Business General PART I Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Dril-Quip”), is a leading developer of innovative technologies for the energy industry, designing and manufacturing best-in-class products for traditional oil and gas, and certain energy transition applications. 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, specialty connectors and associated pipes, subsea production systems, mudline hanger systems, production riser systems, dry tree systems, subsea manifolds, line hangers and expandable linersy stems, multi-frac well connections, conventional wellhead, thermal wellhead, completion packers and safety and kelly 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. Dril-Quip has developed its broad line of subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment primarily through its internal product research and development efforts. The Company believes that it has achieved significant market share and brand name recognition with respect to its established products due to the technological capabilities, reliability, cost effectiveness and operational timesaving features of these products. On July 31, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of 1185641 B.C. LTD (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac, “Great North”) for a purchase price of $105 million CAD, approximately $79.8 million, which is subject to customary adjustments for cash and working capital. The acquisition of Great North allows Dril-Quip to service its clients with Great North’s products. For information with respect to this item, see “Business Acquisitions,” Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II, which is incorporated herein by reference. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, theCo mpany reorganized its structure in order to streamline operations and leadership around more focused and integrated product and service lines to align with its business strategy. To reflect the Company’s new organizational structure, the Company changed presentation of its segments in 2023 into the following three reportable business segments: Subsea Products, Subsea Services, and Well Construction. Segment operating results for the prior year comparative period have been restated to reflect this change. Previously, the Company’s operations were organized into three geographic segments. Our Subsea Products business manufactures highly engineered, field-proven products with a wide array of deepwater drilling equipment and technology that meets the requirements for harsh subsea environments. Our Subsea Services business provides high-level aftermarket support and technical services with field technicians that support the full installation and lifecycle management of regulatory and industry standards, as well as offering industry training programs. Our Well Construction business provides products and services utilized in the construction of the wellbore such as completions, casing hardware and liner hanger systems. The Well Construction business also includes all of Great North’s operations as of the acquisition date. These products and services are used on both land and offshore markets. Additionally, Corporate includes the expenses and assets of the Company’s corporate office functions, legal and other administrative expenses that are managed at a consolidated level. For information with respect to ourse gments, see “Business Segments,” Note 13 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Dril-Quip markets its products through its offices and sales representatives located in the major international energy markets throughout the world. In 2023, the Company generated approximately 74.9% of its revenues from foreign sales compared to 66.2% and 63.8% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue is based on the location where services are provided and products are sold. The Company makes available, free of charge on its website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10- Q (in both HTML and iXBRL formats), current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practical after it electronically files such reports with, or furnishes them to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s website address is www.dril-quip.com. Documents and information on the Company’s website, or on any other website, are not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. The SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports the Company has filed with the SEC. 6 The Company also makes available free of charge on its website (https://www.dril-quip.com/About/ESG/Governance/Corporate- Governance-Documents) its: • • Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Ethical Practices, • Audit Committee Charter, • Nominating and Governance Committee Charter, and • Compensation Committee Charter.

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 arein fluenced 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. During 2023, crude oil prices fluctuated, with a high of $97.10 per barrel and a low of $71.03 per barrel. According to the January 2024 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 $82.49 per barrel in 2023, and the price is forecasted to average $82.49 per barrel in 2024 and $79.48 per barrel in 2025. 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 four 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 and rigs, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves, and technological advances. 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 prepares for 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) and geothermal energy. Each of these industries align 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, 2023 are summarized below: 2023 Brent Crude Oil Prices 2022 2021 High Low Average Closing as of December 31, $ $ $ $ 97.10 71.03 82.49 77.69 $ $ $ $ 133.18 76.02 100.94 82.82 $ $ $ $ 85.76 50.37 70.86 77.24 In its January 2024 Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA reported United States crude oil production averaged an estimated 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023 and is forecasted to average 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024. 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, equipment installation and monitoring, rework, reconditioning and repair services. Leasing revenues are derived from rental tools used during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. In 2023, the Company derived 63.9% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 24.9% of its revenues from services and 11.2% from leasing revenues, compared to 66.5%, 21.9% and 11.6% for products, services and leasing in 2022, respectively, and 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, 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 74.9% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2023, 66.2% 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 25.1% of the Company’s total revenues in 2023, 33.8% in 2022 and 36.2% in 2021. Revenue is based on the location where services are provided and products are sold. 8 Product contracts are negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not 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 of over time contracts, 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 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. 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. 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. The Company’s subsea production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Surface Equipment - Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, offshore CO2 injection installations, TLPs and Spars. Surface equipment includes 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. 9 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 thefl oating 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 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 inde epwater 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.” Well Construction - Well construction 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. In 2023, the Company acquired Great North and its product solutions, which includes pressure control and completion solutions, including customized and highly engineered wellhead products for use in heavy oil and thermal production locations. Services The Company provides services to customers, including technical advisory assistance, equipment installation and monitoring, rework, reconditioning, storage, maintenance and repair services on its customer-owned products. These services are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations and represented approximately 24.9% of revenues in 2023 compared to 21.9% in 2022 and 23.0% in 2021. Technical Advisory Assistance and Reconditioning. 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 worldwide facilities. See “Item 2. Properties” for a list of the Company’s facilities. The Company also provides reconditioning of its customer-owned products at the same facilities. 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 worldwide facilities. See “Item 2. Properties” for a list of the Company’s facilities. In 2023, the Company acquired Great North and its leasing solutions, which include the Multi-Well Frac Connector TM, Missile, Gyro Dart Launcher TM, and Conveyor Frac Ball Launcher. Rentals are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations and represented approximately 11.2% of revenues in 2023 compared to 11.6% in 2022 and 10.9% in 2021. 10 Manufacturing Dril-Quip has manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Macae, Brazil; and Edmonton, Canada.

