CORE LABORATORIES INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

References to “Core Lab”, “Core Laboratories”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and similar phrases are used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and relate collectively to Core Laboratories Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We operate our business in two segments: (1) Reservoir Description and (2) Production Enhancement. These complementary operating segments provide different services and products and utilize different technologies for evaluating and improving reservoir performance and increasing oil and gas recovery from new and existing fields. For a description of the types of services and products offered by these operating segments, see Note 16 - Segment Reporting.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Core Laboratories Inc. and its subsidiaries for which we have a controlling voting interest and/or a controlling financial interest. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information using the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and ~~the summary of significant accounting policies and~~ notes thereto included in Core Laboratories Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Core Laboratories Inc.’s balance sheet information for the year ended December 31, 2024, was derived from the 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the accounting policies during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.

Core Laboratories Inc. uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has less than a majority interest and does not exercise control but does exert significant influence. Non-controlling interests have been recorded to reflect outside ownership attributable to consolidated subsidiaries that are less than 100% owned. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included in these financial statements. Furthermore, the operating results presented for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts in order to conform to the current period presentations. These reclassifications had no impact on the reported net income or cash flows for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2024.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We review our long-lived assets (“LLA”) for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recovered over their remaining service lives. Indicators of possible impairment may include significant declines in activity levels in regions where specific assets or groups of assets are located, extended periods of idle use, declining revenue or cash flow or overall changes in general market conditions.

The geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022 and has continued through ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, has resulted in disruptions to our operations in Russia and Ukraine. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, our laboratory facilities, offices, and locations in Russia and Ukraine continued to operate with no significant impact to local business operations. Therefore, we

~~Therefore, we~~ determined there was no triggering event for LLA in Russia and Ukraine, and no impairment assessments have been performed as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued But Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to improve transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Upon adoption, our disclosures regarding income taxes will be expanded accordingly.

As amended by ASU 2025-01 issued in January 2025, the amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Upon adoption, our disclosures regarding expenses will be expanded.

~~We,~~On ~~along~~July ~~with~~22, ~~CLIH~~2025, ~~have~~we aentered ~~credit~~into ~~facility,~~ the ~~Eighth~~Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Renewed Credit Facility”) for an aggregate borrowing commitment of $~~135~~150.0 million with a $50.0 million “accordion” feature. Draws up to $100.0 million are available in the form of a revolving credit facility, and a single draw of $50.0 million is available in the form of a delayed draw term loan (“DDTL”) through January 12, 2026. The DDTL is repayable in quarterly installments of $625 thousand and prepayments are permitted without penalty. Any remaining outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility and the DDTL is due at maturity on July 22, 2029, subject to springing maturity dates unless the Company’s liquidity equals or exceeds the principal amount of each of the respective senior notes series that remain outstanding on each of the respective springing maturity dates as follows:

~~The Credit Facility is secured by first priority interests in (~~1) ~~substantially~~October ~~all~~17, ~~of the tangible and intangible personal property~~2027, ~~and~~if ~~equity~~any ~~interest~~portion of ~~CLIH and certain of~~ the Company’s ~~U.S.~~2021 ~~and~~Senior ~~foreign~~Notes ~~subsidiary~~Series ~~companies~~B ~~and~~due ~~(2)~~January ~~instruments~~12, ~~evidencing~~2028, ~~intercompany~~in ~~indebtedness owing to~~ the ~~Company,~~aggregate principal ~~CLIH~~amount ~~and certain~~ of ~~the Company’s U~~$15.S.0 ~~and~~million, ~~foreign~~remains ~~subsidiary~~outstanding ~~companies.~~on ~~Certain~~October of17, ~~our material~~2027, ~~wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors or co-borrowers under the Credit Facility~~ and ~~Senior Notes.~~

~~Under the Credit Facility, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”~~2) ~~plus~~March ~~2.00% to SOFR plus 3.00% will be applied to outstanding borrowings. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due at maturity on July 25~~28, ~~2026~~2028, ~~subject to springing maturity on July 12, 2025,~~ if any portion of the Company’s ~~2021~~2023 Senior Notes Series A due ~~January~~June 1228, ~~2026~~2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $4525.0 million, ~~remain~~remains outstanding on July 12, 2025, unless the Company’s liquidity equals or exceeds the principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes Series A that remained outstanding on such date. The available capacity at any point in time is reduced by outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit which totaled approximately $11.0 million at March 3128, ~~2025, resulting in an available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of approximately $108~~2028.0 million. Based on the available borrowing capacity, we believe the Company’s liquidity will equal or exceed the principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes Series A on July 12, 2025 and will not trigger the springing maturity. In addition to indebtedness under the Credit Facility, we had approximately $7.3 million of outstanding letters of credit and performance guarantees and bonds from other sources as of March 31, 2025.

