Innovex Completes Sale of Dril-Quip Eldridge Facility

Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE: INVX) (the “Company,” “Innovex” or “we”) announced that it has closed on the sale of its facility located at 6401 North Eldridge Pkwy, Houston, Texas 77041 (the “Property” or “Eldridge”).

The final sale price for the Property was $90.0 million, resulting in estimated net proceeds1 of approximately $86.5 million. Innovex has also entered into a short-term lease of the Property following the closing of the sale, which extends through December 31, 2025, at a rate of $650,000 per month. The short-term lease allows for the completion of ongoing facility consolidation initiatives, ensuring no disruption to customer deliveries.

Adam Anderson, CEO of Innovex, commented, “This sale is a meaningful milestone in our transformation journey. The transaction will enhance our already strong net cash position and is significant in size, with expected proceeds equal to nearly 7% of Innovex’s current market cap. Equally as important, this step reshapes our operating footprint: by exiting Eldridge, we are reducing our square footage dedicated to Houston Subsea operations by nearly 80%. We expect this dramatic consolidation to lower costs, simplify operations, and drive efficiencies across the organization. We view this outcome as a powerful combination of financial strength and operational improvement, fully aligned with our strategy of maintaining a lean, flexible cost structure and a conservative balance sheet to capture opportunities across industry cycles.”

Kendal Reed, CFO of Innovex, commented, “The proceeds from the Eldridge sale will further strengthen our balance sheet. This transaction is also a critical step in our efforts to expand Adjusted EBITDA Margins toward our long-term aspiration of 25%. We have multiple methods to deploy this capital to create sustained value for shareholders — including a robust pipeline of strategic M&A opportunities and our $100 million share repurchase authorization, which still has over $90 million of capacity remaining. We will continue evaluating these alternatives with discipline, ensuring each decision strengthens our financial profile, and maximizes shareholder returns in a dynamic macro environment.”
