FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements contained in all parts of this document that are
not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Dril-Quip,
Inc. (the “Company” or “Dril-Quip”). You can identify the Company’s forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “project,” “believe” and similar expressions, or by the Company’s discussion of strategies or
trends. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no
assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements include the following
types of information and statements as they relate to the Company:
•
•
future operating results and cash flow;
scheduled, budgeted and other future capital expenditures;
• working capital requirements;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the need for and the availability of expected sources of liquidity;
the introduction into the market of the Company’s future products;
the Company's ability to deliver its backlog in a timely fashion;
the market for the Company’s existing and future products;

compliance with present and future environmental regulations and costs associated with environmentally related
penalties, capital expenditures, remedial actions and proceedings;
effects of pending legal proceedings;
changes in customers’ future product and service requirements that may not be cost effective or within the Company’s
capabilities; and
•
future operations, financial results, business plans and cash needs.
These statements are based on assumptions and analysis in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Company believes were appropriate in the
circumstances when the statements were made. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and
uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those
described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company continues to face many risks and
uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties
discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report and the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the volatility of oil and natural gas prices;
the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry;
uncertainties associated with the United States and worldwide economies;
uncertainties regarding political tensions in the Middle East, South America, Africa and elsewhere;

competitive products and pricing pressures;
fluctuations in foreign currency, including those attributable to the Brexit;
the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to set and maintain production levels and
pricing;
the Company’s reliance on significant customers;
creditworthiness of the Company’s customers;
fixed-price contracts;
changes in general economic, market or business conditions;
access to capital markets;
negative outcome of litigation, threatened litigation or government proceedings;
terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances; and
changes to, and differing interpretations of, tax laws with respect to our operations and subsidiaries.
Many of such factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Any of the factors, or a combination of these
factors, could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking
statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results
based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels. Every forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the
particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Overview and Industry Outlook
Both the market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially
dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make
capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. The level of capital expenditures has generally been
dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply
and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental
regulation, tax policies and the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels
and prices. The Brent crude oil price reached a high of $115.19 per barrel in June 2014 and then began to drop sharply during
2015, and continued to drop in 2016, reaching a low of $26.01 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016, before rebounding to end
the year at $54.96 per barrel. Oil prices began a slow recovery in 2017, with an average price of $54.15 compared to an
average price of $43.67 in 2016. During 2018, crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel and
ending the year at a low of $50.57 per barrel. According to the December 2018 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook
published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent Crude oil prices averaged
approximately $71.34 per barrel in 2018 and the price is forecasted to average $61.00 per barrel in 2019 and $65.00 per barrel
in 2020.
On November 30, 2016, OPEC met and decided to cut production by approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. The
reduced production helped to increase the average price per barrel between 2016 and 2017. Capital expenditures are also
dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the availability, expiration date and price of leases, the
discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves, technological advances and alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration
and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have historically been
characterized by significant volatility. Future declines in oil and gas prices may further adversely affect the willingness of some
oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations, which could have an
adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In its December 2018 Short-Term
Energy Outlook, the EIA projected United States crude oil production averaged an estimated 10.9 million barrels per day in
2018, with an average of 11.5 million barrels per day in the month of November, and is forecasted to average 12.1 million
barrels per day in 2019.
Brent crude oil prices per barrel for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 are summarized below:

The volatility in Brent crude oil prices over the past three years continues to have a significant effect on major integrated,
large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies’ capital expenditure budgets. The Company expects continued
pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities, particularly
as they relate to offshore activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and
gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of products and services, or reduce
their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. Lower drilling and production
activity had a negative impact on the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2018 and is expected to improve
slightly in 2019. A prolonged delay in the recovery of commodity prices could also lead to further material impairment charges
to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. See “Item
1A. Risk Factors—A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our
revenue and income.”
Recent Developments
As a result of continued unfavorable offshore market conditions and low commodity prices, the Company engaged in a
strategic review with a third-party firm in 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for
recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025.

Additionally, the Company pursued a global transformation, which includes a reduction in workforce, realignment of facilities
and restructuring of operations. We expect this transformation to allow us to maintain our global footprint in key markets,
while supporting an integrated supply chain model that we expect to create more flexibility and allow us to continue serving
our customers. The Company expects to complete the strategic restructuring by the end of 2019.
Products and Services
Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale
of drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance
and rental tools during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. Additionally, the Company earns service revenues
when rework and reconditioning services are provided. In 2018, the Company derived 69% of its revenues from the sale of its
products, 19% of its revenues from services and 12% of its revenues from leasing rental tools, compared to 77%, 14% and 9%
for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2017, respectively, and 80%, 12% and 8% for products, services and leasing
rental tools in 2016, respectively. Service and leasing revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because
increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services during installation and
rental of running tools. However, existing customer equipment can be used in certain circumstances, which creates demand for
services with no correlating product sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 61% of
its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2018, 55% in 2017 and 66% in 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic
revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 39% of the Company’s total
revenues in 2018, 45% in 2017 and 34% in 2016.
Product contracts are typically negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not
typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the customer as a condition of the sale
of the Company’s products. The demand for products and services is generally based on worldwide economic conditions in the
oil and gas industry, and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the
Company’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change or termination at the option of the
customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs
necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Company’s
products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including global oil prices, competitive pricing pressure, the level of
utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market
conditions.
Products
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and markets subsea equipment, surface equipment
and offshore rig equipment. The Company’s products are used primarily to explore for oil and gas from offshore drilling rigs,
such as floating rigs and jack-up rigs, and for drilling and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, tension leg
platforms (TLPs), Spars and moored vessels such as FPSOs. TLPs are floating production platforms that are connected to the
ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers. A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven times longer than
its diameter and is anchored in place. FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels. The
TIW products are used in the drilling and production for oil and gas both onshore and offshore.
Subsea Equipment. Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas wells around the
world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and
associated pipe, production riser systems, subsea production trees, liner hangers, safety valves, subsea control systems and
subsea manifolds.
Subsea wellheads are pressure-containing vessels that are sometimes referred to as a “wellhead housing” and are made
from forged and machined steel. A casing hanger, also made of steel, lands inside the wellhead housing and suspends casing
(pipe) downhole. As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter casing strings are installed, each suspended by an
independent casing hanger. Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs, either semi-submersible or
drillship types, or TLPs and Spars. The Company’s flagship subsea wellhead, called the SS-15® Subsea Wellhead System, is
rated for 15,000 psi internal pressure and is offered to the industry in a variety of configurations. The Company’s newest
wellhead product, the SS-20TM BigBoreTM II-e Subsea Wellhead System, is designed to contain higher pressures (20,000
pounds per square inch (psi)) and provides the ability to reduce the number of casing strings in the well design by increasing
load carrying and pressure capacities of casing hangers and associated installation tools.
Mudline hanger systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support the weight of the various casing strings at the
ocean floor while drilling a well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an orderly manner at the ocean
floor after the well has been drilled, and subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it back
vertically to a subsequently installed platform or by installing a shallow water subsea tree.
7
Large diameter weld-on specialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used primarily in offshore wells drilled from
floating drilling rigs, jack-up rigs, fixed platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or large
diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a more rapid connection than other methods of connecting
lengths of pipe. Connectors may be sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to sections of Company or customer
supplied pipe. Dril-Quip’s weld-on specialty connectors are designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick,
convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity compatible with casing strength.
Production riser systems are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Production risers provide a
vertical conduit from the subsea wellhead up to a TLP, Spar or FPSO floating at the surface.
A subsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a wellhead connector, control equipment and various other
components installed on a subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a
producing well. Subsea trees may be used as stand alone satellite wells or multiple well template mounted and cluster
arrangements. These types typically produce via a subsea gathering system of manifolds and flowlines to a central control point
located on a platform, TLP, Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly important method for
producing wells located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The
Company is an established manufacturer of complicated dual-bore production trees. In addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a
patented single bore (SingleBoreTM) subsea completion system which features a hydraulic valve mechanism instead of a
wireline-installed mechanism that allows the operator to plug the tubing hanger annulus remotely from the surface via a
hydraulic control line and subsequently unplug it when the well is put on production. This mechanism eliminates the need for
an expensive multibore installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation time. The patented horizontal
bore (HorizontalBoreTM) subsea production component accommodates numerous completion configuration possibilities and
features large vertical access drill-through for passage of drill-bits, submersible pumps, coil tubing strings and Dril-Quip's
slimline casing hanger system. Dril-Quip’s subsea production trees are used in ultra-deepwater applications. These trees
feature remote flowline and control connections, utilizing remotely operated intervention tools. The Company’s subsea
production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
A subsea control system provides control of subsea trees, manifolds, ocean floor process equipment and pipeline
protection equipment. Dril-Quip has developed a variety of subsea control systems, including fiber optic based multiplex
control systems that provide real time access to tree functions and tree equipment status. The control system can be packaged
for shallow water or deepwater applications. Dril-Quip also manufactures control systems used in the installation, retrieval and
workover of production equipment.
A subsea manifold is a structure located on the ocean floor consisting of valves, flowline connections and a control
module used to collect and control the flow of oil and gas from subsea wells for delivery to a floating production unit or
terminal.
Downhole Tools. Downhole tools are primarily comprised of liner hangers, production packers, safety valves and
specialty downhole tools. A liner hanger is used to hang-off and seal casing into a previously installed casing string in the well
bore, and can provide a means of tying back the liner for production to surface. Dril-Quip has developed a state-of-the-art liner
hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of difficult well applications, resulting in improved industry
recognition and market opportunities. In addition to liner hanger systems that are well suited for onshore use, TIW offers
expandable liner hanger systems that are typically utilized in challenging environments such as deepwater or High Pressure,
High Temperature (HPHT) applications.
A safety valve is used to provide a quick, sure shutoff in the drill string at the drill floor and prevent flow up the drill pipe.
The TIW Kelly Valve is located in the drill string below the kelly, the uppermost component of the drill string, and is designed
to be closed under pressure to remove the kelly.
Surface Equipment. Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, TLPs and
Spars. Included in the Company’s surface equipment product line are platform wellheads, platform production trees and riser
tensioners. Dril-Quip’s development of platform wellheads and platform production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its
existing subsea wellhead and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.
Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and
sealed at the platform deck to suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing wellhead systems
with operational time-saving features which can be used in high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and
production applications.
After installation of a wellhead, a platform production tree, consisting of gate valves, a surface wellhead connector,
controls, tree cap and associated equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas production. Platform
production trees are similar to subsea production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than
8
hydraulically actuated, valves and connectors. Platform wellheads and platform production trees and associated equipment are
designed and manufactured in accordance with customer specifications.
Riser tensioners are used on a floating drilling/production vessel to provide a continuous and reliable upward force on a
riser string that is independent of the movement of the floating vessel.
Offshore Rig Equipment. Offshore rig equipment includes drilling riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. The
drilling riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the
telescopic joint, which connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at top of the riser at the rig and provides a means
to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector, which provides a
means for remote connection and disconnection of the blowout preventer stack to or from the wellhead. Diverters are used to
provide protection from shallow gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation.
Wellhead connectors are used on production riser systems and drilling riser systems. They are also used on both TLPs
and Spars, which are installed in deepwater applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs, rig
upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Drilling risers, wellhead connectors and diverters are generally designed and manufactured to
customer specifications.
Certain of the Company's products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that
can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business involves
numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.”
Services
The Company provides services to customers, including technical advisory assistance as well as rework and
reconditioning services on its customer-owned products. These services are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations
and represented approximately 19% of revenues in 2018 compared to 14% in 2017 and 12% in 2016.
Technical Advisory Assistance. Dril-Quip generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide
technical advisory assistance to the customer, if requested, in the installation of its products. The customer is not obligated to
utilize these services and may use its own personnel or a third party to perform these services. Technical advisory assistance
services performed by the Company are negotiated and sold separately from the Company’s products. These services are not a
prerequisite to the sale of the Company’s products as its products are fully functional on a stand alone basis. The Company’s
technicians provide assistance in the onsite installation of the Company’s products and are available on a 24-hour call out from
the Company’s facilities located in Houston, Texas; Midland, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Youngsville, Louisiana;
Villahermosa, Mexico; Anaco, Venezuela; Shushufindi, Ecuador; Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland; Szolnok, Hungary;
Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Alexandria, Egypt; Takoradi, Ghana; Tianjin, China; Doha,
Qatar; Singapore; and Perth, Australia.
Reconditioning. The Company provides reconditioning of its customer-owned products at its facilities in Houston, Texas;
Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Alexandria, Egypt;
Takoradi, Ghana; Balikpapan, Indonesia; Tianjin, China; Doha, Qatar; Singapore; and Perth, Australia. The Company does not
typically service, repair or recondition its competitors’ products.
Leasing
The Company rents running and installation tools for use in installing its products. These tools are required to install and
retrieve the Company’s products that are purchased by customers. Rental or purchase of running tools is not a condition of the
sale of the Company’s products and is contracted for separately from product sales and other services offered by the Company.
Running tools are available from Dril-Quip’s locations in Houston, Texas; Midland, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
Youngsville, Louisiana; Villahermosa, Mexico; Anaco, Venezuela; Shushufindi, Ecuador; Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland;
Szolnok, Hungary; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Beverwijk, Holland; Singapore; and Perth, Australia. These rentals
are provided from the Company's worldwide locations and represented approximately 12% of revenues in 2018 compared to
9% in 2017 and 8% in 2016.