Under the Credit Facility, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.00% to SOFR plus 3.00% will be applied to outstanding borrowings. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due at maturity on July 25, 2026, subject to springing maturity on July 12, 2025, if any portion of the Company’s 2021 Senior Notes Series A due January 12, 2026, in the aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million, remain outstanding on July 12, 2025, unless the Company’s liquidity equals or exceeds the principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes Series A that remained outstanding on such date. On July 12, 2025, our liquidity exceeded the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes Series and no springing maturity occurred. The available capacity at any point in time is reduced by outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit which totaled approximately $10.7 million at June 30, 2025, resulting in an available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of

In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, our leverage ratio is 1.31~~ and ~~our~~bonds ~~interest~~from ~~coverage~~other ~~ratio~~sources ~~is 6.86, each for the period ended March 31, 2025. We are in compliance with all covenants contained in our Credit Facility and Senior Notes~~ as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.

The Credit Facility and Senior Notes include a cross-default provision, whereby a default under one agreement may trigger a default in the other agreements.

The terms of the Credit Facility and Senior Notes require us to meet certain covenants, including, but not limited to, an interest coverage ratio (calculated as consolidated EBITDA divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (calculated as consolidated net indebtedness divided by consolidated EBITDA), where consolidated EBITDA (as defined in each agreement) and interest expense are calculated using the most recent four fiscal quarters. The Credit Facility has more restrictive covenants with a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and permits a maximum leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00. The Credit Facility allows non-cash charges such as impairment of assets, stock compensation and other non-cash charges to be added back in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. The terms of our Credit Facility also allow us to negotiate in good faith to amend any ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent of the agreement if any change in accounting principles would affect the computation of any financial ratio or covenant of the Credit Facility. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, our leverage ratio is 1.27 and our interest coverage ratio is 7.22, each for the period ended June 30, 2025. We are in compliance with all covenants contained in our Credit Facility and Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025.

We, along with CLIH as issuer, have senior notes outstanding that were issued through private placement transactions. Series A and Series B of the 2021 Senior Notes were issued in 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). Series A and Series B of the 2023 Senior Notes were issued in 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes are collectively the “Senior Notes”. We intend to repay the 2021 Senior Notes Series A at maturity in January 2026 using borrowings under our Renewed Credit Facility; therefore, we continue to classify them as long-term debt.

See Note 11 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information regarding interest rate swap agreements we have entered to fix the underlying risk-free rate on our Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

The estimated fair value of total debt at ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximated the book value of total debt. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs by calculating the sum of the discounted future interest and principal payments through the maturity date.

8. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Prior to January 2020, one of our subsidiaries provided a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of our Dutch employees (“Dutch Plan”) who were hired prior to 2000. This pension benefit was based on years of service and final pay or career average pay, depending on when the employee began participating. The Dutch Plan was curtailed prior to January 2020, and these employees have been moved into the Dutch defined contribution plan. However, the unconditional indexation for this group of participants continues for so long as they remain in active service with the Company.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic pension cost under the Dutch Plan (in thousands):

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We have been and may, from time to time, be named as a defendant in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. These include, but are not limited to, employment-related claims and contractual disputes or claims for personal injury or property damage which occur in connection with the provision of our services and products. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.

See Note 7 - Long-term Debt, net for amounts committed under letters of credit and performance guarantees and bonds.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Under the Company’s Credit Facility, the SOFR plus 2.00% to SOFR plus 3.00% will be applied to outstanding borrowings. See Note 7 - Long-term Debt, net for additional information. The Company has elected to apply the optional expedient for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. Accordingly, no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility with a SOFR rate will preclude cash flow hedging with existing London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) hedging instruments.

