NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. reported substantial financial growth for fiscal year 2025, with revenue increasing 13% to $183.6 million despite ongoing challenges in the energy services market. According to analysis from Stonegate Capital Partners, this performance was driven by product strength across multiple regions and strategic execution rather than simply benefiting from improved market conditions. The company's U.S. fracturing systems and Repeat Precision business showed particular momentum, while international operations in the North Sea and Middle East continued to gain traction.
The quality of NCS Multistage's growth was notable, with organic revenue excluding the ResMetrics acquisition still increasing 10% year-over-year. The company's adjusted EBITDA rose 20% to $26.7 million, while EBITDA margin expanded approximately 80 basis points to 15%. Adjusted gross margin remained stable at 41% despite some pressure from service mix changes. These metrics suggest the company maintained pricing discipline while expanding its market position.
A significant contributor to the strong performance was the July acquisition of ResMetrics, which added $5.2 million to revenue. The fourth quarter of FY25 materially outpaced expectations as U.S. fracturing demand accelerated and international markets remained constructive. Free cash flow after non-controlling interests nearly doubled to $18.9 million, reinforcing the benefits of the company's asset-light business model and supporting the view that FY25 outperformance was driven more by share gains, product execution, and targeted expansion than by a stronger underlying market.
The company exits FY25 with a strong balance sheet that supports continued reinvestment, integration execution of recent acquisitions, and flexibility for additional tuck-in mergers and acquisitions. This financial position provides NCS Multistage with strategic options as it navigates the evolving energy services landscape.

The implications of these results extend beyond NCS Multistage's immediate financial performance. The company's ability to grow revenue and expand margins during a period of market challenges suggests successful execution of its strategic initiatives and potential for continued market share gains. The strong free cash flow generation supports the sustainability of the company's growth strategy and provides resources for future investments. As energy companies continue to focus on efficiency and technology-driven solutions, NCS Multistage's performance indicates it is well-positioned to benefit from these industry trends.
