Overview and Industry Outlook

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, government actions and measures taken to prevent its spread, and the potential to 

affect our operations, particularly in China. We are also monitoring the current global economic environment, specifically including inflationary pressures 
and the macroeconomic impact of the conflict in Ukraine, and any resulting impacts on our financial position and results of operations. Refer to “Item 1A. 
Risk Factors” for additional information.

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.  

Crude oil price recovery, which began in the latter half of 2020, continued in 2022 as the oil markets remained encouraging throughout the year. 
During 2022, crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $133.18 per barrel and a low of $76.02 per barrel. According to the January 2023 
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 $100.94 per barrel in 2022, and the price is forecasted to average $83.10 per barrel in 2023 and $77.57 per barrel in 2024. 
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.

The volatility in Brent crude oil prices over the past three years continues to have an effect on major integrated, large independent and foreign 
national oil and gas companies’ capital expenditure budgets. 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. 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.”

As the energy industry embraces a transition, Dril-Quip is actively pursuing opportunities to engage with customers that are working in the areas of 
carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). This nascent industry aligns well with the Company's core capabilities and expertise and also provides us 
with an avenue to expand our offerings. We see a healthy project pipeline developing and are actively engaging with customers to explore how we leverage 
our products and position to help them navigate through the energy transition.

Brent crude oil prices per barrel for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 are summarized below:

In its January 2023 Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA reported United States crude oil production averaged an estimated 11.9 million barrels per 

day in 2022 and is forecasted to average 12.4 million barrels per day in 2023. 

Products and Services

Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from three sources: products, services and leasing. Product revenues are derived from the sale of drilling and 
production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance and rework and reconditioning services. 
Leasing revenues are derived from rental tools used during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. In 2022, the Company derived 66.5% of its 
revenues from the sale of its products, 21.9% of its revenues from services and 11.6% from leasing revenues, compared to 66.1%, 23.0% and 10.9% for 
products, services and leasing in 2021, respectively, and 70.9%, 20.7% and 8.4% for products, services and leasing in 2020, 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 66.2% of 
its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2022, 63.8% in 2021 and 66.7% in 2020.

Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 33.8% of the 
Company’s total revenues in 2022, 36.2% in 2021 and 33.3% in 2020.

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, downhole tools, surface equipment and 
offshore rig equipment. The Company’s products are used primarily for exploration and production of 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 floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels (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. The Downhole Tool 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 as well as injecting CO2 into offshore 
reservoirs around the world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads systems, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors 
and associated pipe, production riser systems, subsea production trees, subsea manifolds and liner hangers.

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 systems 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 pounds per square inch (psi) internal pressure and is offered to the industry in a variety of configurations. The 
Company’s newest wellhead product, the e-Series Subsea Wellhead Systems (SS-15/20 BigBore II-e and SS-15 RLDe), are designed to contain higher 
pressures (up to 20,000 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 utilizing metal-to-metal sealing technology 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.

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 flow and pressure control valves, a wellhead connector, control equipment and various other 

components such as pressure/temperature sensors, chemical injection valves and flowline connection systems. Subsea trees are installed on a subsea 
wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well or control flow of CO2 injection into an offshore 
reservoir. 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 (and ultra-deepwater) areas or 
economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an established manufacturer of single, dual and concentric bore as well as 
horizontal bore production trees. Single bore subsea completion systems eliminate the need for an expensive multibore installation and workover riser, 
thereby saving both cost and installation time. The horizontal bore subsea production completion system 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. The concentric monobore vertical bore subsea production system accommodates numerous completion configuration 
possibilities including in tubing head and in the subsea wellhead. Dril-Quip’s newly patented VXTe design and technology allows for simpler installations 
within the wellhead completions by eliminating the requirements of special orientation devices like tubing heads. 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.

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 offers conventional and expandable state-of-the-art liner hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of 
difficult well applications such as High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and geothermal applications, resulting in improved industry recognition and 
market opportunities. 

Surface Equipment - Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, offshore CO2 injection installations, 

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 and gas production or CO2 injection. Platform production trees are similar to subsea 
production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than 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.

Rig Equipment - Rig equipment includes drilling riser systems, wellhead connectors, diverters, safety valves and cement manifolds. 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. 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. Cement manifolds are used to 
control the flow of cement and other fluids during the cementing operations of the well installation.

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, reconditioning, storage, and maintenance 
services on its customer-owned products. These services are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations and represented approximately 21.9% of 
revenues in 2022 compared to 23.0% in 2021 and 20.7% in 2020.

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 and/or commissioning 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; Villahermosa, Mexico; Shushufindi, Ecuador; Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, 
Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Alexandria, Egypt; Takoradi, Ghana; Shenzhen, 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; Alexandria, Egypt; Takoradi, Ghana; Tianjin, China; Doha, Qatar; Singapore; and Perth, Australia. The 
Company does not typically service, repair or recondition its competitors’ products. 

Leasing

The Company leases running and installation tools for use in installation or workover of its products. These tools are required to install, test 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; Villahermosa, Mexico; Shushufindi, Ecuador; Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; 
Shenzhen, China; Singapore; and Perth, Australia. These rentals are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations and represented approximately 
11.6% of revenues in 2022 compared to 10.9% in 2021 and 8.4% in 2020. 

Manufacturing

Dril-Quip has 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 use of quality control specialists and implementation of 
continuous improvement methodologies. These continuous improvement methodologies leverage Lean practices and focus on improving processes with the 
goal of providing world-class quality, delivery and service to our customers at the highest possible value.

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 API Q2 compliant. Dril-Quip works to maintain its high standards of product quality through the use of precision measuring equipment such 
as MRP gages, Faro Arms, Coordinate Measuring Machine and the application of Lean practices. 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 forged steel products which it 
procures from qualified forging suppliers located globally as well as domestically. 

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 made significant investments for a complete upgrade of it's manufacturing of 
subsea wellhead product line with the latest equipment and technology.

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.

Table of Contents

The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2022, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 

60% of total revenues, and Chevron Corporation and its affiliated companies (“Chevron”) accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. In 2021, the 
Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 59% of total revenues, and Chevron accounted for approximately 12% of total revenues. In 2020, 
the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 60% of total revenue, and Chevron accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. No 
other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in 2022, 2021 or 2020. 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. The Company's backlog primarily consists of our Subsea products. 
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 $240.9 million and $210.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The backlog at the end of 
2022 represents an increase of approximately $30.8 million, or 14.6%, from the end of 2021. The Company’s backlog balance was positively impacted 
during 2022 as our product bookings increased due to improved market conditions.  

The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2022 product backlog by December 31, 2023. The remaining backlog 
at December 31, 2022 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. 

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, Kuwait, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and 
the 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.

Increasingly, customers enter into long-term contracts (generally three years or more) with the Company covering the purchase of goods and 
services. These long-term contracts generally specify the products and services, the standard terms of the agreement and often times the price of the goods 
and services to be purchased. Purchase orders that reference this long-term agreement are then issued by the customer to the Company for specific 
quantities of the goods and services.  

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.

11

 
Table of Contents

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 up to 20,000 psi, well flowing temperatures 
beyond 350 degrees 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 research and 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 an effort to help reduce customers’ carbon footprint.

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 
manifolds, riser tensioners, and enhanced versions of subsea wellhead connectors and Dril-Quip’s industry leading subsea wellhead systems. Recent 
product development efforts focus on the evolution and enhancement of Dril-Quip’s subsea tree portfolio to align with projected market needs, ability to 
meet a wider array of customer applications, and offer customers overall project cost savings through technological advantages.

Dril-Quip’s product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas. 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.

 Following successful field trials in 2021, Dril-Quip achieved first commercial sales and installations of XPak De liner hanger.  This technology is a 
replacement and improvement to industry standard sub-mudline supplemental hanger systems. The XPak De adds value to operators by completing upper 
wellbore sections with reduced non-productive time, lower risk, and improved well integrity while reducing contingency costs, representing yet another 
successful e-series product introduction. Contracts awards were secured in 2022 for XPak De liner hanger operations in Brazil, US, and Guyana. Dril-Quip 
also celebrated our first liner hanger installation of XPak in Guyana in 2022 and contract awards for first operations in Suriname.

Over the course of the last several years Dril-Quip continued to meet new product milestones by delivering DXe hydraulic connectors and the 

installation of subsea wellhead systems, featuring the award-winning DXe profile, within the Norwegian North Sea sector. This added to the field history 
for the e-series technology that began with the installation of Dril-Quip’s first Horizontal Subsea Tree (HXT) in 2020. Dril-Quip also continued research 
and development efforts within the Subsea Wellhead System and Subsea Product System product lines. The Company completed development of high 
pressure sub-mudline supplemental hanger systems and delivered them with its SS-20 BB-IIe subsea wellhead system, which accommodates higher 
pressures and provides greater flexibility in casing well programs. Dril-Quip has also been awarded the Offshore Technology Conference’s Spotlight on 
New Technology Award for several of its innovative products, namely the BADGeR specialty casing connector, and the VXTe self-aligning Subsea Tree 
technology. The BADGeR connector features a hands-free anti-rotation device that automatically engages and enables remote make-up operations that 
removes rig personnel from the red zone. By lowering operating costs and providing superior fatigue and metal sealing performance, it aligns and joins 
Dril-Quip’s e-Series product family that have also been recognized for technological innovation and customer benefits. The VXTe self-aligning technology 
uses a self-aligning mandrel to passively align the subsea tree to the tubing hanger, without regard to the tubing hanger’s orientation in the wellhead. Dril-
Quip’s VXTe system provides oil companies with an opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing the amount of equipment and time required 
for subsea completions when compared to those activities today.

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 utilized by a major oil company for its high pressure, high temperature applications was installed at the end of 2021, further 
strengthening Dril-Quip’s position in the subsea market. A contract for the same system was also awarded in late 2021 by a major oil company in Brazil.

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; 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 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.

Talent and Human Capital Management

We believe that building a diverse, inclusive, engaged and empowered workforce will enable us to manage our business with a focus on health and 

safety, the environment, ethical behavior, quality and being a good corporate citizen in all countries in which we operate. Our people are the key to 
achieving our vision, and nurturing a transparent, collaborative and development focused culture drives alignment with our business strategy to achieve 
sustainable long-term shareholder value. We aim to attract and retain the right talent with the competencies and motivation required to execute our business 
strategy. Our global human capital strategy drives a consistent approach to human capital management and provides tools to facilitate employee 
development. Performance management and leadership succession are a key part of our people development process that helps identify and develop future 
leadership talent. Annually, our board provides oversight to the leadership succession process using our human capital analytics on workforce 
demographics, diversity and inclusion and hiring and attrition rates. These metrics are tracked, and progress is measured at cascading levels of the 
organization.

Core Values and Culture

Fostering and maintaining a strong, healthy culture is a key strategic focus. Our core values reflect who we are and the way our employees interact 

with one another, our customers, suppliers and shareholders. We believe in doing the right thing always. Ethics and integrity are the foundation of our brand 
and the guiding principles for all we do. Safety and environment protection are our highest priorities. Our culture of collaboration helps to work together 
with customers to provide the best solution with our innovative technology and services. Our transparent culture facilitates open communication, feedback, 
and helps build trust.

Employees 

The total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 2022 was 1,356, a 1.0% increase from December 31, 2021. Of those 1,356 
employees, 581 were located in the United States. Substantially all of the Company’s employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and 
the Company considers its employee relations to be good. At the end of fiscal year 2022, the Company’s global workforce was 85.8% male and 14.2% 
female. In the U.S., ethnicity of our workforce was 44.2% White, 34.1% Hispanic, 9.3% Asian, 8.4% Black and 4.0% Other. As a manufacturing 
organization, our workforce is made up of a high percentage of roles that are predominantly held by male workers such as welders, machinists, and 
workshop and offshore technicians. 

The Company’s operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. We provide employee wages and salaries that are competitive 

and consistent with employee positions, skill levels, experience, knowledge and geographic location. 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.”

Diversity and Inclusion

Our culture is underpinned by our core values, including our commitment to inclusion and diversity. We have developed our diversity, equity and 

inclusion framework to further emphasize our vision, values and strategic objectives to support our talent strategy and desired cultural alignment. Diversity 
in our workplace broadens thinking and stimulates innovation. A more diverse workplace impacts how we act and what we do and opens our minds to be 
more creative and collaborative. The Company has implemented several measures that focus on accountability for making progress in diversity. The 
Company has partnered with non-profit and community organizations to support and develop a diverse talent pipeline. The Company’s commitment to 
diversity recruiting includes partnering with a number of universities, non-profit and community organizations to support and develop a diverse talent 
pipeline. In their workforce planning forecasts, the Company’s business units are developing initiatives and goals to recruit diverse talent across all 
leadership and skill areas. The Company also trains its recruiting workforce in diversity sourcing strategies and partners with external organizations that 
develop and supply diverse talent pipeline.

As part of our diversity and inclusion efforts, we implemented a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion framework and launched Cultivating Diversity, 
Equity and Inclusion at work and Unconscious Bias training programs. These programs are aimed at driving further alignment to reduce unconscious bias 
in our hiring and other employment practices and to build our network of diversity champions among our employees, managers, and executives. 

The Women Empowerment Network (WEN) organized several health, wellness and career related programs to support a women’s peer network with 
a focus on furthering career development opportunities. Our commitment to supporting communities to further improve employee engagement has resulted 
in overwhelming response to volunteering efforts. Our global employees have come together and have contributed during natural disaster relief work to 
supporting several local charity events.

Employee Development

The attraction, development and retention of employees is a critical success factor for the Company. To support the advancement of all of our 
employees, we offer training and development programs encouraging advancement from within. We leverage both formal and informal programs to 
identify, foster, and retain top talent at both the corporate and operating unit level. Various internship programs and informal mentoring demonstrate the 
Company’s ongoing commitment and initiatives towards accelerating our future leaders. The executive team also commits substantial time in evaluating 
the talent of our leadership team with a focus on addressing leadership gaps through executive coaching and mentoring. To help determine whether we 
meet our goal of providing a rich experience for our employees, we measure organizational culture and engagement which help us build on the 
competencies that are important for our future success. We periodically engage independent third parties to conduct cultural and employee engagement 
surveys. These include corporate culture assessments, as well as real-time feedback on employee engagement and employee well-being focused on 
physical, emotional, social and financial health.