In August 2014, we entered into a swap agreement, that expired on August 29, 2024, with a notional amount of $25.0 million (“2014 Variable-to-Fixed Swap”), and the LIBOR portion of the interest rate was fixed at 2.5%. In February 2020, we entered into a second swap agreement with a notional amount of $25.0 million (“2020 Variable-to-Fixed Swap”), and the LIBOR portion of the interest rate was fixed at 1.3% through February 28, 2025. These interest rate swap agreements were terminated, dedesignated and settled in March 2021. The hedging relationship was highly effective; therefore, gains and losses on these swaps were reclassified into interest expense in accordance with the forecasted transactions or the scheduled interest payments on the Credit Facility. The 2014 Variable-to-Fixed Swap was fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2024, and the 2020 Variable-to-Fixed Swap was fully amortized through interest expense as of February 28, 2025.

In March 2021, we entered into a new forward interest rate swap agreement and carried the fair value of the terminated 2014 and 2020 Variable-to-Fixed Swaps into the new agreement in a “blend and extend” structured transaction. The purpose of this forward interest rate swap agreement is to fix the underlying risk-free rate, that would be associated with the anticipated issuance of new long-term debt by the Company in future periods. The forward interest rate swap would hedge the risk-free rate on forecasted long-term debt for a maximum of 11 years through March 2033. Risk associated with future changes in the 10-year LIBOR interest rates have been fixed up to a notional amount of $60.0 million with this instrument. The interest rate swap qualifies as a cash flow hedging instrument. This forward interest rate swap agreement was terminated and settled in April 2022. The hedging relationship is highly effective, therefore, the gain on the termination of the forward interest rate swap was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). On June 28, 2023, the Company issued the 2023 Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million at fixed interest rates of 7.25% and 7.50%. The Company has elected to apply the optional expedient for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. Accordingly, no outstanding balance on the 2023 Senior Notes will preclude cash flow hedging with the existing LIBOR hedging instrument. A net loss of $0.1 million is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2025. The unamortized balance on this swap will be 15

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s only financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis relate to certain aspects of the Company’s benefit plans. We use the market approach to determine the fair value of these assets and liabilities using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) with the assistance of third-party specialists. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Gains and losses related to the fair value changes in the financial assets and liabilities are recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

16On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act includes significant provisions, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the U.S. and international tax frameworks. We are evaluating the impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available, and uncertainty remains regarding the timing and interpretation by tax authorities in affected jurisdictions.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Core Laboratories Inc. by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the incremental effect of contingently issuable shares from performance and restricted stock awards, as determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

16. SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate our business in two segments. These complementary operating segments provide different services and products and utilize different technologies for evaluating and improving reservoir performance and increasing oil and gas recovery from new and existing fields.

•

Reservoir Description: Encompasses the characterization of petroleum reservoir rock and reservoir fluids samples to increase production and improve recovery of crude oil and natural gas from our clients’ reservoirs. We provide laboratory-based analytical and field services to characterize properties of crude oil and crude oil-derived products to the oil and gas industry. Services associated with these fluids include determining the quality and measuring the quantity of the reservoir fluids and their derived products, such as gasoline, diesel and biofuels. We also provide proprietary and joint industry studies based on these types of analyses and manufacture associated laboratory equipment. In addition, we provide reservoir description capabilities that support various activities associated with energy transition projects, including services that support carbon capture, utilization and storage, geothermal projects, and the evaluation and appraisal of mining activities around lithium and other elements necessary for energy storage.

•

Production Enhancement: Includes services and manufactured products associated with reservoir well completions, perforations, stimulation, production and well abandonment. We provide integrated diagnostic services to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of well completions and to develop solutions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of enhanced oil recovery projects.

We use the same accounting policies to prepare our operating segment results as are used to prepare our consolidated financial statements. All interest and other non-operating income (expense) is attributable to Corporate & Other and is not allocated to specific operating segments.