Manufacturing
Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; and Macae, Brazil. See
“Item 2. Properties—Manufacturing Facilities.” Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of product quality through the
implementation of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) methodologies, as well as through the use of quality control
specialists.
The Company’s Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae manufacturing plants are ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO
9001 certified. The Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae plants are also licensed to applicable American Petroleum
Institute (API) product specifications and are API Q1, 9th edition and APIQ2 compliant. The Metallurgical Laboratory at the
Houston operations is ISO 17025 certified for Crack Tip Opening Displacement, Hardness, Tensile and Charpy V-Notch
testing. Dril-Quip works to maintain its high standards of product quality through the use of precision measuring equipment
such as Gage Masters, Faro Arms, Coordinate Measuring Machine and the application of APQP. APQP entails concurrent
engineering principles to identify and address potential quality concerns early in the product development process. The
Company has the capability to manufacture its products globally and continues to have local capability in key critical markets.
The Company’s primary raw material is cast steel ingots, from which it produces steel shaped forgings at its forging and
heat treatment facility in Houston, Texas. The Company routinely purchases steel ingots from multiple suppliers on a purchase
order basis and does not have any long-term supply contracts. The Company’s Houston facility has the capability to provide
forgings and heat treatment for its Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae facilities. Prolonged periods of low demand in the
market for drilling and production equipment could have a greater effect on the Company than on certain of its competitors that
have not made such large capital investments in their facilities.
Dril-Quip’s manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools and
equipment, which contribute to the Company’s product quality and timely delivery. The Company has also developed a cost
effective, in-house machine tool rebuild and refurbishment capability, which produces machine upgrades with customized
features to enhance the economic manufacturing of its specialized products. This strategy provides the added advantage of in-
house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these machines.
Customers
The Company’s principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies.
Drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of the Company’s customer base. The
Company’s customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in exploration and production.
The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2018, the Company’s top 15 customers
represented approximately 56% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of
total revenues. In 2017 and 2016, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 49% and 75% of total revenues,
respectively, and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% and 16% of total revenues,
respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in 2018, 2017 or 2016. The number and variety
of the Company’s products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount of that customer’s capital
expenditure budget devoted to exploration and production and on the results of competitive bids for major projects.
Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial
portion of revenues in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the
loss of one or more of its significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the Company’s
results of operations.
Backlog
Backlog consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, signed contract or letter of
award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically, the
Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The
Company’s product backlog was approximately $270.0 million and $207.3 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. The backlog at the end of 2018 represents an increase of approximately $62.7 million, or 30%, from the end of
2017. The Company’s backlog balance during 2018 was negatively impacted by translation adjustments of approximately $3.1
million, due primarily to the weakening of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, and approximately $11.7 million in
cancellations.
During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser
(TTR) systems and related services for the development of the Ca Rong Do Project (CRD Project) located offshore Vietnam
operated by Repsol with the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project is included within the
backlog balance presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements; however, due to ongoing territorial
discussions between China and Vietnam, the CRD Project may experience continued delays or cancellation.
10
The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2018 product backlog by December 31,
2019. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2018 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and
manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-
Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. The contract was valued
at $650.0 million, net of Brazilian taxes, at exchange rates in effect at that time (approximately $342.2 million based on the
December 31, 2018 exchange rate of 3.8748 Brazilian real to 1.00 U.S. dollar) if all the equipment under the contract was
ordered. Amounts are included in the Company's backlog as purchase orders or letters of award are received. As of December
31, 2018, the Company’s backlog included $9.3 million of purchase orders under this Petrobras contract. As part of an
amendment to extend the term of the contract, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately
$25.3 million (based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of December 31, 2018, Petrobras has issued a total of three
purchase orders (one during each year of 2016, 2017 and 2018) totaling the committed amount. The Company cannot provide
assurance that Petrobras will order all of the equipment under the contract. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject
to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”
Marketing and Sales
Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly through its sales personnel in multiple domestic
and international locations. In addition, in certain foreign markets the Company utilizes independent sales agents or
representatives to enhance its marketing and sales efforts.
Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has sales agents or representatives are Trinidad, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi
Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Although they do not have authority to contractually bind the Company, these
representatives market the Company’s products in their respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company
advertises its products and services in trade and technical publications targeted to its customer base. The Company also
participates in industry conferences and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of its products.
The Company’s customers generally order products on a purchase order basis. Orders, other than those considered to be
long-term projects, are typically filled within twelve months after receipt, depending on the type of product and whether it is
sold out of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the Company’s larger, more complex products,
such as subsea production trees, drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars, can take a year or more to complete.
The primary factors influencing a customer’s decision to purchase the Company’s products are the quality, reliability and
reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery. For large drilling and production system orders,
project management teams coordinate customer needs with the Company’s engineering, manufacturing and service
organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors.
A portion of the Company’s business consists of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering
technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number
of such projects in any year may fluctuate. The Company’s profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making
accurate and cost effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors, including
availability of raw materials, changes in customer requirements and governmental regulations, can adversely affect the
Company’s performance on individual projects, with potential material adverse effects on project profitability.
Product Development and Engineering
The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as exploration and drilling expand into
more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments include water depths in excess of 10,000 feet, well
pressures exceeding 15,000 psi, well flowing temperatures beyond 350oF (Fahrenheit) and mixed flows of oil, gas and water
that may also be highly corrosive and impact material properties.
Since its founding in 1981, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing development efforts to generate new
products and improve existing products. When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most
technologically advanced version for a particular application to establish its reputation and qualification in that product.
Thereafter, the Company leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to produce less costly and
complex versions of the product for less demanding applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the
overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but also operating, installation and maintenance
costs associated with its products.
In the 1980s, the Company introduced its first product, specialty connectors, as well as mudline suspension systems,
template systems and subsea wellheads. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of new products, including diverters,
wellhead connectors, SingleBore™ subsea trees, improved severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform valves,
platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser systems, drilling riser systems and TLP and Spar production riser
systems. Since 2000, Dril-Quip has introduced multiple new products, including liner hangers, subsea control systems, subsea
11
manifolds, riser tensioners, and enhanced versions of subsea wellhead connectors and Dril-Quip’s industry leading subsea
wellhead system(s).
Historically, Dril-Quip’s product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas; however,
such activities have gradually increased in other regions, such as Aberdeen, Scotland, Singapore and Brazil. In addition to the
work of its product development staff, the Company’s application engineering staff provides technical services to customers in
connection with the design and sales of its products. The Company’s ability to develop new products and maintain
technological advantages is important to its future success. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors-Our business could be adversely
affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.”
The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and
marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing
product development and manufacturing activities, Dril-Quip’s policy has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions
concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to the
Company and almost all of the Company’s products have components that are covered by patents.
In 2018, major production milestones were met for several key global projects. In the North Sea, the last of an initial
18 subsea completion trees for a subsea field development project was successfully installed. Following the success of the
aforementioned project, Dril-Quip was awarded a front-end engineering and design contract for a subsea production system
project located off the coast of South America. Additionally, subsea trees were delivered and installed for a field development
project off the coast of Gabon. Also, off the coast of Trinidad, multiple deepwater subsea wellhead systems were installed with
the support of a service facility in Trinidad, continuing Dril-Quip's aftermarket support presence in the region established the
previous year. With the completion of engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing of dry tree equipment, Dril-Quip was
able to support the tieback of multiple wells for projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Engineering, manufacturing, assembly and test
work continued on additional dry tree projects in the Company's backlog. The requirements of the equipment in these projects
represent significant technological challenges, the development of which is serving to enhance the Company's overall
engineering capabilities.
Dril-Quip’s continued efforts in developing technologically advanced products enable Dril-Quip to offer products for
the harshest environments. The latest subsea wellhead system has been accepted by a major oil company for its high pressure,
high temperature applications, further strengthening Dril-Quip’s position in the subsea market.
In an ongoing test program, the Company continued the utilization of its recently constructed high-load horizontal test
machine and fatigue test machine for rigorous validation testing of its existing specialty connector product line. Active
engineering programs have been initiated in-house to continue development in specialty connector product enhancements as
well as new product development. This high-load horizontal test machine has been instrumental in the development and
qualification of our latest 20,000 psi wellhead system and riser connector that utilize Dril-Quip proprietary locking and sealing
profiles. Engineering development efforts are on-going in subsea production systems.
In early 2016, the Company announced that it is establishing a research and development facility in Singapore that
focuses on materials and products suitable for HPHT applications. The new facility serves as an additional hub for research and
development activities for the Company.
Dril-Quip has numerous U.S. registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip®, Quik-Thread®, Quik-Stab®, Multi-
Thread®, MS-15®, SS-15®, SS-10®, SU-90®, DX® and TIW®. The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries
where such registration is deemed material.
Although in the aggregate, the Company’s patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing
and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or
trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Dril-Quip® trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret
protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with
its employees and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information
or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets.
Competition
Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers and suppliers of exploration and production equipment.
Several of its primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater
capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many instances, have been engaged in the manufacturing business
for a much longer period of time than the Company. The Company competes principally with the petroleum production
equipment segments of Baker Hughes, a GE Company; Schlumberger, Ltd.; TechnipFMC plc; and Aker Solutions.
Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of the Company’s competitors have the ability to provide
“turnkey” services for drilling and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to the exclusion of
12
Dril-Quip’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of
drilling and production equipment.” The Company also competes to a lesser extent with a number of other companies in
various products. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum drilling and production equipment markets are quality,
reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery.
Employees
The total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 2017 was 2,019. Of those 2,019 employees, 1,095
were located in the United States. As a result of worldwide reductions in workforce and natural attrition, the total number of
the Company's employees as of December 31, 2018 was 1,926, a 5% reduction from December 31, 2017. Of those 1,926
employees, 946 were located in the United States. As a result of the Company's ongoing efforts to control costs, we expect to
reduce approximately 15% of our workforce in 2019, resulting in $7.3 million in severance costs being recognized in the year
ended December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the Company's employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements,
and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
The Company’s operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. While the Company believes that its
wage and salary rates are competitive and that its relationship with its labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages
and salaries paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of the Company’s labor force, increases in the wage and
salary rates paid by the Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by the
Company from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the
Company could be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be impaired. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Loss
of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.”
Governmental Regulations
Many aspects of the Company’s operations are affected by political developments and are subject to both domestic and
foreign governmental regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, the discharge of materials into the
environment from our manufacturing or other facilities, health and worker safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise
relating to human health and environmental protection. In addition, the Company depends on the demand for its services from
the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to
the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to onshore and offshore operations. The adoption of
laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could
adversely affect the Company’s operations by limiting demand for the Company’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our
operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our
costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”
In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of the environment. Legislation to regulate
emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging
policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation.
In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of
international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate
Change Conferences. In November 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) was held in Paris with the
objective to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 20 C
(Celsius), from all nations, regardless of size. The Paris Agreement, signed by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, requires countries to
review and “represent a progression” in their nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction
goals, every five years. However, in August 2017, the United States informed the United Nations of its intent to withdraw from
the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November 2020. Also, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions
and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA
expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The
results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA.
Moreover, specific design and operational standards apply to U.S. outer continental shelf vessels, rigs, platforms, vehicles,
structures and equipment.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulates the design and operation of well control
and other equipment at offshore production sites, among other requirements. BSEE has adopted stricter requirements for subsea
drilling production equipment. In April 2016, BSEE published a final blowout preventer systems and well control rule, which
focuses on blowout preventer requirements and includes reforms in well design, well control, casing, cementing, real-time
monitoring and subsea containment, among other things. BSEE also finalized a rule in September 2016 concerning production
safety systems for oil and natural gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf. However, in December 2017, BSEE published
a proposed rule that would revise a number of the requirements in the September 2016 rule. The final rule implementing these
revisions was published in September 2018. In addition, in May 2018, BSEE published a proposed rule that would revise
13
several requirements of the blowout preventer systems and well control rule. A final rule has not yet been issued. In addition,
drilling in certain areas has been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. For example, in
December 2016, the Obama administration banned offshore drilling in portions of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. Although the
Trump administration announced a proposal in January 2018 to open most U.S. coastal waters to offshore drilling, several
coastal states have taken steps to prohibit offshore drilling. For example, California passed laws in September 2018 barring the
construction of new oil drilling-related infrastructure in state waters. Similarly, in November 2018, voters in Florida approved
an amendment to the state constitution that would ban oil and gas drilling in offshore state waters. Further, in December 2018,
environmental groups challenged incidental harassment authorizations issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service that
allow companies to conduct air gun seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration off the Atlantic coast. The attorneys general for
nine coastal states also sought to intervene as plaintiffs. To the extent that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or
restrict drilling or impose additional environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas
industry in general and the drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. Similarly,
restrictions on authorizations needed to conduct seismic surveys could impact our customers' ability to identify oil and gas
reserves, thereby reducing demand for our products. The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and
earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—
Our business and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit
the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”
Our operations are also governed by laws and regulations related to workplace safety and worker health, such as the
Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Based on the Company’s experience to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its
business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing environmental, health and safety laws.
However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement
policies of or by regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require
additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
In this Item 1A., the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “Dril-Quip” used herein refer to Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries
unless otherwise indicated or as the context so requires.
A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue
and income.
Our business depends upon the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas
companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. The level of capital expenditures is
generally dependent on the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the
supply and demand for oil and gas, including:
• worldwide economic activity;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the level of exploration and production activity;
interest rates and the cost of capital;
environmental regulation;
federal, state and foreign policies regarding exploration and development of oil and gas;
the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other major producers to set and maintain production levels and pricing;
governmental regulations regarding future oil and gas exploration and production;
the cost of exploring and producing oil and gas;
the cost of developing alternative energy sources;
the availability, expiration date and price of onshore and offshore leases;
the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in onshore and offshore areas;
the success of drilling for oil and gas in unconventional resource plays such as shale formations;
alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration and production opportunities;
technological advances and new techniques that render drilling more efficient or reduce demand for, and production
of, fossil fuels; and
• weather conditions and natural disasters.
Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in
recent years. Worldwide military, political and economic events have contributed to crude oil and natural gas price volatility
and are likely to continue to do so in the future.
We expect continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production
related activities, particularly as they relate to offshore activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas,
companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of
our products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons.
These risks are greater during periods of low or declining commodity prices. The sustained lower crude oil and natural gas
prices, along with lower drilling and production activity, have had a negative impact on our results of operations.
We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts
and contract tenders.
15
Our products are used primarily in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Our contracts with
customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products
and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. We anticipate that such testing requirements will become
more common in our contracts. In addition, recent scrutiny of the drilling industry has resulted in more stringent technical
specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such
specifications. We cannot assure you that our products will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to
perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under
existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely
affect our results of operations. If our products are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable to perform any
required full-scale testing, our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and our business, results of
operations, cash flows or financial position may be adversely affected.
We rely on technology provided by third parties and our business may be materially adversely affected if we are
unable to renew our licensing arrangements with them.
We have existing contracts and may enter into new contracts with customers that require us to use technology or to
purchase components from third parties, including some of our competitors. In the ordinary course of our business, we have
entered into licensing agreements with some of these third parties for the use of such technology, including a license from a
competitor of a technology important to our subsea wellheads. We may not be able to renew our existing licenses or to purchase
these components on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to use a technology or purchase a component, we may
not be able to meet existing contractual commitments without increased costs or modifications or at all. In addition, we may
need to stop selling products incorporating that technology or component or to redesign our products, either of which could
result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.
Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and
greater capital resources than ours and which have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer time than us.
If these competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing competitive products and
services, we may not be able to compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our competitors could enhance their
product and service offerings and financial resources, further intensifying competition.
The loss of a significant customer could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Our principal customers are major integrated oil and gas companies, large independent and foreign national oil and gas
companies throughout the world. Drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of
our customer base. In 2018, our top 15 customers represented approximately 56% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated
companies accounted for approximately 13% of total revenues. In 2017 and 2016, our top 15 customers represented
approximately 49% and 75% of total revenues, respectively, and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for
approximately 14% and 16% of total revenues, respectively. The loss of one or more of our significant customers could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our customers’ industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are
using their size and purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in
reduced capital spending by some of our customers or the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead
to decreased demand for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of sales to a
customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the
acquisition of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital
spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to
negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.
Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing processes could negatively impact our
profitability.
Any increases in commodity prices for items such as nickel, molybdenum and heavy metal scrap that are used to make
the steel alloys required for our products would result in an increase in our raw material costs. Similarly, any increase in energy
costs would increase our product costs. If we are not successful in raising our prices on products to compensate for any
increased raw material or energy costs, our margins will be negatively impacted.
We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, and our results of operations could be
adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.
16
Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials from third parties. The ability of
these third parties to deliver raw materials may be affected by events beyond our control. Any interruption in the supply of raw
materials needed to manufacture our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation with our
customers.
Conditions in the global financial system may have impacts on our business and financial position that we
currently cannot predict.
Uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability of our customers to finance purchases of our products
and services and could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders included in our backlog or adversely affect the
collectability of our receivables. If the availability of credit to our customers is reduced, they may reduce their drilling and
production expenditures, thereby decreasing demand for our products and services, which could have a negative impact on our
financial position. Additionally, unsettled conditions could have an impact on our suppliers, causing them to be unable to meet
their obligations to us. A prolonged constriction on future lending by banks or investors could result in higher interest rates on
future debt obligations or could restrict our ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet our long-term operational and capital
needs.
We are exposed to the credit risks of our customers, and a general increase in the nonpayment and
nonperformance by customers could have an adverse impact on our cash flows, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our business is subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. Certain of our
customers finance their activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. In an
economic downturn, commodity prices typically decline, and the credit markets and availability of credit can be expected to be
constrained. Additionally, certain of our customers’ equity values could decline. The combination of lower cash flow due to
commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of available debt or equity
financing may result in a significant reduction in our customers’ liquidity and ability to pay or otherwise perform on their
obligations to us. Furthermore, some of our customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and
regulatory risks, which increases the risk that they may default on their obligations to us. Any increase in the nonpayment and
nonperformance by our customers could have an adverse impact on our operating results and could adversely affect our
liquidity.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of
our future revenues and earnings.
The revenues projected in our backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. All of the projects
currently included in our backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or
termination, the customer is generally required to pay us for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of
the change or termination.
We can give no assurance that our backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of our products are affected by prices for
oil and natural gas, which have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Contracts denominated in
foreign currency are also affected by changes in exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on our backlog. When
drilling and production levels are depressed, a customer may no longer need the equipment or services currently under contract
or may be able to obtain comparable equipment or services at lower prices. As a result, customers may delay projects, exercise
their termination rights or attempt to renegotiate contract terms.
For example, during the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply TTR
systems and related services for the development of the CRD Project located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with the
participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project is included within the backlog balance presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements; however, due to ongoing territorial discussions between China and Vietnam,
the CRD Project may experience continued delays or cancellation.
Continued declines in, or sustained low levels of, oil and natural gas prices could also reduce new customer orders,
possibly causing a decline in our future backlog. If we experience significant project terminations, suspensions or scope
adjustments to contracts reflected in our backlog, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely
impacted.
Impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets, inventory, intangible assets and goodwill could negatively
affect our operating results.
We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and we could incur additional impairment charges related to the carrying value of
our long lived assets.
17
As a result of continued unfavorable offshore market conditions and low commodity prices, the Company engaged in a
strategic review with a third-party firm in 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for
recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025.
Additionally, the Company pursued a global transformation, which includes a reduction in workforce, realignment of facilities
and restructuring of operations. We expect this transformation to allow us to maintain our global footprint in key markets,
while supporting an integrated supply chain model that we expect to create more flexibility and allow us to continue serving
our customers. The Company expects to complete the strategic restructuring by the end of 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we incurred inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1
million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are
manufactured. These charges are reflected as Impairment, restructuring and other charges in our consolidated statement of
operations.
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after
considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined
the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to
projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a
result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we
recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets. No additional
impairments were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, no impairments were recorded
for the year ended December 31, 2016.