Competitive Compensation

Dril-Quip’s compensation programs are designed to align the compensation of our employees with the Company’s performance and to provide the 

proper incentives to attract, retain and motivate employees to achieve superior results. The structure of our compensation programs balances incentive 
earnings for both short-term and long-term performance. Specifically:

• We provide employee wages that are competitive and consistent with employee positions, skill levels, experience, knowledge and geographic 

location. 

• We engage nationally recognized outside compensation and benefits consulting firms to independently evaluate the effectiveness of our executive 

compensation and benefit programs and to provide benchmarking against our peers within the industry.

• We align our executives’ long-term equity compensation with our shareholders’ interests by linking realizable pay with stock performance. 

• Annual increases and incentive compensation are based on merit, which is communicated to employees at the time of hiring and documented 

through our talent management process as part of our annual review procedures and upon internal transfer and/or promotion. 

Employee Benefits

We have demonstrated a history of investing in our workforce by offering competitive salaries and wages. To foster a stronger sense of ownership 

and align the interests of employees with shareholders, restricted stock units are provided to eligible employees under our broad-based stock incentive 
programs. Furthermore, we offer comprehensive and locally relevant and innovative benefits to all eligible employees worldwide. In the U.S, these include, 
among other benefits:

• Comprehensive health insurance coverage is offered to employees working an average of 20 hours or more each week

• Company paid group dental and vision care

• The Company sponsors a defined-contribution (cash balance) 401(k) plan covering domestic employees and a defined-contribution pension plan 
covering certain foreign employees

• Short-term and long-term disability benefits are provided to all full-time employees for added income protection 

• Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

• Company paid life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits

• Employee assistance program for concerns or emotional issues surrounding personal or work life. Unlimited access to
consultants by telephone and tools online for help with short-term problems

• Parental leaves are provided to all new parents for birth, adoption or foster placement. 

Health, Safety and Environment

Our people are our greatest asset and a key driver to our success in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE). Our HSE policy includes a commitment 
to provide safe and healthy working conditions for the prevention of work-related injury and ill health and is appropriate for the purpose, size and context 
of the organization. We established the Goal Zero program which requires each employee to hold themselves and those around them to the highest levels of 
safety, awareness and self-discipline. Goal Zero advocates conducting each activity in a manner that assures a safe outcome for ourselves, our co-workers 
and our families. Our vision is to create an environment where every employee embraces HSE as a core value and engages in Goal Zero. As part of our 
HSE policy we aim to identify and remediate any work practices that pose an HSE risk to our employees. The Company is devoted to creating a sustainable 
environment and implementing process improvements for both health and safety and the environment in the countries we operate. We evaluate our 
processes to ensure our protection schemes and work practices minimize these risks. Furthermore, we periodically evaluate our HSE objectives to remain 
aligned with our HSE goals and annually create a strategy focused on risk reduction to get us closer to zero incidents. This is the foundation on which Goal 
Zero is built as it shows commitment to identifying and controlling risk. 

Employee Turnover

We continually monitor employee turnover rates, both regionally and globally, as our success depends upon retaining our highly trained 

manufacturing and operating personnel. We believe the combination of competitive compensation and career growth and development opportunities help 
increase employee tenure and reduce voluntary turnover. Voluntary workforce turnover (rolling 12-month attrition) was 14.6% in December 2022. The 
average tenure of our employees is approximately 9 years, and about 43% of our employees have been employed by us for more than ten years.

Employee Recruitment

The Company works diligently to attract the best talent from a diverse range of sources in order to meet the current and future demands of our 
business. We have established relationships with trade schools, world-class universities, professional associations and industry groups to proactively attract 
talent. The Company has a strong employee value proposition that leverages our unique culture, collaborative working environment, shared sense of 
purpose, desire to do the right thing and entrepreneurial spirit to attract talent to our Company. 

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 products and 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 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. 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 goal to achieve a legally 
binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2 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. Although the Trump administration had withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Agreement 
on November 4, 2020, the Biden administration officially reentered the U.S. in the Paris Agreement in February 2021. In April 2021, the Biden 
administration announced a new goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% economy-wide by 2030 compared to 2005. In November 2021, 
the United States and other countries entered into the Glasgow Climate Pact, which includes a range of measures designed to address climate change, 
including but not limited to the phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies, reducing methane emissions by 30% by 2030, and cooperating toward the advancement 
of the development of clean energy. With the United States recommitting to the Paris Agreement, executive orders may be issued or federal legislation or 
regulatory initiatives may be adopted to achieve the agreement’s goals. Additionally, in August 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation 
Reduction Act, which contains tax inducements and other provisions that incentivize investment, development, and deployment of alternative energy 
sources and technologies, which could increase operating costs within the oil and gas industry and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.

The 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. Subsequently, on May 2, 2019, BSEE issued the 2019 Well Control Rule, the revised well control and blowout preventer rule governing 
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) activities. The new rule revised the then existing regulations impacting offshore oil and gas drilling, completions, 
workovers, and decommissioning activities. Specifically, the 2019 Well Control Rule addresses six areas of offshore operations: well design, well control, 
casing, cementing, real-time monitoring, and subsea containment. The revisions were targeted to ensure safety and environmental protection while 
correcting errors in the 2016 rule and reducing unnecessary regulatory burden. 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.  

In January 2021, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior issued an order preventing staff from producing any new fossil fuel leases or permits 

without sign-off from a top political appointee, and President Biden announced a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and offshore 
waters pending completion of a comprehensive review and reconsideration of federal oil and gas permitting and leasing practices, including consideration 
of whether to adjust royalties associated with oil and gas resources extracted from public lands and offshore waters or other appropriate action to account 
for corresponding climate costs. A federal court in the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction on this moratorium. Pursuant to the 
order, in November 2021, the Department of the Interior released a report identifying potential reforms to the federal oil and gas permitting and leasing 
practices. President Biden’s order also established climate change as a primary foreign policy and national security consideration, affirms that achieving 
net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before midcentury is a critical priority, affirms the Biden Administration’s desire to establish the United States as a 
leader in addressing climate change, generally further integrates climate change and environmental justice considerations into government agencies’ 
decision-making, and eliminates fossil fuel subsidies, among other measures. In August 2022, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the preliminary 
injunction on the moratorium and, subsequently, the Western District of Louisiana permanently enjoined the moratorium as limited to the 13 states that 
filed a lawsuit against the action.

Other parties are also pursuing lawsuits to stop or restrict offshore drilling.  For example, on January 27, 2022, the United States District Court for 
the District of Columbia found that Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s failure to calculate the potential emissions from foreign oil consumption had 
violated the agency’s approval of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico under the National Environmental Policy Act, and the decision is currently on 
appeal in the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 30, 2022, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals also found two 
previous oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico were unlawful for failure to properly analyze risk under the National Environmental Policy Act. These decisions 
may disrupt or delay drilling operations if the agency is forced to reassess the environmental impacts of the Gulf of Mexico drilling program.

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.

17

 
 
  
Table of Contents

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, were initially 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 
would increase to 25 percent until March 2, 2019. On May 9, 2019, USTR announced that the United States increased the level of tariffs from 10 percent to 
25 percent on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The President also ordered USTR to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially 
all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion. On August 13, 2019 and August 23, 2019, USTR announced the 
imposition of an additional tariff of 15 percent on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese imports, effective September 1, 2019 (or December 15, 
2019 for certain articles). Following the conclusion of a phase one trade deal with China, USTR suspended the implementation of the 15 percent additional 
duty on approximately $160 billion worth of Chinese imports and reduced the applicable duty from 15 percent to 7.5 percent for $120 billion worth of 
Chinese imports. Negotiations for a phase two trade deal with China had begun prior to the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic and if continued 
could lead to additional changes to the tariff rates described above. 

President Biden has indicated that these tariffs will likely remain in place while the new administration assesses the United States’ current posture, 

including a review of the phase one trade deal with China. The imposition of any additional tariffs or initiation of trade restrictions by or against the United 
States 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.

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). The three countries have all ratified the new agreement, and on July 1, 2020, the USMCA became 
effective.

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. Compliance with any new laws, regulations or other legal initiatives could result in 
significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, and could adversely impact our business and financial condition. 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.

Risks Related to Environmental, Social and Governance “ESG” 

Increasing attention to ESG matters may impact our business

We may not be able to adequately identify or manage ESG-related risks and opportunities, which may include failing to achieve ESG-related 
strategies and goals. Also, despite these aspirational goals, we may receive pressure from investors, lenders or other groups to adopt more aggressive 
climate or other ESG-related goals, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement such goals because of changes in activity levels, potential 
costs or technical or operational obstacles. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters 
have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Currently, there are no universal standards for such scores or 
ratings, but the importance of sustainability evaluations is becoming more broadly accepted by investors and shareholders. Such ratings are used by some 
investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Additionally, certain investors use these scores to benchmark companies against their peers and if 
a company is perceived as lagging, these investors may engage with companies to require improved ESG disclosure or performance. Moreover, certain 
members of the broader investment community may consider a company’s sustainability score as a reputational or other factor in making an investment 
decision. Consequently, a low sustainability score could result in exclusion of our stock from consideration by certain investment funds, engagement by 
investors seeking to improve such scores and a negative perception of our operations by certain investors.

We are subject to compliance with governmental regulations associated with climate change, energy conservation measures, or initiatives 

that stimulate demand for alternative forms of energy that could result in increased costs, limit the areas in which our clients’ oil and natural gas 
production may occur and reduced demand for our services, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

             Investor and societal expectations regarding voluntary ESG disclosures, and consumer demand for alternative forms of energy may result in 
increased costs, reduced demand for our services, reduced profits, increased risks of governmental investigations and private party litigation, and negative 
impacts on our stock price and access to capital markets. Our managerial ESG Steering Team is the primary group for overseeing and managing our ESG 
initiatives. Team members review the implementation and effectiveness of our ESG programs and policies and report on these matters to the Board of 
Directors. While we have sought voluntary aspirational goals for GHG emission reductions from base year 2018, we note that even with our governance 
oversight in place, we may not be able to adequately identify or manage ESG-related risks and opportunities, which may include failing to achieve ESG-
related aspirational goals. We have published voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters under an annual Sustainability Report and the Global Reporting 
Initiative, an international independent standards organization.

Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders and other market participants with respect to our ESG policies may 

impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks. 

Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their ESG policies. Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional 
investors, investment funds, lenders and other market participants are increasingly focused on ESG practices and in recent years have placed increasing 
importance on the implications and social cost of their investments. The increased focus and activism related to ESG and similar matters may hinder access 
to capital, as investors and lenders may decide to reallocate capital or not to commit capital as a result of their assessment of a company’s ESG practices. 
Companies that do not adapt to or comply with investor, lender or other industry shareholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or which are 
perceived to have not responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, may 
suffer from reputational damage and the business, financial condition or stock price of such a company could be materially and adversely affected.

We may face increasing pressures from investors, lenders and other market participants, who are increasingly focused on climate change, to 
prioritize sustainable energy practices, reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability. As a result, we may be required to implement more stringent 
ESG procedures or standards so that our existing and future investors and lenders remain invested in us and make further investments in us, especially 
given the specific business of providing drilling and production equipment for oil and gas exploration in which we are engaged. If we do not meet these 
standards, our business or our ability to access capital could be harmed. 

20

 
 
Table of Contents

Additionally, certain investors and lenders have and may continue to exclude companies engaged in drilling and production activity, such as us, from 

their investing portfolios altogether due to ESG factors. For example, New York State’s Pension Fund, which had already divested from nearly two dozen 
thermal coal companies in July 2020, announced in December 2020 that it would seek to divest from fossil fuel stocks by 2025 and sell its shares in other 
companies that contribute to climate change by 2040. Likewise, in January 2021, two of New York City’s largest pension funds, the New York City 
Employees’ Retirement System and the New York City Teachers’ Retirement System, approved the divestment of approximately $4 billion from fossil fuel 
companies, and the New York City Board of Education Retirement System is expected to follow suit. These limitations in both the debt and equity capital 
markets may affect our ability to grow as our plans for growth may include accessing those markets. If those markets are unavailable, or if we are unable to 
access alternative means of financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to implement our business strategy, which would have a material 
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to service our indebtedness. 

Further, it is likely that we will incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report and comply with wide ranging ESG 
requirements. Similarly, these policies may negatively impact the ability of our customers to access debt and capital markets. The occurrence of any of the 
foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Risks Related to Business, Operations and Industry

Our business may also be affected by new sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other responses to Russia’s invasion of 

Ukraine.

As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, certain members of the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others, have 

developed coordinated sanctions and export-control measure packages.
Based on actions taken and other public statements to date, these packages may include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

comprehensive financial sanctions against certain state-owned enterprises and Russian banks (including SWIFT cut-off);

a prohibition on transactions related to the Russian Central Bank;

additional designations of Russian individuals with significant business interests and government connections;

designations of individuals and entities involved in Russian military activities;

restrictions on investment in the Russian energy sector;

enhanced export controls and trade sanctions targeting Russia’s import of certain goods and technology; and

closure of airspace to Russian aircraft.

As the invasion of Ukraine continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether such governments or other governments will impose additional 

sanctions, export-controls or other economic or military measures against Russia. Although we have minimal operational exposure in Russia with no 
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, and we do not intend to commit further capital towards projects in Russia, the full impact of the invasion of 
Ukraine, including economic sanctions and export controls or additional war or military conflict, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is 
currently unknown and they could adversely affect oil and gas companies, including many of which are our customers, as well as the global supply chain. 
In addition, the continuation of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia could lead to other disruptions, instability and volatility in global markets and industries, 
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

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 macroeconomic activity;

the level of exploration and production activity;

interest rates and the cost of capital;

environmental regulation;

government initiatives to promote the use of renewable energy sources and public sentiment and consumer demand regarding renewable energy 
and electric vehicles;

21

 
Table of Contents

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

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;

technological advances affecting energy consumption;

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 macroeconomic events have contributed to crude oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. 
In addition, the effects of global health epidemics and concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has materially impacted demand for crude oil and 
natural gas which has contributed to further price volatility.

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. 

We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts and contract tenders.  

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, scrutiny of the drilling industry has 
resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to maintain 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 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.