Outlook

~~The global demand for crude oil and natural gas is forecast to continue growing for both 2025 and the longer term.~~ According to the latest reports from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing nations (“OPEC+”), global demand for crude oil and natural gas is expected to continue increasing in 2025 and beyond. ~~However,~~Beginning in ~~the first week of~~ April 2025, ~~crude oil prices declined sharply after announcements that~~ the ~~United~~announcement ~~States~~of ~~would impose~~ new tariffs onby ~~imported~~the ~~goods~~U.S. ~~The announcement of new tariffs~~ has triggered global trade negotiations and has raised the level of uncertainty for global economies ~~and the likelihood of a global recession~~. Additionally, ~~on April 3, 2025,~~ OPEC+ affirmed their decision to proceed with a gradual return of 2.2 million barrels of daily production by removing the voluntary production restrictions established in 2023. The gradual increase in production from OPEC+ isbegan ~~scheduled to begin~~ in May 2025 with incremental increases in production expected through September 2026. OPEC also published an updated “compensation plan” which shows committed reductions in production for countries that produced volumes over their committed quotas since January 2024, which if complied with, should partially offset the scheduled increases to production quotas. In each announcement from OPEC+ regarding the production increases, they have also stated they will continue to hold monthly meetings to review market conditions, conformity, and compensation.

The uncertainty around the impact global trade negotiations may have on global economies combined with OPEC+’s announcement of increased production quotas has also increased the likelihood that global inventory levels of crude oil will rise, thereby contributing to weaker crude oil prices. The Company believes that activity levels associated with smaller-scale, short-cycle crude oil development projects will be more sensitive to a decrease and/or continued volatility of crude-oil prices. As such, we expect changes in crude oil prices will have a greater impact on drilling and completion activity levels in the U.S. onshore market. Outside the U.S., large-scale international oil and gas projects are expected to be more resilient to the near-term volatility of crude-oil prices, and the Company anticipates current client projects to continue as planned and additional projects scheduled this year to also be executed as planned.

The ongoing geopolitical conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, along with associated and expanded sanctions in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries continue to cause disruptions to traditional maritime supply chains and the trading of crude oil and derived products, such as diesel fuel. ~~The~~These ~~announcement~~disruptions ofto ~~expanded sanctions on January 10, 2025 by~~ the ~~United States, disrupted and temporarily decreased the~~ trading and maritime transportation of crude oil, ~~along~~also ~~with~~impact the demand for the Company's associated laboratory assay services. ~~Demand~~Although demand for the Company’s laboratory assay analysis services ~~recovered~~increased ~~somewhat~~ in ~~March~~the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2025, ~~however~~ these geopolitical conflicts and associated sanctions continue to create a higher level of uncertainty. The United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries continue to expand sanctions, export controls and other measures against Russia, Belarus, Iran and other countries, companies, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories, which may have further impact on the trading and movement of crude oil and derived products. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of these events, and any resulting government responses are fluid and beyond our control.

We continue to focus on large-scale core analyses and reservoir fluids characterization studies in most oil-producing regions across the globe, which include both newly developed fields and brownfield extensions in many offshore developments in both the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S., we are involved in projects with many of the onshore unconventional basins and offshore projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Outside the U.S., we continue to work on many small and large-scale projects analyzing reservoir rock and fluid samples in every major producing region of the world. Notable larger projects are in locations such as offshore South America, Australia, West Africa and the Middle East. Analysis and measurement services also

the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S., we are involved in projects with many of the onshore unconventional basins and offshore projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Outside the U.S., we continue to work on many small and large-scale projects analyzing reservoir rock and fluid samples in every major producing region of the world. Notable larger projects are in locations such as offshore South America, Australia, West Africa and the Middle East. Analysis and measurement services also occur in every major producing region of the world. Additionally, some of our major clients have increased their investment in projects to capture and sequester carbon dioxide ~~(“CO2”).~~in ~~The~~recent years that has expanded the Company’s activities on these projects ~~expanded~~beginning in 2024 and ~~are~~into ~~expected to continue expanding in~~ 2025 ~~and beyond~~.

Our major clients continue to focus on capital management, return on invested capital, free cash flow and returning capital to their shareholders, as opposed to a focus on production growth. The companies adopting value versus volume metrics tend to be the more technologically sophisticated operators and form the foundation of Core Lab’s worldwide client base. As oil and gas commodity prices stabilize in the mid-to-long-term, the Company expects our clients’ activities associated with increasing oil and gas reserves and production levels will continue to increase in the coming years.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is primarily tied to activities associated with the exploration, appraisal, development and production of oil, gas and derived products outside the U.S. For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, service revenue was $9596.12 million, aflat ~~decrease of 1%~~ year-over-year and an increase of 1% sequentially.