For goodwill, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may
have occurred. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an
assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our three
reporting units' net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair
value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it,
combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for
each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such
estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital, a
terminal growth value and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our
impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we
recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its calculated fair
value.
At October 1, 2018, the Company performed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units and concluded that
there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units exceeded its carrying value.
Relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on goodwill include: macroeconomic conditions; industry
and market conditions, such as commodity prices; operating cost factors; overall financial performance; the impact of
dispositions and acquisitions; and other entity-specific events. Further declines in commodity prices or sustained lower
valuation for the Company's common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of reporting unit fair value which, in turn,
could lead to an impairment of reporting unit goodwill.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity
prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with
certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization
dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in
connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this
analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended
December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill
balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim
goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71%. Further
declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could
indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional
impairment charges associated with goodwill. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016.
During 2018, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel, a low of $50.57 per barrel,
and an average of $71.34 per barrel. Although the prices have experienced some recovery in 2017 and 2018, continued
weakness or volatility in market conditions may further deteriorate the financial performance or future prospects of our
18
operating segments from current levels, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets, inventory or goodwill and
negatively impact our financial results in the period of impairment.
Our international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other
risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
We have substantial international operations, with approximately 61% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in
2018, 55% in 2017 and 66% in 2016. We operate our business and market our products and services in many of the significant
oil and gas producing areas in the world and are, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations
and investments in foreign countries. Risks associated with our international operations include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
volatility in general economic, social and political conditions;
terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances;
expropriation or nationalization of assets;
renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts;
foreign taxation, including changes in laws or differing interpretations of existing laws;
assaults on property or personnel;
restrictive action by local governments;
foreign and domestic monetary policies;
limitations on repatriation of earnings;
the occurrence of a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies;
travel limitations or operational problems caused by public health threats; and
changes in currency exchange rates.
Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture products abroad or the demand for our
products and services in some locations. To date, we have not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising
from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future.
Interruption of our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations.
Our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and foreign regulations governing the
international trade of goods, services and technology, which expose us to compliance risks.
Doing business on a worldwide basis exposes us and our subsidiaries to risks inherent in complying with the laws and
regulations of a number of different nations, including various anti-bribery laws. We do business and have operations in a
number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more developed
countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having
a culture in which requests for improper payments are not discouraged. As a result, we may be subject to risks under the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act of 2010 and similar laws in other countries that generally
prohibit companies and their representatives from making, offering or authorizing improper payments to government officials
for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have adopted policies and procedures, including our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethical Practices, which are designed to promote compliance with such laws. However, maintaining and
administering an effective compliance program under applicable anti-bribery laws in developing countries presents greater
challenges than is the case in more developed countries.
In addition, the movement of goods, services and technology subjects us to complex legal regimes governing
international trade. Our import activities are governed by unique tariff and customs laws and regulations in each of the
countries where we operate. Further, many of the countries in which we do business maintain controls on the export or reexport
of certain goods, services and technology, as well as economic sanctions that prohibit or restrict business activities in, with or
involving certain persons, entities or countries. These laws and regulations concerning import and export activity, including
their recordkeeping and reporting requirements, are complex and frequently changing. Moreover, they may be adopted,
enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that could materially impact our operations.
The precautions we take to prevent and detect misconduct, fraud or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations
governing international trade, including anti-bribery laws, may not be able to prevent such occurrences, and we could face
unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to
criminal or civil penalties, such as fines, imprisonment, sanctions, debarment from government contracts, seizure of shipments
19
and loss of import and export privileges. In addition, actual or alleged violations of such laws and regulations could be
expensive and consume significant time and attention of senior management to investigate and resolve, as well as damage our
reputation and ability to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of
operations, financial position and cash flows. We are also subject to the risks that our employees, agents and other
representatives may act or fail to act in violation of such laws or regulations or our compliance policies and procedures.
The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union, including the subsequent
exchange rate fluctuations and political and economic uncertainties, may have a negative effect on global economic conditions,
financial markets and our business.
In a referendum held on June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (U.K.) approved the exit (Brexit) of the U.K. from
the European Union (E.U.). On March 29, 2017, the U.K. government commenced the exit process under Article 50 of the
Treaty of the European Union by notifying the European Council of the U.K.'s intention to leave the E.U. This notification
started a two-year time period ending on March 29, 2019 for the U.K. and the remaining E.U. Member States to negotiate a
withdrawal agreement. Negotiations remain ongoing to determine the future terms of the U.K.'s relationship with the E.U. The
impact on the Company's business as a result of Brexit will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other
negotiations.
The consequences of Brexit, together with the protracted negotiations around the terms of Brexit, could introduce
significant uncertainties into global financial markets and adversely impact the regions in which we and our clients operate. For
example, importing and exporting activity from our Aberdeen manufacturing facility could be subject to higher costs and
delays, which could cause disruptions in our delivery schedules to our customers. In the long term, Brexit could also create
uncertainty with respect to the legal and regulatory requirements to which we and our customers in the U.K. are subject and
lead to divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. government determines which E.U. laws to modify or replace.
The referendum adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the
British pound sterling, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates could be expected to
continue in the short term as the U.K. negotiates its exit from the E.U. A weaker British pound sterling compared to the U.S.
dollar during a reporting period would cause local currency results of the Company's U.K. operations to be translated into fewer
U.S. dollars.
Continued adverse consequences, such as deterioration in economic conditions and volatility in currency exchange rates,
and the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could have a negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of
operations.
Tax reform in the United States may have adverse effects on our financial position.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted (US Tax Reform). US Tax Reform includes a number of
changes that impacted our business. These changes include a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% starting in
2018, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest
expense and executive compensation. US Tax Reform also transitions U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system
to a modified territorial system, which includes base erosion prevention measures on non-U.S. earnings, which have the effect
of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. taxation stemming from guidelines such as Global Low Tax
Intangible Income (GILTI). The US Tax Reform also includes a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation
of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017.
US Tax Reform also provides for the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September
27, 2017 as well as prospective changes beginning in 2018, including repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction. Changes
in corporate tax rates, the taxation of foreign earnings and the deductibility of expenses had a material impact on the
recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and resulted in an increase of the Company’s effective tax rate in 2017.
The provisions of US Tax Reform reduced the Company’s effective tax rate in 2018, but it is important to note that the
ultimate impact on the Company’s effective tax rate will largely depend on the percentage of pre-tax earnings that is generated
in the United States as compared to the rest of the world.
We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final determination of
our tax liabilities.
As a result of our international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. Accordingly, our effective
income tax rate and other tax obligations in the future could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in
the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, the mix of business executed in deemed profit regimes
compared to book income regimes, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, disagreements with taxing
authorities with respect to the interpretation of tax laws and regulations and changes in tax laws. In particular, foreign income
tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by foreign tax authorities, and these tax
20
examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, interest or penalties. Refer to "Item 3. Legal Proceedings"
regarding tax assessments in Brazil. We regularly assess all of these matters to determine the adequacy of our tax provision,
which is subject to discretion. If our assessments are incorrect, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
Moreover, the United States Congress, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other
government agencies in the other jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries do business have had an extended focus on issues
related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of "base erosion and profit shifting," where
payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result,
the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we and our subsidiaries do business could change on a
prospective or retroactive basis, and such changes could adversely affect us.
Our excess cash is invested in various financial instruments which may subject us to potential losses.
We invest excess cash in various financial instruments including interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds
and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. However,
changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the issuers, can affect the market value
of our short-term investments.
We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations and limitations on the ability to repatriate income
or capital to the United States.
We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U. S. dollar, and our operations are subject to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect the Company against such
fluctuations in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that the countries in which we currently operate will not adopt policies
limiting repatriation of earnings in the future.
Our foreign subsidiaries also hold significant amounts of cash that may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to
adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes of the applicable foreign country if we repatriate that cash to the
United States.
Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an
event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position
and cash flows.
Our products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal
injury, product liability and environmental claims. In addition, certain areas where our products are used, including in and near
the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, are close to high population areas and subject to hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions on a
relatively frequent basis. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and/or services are used may expose us
to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, environmental damage or commercial claims. Our
general liability insurance program includes an aggregate coverage limit of $200 million for claims with respect to property
damage, injury or death and pollution. However, our insurance policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses
related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. In addition, our insurance does not provide coverage for all liabilities,
and we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that we will be able to
maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We attempt to further limit our liability through contractual indemnification provisions with our customers. We generally
seek to enter into contracts for the provision of our products and services that provide for (1) the responsibility of each party to
the contract for personal injuries to, or the death of, its employees and damages to its property, (2) cross-indemnification with
other contractors providing products and/or services to the other party to the contract with respect to personal injury, death and
property damage and (3) the operator being responsible for claims brought by third parties for personal injury, death, property
loss or damage relating to pollution or other well control events. Due to competitive market pressures, we may not be able to
successfully obtain favorable contractual provisions, and a failure to do so may increase our risks and costs, which could
materially impact our results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that any party that is contractually obligated to
indemnify us will be financially able to do so or that a court will enforce all such indemnities.
21
We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
A portion of our business consists of the designing, manufacturing and selling of our equipment for major projects
pursuant to competitive bids, and is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all
cost overruns, other than the amount of any cost overruns resulting from requested changes in order specifications. Our actual
costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts
were originally based. This may occur for various reasons, including:
•
•
•
errors in estimates or bidding;
changes in availability and cost of labor and materials;
variations in productivity from our original estimates; and
• material changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending
on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating
results.
Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related
to our products.
Technology is an important component of our business and growth strategy, and our success as a company depends to a
significant extent on the development and implementation of new product designs and improvements. Whether we can continue
to develop systems and services and related technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices acceptable
to our customers will be significant factors in determining our ability to compete in the industry in which we operate. Many of
our competitors are large multinational companies that may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and
they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services and technologies than we
are able to do.
Our ability to compete effectively will also depend on our ability to continue to obtain patents on our proprietary
technology and products. Although we do not consider any single patent to be material to our business as a whole, the inability
to protect our future innovations through patents could have a material adverse effect.
We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of over time method of accounting.
Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on an over time basis. We calculate the percent
complete and apply the percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs.
Accordingly, purchase order price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments
proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. To the extent that these
adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against
current earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.
Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.
We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our
President and Chief Executive Officer. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting
from the hiring or departure of executives. Such changes in our executive management team may be disruptive to our business.
The loss of one or more of our key employees or groups could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.
Acquisitions, dispositions and investments may not result in anticipated benefits and may present risks not
originally contemplated, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
From time to time, we evaluate purchases and sales of assets, businesses or other investments. These transactions may not
result in the anticipated realization of savings, creation of efficiencies, offering of new products or services, generation of cash
or income or reduction of risk. In addition, acquisitions may be financed by borrowings, requiring us to incur debt, or by the
issuance of our common stock. These transactions involve numerous risks, and we cannot ensure that:
•
•
any acquisition would be successfully integrated into our operations and internal controls;
the due diligence conducted prior to an acquisition would uncover situations that could result in financial or legal
exposure;
•
the use of cash for acquisitions would not adversely affect our cash available for capital expenditures and other uses;
22
•
•
any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not divert management resources from the operation of
our business; or
any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Restrictions in the agreement governing the Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The operating and financial restrictions in the ABL Credit Facility and any future financing agreements could restrict our
ability to finance future operations, capital needs or to access to capital at a reasonable cost or otherwise pursue our business
activities. For example, ABL Credit Facility limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
•
•
incur additional debt or issue guarantees;
incur or permit certain liens to exist;
• make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments, including payments for the purchase of equity interests
in the Company;
dispose of assets;
engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates;
•
•
• merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and
•
prepay certain indebtedness.
Furthermore, the ABL Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to
1.0 based on the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges when availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls below the
greater of $10 million and 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments.
In addition, any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be at variable rates of interest that expose us to interest
rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the
amount borrowed will remain the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease.
A failure to comply with the covenants in the agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility could result in an event of default,
which, if not cured or waived, would permit the exercise of remedies against us that could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial position. Remedies under the ABL Credit Facility include foreclosure on the collateral
securing the indebtedness and termination of the commitments under the ABL Credit Facility, and any outstanding borrowings
under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.
Our operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that
may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our business and our customers’ businesses may be significantly affected by:
federal, state, local and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the oilfield operations, worker safety and the
protection of the environment;
changes in these laws and regulations;
levels of enforcement of these laws and regulations; and
interpretation of existing laws and regulations.
•
•
•
•
In addition, we depend on the demand for our products and services from the oil and gas industry. This demand is
affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general,
including those specifically directed to offshore operations. For example, the adoption of laws and regulations curtailing
exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect our operations
by limiting demand for our products. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be
affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations and enforcement thereof.
Various new regulations intended to improve particularly offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been
issued since 2010 that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some
operators to continue deepwater drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial
operations. Third-party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict
activities. If the new regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our
23
current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects, they could discontinue or curtail
their operations, thereby adversely affecting our financial operations by decreasing demand for our products.
Because of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may
encourage or require hiring of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from,
a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations, financial
position and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our businesses and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase
our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our operations and the operations of our customers are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to the protection of human health and the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect the
products and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our products. For example, our
operations are subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations that, among other things, may regulate the management
and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; require acquisition of environmental permits related to our operations;
restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various materials that can be released into the environment; limit or prohibit
operation activities in certain ecologically sensitive and other protected areas; regulate specific health and safety criteria
addressing worker protection; require compliance with operational and equipment standards; impose testing, reporting and
record-keeping requirements; and require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations. We are
required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with such environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. In addition, environmental laws and
regulations could limit our customers’ exploration and production activities. These laws and regulations change frequently,
which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future operations. For example, legislation to regulate
emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging
policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation.
In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of
international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate
Change Conferences, including the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21) in November 2015, which
resulted in the creation of the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement, signed by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, requires countries
to review and “represent a progression” in their nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission
reduction goals, every five years. However, in August 2017, the United States informed the United Nations of its intent to
withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November
2020. Also, the EPA has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects.
Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA expanded its
regulations relating to those emissions and adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the
permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. Subsequent to the
Paris Agreement, there has been no significant legislative progress in cap and trade proposals or greenhouse gas emission
reductions. The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could also increase the cost
of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the hydrocarbons that our customers produce. Consequently, such legislation or
regulatory programs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. It is too early to
determine whether, or in what form, further regulatory action regarding greenhouse gas emissions will be adopted or what
specific impact a new regulatory action might have on us or our customers. Generally, the anticipated regulatory actions do not
appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent, than other companies
that are our competitors. However, our business and prospects could be adversely affected to the extent laws are enacted or
modified or other governmental action is taken that prohibits or restricts our customers’ exploration and production activities or
imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to us or our customers.
Environmental laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and
safety, rendering a party liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party.
Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and
criminal prosecution. Some environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of
spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property
damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. These laws and
regulations also may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations at the time such acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations
could result in claims, fines or expenditures that could be material to results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our business could be adversely affected by a failure or breach of our information technology systems.
Our business operations depend on our information technology (IT) systems. Despite our security and back-up measures,
our IT systems are vulnerable to cyber incidents or attacks, natural disasters and other disruptions or failures. Due to the nature
24
of cyber-attacks, breaches to our IT systems could go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time. The failure of our IT systems
to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt our business and result in numerous
adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and those of our customers, the loss,
theft, corruption or inappropriate disclosure of confidential information or critical data, increased overhead costs, loss of
revenue, loss of intellectual property and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to prevent or respond to damage caused by
these disruptions or security breaches in the future.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and data
protection.
The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is constantly evolving and can be subject to
significant change. New laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential
information, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and recent California legislation, pose
increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to
comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or
others, subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices,
increase the costs and complexity of compliance, and adversely affect our business. As noted above, we are also subject to the
possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws. Additionally, if we acquire a
company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, we may incur significant liabilities and
penalties as a result.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are subject to
large fluctuations in response to any of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
limited trading volume in our common stock;
quarterly variations in operating results;
general financial market conditions;
the prices of natural gas and oil;
announcements by us and our competitors;
our liquidity;
changes in government regulations;
our ability to raise additional funds;
our involvement in litigation; and
other events.
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the near future.
We have not paid any dividends in the past and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors reviews this policy on a regular basis in light of our earnings, financial position and
market opportunities. We currently intend to retain any earnings for the future operation and development of our business as
well as potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities.
Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of the
Company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders.
The existence of some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in
control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws contain provisions that may make acquiring control of our company difficult, including:
•
•
•
provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors;
provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders;
provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business
combination transactions with related persons; and
•
the authorization given to our Board of Directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock.
25
In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations
between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil and
subsequently transferred them to its facility in the State of Rio de Janeiro. During that period, the Company’s Brazilian
subsidiary paid taxes to the State of Espirito Santo on its imports. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Company’s Brazilian
subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation
of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Company’s understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two assessments totaling
approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State
of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Company has objected to
these assessments on the grounds that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the
Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed appeals with a
State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul both of these tax assessments following rulings against the Company by the tax
administration’s highest council. In connection with those appeals, the Company deposited with the court a total amount of
approximately $8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessments with penalties and
interest. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the judicial court process is probable. Based upon
this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
Since 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary has paid taxes on the importation of goods directly to the State of Rio de
Janeiro and the Company does not expect any similar issues to exist for periods subsequent to 2007.
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing
areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the
condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling,
completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, property damage and environmental claims. Although
exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future
developments will not adversely impact the Company.
For a further description of the Company’s legal proceedings, see “Commitments and Contingencies,” Note 15 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course
of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of
management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 5.
Market for Registrant’s Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities
The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DRQ".
There were approximately 170 stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2018. This
number includes the Company’s employees and directors that hold shares, but does not include the number of security holders
for whom shares are held in a “nominee” or “street” name.
The Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends in the
foreseeable future. The Company intends to reinvest any retained earnings for the future operation and development of its
business, or to use for potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities. The Board of Directors will review this policy
on a regular basis in light of the Company’s earnings, financial position, market opportunities and restrictions under the ABL
Credit Facility.
Information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in "Stock-Based
Compensation and Stock Awards", Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) On July 26, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase plan had no
set expiration date although the maximum repurchase limit under the plan has now been met. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company purchased 1,991,206 shares under the
share repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $50.22 per share totaling approximately $100 million, pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which is reflected in "Retained earnings" in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. All repurchased shares have been cancelled as of December 31, 2018.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock to the cumulative total
shareholder return on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index (“OSX”), an index