Customers The Company’s principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies. Drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of the Company’s customer base. The Company’s customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in exploration and production. The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2023, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 59% of total revenues, and Chevron Corporation and its affiliated companies (“Chevron”) accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. In 2022, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 60% of total revenues, and Chevron accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. In 2021, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 59% of total revenue, and Chevron accounted for approximately 12% of total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in 2023, 2022 or 2021. 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, the availability of rigs and floating production storage and offloading (FSPO) units, 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 $262.8 million and $240.9 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The backlog at the end of 2023 represents an increase of approximately $21.9 million, or 9.1%, from the end of 2022. The Company’s backlog balance was positively impacted during 2023 as our product bookings increased primarily due to improvement in market conditions, the addition of Great North bookings, and a decrease in cancelations compared to 2022. The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2023 product backlog by December 31, 2024. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2023 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 has a multifaceted approach to marketing and sales to effectively promote its products and services globally. Utilizing digital marketing channels and its direct sales personnel across diverse domestic and international locations, the Company strives for direct and personalized engagement with clients. 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. 11 Dril-Quip also has integrated digital and web-based strategies into its marketing initiatives, recognizing the evolving landscape of the sales cycle. Dril-Quip’s official website serves as a central hub, offering comprehensive information about products and services, complemented by a strategic presence on social media platforms. The Company enhances its visibility and industry awareness by participating in virtual and industry conferences and trade shows and utilizes digital channels for targeted marketing and advertising. This digital integration complements traditional sales efforts, for a holistic approach to international market promotion of the Company’s products and services. 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 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 customer order is not included in backlog or bookings until after a purchase order is obtained. The primary factors influencing a customer’s decision to purchase the Company’s products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery. For large drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate customer needs with the Company’s engineering, manufacturing and service organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors. A portion of the Company’s business consists of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number of such projects in any year may fluctuate. The Company’s profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and cost-effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors, including availability of raw materials, changes in customer requirements and governmental regulations, can adversely affect the Company’s performance on individual projects, with potential material adverse effects on project profitability. Product Development and Engineering The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments include water depths in excess of 10,000 feet, well pressures 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 expertisein 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. Dril-Quip’s product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas. Our Houston facility comprises ~35,000 ft2 of best-in-class testing capacity supplemented by industry leading engineering capability. This allows us to fully test and qualify our designs to meet thene eds of our customers. In addition to this capability, 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.” Some notable examples of our Product Development successes are as follows: • • • The XPak De liner hanger, which provides our customers with both a replacement and an improvement to industry standard sub-mudline supplemental hanger systems. This product successfully passed field trials in 2021 and continues to be a focus of our product development efforts in order to access other geographies such as Brazil, Guyana and the continental USA. DXe hydraulic connectors were successfully developed and installed in the Norwegian North Sea, utilizing our patented DXe profile. Dril-Quip continues to see successful installations of our Horizontal Subsea Tree (HXT) which utilizes our ‘e’ series technologies which fundamentally reduce cost of ownership for our customers as well as addresses a significant reduction in Carbon Footprint due to efficiency of installation. 12 • • Our fully designed, tested and qualified high pressure subsea wellhead technology (SS-20) for 20k applications also continues to gain adoption as operators look for new discoveries across the globe. Dril-Quip successfully designed, tested and qualified wellhead systems against arduous customer specifications and becoming the 1st company globally to pass these enhanced specifications. Dril-Quip is also embracing theEn ergy Transition and aligning its core capabilities in the areas of Product Development and Engineering towards markets focused on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Geothermal Energy. Our ability to develop products to suit different operating parameters will position us well for future market opportunities. 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. 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. Dril-Quip will continue to strive for technological excellence and is well positioned to succeed across multiple sectors in the coming years. Our strong foundational product developments provide a solid platform for our future. 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 relativesi ze 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 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 believe that building a diverse, inclusive culture helps build an engaged and empowered workforce 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. 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 people development 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. Our board provides oversight to the leadership succession process to review our human capital analytics on workforce demographics, diversity and inclusion, hiring and attrition rates and succession readiness. These metrics are tracked, and progress is measured at cascading levels of the organization. 13 Core Values and Culture Fostering and maintaining a strong, transparent and collaborative culture is a key strategic focus to advance organizational and individual development. Our core values and beliefs demonstrate who we are and the way our employees interact with one another, our customers, suppliers and shareholders. We believe in doing the right thing first and always. Ethics and integrity are the foundations of our culture and the guiding principles that direct everything 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, 2023 was 1,659, a 22.3% increase from December 31, 2022. Of those 1,659 employees, 545 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 2023, the Company’s global workforce was 85.3% male and 14.7% female. 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. 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 and networking opportunities. Our commitment to supporting communities to further improve employee engagement has resulted in overwhelming response to volunteering efforts. 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. 14 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 outsideco mpensation 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 performance 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 incentivepr ograms. 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 subsidized 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 insurancean d 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 ourgr eatest 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 8.9% in December 2023. The average tenure of our employees is approximately 7.5 years, and about 36% of our employees have been employed by us for more than ten years. 15 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 2009 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 anum ber of the requirements in the September 2016 rule. Thefi nal rule implementing these revisions was published in September 2018. Subsequently, on May 2, 2019, BSEE issued the2019 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 January 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13990, which directed agencies to review the 2019 Well Control Rule to determine that OCS activities were being conducted safely and in an environmentally responsible manner. In August 2023, BSEE published the 2023 Well Control Rule, which includes additional requirements intended to enhance safety and oversight standards. 16 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. 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 and if continued could lead to additional changes to the tariff rates described above. President Biden has indicated that theseta riffs 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. 17 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. 18 Executive Officers of the Registrant Pursuant to the instructions to Item 401 of Regulation S-K, the following information is included in Part I of this Form 10-K: The following table sets forth the names, ages (as of February 20, 2024) and positions of the Company’s executive officers: Name Age Position Jeffrey J.