Sequentially, the ~~decrease~~increase in service revenue was primarily due to ~~lower~~a recovery in demand for laboratory assay services in international markets partially offset by ana ~~increase~~decrease in the U.S. market. As discussed above, the expanded sanctions announced in January 2025 ~~disrupted~~had caused a temporary disruption in the trading and maritime transportation of crude oil and derived products, and ~~as a result~~ demand for the associated laboratory assay services ~~provided~~declined byduring the ~~Company~~first ~~declined~~quarter of 2025. ~~This~~These ~~decline~~activities ~~was~~re-stabilized ~~partially~~in ~~offset~~the bysecond anquarter ~~increase~~of in2025 and demand for our ~~well~~associated ~~completion~~crude ~~diagnostic~~assay services inalso ~~the~~increased ~~U.S.~~during ~~and~~the ~~international~~three ~~markets~~months ~~compared~~ended toJune ~~the~~30, ~~prior quarter~~2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, service revenue was $191.3 million, a decrease of 1% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the disruptions to the maritime movement and trading of crude oil during the first quarter of 2025, as discussed above.

Product Sales Revenue

Product sales are primarily tied to supporting the U.S. onshore drilling and completion activities and bulk product sales to international markets. Product sales to international markets are typically sold and shipped in bulk, and revenue can vary from one quarter to another. For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, product sales revenue of $2833.59 million decreased 141% year-over-year and 13increased 19% sequentially. The ~~year-over-year~~ decrease was driven by alower ~~reduction~~drilling inand ~~product~~completion ~~sales~~activity toonshore ~~both~~in the U.S. ~~and~~for ~~international~~the ~~markets.~~three ~~One~~months ~~large~~ended ~~international~~June ~~order~~30, ~~scheduled for delivery in February~~ 2025, ~~was~~when ~~suspended~~compared ~~when~~to the ~~expanded~~same ~~sanctions~~period ~~were announced~~ in ~~January 2025.

Sequentially, the ~~decrease~~increase was due to a ~~lower~~higher ~~level~~levels of bulk shipments to international markets, ~~including~~as ~~the~~well ~~international~~as ~~order that was suspended, described above. However, the lower international product deliveries were partially offset by a~~ higher level of ~~product~~laboratory ~~sales~~instrumentation ~~in the U~~sales.~~S. onshore market.~~

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, product sales revenue was $62.4 million and decreased 7% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to decreased sales in the U.S. onshore markets as a result of lower average drilling and completion activity in 2025 compared to 2024, which was partially offset by increased international bulk product sales.

Cost of Services, excluding depreciation

Cost of services was $7374.01 million for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, a decrease of 1% year-over-year and ~~flat~~an increase of 1% sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential changes in cost of services was in line with changes in service revenue. Cost of services expressed as a percentage of service revenue was 77% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, ~~comparable~~compared to 78% for the same period in the prior year~~, and compared to 76% in the prior quarter~~. ~~The~~Cost ~~year-over-year changes in cost~~ of services as a percentage of service revenue ~~was~~remained inrelatively ~~line~~flat ~~with changes in service revenue~~sequentially.

Cost of product sales expressed as a percentage of product sales revenue was 9387% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, ~~comparable~~compared to 82% for the same period in the prior year and compared to ~~101~~93% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year changes in cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales ~~was~~increased inprimarily ~~line~~due to higher absorption of fixed costs on a lower revenue base, along with ~~changes~~a write-down of certain inventory of approximately $0.8 million in ~~product~~the ~~sales~~three ~~revenue~~months ended June 30, 2025.

Return to Index

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cost of product sales was $56.1 million, a decrease of 5% compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of product sales expressed as a percentage of product sales revenue was 90% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 87% from the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales revenue was due to higher absorption of fixed costs on a lower revenue base and the write-down of certain inventory as discussed above.

General and Administrative Expense, excluding depreciation

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense includes corporate management and centralized administrative services that benefit our operations.

G&A expense for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, was $1310.65 million, which increased 2% or $10.92 million, compared to the same period in 2024.