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected aspects of the
Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows during the periods included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered drilling and production equipment that is well
suited primarily for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Dril-Quip's products are used by
major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies and drilling contractors throughout the world.
The Company’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, subsea control
systems and manifolds, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser
systems, liner hangers, wellhead connectors, diverters and safety valves. Dril-Quip also provides technical advisory assistance
on an as-requested basis during installation of its products, as well as rework and reconditioning services for customer-owned
Dril-Quip products. In addition, Dril-Quip's customers may rent or purchase running tools from the Company for use in the
installation and retrieval of the Company’s products.
Oil and Gas Prices
Both the market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially
dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make
capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and
production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—A material or
extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.”
During 2018, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel, a low of $50.57 per barrel,
and an average of $71.34 per barrel compared to an average of $54.15 per barrel in 2017 and $43.67 per barrel in 2016.
According to the December 2018 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent crude oil prices are
projected to average $61.00 per barrel in 2019 and $65.00 per barrel in 2020. The International Energy Agency projected the
global oil demand to grow by approximately 1.4 million barrels per day to a total of 100.6 million barrels per day in 2019 based
on its December 2018 Oil Market Report.
Rig Count
Detailed below is the average contracted offshore rig count (rigs currently drilling as well as rigs committed, but not yet
drilling) for the Company’s geographic regions for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The rig count data
includes floating rigs (semi-submersibles and drillships) and jack-up rigs. The Company has included only these types of rigs
as they are the primary assets used to deploy the Company’s products.