22

 
Table of Contents

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. 

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 can result in an increase in our raw material costs. Like others in our industry, in 2022, we faced, and continue to face, unprecedented inflationary 
pressures. 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.

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 with respect to property damage, injury or death and 
pollution. Additionally, our insurance policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. 
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. 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.

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;

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.

23

 
Table of Contents

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 66.2% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in 2022, 63.8% in 2021 and 

66.7% in 2020. 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.

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.

The overall timing and level of transition of the global energy sector from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption to 

more renewable energy sources could adversely affect our business. 

Our current product offering is targeted to our customers that are engaged in the development and production of oil and gas. Any changes by our 

customers or the global energy sector from fossil-fuel production to renewable energy sources like wind and solar may negatively impact the demand for 
our products that are used in the drilling and production of oil and gas. The increasing penetration of renewable energy into the energy supply mix, the 
increased use of electric vehicles and improvements in energy storage may all affect the demand for our current products. Any transition of the global 
energy sector from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption to more renewable energy sources could have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Risks Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and developments in the global oil markets have had, and may continue to have, material adverse consequences 
for  general  economic,  financial  and  business  conditions,  and  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition,  results  of 
operations and liquidity and those of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the responses of governmental authorities, companies and individuals across the world to stem the spread of the virus 

have had a material negative impact on global economic activity and our business. Our manufacturing facilities rely on raw materials and components 
provided by our suppliers. The impacts of COVID-19 have caused and may continue to cause delays or disruptions in our supply chain. As a result, we 
have experienced and may continue experiencing manufacturing slow-downs, requiring us to seek to obtain alternate sources of supply, that may not be 
available or may be more expensive. We have experienced or may experience disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ 
or customers’ supply chains and business operations, including disruptions from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the 
supply of raw materials and components, personnel absences, or restrictions on the shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products. Such 
disruptions have had and could continue to have adverse ripple effects on our business. Further, governments have imposed and may continue to impose 
travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures that decrease the number of businesses open for operation and substantially reduce the 
number of people traveling to work or leaving their home to purchase goods and services. As a result, there has been substantial volatility in the demand for 
and the market prices of crude oil. Additionally, actions taken by OPEC+ related to crude oil supply have exacerbated the negative impact on the market 
prices for crude oil. Despite the current price recovery, uncertainty remains around the current level of oil prices as a result of the on-going effects of 
COVID-19 and the global vaccine efforts, as well as the uncertainty surrounding the longevity of the OPEC+ production agreements. 

Any prolonged period of economic slowdown or recession resulting from the negative effects of COVID-19 on economic and business prospects 

across the world may negatively impact crude oil prices and the demand for our products, and could have significant adverse consequences to our financial 
condition and the financial condition of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties. 

The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend 
largely on the pace and level of the recovery from the pandemic and whether overall economic activity returns to pre-pandemic levels, all of which are 
uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

Risks Related to Third-Party Relationships

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.

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, other oilfield contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of our customer base. In 2022, 
our top 15 customers represented approximately 60% of total revenues, and Chevron accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. In 2021 and 
2020, our top 15 customers represented approximately 59% and 60% of total revenues, respectively, while Chevron accounted for approximately 12% and 
11%, respectively of 2021 and 2020 total revenues. 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.

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. 

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, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions or disruptions of transportation related 
to the pandemic, including reduced availability of air transport, port closures and increased border controls or closures, have resulted in higher costs and 
delays, both on obtaining raw materials and shipping finished goods to customers. Any interruption or increased costs in the supply of raw materials needed 
to manufacture our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation with our customers.

Financial Risks

Inflation may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. 

Increases in the cost of wages, materials, parts, equipment and other operational components has the potential to adversely affect our results of 
operations, cash flows and financial position by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the 
prices we charge our customers for our products and services. In addition, inflation has also resulted in higher interest rates in the U.S., which could cause 
an increase in the cost of debt borrowing in the future, as well as supply chain shortages, an increase in the costs of labor, currency fluctuations and other 
similar effects.

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.

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 and intangible assets 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.

26

 
Table of Contents

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate our property and equipment and definite-lived 
intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Should the 
review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying value to the 
estimated fair value. We assess recoverability based on undiscounted future net cash flows. Estimating future net cash flows requires us to make 
judgements regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts are uncertain in that they 
require assumptions about our revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions and technological developments. If 
changes in these assumptions occur, our expectations regarding future net cash flows may change such that a material impairment could result. We incurred 
long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $5.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. These charges are reflected as “Restructuring and 
other charges” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

During 2022, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $133.18 per barrel, a low of $76.02 per barrel, and an average of $100.94 

per barrel. Although crude oil prices recovered in 2022, continued volatility in market conditions may further deteriorate the financial performance or 
future prospects of our operating segments from current levels, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets or inventory and negatively impact 
our financial results in the period of impairment.

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.

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.

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.

Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulations

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 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 United Kingdom (U.K.) formally left the European Union (E.U.) on January 31, 2020 (“Brexit”). Brexit could lead to increasingly divergent 

national laws and regulations as the U.K. government determines which retained E.U. laws to modify or replace. This in turn could impact compliance and 
operational costs for the Company, in particular to the extent that it is reliant upon access into or outputs from the E.U. This, or other effects of Brexit 
which we cannot anticipate, could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, the consequences of 
Brexit and ongoing negotiations could introduce significant uncertainties into global financial markets and adversely impact the regions in which we and 
our clients operate. See “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” under “Item 1A. Risk 
Factors.”

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 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.

Table of Contents

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 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. 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. 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.

29

 
Table of Contents

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.

Global climate change may in the future increase the frequency and severity of weather events and the losses resulting therefrom, which 
could have a material adverse effect on the economies in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate in the future and therefore on our 
business. 

Our business could be negatively affected by climate-change related physical changes or changes in weather patterns. Severe weather events 
affecting platforms or structures may result in a suspension of our customer’s exploration and production activities. In addition, impacts of climate change, 
such as sea level rise, coastal storm surge, inland flooding from intense rainfall and hurricane-strength winds may damage our facilities or those of our 
customers. An increase in severe weather patterns could result in damages to or loss of our equipment, impact our ability to conduct our operations and/or 
result in a disruption of our customers’ operations which could be material to our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. 

Demand for our products and services could be reduced by existing and future legislation, regulations and public sentiment related to the 

transition away from fossil fuel energy sources. 

Regulatory agencies and environmental advocacy groups in the European Union, the United States and other regions or countries have been focusing 

considerable attention on the emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases and their role in climate change. There is also increased 
focus, including by governments and our customers, investors and other stakeholders, on these and other sustainability and energy transition matters. 
Existing or future legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, as well as initiatives by governments, 
nongovernmental organizations, and companies to conserve energy or promote the use of alternative energy sources, and negative attitudes toward or 
perceptions of fossil fuel products and their relationship to the environment, may significantly curtail demand for and production of oil and gas in areas of 
the world where our customers operate, and thus reduce future demand for our products and services. This may, in turn, adversely affect our financial 
condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our business, reputation and demand for our stock could be negatively affected if we do not (or are 
perceived to not) act responsibly with respect to sustainability matters. 

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.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Technology

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.

30

 
Table of Contents

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 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 or the businesses of key customers or suppliers and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced 
effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and those of our customers or suppliers, the loss, theft, corruption or inappropriate disclosure of confidential 
information or critical data, including sensitive employee and customer data, increased overhead costs, loss of revenue, legal liabilities and regulatory 
penalties, including under data protection laws and regulations, 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.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

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.

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.

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.

Performance Graph 

We compare the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock to the cumulative total shareholder return of both a broad stock index and 

an index of oil and natural gas related companies that represents an industry composite of peers. During 2022, the Company replaced the Philadelphia Oil 
Service Sector Index (“OSX”) with the VanEck Oil Services ETF Index (“OIH”) as our reference peer group index, as we changed the peer comparison 
index for our performance stock units from the OSX to the OIH and we also plan to use the OIH index in the new pay versus performance table to be 
presented in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement (the “2023 Proxy Statement”). As this is the initial year of change in our reference peer group 
index, we are presenting two performance graphs, the first one with the preceding OSX index and the second one with the new OIH index. The first 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 OSX index. The second 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 OIH index. These graphs cover the period from December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2022 
and assume the investment of $100 on December 31, 2017 and the reinvestment of all dividends, if any. The shareholder return set forth is not necessarily 
indicative of future performance.

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.

For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, see “Item 7. 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview

The Company designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered drilling and production equipment for both offshore and onshore 
applications. The Company’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, mudline hanger systems, 
specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, liner hangers, wellhead connectors, diverters and safety valves. Dril-Quip’s 
products are used by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies and drilling contractors throughout the world. 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. While demand currently remains strong, we acknowledge there is an elevated recession risk looming in global markets. However, we believe 
the impact of a possible recession on demand in 2023 would be relatively muted due to disruptions in global oil supply, rather low spare global production 
capacity, and increased demand from the gradual reopening of China and rising global travel. We believe oil supply growth remains challenged as the 
release of U.S. strategic petroleum reserves subsides, the impact of the Russian oil products export embargo hits in the first quarter of 2023, and reduced 
investment across the Russian industry gradually impacts production.

Crude oil price recovery which began in the latter half of 2020, continued in 2022 as the oil markets remained encouraging throughout the year. 
Future declines in oil and gas prices or ongoing pricing volatility 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. Any future deterioration of commodity prices could lead to 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.”

During 2022, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $133.18 per barrel, a low of $76.02 per barrel, and an average of $100.94 
per barrel compared to an average of $70.86 per barrel in 2021. According to the January 2023 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the 
EIA, Brent crude oil prices are projected to average $83.10 per barrel in 2023 and $77.57 per barrel in 2024. The International Energy Agency projected 
the global oil demand to grow by approximately 1.9 million barrels per day to a total of 101.7 million barrels per day in 2023 based on its January 2023 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, 2022, and 2021. 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.

According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2022, there were 519 rigs contracted for the Company’s geographic regions (139 floating 

rigs and 380 jack-up rigs), which represents a 6.8% increase from the rig count of 486 rigs (137 floating rigs and 349 jack-up rigs) as of December 31, 
2021.

Business Environment 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”). The Inflation Reduction 

Act contains a number of revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% book-income corporate alternative minimum tax on any corporation that, 
along with the other members of its controlled group, if any, has average adjusted financial statement income over $1.0 billion for any 3-tax-year period 
ending with January 1, 2022 or later. The Inflation Reduction Act also imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock that is repurchased, or 
acquired through “economically similar transactions,” by publicly traded U.S. corporations or their specified affiliates. The fair market value of 
repurchased stock that is subject to the excise tax will be adjusted downward for the fair market value of any stock issued by the covered corporation during
the tax year as part of a “netting rule.” The alternative minimum tax and the excise tax are effective in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. 
Currently, we are not subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax. The Company will evaluate any impact related to the excise tax on stock 
repurchases by the Company in future periods.

During the first quarter of 2022, Dril-Quip entered into a collaboration agreement with Aker Solutions ASA (Aker Solutions) to offer subsea 
injection systems for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects. Under the agreement, Dril-Quip will provide Aker Solutions with CO2 
injection Xmas trees and wellheads that will be fully integrated into a larger subsea injection system to provide customers with market-leading technology 
purposely designed for the injection and storage of CO2. The arrangement will leverage on Aker Solution’s position as an integrated supplier of CCUS 
systems along with its control systems and electrification components. We believe this collaboration agreement focuses on the strengths of both 
organizations, will deliver an optimum solution for carbon capture and storage, and is in line with each party’s strategic goals of collaboration and 
partnerships to unlock value for customers. 

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, resulting in wide-ranging sanctions imposed on Russia by certain members of the European Union, the 

United Kingdom and the United States, among others, higher oil prices and increased uncertainty in global markets. As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 
continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether such governments or other governments will impose additional sanctions, export-controls or other 
economic or military measures against Russia. Although we have minimal operational exposure in Russia and we do not intend to commit further capital 
towards projects in Russia, the full impact of the invasion of Ukraine, including economic sanctions and export controls or additional war or military 
conflict, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and could adversely affect oil and gas companies, many of which are our 
customers, as well as the global supply chain. For more information on the risks associated with the invasion of Ukraine, see “Our business may also be 
affected by new sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” discussed under “Item 1A. Risk 
Factors” in this report. 

Crude oil prices increased in 2022, mainly driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, actions taken by OPEC+ to adjust their production levels and 

loosening of pandemic-related restrictions and the Company has seen an increase in drilling activity in the offshore market as a result of these continued 
price increases. In light of continued volatility in the crude oil market, global petroleum demand could be negatively impacted. An extended period of 
economic disruption and uncertain conditions in the oil and gas industry could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, access 
to sources of liquidity and overall financial condition.

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, government actions and measures taken to prevent its spread, and the potential to 

affect our operations, particularly in China. We are also monitoring the current global economic environment, specifically including inflationary pressures 
and the macroeconomic impact of the conflict in Ukraine, and any resulting impacts on our financial position and results of operations. Refer to “Item 1A. 
Risk Factors” for additional information.

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. 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. Any 
future deterioration of commodity prices could lead to 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.

During 2020, the Company took advantage of the Payroll Tax Deferral provided by the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act 

(“CARES Act”). The Payroll Tax Deferral allows the Company to defer the payment of the Company’s share of FICA taxes of 6.2%. As such, the 
Company was able to defer its share of FICA taxes for the period beginning March 27, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020. This resulted in 
approximately $2.9 million in FICA cash tax payments being deferred to 2021 and 2022. The Company must still deposit its share of the Medicare hospital 
insurance tax of 1.45% as well as all of the employee’s share of the payroll taxes withheld.

Revenues. Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from three sources: products, services and leasing. Product revenues are derived from the sale of 

drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance and rework and reconditioning 
services. Leasing revenues are derived from rental tools used during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products and from leasing our forging 
facility. In 2022, the Company derived 66.5% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 21.9% of its revenues from services and 11.6% from leasing 
revenues, compared to 66.1%, 23.0% and 10.9% for products, services and leasing in 2021, 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, customer stocking and destocking can affect the correlation between demand for services and product 
sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 66.2% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2022 and 63.8% in 
2021. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 33.8% of the 
Company’s total revenues in 2022 and 36.2% in 2021. 

