liverpool
Liverpool have received a big boost in their efforts to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak. According to Fabrizio Romano, Isak only wants to join the Merseyside titans this summer despite interest from many other clubs. Newcastle have been adamant that the Swedish footballer is not for sale in this transfer window. But the striker has clearly expressed his desire to leave St James' Park, putting the Magpies in a difficult situation. Liverpool are expected to make a formal approach for Isak in the coming days, despite spending £79m to sign Hugo Ektike from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Premier League champions will likely have to break the British transfer record for the 25-year-old, as he is reportedly valued at £150m by Newcastle. Given their big outlay this summer, doubts were raised about their ability to sign Isak in the current window. But it emerges Arne Slot's side can afford to spend another £200m and remain compliant with Profit and Sustainability Rules. They have been frugal in the previous three transfer windows, and also banked £174.9m in prize money for winning the Premier League last season. Liverpool are also set for a financial boost as they are close to selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. The two clubs have reportedly reached an agreement worth up to £65m, with the Colombian also keen on the move. The Reds are also open to offers for Darwin Nunez, who has been attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

Hall eyes more success in Wales at Women's Open
Former champion Georgia Hall is hoping Wales will prove to be a happy hunting ground once more as she prepares for the AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. England's Hall is the most recent British winner of the Women's Open having triumphed at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2018. The tournament comes to Wales for the first time this year as Royal Porthcawl plays host to the final golf major of 2025 starting on Thursday. And for Hall, that means a return to the scene of past successes. The 29-year-old won the Girls' Amateur Championship in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, in 2012 before going on to collect the Women's Amateur Championship at Machynys Golf Club in Carmarthenshire 12 months later. "Really I'm a big fan [of Wales]," Hall said. "I haven't played golf in Wales since those wins, so I think it will be a great test in Porthcawl." Porthcawl to host Women's Open in 2025 Open to be Wales' 'largest women's sporting event' The Women's Open is the biggest female sporting event ever staged in Wales, but Royal Porthcawl is no stranger to prestigious competitions. The south Wales links has staged the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup and, on three occasions, the men's Senior Open. "I've played a couple of holes out here and it's a very tough course, I think it's definitely underrated," said Bournemouth-born Hall. "It's learning to know where to hit it. Especially on this golf course there's a lot of blind tee shots, so that will be key." Hall has won seven professional titles and is a five-time Solheim Cup player. Currently ranked 119th in the world, she is hoping the Women's Open will inspire the next generation of golfers. "It would be great to see the young girls supporting and seeing what the world's best women have to offer," she said. "I love to see a lot of people support, especially the youngsters. "I'm a massive fan of golf and what it can provide for the kids and people socialising and [helping] to make friends. It's great that people are learning to grow the game as well." Hall is also an advocate for the promotion of women's sport and wants to see increasing media coverage. "I think that having this event here and all the other women's sports [this summer] is amazing and hopefully in 10 years' time it will be bigger than it is now," she added.