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 thebu siness, 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. 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. 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. 20 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 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; 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 COVID-19, 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. 21 Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption related to the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the military conflicts currently ongoing in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip. These conflicts could lead to market or operational disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Russia, Europe’s largest provider of natural gas, has significantly reduced the export of natural gas compared to the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine resulting in increased natural gas prices and the potential for natural gas shortages. In addition, the continuation of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia or the war between Israel and Hamas (including the potential escalation or geographic expansion of which could heighten other risks identified in this report) 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. Our business may also be affected by 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, 2023, 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. 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 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 and 2023, we faced, and continue to face, 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 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 74.9% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in 2023, 66.2% in 2022 and 63.8% in 2021. 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 ama terial 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 ama terial 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 morerene wable 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. 24 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 ate chnology or purchase a component, we may not be able to meet existing contractual commitments without increased costs ormo difications 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 2023, our top 15 customers represented approximately 59% of total revenues, and Chevron accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. In 2022 and 2021, our top 15 customers represented approximately 60% and 59% of total revenues, respectively, while Chevron accounted for approximately 10% and 12%, respectively of 2022 and 2021 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. Restrictions or disruptions of transportation related to events beyond our control, 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 can lead to 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 anega tive 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 byba nks 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. 25 We are exposed to thecred it 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. 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. 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 judgments 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 2023, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated, with a high of $97.10 per barrel, a low of $71.03 per barrel. According to the January 2024 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 $82.49 per barrel in 2023, and the price is forecasted to average $82.49 per barrel in 2024 and $79.48 per barrel in 2025. Crude oil prices declined in 2023, largely due to geopolitical turmoil. Further, crude oil prices have fluctuated considerably in recent years, in large part due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The recent escalation between Israel and Hamas may also have an impact on energy and commodity prices. We are unable to predict the impact that future supply and demand balances, weather events or conflicts may have on the global economy, our industry or our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, 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. 26 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 ach arge 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. 27 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 investigatean d 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. 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 thefu ture 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. 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. 28 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 havean 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. 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 futurein crease 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 benega tively 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. 29 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 datapr ivacy 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 aco mpany 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 ama terial adverse effect. 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 ama terial 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. 30 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, theDe laware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. 31 Item 1C. Cybersecurity We maintain a cybersecurity program that is reasonably designed to protect our information, and that of our customers, against cybersecurity threats that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems. Internal Cybersecurity Team and Governance Board of Directors Our Board, in coordination with the Audit Committee, oversees the Company’s enterprise risk management process, including the management and monitoring of risks arising from cybersecurity threats. The Company’s management regularly reviews with the Board and the Audit Committee the measures implemented by the Company designed to identify and mitigate data protection and cybersecurity risks. As part of such reviews, the Board and the Audit Committee receive reports and presentations quarterly, and on an as-needed basis, from members of our team responsible for overseeing the company’s cybersecurity risk management, including the head of our IT department, which address awi de range of topics including recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party reviews, the threat environment, technological trends and information security considerations arising with respect to the Company’s peers and third parties. In addition, we employ a major international accounting firm to act as our internal audit function and cybersecurity experts from the firm regularly assess the Company’s data protection and cybersecurity systems and present the results of its assessments to our Audit Committee. We have protocols by which certain cybersecurity incidents are escalated within the Company and, where appropriate, reported to the Board, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed. Internal Cybersecurity Team Our internal cybersecurity team, is responsible for implementing, monitoring, and maintaining cybersecurity and data protection practices across the company. The team includes IT Security staff with over 27 years of collective cybersecurity work experience and the globally recognized Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) credential. In addition to our internal cybersecurity capabilities, we regularly engage cybersecurity consultants to assess, identify, and manage cybersecurity risks. led by our IT Director, Management Our entire management team periodically participates in the review of our cybersecurity systems, processes, threats and incidents with our internal cybersecurity team, including the controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. Our entire management team also periodically participates in cybersecurity incident response exercises with our third-party cybersecurity firms to review how material incidents will be handled and reported. Our internal cybersecurity team works closely with our Legal department to oversee compliance with legal, regulatory and contractual security requirements. Risk Management and Strategy We employ systems and processes designed to oversee, identify, and reduce the potential impact of a security incident at key third- party vendors, service providers or customers or otherwise implicating the third-party technology and systems we use. The Company maintains cybersecurity risk insurance as part of its protection against potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident. Security Policy and Requirements The Company regularly conducts cybersecurity training for its employees along with ongoing tests such as simulated phishing exercises for its employees. The Company also has its third-party service provider regularly conduct penetration testing and vulnerability scanning. Response With respect to incident response, we have adopted a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan that applies in the event of a significant cybersecurity threat or incident (the “IRP”) to provide a standardized framework for responding to security incidents. The IRP sets out a coordinated approach to investigating, containing, documenting and mitigating incidents, including reporting findings and keeping senior management and other key stakeholders informed and involved as appropriate. The IRP applies to all Company personnel (including third-party contractors, vendors and partners) that perform functions or services require access to secure Company information, and to all devices and network services that are owned or managed by the Company. 32 Material Cybersecurity Risks, Threats & Incidents Evolving cybersecurity threats have and will continue to pose difficulties in preventing, detecting, mitigating, and remediating cybersecurity incidents. While weha ve not experienced any material, or reasonably likely material, cybersecurity threats or incidents during the reporting period, there can be no guarantee that we will not be the subject of future successful attacks, threats or incidents. We rely on information technology and third-party vendors to support our operations, including our secure processing of personal, confidential, sensitive, proprietary and other types of information. Despite ongoing efforts to continue improvement of our and our vendors’ ability to protect against cyber incidents, we may not be able to protect all information systems, and such incidents may lead to reputational harm, revenue and client loss, legal actions, statutory penalties, among other consequences. Additional information on cybersecurity risks we face can be found in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” under the heading “Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Technology,” which should bere ad in conjunction with the foregoing information.