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 

2022, there were 79 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 34.7% of the Company’s total revenues 
and 52.1% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2021, there were 54 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented 
approximately 21.7% of the Company’s total revenues and 32.7% 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 
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 and other related 
administrative functions. 

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. 

39

 
Table of Contents

Impairment. During 2020, impairment losses consist of a full impairment of our goodwill balance of $7.7 million, which occurred in connection 

with our preparation and review of financial statements during the first quarter of 2020. 

Restructuring and Other Charges.  Restructuring and other charges consist of costs associated with our 2021 global strategic plan initiated in the 

fourth quarter of 2021, in an effort to realign our subsea product business with the market conditions. Prior to the 2021 global strategic plan, restructuring 
and other charges were incurred as part of the 2018 global strategic plan, initiated to realign our manufacturing facilities globally and which concluded as 
of the third quarter of 2021. These charges are reflected as “Restructuring and other charges” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment. Gain or loss on sale of property, plant and equipment consists of sales of assets within this category 

of fixed assets.

Foreign Currency Transaction (Gain) Loss.  Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss result from a change in exchange rates between the functional 

currency and the currency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the 
local currency, conduct a portion of their operations in U.S. dollars. As a result, these subsidiaries hold 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 local currency. 

Income Tax Provision.  The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes 

in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, impact of valuation allowances, changes in tax legislation, and other permanent 
differences related to the recognition of income and expense between U.S. GAAP and applicable tax rules.

Reclassifications.  We reclassified approximately $9.6 million of prepaid expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 'Prepaids and other 

current assets' to 'Prepaid expenses'. This reclassification to the prior period was made to conform to the current period presentation and did not have an 
impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), 
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021

Revenues.  Revenues increased by $39.2 million, or approximately 12.1%, to $362.1 million in 2022 from $322.9 million in 2021. The overall 

increase in revenue was driven by increased product, leasing and service revenues of $27.1 million, $7.0 million, and $5.1 million, respectively. Product 
revenues increased by approximately $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of increased 
revenues of $25.9 million in subsea equipment and $1.2 million in downhole tools. Total revenues increased in the Eastern Hemisphere by $22.1 million 
and in the Western Hemisphere by $21.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in the Asia-Pacific region by $4.4 million. Product revenues increased in the 
Eastern Hemisphere by $14.7 million, in the Western Hemisphere by $6.4 million, and in the Asia-Pacific region by $6.0 million. The increase in product 
revenues across the geographic segments was primarily due to an improved crude oil market driving organic business growth coupled with a favorable 
product mix. 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 increased by approximately $5.1 million resulting mainly from increased service revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $9.5 
million and in the Eastern Hemisphere of $3.2 million, partially offset by decreased service revenues of $7.6 million in the Asia-Pacific region. Higher 
service revenues in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres were mainly due to customer specific increases in technical advisory services and maintenance 
requests following an increase in product revenues. Lower service revenues in the Asia-Pacific region resulted primarily due to standby rates that the 
customers paid as a result of travel restrictions and increase in rig mobilization activities in 2021 as companies resumed their well completion activities.

Leasing revenues increased by approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 mainly from 

increased leasing revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $5.7 million and in the Eastern Hemisphere of $4.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in the 
Asia-Pacific region of $2.9 million. Increase in leasing revenues in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres were due to customer specific increases in rental 
tool utilization. The majority of the decrease in the Asia-Pacific region is related to decreased subsea rental tool utilization due to timing of customer 
drilling activity.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales increased by $23.5 million, or 9.7%, to $265.9 million in 2022 from $242.4 million in 2021. The increase in cost of 

sales were mainly in line with the increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 73.5% 
as compared to 75.1%. We were able to achieve these margins despite inflationary pressures for materials largely due to a favorable product mix and 
productivity initiatives for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  For 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $20.8 million, or 

18.1%, to $94.2 million from $115.0 million in 2021. This decrease was attributable mainly to lower legal expenses in 2022 related to costs incurred in 
connection with the FMC Technologies, Inc. lawsuit in 2021, an importation tax settlement under a Brazilian tax amnesty program introduced in the first 
quarter of 2021, severance payout to our former Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the fourth quarter 
of 2021 and lower consulting fees incurred during the current year.

Engineering and Product Development Expenses.  For 2022, engineering and product development expenses decreased by approximately $3.4 

million, or 22.3%, to $11.7 million from $15.1 million in 2021. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 
3.2% in 2022 from 4.7% in 2021. This decrease was attributable mainly to lower spend on research and development activities as we completed certain 
strategic projects.   

Restructuring and Other Charges.  Restructuring and other charges consist of costs associated with our 2021 global strategic plan initiated in the 

fourth quarter of 2021, in an effort to realign our subsea product business with the market conditions. Prior to the 2021 global strategic plan, restructuring 
and other charges were incurred as part of the 2018 global strategic plan, initiated to realign our manufacturing facilities globally and which concluded as 
of the third quarter of 2021. During 2022, the Company incurred $11.4 million of additional costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. These charges were 
primarily related to write-downs of long-lived assets, severance and other charges. Long-lived asset write-downs consisted of $3.2 million for the Houston 
corporate administrative building and $2.5 million for obsolete machinery and equipment. Other charges totaled $4.8 million and consisted of consulting 
and legal fees, office moves, site cleanup and preparation costs. Severance charges totaled approximately $0.9 million for the year. During 2021, we 
incurred restructuring charges under the 2018 global strategic plan as we exited from certain underperforming countries and markets and shifted from 
manufacturing in-house to a vendor outsourcing model which resulted in inventory write-downs of approximately $19.3 million, severance charges of $2.7 
million and other charges of $4.0 million, consisting of facilities-related market exit costs and consulting fees. Additionally, as part of the 2021 global 
strategic plan we discontinued certain product categories which resulted in inventory write-downs, long-lived asset write-downs and severance charges of 
approximately $47.7 million, $4.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment.  During 2022, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment was approximately $20.0 million, 
primarily related to the sale of our Houston forge facility building and obsolete machinery and equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2021, gain on 
sale of property, plant and equipment was approximately $4.5 million, primarily related to the sale of two of our buildings in Singapore. 

Foreign Currency Transaction (Gain) Loss.  Foreign exchange gain for 2022 was $3.8 million as compared to a loss of $0.8 million for the same 

period in 2021.

Income Tax Provision.  Income tax expense for 2022 was $6.3 million on an income before taxes of $6.8 million, resulting in an effective income tax 

rate of 93.5%. Income tax expense was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to changes in valuation allowances, 
nondeductible expenses, foreign income inclusions, foreign tax withholdings and credits, and other general business credits and incentives. Income tax 
expense in 2021 was $2.9 million on a loss before taxes of $125.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately (2.4%). The change in the 
effective income tax rate from 2021 to 2022 was primarily driven by the favorable outcomes of previously unrecognized tax benefit, change in valuation 
allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various foreign countries, the mix of foreign income taxed at different statutory rates, 
an increase in non-taxable income, nondeductible expenses, foreign income inclusions and foreign tax credits.

Net Income (Loss).  Net income was approximately $0.4 million in 2022, compared to a net loss of $128.0 million in 2021, for the reasons set forth 

above.

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.

42

 
Table of Contents

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 operating 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 (Loss) 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:

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 line items on the 
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding line items 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. 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 2022 decreased by approximately $75.2 million compared to 2021, primarily due to decreases resulting 

from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $130.3 million and a net decrease of $73.3 million in non-cash movements. This was partially offset 
by a decrease in net loss of $128.4 million.

The change in operating assets and liabilities during 2022 resulted in a $130.3 million decrease in cash as compared to the change in operating assets 
and liabilities during 2021. The increase in unbilled receivables by $80.8 million was mainly due to a significant increase in projects that are accounted for 
on an over time basis and the completion timelines of some of our major projects. The $25.1 million decrease in cash due to changes in prepaids and other 
assets was primarily due an increase in advances to vendors related to projects accounted for on an over time basis in 2022, increases in tax receivables in 
some foreign jurisdictions in 2022 as compared to the receipt of certain tax receivables and reimbursement of the security amounts deposited with the 
Brazilian courts related to the tax amnesty program in 2021. The decrease due to changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $23.8 million was 
mainly related to the payment of our agent fees in the Middle East and the payment of certain property taxes. The increase in trade receivables by $5.0 
million was primarily due to a decrease in billing activity related to our ongoing projects. These decreases to cash balances were partially offset by a 
decrease in inventory of $4.4 million mainly related to our continued focus on inventory management and consumption during the year. 

Net loss decreased by $128.4 million to a net income of $0.4 million in 2022 from a net loss of $128.0 million in 2021. The reasons for the decrease 

in net income or losses are set forth in the “Results of Operations” section above.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $26.9 million in 2022 as compared to 2021. This increase is primarily due to 
purchase of short-term investments of $32.2 million and higher capital expenditure spend of $8.9 million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds related 
to sales of property, plant and equipment by $14.2 million. Capital expenditures by the Company were $18.9 million and $10.0 million in 2022 and 2021, 
respectively. Capital expenditures in 2022 were incurred primarily to support our current and recently developed products and to support the strategic shift 
in our business model. Capital expenditures in 2022 included $10.2 million for rental tools, $6.3 million for machinery and equipment and other 
expenditures of $2.4 million. Capital expenditures in 2021 were primarily to support our current and recently developed products and to support the 
restructuring of our downhole tools business where we exited certain underperforming markets. Capital expenditures in 2021 included $4.6 million for 
machinery and equipment, $3.7 million for rental tools and other expenditures of $1.7 million.

Repurchase of Equity Securities

On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its 
common stock. On February 22, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental $100 million share repurchase plan. The repurchase plans have no 
set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased 888,197 shares at an average price of $23.41 under the share repurchase plan for 
approximately $20.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased 1,109,187 shares at an average price of $21.79 under the 
share repurchase plan for approximately $24.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company purchased 808,389 shares at an average 
price of $30.91 under the share repurchase plan for approximately $25.0 million. All repurchased shares were subsequently cancelled. Refer to Item 5. 
Market for Registrant’s Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion.

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, we expect further 
working capital investment will be required. 

Credit Facility

The Company’s ABL Credit Facility, dated February 23, 2018, as amended, was terminated effective February 22, 2022. In addition, we opened a 

new cash collateral account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in which cash was transferred to facilitate our existing letters of credit. As of December 31, 
2022, the cash balance in that account was approximately $5.4 million. The Company is required to maintain a balance equal to the outstanding letters of 
credit plus 5% at all times, which is considered as restricted cash and is included in “Cash and cash equivalents” in our consolidated balance sheets as at 
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account are only allowed at such point that a given letter of credit has 
expired or has been cancelled.

Contractual Obligations

For information with respect to this item, see “Leases and Lease Commitments,” Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 

of Part II, which is incorporated herein by reference.

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. The Company's backlog primarily consists of our Subsea products. 
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, volatility 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 backlog was approximately $240.9 million at December 31, 2022 and $210.1 million at 
December 31, 2021. The backlog at the end of 2022 represents an increase of approximately $30.8 million, or 14.6%, from the end of 2021. We 
experienced an increase in product bookings during 2022 as the global crude oil market improved despite a negative impact of approximately $27.4 million 
in cancellations. During 2021, the Company’s backlog balance was initially negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a depressed 
global economic environment that led to weakness in oil prices. In the latter half of 2021 as we saw improvements in the global markets and recovery of 
crude oil prices with vaccinations being deployed resulting in positive market trends, our product bookings increased in the fourth quarter of 2021.

(1)  The backlog data shown above includes all bookings as of December 31, 2022, 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 a result, this table will not agree to the disclosed performance obligations of $75.1 million as of December 31, 2022, within 
“Revenue Recognition,” Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2022 product backlog by December 31, 2023. The remaining backlog 
at December 31, 2022 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. 

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 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 15 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, Mexican peso 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 $3.0 million in 2022 and a transaction loss of $0.7 million in 2021. 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 and Estimates

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 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 six months 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

46

 
Table of Contents

•

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 unbilled receivables. Unbilled revenues are 
expected to be billed and collected within one year.

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 when the 
product is available to the customer, 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).

Leasing revenues

The Company earns leasing revenues from the rental of running tools. Revenues from rental of running tools are recognized within leasing revenues 

on a day rate basis over the lease term, which is generally between one to three months.  

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.

Inventory Reserves 

Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow moving and excess 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. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by 
management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

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, 2021. 

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 $14.1 million and an increase in net loss of approximately $3.0 million for 2022. 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, 2022.

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, 2022 and 2021, 
and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in 
the period ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022, 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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was 
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated 
financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not 
alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, 
providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for Slow Moving and Excess Inventory

As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, management periodically performs obsolescence reviews on slow-moving and 
excess inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. Management 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 Company’s consolidated inventories, net balance was $146.0 million as of December 31, 2022, which was net of an allowance for slow moving and 
excess inventory of $75.9 million.  

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for slow moving and excess inventory is a critical 
audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the reserve percentages, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, 
subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s significant assumption that the historical inventory movements are indicative of 
future sales.    

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s inventory reserve assessment. These 
procedures also included, among others, evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management in developing the reserve 
percentages by product type. Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumption that the historical inventory movements are indicative of future sales 
involved considering the consumption and use of inventory in previous periods, changes in market conditions, and current backlog levels and whether these 
were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), 

Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Reclassifications.  We reclassified approximately $9.6 million of prepaid expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 'Prepaids and other 

current assets' to 'Prepaid expenses'. This reclassification to the prior period was made to conform to the current period presentation and did not have an 
impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), 
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

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 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 and slow moving and excess 
inventories.

58

 
Table of Contents

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.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments that have a maturity greater than three months and less than a year from the date of purchase are comprised primarily of time 

deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bonds and notes, substantially all of which are denominated in U.S. dollars and are stated at cost plus 
accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Company expects to hold all of its Short-term investments to maturity.

For purposes of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company does not consider Short-term investments to be cash equivalents.

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. The allowance 
estimate includes expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off in the valuation account. Management believes that 
the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance. 

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. Inventory purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Company manufactured inventory is 
valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations to approximate actual costs.