Source: IHS—Petrodata RigBase— December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016
According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2018, there were 487 rigs contracted for the Company’s
geographic regions (146 floating rigs and 341 jack-up rigs), which represents a 3.4% increase from the rig count of 471 rigs
(148 floating rigs and 323 jack-up rigs) as of December 31, 2017. The December 31, 2017 rig count represented a 2.2%
increase from the rig count on December 31, 2016 of 461 rigs (151 floating rigs and 310 jack-up rigs).
The Company believes that the number of rigs (semi-submersibles, drillships and jack-up rigs) under construction
impacts its backlog and resulting revenues because in certain cases, its customers order some of the Company’s products during
the construction of such rigs. As a result, an increase in rig construction activity tends to favorably impact the Company’s
backlog while a decrease in rig construction activity tends to negatively impact the Company’s backlog. According to IHS-
Petrodata RigBase, at the end of 2018, 2017 and 2016, there were 121, 138 and 152 rigs, respectively, under construction. The
expected delivery dates for the rigs under construction on December 31, 2018 are as follows:

However, given the sustained low level of oil and gas prices and oversupply of offshore drilling rigs, the Company
believes it is possible that delivery of some rigs under construction could be postponed or cancelled, limiting the opportunity
for supply of the Company's products.
Regulation
The demand for the Company’s products and services is also affected by laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas
industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of new laws and regulations, or
changes to existing laws or regulations that curtail exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other
policy reasons, could adversely affect the Company’s operations by limiting demand for its products.
In March 2018, the President of the United States issued a proclamation imposing a 25 percent global tariff on imports of
certain steel products, effective March 23, 2018. The President subsequently proposed an additional 25 percent tariff on
approximately $50 billion worth of imports from China, and the government of China responded with a proposal of an
additional 25 percent tariff on U.S. goods with a value of $50 billion. The initial U.S. tariffs were implemented on July 6,
2018, covering $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, with another $16 billion of goods facing tariffs beginning on August 23,
2018.
In September 2018, the President directed the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to place additional tariffs on
approximately $200 billion worth of additional imports from China. These tariffs, which took effect on September 24, 2018,
initially have been set at a level of 10 percent until the end of the year, at which point the tariffs were to rise to 25 percent.
However, on December 19, 2018, USTR postponed the date on which the rate of the additional duties will increase to 25
percent until March 2, 2019.
In November 2018, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement
(USMCA), the successor agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which still requires ratification by
the respective governments of all three signatories before going into effect. The President has indicated that he may withdraw
the United States from NAFTA in order to encourage the U.S. Congress to vote on ratification of the USMCA.
If the President imposes additional tariffs on China or withdraws from or replaces NAFTA, or if any additional tariffs or
trade restrictions are initiated by or against the United States, such action could cause our cost of raw materials to increase or
affect the markets for our products. However, given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by
the United States and other countries, their ultimate impact on our business and operations remains uncertain.
Business Environment
Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in
recent years. Worldwide military, political, economic and other events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility
and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have resulted in a trend of customers
seeking to renegotiate contract terms with the Company, including reductions in the prices of its products and services,
33
extensions of delivery terms and, in some instances, contract cancellations or revisions. In some cases, a customer may already
hold an inventory of the Company’s equipment, which may delay the placement of new orders. In addition, some of the
Company’s customers could experience liquidity or solvency issues or could otherwise be unable or unwilling to perform under
a contract, which could ultimately lead a customer to enter bankruptcy or otherwise encourage a customer to seek to repudiate,
cancel or renegotiate a contract. An extended period of reduced crude oil and natural gas prices may accelerate these trends. If
the Company experiences significant contract terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to its contracts, then its financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
The Company expects continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and
production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas
may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of products and services, or reduce their
levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. Lower drilling and production activity
had a negative impact on the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2018 and is expected to improve slightly in
certain markets in 2019. A prolonged delay in the recovery of commodity prices could also lead to further material impairment
charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing
areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in
foreign countries. These risks include nationalization, expropriation, war, acts of terrorism and civil disturbance, restrictive
action by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in foreign tax laws and change in currency exchange
rates, any of which could have an adverse effect on either the Company’s ability to manufacture its products in its facilities
abroad or the demand in certain regions for the Company’s products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any
significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance
that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Company’s international operations could have a material
adverse effect on its overall operations.
Revenues. Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from three sources: products, services and leasing rental tools. Product
revenues are derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company
provides technical advisory assistance and rental tools during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products.
Additionally, the Company earns service revenues when rework and reconditioning services are provided. In 2018, the
Company derived 69% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 19% of its revenues from services and 12% of its revenues
from leasing rental tools, compared to 77%, 14% and 9% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2017, respectively,
and 80%, 12% and 8% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2016, respectively. Service and leasing revenues
generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for
technical advisory assistance services during installation and rental of running tools. However, existing customer equipment
can be used in certain circumstances, which creates demand for services with no correlating product sales. The Company has
substantial international operations, with approximately 61% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2018, 55% in 2017
and 66% in 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Domestic revenue approximated 39% of the Company’s total revenues in 2018, 45% in 2017 and 34% in 2016.
Product contracts are typically negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not
typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the customer as a condition of the sale
of the Company’s products. The demand for products and services is generally based on worldwide economic conditions in the
oil and gas industry, and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the
Company’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change and/or termination at the option of
the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other
costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Company’s
products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including global oil prices, competitive pricing pressure, the level of
utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market
conditions.
The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on an
over time basis. During 2018, there were 22 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented
approximately 16% of the Company’s total revenues and 23% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2017, there were
eight projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 13% of the Company’s
total revenues and 16% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2016, there were ten projects that were accounted for using
the over time method, which represented approximately 14% of the Company’s total revenues and 17% of the Company’s
product revenues. These percentages may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally
recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete, which is used to determine the revenue earned and the
appropriate portion of total estimated cost of sales. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work
34
progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are
revised. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of
revenues recognized are classified as a current liability. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be required to recognize a charge
against current earnings because of over time method of accounting.”
Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales
as a percentage of revenues is influenced by the product mix sold in any particular period, costs from projects accounted for
under the over time method, over/under manufacturing overhead absorption and market conditions. The Company’s costs
related to its foreign operations do not significantly differ from its domestic costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs associated
with sales and marketing, general corporate overhead, business development expenses, compensation expense, stock-based
compensation expense, legal expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other related administrative functions.
The Company’s U.K. subsidiary, whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, conducts a portion of its operations in
U.S. dollars. As a result, this subsidiary holds significant monetary assets denominated in U.S. dollars. These monetary assets
are subject to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling, which has resulted in pre-tax
non-cash foreign currency gains during the year ended December 31, 2018 totaling $1.0 million.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product
development and testing, as well as application engineering related to customized products.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. Impairment, restructuring and other charges consist of certain goodwill,
inventory, long-lived assets and other restructuring costs of $38.6 million, $32.1 million, $14.9 million and $13.0 million,
respectively, which occurred in connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the balance consisted of certain inventory and fixed asset write-downs of $27.4
million and $33.6 million, respectively. For more detail, see "Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges", Note 8 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements and "Goodwill", Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax benefit for 2018 was $19.3 million on net loss before taxes of $115.0 million, resulting
in an effective income tax rate of 16.8%. Income tax expense in 2017 was $35.0 million on net loss before taxes of $65.6
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately negative 53%. The change in the 2018 effective income tax rate was
primarily impacted by the recording of a valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various
foreign countries, goodwill impairment, and the impact of US Tax Reform and foreign tax credits.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017
Revenues. Revenues decreased by $70.9 million, or approximately 16%, to $384.6 million in 2018 from $455.5 million in
2017. The overall decrease in revenue was driven by lower product revenues of $86.2 million, partially offset by an increase in
service revenues of $10.5 million and leasing revenues of $4.8 million. Product revenues decreased by approximately $86.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of decreased revenues of $82.1
million in subsea equipment, $8.0 million in offshore rig equipment and $1.2 million in downhole tools, offset by increased
revenues of $5.1 million from surface equipment sales. Product revenues decreased in the Western Hemisphere by $46.9
million and in Asia Pacific by $41.3 million, partially offset by increased revenues in the Eastern Hemisphere of $2.0 million.
The overall decreased revenues were largely due to decreases in the demand for exploration and production equipment,
especially subsea equipment, as a result of deteriorating and sustained low oil and gas prices in 2018 and 2017. In any given
time period, the revenues recognized between the various product lines and geographic areas will vary depending upon the
timing of shipments to customers, completion status of the projects accounted for under the over-time method, market
conditions and customer demand. Service revenues increased by approximately $10.5 million, resulting from increased service
revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $4.1 million, in Asia Pacific of $4.0 million and in the Eastern Hemisphere of $2.4
million. The increase in service revenues was largely due to increased technical advisory assistance and reconditioning of
customer-owned property. Leasing revenues increased by approximately $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018
compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of increased rental tool sales of $4.8 million in Asia Pacific and $2.8 million in
the Eastern Hemisphere, partially offset by a decrease of $2.8 million in the Western Hemisphere.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $33.9 million, or 11%, to $271.5 million for 2018 from $305.4 million for 2017.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was approximately 71% in 2018 and 67% in 2017. Cost of sales as a percentage of
revenue increased in 2018, primarily as a result of unabsorbed manufacturing costs, product mix and pricing concessions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2018, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
approximately $12.3 million, or 11%, to $104.0 million from $116.3 million in 2017. The Company experienced a non-cash
pre-tax foreign currency transaction gain of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to an $8.3 million
loss for the same period in 2017. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee costs of $5.5 million and lower insurance
costs of $1.7 million, offset by increases in Corporate costs of $1.4 million and other various costs of $2.8 million. Severance
costs were incurred during 2018; however, these are considered part of the restructuring plan and are included within the
"Impairment, restructuring and other charges" line in our consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December
31, 2017, we incurred $3.0 million in severance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased to 27% for the year ended December 31, 2018 from 26% for the same period of 2017.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2018, engineering and product development expenses decreased by
approximately $2.8 million, or 7%, to $39.4 million from $42.2 million in 2017, primarily due to a reduction in payroll related
expenses. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 10% in 2018 from 9% in
2017, largely due to the decrease in revenues.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This
decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital
budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in
our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill
impairment analysis was performed in connection with the preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere
reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016. For further information, see "Goodwill", Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additionally, we incurred restructuring, long-lived asset impairments and other charges associated with the cost reduction
plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.
We recognized an impairment during the year ended December 31, 2017 of approximately $33.6 million related to
inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets, as a result of decreased Brent crude (Brent) prices and certain asset
utilization. For further discussion, see "Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges", Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax benefit for 2018 was $19.3 million on net loss before taxes of $115.0 million,
resulting in an effective income tax rate of 16.8%. Income tax expense in 2017 was $35.0 million on net loss before taxes of
$65.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately negative 53%. The change in the effective income tax rate
was primarily impacted by the change in valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various
37
foreign countries, change in uncertain tax positions versus the prior year, goodwill impairment, and the impact of US Tax
Reform and foreign tax credits.
Net Income (Loss). Net loss was approximately $95.7 million in 2018, compared to $100.6 million in 2017, for the
reasons set forth above.
Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2016
Revenues. Revenues decreased by $83.2 million, or approximately 15%, to $455.5 million in 2017 from $538.7 million in
2016. The overall decrease in revenues was impacted by a 6.4% decrease in the average contracted offshore rig count
(including floating and jack-up rigs) in 2017 as compared to 2016. Product revenues decreased by approximately $81.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of decreased revenues of $84.1 million
in subsea equipment, $2.2 million in surface equipment and $22.0 million in offshore rig equipment, partially offset by an
increase in product revenues of $26.5 million related to downhole tool sales. Product revenues decreased in the Western
Hemisphere by $37.3 million, in Asia Pacific by $7.4 million and in the Eastern Hemisphere by $37.2 million. The decreased
revenues were largely due to decreases in the demand for exploration and production equipment, especially subsea equipment,
as a result of deteriorating oil and gas prices in 2015 and 2016. In any given time period, the revenues recognized between the
various product lines and geographic areas will vary depending upon the timing of shipments to customers, completion status
of the projects accounted for under the over time accounting method, market conditions and customer demand. Service
revenues decreased by approximately $2.2 million, resulting from decreased service revenues in the Eastern Hemisphere of
$6.4 million, partially offset by increased service revenues in Asia Pacific of $3.0 million and in the Western Hemisphere of
$1.2 million. Leasing revenues increased by $0.8 million, resulting from increased leasing revenues of $0.8 million and $0.4
million in the Asia Pacific and Western Hemisphere regions, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in the Eastern
Hemisphere of $0.4 million. The decrease in service and leasing revenues was largely due to the decline in oil and gas prices
leading to decreased exploration and production activities.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $23.0 million, or 7.0%, to $305.4 million for 2017 from $328.4 million for
2016. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was approximately 67.1% in 2017 and 61.0% in 2016. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue increased in 2017, primarily as a result of unabsorbed manufacturing costs, product mix and pricing
concessions, as well as the inclusion of a full year of expenses from the TIW business.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2017, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $62.9 million, or 118.4%, to $116.1 million from $53.1 million in 2016. The Company experienced a non-cash
pre-tax foreign currency transaction loss of $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to a gain of $31.7
million for the same period in 2016. In addition, the Company recognized recurring TIW expenses of $25.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2017 compared to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Severance costs totaled $3.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.0 million severance costs for the same period of 2016.
Corporate expenses totaled $36.7 million and $33.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
These increases in costs were partially offset by lower selling costs in the Eastern Hemisphere of $1.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2017 as a result of reduced headcount and salary reductions in the region. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2017 from 9.9% for
the same period of 2016.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2017, engineering and product development expenses decreased by
approximately $2.1 million, or 4.9%, to $42.2 million from $44.3 million in 2016 primarily due to a reduction in payroll related
expenses. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 9.3% in 2017 from 8.2% in
2016 largely due to the decrease in revenues. Engineering costs related to TIW for the years ended December 31, 2017 and
2016 were $3.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the
foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded
the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory
exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the
factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to
fixed assets. No additional impairments were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, no
impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in 2016 or 2015.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for 2017 was $35.0 million on net loss before taxes of $65.6 million, resulting
in an effective income tax rate of approximately negative 53%. Income tax expense in 2016 was $22.6 million on income
before taxes of $115.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 19.5%. The change in the effective income
tax rate was primarily impacted by the effects of US Tax Reform where estimated provisional reserves were established for the
38
re-measurement of deferred tax assets, for the one-time transition tax, the recording of a valuation allowance against the net
U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various foreign countries, and various credits and deductions in the U.K.
Net Income (Loss). Net loss was approximately $100.6 million in 2017, compared to net income of $93.2 million in 2016,
for the reasons set forth above.
39
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have performed a detailed analysis of the non-GAAP measures that are relevant to our business and its operations and
determined that the appropriate unit of measure to analyze our performance is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and
credits). The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges and credits from these financial measures enables it to
evaluate more effectively the Company's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be
masked by excluded items. It is our determination that Adjusted EBITDA is a more relevant measure of how the Company
reviews its ability to meet commitments and pursue capital projects.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as one of the indicators to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to
period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure and certain other items, including those that
affect the comparability of operating results. This measurement is used in concert with net income, its most directly
comparable financial measure, and net cash from operating activities, which measures actual cash generated in the period. In
addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measurement tool used by analysts and investors to help evaluate
overall operating performance, ability to pursue and service possible debt opportunities and analyze possible future capital
expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for our discretionary use and is not intended to represent or
to be used as a substitute for net income, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded
from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income, are significant components of the consolidated
statements of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Our
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies.
The following table reconciles our reported net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the respective periods:

(1) Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included negative Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(2.6) million and $(3.1) million, respectively,
related to TIW. These decreases in Adjusted EBITDA were related to lower international orders for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA does not measure financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance.

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that are local currency functional exclude the effects of
the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are non-cash changes. As a result,
changes reflected in certain accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in
corresponding accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital expenditures to improve and expand facilities and
manufacture additional running tools, (ii) to fund working capital and (iii) to fund the repurchase of the Company's shares. The
Company’s principal source of funds is cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had availability of
$52.2 million under the ABL Credit Facility. The Company may use its liquidity for, among other things, the support of the
Company's research and development efforts, the funding of key projects and spending required by any upturn in the
Company's business and the pursuit of possible acquisitions.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2018 decreased by approximately $62.5 million, primarily due to decreases
resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $71.3 million, offset by a decreased net loss of $4.9 million
between 2018 and 2017 and increases in non-operating assets and liabilities of approximately $3.9 million. Decreases in the
change in operating assets and liabilities of $71.3 million related to the change in trade receivables of $38.0 million as a result
of increased settlements with customers during 2018, prepaid and other assets of $25.2 million and trade accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $20.5 million, offset by increases in inventory of $12.3 million as a result of reductions in customer orders
and efforts to utilize existing inventory and other costs of $0.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased
$138.5 million in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to the transition to a net loss of $100.6 million compared to net income
in 2016 of $93.2 million.
Net loss increased by $4.9 million to $95.7 million in 2018 from a net loss of $100.6 million in 2017. Net income
decreased by $193.8 million to a net loss of $100.6 million in 2017 from net income of $93.2 million in 2016. The reasons for
the changes in net income (loss) are set forth in the “Results of Operations” section above.
The change in operating assets and liabilities of $75.6 million during 2017 primarily related to decreases in inventories of
$64.3 million as a result of reductions in customer orders and efforts to utilize existing inventory, as well as decreases in
deferred income taxes as a result of the newly implemented tax legislation in December 2017 of $24.5 million, decreases in
accounts receivable of $21.9 million, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $29.7 million due to increased capital expenditures
related to facilities in the Western and Asia Pacific Hemispheres, partially offset by increased proceeds related to sales of assets
and no acquisitions occurring in 2018. Capital expenditures by the Company were $32.1 million, $27.6 million and $25.8
million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2018, 2017 and 2016 included expanding worldwide
manufacturing facilities as well as increased expenditures on machinery and equipment and running tools. Capital expenditures
in 2018 included $14.0 million for facilities, $12.6 million for rental tools, $2.9 million for machinery and equipment and other
expenditures of $2.6 million. Capital expenditures in 2017 were primarily $15.7 million for facilities, $5.5 million for
machinery and equipment, $5.6 million for running tools and other expenditures of $0.8 million. Capital expenditures in 2016
were comprised of $10.8 million for facilities, $6.0 million for machinery and equipment, $7.9 million for running tools and
other expenditures of $1.1 million.
The Company acquired The Technologies Alliance Inc. d/b/a OilPatch Technologies (OPT) for approximately $19.9
million, net of cash and working capital adjustments, during the first quarter of 2017.

Repurchase of Equity Securities
On February 26, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase plan under
which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. As part of the repurchase plan, the
Company repurchased 400,500 shares under this plan for a total of $24.2 million during 2017. All repurchased shares were
subsequently cancelled.
On July 26, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company was authorized
to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we purchased, and
subsequently cancelled, 1,991,206 shares for $100.0 million. The repurchase plan was completed on October 19, 2018. All
repurchased shares have been cancelled as of December 31, 2018. Refer to "Item 5 - Market for Registrant's Common Stock,
Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" for further discussion.
On February 26, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a new stock repurchase
program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase
program has no set expiration date. Repurchases under the program will be made through open market purchases, privately
negotiated transactions or plans, instructions or contracts established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The manner,
timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock
price, liquidity and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common
stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at the Company’s discretion. Any repurchased shares are expected to be
cancelled. No repurchases have been made pursuant to this program at the time of this filing.

In addition to the above, the Company has issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business for the purchase of
goods and services. These purchase orders are enforceable and legally binding. However, none of the Company’s purchase
obligations call for deliveries of goods or services for time periods in excess of one year.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations plus cash on hand will be sufficient to fund operations,
working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months at current activity levels.
However, if work activity increases, there could be a strain on working capital.
Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW Corporation and Honing, Inc., as
guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million,
including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the
ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
As of December 31, 2018, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $52.2 million, after taking into account the
outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.7 million issued under the facility. For additional information on the ABL
Credit Facility, see "Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility," Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Backlog
Backlog typically consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, signed contract or
letter of award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically,
the Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time.
The Company believes that its backlog should help mitigate the impact of negative market conditions; however, slow
recovery in the commodity prices or an extended downturn in the global economy or future restrictions on, or declines in, oil
and gas exploration and production could have a negative impact on the Company and its backlog. The Company’s product
42
backlog was approximately $270.0 million at December 31, 2018 and $207.3 million at December 31, 2017. The backlog at the
end of 2018 represents an increase of approximately $62.7 million, or 30.2% from the end of 2017. The Company’s backlog
balance during 2018 was negatively impacted by translation adjustments of approximately $3.1 million, due primarily to the
weakening of the U.S. dollar and by approximately $11.7 million in cancellations.
The following table represent the change in backlog.

