Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this &#x201c;Amendment&#x201d;) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2025 (the &#x201c;Original Report&#x201d;), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#x201c;SEC&#x201d;) on
March 4, 2026 (the &#x201c;Original Filing Date&#x201d;). The purpose of this Amendment is to provide the information required by Items
10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K, which was previously omitted from the Original Report in reliance on General Instruction G(3)
to Form 10-K.This
Amendment also amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Report to include as exhibits the new certifications required by Rule 13a-14(a)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#x201c;Exchange Act&#x201d;), pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure
with respect to Item 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including
the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 because no financial statements are included in this Amendment.Except
as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Report. The Original Report continues to speak as of the date of
the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent
to the Original Filing Date other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction
with the Original Report and our other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.As
used herein, the terms &#x201c;Company,&#x201d; &#x201c;Nine,&#x201d; &#x201c;we,&#x201d; &#x201c;us&#x201d; and &#x201c;our&#x201d; refer to Nine
Energy Service, Inc., either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires.</dei:AmendmentDescription>