Inventory Reserves 

Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow moving and excess 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 slow moving, 
excess and obsolete inventories of $75.9 million and $129.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 intangible assets

For goodwill and intangible assets, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have 
occurred. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment annually on October 1 or when events occur or circumstances change that would 
trigger such a review. The impairment test entails an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment 
exists. If it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. Impairment exists when the carrying amount 
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. 

In March 2020, the overall offshore market conditions declined primarily due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the developments in 
the global oil markets. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital 
budgets and potential contract delays. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in connection with the preparation and review of 
financial statements during the first quarter of 2020. Based on this analysis, we fully impaired our goodwill balance of $7.7 million, all of which was in the 
Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. These charges are reflected as “Impairments” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).  

59

 
Table of Contents

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. 

Restructuring and other charges

Restructuring and other charges consist of costs associated with our 2021 global strategic plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021, in an effort to 

realign our subsea product business with the market conditions. Prior to the 2021 global strategic plan, restructuring and other charges were incurred as part 
of the 2018 global strategic plan, initiated to realign our manufacturing facilities globally and which concluded as of the third quarter of 2021. These 
charges are reflected as “Restructuring and other charges” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Income Taxes

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.

60

 
Table of Contents

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 unbilled receivables. Unbilled revenues are 
expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, unbilled receivables included $92.6 million and $58.7 million of 
unbilled receivables related to products accounted for using the over time method of accounting, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there 
were 79 projects representing approximately 34.7% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 52.1% of its product revenues, and 54 projects 
during 2021 representing approximately 21.7% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 32.7% 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 when the 
product is available to the customer, 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).

Leasing revenues

The Company earns leasing revenues from the rental of running tools. Revenues from rental of running tools are recognized within leasing revenues 

on a day rate basis over the lease term, which is generally between one to three months.  

Practical Expedients

As permitted under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” we elected the package of practical expedients permitted 

under the transition guidance which, among other things, allows companies to carry forward their historical lease classification.  

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 had, net of income taxes, a 

transaction gain of $3.0 million in 2022, a transaction loss of $0.7 million in 2021 and a transaction loss of $1.9 million in 2020. 

61

 
Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, 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.

Contract asset receivables were $138.6 million and $97.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Contract assets 

include unbilled accounts receivable associated with contracts accounted for under the over time accounting method which were approximately $92.6 
million and $58.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unbilled contract assets are transferred to the trade receivables, net, when the 
rights become unconditional. The contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments from customers.

Obligations for returns and refunds were considered immaterial as of December 31, 2022. 

Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations from our over time product lines was $75.1 million as 

of December 31, 2022. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 79.7% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 
months and the remaining 20.3% thereafter.

7. Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges consist of costs associated with our 2021 global strategic plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021, in an effort to 

realign our subsea product business with the market conditions. Prior to the 2021 global strategic plan, restructuring and other charges were incurred as part 
of the 2018 global strategic plan, initiated to realign our manufacturing facilities globally and which concluded as of the third quarter of 2021. During 2022, 
the Company incurred $11.4 million of additional costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. These charges were primarily related to write-downs of long-
lived assets, severance and other charges. Long-lived asset write-downs consisted of $3.2 million for the Houston corporate administrative building and 
$2.5 million for obsolete machinery and equipment. Other charges totaled $4.8 million and consisted of consulting and legal fees, office moves, site 
cleanup and preparation costs. Severance charges totaled approximately $0.9 million for the year.

During 2021, the Company incurred restructuring charges under the 2018 global strategic plan as we exited from certain underperforming countries 

and markets and shifted from manufacturing in-house to a vendor outsourcing model which resulted in inventory write-downs of approximately $19.3 
million, severance charges of $2.7 million and other charges of $4.0 million, consisting of facilities-related market exit costs and consulting fees. 
Additionally, as part of the 2021 global strategic plan we discontinued certain product categories which resulted in inventory write-downs, long-lived asset 
write-downs and severance charges of approximately $47.7 million, $4.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2021.

During 2020, the overall offshore market conditions declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and developments in global oil markets and 

decreases in our customers’ capital budgets. As such, we incurred additional costs under our existing 2018 global strategic plan to realign our 
manufacturing facilities globally. We incurred restructuring and other charges of $35.4 million related to non-cash inventory write-downs, severance, long-
lived asset write-downs and other charges of approximately $17.3 million, $8.4 million, $8.3 million, and $1.4 million, respectively, for the year ended 
December 31, 2020. Other charges consisted primarily of professional fees related to the global strategic plan.

Amortization expense was $2.8 million, $3.0 million, $3.0 million, respectively for each of the years 2022, 2021 and 2020. Based on the carrying 
value of intangible assets at December 31, 2022, amortization expense for the subsequent five years is estimated to be as follows: 2023 — $2.8 million; 
2024 — $2.7 million; 2025 — $2.7 million; 2026 — $2.7 million; and 2027 — $2.5 million.

9. Leases and Lease Commitments

We lease facilities related to sales and service, manufacturing, reconditioning, certain office spaces, apartments and warehouse, all of which we 

classify as operating leases. In addition, we also lease certain office equipment and vehicles, which we classify as financing leases. Leases with an initial 
term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets; short-term lease expense for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2022 was approximately $0.6 million.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term on a monthly, annual or longer basis. The 

exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable 
life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain 
of being exercised.

Certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value 

guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The United States gross loss carryforwards of approximately $138.8 million, includes $137.7 million of losses which are indefinite.

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, 2022 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and has recorded a valuation allowance at December 
31, 2022 of $60.0 million against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 and includes tax relief provisions and 

incentives for businesses impacted by COVID-19. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback (“NOLs”) periods. The 
Company has $15.8 million in outstanding NOL carryback claims as of December 31, 2022 including the estimated carryback claim relating to the 2020 
tax year, which is reflected in “Other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to receive carryback claims by the end of 
2023.

As the Company no longer asserts the indefinite reinvestment assertion, we maintain a deferred foreign tax liability, which had a balance of $2.2 

million as of December 31, 2022. It is primarily related to estimated foreign withholding tax associated with repatriating all non-U.S. earnings back to the 
United States. 

U.S. Tax Reform subjects a U.S. 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.

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax and regulatory environments and our tax returns are periodically audited or 

subjected to review by tax authorities. We monitor tax law changes and the potential impact to our results of operations.

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 accrual 
for uncertain tax position of $0.6 million at December 31, 2022 due to uncertainty in tax positions taken in the U.S. and certain foreign tax jurisdictions. 
The tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are the years ended March 31, 2016 through December 31, 2022.

The amounts above exclude accrued interest and penalties of $0.2 million, $2.4 million and $2.1 million at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 

respectively. The Company classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions within “Income tax provision (benefit)” in the Consolidated 
Statements 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, 2022, 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, 2022, if recognized, $0.6 million of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate.

The Company paid net income taxes of $1.3 million in 2022, paid net income taxes of $2.0 million and received net income tax refund of $18.2 

million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors a defined-contribution (cash balance) 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 under these plans was $2.8 million, $1.0 
million and $2.5 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

13. Credit Facility

The Company’s ABL Credit Facility, dated February 23, 2018, as amended, was terminated effective February 22, 2022. In addition, we opened a 

new cash collateral account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in which cash was transferred to facilitate our existing letters of credit. As of December 31, 
2022, the cash balance in that account was approximately $5.4 million. The Company is required to maintain a balance equal to the outstanding letters of 
credit plus 5% at all times, which is considered as restricted cash and is included in “Cash and cash equivalents” in our consolidated balance sheets as at 
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account are only allowed at such point that a given letter of credit has 
expired or has been cancelled.

14. Contingencies 

Brazilian Tax Issue

From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through, and paid taxes on such imports to, the State of Espirito Santo in 

Brazil. 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 on the importation of goods from July 
2005 to October 2007. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary objected to these assessments and filed appeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to 
annul both of these tax assessments.

In the first quarter of 2021, the relevant governmental agencies of the State of Rio de Janeiro authorized an amnesty program with interest discounts 
and reduced fines. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary elected to participate in this amnesty program and recorded the settlement amount of approximately 
$2.1 million as of March 31, 2021. As a result of settling these tax assessments with the relevant governmental agencies pursuant to the amnesty program, 
the security amounts previously deposited with the court totaling approximately $6 million at current exchange rates were returned to our Brazilian 
subsidiary during the second and third quarter of 2021.

FMC Technologies Lawsuit 

On October 5, 2020, FMC Technologies, Inc. (“FMC”) sued the Company alleging misappropriation of trade secrets and sought money damages and 
injunctive relief in the 127th District Court of Harris County in an action styled FMC Technologies, Inc. v. Richard Murphy and Dril-Quip, Inc., Cause No. 
2020-63081. FMC alleged that its former employee communicated FMC trade secrets to the Company and the Company used those trade secrets in its 
VXTe subsea tree systems. On April 29, 2021, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company. FMC filed a notice of appeal on August 20, 2021. The 
Company intends to continue its vigorous defense of this matter on appeal. 

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 is dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, 
certain of the Company’s products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, 
property damage and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risks have not resulted in any significant problems for the Company in the past, 
ongoing exposure to these risks and future developments could adversely impact the Company in the future.

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.

During 2022, we recorded long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $5.7 million. Out of these, $3.2 million was recorded in DQ Corporate for 
the Houston corporate administrative building and $2.5 million in the Western Hemisphere related to obsolete machinery and equipment. During 2021, we 
recorded inventory write-downs of approximately $66.9 million. Out of these, $44.2 million was recorded in the Western Hemisphere, $13.0 million in the 
Asia-Pacific region and $9.7 million in the Eastern Hemisphere. Additionally, we wrote-down approximately $4.2 million of our long-lived assets in the 
Asia-Pacific region.

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 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.

Restricted Stock Awards   

On October 28, 2022 and 2021 and 2020, pursuant to the 2017 Plan, the Company awarded officers, directors and key employees restricted stock 
awards (RSAs), which is an award of common stock subject to time vesting. These RSA are restricted as to transference, sale and other disposition, and 
vest ratably over a three-year period. The RSAs may also vest in the event 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.

RSA compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 totaled $6.1 million, $8.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively. 

For 2022, 2021 and 2020, the income tax benefit recognized in net income for RSAs was $1.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of 
December 31, 2022, there was $13.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSAs, which is expected to be recognized over a 
weighted average period of 2.2 years. There were no anti-dilutive restricted shares on December 31, 2022.

Performance Unit Awards 

On October 28, 2022, 2021 and 2020, pursuant to the 2017 Plan, the Company awarded performance unit awards (Performance Units) to officers 

and key employees. The Performance Units were valued on a per unit basis based on a Monte Carlo simulation at $29.38 for the 2022 grants, $29.88 for the 
2021 grants, and $32.05 for the 2020 grants, approximately 126.2%, 126.9% and 134.3%, respectively, of the grant date share price. Under the terms of the 
Performance Units, 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 and, starting with the 2020 grants, the S&P 500 Index. Starting with the 2022 grants, 
the Philadelphia Oil Service Index is being replaced by the VanEck Oil Services ETF Index.

The TSR is calculated over a three -year period from October 1, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 to September 30, 2025 and 2024, and 2023, respectively, 

and assumes reinvestment of dividends for companies within the index that pay dividends, which Dril-Quip does not.

Director Stock Compensation Awards

In June 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a stock compensation program for the directors pursuant to the 2004 Plan. This program continues 

under the 2017 Plan. Under this program, the Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their fees in the form of restricted stock awards (DSAs) in an 
amount equal to 125% of the fees in lieu of cash. The awards are made quarterly on the first business day after the end of each calendar quarter and vest on

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.8

This  EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  (this  “Agreement”),  dated  effective  as  of  October  25,  2022  (the  “Effective 
Date”)  by  and  between  DRIL-QUIP,  INC.  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  “Company”),  and  Donald  M.  Underwood  (the 
“Executive”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as the Company’s Vice President – Subsea Products; and

WHEREAS, in entering into this Agreement, the Company desires to provide the Executive with substantial incentives
to continue to serve the Company on and following the Effective Date as one of its senior executives performing at the highest 
level of leadership and stewardship, without distraction or concern over minimum compensation, benefits or tenure, manage the 
Company’s future growth and development, and maximize the returns to the Company’s stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Executive shares these objectives and desires to continue to serve as the Company’s Vice President – 

Subsea Products on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and 
intending to be legally bound hereby, effective as of the Effective Date, the Company and the Executive hereby enter into this 
Agreement:

1.

Employment.    The  Company  agrees  that  the  Company  or  an  Affiliate  will  employ  the  Executive,  and  the 
Executive agrees to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate, for the period set forth in Section  2, in the position and with the 
duties  and  responsibilities  set  forth  in  Section   3,  and  upon  the  other  terms  and  conditions  herein  provided.    Unless  otherwise 
defined in another section of this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section  12.    

2.

Employment Term.  The employment of the Executive by the Company under this Agreement shall commence 
as of the Effective Date and shall terminate on December 31, 2024 (the “Initial Expiration Date”).  Such employment under this 
Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional one-year periods unless either the Company or the Executive notifies 
the other party at least 90 days in advance of the Initial Expiration Date that it will not be so extended and, thereafter, will be 
further  extended  automatically  on  each  subsequent  anniversary  of  the  Initial  Expiration  Date  for  additional  one-year  periods 
unless  either  the  Company  or  the  Executive  notifies  the  other  party  at  least  90  days  in  advance  of  the  next  anniversary  of  the 
Initial Expiration Date that it will not be so extended.  The period of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be 
referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”  In the event that one party notifies the other in accordance with this Section  2 that 
it  does  not  wish  the  Employment  Term  to  be  extended,  no  further  extensions  of  the  Employment  Term  shall  occur  and  this 
Agreement shall terminate at the end of the then current Employment Term.  The foregoing notwithstanding, if a 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Change of Control occurs during the Employment Term, the Company shall not cause the Employment Term to end pursuant to 
this Section  2 until after the Change of Control Period ends.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be an “at will” 
employee of the Company, and the Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time in accordance with Section  5.

3.

Positions and Duties.