Market for Registrant’s Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DRQ.” There were approximately 228 stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2023. This number includes the Company’s employees and directors that hold shares but does not include the number of security holders for whom shares are held in a “nominee” or “street” name. The Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to reinvest any retained earnings for the future operation and development of its business, or to use for potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities. The Board of Directors will review this policy on a regular basis in light of the Company’s earnings, financial position and market opportunities. Information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in “Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards,” Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II, which in incorporated herein by reference. Repurchase of Equity Securities For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans. However, the Company withheld 46,172 shares for restricted stock awards vested in 2023 at an average price of approximately $23.70. The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 (loss) 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, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, 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, 2022. 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, specialty connectors and associated pipes, subsea production systems, mudline hanger systems, production riser systems, dry tree systems, subsea manifolds, line hangers and expandable liner systems, multi-frac well connections, conventional wellhead, thermal wellhead, completion packers and safety and kelly 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. The Company’s organizational structure is based on product and service lines. The Company operates in three business segments— Subsea Products, Subsea Services, and Well Construction. Our Subsea Products business manufactures highly engineered, field-proven products with awi de array of deepwater drilling equipment and technology that meets the requirements for harsh subsea environments. Our Subsea Services business provides high-level aftermarket support and technical services with field technicians that support the full installation and lifecycle management of regulatory and industry standards, as well as offering industry training programs. Our Well Construction business provides products and services utilized in the construction of the wellbore such as completions, casing hardware and liner hanger systems. These products and services are used on both land and offshore markets. Recent Developments On July 31, 2023, TIW Canada ULC (“Purchaser”), an unlimited liability company governed by the Laws of Alberta and wholly- owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of 1185641 B.C. Ltd. (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac), a corporation governed by the laws of the province of British Columbia (“Great North Wellhead”), pursuant to a definitive agreement (the“S hare Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 31, 2023, among each of the shareholders of Great North Wellhead (collectively, “Sellers”), Industrial Growth Partners V AIV L.P., in its capacity as agent to Sellers thereunder, Purchaser and, solely in its capacity as guarantor for the obligations of Purchaser thereunder, Dril-Quip for a cash purchase price of $105 million CAD, approximately $79.8 million. The purchase price is subject to customary purchase price adjustments and includes potential earnout payments of up to $30 million CAD, approximately $22.8 million, to be paid over the course of 2024 and 2025 if Great North Wellhead and its subsidiaries meet specific revenue growth targets. The parties have made customary representations and warranties to each other. The Share Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants. For information with respect to this item, see “Business Acquisitions,” Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II, which is incorporated herein by reference. 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 and a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock that is repurchased by publicly traded U.S. corporations or their specified affiliates. 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. 38 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report. We continue to monitor the current global economic environment, specifically including inflationary pressures and the macroeconomic impact of the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and any resulting impacts on our financial position and results of operations. See our “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report. Oil and gas prices and thele vel 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 tangibleor 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 theCo mpany’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. Oil and Gas Prices The market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. The level of capital expenditures has generally been dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies and the ability and/or desire of OPEC+ and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. The volatility in Brent crude oil prices over the past four 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 and rigs, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves, and technological advances. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. Futurede clines 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.” During 2023, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated, with a high of $97.10 per barrel, a low of $71.03 per barrel, and an average of $82.49 per barrel compared to an average of $100.94 per barrel in 2022. According to the January 2024 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent crude oil prices are projected to average $82.49 per barrel in 2024 and $79.48 per barrel in 2025. The International Energy Agency projected the global oil demand to grow by approximately 1.2 million barrels per day to a total of 104.2 million barrels per day in 2024 based on its January 2024 Oil Market Report. 39 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. 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. Mobile Offshore Drilling Units 146 403 137 376 2023 2022 Floating Rigs Jack-up Rigs Floating Rigs Jack-up Rigs Source: IHS—Petrodata RigBase— December 31, 2023, and 2022 According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2023, there were 556 rigs contracted for the Company (146 floating rigs and 410 jack-up rigs), which represents a 7.1% increase from the rig count of 519 rigs (139 floating rigs and 380 jack-up rigs) as of December 31, 2022. 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 2023, the Company derived 63.9% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 24.9% of its revenues from services and 11.2% from leasing revenues, compared to 66.5%, 21.9% and 11.6% for products, services and leasing in 2022, 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. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 74.9% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2023 and 66.2% in 2022. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 25.1% of theCo mpany’s total revenues in 2023 and 33.8% in 2022. Revenue is based on the location where services are provided and products are sold. Product contracts are negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not 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 of over time contracts, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred due to 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 2023, there were 75 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 25.5% of the Company’s total revenues and 40.0% of the Company’s product revenues. 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. 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. Thepr incipal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is influenced by thepr oduct 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. 40 Restructuring and Other Charges. Restructuring and Other Charges consist of costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. The restructuring charges incurred during the current year primarily consist of office moves, site cleanup, preparation costs, severance, consulting and legal fees. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reassessed the reasonability of a restructuring liability related to its Well Construction business. During our assessment certain market exit costs became known and the liability was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a release of approximately $2.3 million, which partially offsets the current year restructuring costs. These charges are reflected as “Restructuring and other charges” in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Acquisition Costs. Acquisition costs consist of expenses related to the acquisition and integration of a business acquired. Change in Fair Valueof Earn-Out Liability. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is remeasured at each reporting period at the estimated fair value based on the inputs on the date of remeasurement. 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 (gains) and losses result from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated. 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 earnings mix by geography and tax jurisdiction, 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 $5.5 million of accrued bonus related to our short-term incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2022, from other accrued liabilities to accrued compensation to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications 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.

Revenues increased by $62.2 million, or approximately 17.2%, to $424.1 million in 2023 from $361.9 million in 2022. Subsea Products revenue increased by approximately $4.0 million, which was primarily driven by Subsea Wellhead and Connector orders in 2023 in the growing international offshore markets, partially offset by lower Subsea Tree demand in the current year. Subsea Service revenue increased by approximately $6.9 million, which was primarily driven by customer specific increases primarily in the US and Brazil. Well Construction revenue increased by approximately $51.3 million, which was primarily driven by the acquisition of Great North in the third quarter which contributed $35.2 million in revenue for the year, as well as large bore liner hanger growth in offshore Brazil, Mexico, and West Africa. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $42.6 million, or 16.0%, to $308.5 million in 2023 from $265.9 million in 2022. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Great North in the third quarter which contributed $20.3 million in cost of sales for the year, as well as large bore liner hanger growth, and higher revenue for subsea services and rework. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 72.7% in 2023 as compared to 73.5% in 2022. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $7.3 million, or 7.8%, to $101.5 million from $94.2 million in 2022. This increase was primarily due to the addition of Great North SG&A expenses of $5.0 million and an increase in costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Great North. Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2023, engineering and product development expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 7.7%, to $12.6 million from $11.7 million in 2022. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 3.0% in 2023 from 3.2% in 2022. The marginal increase in expense was primarily due to increased testing and qualification activities related to specific international customer requirements. Restructuring and Other Charges. For 2023, the Company incurred costs of approximately $3.2 million under the 2021 global strategic plan. The restructuring charges incurred during the current year primarily consist of office moves, site cleanup, preparation costs, severance, consulting and legal fees. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reassessed the reasonability of a restructuring liability related to its Well Construction business. During our assessment certain market exit costs became known and the liability was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a release of approximately $2.3 million, which partially offsets the current year restructuring costs. During 2022, theCo mpany incurred $13.4 million 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 $6.8 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. Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment. For 2023, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment was approximately $8.8 million, primarily related to the sale of our Houston aftermarket facility, forge facility, corporate administrative building, and certain obsolete machinery and equipment and scrap parts. For 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. 42 Acquisition Costs. For 2023, acquisition costs were approximately $6.5 million, which related to the acquisition and integration of Great North in the third quarter of 2023. Change in Fair Value of Earn-Out Liability. For 2023, contingent purchase consideration liabilities related to the acquisition of Great North. The Company remeasured the fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2023, resulting in a reduction of $2.3 million. Foreign Currency Transaction (Gain) Loss. Foreign exchange gain for 2023 was $2.6 million as compared to a gain of $3.8 million for the same period in 2022. Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for 2023 was $12.9 million on an income before taxes of $13.5 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 95.5%. 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 2022 was $6.3 million on a income before taxes of $4.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rateof approximately 134.5%. The change in the effective income tax rate from 2022 to 2023 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 $0.6 million in 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in 2022, 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 theap propriate unit of measure to analyze our performance is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and credits). The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges and credits from these financial measures enables it to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by excluded items. It is our determination that Adjusted EBITDA is a more relevant measure of how the Company reviews its ability to meet commitments and pursue capital projects. Adjusted EBITDA We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as one of the indicators to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure and certain other items, including those that affect the comparability of operating results. This measurement is used in concert with 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 availablefo r 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. 43 The following table reconciles our reported net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the respective periods: Net income (loss) Add: Interest income, net Income tax provision Depreciation and amortization expense Restructuring and other charges Acquisition costs Change in fair value of earn-out liability Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment Foreign currency transaction gain Stock compensation expense Other Adjusted EBITDA (1) Year Ended December 31, 2022 2023 (In thousands) 604 $ (8,188) 12,864 30,324 3,245 6,451 (2,282) (8,754) (2,549) 10,892 3,935 46,542 $ (1,624) (4,249) 6,327 29,421 13,364 - - (20,019) (3,756) 10,363 - 29,827 $ $ (1) Adjusted EBITDA does not measure financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Flows Cash flows provided by (used in) type of activity were as follows: Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash used in financing activities Effect of exchange rate changes on cash activities Decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ $ Year Ended December 31, 2022 2023 $ (In thousands) 7,727 (79,813) (124) (72,210) (1,194) (73,404) $ (36,771) (30,105) (20,890) (87,766) (2,881) (90,647) 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, thefu nding 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 2023 increased by approximately $44.5 million compared to 2022, primarily due to increases resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $45.3 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities during 2023 resulted in a $45.3 million increase in cash as compared to the change in operating assets and liabilities during 2022. The $5.4 million net increase in cash due to changes in trade receivables and unbilled receivables was mainly due to a significant increase in billings both for point in time orders and over-time orders as the rights became unconditional on the contract assets and were transferred to trade receivables. Increases in cash due to changes in prepaids and other assets was $43.3 million, primarily due to an income tax refund payment related to prior year tax returns and a decrease in advances to vendors related to projects accounted for on an over-time basis. Increase in cash due to the changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses was $25.0 million primarily due to timing of accounts payable distributions. These increases were partially offset by a $27.5 million decrease in cash due to changes in inventory levels, as we continually reassess our needs based on backlog trends. Net income increased by $2.2 million to a net income of $0.6 million in 2023 from a net loss of $1.6 million in 2022. The reasons for the increase in net income are set forth in the “Results of Operations” section above. 44 The change in investing cash flows for 2023 resulted in a $79.8 million decrease in cash primarily due to the acquisition of Great North, net of cash acquired of $82.3 million. Capital expenditures by the Company were $32.6 million and $18.9 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2023 included $16.8 million for rental tools to support our developed products, $12.7 million for machinery and equipment related to our global strategic program which includes consolidation of our manufacturing facilities and other expenditures of $3.1 million. 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. 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 onan 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. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans. However, the Company withheld 46,172 shares for restricted stock awards vested in 2023 at an average price of approximately $23.70. 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. 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, 2023, the cash balance in that account was approximately $4.1 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 “Restricted cash” in our consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account areonly 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 12 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 $262.8 million at December 31, 2023 and $240.9 million at December 31, 2022. The backlog at the end of 2023 represents an increase of approximately $21.9 million, or 9.1%, from the end of 2022. We experienced an increase in product bookings during 2023 primarily due to improvement in market conditions, the addition of Great North bookings, and a decrease in cancelations compared to 2022. 45 The following table represents the change in backlog. Beginning Backlog Bookings: Product (1) Service Leasing Cancellation/Revision adjustments Translation adjustments Total Bookings Revenues: Product Service Leasing Total Revenue Ending Backlog (1) $ $ Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 (In thousands) 240,865 $ 295,419 111,180 47,359 (9,401) 1,418 445,975 271,021 105,680 47,359 424,060 262,780 $ 210,119 293,847 84,274 42,033 (27,418) 80 392,816 240,842 79,195 42,033 362,070 240,865 (1) The backlog data shown above includes all bookings as of December 31, 2023, 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 $43.0 million as of December 31, 2023, within “Revenue Recognition,” Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2023 product backlog by December 31, 2024. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2023 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.” Business Segments The Company’s organizational structure is based on product and service lines. The Company operates in three business segments— Subsea Products, Subsea Services, and Well Construction. Our Subsea Products business manufactures highly engineered, field-proven products with awi de array of deepwater drilling equipment and technology that meets the requirements for harsh subsea environments. Our Subsea Services business provides high-level aftermarket support and technical services with field technicians that support the full installation and lifecycle management of regulatory and industry standards, as well as offering industry training programs. Our Well Construction business provides products and services utilized in the construction of the wellbore such as completions, casing hardware and liner hanger systems. The Well Construction business also includes all of Great North’s operations as of the acquisition date. These products and services are used on both land and offshore markets. For information on revenues by business segment, see “Business Segments,” Note 13 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 $2.0 million in 2023 and a transaction loss of $3.0 million in 2022. 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. 46 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 havebe en prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation ofth e 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. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations Policy description The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. For transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangibleas sets acquired in a business combination. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. Judgments and assumptions The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The fair value of property, plant and equipment is estimated using either the market approach or cost approach, depending on the availability of market information, The fair value of customer relationships is estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, the value is derived from cash flow projections for the customer relationships acquired, which includes significant judgments and assumptions relating to baseline revenue and revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. The fair value of trademarks and developed technologies arees timated using the relief from royalty method. The valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. 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 the Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit margin. 47 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 rateba sis 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 futuresa les 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. 48 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, 2022. 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 $20.9 million and a decrease in net income of approximately $1.0 million for 2023. 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. 49 Item 8.