(1) The backlog data shown above includes all bookings as of December 31, 2018, including contract awards and signed purchase orders for which the contracts would not be considered enforceable or
qualify for the practical expedient under ASC 606. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $84 million related to contract awards is included in our backlog. As a result, this table above will not agree to
the disclosed performance obligations of $42.0 million within "Revenue Recognition (Adoption of ASC 606)", Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser
(TTR) systems and related services for the development of the CRD Project located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with
the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project is included within the backlog balance presented in
the table above; however, due to ongoing territorial discussions between China and Vietnam, the CRD Project may experience
continued delays or cancellation.
The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2018 product backlog by December 31,
2019. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2018 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and
manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary,
Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. Following an interim
amendment to extend the term of the contract pending the resolution of discussions, the Company entered into an amendment
on October 17, 2016 to extend the duration of the contract until July 2020. The contract was valued at $650.0 million, net of
Brazilian taxes, at exchange rates in effect at that time (approximately $342.2 million based on the December 31, 2018
exchange rate of 3.8748 Brazilian real to 1.00 U.S. dollar) if all the equipment under the contract was ordered. Amounts are
included in the Company’s backlog as purchase orders under the contract are received. Revenues of approximately $164.0
million have been recognized on this contract through December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s backlog
included $9.3 million of purchase orders under this Petrobras contract. The Company has not recognized revenue of
approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2018 for certain items of equipment that were completed but not yet accepted
for delivery by Petrobras. If Petrobras does not ultimately accept these items for delivery or if they refuse to accept these or
similar items completed in the future, the Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected. As part of the
amendment to the contract, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately $25.3 million
(based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of December 31, 2018, Petrobras had issued a total of three purchase orders
(one during each year of 2016, 2017 and 2018) totaling the committed amount. The Company cannot provide assurance that
Petrobras will order all of the equipment under the contract. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject to unexpected
adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”

Geographic Segments
The Company’s operations are organized into three geographic segments—Western Hemisphere (including North and
South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in
Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East;
headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services, and the Company has major
manufacturing facilities in all three of its regional headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil. Revenues for each of these
segments are dependent upon the ultimate sale of products and services to the Company’s customers. For information on
revenues by geographic segment, see "Geographic Segments", Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Currency Risk
The Company has operations in various countries around the world and conducts business in a number of different
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real. Our significant foreign
subsidiaries may also have monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency. These monetary assets
and liabilities are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates which may result in non-cash gains and losses primarily due
to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and each subsidiary’s functional currency.
The Company generally attempts to minimize its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in
local currency in amounts equal to the Company’s estimated operating costs payable in local currency and in U.S. dollars for
the balance of the contracts. The Company had, net of income taxes, a transaction gain of $0.8 million in 2018, a transaction
loss in $4.0 million in 2017 and a transaction gain of $25.6 million in 2016. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to protect itself against such fluctuations in the future. The Company has put in place an active cash management process
to convert excess foreign currency and concentrate this cash in certain of our holding company bank accounts to minimize
foreign currency risk and increase investment income.
The Company conducts business in certain countries that limit repatriation of earnings. Further, there can be no assurance
that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the
future. The Company also has significant investments in countries other than the United States, principally its manufacturing
operations in Scotland, Singapore, Brazil and, to a lesser extent, Norway. The functional currency of these foreign operations is
the local currency except for Singapore, where the U.S. dollar is used. Financial statement assets and liabilities in the functional
currency are translated at the end of the period exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following
accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial

Product revenues
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
•
•
product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and
product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in
time.
Revenues recognized under the over time method
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
•
•
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring
more than one year in duration;
•
the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates;
44
•
•
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and
the Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment
includes a reasonable profit margin.
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk
factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a
quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates,
including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the
revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the
period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated
actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the
specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer
prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in
which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one
year. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, receivables included $57.0 million and $41.0 million of unbilled receivables,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were 22 projects representing approximately 16% of the Company’s
total revenues and approximately 23% of its product revenues, and eight projects during 2017 representing approximately 13%
of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 16% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using over time
method of accounting.
Revenues recognized under the point in time method
Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the over time method, are recorded at the
point in time that the customer obtains control of the promised asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. This
point in time recognition aligns with the time of shipment, which is when the Company typically has a present right to
payment, title transfers to the customer, the customer or its carrier has physical possession and the customer has significant
risks and rewards of ownership. The Company may provide product storage to some customers. Revenues for these products
are recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer, the reason for storage is requested by
the customer, the product is separately identified, the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer and the Company
does not have the ability to use or direct the use of the product. This point in time typically occurs when the products are moved
to storage. We receive payment after control of the products has transferred to the customer.
Service revenues
The Company recognizes service revenues from two sources:
•
•
technical advisory assistance; and
rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products.
The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, and
services separately. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as
whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the
Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel. The contracts
for these services are typically considered day-to-day.
Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded using the over time method based on the remaining steps that
need to be completed as the refurbishment process is performed. The measurement of progress considers, among other things,
the time necessary for completion of each step in the reconditioning plan, the materials to be purchased, labor and ordering
procedures. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly).
Inventories. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs,
which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory
purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are
performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and
market conditions.
Inventory Reserves. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are
established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The Company determines the reserve
percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory
45
items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories of $108.6
million and $83.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those
projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for
impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We complete our annual
impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the
estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow
approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying
assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of
a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates,
future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value, and future market
conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If
the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the
amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Contingent Liabilities. The Company establishes reserves for estimated loss contingencies when the Company believes a
loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in net
income in the period in which different or additional facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect
the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are
based upon the Company’s assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the outcome differ
from the Company’s assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements, contracts or
operations.
New Accounting Standards
The information set forth under Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption "New
Accounting Standards" is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is currently exposed to certain market risks related to interest rate changes on its short-term investments
and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions,
forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such transactions. There have been no
material changes in market risks for the Company from December 31, 2017.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the United States dollar.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future. In periods
where the dollar is strong as compared to other currencies, it is possible that foreign sales may reflect a decline in profits due to
translation. It does not appear the Company’s sales have experienced significant profit declines. See “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Currency Risk” in Item 7 of this report.
The Company uses a sensitivity analysis model to measure the potential impact on revenue and net income of a 10%
adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar over the previous year. Based upon this model, a
10% decrease would have resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $13.0 million and an increase in net income of
approximately $0.1 million for 2018. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate decrease projected above will
materialize as fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond the Company’s control.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
•
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management has designed its internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and
principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based
on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013),
our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, who audited the consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dril-Quip, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the
index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion,
the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or
fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

approximately $20.0 million, which was integrated into the Company's existing Western Hemisphere operations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Company’s more significant
estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories and contingent liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash
equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest
in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company’s investment
objectives continue to be the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
Trade Receivables
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to amounts estimated to be
uncollectible. This estimate is based upon historical collection experience combined with a specific review of each customer’s
outstanding trade receivable balance. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however,
actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance.
55
Inventories
Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the
lower of cost or net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are
calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory purchased from
third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on
slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market
conditions.
Inventory Reserves. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are
established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The Company determines the reserve
percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory
items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories of $108.6
million and $83.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those
projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives. We capitalize costs incurred to enhance, improve and extend the useful lives of our property and equipment and
expense costs incurred to repair and maintain the existing condition of our assets.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for
impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We complete our annual
impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the
estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow
approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying
assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of
a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates,
future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value, and future market
conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If
the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the
amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, an impairment charge is recognized by
reflecting the asset at its fair value. We review the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets based upon estimated
future cash flows while taking into consideration assumptions and estimates, including the future use of the asset, remaining
useful life of the asset and service potential of the asset. Additionally, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net
realizable value.
Restructuring costs and other charges
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, combined with the impact of decreased capital expenditure budgets within
the industry driven by sustained low oil prices, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions
and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated
with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee
termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash
inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of
expected changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of
approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation
efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of
operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Additionally, in connection with our preparation and review of the financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of
current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 9, Goodwill.
Income Taxes
56
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are provided on
income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income
taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future
tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts that are
expected more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions as income taxes in its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenues
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
•
•
product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and
product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in
time.
Revenues recognized under the over time method
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
•
•
•
•
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring
more than one year in duration;
the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates;
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and
• The Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment
includes a reasonable profit margin.
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk
factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a
quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates,
including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the
revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the
period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated
actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the
specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer
prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in
which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one
year. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, receivables included $57.0 million and $41.0 million of unbilled receivables,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were 22 projects representing approximately 16% of the Company’s
total revenues and approximately 23% of its product revenues, and eight projects during 2017 representing approximately 13%
of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 16% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using over time
method of accounting.
Revenues recognized under the point in time method
Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the over time method, are recorded at the
point in time that the customer obtains control of the promised asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. This
point in time recognition aligns with the time of shipment, which is when the Company typically has a present right to
payment, title transfers to the customer, the customer or its carrier has physical possession and the customer has significant
risks and rewards of ownership. The Company may provide product storage to some customers. Revenues for these products
are recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer, the reason for storage is requested by
the customer, the product is separately identified, the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer and the Company
does not have the ability to use or direct the use of the product. This point in time typically occurs when the products are moved
to storage. We receive payment after control of the products has transferred to the customer.
57
Service revenues
The Company recognizes service revenues from two sources:
•
•
technical advisory assistance; and
rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products.
The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, and
services separately. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as
whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the
Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel. The contracts
for these services are typically considered day-to-day.
Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded using the over time method based on the remaining steps that
need to be completed as the refurbishment process is performed. The measurement of progress considers, among other things,
the time necessary for completion of each step in the reconditioning plan, the materials to be purchased, labor and ordering
procedures. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly).
Lease revenues
The Company earns lease revenues from the rental of running tools. Rental revenues are recognized within leasing
revenues on a dayrate basis over the lease term.
Practical Expedients
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one
year or less.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates except for
revenues and expenses, which are translated at average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity and have no effect on current earnings or cash flows.
Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. The Company
experienced exchange losses (gains) of approximately $(0.8) million, $12.7 million and $(25.6) million during the year ended
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, net of income taxes. These amounts are included in selling, general and
administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a pre-tax basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The
carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include trade receivables. The
Company grants credit to its customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic
credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for potential losses, and actual losses have historically been within management’s expectations.
In addition, the Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which
invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. Changes in the
financial markets and interest rates could affect the interest earned on short-term investments.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of
stock options and awards using the treasury stock method.
3. New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring (1) recognition of
58
lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and (2) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Topic
842 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective approach is
required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain
practical expedients. We expect to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any
expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct
costs for any expired or existing leases. We additionally expect to use the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the
lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component. We will adopt this guidance at the adoption date of
January 1, 2019, using the transition method that allows us to initially apply Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We do not expect to
recognize a material adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. We are additionally assessing the impact of Topic 842 on
our internal controls over financial reporting.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We lease certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles
and equipment under both operating and capital lease arrangements. Capital leases are expected to be accounted for as finance
leases upon adoption of Topic 842, and we do not expect any significant changes to the accounting for such leases upon adoption.
Under Topic 842, operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments. Under Topic 842, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, upon adoption of Topic 842,
we will use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
The operating lease ROU assets will also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may
include options to extend or terminate the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense under Topic 842 will be
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we
expect to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component under Topic 842.
The adoption of Topic 842 will have an estimated $7.1 million impact on our consolidated balance sheet based on our
current portfolio of leases due to the recognition of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 is not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated income statement or our consolidated cash flow statement. Because of
the transition method we will use to adopt Topic 842, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the
adoption of Topic 842 will have no impact on our previously reported results. The future minimum lease payments for our
operating leases as of December 31, 2018 are discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. The undiscounted
total of such payments was $9.4 million. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we expect to recognize operating lease ROU assets and
lease liabilities that reflect the present value of these future payments. After the adoption of Topic 842, we will first report the
operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019 based on our lease portfolio as of that date.
The components of our historic lease expense and the future lease payments are discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements. The capital leases addressed in Note 14 are expected to be accounted for as finance leases upon adoption
of Topic 842, and we do not expect any significant changes to the accounting for such leases upon adoption.
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” On January 1,
2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related
amendments (the "new revenue standard”) for contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application using the
modified retrospective method.
We recognized the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening
balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for $1.7 million. Therefore, the comparative information for prior periods has
not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
A majority of the Company's revenues are not subject to the new revenue standard. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in
a decrease of approximately $1.6 million in our results from operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and did not have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. A majority of
our product revenues continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities.
4. Business Acquisitions
TIW Acquisition
On October 14, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Pearce Industries, Inc. to acquire all the outstanding
common stock, par value $100.00 per share, of TIW for a cash purchase price of $142.7 million, which was subject to
customary adjustments for cash and working capital. The acquisition closed on November 10, 2016 with the intention to
59
strengthen the Company's liner hanger sales and increase market share. Additionally, the acquisition of TIW gave Dril-Quip a
presence in the onshore oil and gas market. Total acquisition costs through December 31, 2017 in connection with the purchase
of TIW were $2.5 million and were expensed in general and administrative costs.
Summary of Unaudited Pro Forma Information
TIW's results of operations have been included in Dril-Quip's financial statements for the period subsequent to the closing
of the acquisition on November 10, 2016. Business acquired from TIW contributed revenues of $49.4 million, a pre-tax
operating loss of $15.5 million and a net loss of $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
OPT
On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired OPT for approximately $20.0 million, which was subject to customary
adjustments for cash and working capital. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with
ASC 805. The purchase price was subject to closing adjustments and was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition does not
have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. OPT's results of operations for the periods prior to this
acquisition were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other long-term liabilities consist of contingent consideration related to the OPT acquisition in the amount of $2.0
million.