During  the  Employment  Term,  the  Executive  shall  serve  in  the  position  of  Vice  President  – 
Subsea Products of the Company and shall have such duties, functions, responsibilities and authority commensurate with such 
position. The Executive shall report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(a)

(b)

During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote the Executive’s full time, skill and 
attention,  and  the  Executive’s  reasonable  best  efforts  to  the  business  and  affairs  of  the  Company,  and  in  furtherance  of  the 
business and affairs of its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to discharge faithfully and efficiently the duties and responsibilities 
delegated and assigned to the Executive herein or pursuant hereto, except for usual, ordinary and customary periods of vacation 
and absence due to illness or other disability; provided, however, that the Executive may (i) serve on industry-related, civic or 
charitable boards or committees, (ii) with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), serve on corporate 
boards or committees, (iii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, and (iv) manage the 
Executive’s personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance and fulfillment of 
the Executive’s duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement and, 
in the case of the activities described in clause (ii) of this proviso, will not, in the good faith judgment of the Board, constitute an 
actual or potential conflict of interest with the business of the Company or an Affiliate. 

In connection with the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall be based at the 
headquarters  of  the  Company  in  Houston,  Texas,  subject,  however,  to  required  travel  for  the  business  of  the  Company  and  its 
Affiliates.

(c)

All  services  that  the  Executive  may  render  to  the  Company  or  any  of  its  Affiliates  in  any 
capacity  during  the  Employment  Term  shall  be  deemed  to  be  services  required  by  this  Agreement  and  consideration  for  the 
compensation provided for herein.

(d)

4.

Compensation and Related Matters.

(a)

Base Salary.  During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual 
base salary of $315,000 (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices as in effect from 
time  to  time,  less  withholding  for  taxes  and  deductions  for  other  appropriate  items.    During  the  Employment  Term,  the 
Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to such increases (but not decreases), if any, as may be determined from time to time by 
the  Board  in  its  sole  discretion;  provided,  however,  that  the  Executive’s  Base  Salary  shall  be  reviewed  by  the  Board  at  least 
annually, with a view to making such upward adjustment, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.  The term “Base Salary” as 
used  in  this  Agreement  shall  refer  to  the  Base  Salary  as  so  increased.    Payments  of  Base  Salary  to  the  Executive  shall  not  be 
deemed exclusive and shall not prevent the Executive from participating in any employee benefit 

-2-

 
 
plans, programs or arrangements of the Company and its Affiliates in which the Executive is entitled to participate. Payments of 
Base Salary to the Executive shall not in any way limit or reduce any other obligation of the Company hereunder, and no other 
compensation,  benefit  or  payment  to  the  Executive  hereunder  shall  in  any  way  limit  or  reduce  the  obligation  of  the  Company 
regarding the Executive’s Base Salary hereunder.

(b)

prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans, programs 
and arrangements), as amended from time to time, on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to 
other senior executives of the Company.

(iii)

Right  to  Amend  and  Terminate.  The  Executive’s  right  to  participate  in  the  plans,

the  Executive  has  occurred  during  the  Employment  Term,  the  Company  may  give  the  Executive  notice  of  its  intention  to 
terminate  the  Executive’s  employment.    In  such  event,  the  Executive’s  employment  hereunder  shall  terminate  effective  on  the 
30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”); provided, however, that within the 30-day

of  this  Agreement,  “Disability”  shall  mean  the  absence  of  the  Executive  from  the  Executive’s  duties  with  the  Company  or  an

permanent  by  a  physician  selected  by  the  Company  or  its  insurers  and  acceptable  to  the  Executive  or  the  Executive’s  legal 
representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably).

Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of:

(c)

and actual fraud, dishonesty or breach of trust; 

(i)

the commission of a felony or any other crime by the Executive involving intentional 

willful misconduct or gross negligence with respect to the Executive’s performance of 
his  employment  duties  for  the  Company,  including  the  duties  as  contemplated  by  Section   3  above  (other  than  such 
failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury);

(ii)

disgrace; or

(iii)

conduct by the Executive bringing the Company or its Affiliates into material public 

material  failure  to  perform  duties  of  the  office  held  by  the  Executive  as  reasonably 
directed in writing by the Board (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or 
injury); 

(iv)

provided, however, that Cause shall not exist in the case of clause (iv) unless and until the Board has given written notice 
to the Executive detailing the alleged grounds for Cause and such grounds remain uncured for 30 days thereafter.

Termination  by  Executive.    The  Executive  may  terminate  the  Executive’s  employment

(iii)

any  material  failure  by  the  Company  to  comply  with  any  of  the  provisions  of  this 

the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office located more than 50 

miles from 6401 N. Eldridge Parkway, Houston, Texas 77041; or

 20(c).

(iv)

any  failure  by  the  Company  to  comply  with  and  satisfy  the  requirements  of  Section 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall cease to exist under this Agreement unless (i) within 60 days of Executive’s 
knowledge of the initial existence of the condition or conditions giving rise to Good Reason the Executive provides written notice 
to the Company of the existence of such condition or conditions, (ii) the Company fails to remedy such condition or conditions 
within 30 days following the receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”); (iii) if any such condition is not remedied within 
such Cure Period, the Executive provides a Notice of Termination (as defined below) for Good Reason in accordance with the 
provisions of Section  5(e) and (iv) the Executive’s employment terminates on the Termination Date set forth in such Notice of 
Termination.

(e)

Notice  of  Termination.    Any  termination  of  the  Executive’s  employment  hereunder  by  the 
Company  or  by  the  Executive,  other  than  a  termination  pursuant  to  Section   5(a),  shall  be  communicated  by  a  Notice  of 
Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which (i) 
indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) in the case of a termination for Disability, Cause or 
Good  Reason,  sets  forth  in  reasonable  detail  the  facts  and  circumstances  claimed  to  provide  a  basis  for  termination  of  the 
Executive’s  employment  under  the  provision  so  indicated,  and  (iii)  specifies  the  Termination  Date;  provided,  however,  that 
notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Notice of Termination given in connection with a termination 
for  Good  Reason  shall  be  given  by  the  Executive  within  a  reasonable  period  of  time,  not  to  exceed  ten  (10)  Business  Days 
following the end of the Cure Period. The failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any 
fact  or  circumstance  which  contributes  to  a  showing  of  Disability,  Cause  or  Good  Reason  shall  not  waive  any  right  of  the 
Company  or  the  Executive  hereunder  or  preclude  the  Company  or  the  Executive  from  asserting  such  fact  or  circumstance  in 
enforcing the Company’s or the Executive’s rights hereunder.

(f)

Termination  Date.    For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  Termination  Date  will  be  (i)  if  the 
Executive’s  employment  is  terminated  by  the  Executive’s  death,  the  date  of  the  Executive’s  death,  (ii)  if  the  Executive’s 
employment is terminated because of the Executive’s Disability, the Disability Effective Date, (iii) if the Executive’s employment 
is terminated by the Company (or applicable Affiliate) for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date on which the 
Notice of Termination is given, and (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in 
the Notice of Termination, which date shall in no event be earlier than the date such notice is given.

6.

Obligations of the Company upon Termination of the Executive.

(a)

Accrued Obligations.  If the Executive’s employment terminates hereunder for any reason, the 
Company  shall  pay  or  provide  to  or  in  respect  of  the  Executive,  on  the  tenth  Business  Day  next  following  the  Executive’s 
Termination Date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law), a lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to 
the sum of (i) the Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date and (ii) compensation for all of the 
Executive’s accrued but unpaid vacation time based upon the Executive’s current Base Salary (notwithstanding any limitation on 
payment for accrued vacation then set forth in the Company’s policies or practices) (the sum of the amounts described in clauses 
(i) and (ii),  the “Accrued Obligation”).

(b)

By the Company Without Cause or By the Executive for Good Reason and Prior to Change of 
Control  Period.    Subject  to  the  release  requirements  set  forth  in  Section   6(e)  of  this  Agreement,  if  prior  to  the  end  of  the
Employment  Term  and  not  during  a  Change  of  Control  Period  the  Executive’s  employment  is  terminated  by  the  Company 
without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay or provide to or in respect of the Executive the 
following amounts and benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

times his Base Salary on the 60th day following the Termination Date.

(i)

The  Executive  shall  receive  a  lump-sum  cash  payment  in  an  amount  equal  to  one 

(ii)

Following  the  Termination  Date,  the  Executive  and  his  eligible  dependents  shall 
continue to receive medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage at the same active employee premium cost as a 
similarly situated active employee until the earlier of (A) his receipt of equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans 
and  programs  of  a  subsequent  employer  (such  coverage  and  benefits  to  be  determined  on  a  coverage-by-coverage  or 
benefit-by-benefit basis) or (B) one year after the Termination Date; provided, however, that to the extent the coverage 
described above cannot be provided under the Company’s benefit plans, or if the Company’s obligations contemplated 
by  this  Section   6(b)(ii)  would  result  in  the  imposition  of  excise  taxes  on  the  Company  for  failure  to  comply  with  the 
nondiscrimination  requirements  of  the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act  of  2010,  as  amended  (to  the  extent 
applicable), the Company shall discontinue such coverage, and, in either situation, during the period described above in 
this Section  6(b)(ii), the Executive shall be entitled to a monthly cash payment equal to the Company’s monthly portion 
of the premiums under such plans, determined as of the Termination Date.  This provision of continued participation in 
the Company’s medical, dental and vision plans is intended to satisfy the Company’s COBRA obligation, if any.

For the avoidance of doubt, the non-renewal of the Employment Term by the Company shall not constitute a termination without 
Cause that entitles the Executive to receive the Severance Benefits.

(c)

By the Company Without Cause or By the Executive for Good Reason and During the Change 
of  Control  Period.    Subject  to  the  release  requirements  set  forth  in  Section   6(e)  of  this  Agreement,  if  prior  to  the  end  of  the 
Employment Term and during a Change of Control Period the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without 
Cause or by the 

-6-

 
 
Executive for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay or provide to or in respect of the Executive the following amounts and 
benefits (the “COC Severance Benefits”): 

times his Base Salary on the 60th day following the Termination Date.

(i)

The  Executive  shall  receive  a  lump-sum  cash  payment  in  an  amount  equal  to  two 

(ii)

The  Executive  shall  receive  a  lump-sum  cash  payment  in  an  amount  equal  to  the 
product of (a) the greater of (x) the target amount for the Annual Bonus for the Performance Period during which the 
Termination  Date  occurs,  if  any,  or  (y)  the  average  amount  paid  pursuant  to  Section   4(b)  in  respect  of  the  three  most 
recent  applicable  Performance  Periods  prior  to  the  Termination  Date  (including,  for  the  avoidance  of  doubt,  any  such 
Performance Periods that precede the Effective Date) and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of 
Business Days from the beginning of such Performance Period to the Termination Date, inclusive, and the denominator 
of which shall be 260, provided, however, that any amounts to be paid pursuant to this Section  6(c)(ii) shall be paid in 
accordance with Section  4(b).

(iii)

On the 60th day following the Termination Date, the Executive shall receive a lump-
sum cash payment in an amount equal to two times the greater of (a) the target amount for the Annual Bonus for the 
Performance  Period  during  which  the  Termination  Date  occurs,  if  any,  or  (b)  the  average  amount  paid  pursuant  to 
Section  4(b) in respect of the three most recent applicable Performance Periods prior to the Termination Date (including, 
for the avoidance of doubt, any such Performance Periods that precede the Effective Date).

(iv)

Effective  as  of  the  Termination  Date  and  unless  greater  benefits  are  otherwise 
provided in the terms of the award agreement under which a Compensatory Award (as defined below) was granted, the 
Company shall provide for (A) the immediate vesting, settlement and exercisability of, and lapse of any restrictions on 
sale or transfer (other than any such restriction arising by operation of law) with respect to, each and every stock option, 
restricted  stock  award,  restricted  stock  unit  award  and  other  equity-based  award  and  performance  award  (with  such 
performance awards vesting at target level) (each, a “Compensatory Award”) that is outstanding as of  immediately prior 
to the Termination Date and (B) the extension of the term during which each and every Compensatory Award may be 
exercised by the Executive until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Termination Date or (y) the date upon which 
the right to exercise any Compensatory Award would have expired if the Executive had continued to be employed by the 
Company under the terms of this Agreement until the date the Employment Term would have ended if the Executive’s 
employment had not terminated and no further extensions of the Employment Term had occurred.

(v)

Following  the  Termination  Date,  the  Executive  and  his  eligible  dependents  shall 
continue to receive medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage at the same active employee premium cost as a 
similarly situated active employee until the earlier of (A) his receipt of equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans 
and  programs  of  a  subsequent  employer  (such  coverage  and  benefits  to  be  determined  on  a  coverage-by-coverage  or 
benefit-by-benefit basis) or (B) two years after the Termination Date; provided, 

-7-

 
 
however, that to the extent the coverage described above cannot be provided under the Company’s benefit plans, or if the 
Company’s  obligations  contemplated  by  this  Section   6(c)(v)  would  result  in  the  imposition  of  excise  taxes  on  the 
Company for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care 
Act  of  2010,  as  amended  (to  the  extent  applicable),  the  Company  shall  discontinue  such  coverage,  and,  in  either 
situation,  during  the  period  described  above  in  this  Section   6(c)(v),  the  Executive  shall  be  entitled  to  a  monthly  cash 
payment equal to the Company’s monthly portion of the premiums under such plans, determined as of the Termination 
Date.  This provision of continued participation in the Company’s medical, dental and vision plans is intended to satisfy 
the Company’s COBRA obligation, if any.

(d)

With Cause; Other than for Good Reason; Due to Death or Disability.  If prior to the end of the 
Employment  Term  the  Executive’s  employment  is  terminated  by  reason  of  (i)  the  Company’s  termination  of  Executive’s 
employment with Cause or (ii) the Executive’s (A) voluntary termination of his employment other than for Good Reason or (B) 
death or Disability, then this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive hereunder other than for (x) 
the  payment  of  the  Accrued  Obligation  to  the  Executive,  and  (y)  the  timely  payment  or  provision  of  vested  deferred 
compensation and other employee benefits if and when otherwise due.