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 thepa rticipation 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 inIn ternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Great North, which was acquired in a business combination on July 31, 2023. Great North represents approximately 11% of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and approximately 8% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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. 51 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 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, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. respects, effective internal control over the Company maintained, in all material financial 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 theCo mpany'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. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Great North from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2023. We have also excluded Great North from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Great North is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 11% and 8%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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. 52 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 matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate 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 matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Reserve for Slow Moving, Excess and Obsolete Inventory As described in Note 2 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 inventory balance was $194.6 million as of December 31, 2023, which was reduced by a reserve for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory of $66.2 million. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the reserve for slow moving, excess, and obsolete inventory is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the reserve and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to stocking levels, historical sales levels, and future sales forecasts impacting the determination of the reserve percentages. 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 reserve for slow moving, excess, and obsolete inventory, including controls over significant assumptions and data utilized. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the reserve; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the analysis performed by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the analysis; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to stocking levels, historical sales levels, and future sales forecasts. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to stocking levels, historical sales levels, and future sales forecasts involved considering (i) the consumption and use of inventory in previous periods; (ii) changes in market conditions; (iii) current backlog levels; and (iv) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Acquisition of Great North – Valuation of Customer Relationships As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 31, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Great North for total consideration of $87.7 million. Of the $22.3 million of acquired intangible assets recorded, $14.7 million related to customer relationships. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated by management using a multi-period excess earnings method. Management’s cash flow projections for the customer relationships acquired included significant judgments and assumptions relating to baseline revenue and revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of Great North is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to baseline revenues, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. 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 the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method used by management; (iv) testing 53 the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to baseline revenues, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to baseline revenues, EBITDA margins, and customer attrition rate involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the Great North business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate assumptions. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Houston, Texas February 27, 2024 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014. 54 DRIL-QUIP, INC.

Organization Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Dril-Quip”), is a leading developer of innovative technologies for the energy industry, designing and manufacturing best-in-class products for traditional oil and gas, and certain energy transition applications. The Company designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered drilling and production equipment for both offshore and onshore applications. TheCo mpany’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, specialty connectors and associated pipes, subsea production systems, mudline hanger systems, production riser systems, dry tree systems, subsea manifolds, line hangers and expandable liner systems, multi-frac well connections, conventional wellhead, thermal wellhead, completion packers and safety and kelly 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. On July 31, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of 1185641 B.C. LTD (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac, “Great North”) for a purchase price of $105 million CAD, approximately $79.8 million. The purchase price is subject to customary purchase price adjustments and includes potential earnout payments of up to $30 million CAD, approximately $22.8 million, to be paid over the course of 2024 and 2025 if Great North Wellhead and its subsidiaries meet specific revenue growth targets. For information with respect to this item, see “Business Acquisitions,” Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, theCo mpany reorganized its structure in order to streamline operations and leadership around more focused and integrated product and service lines to align with its business strategy. To reflect the Company’s new organizational structure, the Company changed presentation of its segments in 2023 into the following three reportable business segments: Subsea Products, SubseaSe rvices, and Well Construction. Segment operating results for the prior year comparative period have been restated to reflect this change. Previously, the Company’s operations were organized into three geographic segments. Our Subsea Products business manufactures highly engineered, field-proven products with a wide array of deepwater drilling equipment and technology that meets the requirements forha rsh subsea environments. Our Subsea Services business provides high-level aftermarket support and technical services with field technicians that support the full installation and lifecycle management of regulatory and industry standards, as well as offering industry training programs. Our Well Construction business provides products and services utilized in the construction of the wellbore such as completions, casing hardware and liner hanger systems. The Well Construction business also includes all of Great North’s operations as of the acquisition date. These products and services are used on both land and offshore markets. Additionally, Corporate includes the expenses and assets of the Company’s corporate office functions, legal and other administrative expenses that arema naged at a consolidated level. For information with respect to our segments, see “Business Segments,” Note 13 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For a listing of all of Dril-Quip’s subsidiaries, please see Exhibit 21.1 to this report. Revision to Previously Reported Financial Information In conjunction with our close process for the second quarter of 2023, we identified accounting errors related to an indemnification receivable and duplicate billing errors impacting prior periods. In the third quarter of 2022, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations of an Uncertain Tax Position (“UTP”), we released the liability for this UTP, but failed to write-off the related indemnification receivable previously obtained from the seller of an acquired business, resulting in an overstatement of operating income during the period. In addition, the Company identified billing errors in 2022 and 2021 that resulted in an overstatement of revenue and trade receivables. We have assessed these errors, individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim period. However, the aggregate amount of the prior period errors would have been material to our current consolidated statements of income and to our anticipated full year results and therefore, we have revised our previously issued financial information. For more details, see “Revision to Previously Reported Financial Information,” Note 5 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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. 60 Reclassifications We reclassified approximately $5.5 million of accrued bonus related to our short-term incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2022, from other accrued liabilities to accrued compensation to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications to the prior period were 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 as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Some of the Company’s more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition and asset recoverability tests and inventories. Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-term investments that have ama turity 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. The Company’s ABL Credit Facility, dated February 23, 2018, as amended, was terminated effective February 22, 2022. 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, 2023, thecas h balance in that account was approximately $4.1 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 “Restricted cash” in our consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account are only allowed at such point a given letter of credit has expired or has been cancelled. 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. Trade receivables has been reduced by $6.5 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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. 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. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve forsl ow moving, excess and obsolete inventories of $66.2 million and $75.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required. 61 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. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. For transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The fair value of property, plant and equipment is estimated using either the market approach or cost approach, depending on the availability of market information, The fair value of customer relationships is estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, the value is derived from cash flow projections for the customer relationships acquired, which includes significant judgments and assumptions relating to baseline revenue and revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. The fair value of trademarks and developed technologies are estimated using the relief from royalty method. The valuation of an acquired business is based on available information at the acquisition date and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, a change in facts and circumstances as of the acquisition date can result in subsequent adjustments during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 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 judgments 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. 