24G&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $3.2 million compared to the prior quarter primarily due to the acceleration of stock compensation expense for retirement eligible executives of $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by changes in employee compensations costs in these periods.

~~Return~~For the six months ended June 30, 2025, G&A expense was $24.1 million compared to ~~Index~~$22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase was due to increased license fees and implementation costs associated with a new global human capital management system and outside consulting fees as discussed previously, and changes in employee compensation costs.

G&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased $4.6 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to the acceleration of stock compensation expense for retirement eligible executives of $3.5 million in 2025. In addition, adjustments to revalue performance awards based on expected performance criteria were $0.9 million higher in 2025 compared to 2024.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, was $2.67 million and decreased $0.85 million or 2416% year-over-year and ~~was~~slightly ~~relatively~~increased ~~flat~~ compared to the prior quarter. ~~The~~For ~~year-over-year~~the ~~decrease~~six ismonths ~~due~~ended toJune ~~lower~~30, 2025, interest ~~rates~~expense ~~and~~decreased ~~lower~~$1.3 ~~average~~million ~~borrowings~~or ~~on our bank revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025~~20%.

The year-over-year decreases are primarily due to lower average borrowings on our bank revolving credit facility during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Slight increase sequentially is primarily due to changes in blended variable interest rates on our bank revolving credit facility during these periods.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act includes significant provisions, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the U.S. and international tax frameworks. We are evaluating the impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available, and uncertainty remains regarding the timing and interpretation by tax authorities in affected jurisdictions. These legislative changes could have an adverse impact on our future effective tax rate, tax assets and liabilities, including our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and cash payments for tax.

Reservoir Description

Reservoir Description operations are closely correlated with trends in international and offshore activity levels, with approximately 80% of its revenue sourced from existing producing fields, development projects and movement of crude oil products outside the U.S.

Revenue from the Reservoir Description operating segment of $8086.93 million for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 ~~decreased~~relatively 4%flat year-over-year and increased 7% sequentially.

Sequentially, the increase in operating income and operating margins was primarily due to 1) incremental revenue of $5.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025; 2) insurance recovery associated with the fire at the Aberdeen, U.K. facility of $2.6 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2025, and no such gain in the prior quarter; 3) a $2.4 million increase in the first quarter of 2025, associated with to the acceleration of stock compensation expense for retirement eligible executives; and 4) a total charge of $2.9 million associated with employee severance, facility consolidation and asset write-down recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and no such transactions in the current quarter.

Operating income of $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $3.8 million from the same period in the prior year. Operating margins were 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 11% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating income and operating margins was primarily attributable to 1) decremental revenue of $3.3 million in 2025; 2) a different mix of revenue with a higher level of manufactured equipment sales that yield lower margin compared to service revenue; and 3) a total charge of $2.9 million associated with employee severance, facility consolidation and asset write-down recorded in 2025 compared to $1.5 million recorded in the same period in prior year.

Production Enhancement

Production Enhancement operations are largely focused on complex completions in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in the U.S. as well as conventional projects across the globe. U.S. onshore drilling and completion activities typically experience a seasonal decline at end of the year with activity levels increasing at the beginning of the year. Average rig count in the U.S. land market for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, was down by 54% year-over-year and ~~relatively~~3% ~~flat~~ sequentially. International rig count was down ~~over 6~~7% year-over-year and ~~down~~relatively 2%flat sequentially.

Revenue from the Production Enhancement operating segment of $4243.79 million for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, decreased 61% year-over-year and increased 13% sequentially. Year-over-year, the decrease was primarily due to lower product sales in the U.S. land market. ~~and~~This ~~decline~~decrease was substantially offset by increased revenue in bulk shipments in the international market. ~~These~~and ~~decreases were partially offset by~~ a growth in well completion diagnostic services in the U.S. and international markets.

Year-over-year, the decrease in operating income and margins was primarily driven by a total charge of $1.3 million associated with employee severance, facility consolidation and inventory write-downs in 2025, compared to $0.3 million in 2024. Sequentially, the increase in operating income and margins was

Return to Index

primarily due to 1) incremental revenue of $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, 2) certain employee severance and facility consolidation costs of $0.5 million recorded in the prior quarter, and no such transaction in the current quarter; and 3) a $1.1 million increase the first quarter of 2025, due to the acceleration of stock compensation expense for retirement of eligible executives. These increases partially offset by inventory write-downs of $0.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025, no such transaction recorded in the prior quarter.