(e)

Release Requirement.  As a condition to receiving the Severance Benefits in Section 6(b) or 
COC  Severance  Benefits  in  Section  6(c)  of  this  Agreement,  the  Executive  shall  be  required  to:    (i)  execute  on  or  before  the 
Release Expiration Date (as defined below), and not revoke within any time provided by the Company to do so, a release of all 
claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”),  which Release shall release the Company and each of its Affiliates 
and  their  respective  affiliates,  and  the  foregoing  entities’  respective  shareholders,  members,  partners,  officers,  managers, 
directors, fiduciaries, employees, representatives, agents and benefit plans (and fiduciaries of such plans) from any and all claims, 
including any and all causes of action arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company and each of its Affiliates or 
the  termination  of  such  employment,  but  excluding  all  claims  to  the  Severance  Benefits  or  COC  Severance  Benefits  the 
Executive may have under this Section  6, rights to vested benefits or continuation coverage under Company-sponsored health and 
retirement plans pursuant to the terms of such plans, and rights to defense and indemnification from the Company in accordance 
with the Company’s governing documents or any separate indemnification agreement entered into between the Executive and the 
Company, and any directors and officers liability insurance in accordance with the terms of such insurance policies; and (ii) abide 
by  all  of  the  Executive’s  post-separation  obligations  hereunder  in  Sections   9,   10  and   11  of  this  Agreement  (and  in  any  other 
agreement between the Executive and the Company).  If the Release is not executed and returned to the Company on or before 
the Release Expiration Date, and the required revocation period has not fully expired without revocation of the Release by the 
Executive, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any portion of the Severance Benefits or COC Severance Benefits.  As used 
herein,  the  “Release  Expiration  Date”  is  that  date  that  is  21  days  following  the  date  upon  which  the  Company  delivers  the 
Release to the Executive (which shall occur no later than 7 days after the Termination Date and which number of days shall be 
counted in accordance with the requirements of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”)) or, in the event 
that such termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment 

-8-

 
 
termination program” (as such phrase is defined in ADEA), the date that is 45 days following such delivery date.  

Clawback.    Any  compensation  paid  or  provided  by  the  Company  under  this  Agreement  or 
otherwise  shall  be  subject  to  recovery  by  the  Company  pursuant  to  any  Company  policy  regarding  clawbacks  or  recovery  of 
erroneously awarded compensation, but only to the extent such policy is in effect prior to a Change of Control.

(f)

(g)

Expiration of the Employment Term; Non-Renewal.  If either the Company or the Executive 
elects to not to extend the Employment Term by not renewing this Agreement in accordance with Section  2, the Executive shall 
not be entitled to any additional compensation upon his termination of employment with the Company other than the Accrued 
Obligation.  For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of employment by the Company following the end of the Employment 
Term  shall  not  entitle  the  Executive  to  receive  any  Severance  Benefits  regardless  of  the  reason  for  his  termination  of 
employment..

7.

Certain  Excise  Taxes.    Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  in  this  Agreement,  if  the  Executive  is  a 
“disqualified  individual”  (as  defined  in  Section  280G(c)  of  the  Code),  and  the  payments  and  benefits  provided  for  under  this 
Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any 
of its Affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and 
benefits provided for under this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total 
amounts and benefits received by the Executive from the Company and its Affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three 
times the Executive’s “base amount”(as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and 
benefits  received  by  the  Executive  shall  be  subject  to  the  excise  tax  imposed  by  Section  4999  of  the  Code  or  (b)  paid  in  full, 
whichever produces the better net after-tax position to the Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 
4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes).  The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made 
by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid 
or  provided  (beginning  with  such  payment  or  benefit  that  would  be  made  last  in  time  and  continuing,  to  the  extent  necessary, 
through  to  such  payment  or  benefit  that  would  be  made  first  in  time)  and,  then,  reducing  any  benefit  to  be  provided  in  kind 
hereunder in a similar order.  The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits 
provided  hereunder  is  necessary  shall  be  made  by  the  Company  in  good  faith.    If  a  reduced  payment  or  benefit  is  made  or 
provided  and  through  error  or  otherwise  that  payment  or  benefit,  when  aggregated  with  other  payments  and  benefits  from  the 
Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining if a parachute payment exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times the 
Executive’s  base  amount,  then  the  Executive  shall  immediately  repay  such  excess  to  the  Company  upon  notification  that  an
overpayment has been made.  Nothing in this Section  7 shall require the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to be responsible for, 
or have any liability or obligation with respect to, the Executive’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.

filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Affiliate having made substantial progress towards acquiring such business, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity. 

“Competing  Business”  shall  mean  any  business,  individual,  partnership,  firm,

or its Affiliates disclosed or entrusted to the Executive by the Company or its Affiliates or created or developed by the Executive

(i)

Subject  to  the  exceptions  set  forth  in  Section   10(b)(ii),  the  Executive  covenants  and 
agrees  that  during  the  Prohibited  Period  (A)  the  Executive  will  refrain  from  carrying  on  or  engaging  in,  directly  or 
indirectly, any Competing Business in the Restricted Area and (B) the Executive will not, and the Executive will cause 
the Executive’s affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, become an employee, partner, owner 
or member of (or an independent contractor to), control or participate in or loan money to, sell or lease equipment to or

traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange, without violating the provisions of 
Section   10(b),  provided  that  neither  the  Executive  nor  any  of  the  Executive’s  affiliates  (A)  has  the  power,  directly  or 
indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs of such entity or (B) is  involved in the management of such 
entity.  

(iii)

The  Executive  further  covenants  and  agrees  that  during  the  Prohibited  Period,  the 
Executive  will  not,  and  the  Executive  will  cause  the  Executive’s  affiliates  not  to  (A)  engage  or  employ,  or  solicit  or 
contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who is then currently an officer or employee of the 
Company or any of its Affiliates or was an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates within the prior 
six months or (B) canvass, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed 
away from the Company or any of its Affiliates any person who or which is or was (1) a customer of the Company or 
any of its Affiliates during the 

-12-

 
 
Reference Period and (2) with whom or which the Executive either had contact or a relationship with or about whom or 
which the Executive developed or acquired Confidential Information during the Reference Period.

for any or no reason, to waive the provisions of this Section  10 on a case-by-case basis. 

(iv)

The Executive may seek the written consent of the Company, which may be withheld 

(v)

The Executive recognizes that the Executive is a high-level, executive employee who 
will  develop  and/or  be  provided  with  access  to  trade  secrets  as  part  of  the  Executive’s  employment  and  that  the 
restrictive covenants set forth in this Section  10(b) are reasonable and necessary in light of the Executive’s position and 
access to the Company’s trade secrets.

(c)

Reasonableness; Enforcement.  The Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that 
the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section  10(b) are reasonable and 
do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company.  The Executive 
hereby  represents  to  the  Company  that  the  Executive  has  read  and  understands,  and  agrees  to  be  bound  by,  the  terms  of  this 
Section  10.  The Executive acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Section  10 
are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the 
operations of the Business, (ii) the Executive’s level of control over and contact with the Business in all jurisdictions in which it 
is conducted, (iii) the fact that the Business is conducted throughout the Restricted Area and (iv) the amount of compensation, 
trade secrets and Confidential Information that the Executive is receiving in connection with the performance of the Executive’s 
duties hereunder. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section  10 be enforced to the fullest extent 
permitted  under  applicable  Legal  Requirements,  whether  now  or  hereafter  in  effect  and  therefore,  to  the  extent  permitted  by 
applicable Legal Requirements, the Executive and the Company hereby waive any provision of applicable Legal Requirements 
that would render any provision of this Section  10 invalid or unenforceable. 

(d)

Reformation.  The  Company  and  the  Executive  agree  that  the  foregoing  restrictions  are 
reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section  10 would cause irreparable 
injury to the Company.  The Executive represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section  10 will not 
impose an undue hardship upon the Executive or any person or entity affiliated with the Executive.  The Executive understands 
that the foregoing restrictions may limit the Executive’s ability to engage in certain businesses anywhere in the Restricted Area 
during the Prohibited Period, but acknowledges that the Confidential Information provided to or developed by the Executive is of 
such importance that it justifies such restriction.  Further, the Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s skills are such that the 
Executive can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent the 
Executive from earning a living.  Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction 
to  be  unreasonable,  or  overly  broad  as  to  geographic  area  or  time,  or  otherwise  unenforceable,  the  parties  intend  for  the 
restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as 
so modified, to be fully enforced.  By agreeing to this 

-13-

 
 
contractual  modification  prospectively  at  this  time,  the  Company  and  the  Executive  intend  to  make  this  provision  enforceable 
under the Legal Requirements of all applicable jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as 
prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal.

11.

Responsibilities  with  Respect  to  Confidential  Information  of  Prior  Employers.    The  Company  requires  the 
Executive  to  protect  and  secure  the  Company’s  Confidential  Information  and  intellectual  property.    Likewise,  the  Company 
requires  the  Executive  to  protect  the  confidential  information  and  intellectual  property  of  the  Executive’s  former  employers.  
Accordingly, as a condition of continued employment with the Company:

information, data, process, or method which is or was claimed to be confidential or proprietary by any former employer or any 
customer, supplier or consultant of a former employer.

(a)

(b)

The  Executive  will  not,  during  the  Employment  Term  and  thereafter,  breach  any  other 
agreement obligating the Executive to keep in confidence confidential or proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by 
the Executive in confidence or in trust in connection with prior employment before beginning employment with the Company.  
The Executive will not disclose to the Company or any employee of the Company, or induce the Company or any employee of 
the Company to use in any unauthorized manner any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to a former 
employer of the Executive.  

To the extent that the Executive has participated in conversations, meetings or other sharing of 
information and ideas with attorneys representing the Executive’s previous employers, the Executive agrees not to disclose the 
substance or content of such communications to anyone at the Company.

of  the  Company’s  then  outstanding  voting  securities  (or  the  then  outstanding  voting  securities  of  the  entity 
resulting from such merger or other transaction);

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

(Senior Management)

Exhibit 10.17

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Award”) is made as of October 28, 2022 (the 
“Grant  Date”),  by  and  between  Dril-Quip,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  “Company”),  and  _________________  (the 
“Grantee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Plan”), the Compensation 
Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it would be in the 
interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant restricted shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the 
“Common  Stock”),  as  provided  herein,  in  order  to  encourage  the  Grantee  to  remain  in  the  employ  of  the  Company  or  its 
Subsidiaries, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of the Grantee in the Company and to stimulate the active interest of the 
Grantee in the development and financial success of the Company.

Grantee, subject to the following terms and conditions of this Award:

NOW THEREFORE, the Company awards the restricted shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) to the 

1.

Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, including, but not 
limited  to,  Section  2  of  this  Award,  the  Company  hereby  grants  to  the  Grantee  an  award  of  _______________  shares  of 
Restricted Stock under the Plan.  Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings set forth in 
the Plan.

As of the Grant Date, as determined by the Committee, the shares of Restricted Stock will be (i) registered in a book 
entry account (“Account”) in the name of the Grantee or (ii) evidenced by the issuance of stock certificates, which certificates 
will  be  registered  in  the  name  of  the  Grantee  and  will  bear  an  appropriate  legend  referring  to  the  terms,  conditions,  and 
restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock.  Any certificates issued that evidence the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held 
in custody by the Company or, if specified by the Committee, by a third party custodian or trustee, until the restrictions on such 
shares  shall  have  lapsed,  and,  as  a  condition  of  this  Award,  the  Grantee  shall  deliver  a  stock  power,  duly  endorsed  in  blank,
relating to the shares of Restricted Stock.  The Restricted Stock will constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock 
for all corporate purposes.

2.

(a)

Vesting Schedule; Settlement.  

Except as provided in Section 2(b) below, the restrictions on the shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse, and the 

shares shall vest, in the following percentages on the following vesting dates: 

 
 
 
 
(i)  33 1/3% on the first anniversary of the Grant Date;

(ii)  33 1/3% on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and

(iii)  33 1/3% on the third anniversary of the Grant Date;

; provided, however, that the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date 
through  each  of  the  above  vesting  dates.    Any  fractional  shares  shall  be  rounded-up  to  the  next  whole  share  (not  to 
exceed  the  total  number  of  shares  of  Restricted  Stock  granted  under  this  Award).    If  the  Grantee  does  not  remain 
continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary until the vesting dates specified above, then all shares of then 
outstanding Restricted Stock shall be forfeited immediately after termination of the Grantee’s employment.

(b)

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  should  a  successor  or  acquirer  (or  any  parent  of  such  entity)  fail  to  assume, 
replace  or  continue  this  Award  in  the  event  of  a  Change  of  Control,  the  Restricted  Stock  shall  become  fully  vested  and  the 
restrictions shall lapse as of the date of the occurrence of such Change of Control; provided, however, that the Grantee has been 
in continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary at all times since the Grant Date.  In the event that a successor or 
acquirer  (or  any  parent  of  such  entity)  assumes,  replaces  or  continues  this  Award  in  the  event  of  a  Change  of  Control,  the 
Restricted  Stock  shall  become  fully  vested  and  the  restrictions  shall  lapse  in  the  event  of  the  Grantee’s  termination  of 
employment by the Company without “Cause” or by the Grantee for “Good Reason”, in either case, during a “Change of Control 
Period”.  For purposes of this Award, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i)  “Cause” shall  have the meaning ascribed to such term in any written employment, services, severance or 
similar agreement between the Company and the Grantee, or, in the absence of any such agreement or use of 
such  term  in  such  agreement,  shall  mean  (A)  the  commission  of  a  felony  or  any  other  crime  by  the  Grantee 
involving intentional and actual fraud, dishonesty or breach of trust; (B) willful misconduct or gross negligence 
with respect to the Grantee’s performance of his or her duties for the Company, including the duties set forth in 
any  employment,  services  or  similar  agreement  (other  than  such  failure  resulting  from  incapacity  due  to 
physical  or  mental  illness  or  injury);  (C)  conduct  by  the  Grantee  bringing  the  Company  or  its  affiliates  into 
material public disgrace; or (D) material failure to perform duties of the office held by the Grantee as reasonably 
directed in writing by the Grantee’s supervisor (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical 
or mental illness or injury).  

(ii)  “Change of Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the occurrence of a Change of Control 
and ending on the second anniversary of such date.