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. A qualitative assessment was performed in 2023 and it was determined that a quantitative assessment was not necessary. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. 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 Tax 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. 62 Revenue Recognition Product Revenues The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods: • • product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in time. Revenues Recognized Under the Over Time Method The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics: • • • • • the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications; the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration; the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and The Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit margin. For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project. Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in unbilled receivables. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, unbilled receivables included $90.2 million and $92.6 million of unbilled receivables related to products accounted for using the over time method of accounting, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were 75 projects representing approximately 25.5% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 40.0% of its product revenues, and 79 projects during 2022 representing approximately 34.7% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 52.1% 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 63 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 servicere venues 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 rateba sis 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 $2.0 million in 2023, a transaction gain of $3.0 million in 2022 and a transaction loss of $0.7 million in 2021. 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. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance provides the definition of fair value, describes the method used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and outlines fair value disclosure requirements. The fair value hierarchy established under this guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • • • Level 1 - Quoted prices are availablein active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted prices, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. 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. 64 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 theinte rest earned on short-term investments. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method. 3. Business Acquisitions On July 31, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of 1185641 B.C. LTD (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac, “Great North”) for a purchase price of $105 million CAD, approximately $79.8 million, which is subject to customary adjustments for cash and working capital. The acquisition of Great North allows Dril-Quip to service its clients with Great North’s products. The acquired business contributed revenues of $35.2 million and earnings of $2.7 million to Dril-Quip for the period from August 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of Dril-Quip as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022. Revenues Net income (loss) Pro forma twelve months ended December 31, 2023 2022 (In thousands) (unaudited) 478,874 9,535 $ $ 449,099 835 $ $ These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying Dril-Quip’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Great North to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2022, with the consequential tax effects. Dril-Quip incurred $6.5 million of acquisition-related costs for the year ended December 31, 2023. These expenses are included in “Acquisition costs” in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the respective periods and are reflected in the pro forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022, in the table above. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Great North: Fair value of consideration transferred: (In thousands) Cash Contingent consideration Total $ $ 84,097 3,571 87,668 The acquisition of Great North includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by Dril-Quip to the sellers of Great North based on the future revenues of Great North for FY 2024 and 2025. The range of the undiscounted amounts Dril-Quip could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $30 million CAD, approximately $22.8 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was $3.6 million. The Company will be required to remeasure this liability to fair value quarterly with any changes in the fair value recorded in income until the final payment is made. TheCo mpany remeasured the fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2023, resulting in a reduction of $2.3 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying a Monte-Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs. For information with respect to our fair value measurements, see “Fair Value Measurements,” Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The contingent consideration is included in other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2023. 65 The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation, which was based on fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, July 31, 2023: Preliminary amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed: (In thousands) Cash Accounts receivable Prepaid expenses and other current assets Inventory Property, plant and equipment Right of use assets Intangible assets (1) Total assets acquired Accounts payable Accrued expenses Deferred revenue Lease liability, long-term Deferred taxes Total liabilities assumed Net identifiable assets acquired Goodwill Net assets acquired $ $ $ $ $ 1,810 16,499 609 16,068 29,338 11,115 22,263 97,702 7,034 3,522 47 11,115 5,075 26,793 70,909 16,759 87,668 (1) Includes $4.0 million of trademarks with a weighted average useful life of 10 years, $3.6 million of patents with a weighted average useful life of 15 years, and $14.7 million of customer relationships with a weighted average useful life of 10 years. See “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” Note 11 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding intangible assets. Acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible identifiable net assets resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $16.8 million, all of which is included in long-lived assets in the Well Construction business segment and is attributable to expected synergies from combining operations as well as intangible assets which do not qualify for separate recognition. This goodwill is not tax deductible. The goodwill was determined on the basis of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. It may be adjusted if the provisional fair values change as a result of circumstances existing at the acquisition date. Such fair value adjustments may arise in respect to intangibleas sets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, upon completion of the necessary valuations and physical verifications of such assets. The amount of deferred taxes may also be adjusted during the measurement period. 4. Fair Value Measurements As of December31, 2023 , the Company’s Level 3 instruments consist of contingent purchase consideration liabilities related to the acquisition of Great North (Note 3). The fair value of such earn-out liabilities is generally determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation that includes significant inputs that are not observable. Significant inputs include management's estimate of revenue and other market inputs, including expected revenuevolatility (6.7%) and a revenue discount rate (8.4%). The fair value of certain earn-out liabilities is derived using the estimated probability of success of achieving the earn-out periods discounted to present value. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is remeasured at each reporting period at the estimated fair value based on the inputs on the date of remeasurement, with the change in fair value recognized in “Change in fair value of earn-out liability” on the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s contingent consideration measured at fair value for the periods presented are as follows (in thousands): Liability: Contingent consideration (1) Total liabilities Total December 31, 2023 Level 2 Level 1 Level 3 Total December 31, 2022 Level 2 Level 1 Level 3 $ 1,208 $ 1,208 $ - - $ - - $ 1,208 $ 1,208 $ $ - - $ - - $ - - $ - - (1) As of December 31, 2023, contingent consideration includes certain amounts in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 66 The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the Company’s earn-out liabilities associated with the Company’s acquisition measured at fair value for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 (in thousands): Beginning period balance Additions to contingent consideration Payments of contingent consideration Fair value adjustment of earn-out liabilities Currency translation adjustment Ending period balance 5.

In addition, the Company identified billing errors in 2022 and 2021 that resulted in an overstatement of revenue and trade receivables.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no assets held for sale. 9. 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 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 2023, the Company incurred $3.2 million of additional costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. The restructuring charges incurred during the current year primarily consist of office moves, site cleanup, preparation costs, severance, consulting and legal fees. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company reassessed the reasonability of a restructuring liability related to its Well Construction business. During our assessment certain market exit costs became known and the liability was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a release of approximately $2.3 million, which partially offsets the current year restructuring costs. Severance charges totaled approximately $0.4 million for the year. During 2022, the Company incurred $13.4 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. Severance charges related to restructuring plan totaled approximately $0.9 million for the year. Other charges totaled $6.8 million and consisted of consulting and legal fees, office moves, site cleanup and preparation costs. 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.

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, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $1.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. 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.

Business Segments Operating segments are defined in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, theCo mpany reorganized its structure in order to streamline operations and leadership around more focused and integrated product and service lines to align with its business strategy. To reflect the Company’s new organizational structure, the Company changed presentation of its segments in 2023 into the following three reportable business segments: Subsea Products, Subsea Services, and Well Construction. Segment operating results for the prior year comparative period have been restated to reflect this change. Previously, the Company’s operations were organized into three geographic segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Subsea Products. The Company’s Subsea Products segment designs, manufactures and sells a variety of products including subsea wellheads, connectors and surface equipment, and subsea production systems. Subsea Services. The Company’s Subsea Services segment delivers a variety of technical services including subsea rental services, subsea rework services and subsea services shared support.