Operating income of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $1.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating margins for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were 5% compared to operating margins of 7% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating income and margins was primarily due to a higher absorption of fixed costs on a lower revenue base and a higher severance and inventory write-down as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically financed our activities through cash on hand, cash flows from operations, bank credit facilities, equity financing and the issuance of debt. Cash flows from operating activities provide the primary source of funds to finance operating needs, capital expenditures, dividends and our share repurchase program. Our ability to maintain and grow our operating income and cash flow depends, to a large extent, on continued investing activities. We believe our future cash flows from operations, supplemented by our borrowing capacity and the ability to issue additional equity and debt, should be sufficient to fund our debt requirements, capital expenditures, working capital, dividends, share repurchase program and future acquisitions. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the availability of debt and equity markets.

27We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware. Therefore, we conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries. Our cash availability is largely dependent upon the ability of our subsidiaries to pay cash dividends or otherwise distribute or advance funds to us and on the terms and conditions of our existing and future credit arrangements. There are no restrictions preventing any of our subsidiaries from repatriating earnings, except for the unrepatriated earnings of our Russian subsidiary which are not expected to be distributed in the foreseeable future, and there are no restrictions or income taxes associated with distributing cash to the parent company through loans or advances. As of June 30, 2025, $21.9 million of our $31.2 million of cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $4.5 million include a $2.0 million net reduction in long-term debt, $0.5 million for quarterly dividends and $2.0 million for the repurchase of common stock. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $4.1 million were primarily driven by a $3.0 million net reduction in long-term debt, $0.5 million for quarterly dividends and $0.5 million in costs associated with equity transactions.33

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 131,598 shares of our common stock for $2.0 million, including rights to 2,123 shares of our common stock to satisfy personal tax liabilities of participants in our stock-based compensation plan for an aggregate purchase price of $32 thousand.

We utilize the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow to evaluate our cash flows and results of operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less cash paid for capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the cash available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and operating activities.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $7.7 million include a $2.0 million net reduction in long-term debt, quarterly dividends of $0.9 million, and $4.8 million used to repurchase the Company’s common stock.

~~Senior~~We ~~Notes~~utilize the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow to evaluate our cash flows and results of operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less cash paid for capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the cash available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and operating activities. Free cash flow is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation nor construed as an alternative to operating income, ~~Credit~~net ~~Facility~~income (loss) or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for distribution because we may have other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Moreover, since free cash flow is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and ~~Available~~thus ~~Future~~is ~~Liquidity~~susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, free cash flow as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

We, along with our wholly owned subsidiary Core Laboratories (U.S.) Interests Holdings, Inc. (“CLIH”) as issuer, have senior notes outstanding that were issued through private placement transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of Core Laboratories Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A complete discussion of our controls and procedures is included in Core Laboratories Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, at the reasonable assurance level.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fiscal quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report or our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. For a detailed discussion of the risk factors that should be understood by any investor contemplating investment in our securities, please refer to “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in Core Laboratories Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to the risk factors identified in our 2024 Annual Report, we updated the following risk factor:

for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to the risk factors identified in our 2024 Annual Report, we updated the following risk factor:

Tariffs and other trade measures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. Our input costs for raw materials and other goods, such as steel, electronic components, chemical reagents and laboratory equipment, are adversely affected by tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on products imported into the United States. Additionally, we sell our products internationally and our product sales may be subject to any retaliatory measures by other countries. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on the goods we purchase or the products we sell could increase our costs and the price of our products and services. To the extent we are unable to pass all or a portion of these cost increases on to our customers, such cost increases could adversely affect our results of operations.

Additional tariffs, further trade restrictions and retaliatory trade measures could disrupt our supply chain and logistics, restrict or limit the availability of goods or supplies, cause adverse financial impacts due to volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and inflationary pressures on raw materials. It may be time-consuming and expensive for us to alter our business operations to adapt to or comply with any changes in international trade policies and agreements and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any potential impact will depend on future developments with respect to trade policy and the results of trade negotiations, all of which are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for our products and services and the demand for crude oil and gas. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
