Stonegate Capital Partners has updated its coverage on Civeo Corporation (NYSE: CVEO) following the company's second-quarter 2026 earnings release. The results exceeded both Stonegate's and consensus estimates, driven by stronger revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Revenue came in at $180.0 million against Stonegate's estimate of $173.1 million and consensus of $172.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached $23.8 million, surpassing the projected $21.3 million. The net loss improved to $2.5 million from $3.3 million in the prior year period.
The quarter's operating cash flow of $11.6 million, a significant turnaround from the negative $2.3 million in the first quarter, confirmed that the earlier outflow was seasonal. Capital expenditures of $3.7 million remained maintenance-related, indicating disciplined capital allocation. Although adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year from $25.0 million, the decrease is attributed to a $3.2 million activist cost addback in the prior period and timing items. Notably, unadjusted EBITDA increased year-over-year, and first-half 2026 adjusted EBITDA rose 23% to $46.3 million.
Stonegate highlights that the quality of the beat is higher than the headline year-over-year decline suggests, with cash conversion normalizing and strong first-half performance. North American growth is increasingly tied to a substantial pipeline of approximately $1.5 billion in LNG, infrastructure, and data center projects. While meaningful contributions are more likely to begin in 2027, this pipeline positions Civeo for long-term expansion. The recent convertible issuance enhances funding flexibility while remaining anti-dilutive below approximately $53 per share, preserving capacity for both camp deployment and selective share repurchases.