The Company has $8.0 million of general business credits which expire in tax years ending 2037 - 2043. Tax operating loss carryforwards totaled $140.0 million (gross) at December 31, 2023. These operating losses will expire as shown in the table below. Tax operating losses (in thousands) 2,411 - 1,811 718 135,053 139,993 $ $ Expiration 2023 - 2028 2029 - 2034 2035 - 2040 2041 - 2046 Indefinite The United States gross loss carryforwards of approximately $135.5 million, includes $134.4 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, 2023 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2023 of $60.9 million against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions. 77 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. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has received $15.8 million in NOL carryback claims and $5.2 million in transition tax payment refund. Except with respect to our operations in Canada, the Company no longer asserts the indefinite reinvestment assertion. We maintain a deferred foreign tax liability, which had a balance of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2023. It is primarily related to estimated foreign withholding tax associated with repatriating non-U.S. earnings back to the United States. The indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to Canada pertains to earnings of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2023. 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 recently enacted Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) rules (“GloBE Rules”) is a “top-up tax” that applies to the excess profits calculated on a jurisdictional basis. Based upon the applicable thresholds of the GloBE Rules, we do not anticipate being subject to the tax but will continue to monitor developments. 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 $0.3 million at December 31, 2023 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, 2017 through December 31, 2023. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions is as follows: Balance at beginning of year Additions for tax positions related to the current year Reductions for tax positions related to the prior year Balance at end of year $ $ 2023 2022 (In thousands) 2021 631 $ 18,618 $ 18,665 192 (550) 273 $ 482 (18,469) 631 $ 3 (50) 18,618 The amounts above exclude accrued interest and penalties of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 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, 2023, primarily due to the progression of any audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation. However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate ara nge of potential changes in its existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits due to various uncertainties, such as theunre solved nature of any possible audits. As of December 31, 2023, if recognized, $0.3 million of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company received net income tax refund of $13.7 million in 2023, paid net income taxes of $1.3 million and net income taxes of $2.0 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. 78 15. Other Accrued Liabilities Current other accrued liabilities consist of the following: December 31, 2023 2022 Accrued vendor costs Property, sales and other taxes Commissions payable Payroll taxes Accrued restructuring costs Accrued severance Accrued insurance Other Total $ $ $ (In thousands) 5,553 9,336 319 1,951 630 - 1,062 3,478 22,329 $ 4,357 4,341 1,289 2,521 2,812 990 - 2,988 19,298 16. 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 $3.3 million, $2.8 million and $1.0 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 17. Contingencies 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. On August 10, 2023, the First District of Texas Court of Appeals rendered a judgment that affirmed the judgment of the 127th District Court of Harris County in favor of the Company. FMC filed a petition for review with the Texas SupremeCo urt on November 27, 2023. 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 has not resulted in any significant problems for the Company in the past, ongoing exposure to these risks and future developments could adversely impact theCo mpany 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. 18. Stock Repurchase Plan 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. 79 For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans. However, the Company withheld 46,172 shares for restricted stock awards vested in 2023 at an average price of approximately $23.70. 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 and has retired such shares. 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 and has retired such shares. 19. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards On May 12, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “2017 Plan”), which reserved up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock to be used for awards under the 2017 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 2017 Plan are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors. On May 12, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to add 1,900,000 shares of common stock to be used for awards under the 2017 Plan. Restricted Stock Awards On October 28, 2023 and 2022 and 2021, 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. The Company’s RSA activity and related information is presented below: Unvested at December 31, 2022 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested at December 31, 2023 Weighted- average Grant Date Fair Value 23.34 22.93 23.42 23.92 23.04 Restricted Stock 579,804 $ 330,696 (250,176) (50,493) 609,831 $ RSA compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 totaled $6.1 million, $6.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively. For 2023, 2022 and 2021, the income tax benefit recognized in net income for RSAs was $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was $13.3 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, 2023. Performance Unit Awards On October 28, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 $24.80 for the 2023 grants, $29.38 for the 2022 grants, and $29.88 for the 2021 grants, approximately 108.9%, 126.2%, and 126.9%, 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 was replaced by the VanEck Oil Services ETF Index. 80 The TSR is calculated over a three -year period from October 1, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 to September 30, 2026 and 2025, and 2024, respectively, and assumes reinvestment of dividends for companies within the index that pay dividends, which Dril-Quip does not. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation are as follows: Grant date Performance period Volatility Risk-free interest rate Grant date price 2023 October 28, 2023 October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026 49.0% 4.9% 2022 October 28, 2022 October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025 57.3% 4.4% 2021 October 28, 2021 October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024 56.1% 0.8% $ 22.78 $ 23.28 $ 23.54 The Company’s Performance Unit activity and related information is presented below: Unvested balance at December 31, 2022 Granted Forfeited Unvested balance at December 31, 2023 Number of Performance Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit 331,820 147,053 (72,292) 406,581 $ $ 29.06 24.80 32.05 26.99 Performance Unit compensation expense was $3.5 million, $2.9 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Thein come tax benefit recognized in net income for Performance Units was zero for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and $0.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2023, there was $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expensere lated to unvested Performance Units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. There were no anti-dilutive Performance Units at December 31, 2023. 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 anam ount 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 January 1 of the second year after the grant date. The Company’s DSA activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented below: Unvested balance at December 31, 2022 Granted Vested Unvested balance at December 31, 2023 Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share DSA Number of Shares 71,935 56,816 (50,877) 77,874 $ $ 24.85 24.14 25.24 24.08 Director stock compensation awards expense was $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. For 2023, 2022, and 2021, the income tax benefit recognized in net income for DSAs was $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. There was $1.1 million ofun recognized compensation expense related to unvested DSAs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year. There were no anti-dilutive DSA shares on December 31, 2023. 81 Equity Compensation Plan Information The following table summarizes information for equity compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2023: Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (1) (a) Weighted- average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (2) (b) Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plan (c) 406,581 406,581 $ $ 26.99 26.99 634,997 634,997 Plan category Equity compensation plans approved by stockholders Total (1) Excludes 687,705 shares of unvested RSAs and DSAs, which were granted pursuant to the 2017 Plan.

Controls and Procedures In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company’s evaluation on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 excludes the disclosure controls and procedures of Great North, which was acquired in a business combination on July 31, 2023. Great North represents approximately 11% of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and approximately 8% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” appears on page 52 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