(iii)  “Good  Reason”  shall    have  the  meaning  ascribed  to  such  term  in  any  written  employment,  services,  
severance or similar agreement between the Company and the Grantee, or, in the absence of any such agreement 
or use of such term in such agreement, shall mean any of the following (without the Grantee’s written consent): 
(A) a material diminution in the Grantee’s position (including offices, titles and 

2

 
reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, including the Grantee’s failure to serve in the same 
office of any successor entity or the parent of any successor entity following a Change of Control; or (B) any 
material failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of any employment, services or similar 
agreement between the Grantee and the Company; or (C) the Company’s requiring the Grantee to be based at 
any office located more than 50 miles from Grantee’s primary work location immediately prior to such Change 
of Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall cease to exist under this Award unless (i) within 
60  days  of  Grantee’s  knowledge  of  the  initial  existence  of  the  condition  or  conditions  giving  rise  to  Good 
Reason the Grantee provides written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition or conditions, (ii) 
the Company fails to remedy such condition or conditions within 30 days following the receipt of such written 
notice  (the  “Cure  Period”);  (iii)  if  any  such  condition  is  not  remedied  within  such  Cure  Period,  the  Grantee 
terminates employment within 10 business days following expiration of such Cure Period.

(c)

As  soon  as  administratively  feasible,  but  in  no  event  later  than  30  days  following  the  vesting  and  lapse  of 
restrictions on the Restricted Stock, and subject to tax withholding, the Company will cause to be removed from the Account the 
restrictions  or,  if  requested  in  writing  to  the  Committee,  cause  to  be  issued  and  delivered  to  the  Grantee  (in  certificate  or 
electronic form) shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock that have vested, less the amount of 
Common Stock withheld, if any.

3.

Voting and Dividend Rights.  During the period in which the restrictions provided herein are applicable to the 
Restricted  Stock,  the  Grantee  shall  have  the  right  to  vote  the  shares  of  Restricted  Stock.    Subject  to  the  forfeiture  condition 
described  below,  Grantee  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  any  cash  dividends  paid  with  respect  to  the  Restricted  Stock  during  the 
Restriction  Period,  but  such  dividends  shall  be  held  by  the  Company  and  paid,  without  interest,  within  10  days  following  the 
lapse of the restriction on the underlying shares of Restricted Stock.  In the event shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, cash 
dividends  paid  with  respect  to  such  shares  during  the  Restriction  Period  shall  also  be  forfeited.    Any  dividend  or  distribution 
payable with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that shall be paid or distributed in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to 
the same restrictions  provided  for  herein,  and  the  shares  so  paid  or  distributed shall be deemed Restricted Stock subject to all 
terms and conditions herein.  Any dividend or distribution (other than cash or Common Stock) payable or distributable on shares 
of Restricted Stock, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Award to 
the  same  extent  and  in  the  same  manner  as  the  Restricted  Stock  is  subject;  provided  that  the  Committee  may  make  such 
modifications and additions to the terms and conditions (including restrictions on transfer and the conditions to the timing and 
degree of lapse of such restrictions) that shall become applicable to such dividend or distribution as the Committee may provide 
in its absolute discretion.

4.

Transfer Restrictions.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan or herein, the shares of Restricted Stock are 
non-transferable and may not otherwise be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall not be subject to 
execution, attachment or similar process.  Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, 
the award provided 

3

 
for  herein  shall  immediately  become  null  and  void,  and  the  shares  of  Restricted  Stock  shall  be  immediately  forfeited  to  the 
Company.

5.

Tax Withholding.  The Company will have the right to deduct from the shares of Common Stock and dividends 
otherwise  payable  or  deliverable  an  amount  of  cash  and/or  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  (valued  at  their  Fair  Market 
Value)  on  the  applicable  date  that  is  equal  to  the  amount  of  all  federal,  state  and  local  taxes  required  to  be  withheld  by  the 
Company, as determined by the Committee.  Unless the Committee or the Board shall determine otherwise at any time after the 
date  hereof,  the  Grantee  may  satisfy  all  or  part  of  such  withholding  tax  requirement  by  (i)  electing  to  sell  to  the  Company  a 
designated  number  of  unrestricted  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  by  the  Grantee  at  a  price  per  share  equal  to  the  Fair  Market 
Value of such shares or (ii) directing the Company to retain shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable under this Award.

6.

Incorporation of Plan Provisions.  This Award and the award of Restricted Stock hereunder are made pursuant 
to the Plan and are subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan as if the same were fully set forth herein. In the event that 
any provision of this Award conflicts with the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  The Grantee acknowledges receipt of 
a copy of the Plan and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan by the Committee shall be final, binding and 
conclusive upon the Grantee.

7.

No  Rights  to  Employment.    Nothing  contained  in  this  Award  shall  confer  upon  the  Grantee  any  right  to 
continued employment by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any 
Subsidiary to terminate or modify the terms of the Grantee’s employment at any time.

8.

communication to the Company with respect to this Award shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by first

2022 PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.19

To:  ________________________

You have been selected as a recipient of performance units (“Performance Units”) under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. 
(the  “Plan”).    This  Award  Agreement  (“Agreement”)  and  the  Plan  together  govern  your  rights  and  set  forth  all  of  the  conditions  and 
limitations affecting such rights.  Terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Plan will have the meanings ascribed to them in the 
Plan.  If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms will supersede and replace 
the conflicting terms of this Agreement.

1.

Terms.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, you have been granted Performance Units as outlined 
below:

Grant Date:  October 28, 2022

Performance Period:  October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025

Vesting Date: October 28, 2025

Performance Units At Target: 

[●]

Performance Goal: 

Schedule I to this Agreement describes the manner in which the total number of Performance Units that  
vest hereunder will be calculated, with the total number of vested Performance Units 
based on the total shareholder return of the Company’s Common Stock as compared 
to  the  total  shareholder  return  of  the  component  companies  on  the  VanEck  OIH 
Index  and  the  S&P  500  Index,  as  described  in  more  detail  on  Schedule  I  (the 
“Performance Goal”).

2.

Vesting.    After  the  close  of  the  Performance  Period,  but  before  the  Vesting  Date,  the  Committee  shall  determine  and  certify  the 
extent  to  which  the  Performance  Goal  has  been  achieved  in  accordance  with  Schedule  I.    The  Performance  Units  will  vest  and 
become non‑forfeitable on the Vesting Date in an amount determined based on the results of the Performance Goal, provided you 
have been continuously employed by the Company or an affiliate of the Company at all times from the Grant Date until the Vesting 
Date.    For  the  avoidance  of  doubt,  if  the  Committee  determines  that  the  level  of  achievement  of  the  Performance  Goal  does  not 
meet  the  minimum  threshold  requirement  specified  in  Schedule  I,  then  all  Performance  Units  shall  be  forfeited.    If  you  are  not 
employed on the Vesting Date, you shall have no rights under this Agreement and all Performance Units shall be forfeited as of 
your termination date.

Retirement

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if you terminate your employment due to Retirement (as defined 
below), then, except as provided in the paragraph below or section 7 below, you will not forfeit your Performance Units as a result 
of your Retirement, and on the Vesting Date you will vest in the number of Performance Units determined by multiplying 

 
 
 
 
(i) the number of Performance Units that would have vested as determined in accordance with the paragraph immediately above 
had your employment not terminated and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed between the 
Grant Date and the date of your termination of employment due to Retirement and the denominator of which is 1095.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means your voluntary termination of employment on or after the date when you are 
at least 55 years old and have at least five years of service (based on your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries or 
predecessor companies); provided, however, that if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the Vesting 
Date that you have taken any action or actions that are detrimental or injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then your 
termination of employment shall be treated as a voluntary termination and not Retirement and as a result your Performance Units 
shall be forfeited as of such determination date.

Death

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if your employment terminates due to death, then on the date of 
your death you will vest in the number of Performance Units determined by multiplying (i) the number of Performance Units at 
Target and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed between the Grant Date and the date of your 
termination of employment due to death and the denominator of which is 1095.

Book Entry Account.  The Company shall establish (or shall instruct its transfer agent or stock plan administrator to establish) a 
book  entry  account  representing  the  Performance  Units  at  target  in  your  name  effective  as  of  the  Grant  Date,  provided  that  the 
Company  shall  retain  control  of  the  Performance  Units  in  such  account  until  the  Performance  Units  have  become  vested  in 
accordance with this Agreement and shares of Common Stock have been issued, if any, in settlement of the Performance Units.

Distribution of Shares.  You shall receive one share of Common Stock in satisfaction of each vested Performance Unit credited to 
your account, which shall be registered in your name and transferable by you, on the Vesting Date.

Stockholder  Rights;  Dividend  Equivalents.    The  Performance  Units  do  not  confer  on  you  any  rights  of  a  stockholder  of  the 
Company  unless  and  until  shares  of  Common  Stock  are  in  fact  issued  to  you  in  connection  with  the  vested  Performance  Units.  
However, cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, shall be paid with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock 
that ultimately vest under this Agreement as if such shares of Common Stock had been outstanding during the entire period from 
the Grant Date to the Vesting Date. Any such cash dividends or other cash distributions shall vest and be paid in cash if and at such 
times the underlying Performance Units vested.

Transferability.  No rights granted under this Agreement can be assigned or transferred, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by 
operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of any transfer or assignment of 
rights  granted  under  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with  this  Section  6,  the  person  or  persons,  if  any,  to  whom  such  rights  are 
transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be treated after your death the same as you under this Agreement.  
Any attempted transfer or assignment of rights under this Agreement prohibited under this Section 6 shall be null and void.  

Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control prior to end of the Performance Period, the Performance Period shall be 
deemed to end on the date of the Change of Control and the number of Performance Units subject to this Agreement shall be fixed 
at a number equal to the greater of 

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

2

 
 
 
(i)  the  number  of  Performance  Units  at  Target  and  (ii)  the  number  of  Performance  Units  that  would  vest  based  on  the  level  of 
achievement of the Performance Goal through the end of such adjusted Performance Period, calculated in accordance with Schedule 
I and certified by the Committee; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, fix such number at a greater 
number of Performance Units up to the maximum number of Performance Units that could otherwise be earned in accordance with 
Schedule I.   

Should  a  successor  or  acquirer  (or  any  parent  of  such  entity)  fail  to  assume,  replace  or  continue  this  Agreement  following  such 
Change of Control, such Performance Units shall become fully vested as of the date of the occurrence of such Change of Control 
and shall be paid in Common Stock or cash (based on the value of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Change of Control 
multiplied by the number of vested Performance Units), in the discretion of the Committee, no later than 10 business days after the 
date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that you have been in continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary 
at  all  times  since  the  Grant  Date.  In  the  event  that  a  successor  or  acquirer  (or  any  parent  of  such  entity)  assumes,  replaces  or 
continues this Award following such Change of Control, such Performance Units shall remain outstanding and become fully vested 
on the earlier of (1) the Vesting Date; or (2) the date of your termination of employment by the Company without “Cause” or by 
you for “Good Reason”, in either case, during a “Change of Control Period” (which termination date shall otherwise be treated as 
the Vesting Date hereunder, including for purposes of Section 4 hereof). 

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Cause”  shall    have  the  meaning  ascribed  to  such  term  in  any  written  employment,  services,  severance  or  similar  agreement 
between you and the Company, or, in the absence of any such agreement or use of such term in such agreement, shall mean (A) the 
commission of a felony or any other crime by you involving intentional and actual fraud, dishonesty or breach of trust; (B) willful 
misconduct or gross negligence with respect to your performance of your duties for the Company, including the duties set forth in 
any employment, services or similar agreement (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness 
or  injury);  (C)  conduct  by  you  bringing  the  Company  or  its  affiliates  into  material  public  disgrace;  or  (D)  material  failure  to 
perform duties of the office held by you as reasonably directed in writing by your supervisor (other than such failure resulting from 
incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury). 

“Change of Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the occurrence of a Change of Control and ending on the second 
anniversary of such date.

“Good Reason” shall  have the meaning ascribed to such term in any written employment, services, severance or similar agreement 
between you and the Company, or, in the absence of any such agreement or use of such term in such agreement, shall mean any of 
the  following  (without  your  written  consent):  (A)  a  material  diminution  in  your  position  (including  offices,  titles  and  reporting
requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, including your failure to serve in the same office of any acquirer or successor 
entity or the parent of any acquirer or successor entity following a Change of Control; or (B) any material failure by the Company 
to comply with any of the provisions of any employment, services or similar agreement between you and the Company; or (C) the 
Company’s requiring you to be based at any office located more than 50 miles from your primary work location immediately prior 
to such Change of Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall cease to exist under this Award unless (i) within 60 
days of your knowledge of the initial existence of the condition or conditions giving rise to Good Reason you provide written notice 
to  the  Company  of  the  existence  of  such  condition  or  conditions,  (ii)  the  Company  fails  to  remedy  such  condition  or  conditions 
within 30 days following the receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”); (iii) if any such condition is not remedied within 
such Cure Period, you terminate employment within 10 business days following expiration of such Cure Period.

Withholding; Code Section 409A.  The Company has the right to deduct applicable taxes from any payment under this Agreement 
and withhold, at the time of vesting of shares of Common Stock, an appropriate number of shares of Common Stock for payment of 
required withholding taxes or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations 
for withholding of such taxes, as determined by the Committee. The Performance Units granted under this Agreement are intended 
to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and ambiguous provisions of this Agreement, if any, shall be construed and 
interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

hand-delivered.    Notice  to  the  Company  shall  be  addressed  to  the  Company’s  General  Counsel  at  6401  N.  Eldridge  Parkway,

Calculation of Performance Unit Adjustment.

(i)

(ii)

The number of Performance Units that shall vest as of the Vesting Date shall be equal to the product of (a) the number of 
Performance Units at Target, multiplied by (b) the Adjustment Factor.  

The Total Shareholder Return of the Company, the S&P 500 Index and of each of the Comparison Companies shall be 
calculated  and  certified  by  the  Committee.    The  percentile  ranking  of  the  Company’s  Total  Shareholder  Return  as 
compared  to  the  Total  Shareholder  Return  of  each  Comparison  Company  and  the  S&P  500  Index  shall  determine  the 
Adjustment Factor using the chart below.  The Adjustment Factor for performance rankings between points on this chart 
shall  be  determined  by  linear  interpolation  between  the  values  listed.    In  no  event  shall  the  Adjustment  Factor  exceed 
200%.    If  the  performance  ranking  is  below  the  30th  percentile,  the  Adjustment  Factor  shall  be  zero.    If  the  Total 
Shareholder
