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.

Several US executives to visit China this week: sources
By Laurie Chen BEIJING (Reuters) -A high-level delegation of American executives will travel to China this week to meet senior Chinese officials in a trip organised by the U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC), two sources with knowledge of the visit told Reuters on Monday. The visit coincides with the latest round of U.S.‑China trade negotiations in Sweden, where China's Vice Premier He Lifeng is meeting U.S. officials from July 27 to July 30 for a new round of economic and trade talks. The delegation will be led by FedEx Chief Executive Rajesh Subramaniam, the council's board chair, one of the sources briefed on the trip said. The South China Morning Post first reported the visit on Sunday, saying that executives from firms including Boeing would be part of the delegation. Reuters could not confirm other CEO members of the delegation or which Chinese officials they would meet. Boeing declined to comment on the trip and deferred to USCBC. The U.S. government was not involved in the organisation of the visit, one of the sources said. The trip comes as Beijing and Washington work towards a summit between the two countries' leaders later this year, probably around the time of the APEC forum in South Korea October 26 - November 1, sources previously told Reuters. USCBC did not respond immediately to a request for comment. The business lobby previously organised similar visits to China by American CEO delegations in 2023 and 2024. The 2024 trip, also led by Subramaniam, included meetings with He and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, where executives discussed issues including market access. China faces an August 12 deadline to reach a durable deal with the White House or risk higher U.S. tariffs. U.S. officials are likely to extend the deadline by another 90 days as both sides work towards a more comprehensive deal, sources previously told Reuters. An extension of that length would prevent further escalation and help create conditions for the potential meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Doosan Fuel Cell begins mass production of fuel cell power systems using Ceres technology
Doosan Fuel Cell Factory Major milestone for Ceres and Doosan partnership Products will target rapidly growing AI/data centre and commercial power markets HORSHAM, United Kingdom, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ceres Power Holdings plc (CWR.L, 'Ceres' or the 'Company'), a leading developer of clean energy technology, and the Doosan Corporation announce that Doosan Fuel Cell has commenced mass market production of fuel cell stacks using Ceres' solid oxide technology. Doosan Fuel Cell will manufacture the stacks and fuel cell power systems at its dedicated factory in South Korea with the ability to produce a combined generational capacity of 50MW of electrical power each year. This commencement of manufacturing marks a significant milestone for Ceres, as Doosan is the first of its strategic licensing partners to enter mass production using its technology. The fuel cells, stacks and power systems that Doosan Fuel Cell produces will be marketed initially to customers in South Korea. The Ceres designed fuel cells will be manufactured in Doosan Fuel Cell's state-of-the-art factory in the province of Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, where construction began in 2022. Its completion marks the world's first Ceres metal supported solid oxide fuel cell and systems facility to come on-stream. Doosan Fuel Cell anticipates the sale of its first solid oxide fuel cell products will occur before the end of 2025. Doosan Fuel Cell will distribute the solid oxide systems, with a primary market focus on applications for stationary distributed power. These include data centres, where the advent of AI processing has caused a spike in power demand that can be met by the deployment of fuel cells. Other uses include the stabilisation of renewables-based power grids and microgrids through peak power production, power systems for buildings, and auxiliary power solutions for marine shipping markets. Phil Caldwell, Chief Executive Officer of Ceres, said: "Fuel cells have a major part to play in meeting the world's rapidly-increasing power demands, developing energy resilience and ensuring decarbonisation. Ceres' solid oxide design is the ideal technology for these applications through its higher efficiency, lower cost and greater robustness than other technologies. Doosan Fuel Cell's commencement of mass manufacturing is a major step in bringing this technology to the world." Doosoon Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Doosan Fuel Cell, said: "Fuel cells, a clean energy solution, are gaining attention as an optimal alternative to various power demands triggered by AI, including data centres. In South Korea, the world's leading fuel cell market, we aim to lead the adoption of advanced SOFCs by leveraging our collaboration with Ceres. By commercialising these technologies and promoting their domestic production, we intend to spearhead the acceleration of the global transition to a decarbonised society through eco-friendly energy solutions in the commercial power market and maritime mobility."
