National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (NESR) Earnings Call Transcript & Summary

Greetings, and welcome to the NESR Report Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Blake Gendron, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Thanks, Maria. Hello, and welcome to NESR's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. With me today are Sherif Foda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NESR, and Stefan Angeli, Chief Financial Officer. On today's call, we will comment on our second quarter results and overall performance. After our prepared remarks, we will open up the call to questions. Before we begin, I'd like to remind our participants that some of the statements we'll be making today are forward-looking. These matters involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. I therefore refer you to our latest earnings release filed earlier today and other SEC filings. Our comments today may also include non-GAAP financial measures. Additional details on reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in our press release, which is on our website. Finally, feel free to contact us after the call with any additional questions you may have. Our Investor Relations contact information is available on our website. Now I'll hand the call over to Sherif.

Thanks, Blake. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and thank you for participating in this conference call. I could not be prouder of the nearly 8,000 men and women of NESR, who not only rose to the challenge in the second quarter, but exceeded all expectations and stood by our customers when needed most. I also have immense gratitude to all our clients that proved to the world that it will take more than a geopolitical disruption to change the strategic inertia of the region. Our differentiated record-setting results reflect the resilience of our customers, our unique project exposure and the responsiveness of our local team that consistently and repeatedly turn crisis into opportunity. As stated in the beginning of the conflict on our last conference call, we were first to rally to our customers. We remain by their side and we nimbly reoriented our 30-60-90 supply chain strategy to ensure 100% reliability with 0 interruption. This response showed up clearly in our fantastic results just as we had planned and communicated. Throughout the conflict, we stayed true to our founding ethos. NESR began with the vision of creating a MENA energy service company built for local content leadership, supply chain resilience, fleet for purpose technology and to empower our 100% in-country workforce to set new standards for safety, quality and reliability as a true national leader. The strategy was simple, attract capital globally to cultivate locally what our customers could consider the national champion. If we could simultaneously match or even exceed the service delivery standard to the global peers, then the growth, profitability and cash flow would naturally follow. We would also be the go-to partner in times of crisis. The story across the Middle East has been a story of in-country investment, innovation and human capital development. NESR funding simply reflected the trends that had been put in motion. The story was certainly tested over the past several months, but I can proudly say that NESR's star has never shined brighter amidst the DIM of conflict and uncertainty. Our second quarter results speak for themselves. They speak clearly to the Middle East story of National Champion resilience and speak unambiguously to the success of our founding strategy. Despite the conflict, we've exceeded the $2 billion revenue run rate target that we originally set at the founding of the firm. And we've already established new ambitious targets that are well on the path to achieve these even more quickly. As we have proven to the market, the next growth story continues to accelerate, and our momentum will be tough to stop or even slow down. Our recent performance is not a one-off, but a solid track record that we have been building over many quarters. While the conflict presented its own set of challenges and opportunities for NESR market capture, the growth trajectory that has been in motion, particularly over the past several years, has proven rock solid regardless of the commodity price, geopolitical backdrop or competitive landscape. It's been precisely the execution of our countercyclical investment strategy that has helped us decouple fundamentally from the broader cyclicality of the energy service sector, and the geopolitical didn't use cycle, which is why I can confidently trust that our path to our [ 3B3 ] corporate strategy, a step-by-step playbook to reach a $3 billion revenue run rate target is achievable. This strategy launched late last year, including fueling the funnel, expanding our anchor country footprint and realizing the technology portfolio built over the past 5 years. It captured our main R&D focus areas and include opportunistic M&A, along with strengthening our unique technology partnership. Now let me expand upon our [ 3B3 ] in more detail. First, fueling the funnel. Today, we are the largest frac company in the Middle East. And across our largest segments, we are well within the top 3 provider in the region. This scale is what fuels our supply chain efficiency and also our ability and agility as we can move people and assets seamlessly around the region to respond to, for instance, what I call the post-conflict box of restart opportunities. But this also means that our remaining segments still have plenty of growth runway to reach the scale of our top services. Here, we need to ensure winning more than our fair share of tenders so that funnel is always filled with secured multiyear contracts. We have very good visibility of these tenders. And with our past performance, we have secured the license to enable bidding on bigger contract sizes for the different product lines. The second part is adding to the list of anchor countries. Here, we are talking about enlarging our geographical footprint smartly by either entering a new country or making one of the small ones, much bigger. We are present in all basins of the Middle East, but some we are way too small or decided to limit our exposure in the past. As we gain momentum, we are invited and asked to participate in several new opportunities with innovative business model that ensures we maintain our slogan of only profitable growth. A good example of this is Syria, where ConocoPhillips, Total, Qatar Energy and others have signed a wave of recent agreement to revive the country oil and gas industry alongside its economy and also play a crucial role and the export capacity build-out ongoing to the Eastern net. We know the blueprint of how to intelligently start the operation and support both the IOCs and the newly formed national company with partnership and scalable operations. The third pillar encompass our frontier growth, especially [indiscernible] ROA, among other R&D and innovation venture. We have invested in the past with multiple pilots and time has come to realize the fruits of our past investment. We will be able to demonstrate in the coming quarters the results of those efforts. We recently announced a number of contract awards in Kuwait, but we are particularly excited about our [indiscernible] innovation value contract. As an inaugural partner in AIV, we were one of the first to announce our commitment and plan for a world-class innovation center and the new heart of upstream innovation in Kuwait. More importantly for NESR, this contract represents our new entry into a long-term master technology agreement framework, which unlocks an entirely new innovation budget that is aligned with our open technology platform, which will explore clicks adapt promising solution tailored to the Kuwait market. To give you an idea of the magnitude of the scope, the NESR AID focus area includes drilling, flow assurance, heavy oil, industrial inspection service, enhanced recovery and very crucially unconventional resources, where we have established a lead investing class in the region from our work in Jafurah and Saudi Arabia. This engagement will be supported by over a dozen R&D partnership with leading tech company globally, several hundreds granted patents, and with the forthcoming groundbreaking of a world-class research center. This is our DNA. build and invest in the future of the region with commitment at the highest level for long-term sustainability and prosperity. And with that, let me turn over to Stefan to discuss our stellar results in details.

Thank you, Sherif. Good morning to those joining us from the United States, and good afternoon or good evening to the participants across the Middle East, North Africa, Asia and Europe. Thank you for taking the time to join us today. I'm pleased to discuss our financial results for the second quarter of 2026, and provide our perspective on the business, our continued momentum and our outlook for the remainder of the year. Let's begin with our second quarter performance. Revenue for the quarter reached a record $520.8 million, increasing 28.7% sequentially and 59.1% year-over-year. Sequential growth was driven primarily by Saudi Arabia, reflecting the continued successful ramp-up of the Jafurah contract, where 4 hydraulic fracturing fleets were active throughout the quarter, together with strong growth in our conventional Saudi operations. We also delivered solid growth in Oman and in Egypt, partially offset by lower activity in Iraq, which continues to be impacted by the regional disruptions during the quarter. Year-over-year growth was also driven by the strong contributions from the Jafurah contract together with increased activity across Oman, Kuwait and North Africa. Iraq remained a principal headwind during the quarter with activity levels affected by ongoing regional disruptions. Shifting our focus to profitability. Adjusted EBITDA reached a record $106.2 million during the second quarter, representing a margin of 20.4%. The margin expansion reflects the normal seasonal improvement we typically see in our business together with the benefits of key project ramp-ups, most notably Jafurah. During the quarter, margins were impacted by approximately $4 million or around 80 basis points of incremental freight and logistic costs resulting from regional geopolitical disruptions. These costs primarily related to special airfreight charters and other contingency measures that enabled us to maintain uninterrupted services for our customers. Despite these headwinds, margins remained resilient supported by disciplined cost management, improved operational execution, higher activity efficiencies and our lean overhead structure. Adjusted EBITDA also included $1.5 million of net charges and credits, primarily reflecting $1 million of expected credit loss provision related to a North Africa customer. From an income and earnings per share perspective, adjusted net income for the quarter reached a record $45.5 million, increasing 70.1% sequentially and 125.9% year-over-year. Adjusted diluted EPS was a record $0.44 reflecting the strong operating leverage in our business as high activity levels continue to translate into expanding profitability, particularly within our unconventional completions and testing service lines. Looking at cash flow and liquidity. This continues to be one of NESR's key strengths in an area where we have consistently differentiated ourselves over the past several years. As many of you will recall, our first quarter operating cash flow and free cash flow were impacted timing wise by the normal seasonal build in working capital associated with Ramadan and the higher activity levels we experienced during the quarter. As expected, this reversed in the second quarter with operating cash flow increasing to $174 million. The improvement was primarily driven by 3 factors: one, record working capital execution included our lowest day sales outstanding on record for a nonyear-end reporting period, resulting in a significant reduction in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue. Two, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses at quarter end, largely reflecting the timing difference between customer collections and outbound payments, many of which were settled in the first few days in the third quarter. And three, partially offsetting by higher inventory balances as we proactively secured critical materials to ensure uninterrupted operations across the Middle East during the regional conflict consistent with our 30, 60, 90-day contingency planning. Capital expenditures totaled $74.1 million during the quarter, consistent with our countercyclical investment strategy as we continue deploying equipment into recently awarded contracts and position the business for the next phase of growth. Overall, free cash flow reached $99.9 million during the quarter. As noted previously, included within that result was approximately $40 million of temporary quarter end working capital timing associated with accounts payable and accrued expense. EBITDA after normalizing for this timing effect, the business generated approximately $60 million of free cash flow. This reinforces the consistency and resilience of our cash generation and reflects the same seasonal working capital pattern we experienced during the first half of 2025. Moving to debt. As of June 30, gross debt was $274.6 million, a reduction of $12.7 million from the end of the first quarter, while net debt declined to $99.6 million. This resulted in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of just 0.3x, well below our long-term target of maintaining leverage below 1x. This provides significant financial flexibility to support both organic growth and disciplined capital allocation. As highlighted earlier, quarter end cash benefited from approximately $40 million of supplier payments that were made shortly after quarter end. EBITDA after normalizing for this temporary timing difference our net leverage ratio would have remained a very conservative 0.42x. Finally, reflecting the significant improvement in profitability during the quarter, trailing 12-month return on capital employed increased to approximately 38.5%, driven by higher earnings, disciplined capital allocation and improving asset utilization. As we look ahead to the third quarter, we remain encouraged by the momentum in the business and currently expect: one, continued strong year-over-year revenue growth, supported by the ongoing ramp-up of the Jafurah contract and recent contract awards across Kuwait, the UAE and in North Africa; two, sequential margin improvement consistent with the normal seasonal trends we have discussed previously; three, net interest expense of approximately $6.8 million; and four, an effective tax rate of approximately 24%. From a cost perspective, freight logistics continues to represent the primary impact from the current geopolitical environment. We have proactively planned for lease costs and based on current conditions do not expect them to exceed the incremental cost experienced during the second quarter, unless the regional situation deteriorates materially. We also expect third quarter operating cash flow, free cash flow and capital expenditure remain consistent with our long-term objective of generating free cash flow equivalent to approximately 35% of adjusted EBITDA on a full year basis. With respect to our full year outlook for 2026. Our performance through the first half of the year exceeded our original expectations. As a result, we now view $2 billion of revenue as a minimum objective for 2026, having effectively achieved our previously communicated fourth quarter annualized exit rate target 2 quarters ahead of schedule. We continue to expect full year adjusted EBITDA margins to remain broadly in line with 2025 levels despite the additional freight and logistic costs associated with the current regional geopolitical environment. We remain committed to our countercyclical investment strategy and now expect full year capital expenditures of approximately $210 million to $215 million, reflecting the increased activity levels, the execution of recently awarded contracts and continued investment to support our long-term $3 billion 3B3 growth strategy. For the full year, we currently expect net -- we expect net interest expense of approximately $26 million to $27 million, an effective tax rate of approximately 24%, net income margins in the 9% to 9.5% range and free cash flow conversion of approximately 35% to 40% of adjusted EBITDA, depending on final collections. Overall, we believe NESR is well positioned to deliver another year of record financial performance while continuing to invest for long-term profitable growth. As the company enters its next phase of growth, we also announced last quarter a formal capital allocation framework designed to ensure we continue deploying capital with disciplined and value-accretive manner. I'd like to briefly reiterate that framework today. Our approach is built around 3 priorities. First, we'll continue investing in high-return growth opportunities, including recently awarded contracts and technology-led expansion across core markets. These investments remain the primary driver of long-term shareholder value creation and are fully aligned with our $3 billion 3B3 growth strategy. Second, we remain committed to maintaining the strong balance sheet, targeting net leverage at or below 1x adjusted EBITDA. This provides financial flexibility through the cycle while supporting continued investment in the business. Given our current trajectory, achieving a zero net debt position over the next 2 years is a realistic possibility. Third, we're committed to returning capital to shareholders in a consistent and sustainable manner. And as announced last quarter, we intend to: one, initiate quarterly dividend beginning in the fourth quarter of '26 at $0.10 per share or $0.40 per share annually. We expect to announce the record and payment date with our next earnings release. This reflects our confidence in the durability of our cash flow generation and our commitment to establishing a sustainable dividend that can grow over time; two, maintain our 50 million 12-month share repurchase program while evaluating its renewal upon completion of the initial authorization in the first quarter of 2027. This provides us with flexibility to repurchase shares opportunistically when we believe they are trading below intrinsic value while continuing to prioritize investment in the business. Taken together, this capital allocation framework balances investment for growth. Balance sheet strength and disciplined shareholder returns, positioning NESR to deliver sustainable long-term value creation. Today, as you may have seen in one of our 8-K announcements, we announced that we'll be changing our auditors from [indiscernible] to PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dubai effective for the 2027 audit. The required rotation of the [indiscernible] lead audit engagement partner provided an appropriate opportunity for us to take a comprehensive look at our independent audit requirements and consider how best to support NESR as we continue to grow. Thus, NESR undertook a competitive tender process. Given the significant progress we have made as a company, including our growth to date, the successful completion of our back-office transformation and our strategy for the future, we concluded that a Big 4 international accounting firm will be the best for NESR's audit requirements going forward. As noted in the announcement, there were no disagreements with [indiscernible] any accounting matters or principles. While we believe this is the right decision for NESR at this stage of our journey, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Darren Joel and the entire [indiscernible] Dubai team for their tremendous support over the years. From 2020 through 2025 audit program, they have been a trusted partner to NESR and their dedication, professionalism and commitment have been greatly appreciated. They've also played an important role in helping us successfully complete our back-office transformation, which was a significant undertaking for the company. We're grateful everything the team has done to support NESR during the period of growth and change. I would also like to thank them in advance for their continued commitment and support as we work together to bring the 2026 order to a successful conclusion. To conclude, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. The Middle East, North Africa continues to be the most attractive energy services markets globally. And we believe the region is well positioned to lead the next phase of industry growth, as Sherif discussed earlier. Combined with our strong market position, expanding technology portfolio and growing backlog of long-term contracts, we believe NESR is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities. Against that backdrop, NESR remains focused on delivering profitable growth, driving operational excellence, maintaining disciplined capital allocation and working capital management and expanding our technology leadership. The combination of our strong operational momentum, resilient financial performance, robust cash generation and disciplined capital allocation gives us confidence in our ability to continue delivering profitable growth, strong cash generation and long-term shareholder value in '26 and beyond. On behalf of the management team, we'd like to thank our employees for their continued dedication and outstanding execution as well as our customers, shareholders and banking partners for their continued trust and support. With that, I turn the call back to Sherif.

Thanks, Stefan. Let me conclude. I'm extremely pleased to be here today, reaching the target of $2 billion that we set ourselves to a couple of quarters in advance. I'm proud of our team and extremely thankful to our clients for their trust and support over our journey. I continue to feel honored serving all our esteem customers and be with them every day during those difficult types. We have demonstrated resilience, exceptional growth, while the region has suffered lockdowns, sirens, evacuation alerts, but nothing deterred our momentum. We are very confident with our upcoming growth profile. We believe we will achieve our 3B3 target faster than anticipated, and encouraged by the contract wins and continued R&D success. With that, I'd like to open the door for your question. Maria, please go ahead.

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Arun Jayaram with JPMorgan.

Sherif and Stefan, I was wondering if you could help us understand the drivers of the strong revenue growth. Sequentially, your revenues were up $116 million almost 30%. And I guess we're trying to think about framing the second half outlook, Stefan mentioned that you believe that $2 billion is kind of a floor for revenue this year. But we're just trying to understand is if that fourth frac fleet in Jafurah was fully utilized in 2Q, and I know you're adding a fifth later in third quarter. So just trying to think about what the run rate could look like for the top line as you get into 3Q, 4Q?

So obviously, as Stefan explained, the second quarter, definitely Jafurah was the main highlight. As we had started the project back in November, we said we are going to ramp up faster. We decided to counter cyclical, as we call it, the investment. So we bought the fleet ahead of time. We shipped them all. We maintained all this inventory, 30, 60, 90, et cetera, et cetera, to ensure that we have all products available. In the second quarter, the fourth fleet was working. And we shipped the fifth fleet, it should be in the country very soon. And we will work with our clients to see the best timing to deploy it, right? So it's obviously their decision. But what we wanted always to maintain is we have all this equipment ready. And at the same time, as we did in other countries, replace anyone that either evacuated, decided to stop, decided not to work. So -- and we -- and obviously, this benefited us to capture some of this work. As Stefan mentioned as well, Oman was very, very strong this quarter. Obviously, they don't have any problem with export. So they benefit from the price. We had as well good North Africa incremental quarter-on-quarter. So overall, I would characterize Jafurah is definitely the stellar and we had support from the others. And all, again, as we said last quarter, we are very fortunate that the disruption in the main areas is not affecting us because we are very small in the areas where the disruption did happen or did occur. So our -- that's why our decremental is very, very small.

Got it. And my follow-up is can you provide more details or thoughts around timing of achieving the $3 billion kind of run rate kind of target? Obviously, a lot of tender activity going on right now, but what is a reasonable expectation to reaching that new relatively new target?

So the idea, 3B3 mean 3 billion in 3 years. That's the definition of that. And we launched it last year. And basically, the idea was if you have the pillars, you get the contract awards as we anticipate. You win more than your fair share of the contracts, especially on the smaller segment than the bigger segment, therefore, that you will be able to deploy those equipment and on these contracts that are all long term, I believe that we will be able to achieve the target as I call it faster. So it's called 3B3, again, 3 years. So we think we would be able to have that run rate faster than even 3 years. So again, depending obviously on the contract wins, we have to win these contracts. As I mentioned in my prepared remarks as well, we have this new countries where we wanted to enter and start new business. We have very good dialogue over the past 3 to 4 months with several of them. And I mentioned in my remarks as well, Syria in particular, very promising. You saw ConocoPhillips. He saw the engagement even with the administration with them. He saw the Iraqi Prime Minister was here in the U.S. So there is a lot of action being happening. A lot of IUCs deciding to really up their game in North Africa and other places. So the key now is that you are one of the reliable and very, very strong supplier in the Middle East, so they will come to you like they come to our peers. But we -- again, we are ready. We have local workforce. We never stopped. We never evacuated. So we have a lot of equipment being bought. So that size makes us available to be able to capture that growth faster. And if we do between the 2 and as well have a success of our advanced direction drilling and our decarbonization and mineral and lithium, et cetera, then you will be able to achieve that hopefully faster than our 3-year target.

Our next question comes from David Anderson with Barclays.

I want to dig into Kuwait in a second here, but before we go there, nobody spends more time in the Middle East than you. I was wondering if you could kind of give us an assessment on the ground. You talked about a post-conflict box of restart opportunities, but how are your customers sort of thinking about the next 6 months? You're also talking about a $3 billion tender pipeline. Can you update your view there is that push to the right at all? Is it bigger than you thought? Just some kind of broader kind of commentary on kind of what you're seeing on the ground, please?

Thanks, David. So first, the macro. Nothing has changed from what I said before, which is basically the majority of the countries with the leadership, preparing for a post-conflict which obviously took some time now, but the post-conflict readiness. So rigs are all warm stacked, nothing more cold stacked, if they had to release rigs. Kuwait, for example, did not release the rigs. Abu Dhabi kept the rigs. So everybody kept their fleet to be ready to -- when the export is happening. So the activity -- and I repeat this many times to investors, you have to decouple the activity and production and exports. So the region decided, I am not shutting down. I am not laying off the rigs or facility. I'm keeping the activity. What I do I manage my production by either not drilling the reservoir section, like many of them did, but I keep the rigs running because I need the ecosystem to maintain the same. I need the supply chain to remain, I need the people to be employed. And unless you have a disruption that is -- that you cannot change about it, which is like Iraq, like Qatar, and this is a project that cannot continue. So you have LSTK that, for example, shut down dramatically in Qatar and Iraq. You have LNG stocked. You had the force majeure, et cetera. But the majority of them are ready. Some of them are saying, "I am going to get back to my production in a matter of 2 to 3 months. Once the conflict is off, when they can export when the Hormuz is open. If the deal is struck between Oman and Iran now and the U.S. accepted, I can export immediately. I am ready, and I can do that. UAE, you saw that they produced north of 4 million barrels a day. So everybody is ready for that. And when I call the post-conflict box, which is basically you need to be ready with [indiscernible] intervention, et cetera, because some of these wells, you need to enter, you need to put parks, you need to do some work over. And some of them, you need to go back and drill the reservoir section, so who is ready and that's what they assess. So I am more optimistic than others on the Middle East recovery, and I still believe that it's going to be much faster than what people think once the Hormuz is open. Now for your other question...

Yes, I just want to know a little bit more about the master technology agreement. You just talked about that quite a bit, and it sounds like it's quite a bit more excessive than I realized. You've been talking about Kuwait as one of those anchor countries for a while. I think you said it's going to be the -- I don't know if it's still going to be the second largest country in your portfolio this year. But can you just talk about the significance of this contract? And when do you start to expect -- when does revenue or sort of contracts start to flow from this master technology agreement from what you can gather?

Sure. So the AIV, why I'm very excited about it. Why? Because it's been in the work for some time, but the leadership in Kuwait very visionary decided to make this a reality. And they need an inaugural. So this is basically for people that maybe visited Tehran before you have the Techno Valley. This is going to be very similar, which is [indiscernible] where the space is. They took the space, they took the -- and then they will have a research center based on fit-for-purpose technology for the Kuwait market. Four of us now signed an inaugural players. We announced the award. But the way they did it very smartly, you have a contract with the value, and you are going to open and build the research center, but you as well, you need these technologies to work. And if you prove that those technology underground will make differentiated and address the issues, the challenges of the Kuwait as an R&D, but with an application, you make revenue immediately from this even before you build the facility. And that's why it's very significant. It's going to be very big. There is -- it's a choice that obviously, the leadership in Kuwait decided. And we are obviously honored to be the top 4 companies were -- 1 of the top 4 companies worldwide chosen for that. And then they're going to have another set of companies that will come as Phase 2. And they will be in, if you like, an inauguration, ceremonial officially done sometimes in obviously, barring any more issues to make something like that in the Middle East, but it's going to be within the ADIPEC and WPC within that kind of time frame. So it's very important because this never happens. So basically, if you have a massive technology agreement with the national oil company of Kuwait, and let's say, you have a very innovative floaters like downhole, water separation technology. you are able to immediately operate it and run it. You don't need to have a tender and a contract and an application, no ship the tool and we stop. It's successful, and it really made what you said it will make then you have a contract with it for a multiyear, let's say, $30 million to apply this technology, for example, in some wells. Immediately, you have that contract and you don't need to wait for anything. So it's like a single source if you prove that your technology is differentiated enough to maintain that in the Kuwait market.

Our next question comes from Derek Podhaizer with Piper Sandler.

I just wanted to go back to the 3B3. I think you mentioned, Sherif, that you talked about getting the licenses to enable bidding those bigger contract sizes. So maybe just Help us understand what you meant by that comment, what you mean like growing your footprint or what licenses you're talking about and then how that can really support the timing of the 3B3?

Yes. So for -- just for explanation in more detail, in the contracts in the Middle East, these are multiyear contracts, 5, 7 years, sometimes 9 years, right? So if the client decide to -- I am going to give, let's say, a coal tubing contract, right? So I will dissect this into big companies and smaller company or middle companies. So everybody does it in a different shape or form. But let's say, for the big picture, this is basically what it means. If you are -- we always used to be like the national fine, the local company, very good, but you are not at the level, et cetera, et cetera, in the past. And then we kept growing, growing, growing. So as I explained, we have, what I call, the majority of our completion product line or production product line like cold tubing, cementing, we have the top 3, top 4, right? So you are allowed to bid on the big lots. Now on the smaller ones, you have to prove that you are capable from a technology perspective, from people, from equipment that you can cover the majority of that product line, right? So once you have that and you proved it either with the cycle of contract wins, or a track record, then you are invited to bid as well on the big lots. And today, we're very proud that we are already at that level in the majority of the -- of our segments, meaning in this coming $3 billion or $4 billion tender that has been running now, we are tendering. Some of it are huge contracts, like massive contracts. Obviously, some of these awards are being pushed. And I said it before, it's going to be in Q2, Q3, I think now it's going to be Q3, Q4. Why? Because for obvious reasons, they don't want someone a new, let's say, somebody a newcomer, it takes a big part, 20% of a contract, but he was never there, how he's going to ship the equipment. How he's going to start sending people, how he's going to get these when there are wars and the planes are not flying, et cetera, right? So I would say these tenders are going to be pushed for a quarter or something. All the awards -- sorry, the award will be pushed because the 1 majority of it, we submitted our pricing, and it's going to come. So -- and that's why back to the main question, if you have the license to bid on a bigger lot, -- that means you can win of one of the big lots, which means that you can grow much faster. And that's why we believe if we win more than our fair share in the coming tenders then the $3 billion is not going to be like it could be faster than our 3 years target that we launched back in Q4 of last year.

That's great. I appreciate the comment. I mean just a quick follow-up on that. I mean, is it fair to think you can be awarded something as big as the Jafurah contract?

No. Jafurah is massive. [indiscernible] is the largest contract in the world, the largest tender in the world and the oilseed services. And we won 100%, right? So no, these tenders will not be awarded as a binary or a one-off, right? This will be awarded as multi award to multiple companies. So some of it, they will award like 5 players, 6 players, 7 players, all of them will be there. But the key for us is I want to be from those 3 big ones or 4 big ones, right? So then we establish our position to be that bit like, for example, today, very, very proud when we walk in the Middle East, and we talk to the clients, and we are the #1 frac company, the largest truck company. So people come to us, for technology, for everything, but we have the scale that we can replicate in other countries.

Got it. Okay. Very, very helpful. And I just my follow-up question is you mentioned in your opening remarks, obviously, we know Jafurah is a huge growth driver in Saudi, but you did mention your strong conventional operations in the country as well. So maybe just quickly educate us on kind of what you're performing there, maybe the different service lines and some of the technology you're feeding and are you gaining maybe some natural market share in the country there on the conventional side?

On the conventional or unconventional?
