• Total company revenue grew 27% year-over-year, driven by a 295% surge in data analytics revenue.
• Data analytics now contributes 50% of gross profit, up sharply from 8% in the prior year, but the segment is still evolving.
• Industry technologies revenue increased 13%, despite historically low completions activity in North America.
• Adjusted EBITDA improved 44% year-over-year, reflecting overall operational leverage.
• Management highlighted a multiyear transformational shift toward a data-as-a-service business model, but investors likely reacted negatively to cautious forward commentary and margin headwinds implied in the segment mix transition.
