The company, which provides oilfield services in the Middle East and Africa, before the bell posted second-quarter net income of $44 million, or 43 cents a share, up from $15.2 million, or 16 cents a share, a year earlier.

Chief Executive Sherif Foda said the company maintained its presence across all operating units, with no interruption to any customer activities despite continued conflict in the region.
"Higher activity levels and disciplined execution translated into pronounced margin expansion, record profitability and robust cash generation," Chief Financial Officer Stefan Angeli added.