December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The amount of revenues from performance obligations satisfied (or partially
satisfied) in previous periods was $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The contract liabilities primarily relate
to advance payments from customers and are included in "Customer prepayments" in our accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the over
60
time method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and is
included in "Trade receivables, net" in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to the
receivables when the rights become unconditional.
Obligations for returns and refunds were considered immaterial as of December 31, 2018.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations from our over time
product lines was $42.0 million as of December 31, 2018. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 98%
and 2% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized
thereafter.
The Company applies the practical expedient available under the new revenue standard and does not disclose
information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

8. Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring Charges
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, including lower commodity prices, the decline in expected offshore rig
counts, decreases in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects, as
well as the decline in our stock price in December 2018 which resulted in our market capitalization decreasing to below the
61
carrying value of our assets, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the
reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company
adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not
returning until after 2025. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0
million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended
December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of
approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific
products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting
services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and
other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Goodwill
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded
an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market
conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 9, Goodwill.
2017 Impairment of Inventory and Long-lived Assets
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after
considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined
the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to
projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a
result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we
recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets. No additional

At October 1, 2018, the Company performed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units and concluded that
there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units exceeded its carrying value.
Relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on goodwill include: macroeconomic conditions; industry
and market conditions, such as commodity prices; operating cost factors; overall financial performance; the impact of
dispositions and acquisitions; and other entity-specific events. Further declines in commodity prices or sustained lower
valuation for the Company's common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of reporting unit fair value which, in turn,
could lead to an impairment of reporting unit goodwill.
The fair values were determined using the net present value of the expected future cash flows for each reporting unit.
During the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determined the fair value of each of its reporting units as a
whole using discounted cash flow analysis, which requires significant assumptions and estimates about the future operations of
each reporting unit. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our revised strategic budget for
2019 and for future periods, and management’s beliefs about future activity levels. The discount rates we used for future
periods could change substantially if the cost of debt or equity were to significantly increase or decrease, or if we were to
choose different comparable companies in determining the appropriate discount rates for our reporting units. Forecasted cash
flows in future periods were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered long-term earnings growth rates.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity
prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with
certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization
dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in
connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this
analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended
December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill
balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim
goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71%. Further
declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could
indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional
impairment charges associated with goodwill. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016.

At October 1, 2017, the Company performed its annual impairment test on its indefinite and definite-lived intangible
assets and concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those intangible assets
exceeded its carrying value. In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced
by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential
delays associated with certain of our long term projects. As a result, we determined that the trademark asset is no longer
indefinite lived and determined a 15-year useful life to be appropriate based on our current market forecast.
Amortization expense was $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $0.2 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on
the carrying value of intangible assets at December 31, 2018, amortization expense for the subsequent five years is estimated to
be as follows: 2019—$2.2 million; 2020—$2.1 million; 2021—$2.1 million; 2022—$2.1 million; and 2023—$2.1 million.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, the Company has assessed whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In
making this determination, the Company considered taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted, the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The Company has a three-year
cumulative loss at December 31, 2018 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and has recorded a valuation
allowance at December 31, 2018 of $31.8 million against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (US Tax Reform).
In 2017, we recorded provisional amounts for certain enactment-date effects of US Tax Reform by applying the guidance provided
in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 because we had not yet completed our enactment-date accounting for these said effects. In 2017,
the Company recorded tax expense related to the enactment-date effects of US Tax Reform that included recording the one-time
transition tax liability related to undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were not previously taxed and adjusting
deferred tax assets and liabilities. The changes to the 2017 enactment-date provisional amounts increased the effective tax rate in
2018 by 13.7%. At December 31, 2018, we have now completed our accounting for all the enactment-date income tax effects of
US Tax Reform. As further discussed below, during 2018, we recognized adjustments of $15.8 million to the provisional amounts
recorded at December 31, 2017 and included these adjustments as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
US Tax Reform eliminated the deferral of U.S. income tax on the historical unrepatriated earnings by imposing a transition
tax, which is a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings. The transition tax is assessed on the U.S.
shareholder’s share of the foreign corporation’s accumulated foreign earnings that have not previously been taxed. Earnings in
the form of cash and cash equivalents will be taxed at a rate of 15.5% and all other earnings will be taxed at a rate of 8.0%. As of
December 31, 2017, we accrued income tax liabilities of $32.6 million under the transition tax.
Upon further analyses of US Tax Reform and additional Notices and regulations issued and proposed by the US Department
of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, we finalized our calculations of the transition tax liability during 2018. We
decreased our December 31, 2017 provisional amount by $15.8 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense
from continuing operations.
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the rate expected to apply when these temporary differences are expected
to be realized or settled. As of December 31, 2017, we remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at
which they were expected to reverse in the future, by recording a provisional amount of $13.6 million. Upon further analysis of
certain aspects of US Tax Reform and refinement of our calculations during the year ended December 31, 2018, we adjusted our
provisional amount by $1.6 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
US Tax Reform subjects a US shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI). We have elected to
account for GILTI in the year that the tax is incurred as a period expense.
Certain undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and,
accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided thereon. The estimate of undistributed earnings of the Company’s
foreign subsidiaries amounted to $453 million as of December 31, 2018. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends
or otherwise, after consideration of the transition tax, the Company may be subject to both income taxes and withholding taxes
payable. Determination of the amount of the potential tax liability on repatriation is not practicable at this time.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements.
To recognize a tax position, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained
upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax
position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the
consolidated financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized with respect to any tax position is measured as the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company had an uncertain tax
position of $18.6 million at December 31, 2018 due to uncertainty in tax positions taken in the U.S. and certain foreign tax
67
jurisdictions. The tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are the years ended December 31,
2012 through December 31, 2018.

The amounts above exclude accrued interest and penalties of $1.1 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million at December 31,
2018, 2017 and 2016 respectively. The Company classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions within Tax
expense(benefit) in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
It is reasonably possible that the Company's existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the
year ending December 31, 2019, primarily due to the progression of any audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation. However,
the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential changes in its existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits due
to various uncertainties, such as the unresolved nature of any possible audits. As of December 31, 2018, if recognized, $8.2 million
of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
The Company paid $3.8 million, $8.4 million and $23.0 million in income taxes in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

13. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a defined-contribution 401(k) plan covering domestic employees and a defined-contribution pension
plan covering certain foreign employees. The Company generally makes contributions to the plans equal to each participant’s
eligible contributions for the plan year up to a specified percentage of the participant’s annual compensation. The Company’s
contribution expense was $4.1 million, $4.3 million and $4.6 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
14. Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW and Honing, Inc., as
guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million,
including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the
68
ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the
Company, TIW, Honing, Inc., and future significant domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under
the ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s personal property, and bear interest at the
Company’s option at either (i) the CB Floating Rate (as defined therein), calculated as the rate of interest publicly announced
by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the
date such change occurs, with such CB Floating Rate not being less than Adjusted One Month LIBOR (as defined therein) or
(ii) the Adjusted LIBOR (as defined therein), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from
1.00% to 1.50% per annum for CBFR loans and 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on
the Company’s leverage ratio. The unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from
0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. Interest on Eurodollar
loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on CB Floating Rate
loans is payable monthly in arrears.
The ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit the Company’s ability to,
among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens;
(4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The ABL Credit Facility also
requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0, based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein)
to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the ABL Credit Facility is under
certain levels. If the Company fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the
commitments under the ABL Credit Facility could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility
may be declared immediately due and payable. The ABL Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to the
Company’s other indebtedness. The Company is in compliance with the related covenants as of December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2018, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $52.2 million, after taking into account the
outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.7 million issued under the facility.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment. Total lease expense
incurred was $5.4 million, $6.0 million and $5.0 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Future annual minimum lease
commitments at December 31, 2018 are as follows: 2019—$2.0 million; 2020—$1.5 million; 2021—$0.8 million; 2022—$0.5
million; 2023—$0.4 million; and thereafter—$4.2 million.
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil and
subsequently transferred them to its facility in the State of Rio de Janeiro. During that period, the Company’s Brazilian
subsidiary paid taxes to the State of Espirito Santo on its imports. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Company’s Brazilian
subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation
of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Company’s understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two assessments totaling
approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State
of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Company has objected to
these assessments on the grounds that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the
Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed appeals with a
State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul both of these tax assessments following rulings against the Company by the tax
administration’s highest council. In connection with those appeals, the Company deposited with the court a total amount of
approximately $8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessments with penalties and
interest. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the judicial court process is probable. Based upon
this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
Since 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary has paid taxes on the importation of goods directly to the State of Rio de
Janeiro and the Company does not expect any similar issues to exist for periods subsequent to 2007.
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing
areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the
condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, certain of the Company's products are used in potentially hazardous drilling,
69
completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. Although
exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future
developments will not adversely impact the Company.
The Company is also involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no
assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.

In 2018, BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2017 and
2016, Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s total
revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2018, 2017 or 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company pursued a restructuring of its entities to prepare it for potential increased
activity in international markets. The main focus of the restructuring was to consolidate excess foreign cash held offshore and
create an internal financing capability. The excess foreign cash is now held in a treasury concentration center in the Eastern
Hemisphere where it is invested when not required to fund international operations. When required, these funds can be easily
deployed to meet the working capital requirements of foreign operations. This structure was put in place as the Company
expects that when the market rebounds, future work will come from international markets, especially Europe and Asia Pacific.
The Company’s operations are organized into three geographic segments—Western Hemisphere (including North and
South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in
Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East;
headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major
manufacturing facilities in all three of its regional headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil.
Eliminations of operating profits are related to intercompany inventory transfers that are deferred until shipment is made
to third party customers.
17. Stockholders’ Equity
On November 24, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share
of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2008. Each Right entitled
the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a “Fractional Share”) of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $100 per
Fractional Share, subject to adjustment. The Rights were exercisable in the event any person or group acquired 15% or more of
the Company’s common stock, and until such time were inseparable from and traded with the Company's common stock. The
related rights agreement was amended on February 26, 2018 to accelerate the expiration of the Rights from the close of
business on November 24, 2018 to the close of business on February 26, 2018, and had the effect of terminating the rights
agreement on that date. At the time of the termination of the rights agreement, all of the Rights distributed to holders of the
Company’s common stock pursuant to the rights agreement expired.

18. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards
On May 13, 2004, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (as amended
in 2012 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 10, 2012, the “2004 Plan”), which reserved up to 2,696,294
shares of common stock to be used in connection with the 2004 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 2004 Plan are
employees holding positions of responsibility with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of
Directors.
On May 12, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the
“2017 Plan”), which reserved up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock to be used in connection with the 2017 Plan. Persons
eligible for awards under the 2017 Plan are employees with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board
of Directors.
Stock Options
Options granted under the 2004 Plan have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative annual
increments of one-fourth of the total number of shares of common stock subject thereto, beginning on the first anniversary
of the date of the grant. No stock options have been granted under the 2017 Plan.
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The expected life was based on the Company’s historical trends, and volatility is based on the historical volatility
over the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date. The
Company does not pay dividends and, therefore, there is no assumed dividend yield.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $0.7 million, $0.4 million and $1.0
million, respectively. The income tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $157,442, $153,759 and $357,000
for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were 6,180 anti-dilutive stock option shares
on December 31, 2018.
Stock-based compensation is recognized as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Income. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, there was no stock-based
compensation expense for stock option awards. No stock-based compensation expense was capitalized during 2018, 2017
and 2016.
Options granted to employees vest over four years and the Company recognizes compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. At December 31, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation
expense related to non-vested stock options as all outstanding options were fully vested.

Restricted Stock Awards
On October 28, 2018 and 2017, pursuant to the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan, respectively, the Company awarded
officers, directors and key employees restricted stock awards (RSAs), which is an award of common stock subject to time
vesting. The awards issued under both the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan are restricted as to transference, sale and other
disposition. These RSAs vest ratably over a three-year period. The RSAs may also vest in case of a change of control.
Upon termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, the RSAs that have not vested will be returned to the Company
resulting in stock forfeitures. The fair market value of the stock on the date of grant is amortized and charged to selling,
general and administrative expense over the stipulated time period over which the RSAs vest on a straight-line basis, net
of estimated forfeitures.

total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted
average period of 2.2 years. There were 239,952 anti-dilutive restricted shares on December 31, 2018.
Performance Unit Awards
On October 28, 2018, 2017 and 2016, pursuant to the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan, the Company awarded
performance unit awards (Performance Units) to officers and key employees. The Performance Units were valued based
on a Monte Carlo simulation at $54.62 for the 2018 grants, $54.64 for the 2017 grants and $53.46 for the 2016 grants,
approximately 126.8%, 131.7% and 110.3%, respectively, of the grant date share price. Under the plans, participants may
earn from 0% to 200% of their target award based upon the Company’s relative total share return (TSR) in comparison to
the 15 component companies of the Philadelphia Oil Service Index.
The TSR is calculated over a three-year period from October 1, 2016, 2017 and 2018 to September 30, 2019, 2020
and 2021, respectively, and assumes reinvestment of dividends for companies within the index that pay dividends, which
Dril-Quip does not. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation are as follows:
