Our product offering includes a mix of highly engineered capital products and frequently replaced items that are used in theexploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas. Our capital products are targeted at: drilling rig equipment fornew rigs, upgrades and refurbishment projects; subsea construction and development projects; the placement of production equipment onnew producing wells; and downstream capital projects. Our engineered systems are critical components used on drilling rigs or in the courseof subsea operations, while our consumable products are used to maintain efficient and safe operations at well sites in the well constructionprocess, within the supporting infrastructure and at processing centers and refineries. Historically, a little more than half of our revenue isderived from activity-based consumable products, while the balance is derived from capital products and a small amount from rental andother services.We seek to design, manufacture and supply reliable products that create value for our diverse customer base, which includes, among others,oil and gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, well stimulation and intervention service providers, subsea construction andservice companies and pipeline and refinery operators.We operate two business segments, Drilling & Subsea and Production & Infrastructure. The table below provides a summary of proportionalrevenue contributions from our two business segments and our primary geographic markets over the last three years: Percentage of revenue Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011Drilling & Subsea62% 58% 58%Production & Infrastructure38% 42% 42% Total100% 100% 100% United States60% 63% 63%Canada6% 8% 9%Other International34% 29% 28% Total100% 100% 100%We incorporate by reference in response to this item the segment and geographic information for the last three years set forth in"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of operations" in Item 7 of this AnnualReport on Form 10-K and Note 15 of the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.We also incorporate by reference in response to this item the information with respect to acquisitions set forth in "Management's Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Acquisitions" in Item 7 and in Note 3 of our Notes to consolidated financialstatements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.3Table of Contents Drilling & Subsea segmentIn our Drilling & Subsea segment, we design and manufacture products and provide related services to the subsea construction, drilling, wellconstruction, completion and intervention markets. Through this segment, we offer subsea technologies, including robotic vehicles and othercapital equipment, specialty components and tooling, a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rental items, and appliedproducts for subsea pipelines; drilling technologies, including capital equipment and a broad line of products consumed in the drilling andwell intervention process; and downhole technologies, including cementing and casing tools, completion products, and a range of downholeprotection solutions.There are several factors driving demand for our Drilling & Subsea segment. Demand for our subsea products is impacted by global offshoreactivity, subsea construction spending, and growth in deepwater resource development. Meanwhile, our Drilling Technologies product line isinfluenced by global drilling, workover and intervention activity, the level of capital investment in drilling rigs, rig upgrades and equipmentreplacement as drilling contractors modify their existing rigs to improve efficiency and safety, and the severity of the conditions under whichthe rigs and well service equipment operate. In addition, our Downhole Technologies product line is impacted by the level of well completionactivity and complexity of well construction and completion.Subsea Technologies. We design and manufacture subsea capital equipment and specialty components, as well as applied products forsubsea pipelines, and provide a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rental items. We have a core focus on thedesign and manufacture of remotely operated vehicle ("ROV") systems and other specialty subsea vehicles, as well as critical components ofthese vehicles. Many of our related technical services complement our vehicle offerings. We operate primarily from facilities in Houston,Texas; Kirkbymoorside and Great Yarmouth, England; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore and Brazil.Subsea vehicles. We are a leading designer and manufacturer of a wide range of ROVs to the offshore subsea construction, observation andrelated service markets. The market for subsea ROVs can be segmented into three broad classes of vehicles based on size and category ofoperations: (1) large work-class vehicles for subsea construction activities, (2) drilling-class vehicles deployed from and for use around anoffshore rig and (3) observation-class vehicles for inspection and light manipulation. We are a leading provider of work-class and observation-class vehicles.We design and manufacture large work-class ROVs through our Perry brand. These vehicles are principally used in deepwater constructionapplications with the largest vehicles providing up to 200 horsepower, exceeding 1,200 pounds of payload capacity and having the capability ofworking in depths up to 4,000 meters. Our Sub-Atlantic branded observation-class vehicles are electrically powered and are principally usedfor inspection, survey, and light manipulation and serve a wide range of industries. In addition to observation and work-class ROVs, wedesign and manufacture specialty vehicles that are primarily used in subsea trenching operations. Larger than a work-class or observation-class ROV, these vehicles travel along the sea floor conducting digging, installation and burial operations. Providing up to 1,500 horsepower,the largest of these subsea trenchers are able to cut over three meters deep into the seafloor to lay pipelines, power cables orcommunications cables.Our subsea vehicle customers are primarily large offshore construction companies, but also include non-oil and gas industry entities, suchas a range of governmental organizations including navies, maritime science and geosciences research organizations, offshore wind powercompanies and other industries operating in marine environments.Subsea products. In addition to subsea vehicles, we are a leading manufacturer of subsea products and components. We design andmanufacture a group of products that are used in and around the ROV. For example, we manufacture Dynacon™ branded ROV launch andrecovery systems, Syntech™ branded syntactic foam buoyancy components, Sub-Atlantic branded ROV thrusters, and a wide range ofhydraulic power units and valve packs. We design and manufacture these ROV components for incorporation into our own vehicles as wellas for sale to other ROV manufacturers. We also provide a broad suite of subsea tooling, both industry standard and custom designed.In addition to vehicle-related subsea products, we provide products used in subsea infrastructure. Through our acquisition of Moffat 2000 Ltd.,we manufacture subsea pipeline inspection gauge launching and receiving systems, and subsea connectors. Our primary customers in thisproduct line are offshore pipeline construction companies.Subsea technical services and rental. We maintain a fleet of subsea rental items, primarily subsea positioning equipment, and provide ourcustomers with complementary subsea technical services. Among the technical services we offer is the provisioning of ROV pilots and otheroffshore personnel on a contract basis for those customers who need to supplement their own employees. Our customers for rental itemsand personnel are primarily subsea construction and offshore service companies. In addition, we offer a system that offers a completesolution for digital4Table of Contents video capture, playback, processing and reporting of subsea inspection survey data. We also maintain a geophysical and geotechnicalengineering group that provides consulting services to the oil and gas, and marine industries, typically to interpret and analyze third partysubsea data provided by clients.Drilling Technologies. We provide both drilling consumables and capital equipment, with a focus on products that enhance our customers'handling of tubulars on the drilling rig. Our product offering includes powered and manual tubular handling equipment; specialized torqueequipment; customized offline crane systems; drilling data acquisition management systems; pumps, pump parts, valves, and manifolds;drilling, well servicing and hydraulic fracturing fluid end components; pressure control equipment for both coiled tubing and wireline wellintervention operations and a broad line of items consumed in the drilling process.Tubular handling. Our core focus in Drilling Technologies is in powered and manual tubular handling equipment used on onshore andoffshore drilling rigs. We expanded our offering of products, geographic coverage and customer base in this area through our recentacquisition of Blohm + Voss Oil Tools GmbH ("B+V"). Our B+V and Wrangler™ branded systems reduce direct human involvement in thehandling of pipe during drilling operations, improving the safety, speed and efficiency of operations. In addition, we manufacture make-up andbreak-out tools, called B+V Floorhand™ and Wrangler Roughneck™, which automate a potentially dangerous rig floor task and improve rigdrilling speed and safety.We design and manufacture specialized torque equipment and related control systems for tubular connections, including high torquestroking, or bucking, units, fully rotational torque units, portable torque units for field deployment, and provide aftermarket service. Inaddition, we design and manufacture a range of rig-based offline activity cranes, multi-purpose cranes and personnel transfer solutions.Many of these cranes are fit-for-purpose multi-axis cranes that provide access to hard-to-reach places and eliminate the need for manualinterface.Flow control and intervention. We manufacture flow control and pressure control equipment for the drilling, well servicing, pressure pumpingand hydraulic fracturing markets.Many of our flow control products are consumable items used on drilling rigs, well servicing rigs, pressure pumping units, and hydraulicfracturing systems. Examples of these products include valves, centrifugal pumps, mud pump parts, rig sensors, and inserts and dies, aswell as an extensive handling tool line.Our pressure control products are used for well intervention operations and are sold directly to oilfield service companies and equipmentrental companies. These products include both coiled tubing and wireline blowout preventers and their accessories. We also conductaftermarket refurbishment and recertification services for pressure control equipment.We also manufacture data acquisition products that include integrated drill floor instrumentation and monitoring systems. These systemsprovide real-time monitoring and logging of drilling data to drilling contractors and oil and gas producers on the rig and at remote locations.They measure, collect, store and display drilling data on a real-time basis, as required on all drilling rigs in today's drilling environment.We are also a large supplier of oilfield bearings to original equipment manufacturers and repair businesses for use on drilling and wellstimulation equipment. In addition to designing and manufacturing capital products and providing consumable products, we repair andservice drilling equipment for both land and offshore rigs. Many of our service employees work in the field to address problems at the rig site.Downhole Technologies. We manufacture a broad line of downhole products that are consumed during the well construction, completionand production enhancement process.Casing and cementing tools. Through our Davis-Lynch™ branded downhole well construction and completion tools product line, we designand manufacture products used in the construction of oil and gas wells. We design and manufacture a full range of centralizers, floatequipment, stage cementing tools, inflatable packers, flotation collars, cementing plugs, fill and circulation tools for running casing, casinghangers and surge reduction equipment. Our products are used in the construction of onshore and offshore wells.5Table of Contents Completion products. We manufacture a line of downhole completion tools, including composite plugs and wireline flow-control products.Our composite plugs are primarily used for zonal isolation during multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in horizontal and vertical wells. Thecomposite construction with metal slips allows the plugs to be drilled out quickly to improve service efficiency. We offer a variety of plug sizesto fit various casings as well as a range of temperature and pressure ratings to accommodate different well environments. Our wireline flow-control products include a number of components included in most completions such as landing nipples, circulating sleeves, blanking plugsand separation tools.Downhole protection systems. We offer a full range of downhole protection solutions through our Cannon Services™ brand. The clamp andprotection system is used to shield downhole control lines, cables and gauges during installation and to provide protection during productionenhancement operations. We design and manufacture a full range of downhole protection solutions for electrical submersible pump ("ESP")cabling, encapsulated control lines, sub-surface safety valves ("SSSV") and permanent downhole gauges, including gauges used inintelligent wells and the steam-assisted gravity drainage ("SAGD") wells of the Canadian heavy oil developments. We provide both standardand customized protection systems, and we supply a range of materials for various downhole environments.Our primary customers in this product line are producers and service companies providing completion, ESP and other intervention servicesto oil and gas producers.Production & Infrastructure segmentIn our Production & Infrastructure segment, we design and manufacture products and provide related equipment and services to the wellstimulation, completion, production and infrastructure markets. Through this segment, we supply flow equipment, including wellstimulation consumable products and related recertification and refurbishment services; production equipment, including well site productionequipment and process equipment; and valve solutions, which includes a broad range of industrial and process valves.The level of spending on completion of new wells and related infrastructure is the primary driver for our Production & Infrastructure segment.In addition, the use of hydraulic fracturing to develop oil and gas reserves in shale or tight sands basins across North America has asignificant impact on our Flow Equipment product line. Our Production Equipment product line also has exposure to the amount of spendingon midstream and downstream projects as it offers products that go from the well site to inside the refinery fence. Our Valve Solutionsproduct line is impacted by the level of infrastructure additions, upgrades and maintenance activities across the oil and gas industry, includingthe upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. This includes heavy oil development in Canada and investments in new petrochemicalfacilities. In addition, our valves are used in the process and mining industries.Flow Equipment. We provide a broad range of high pressure flow equipment used by well stimulation, or pressure pumping, companiesduring the stimulation, intervention and flowback process. Our focus is on consumable products that experience high rates of wear andreplacement. We design and manufacture pressure control plug, choke and relief valves, swivel joints, pup joints and integral fittings,manifolds and manifold trailers, as well as triplex and quintuplex fluid-end assemblies. Frequent refurbishment and recertification of flowequipment is critical to ensuring the reliable and safe operation of a pressure pumping company's fleet. We perform these services at oureight locations and operate a fleet of mobile refurbishment and recertification tractor trailers, which can deploy to the customer's yard. Weserve many of the unconventional basins across North America and seek to position our stocking and service locations in proximity to ourcustomers' operations. Our primary customers in the Flow Equipment product line are pressure pumping and flowback service companies,although we also generate sales to original equipment manufacturers of pressure pumping units.In 2013, we acquired Global Tubing, LLC ("Global Tubing") jointly with an equal partner, with management retaining a small interest.Global Tubing is a manufacturer of coiled tubing strings and related services. Global Tubing® coiled tubing strings are consumablecomponents of coiled tubing units that perform well completion and intervention activities. Our investment in Global Tubing is reported in theProduction & Infrastructure segment using the equity method of accounting.Production Equipment. Our surface Production Equipment product line provides engineered process systems and field services for capitalequipment used at the wellsite, for production processing, and at the refinery. We serve the upstream, midstream and downstreamsegments in oil and gas production equipment and services. Once a well has been drilled, completed and brought on stream, we provide thewell operator-producer with the process equipment necessary to make the oil or gas ready for transmission. We also provide desalination anddehydration equipment. We engineer, fabricate and install tanks, separators, packaged production systems and American Society ofMechanical Engineers ("ASME") and American Petroleum Institute ("API") coded and non-coded pressure vessels, skidded vessels6Table of Contents with gas measurement, modular process plants, header and manifold skids, process and flow control equipment and separators to helpclean and process oil or gas as it travels from the wellhead and along the transmission line to the refinery. Our customers are principally oiland gas operators/producers, and our manufacturing and staging locations are positioned across North America to best serve the keyemerging shale and unconventional resource plays.A key to our competiveness is manufacturing tanks and pressure vessels in relatively close proximity to their location of use to reduce freightcosts, as well as helping our customers manage their production equipment needs as their drilling programs progress. We have six NorthAmerican manufacturing locations and two service centers. To ensure smooth delivery of equipment, we maintain a fleet of specializedtrucks and crews that can deliver and install the production equipment on the well site.Valve Solutions. We design, manufacture and provide a wide range of industrial valves that principally serve the upstream, midstream anddownstream markets of the oil and gas industry. To a lesser extent, our valves serve general industrial, power and process industrycustomers as well as the mining industry. We provide ball, gate, globe, check and butterfly valves across a range of sizes and applications.We market our valves to our customers and end users through our four recognized brands: PBV™, DSI®, Quadrant® and ABZ™. Much ofour production is sold through distribution supply companies, with our marketing efforts targeting end users for pull through of our products.Our global sales force and representatives cover approximately 30 countries, with local sales and distribution in Australia, Brazil, Canadaand South Africa. Our Canadian company provides significant exposure to the heavy oil projects, while our South African affiliate serveschemical, petrochemical and refining customers.Our manufacturing and supply chain systems enable us to design and produce high-quality engineered valves, as well as providestandardized products, while maintaining competitive pricing and minimizing capital requirements. We manufacture and warehouse ourengineered PBV ball valves at our 200,000 square foot valve manufacturing facility in Stafford, Texas and our 250,000 square foot warehousein Houston, Texas, which is also utilized by our other product lines. We also utilize our international manufacturing partners to producecomponents and completed products for a number of our other valve brands.Depending on the product, we manufacture our valves to conform to the standards of one or more of the API, American National StandardsInstitute, American Bureau of Shipping, and International Organization for Standardization and/or other relevant standards governing thedesign and manufacture of industrial valves. Through our Valve Solutions product line, we participate in the API's standard-setting process.Business historyForum was formed through a series of acquisitions. Between May 2005 and August 2007, SCF Partners ("SCF"), a private equity firmspecializing in investments in the oilfield services sector since it was founded in 1989, acquired various entities to form each of the following:Forum Oilfield Technologies, Inc. ("FOT"), a capital equipment provider focused on the drilling sector; Global Flow Technologies, Inc.("Global Flow"), a manufacturer of industrial valves; Triton Group Holdings, LLC ("Triton"), a provider of products and services to theinternational offshore oil and gas industry; Allied Production Services, Inc. ("Allied"), a provider of production equipment associated withunconventional gas and liquids developments in North America; and Subsea Services International, Inc. ("Subsea"), a provider of subseapipeline infield joint coatings and other applied products. In August 2010, FOT, Global Flow, Triton, Allied and Subsea were combined in atransaction we refer to as the "Combination." FOT became the parent company and was renamed Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.On April 17, 2012, we completed our IPO.BacklogAs we provide a mix of capital goods, consumable products, repair parts, and rental services, a majority of our business does not requirelengthy lead times. We therefore believe that the size of our backlog is mostly representative of the activity level of our capital equipmentrelated businesses. A majority of the orders and commitments included in our backlog as of December 31, 2013 were scheduled to bedelivered within six months. Our backlog was approximately $395 million at December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $399 million atDecember 31, 2012.We can give no assurance that our level of backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of our products are affected by prices for oil and naturalgas, which may fluctuate significantly. Additional future declines in oil and natural gas prices and production or additional regulatoryprovisions could reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in7Table of Contents our future backlog levels. Substantially all of our projects currently included in our backlog are subject to change and/or termination at theoption of the customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay us for work performed and other costsnecessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination. In the past, terminations and cancellations have not been material to our overalloperating results.Our consumable and repair products are predominantly off-the-shelf items requiring short lead-times, generally less than six months, andour related refurbishment or other services are also not contracted with significant lead time. The composition of our backlog is reflective ofour mix of capital equipment, consumable products, aftermarket and other related items. Given this product mix in our backlog, we believethat an appropriate measure of our business’ ongoing activity is the level of bookings, which consist of written orders or commitments for ourproducts or related services. Our bookings levels during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1.5 billion and$1.4 billion, respectively.CustomersNo customer represented more than 10% of consolidated revenue in any of the last three years.SeasonalityA substantial portion of our business is not significantly impacted by seasonality. Generally, the fourth quarter experiences lower sales andprofitability due to a decrease in working days caused by the U.S. Thanksgiving and calendar year-end holidays. A small portion of therevenue we generate from selected Canadian operations often benefits from higher first quarter activity levels, as operators take advantage ofthe winter freeze to gain access to remote drilling and production areas. We also experience some exposure to seasonality through the portionof our subsea rental business that serves the North Sea. It is customary for North Sea activity to slow down between the months ofNovember and February. Revenue exposed to this type of seasonality, however, comprised less than 5% of our overall revenue in 2013.CompetitionThe markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete with a number of companies, some of which have greater financialand other resources than us. The principal competitive factors in our markets are the quality, price and availability of products and servicesand a company's responsiveness to customer needs and reputation for service. We believe our products and services in each segment are atleast comparable in price, quality, performance and dependability with our competitors' offerings. We seek to differentiate ourselves from ourcompetitors by providing a rapid response to the needs of our customers, a high level of customer service, and innovative productdevelopment initiatives. Some of our competitors expend greater amounts of money on formal research and engineering efforts than we do.We believe, however, that our product development efforts are enhanced by the investment of management time we make to improve ourcustomer service and to work with our customers on their specific product needs and challenges.Although we have no single competitor across all of our product lines, the companies we compete with across the greatest number of ourproduct lines include Cameron International Corporation and FMC Technologies, Inc.We have no one direct competitor across all of the products and services within our Drilling & Subsea segment. We hold what we consider tobe market leading positions in several of our core businesses on a global basis, and we generally compete with a small number ofcompetitors. The significant competitors within our Drilling & Subsea segment include Schilling Robotics, a subsidiary of FMC Technologies,Inc., Cameron International Corporation, National Oilwell Varco, Inc. and Weatherford International, Ltd.We have no one direct competitor across all of the products and services within our Production & Infrastructure segment, although CameronInternational Corporation is a significant competitor for many of our products. Other competitors include Exterran Holdings, Inc., FMCTechnologies, Inc. and Weir SPM, a subsidiary of The Weir Group PLC.Patents, trademarks and other intellectual propertyWe currently hold multiple U.S. and international patents and trademarks and have a number of pending patent and trademark applications.Although in the aggregate our patents, trademarks and licenses are important to us, we do not regard any single patent, trademark or licenseas critical or essential to our business as a whole.8Table of Contents Raw materialsWe acquire component parts, products and raw materials from suppliers, including foundries, forge shops, and original equipmentmanufacturers. The prices we pay for our raw materials may be affected by, among other things, energy, steel and other commodity prices,tariffs and duties on imported materials and foreign currency exchange rates. Certain of our component parts, products or raw materials,such as bearings, are only available from a limited number of suppliers. Please see "Risk factors—Risks related to our business—We aresubject to the risk of supplier concentration."We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to purchase raw materials on a timely basis or at acceptable prices. We generally try topurchase our raw materials from multiple suppliers so we are not dependent on any one supplier, but this is not always possible.Working capitalWe fund our business operations through a combination of available cash and equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flow generatedfrom operations. In addition, the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility ("Credit Facility") is available for working capital needs.For a summary of our Credit Facility, please read "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations– Liquidity and capital resources."InventoryAn important consideration for many of our customers in selecting a vendor is timely availability of the product. Often customers will pay apremium for earlier or immediate availability because of the cost of delays in critical operations. We stock our consumable products inregional warehouses around the world so that we can have these products available for our customers when needed. This availability isespecially critical for certain consumable products, causing us to carry substantial inventories for these products. For critical capital items inwhich demand is expected to be strong, we often build certain items before we have a firm order. Our having such goods available on shortnotice can be of great value to our customers.We typically offer our customers payment terms of net 30 days. For sales into certain countries or for select customers, we might requirepayment upfront or credit support through a letter of credit. For longer term projects we typically require progress payments as importantmilestones are reached. On average we collect our receivables in about 60 days from shipment resulting in a substantial investment inaccounts receivable. Likewise, standard terms with our vendors are net 30 days. For critical items sourced from significant vendors we havesettled accounts more quickly, sometimes in exchange for early payment discounts.Environmental, health and safety regulationOur operations are subject to numerous stringent and complex laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into theenvironment, health and safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to human health and environmental protection. Failure tocomply with these laws or regulations or to obtain or comply with permits may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminalpenalties, imposition of remedial or corrective action requirements, and the imposition of injunctions to prohibit certain activities or forcefuture compliance.The trend in environmental regulation has been to impose increasingly stringent restrictions and limitations on activities that may impact theenvironment, and thus, any changes in environmental laws and regulations or in enforcement policies that result in more stringent andcostly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal, or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our operations andfinancial position. Moreover, accidental releases or spills of regulated substances may occur in the course of our operations, and we cannotassure you that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such releases or spills, including any third party claims fordamage to property, natural resources or persons.The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which our businessoperations are subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on our capital expenditures, results of operations orfinancial position.9Table of Contents Hazardous substances and wasteThe Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (the "RCRA") and comparable state statutes, regulate the generation, transportation,treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the Environmental ProtectionAgency (the "EPA"), the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of the RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own,more stringent requirements. We are required to manage the transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes incompliance with the RCRA.The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (the "CERCLA"), also known as the Superfund law,imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible forthe release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site where the releaseoccurred, and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. We currently own, lease, oroperate numerous properties that have been used for manufacturing and other operations for many years. We also contract with wasteremoval services and landfills. These properties and the substances disposed or released on them may be subject to the CERCLA, RCRAand analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove previously disposed substances and wastes, remediatecontaminated property, or perform remedial operations to prevent future contamination. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboringlandowners and other third-parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances releasedinto the environment.Water dischargesThe Federal Water Pollution Control Act (the "Clean Water Act") and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls with respectto the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States. The discharge ofpollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous stateagency. A responsible party includes the owner or operator of a facility from which a discharge occurs. The Clean Water Act and analogousstate laws provide for administrative, civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized discharges and, together with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990,impose rigorous requirements for spill prevention and response planning, as well as substantial potential liability for the costs of removal,remediation, and damages in connection with any unauthorized discharges.Air emissionsThe Federal Clean Air Act (the "Clean Air Act") and comparable state laws regulate emissions of various air pollutants through air emissionspermitting programs and the imposition of other emission control requirements. In addition, the EPA has developed, and continues todevelop, stringent regulations governing emissions of toxic air pollutants at specified sources. Non-compliance with air permits or otherrequirements of the Clean Air Act and associated state laws and regulations can result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminalpenalties, as well as the issuance of orders or injunctions limiting or prohibiting non-compliant operations.Climate changeIn December 2009, the EPA determined that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other "greenhouse gases" present anendangerment to public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to warming ofthe earth's atmosphere and other climatic changes. Based on these findings, the EPA has begun adopting and implementing regulations torestrict emissions of greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act. The EPA adopted two sets of rules regulatinggreenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, one of which requires a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from motorvehicles and the other of which regulates emissions of greenhouse gases from certain large stationary sources, effective January 2, 2011.The EPA's rules relating to emissions of greenhouse gases from large stationary sources of emissions are currently subject to a number oflegal challenges, but the federal courts have thus far declined to issue any injunctions to prevent the EPA from implementing, or requiringstate environmental agencies to implement, the rules. The EPA has also adopted rules requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissionsfrom specified large greenhouse gas emission sources in the U.S.In addition, the U.S. Congress has from time to time considered adopting legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and almostone-half of the states have already taken legal measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases primarily through the planneddevelopment of greenhouse gas emission inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs. Most of these cap and tradeprograms work by requiring major sources of emissions, such as electric power plants, or major producers of fuels, such as refineries andgas processing plants, to acquire and10Table of Contents surrender emission allowances. The number of allowances available for purchase is reduced each year in an effort to achieve the overallgreenhouse gas emission reduction goal.The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to incur increased operatingcosts, such as costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances or comply with new regulatory orreporting requirements. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demandfor, the oil and natural gas produced by our customers. Consequently, legislation and regulatory programs to reduce emissions ofgreenhouse gases could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally, it should be noted thatsome scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changesthat have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. Ifany such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.Hydraulic fracturingA significant percentage of our customers' oil and natural gas production is being developed from unconventional sources, such ashydrocarbon shales. These formations require hydraulic fracturing completion processes to release the oil or natural gas from the rock so thatit can flow through the formations. Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into the formationto stimulate production. A number of federal agencies, including the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, are analyzing, or have beenrequested to review, a variety of environmental issues associated with shale development, including hydraulic fracturing. Along these lines,on May 16, 2013, the Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") issued a proposed rule that would require the public disclosure of chemicalsused in hydraulic fracturing operations, set requirements for well-bore integrity and establish flowback water standards for all hydraulicfracturing operations on federal public lands and American Indian Tribal lands. In addition, the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authorityover hydraulic fracturing involving diesel additives under the Safe Drinking Water Act's "Underground Injection Control Program" and hasbegun the process of drafting guidance documents related to this assertion of regulatory authority. Further, some states and municipalitieshave adopted, and other states and municipalities are considering adopting, regulations that could prohibit hydraulic fracturing in certainareas or impose more stringent disclosure and/or well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. At the same time,certain environmental groups have suggested that additional laws may be needed to more closely and uniformly regulate the hydraulicfracturing process, and legislation has been proposed by some members of Congress to provide for such regulation. We cannot predictwhether any such legislation will ever be enacted and if so, what its provisions would be. If additional levels of regulation and permits wererequired through the adoption of new laws and regulations at the federal or state level, that could lead to delays, increased operating costs andprocess prohibitions for our customers that could reduce demand for our products and services, which would materially adversely affect ourrevenues, results of operations and cash flow.Employee health and safetyWe are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") andcomparable state statutes, establishing requirements to protect the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazardcommunication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment andReauthorization Act and comparable state statutes require that information be maintained concerning hazardous materials used or producedin our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and the public. Substantial finesand penalties can be imposed and orders or injunctions limiting or prohibiting certain operations may be issued in connection with any failureto comply with laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety.We also operate in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which may impose similar liabilities against us.11Table of Contents Offshore regulationEvents in recent years have heightened environmental and regulatory concerns about the offshore oil and natural gas industry. From time totime, governing bodies may propose and have enacted legislation or regulations that may materially limit or prohibit offshore drilling incertain areas. If laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that delay, restrict or prohibit offshore operations in our customers'expected areas of operation, our business could be materially adversely affected. New or newly interpreted regulations and other regulatoryinitiatives by U.S. governmental agencies have created significant uncertainty regarding the outlook of offshore activity in the U.S. Gulf ofMexico and possible implications for regions outside of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Third party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulfof Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. If the new regulations, operating procedures and possibility of increased legalliability are viewed by our current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects, then they coulddiscontinue or curtail their offshore operations thereby reducing demand for our offshore products and services.Operating risk and insuranceWe maintain insurance coverage of types and amounts that we believe to be customary and reasonable for companies of our size and withsimilar operations. In accordance with industry practice, however, we do not maintain insurance coverage against all of the operating risks towhich our business is exposed. Therefore, there is a risk our insurance program may not be sufficient to cover any particular loss or alllosses. Currently, our insurance program includes, among other things, general liability, umbrella liability, sudden and accidental pollution,personal property, vehicle, workers' compensation, and employer's liability coverage.EmployeesAs of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 3,500 employees. Of our total employees, approximately 2,600 were in the United States,550 were in the United Kingdom, 150 were in Canada and 200 were in other locations. We are not a party to any collective bargainingagreements, other than in our Hamburg, Germany and Monterrey, Mexico facilities, and we consider our relations with our employees to besatisfactory.Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks related to our businessWe derive a substantial portion of our revenues from companies in or affiliated with the oil and natural gas industry, ahistorically cyclical industry, with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and volatility of oil and naturalgas prices. As a result, this cyclicality may cause fluctuations in our revenues and results of our operations.We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in revenues and operating results due to economic and businesscycles. The willingness of oil and natural gas operators to make capital expenditures to explore for and produce oil and natural gas, thewillingness of oilfield service companies to invest in capital equipment and the need of these customers to replenish consumable partsdepends largely upon prevailing industry conditions that are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control. Such factorsinclude:•the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;•the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas;•the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;•the level of drilling activity and drilling day rates;•the expected decline rates of current and future production;•the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves;•the ability of our customers to access new markets or areas of production or to continue to access current markets;•weather conditions, including hurricanes, that can affect oil and natural gas operations over a wide area;•more stringent restrictions in environmental regulation on activities that may impact the environment;•moratoriums on drilling activity resulting in a cessation or disruption of operations;•domestic and worldwide economic conditions;•political instability in oil and natural gas producing countries;12Table of Contents •conservation measures and technological advances affecting energy consumption;•the price and availability of alternative fuels; and•merger and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers and drilling contractors.A prolonged reduction in the overall level of exploration and development activities, or a reduction in activity in certain areas such as weexperienced when land based drilling activity in the U.S. decreased due to low natural gas prices, whether resulting from changes in oil andnatural gas prices or otherwise, could adversely impact our business in many ways by negatively affecting:•revenues, cash flows, and profitability;•the ability to maintain or increase borrowing capacity;•the ability to obtain additional capital to finance our business and the cost of that capital; and•the ability to attract and retain skilled personnel needed in the event of an upturn in the demand for services.Our inability to control the inherent risks of acquiring and integrating businesses could disrupt our business and adverselyaffect our operating results going forward.We continuously evaluate acquisitions and dispositions and may elect to acquire or dispose of assets in the future. These activities maydistract management from day-to-day tasks. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:•unanticipated costs and exposure to unforeseen liabilities;•difficulty in integrating the operations and assets of the acquired businesses;•potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired company;•potential inability to properly establish and maintain effective internal control over an acquired company; and•risk of entering markets in which we have limited prior experience.Achieving the anticipated or desired benefits of our recent or potential future acquisitions will depend, in part, upon whether the integration ofthe various businesses, products, services, technology and employees is accomplished in an efficient and effective manner. There can be noassurance that we will obtain these anticipated or desired benefits of our past or future acquisitions, and if we fail to manage these riskssuccessfully, our results of operations could be adversely affected.Our failure to achieve consolidation savings, to incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations successfully or tominimize any unforeseen operational difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we may incur liabilitiesarising from events prior to the acquisition or prior to our establishment of adequate compliance oversight. While we generally seek to obtainindemnities for liabilities for events occurring before such acquisitions, these are limited in amount and duration or may be held to beunenforceable or the seller may not be able to indemnify us. We may also incur indebtedness or issue additional equity securities to financefuture acquisitions. Debt service requirements could represent a burden on our results of operations and financial condition and the issuanceof additional equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, we may dispose of assets or products that investorsmay consider beneficial to us.Our operating history may not be sufficient for investors to evaluate our business and prospects.We are a recently combined company with a short combined operating history. In addition, we have completed a number of acquisitions sincethe Combination in August 2010. These factors may make it more difficult for investors to evaluate our business and prospects and toforecast our future operating results. As a result, the historical financial data may not give you an accurate indication of what our actual resultswould have been if the Combination or the subsequent acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of whatour future results of operations are likely to be. Our future results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our combined operationsand execute our business strategy.If we cannot continue operating our manufacturing facilities at current levels, our results of operations could be adverselyaffected.We operate a number of manufacturing facilities. The equipment and management systems necessary for such operations may break down,perform poorly or fail, resulting in fluctuations in manufacturing efficiencies. Such fluctuations may affect our ability to deliver products to ourcustomers on a timely basis.13Table of Contents Growing our business organically through the expansion of our existing product lines and facilities subjects us to risks ofconstruction delays and cost overruns.One of the ways that we grow our businesses is through the construction of new facilities and expansions to our existing facilities. Theseprojects, and any other capital asset construction projects which we may commence, are subject to similar risks of delay or cost overruninherent in any construction project resulting from numerous factors, including the following:•difficulties or delays in obtaining land;•shortages of key equipment, materials or skilled labor;•unscheduled delays in the delivery of ordered materials and equipment;•unanticipated cost increases;•weather interferences; and•difficulties in obtaining necessary permits or in meeting permit conditions.We may be unable to employ a sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers.The delivery of our products and services requires personnel with specialized skills and experience. Our ability to be productive and profitabledepends upon our ability to employ and retain skilled workers. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our abilityto increase the size of our skilled labor force. The demand for skilled workers is high, the supply is limited and the cost to attract and retainqualified personnel has increased over the past few years. For example, we have experienced shortages of drilling rig equipment engineers,software engineers, mechanical assemblers, machinists and code welders, which, in some instances, has slowed the productivity of certainof our operations. Furthermore, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilledlabor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or both. If any of these events were to occur, our capacity and profitability could bediminished, our ability to respond quickly to customer demands or strong market conditions may be inhibited and our growth potential couldbe impaired.A portion of our business is driven by spending on capital equipment such as drilling rigs. Over the last several years, therehave been high levels of spending on capital equipment. These high levels of investment may not be sustainable over time, and,in some cases such as with land rigs, the pace of investment has slowed.In various segments of the energy industry there have been high levels of demand for construction of capital intensive equipment, some ofwhich has a long life once introduced into the industry. High levels of investment can produce excess supply of equipment for many years,reducing dayrates and undermining the economics for new capital equipment orders. When these levels of activity fall, an increasedcompetitive environment for capital equipment can result, which could lead to lower prices and utilization for our customers and a decreaseddemand for capital equipment products. For example, starting in the second half of 2012 we saw spending levels on land drilling rigsdecrease relative to the pace of investment in the previous two years due to lower drilling activity. This resulted in lower revenues for us fromboth capital equipment orders and consumables in 2012 and 2013. Our strategy is to serve a variety of segments and spend cycles, but tothe extent our financial results are impacted by capital equipment construction, our results may decline should an excess supply of capitalequipment materialize. In addition, our competitors may increase their manufacturing capacity, which would lead to even greater competitionin times of reduced demand.Our business depends upon our ability to obtain key raw materials and specialized equipment from suppliers. Increased costsof raw materials and other components may result in increased operating expenses.Should our current suppliers be unable to provide the necessary raw materials or finished products or otherwise fail to deliver such materialsand products timely and in the quantities required, resulting delays in the provision of products or services to customers could have amaterial adverse effect on our business. In particular, because many of our products are manufactured out of steel, we are particularlysusceptible to fluctuations in steel prices. Our results of operations may be adversely affected by our inability to manage the rising costs andavailability of raw materials and components used in our products.14Table of Contents If suppliers cannot provide adequate quantities of materials to meet customers' demands on a timely basis or if the quality ofthe materials provided does not meet established standards, we may lose customers or experience lower profitability.Some of our customer contracts require us to compensate customers if we do not meet specified delivery obligations. We expect to rely onnumerous suppliers to provide required materials and in many instances these materials must meet certain specifications. Managing ageographically diverse supply base inherently poses significant logistical challenges. Furthermore, the ability of third party suppliers to delivermaterials to our specifications may be affected by events beyond our control. As a result, there is a risk that we could experience diminishedsupplier performance resulting in longer than expected lead times and/or product quality issues. For example, we have in the pastexperienced issues with the quality of certain forgings used to produce materials that are used in our products. As a result, we were requiredto seek alternative suppliers for those forgings, which resulted in increased costs and a disruption in our supply chain. We have also beenrequired in certain circumstances to provide better economic terms to some of our suppliers in exchange for their agreement to increase theircapacity to satisfy our supply needs. The occurrence of any of the foregoing factors could have a negative impact on our ability to deliverproducts to customers within committed time frames.We are subject to the risk of supplier concentration.Certain of our product lines depend on a limited number of third party suppliers and vendors. As a result of this concentration in some of oursupply chains, our business and operations could be negatively affected if our key suppliers were to experience significant disruptionsaffecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products. For example, we have a limited number of vendors for our bearingsproduct lines. The partial or complete loss of any one of our key suppliers, or a significant adverse change in the relationship with any ofthese suppliers, through consolidation or otherwise, would limit our ability to manufacture and sell certain of our products.Our operations and our customers' operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increaseour and our customers' costs, prohibit or curtail our customers' operations in certain areas, limit the demand for our productsand services or restrict our operations.Our business and our customers' businesses may be significantly affected by:•federal, state and local and non-U.S. laws and other regulations relating to oilfield operations, worker safety and protection of theenvironment;•changes in these laws and regulations; and•the level of enforcement of these 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 changingtaxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general. For example, the adoption of laws andregulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect ouroperations by limiting demand for our products. In addition, some non-U.S. countries may adopt regulations or practices that provide anadvantage to indigenous oil companies in bidding for oil leases, or require indigenous companies to perform oilfield services currentlysupplied by international service companies. To the extent that such companies are not our customers, or we are unable to developrelationships with them, our business may suffer. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may beaffected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations.Because of our non-U.S. operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in non-U.S. laws and regulations that may encourage orrequire hiring of local contractors or require non-U.S. contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Ifwe fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations or financial condition may be adversely affected.If we are unable to accurately predict customer demand or if customers cancel their orders on short notice, we may holdexcess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce gross margins. Conversely, insufficient inventory would result in lostrevenue opportunities and, potentially, in loss of market share and damaged customer relationships.Customers can generally cancel or defer purchase orders on short notice without incurring a significant penalty. As a result, we cannotaccurately predict what or how many products such customers will need in the future. Anticipating15Table of Contents demand is difficult because our customers face unpredictable demand for their own products and are increasingly focused on cashpreservation and tighter inventory management.Orders are placed with our suppliers based on forecasts of customer demand and, in some instances, we may establish buffer inventories toaccommodate anticipated demand. For example, at certain times, we have built capital equipment before receiving customer orders, and wekept our standardized downhole protection systems and certain of our flow iron products in stock and readily available for delivery on shortnotice from customers. Our forecasts of customer demand are based on multiple assumptions, each of which may introduce errors into theestimates. In addition, many of our suppliers, such as those for certain of our standardized valves, require a longer lead time to provideproducts than our customers demand for delivery of our finished products. If we overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resourcesto the purchase of material or manufactured products that we may not be able to sell when we expect to, if at all. As a result, we would holdexcess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce gross margin and adversely affect financial results. Conversely, if we underestimatecustomer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity is available, we would miss revenue opportunities and potentially lose marketshare and damage our customer relationships. In addition, any future significant cancellations or deferrals of product orders or the return ofpreviously sold products could materially and adversely affect profit margins, increase product obsolescence and restrict our ability to fund ouroperations.The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and some of our competitors hold substantial market share and havesubstantially greater resources than we do. We may not be able to compete successfully in this environment and, in particular,against a much larger competitor.The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and our products and services are subject to competition from significantly largerbusinesses. One competitor in particular holds substantial market share in our largest product line's market and has substantially greaterresources than we do. We also have several other competitors that are large national and multinational companies that have longer operatinghistories, greater financial, technical and other resources and greater name recognition than we do. Some of our competitors may be able torespond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and services and changes in customer requirements. In addition, several of ourcompetitors provide a much broader array of services, and have a stronger presence in more geographic markets. Our larger competitorsmay be able to use their size and purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. Furthermore, some of ourcustomers are also our competitors and they may cease buying from us. We also have competitors outside of the United States with lowerstructural costs due to labor and raw material cost in and around their manufacturing centers.New competitors could also enter the markets in which we compete. We consider product quality, performance, price, distribution capabilitiesand breadth of product offerings to be the primary competitive factors. Competitors may be able to offer more attractive pricing, duplicatestrategies, or develop enhancements to products that could offer performance features that are superior to our products. In addition, we maynot be able to retain key employees of entities that we acquire in the future and those employees may choose to compete against us.Competitive pressures, including those described above, and other factors could adversely affect our competitive position, resulting in a lossof market share or decreases in prices. In addition, some competitors are based in foreign countries and have cost structures and pricesbased on foreign currencies. Accordingly, currency fluctuations could cause U.S. dollar-priced products to be less competitive than ourcompetitors' products that are priced in other currencies. For more information about our competitors, please read "Business-Competition."Our products are used in operations that are subject to potential hazards inherent in the oil and gas industry and, as a result,we are exposed to potential liabilities that may affect our financial condition and reputation.Our products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications in the oil and gas industry where an accidentor a failure of a product can potentially have catastrophic consequences. Risks inherent to these applications, such as equipmentmalfunctions and failures, equipment misuse and defects, explosions, blowouts and uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids andnatural disasters, on land or in deepwater or shallow-water environments, can cause personal injury, loss of life, suspension of operations,damage to formations, damage to facilities, business interruption and damage to or destruction of property, surface water and drinking waterresources, equipment and the environment. In addition, we provide certain services that could cause, contribute to or be implicated in theseevents. If our products or services fail to meet specifications or are involved in accidents or failures, we could face warranty, contract or otherlitigation claims, which could expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, loss of oil and gasproduction, pollution and other environmental damages. Our insurance policies may not be adequate to cover all liabilities. Further,insurance may not be generally16Table of Contents available in the future or, if available, insurance premiums may make such insurance commercially unjustifiable. Moreover, even if we aresuccessful in defending a claim, it could be time-consuming and costly to defend.In addition, the frequency and severity of such incidents will affect operating costs, insurability and relationships with customers, employeesand regulators. In particular, our customers may elect not to purchase our services if they view our safety record as unacceptable, which couldcause us to lose customers and substantial revenues. In addition, these risks may be greater for us because we may acquire companies thathave not allocated significant resources and management focus to safety and have a poor safety record requiring rehabilitative efforts duringthe integration process and we may incur liabilities for losses before such rehabilitation occurs.Our operations are subject to environmental and operational safety laws and regulations that may expose us to significantcosts and liabilities.Our operations are subject to numerous stringent and complex laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into theenvironment, health and safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to human health and environmental protection. These lawsand regulations may, among other things, regulate the management and disposal of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes; requireacquisition of environmental permits related to our operations; restrict the types, quantities, and concentrations of various materials that canbe released into the environment; limit or prohibit operational activities in certain ecologically sensitive and other protected areas; regulatespecific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection; require compliance with operational and equipment standards; imposetesting, reporting and recordkeeping requirements; and require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations.Failure to comply with these laws and regulations or to obtain or comply with permits may result in the assessment of administrative, civiland criminal penalties, imposition of remedial or corrective action requirements and the imposition of injunctions to prohibit certain activitiesor force future compliance. Certain environmental laws may impose joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, onclasses of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. In addition, theserisks may be greater for us because the companies we acquire or have acquired may not have allocated sufficient resources andmanagement focus to environmental compliance, potentially requiring rehabilitative efforts during the integration process or exposing us toliability before such rehabilitation occurs.The trend in environmental regulation has been to impose increasingly stringent restrictions and limitations on activities that may impact theenvironment. The implementation of new laws and regulations could result in materially increased costs, stricter standards andenforcement, larger fines and liability and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, particularly for our customers.We may incur liabilities, fines, penalties or additional costs, or we may be unable to sell to certain customers if we do notmaintain safe operations.If we fail to comply with safety regulations or maintain an acceptable level of safety at our facilities we may incur fines, penalties or otherliabilities, or may be held criminally liable. We may incur additional costs to upgrade equipment or conduct additional training, or otherwiseincur costs in connection with compliance with safety regulations. Failure to maintain safe operations or achieve certain safety performancemetrics could disqualify us from doing business with certain customers, particularly major oil companies.Our executive officers and certain key personnel are critical to our business and these officers and key personnel may notremain with us in the future.Our future success depends in substantial part on our ability to hire and retain our executive officers and other key personnel. In particular,we are highly dependent on certain of our executive officers, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, C. ChristopherGaut. These individuals possess extensive expertise, talent and leadership, and they are critical to our success. The diminution or loss of theservices of these individuals, or other integral key personnel affiliated with entities that we acquire in the future, could have a materialadverse effect on our business. Furthermore, we may not be able to enforce all of the provisions in any employment agreement we haveentered into with certain of our executive officers and such employment agreements may not otherwise be effective in retaining suchindividuals. In addition, we may not be able to retain key employees of entities that we acquire in the future. This may impact our ability tosuccessfully integrate or operate the assets we acquire.17Table of Contents The industry in which we operate is undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact results of operations.Some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and purchasing power to achieve economies of scale and pricingconcessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by such customers or the acquisition of one or more of our otherprimary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. If we cannot maintain sales levels for customersthat have consolidated or replace such revenues with increased business activities from other customers, this consolidation activity couldhave a significant negative impact on results of operations or financial condition. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in theindustries may have on prices, capital spending by customers, selling strategies, competitive position, ability to retain customers or ability tonegotiate favorable agreements with customers.If we are unable to continue operating successfully overseas or to successfully expand into new international markets, ourrevenues may decrease.For the year ended December 31, 2013, we derived approximately 40% of our revenue from sales outside the United States (based onproduct destination). In addition, one of our key growth strategies is to market products in international markets. We may not succeed inmarketing, developing a recognized brand, selling, distributing products and generating revenues in these new international markets.Our non-U.S. operations will subject us to special risks.We are subject to various risks inherent in conducting business operations in locations outside of the United States. These risks may includechanges in regional, political or economic conditions, local laws and policies, including taxes, trade protection measures, and unexpectedchanges in regulatory requirements governing the operations of companies that operate outside of the United States. In addition, if a disputearises from international operations, courts outside of the United States may have exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute, or we may not beable to subject persons outside of the United States to the jurisdiction of U.S. courts.Our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations may result in fluctuations in our cash flows and could have an adverseeffect on our results of operations.From time to time, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could be material to us depending upon, among other things, our manufacturinglocations and the sourcing for our raw materials and components. In particular, we are sensitive to fluctuations in currency exchange ratesbetween the United States dollar and each of the Canadian dollar, the British pound sterling, and, to a lesser degree, the Mexican Peso, theEuro, the Chinese Yuan and the Singapore dollar. There may be instances in which costs and revenue will not be matched with respect tocurrency denomination. As a result, to the extent that we continue our expansion on a global basis, management expects that increasingportions of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities will be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency valuations. We may experience economicloss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, the markets inwhich we operate could restrict the removal or conversion of the local or foreign currency, resulting in our inability to hedge against theserisks.Our business operations in countries outside of the United States are subject to a number of U.S. federal laws and regulations,including restrictions imposed by the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as trade sanctions administered bythe Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Commerce Department.Local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly from those in the United States. In many countries, particularly in those withdeveloping economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by the regulations applicable to us. The United StatesForeign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions, including the UK Bribery Act 2010, prohibitcorporations and individuals, including us and our employees, from engaging in certain activities to obtain or retain business or to influence aperson working in an official capacity. We are responsible for any violations by our employees, contractors and agents, whether based withinor outside of the United States, for violations of the FCPA. We may also be held responsible for any violations by an acquired company thatoccur prior to an acquisition, or subsequent to the acquisition but before we are able to institute our compliance procedures. In addition, ournon-U.S. competitors that are not subject to the FCPA or similar laws may be able to secure business or other preferential treatment in suchcountries by means that such laws prohibit with respect to us. The UK Bribery Act 2010 is broader in scope than the FCPA and applies topublic and private sector corruption and contains no facilitating payments exception. A violation of any of these laws, even if prohibited by ourpolicies, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation, be expensive todefend, and impair our ability to do business.18Table of Contents Compliance with U.S. regulations on trade sanctions and embargoes administered by the United States Department of the Treasury's Officeof Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") also poses a risk to us. We cannot provide products or services to certain countries subject to U.S. tradesanctions. Furthermore, the laws and regulations concerning import activity, export recordkeeping and reporting, export control and economicsanctions are complex and constantly changing. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory trading obligations could result incriminal and civil penalties and sanctions, such as fines, imprisonment, debarment from governmental contracts, seizure of shipments andloss of import and export privileges.Unionization efforts and labor regulations in certain areas in which we operate could materially increase our costs or limit ourflexibility.We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, other than in our Monterrey, Mexico and Hamburg, Germany facilities. Weoperate in certain states within the United States and in international areas that have a history of unionization and we may become thesubject of a unionization campaign. If some or all of our workforce were to become unionized and collective bargaining agreement terms,including any renegotiation of our Monterrey, Mexico and Hamburg, Germany collective bargaining agreements, were significantly differentfrom our current compensation arrangements or work practices, our costs could be increased, our flexibility in terms of work schedules andreductions in force could be limited, and we could be subject to strikes or work slowdowns among other things.We may incur liabilities to customers as a result of warranty claims.We provide warranties as to the proper operation and conformance to specifications of the products we manufacture or install. Failure of ourproducts to operate properly or to meet specifications may increase costs by requiring additional engineering resources and services,replacement of parts and equipment or monetary reimbursement to a customer. We have in the past received warranty claims, and weexpect to continue to receive them in the future. To the extent that we incur substantial warranty claims in any period, our reputation, ability toobtain future business and earnings could be adversely affected.We are subject to litigation risks that may not be covered by insurance.In the ordinary course of business, we become the subject of various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages orother remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individualsalleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of our products or operations. Some of these claims relate to the activities of businessesthat we have acquired, even though these activities may have occurred prior to our acquisition of such businesses. Our insurance does notcover all of our potential losses, and we are subject to various self-insured retentions and deductibles under our insurance. A judgment maybe rendered against us in cases in which we could be uninsured or beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipateincurring for such matters.The number and cost of our current and future asbestos claims could be substantially higher than we have estimated and thetiming of payment of claims could be sooner than we have estimated.One of our subsidiaries has been and continues to be named as a defendant in asbestos related product liability actions. The actual amountsexpended on asbestos-related claims in any year may be impacted by the number of claims filed, the nature of the allegations asserted in theclaims, the jurisdictions in which claims are filed, and the number of settlements. As of December 31, 2013, our subsidiary had a recordedliability of $250,000 for the estimated indemnity cost associated with the resolution of its current open claims and future claims anticipated tobe filed during the next five years.Due to a number of uncertainties that may result in significant changes in the current estimate, the actual costs of resolving these pendingclaims could be substantially higher than the current estimate. Among these are uncertainties as to the ultimate number and type of claimsfiled, the amounts of claim costs, the impact of bankruptcies of other companies with asbestos claims or of our insurers, and potentiallegislative changes and uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case. In addition,future claims beyond the five-year forecast period are possible, but the accrual does not cover losses that may arise from such additionalfuture claims. Therefore, any such future claims could result in a loss.Significant costs are incurred in defending asbestos claims and these costs are recorded at the time incurred. Receipt of reimbursement fromour insurers may be delayed for a variety of reasons. In particular, if our primary insurers claim that certain policy limits have beenexhausted, we may be delayed in receiving reimbursement as a result of the19Table of Contents transition from one set of insurers to another. Our excess insurers may also dispute the claims of exhaustion, or may rely on certain policyrequirements to delay or deny claims. Furthermore, the various per occurrence and aggregate limits in different insurance policies may resultin extended negotiations or the denial of reimbursement for particular claims. For more information on the cost sharing agreements related tothis risk, please read "Business—Legal proceedings."If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results orprevent fraud.Effective internal control over financial processes and reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively preventfraud and to operate successfully. Our efforts to maintain internal control systems may not be successful. In addition, the entities that weacquire in the future may not maintain effective systems of internal control or we may encounter difficulties integrating our system of internalcontrol with those of acquired entities. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control and, as a result, fail to provide reliable financialreports and effectively prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed.We may be impacted by disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the foreign countries in whichwe are expected to conduct business.Instability and unforeseen changes in the international markets in which we conduct business, including economically and politically volatileareas such as North Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region, could cause or contribute to factors that could have anadverse effect on the demand for the products and services we provide. For example, we have previously transferred management andoperations from certain Latin American countries, due to the presence of political turmoil, to other countries in the region that are morepolitically stable.In addition, worldwide political, economic, and military events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continueto do so in the future. Depending on the market prices of oil and natural gas, oil and natural gas exploration and development companiesmay cancel or curtail their drilling programs, thereby reducing demand for our products and services.Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases could increase our operating costs orreduce demand for our products.Environmental advocacy groups and regulatory agencies in the United States and other countries have focused considerable attention on theemissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases and their potential role in climate change. The Environmental ProtectionAgency (the "EPA") has already begun to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the federal Clean Air Act. The adoption of additionallegislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to incur increased operating costs to complywith new emissions-reduction or reporting requirements. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost ofconsuming, and thereby reduce demand for, hydrocarbons that our customers produce. Consequently, legislation and regulatory programs toreduce emissions of greenhouse gases could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally,some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere may produce climate changesthat have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events.Adverse weather conditions adversely affect demand for services and operations.Adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, ice or snow may damage or destroy our facilities, interrupt or curtail ouroperations, or our customers' operations, cause supply disruptions and result in a loss of revenue, which may or may not be insured. Forexample, certain of our facilities located in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania have experienced suspensions in operations due to tornado activityor extreme cold weather conditions.A natural disaster, catastrophe or other event could result in severe property damage, which could curtail our operations.Some of our operations involve risks of, among other things, property damage, which could curtail our operations. For example, disruptionsin operations or damage to a manufacturing plant could reduce our ability to produce products and satisfy customer demand. In particular, wehave offices and manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas, and in various places throughout the U.S. Gulf Coast region. These offices andfacilities are particularly susceptible to severe tropical storms and hurricanes, which may disrupt our operations. If one or moremanufacturing facilities we own are20Table of Contents damaged by severe weather or any other disaster, accident, catastrophe or event, our operations could be significantly interrupted. Similarinterruptions could result from damage to production or other facilities that provide supplies or other raw materials to our plants or otherstoppages arising from factors beyond our control. These interruptions might involve significant damage to, among other things, property andrepairs might take from a week or less for a minor incident to many months or more for a major interruption.Potential legislation or regulations restricting the use of hydraulic fracturing could reduce demand for our products.Hydraulic fracturing is an important and common practice in the oil and gas industry, which involves the injection of water, sand andchemicals under pressure into a formation to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production of hydrocarbons. Certain environmentaladvocacy groups have suggested that additional federal, state and local laws and regulations may be needed to more closely regulate thehydraulic fracturing process, and have made claims that hydraulic fracturing techniques are harmful to surface water and drinking waterresources. Various governmental entities (within and outside the United States) are in the process of studying, restricting, regulating orpreparing to regulate hydraulic fracturing, directly or indirectly. For example, the EPA has already begun to regulate certain hydraulicfracturing operations involving diesel under the auspices of the Underground Injection Control Program under the federal Safe DrinkingWater Act, and is conducting a study to determine if additional regulation of hydraulic fracturing is warranted. Likewise, the Department of theInterior’s Bureau of Land Management has proposed new regulations of hydraulic fracturing activities conducted on federal and tribal lands.The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs that restrict hydraulic fracturing could adversely affect, reduce or delay well drilling andcompletion activities, increase the cost of drilling and production, and thereby reduce demand for our products and services.Compliance with government regulations regarding the use of "conflict minerals" may result in increased costs and risks tous.As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank"), the SEC has promulgated disclosurerequirements regarding the use of certain minerals, which are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries,known as conflict minerals. The disclosure rules will take effect for us in May 2014. We may have to publicly disclose whether the productswe sell contain conflict minerals and could incur significant costs related to implementing a process that will meet the mandates of Dodd-Frank. Additionally, customers may rely on us to provide critical data regarding the parts they purchase and will likely request conflict mineralinformation. We have many suppliers and each will provide conflict mineral information in a different manner, if at all. Accordingly, becausethe supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of conflict minerals used inour products. Additionally, customers may demand that the products they purchase be free of conflict minerals. The implementation of thisrequirement could affect the sourcing and availability of products we purchase from our suppliers. This may reduce the number of suppliersthat may be able to provide conflict free products, and may affect our ability to obtain products in sufficient quantities to meet customerdemand or at competitive prices. In addition, there may be material costs associated with complying with the disclosure requirements, suchas costs related to determining the source of any relevant minerals used in our products, as well as costs arising from any changes as aconsequence of such verification activities.Our financial results could be adversely impacted by changes in regulation of oil and natural gas exploration and developmentactivity, in response to significant environmental incidents.The U.S. Department of the Interior implemented additional safety and certification requirements applicable to drilling activities in the U.S.Gulf of Mexico, imposed additional requirements with respect to exploration, development and production activities in U.S. waters andimposed a moratorium that delayed the approval of drilling plans and well permits in both deepwater and shallow-water areas due to theMacondo well incident. Although neither we nor our products were involved in the incident, the delays caused by the new regulations andrequirements had an overall negative effect on drilling activity in U.S. waters, and to a certain extent, our financial results. Another similarenvironmental incident could result in similar drilling moratoria, and could result in increased state, international and additional federalregulation of our and our customers' operations that could negatively impact our earnings, prospects and the availability and cost of insurancecoverage. Any additional regulation of the exploration and production industry as a whole could result in fewer companies being financiallyqualified to operate offshore or onshore in the U.S. or in non-U.S. jurisdictions, result in higher operating costs for our customers and reducedemand for our products and services.21Table of Contents We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements, code requirements or other specifications undercontracts and contract tenders.Many of our products are used in harsh environments and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requestsfor bids often set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements (including that they meet certain industrial code requirements, suchas API, ASME or similar codes, or that our processes and facilities maintain ISO or similar certifications) for our products and services, whichmay also include extensive testing requirements. We anticipate that such code testing requirements will become more common in ourcontracts. We cannot assure you that our products or facilities will be able to satisfy the specifications or requirements, or that we will be ableto perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existingcontracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products or facilities to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect ourresults of operations. If our products or facilities are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable to perform or satisfy any requiredfull-scale testing, we may suffer reputational harm and our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and ourbusiness, results of operations or financial position may be adversely affected.Our success depends on our ability to implement new technologies and services.Our success depends on the ongoing development and implementation of new product designs and improvements, and on our ability toprotect and maintain critical intellectual property assets related to these developments. If we are not able to obtain patent or other intellectualproperty protection of our technology, we may not be able to recoup development costs or fully exploit systems, services and technologies in amanner that allows us to meet evolving industry requirements at prices acceptable to our customers. In addition, some of our competitors arelarge national and multinational companies that may be able to devote greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources toresearch and development of new systems, services and technologies than we are able to do. We have not spent material amounts onresearch and development activities during the three most recent fiscal years.Our success will be affected by the use and protection of our proprietary technology. There are limitations to our intellectualproperty rights in our proprietary technology, and thus our right to exclude others from the use of such proprietary technology.Our success will be affected by our development and implementation of new product designs and improvements and by our ability to protectand maintain critical intellectual property assets related to these developments. Although in many cases our products are not protected by anyregistered intellectual property rights, in other cases we rely on a combination of patents and trade secret laws to establish and protect thisproprietary technology.We currently hold multiple U.S. and international patents and have multiple pending patent applications for products and processes. Patentrights give the owner of a patent the right to exclude third parties from making, using, selling, and offering for sale the inventions claimed inthe patents in the applicable country. Patent rights do not necessarily grant the owner of a patent the right to practice the invention claimed ina patent, but merely the right to exclude others from practicing the invention claimed in the patent. It may also be possible for a third party todesign around our patents. Furthermore, patent rights have strict territorial limits. Some of our work will be conducted in international watersand would, therefore, not fall within the scope of any country's patent jurisdiction. We may not be able to enforce our patents againstinfringement occurring in international waters and other "non-covered" territories. Also, we do not have patents in every jurisdiction in whichwe conduct business and our patent portfolio will not protect all aspects of our business and may relate to obsolete or unusual methods,which would not prevent third parties from entering the same market.In addition, by customarily entering into confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers and potential customersand suppliers, we attempt to limit access to and distribution of our technology. Our rights in our confidential information, trade secrets, andconfidential know-how will not prevent third parties from independently developing similar information. Publicly available information (e.g.information in expired issued patents, published patent applications, and scientific literature) can also be used by third parties toindependently develop technology. We cannot provide assurance that this independently developed technology will not be equivalent orsuperior to our proprietary technology.Our competitors may infringe upon, misappropriate, violate or challenge the validity or enforceability of our intellectual property and we maynot able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights in the future.22Table of Contents We may be adversely affected by disputes regarding intellectual property rights and the value of our intellectual propertyrights is uncertain.As discussed above, we may become involved in legal proceedings from time to time to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.Third parties from time to time may initiate litigation against us by asserting that the conduct of our business infringes, misappropriates orotherwise violates intellectual property rights. We may not prevail in any such legal proceedings related to such claims, and our products andservices may be found to infringe, impair, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others. Any legalproceeding concerning intellectual property could be protracted and costly and is inherently unpredictable and could have a material adverseeffect on our business, regardless of its outcome. Further, our intellectual property rights may not have the value that management believesthem to have and such value may change over time as we and others develop new product designs and improvements.A failure or breach of our information technology infrastructure could adversely impact our business and results of operations.The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our information technology ("IT") systems. Accordingly, we rely upon the capacity,reliability and security of our IT hardware and software infrastructure and our ability to expand and update this infrastructure in response toour changing needs. Despite our implementation of security measures, our IT systems are vulnerable to computer viruses, naturaldisasters, incursions by intruders or hackers, failures in hardware or software, power fluctuations, cyber terrorists and other similardisruptions. The failure of our IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt ourbusiness and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and that of ourcustomers, inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, increased overhead costs, and loss of intellectual property, which could havea material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to preventdamage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future.In the past we have incurred certain impairment charges. We may incur additional impairment charges in future years.We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for potential impairment whenever events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. In performing our review for impairment, futurecash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual value upon disposal are estimated. If the undiscounted future cashflows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amount of the impairment ismeasured as the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined either throughthe use of an external valuation, or by means of an analysis of discounted future cash flows based on expected utilization. The impairmentloss recognized represents the excess of the asset's carrying value as compared to its estimated fair value.For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or whenever an eventindicating impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit's netassets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We have six reporting units. We determine the fair valueof our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use ofsignificant estimates and assumptions. If the reporting unit's carrying value is greater than its fair value, a second step is performed wherebythe implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a hypothetical purchase price allocationanalysis. We recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its reassessed fairvalue. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment loss of $1.2 million on certain indefinite-lived intangibleassets resulting from a lack of orders related to a specific service line. No other impairment losses were recorded on goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.If we determine that the carrying value of our long-lived assets, goodwill or intangible assets is less than their fair value, we may be requiredto record additional charges in the future.23Table of Contents The indenture governing our notes and our Credit Facility contains operating and financial restrictions that may restrict ourbusiness and financing activities.The indenture governing our notes and our Credit Facility contain, and any future indebtedness we incur may contain, a number ofrestrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, amongother things:•pay dividends on, purchase or redeem our common stock or purchase or redeem our subordinated debt;•make certain investments;•incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of equity securities;•create certain liens;•sell assets, including equity interests in our restricted subsidiaries;•redeem or prepay subordinated debt;•restrict dividends or other payments of our restricted subsidiaries;•consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;•engage in transactions with affiliates; and•create unrestricted subsidiaries.Our Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, among other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specifiedfinancial ratios or conditions summarized as follows:•Total funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA") (defined as the "Leverage Ratio" in the CreditFacility) of not more than 4.50 to 1.0;•Senior secured debt to adjusted EBITDA (defined as the "Senior Secured Leverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not more than 3.50 to1.0; and•EBITDA to interest expense (defined as the "Interest Coverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.As a result of these covenants, we will be limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and we may be unable to engage infavorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. Our ability to comply with some of the covenants, ratios or testscontained in our indenture and Credit Facility may be affected by events beyond our control. If market or other economic conditionsdeteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants, ratios or tests may be impaired. A failure to comply with the covenants, ratios or testsor any future indebtedness could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse affect on ourbusiness, financial condition and results of operations.Our indebtedness could restrict our operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.We currently have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $108.0 million of borrowingsunder our Credit Facility, $16.6 million of outstanding letters of credit and capacity to borrow an additional $475.4 million under the revolvingportion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the available borrowings under the facilityby $300 million, subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from new lenders. We also have$400 million of 6.25% senior notes due 2021 outstanding. Our level of indebtedness may adversely affect our operations and limit ourgrowth, and we may have difficulty making debt service payments on our indebtedness as such payments become due. Our level ofindebtedness may affect our operations in several ways, including the following:•our indebtedness may increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;•the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness limit our ability to borrow funds, dispose of assets, paydividends and make certain investments;•our debt covenants also affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in its industry;24Table of Contents •any failure to comply with the financial or other covenants of our indebtedness could result in an event of default, which could result insome or all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable;•our indebtedness could impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitionsor other general corporate purposes; and•our business may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to enable us to meet our obligations under our indebtedness.Provisions in our organizational documents and under Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of ourcompany, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.The existence of some provisions in our organizational documents and under Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of ourcompany that a stockholder may consider favorable, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Certain provisions of ouramended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquirecontrol of our company, even if the change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:•a classified board of directors, so that only approximately one-third of our directors are elected each year;•the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;•limitations on the removal of directors; and•limitations on the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings.In addition, our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice provisions for stockholder proposals and nominations for elections tothe board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of stockholders.L.E. Simmons & Associates, Incorporated ("LESA"), through SCF, may effectively control the outcome of stockholder votingand may exercise this voting power in a manner adverse to our other stockholders.As of February 26, 2014, SCF held approximately 35.8 million shares of our common stock, equal to approximately 38% of the outstandingcommon stock at that date. LESA is the ultimate general partner of SCF and will exert significant control over us, including over the outcomeof most matters requiring a stockholder vote, such as the election of directors, adoption of amendments to our charter and bylaws andapproval of transactions involving a change of control. LESA's interests may differ from our other stockholders, and SCF may vote itscommon stock in a manner that may adversely affect those stockholders.SCF is a party to a registration rights agreement with us which requires us to effect the registration of its shares in certain circumstances.SCF exercised such rights in 2013 with respect to six million shares, which were offered and sold in November 2013. Additional sales ofsubstantial amounts of our common stock by SCF, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing marketprices of our common stock.Certain of our directors may have conflicts of interest because they are also directors or officers of SCF. The resolution ofthese conflicts of interest may not be in the best interests of our Company or our other stockholders.Certain of our directors, namely David C. Baldwin and Andrew L. Waite, are currently officers of LESA. In addition, a trust in which thechildren of our Chief Executive Officer, C. Christopher Gaut, are primary beneficiaries holds an ownership interest in the general partner ofeach of SCF-VI, L.P. and SCF-VII, L.P. These positions may create conflicts of interest because these directors and Mr. Gaut have anownership interest in SCF-VI, L.P. and SCF-VII, L.P. and/or responsibilities to SCF Partners and its owners. Duties as directors or officers ofLESA may conflict with such individuals' duties as one of our directors or officers regarding business dealings and other matters betweenSCF Partners and us. The resolution of these conflicts may not always be in the best interest of our Company or our other stockholders.Please read "We have renounced any interest in specified business opportunities, and SCF Partners and its director nominees on our boardof directors generally have no obligation to offer us those opportunities."25Table of Contents We have renounced any interest in specified business opportunities, and SCF Partners and its director nominees on our boardof directors generally have no obligation to offer us those opportunities.Our certificate of incorporation provides that, so long as we have a director or officer who is affiliated with SCF Partners (an "SCF Nominee")and for a continuous period of one year thereafter, we renounce any interest or expectancy in any business opportunity in which any memberof the SCF group participates or desires or seeks to participate in and that involves any aspect of the energy equipment or services businessor industry, other than (i) any business opportunity that is brought to the attention of an SCF Nominee solely in such person’s capacity as adirector or officer of our Company and with respect to which no other member of the SCF group independently receives notice or otherwiseidentifies such opportunity and (ii) any business opportunity that is identified by the SCF group solely through the disclosure of informationby or on behalf of our Company. We refer to SCF Partners and its other affiliates and its portfolio companies as the SCF group. We are notprohibited from pursuing any business opportunity with respect to which we have renounced any interest.SCF Partners has investments in other oilfield service companies that may compete with us, and SCF Partners and its affiliates, other thanour Company, may invest in other such companies in the future. LESA, the ultimate general partner of SCF Partners, has an internal policythat discourages it from investing in two or more portfolio companies with substantially overlapping industry segments and geographic areas.However, LESA’s internal policy does not restrict the management or operation of its other individual portfolio companies from competingwith us. Pursuant to LESA’s policy, LESA may allocate any potential opportunities to the existing portfolio company where LESAdetermines, in its discretion, such opportunities are the most logical strategic and operational fit. As a result, LESA or its affiliates maybecome aware, from time to time, of certain business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities, and may direct such opportunities toits other portfolio companies, in which case we may not become aware of or otherwise have the ability to pursue such opportunities.Furthermore, LESA does not have a specific policy with regard to allocation of financial professionals and they are under no obligation toprovide us with financial professionals.Our common stock price has been volatile, and we expect it to continue to remain volatile in the future.The market price of common stock of companies engaged in the oil and gas equipment manufacturing and services industry has beenvolatile. Likewise, the market price of our common stock has varied in the past (2013 low of $24.50 per share; 2013 high of $31.80 pershare), and we expect it to continue to remain volatile given the cyclical nature of our industry.Item 1B.

Legal ProceedingsWe have various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings that are pending or threatened, all arising in the ordinary course ofbusiness, with respect to commercial, product liability and employee matters. Although no assurance can be given with respect to theoutcome of these or any other pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have, we believe any ultimateliability resulting from the outcome of such claims, lawsuits or administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on ourconsolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, whichare incorporated herein by reference in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Asbestos litigationOne of our subsidiaries has been named as one of many defendants in a number of product liability claims for alleged exposure to asbestos.These lawsuits are typically filed on behalf of plaintiffs who allege exposure to some asbestos,27Table of Contents against numerous defendants, often 40 or more, who may have manufactured or distributed products containing asbestos. The injuriesalleged by plaintiffs in these cases range from mesothelioma to other cancers to asbestosis. The earliest claims against our subsidiary werefiled in New Jersey in 1998, and our subsidiary currently has active cases in Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois. Thesecomplaints do not typically include requests for a specific amount of damages. The trademark for the product line with asbestos exposure wasacquired in 1985. Our subsidiary has been successful in obtaining dismissals in many lawsuits where the exposure is alleged to haveoccurred prior to our acquisition of the trademark. The law in some states does not find purchasers of product lines to have tort liability forincidents occurring prior to the acquisition date unless they assumed the responsibility or in certain other circumstances. The law in certainother states on so called “successor liability” may be different or ambiguous in this regard. Most claimants alleging illnesses due to asbestossue on the basis of exposure prior to 1985, as by that date the hazards of asbestos exposure were well known and asbestos had begun to fallinto disuse in industrial settings. To date, asbestos claims have not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, resultsof operations, or cash flow, as our annual out-of-pocket costs over the last five years has been less than $200,000. There are typically fewerthan 100 cases filed against our subsidiary each year, and a similar number of cases are dismissed, settled or otherwise disposed of eachyear. We currently have fewer than 200 lawsuits pending against this subsidiary. Our subsidiary has over $17 million in face amount of peroccurrence and over $23 million of aggregate primary insurance coverage; a portion of the coverage has been eroded by payments made byinsurers. In addition, our subsidiary has over $950 million in face amount of excess coverage applicable to the claims. There can be noguarantee that all of this can be collected due to policy terms and conditions and insurer insolvencies in the past or in the future. In January2011, we entered into an agreement with seven of our primary insurers under which they have agreed to pay 80% of the costs of handlingand settling each asbestos claim against the affected subsidiary. After an initial period, and under certain circumstances, our subsidiary andthe subscribing insurers may withdraw from this agreement.Portland Harbor Superfund litigationIn May 2009, one of our subsidiaries (which is presently a dormant company with nominal assets except for rights under insurance policies)was named along with many defendants in a suit filed by the Port of Portland, Oregon seeking reimbursement of costs related to a five-yearstudy of contaminated sediments at the port. In March 2010, the subsidiary also received a notice letter from the EPA indicating that it hadbeen identified as a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental contamination in the "study area" for the Portland HarborSuperfund Site. Under a 1997 indemnity agreement, our subsidiary is indemnified by a third party with respect to losses relating toenvironmental contamination. As required under the indemnity agreement, our subsidiary provided notice of these claims, and theindemnitor has assumed responsibility and is providing a defense of the claims. Although we believe that it is unlikely that our subsidiarycontributed to the contamination at the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, the potential liability of our subsidiary and the ability of theindemnitor to fulfill its indemnity obligations cannot be quantified at this time.Item 4.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsThe following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with"Selected historical consolidated financial data" included under Item 6 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our financialstatements and related notes included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-lookingstatements based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our operations and the industry in which we operate.Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks anduncertainties, including those described in "Risk factors", "—Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements" and elsewherein this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.OverviewWe are a global oilfield products company, serving the subsea, drilling, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and naturalgas industry. We design, manufacture and distribute products, and engage in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services thatcomplement our product offering. Our product offering includes a mix of highly engineered capital products and frequently replaced items thatare used in the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas. Our capital products are directed at: drilling rigequipment for new rigs, upgrades and refurbishment projects; subsea construction and development projects; the placement of productionequipment on new producing wells; and downstream capital projects. Our engineered systems are critical components used on drilling rigsor in the course of subsea operations, while our consumable products are used to maintain efficient and safe operations at well sites in thewell construction process, within the supporting infrastructure and at processing centers and refineries. Historically, just over half of ourrevenue is derived from activity-based consumable products, while the balance is derived from capital products and a small amount fromrental and other services.We seek to design, manufacture and supply reliable products that create value for our diverse customer base, which includes, among others,oil and gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, well stimulation and intervention service providers, subsea construction andservice companies, and pipeline and refinery operators.We operate two business segments:•Drilling & Subsea segment. We design and manufacture products and provide related services to the subsea, drilling, wellconstruction, completion and intervention markets. Through this segment, we offer subsea technologies, including robotic vehiclesand other capital equipment, specialty components and tooling, a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rentalitems, and applied products for subsea pipelines; drilling technologies, including capital equipment and a broad line of productsconsumed in the drilling and well intervention process; and downhole technologies, including cementing and casing tools,completion products, and a range of downhole protection solutions.•Production & Infrastructure segment. We design and manufacture products and provide related equipment and services to the wellstimulation, completion, production and infrastructure markets. Through this segment, we supply flow equipment, including wellstimulation consumable products and related recertification and refurbishment services; production equipment, including well siteproduction equipment and process equipment; and valve solutions, which includes a broad range of industrial and process valves.Market ConditionsThe demand for our products and services is ultimately driven by energy prices and the expectation of exploration and production companiesas to future trends in those prices. Management believes that the long-term fundamentals underlying the global demand for energy, such aslong-term economic and demographic trends, remain strong. The level of demand for our products and services is directly related to activitylevels and the capital and operating budgets of our customers, which in turn are influenced heavily by the outlook for energy prices. 35The table below shows average crude oil and natural gas prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI), United Kingdom Brent crude oil(Brent), and Henry Hub natural gas: 2013 2012 2011Average global oil, $/bbl West Texas Intermediate $97.98 $94.10 $95.05United Kingdom Brent $108.64 $112.77 $111.77 Average North American Natural Gas, $/Mcf Henry Hub $3.73 $2.75 $4.00Crude oil prices appear adequate to generally maintain the current level of exploration and production activity, including the development ofdeepwater prospects, which stimulate demand for our subsea products and services. Current oil prices are also supporting a generally steadylevel of oil related activity, both offshore and onshore. Despite some improvement in 2013, low levels of North American natural gas priceshave negatively impacted certain areas of our business, principally those tied to products and services we provide to the pressure pumpingservice sector and the land based drilling industry. Corresponding to the commodity price levels, the average active rig count data below, based on the weekly Baker Hughes Incorporated rigcount, reflect a broad measure of industry activity and resultant demand for our drilling and production related products and services. 2013 2012 2011Active Rigs by Location United States 1,761 1,919 1,879Canada 353 364 419International 1,296 1,233 1,167Global Active Rigs 3,410 3,516 3,465 Land vs. Offshore Rigs Land 3,033 3,165 3,127Offshore 377 351 338Global Active Rigs 3,410 3,516 3,465 U.S. Commodity Target, Land Oil/Gas 1,373 1,359 984Gas 383 556 887Unclassified 5 4 8Total U.S. Land Rigs 1,761 1,919 1,879 U.S. Well Path, Land Horizontal 1,102 1,151 1,074Vertical 435 552 574Directional 224 216 231Total U.S. Active Land Rigs 1,761 1,919 1,879Generally, our sales are negatively impacted by lower rig activity, and the 8% decline in the average U.S. rig count in 2013 resulted in lowersales of some of our drilling products. While the rig count decreased, drilling efficiency has improved as a result of a shift in the compositionof the drilling rig fleet to newer, more efficient rigs. As a result, the number of wells drilled per rig has increased. If this trend continues, wellcompletions could grow at a faster pace than the drilling rig count.AcquisitionsOn July 1, 2013, we completed two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture for aggregate consideration of approximately $230.0million, each of which were financed with cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. The three transactions included thefollowing:36•B+V, a manufacturer of pipe handling equipment used on offshore and onshore drilling rigs with locations in Hamburg, Germany andWillis, Texas. B+V is included in the Drilling & Subsea segment;•Moffat, a Newcastle, England based manufacturer of subsea pipeline inspection gauge launching and receiving systems, and subseaconnectors. Moffat is included in the Drilling & Subsea segment; and•The joint purchase of Global Tubing with an equal partner, with management retaining a small interest. Global Tubing is a Dayton,Texas based provider of coiled tubing strings and related services. Our equity investment is reported in the Production & Infrastructuresegment and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.None of these transactions included potential future payments contingent on financial performance.We completed four acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2012, Syntech Technology, Incorporated, Wireline Solutions, LLC, Dynacon, Inc. andMerrimac Manufacturing, Inc., all of which are included in the Drilling & Subsea segment. We paid aggregate cash consideration ofapproximately $139.7 million for these acquisitions in 2012.We completed eight acquisitions in 2011, three of which are included in the Production & Infrastructure segment and five in the Drilling &Subsea segment.There are factors related to the businesses we have acquired that may result in lower net profit margins on a going-forward basis, primarilythe federal income tax status of the legal entity and the level of depreciation and amortization charges arising out of the accounting for thepurchase.For additional information regarding our 2013, 2012 and 2011 acquisitions, please read Note 3 and Note 4 of the Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Evaluation of operationsWe manage our operations through the two business segments described above. We have focused on implementing financial reporting andcontrols at all of our operations to accelerate the availability of critical information necessary to support informed decision making. We use anumber of financial and non-financial measures to routinely analyze and evaluate, on a segment and corporate level, the performance of ourbusiness. As an example of a non-financial measure, we measure our safety by tracking the total recordable incident rate and we considerthis as an indication of the quality of our products. Financial measures include the following:Revenue growth. We compare actual revenue achieved each month to the most recent estimate for that month and to the annual plan forthe month established at the beginning of the year. We monitor our revenue to analyze trends in the relative performance of each of ourproduct lines as compared to standard revenue drivers or market metrics applicable to that product. We are particularly interested inidentifying positive or negative trends and investigating to understand the root causes. In addition, we review these metrics on a quarterlybasis. We also evaluate changes in the mix of products sold and the resultant impact on reported gross margins.Gross margin percentage. We define gross margin percentage as our gross margin, or net sales minus cost of sales, divided by our netsales. Our management continually evaluates our consolidated gross margin percentage and our gross margin percentage by segment todetermine how each segment is performing. This metric aids management in capital resource allocation and pricing decisions.Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses includepayroll related costs for sales, marketing, administrative, accounting, information technology, certain engineering and human resourcesfunctions; audit, legal and other professional fees; insurance; franchise taxes not based on income; travel and entertainment; advertising andpromotions; bad debt expense; and other office and administrative related costs. Our management continually evaluates the level of ourselling, general and administrative expenses in relation to our revenue and makes appropriate changes in light of activity levels to preserveand improve our profitability while meeting the on-going support and regulatory requirements of the business.Operating income and operating margin percentage. We define operating income as revenue less cost of goods sold less selling, generaland administrative expenses. We define our operating margin percentage as operating income divided by revenue. These metrics assistmanagement in evaluating the performance of each segment as a whole, especially to determine whether the amount of administrativeburden is appropriate to support current business activity levels.Earnings per share. We calculate fully-diluted earnings per share as prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),that is net income divided by common shares outstanding, giving effect for the assumed exercise37of all outstanding options and warrants with a strike price less than the average fair value of the shares over the period covered for thecalculation. We believe this measure is important as it reflects the sum total of operating results and all attendant capital decisions, showingin one number the amount earned for the stockholders of our Company.Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net income, increased by non-cash charges included in net income (e.g., depreciation andamortization and deferred income taxes), increased or decreased by changes in net working capital, less capital expenditures. We believe thatthis measure is important because it encompasses both profitability and capital management in evaluating results. Free cash flow representsthe business’ contribution in the generation of funds available to pay debt outstanding, invest in other areas, or return funds to ourstockholders.Factors affecting the comparability of our future results of operations to our historical results of operationsOur future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented, primarily for thefollowing reasons:•On April 17, 2012, we sold 13,889,470 shares of common stock in the IPO and 2,666,666 shares of common stock in a privateplacement to a private equity fund (not affiliated with the original sponsor) for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $256.4million and $50 million, respectively. We used all of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolvingportion of the Credit Facility.•Since 2011, we have grown our business both organically and through strategic acquisitions. We have expanded and diversified ourproduct portfolio and business lines with the acquisition of two businesses and our joint venture investment in 2013, four businesses in2012 and eight businesses in 2011. The historical financial data for periods prior to the acquisitions does not include the results of any ofthe acquired companies for the periods presented and, as such, does not provide an accurate indication of our future results.•As we integrate acquired companies and further implement internal controls, processes and infrastructure to operate in compliance withthe regulatory requirements applicable to companies with publicly traded shares, it is likely that we will incur incremental selling, generaland administrative expenses relative to historical periods.Our future results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our combined operations and execute our business strategy.38Results of operationsYear ended December 31, 2013 compared with year ended December 31, 2012 Year ended December 31, Favorable / (Unfavorable) 2013 2012 $ %(in thousands of dollars, except per share information) Revenue: Drilling & Subsea$940,807 $826,500 $114,307 13.8 %Production & Infrastructure585,495 589,204 (3,709) (0.6)%Eliminations(1,491) (771) (720) *Total revenue$1,524,811 $1,414,933 $109,878 7.8 %Cost of sales: Drilling & Subsea$616,543 $529,294 $(87,249) (16.5)%Production & Infrastructure434,534 423,353 (11,181) (2.6)%Eliminations(1,491) (771) 720 *Total cost of sales$1,049,586 $951,876 $(97,710) (10.3)%Gross profit: Drilling & Subsea$324,264 $297,206 $27,058 9.1 %Production & Infrastructure150,961 165,851 (14,890) (9.0)%Total gross profit$475,225 $463,057 $12,168 2.6 %Selling, general and administrative expenses: Drilling & Subsea$168,436 $136,046 $(32,390) (23.8)%Production & Infrastructure71,802 68,594 (3,208) (4.7)%Corporate29,431 20,628 (8,803) (42.7)%Total selling, general and administrative expenses$269,669 $225,268 $(44,401) (19.7)%Operating income: Drilling & Subsea$155,828 $161,160 $(5,332) (3.3)%Operating income margin %16.6% 19.5% Production & Infrastructure86,471 97,257 (10,786) (11.1)%Operating income margin %14.8% 16.5% Corporate(29,431) (20,628) (8,803) (42.7)%Total segment operating income$212,868 $237,789 $(24,921) (10.5)%Operating income margin %14.0% 16.8% Contingent consideration expense (benefit)— (4,568) (4,568) *Impairment of intangible assets— 1,161 1,161 *Transaction expenses2,700 1,751 (949) (54.2)%(Gain)/loss on sale of assets614 (1,435) (2,049) (142.8)%Income from operations209,554 240,880 (31,326) (13.0)%Interest expense, net18,370 16,372 (1,998) (12.2)%Other, net2,953 1,713 (1,240) *Deferred loan costs written off2,149 — (2,149) 100.0 %Other (income) expense, net23,472 18,085 (5,387) (29.8)%Income before income taxes186,082 222,795 (36,713) (16.5)%Income tax expense56,478 71,265 14,787 20.7 %Net income129,604 151,530 (21,926) (14.5)%Less: Income attributable to non-controlling interest65 74 (9) *Income attributable to common stockholders$129,539 $151,456 $(21,917) (14.5)% Weighted average shares outstanding Basic90,697 80,111 Diluted94,604 86,937 Earnings per share Basic$1.43 $1.89 Diluted$1.37 $1.74 * not meaningful 39RevenueOur revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $109.9 million, or 7.8%, to $1,524.8 million compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our Drilling & Subsea segment and our Production & Infrastructure segmentcomprised 61.6% and 38.4% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 58.4% and 41.6%, respectively, for the year endedDecember 31, 2012. The revenue changes by operating segment consisted of the following:Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue increased $114.3 million, or 13.8%, to $940.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2013compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in revenue is attributable to acquisitions in the third quarter 2013 and fourthquarter 2012, contributing $166.0 million in incremental revenue, offset by lower sales of other drilling products and equipment on reduceddrilling activity levels.Production & Infrastructure segment - Revenue decreased $3.7 million, or 0.6%, to $585.5 million during the year ended December 31,2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The net decrease in revenue was driven by 18.7% lower sales of our well stimulationproducts, as orders remain at depressed levels compared to 2012 on lower utilization of our customers' pressure pumping equipment. Thisdecrease is partially offset by 10.6% higher sales of our surface production equipment.Segment operating income and segment operating margin percentageSegment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $24.9 million, or 10.5%, to $212.9 million compared to theyear ended December 31, 2012.The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue.For the year ended December 31, 2013, the segment operating margin percentage of 14.0% represents a decline of 280 basis points from the16.8% operating margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed further below, the decrease in operating marginpercentage arose on drilling and well stimulation products as reduced activity levels in these areas resulted in higher fixed cost per unit sold.The Company undertook several actions during the third and fourth quarter 2013 to adjust its cost structure in line with lower NorthAmerican activity levels. Segment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 included $7.7 million in principally non-cashcharges for severance and facility closures. In addition, equity in earnings from the Company’s investment in Global Tubing included a $0.8million charge for transaction expenses related to the initial investment. The change in operating margin percentage for each segment isexplained as follows:Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage declined 290 basis points to 16.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013,from 19.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Excluding the severance and facility closure charges, the adjusted operating marginpercentage of 17.3% is down 220 basis points compared to the year earlier period. The decline in operating margin percentage is primarilyattributable to drilling products, with most of that decline occurring in the first half of the year. International orders for drilling products receivedin the first half of 2013 had longer lead times compared to our historical experience, with delivery in late 2013 and early 2014. We carried ahigher cost base into 2013 on the expectation of improving drilling activity levels; however, as revenue declined in the first half of the year,our margins suffered. The cost saving measures implemented in the second half of the year, coupled with increased shipments of the longerdated international orders received in the first half of the year, contributed to good margin recovery for drilling products in the second half of2013. We also experienced a decline in our downhole products operating margin percentage as a higher proportion of shipments weredestined for lower margin international projects.Production & Infrastructure segment — Operating margin percentage declined 170 basis points to 14.8% for the year ended December 31,2013, from 16.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decline in operating margin percentage is attributable to lower margins in wellstimulation products on significantly lower activity levels and increased pricing competition. The decline was offset partially by the inclusion of$7.3 million of equity in earnings of the Global Tubing LLC joint venture in the second half of 2013.Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate increased $8.8 million, or 42.7%, for the year endedDecember 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 due to higher personnel costs and various professional fees primarilyassociated with being a publicly traded company and complying with applicable regulations. Corporate costs included, among other items,payroll related costs for general management and management of finance and administration, legal, human resources and informationtechnology; professional fees for external legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs. Corporate costs also included $0.4million in severance charges in 2013.40Other itemsSeveral items are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income. These items include: transactionexpenses, gains/losses from the sale of assets, contingent consideration and impairment of intangible assets. Transaction expenses relate tolegal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are not considered to be part of segment operating income. Including $0.8million reported as part of equity in earnings of Global Tubing LLC, transaction costs were $3.5 million for the year ended December 31,2013, for two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture all closed effective July 1, 2013, and $1.8 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2012. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information.The contingent consideration credit recorded during the year ended December 31, 2012 was related to two acquisitions in 2011 in which partof the purchase price was payable in cash and/or shares of the our common stock based on the earnings of the acquired entities through theend of 2012. The net change in the accrual was recorded as part of operating income, and the reduction in this obligation resulted in anincrease to operating income of $4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, animpairment loss of $1.2 million was recorded on certain intangible assets resulting from a lack of orders related to a specific service line.Other income and expenseOther income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and deferred loan costs written off. We incurred$18.4 million of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $2.0 million from the year ended December 31,2012. The increase in interest expense was partially attributable to an increase in debt incurred to finance the two acquisitions and aninvestment in a joint venture completed in the third quarter 2013, and a higher interest rate under our Senior Notes issued in the fourthquarter 2013 compared to the variable interest rate under our Credit Facility. The term loan under our Credit Facility was paid off from the netproceeds on our Senior Notes. Accordingly, unamortized debt issue costs of $2.1 million associated with the term loan were charged toexpense during 2013.TaxesTax expense includes current income taxes expected to be due based on taxable income to be reported during the periods in the variousjurisdictions in which we conduct business, and deferred income taxes based on changes in the tax effect of temporary differences betweenthe bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes at the beginning and end of the respective periods. The effective taxrate, calculated by dividing total tax expense by income before income taxes, was 30.4% and 32.0% for the years ended December 31, 2013and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 is lower than the comparable period in 2012 primarilydue to a higher proportion of our earnings being generated outside the United States in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates and due to areduction in the tax provision from the finalization of certain prior year tax returns.41Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to year ended December 31, 2011 Year ended December 31, Favorable / (Unfavorable) 2012 2011 $ %(in thousands of dollars, except per share information) Revenue: Drilling & Subsea$826,500 $659,430 $167,070 25.3 %Production & Infrastructure589,204 468,701 120,503 25.7 %Eliminations(771) — $(771) *Total revenue$1,414,933 $1,128,131 $286,802 25.4 %Cost of sales: Drilling & Subsea$529,294 $433,836 $(95,458) (22.0)%Production & Infrastructure423,353 331,834 (91,519) (27.6)%Eliminations(771) — $771 *Total cost of sales$951,876 $765,670 $(186,206) (24.3)%Gross profit: Drilling & Subsea$297,206 $225,594 $71,612 31.7 %Production & Infrastructure165,851 136,867 28,984 21.2 %Total gross profit$463,057 $362,461 $100,596 27.8 %Selling, general and administrative expenses: Drilling & Subsea$136,046 $107,667 $(28,379) (26.4)%Production & Infrastructure68,594 58,870 (9,724) (16.5)%Corporate20,628 20,237 (391) (1.9)%Total selling, general and administrative expenses$225,268 $186,774 $(38,494) (20.6)%Operating income: Drilling & Subsea$161,160 $117,927 $43,233 36.7 %Operating income margin %19.5% 17.9% Production & Infrastructure97,257 77,997 19,260 24.7 %Operating income margin %16.5% 16.6% Corporate(20,628) (20,237) (391) (1.9)%Total segment operating income$237,789 $175,687 $62,102 35.3 %Operating income margin %16.8% 15.6% Contingent consideration expense (benefit)(4,568) 12,100 16,668 *Impairment of intangible assets1,161 — (1,161) *Transaction expenses1,751 3,608 1,857 (51.5)%(Gain)/loss on sale of assets(1,435) (634) 801 126.3 %Income from operations240,880 160,613 80,267 (50.0)%Interest expense, net16,372 19,532 3,160 16.2 %Other, net1,713 378 (1,335) *Other (income) expense, net18,085 19,910 1,825 9.2 %Income before income taxes222,795 140,703 82,092 58.3 %Income tax expense71,265 47,110 (24,155) (51.3)%Net income151,530 93,593 57,937 61.9 %Less: Income attributable to non-controlling interest74 251 (177) *Income attributable to common stockholders$151,456 $93,342 $58,114 62.3 % Weighted average shares outstanding Basic80,111 63,270 Diluted86,937 67,488 Earnings per share Basic$1.89 $1.48 Diluted$1.74 $1.38 * not meaningful 42RevenueOur revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $286.8 million, or 25.4%, to $1,414.9 million compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our Drilling & Subsea segment and our Production & Infrastructure segmentcomprised 58.4% and 41.6% of our total revenue, respectively, which was consistent with the year ended December 31, 2011. All of ourproduct lines had increased revenue in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year. The revenue increase by operatingsegment consisted of the following:Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue increased $167.1 million, or 25.3%, to $826.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Of the increase, $55.1 million, or 33%, was attributable to organic initiatives. The organicgrowth contributions arose primarily from increased sales of hydraulic catwalk units and blowout preventers in the drilling technologiesproduct line, and increased sales of work-class remotely operated vehicles in the Subsea Technologies product line. Of the increase, $112.0million, or 67%, was primarily attributable to operations acquired in 2011. The operations acquired in 2011 that were not owned for the fullyear ended December 31, 2011 included drilling products from AMC Global Group, Ltd. ("AMC") and P-Quip, Ltd. ("P-Quip") and downholeproducts from Davis-Lynch, LLC ("Davis-Lynch") and Cannon Services ("Cannon"). Additionally, four operations were acquired during thefourth quarter of 2012 and these acquisitions relate to all three product lines within Drilling & Subsea.Production & Infrastructure segment — Revenue increased $120.5 million, or 25.7%, to $589.2 million during the year endedDecember 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Of the increase, $85.6 million, or 71%, was attributable to organicinitiatives attributable to higher market demand in both production equipment and valve solutions products and orders from new customers.The higher shipments were made possible for production equipment by the expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new facilities inPennsylvania, each completed throughout 2011. Of the increase, $34.9 million, or 29%, was attributable to operations acquired in 2011 thatwere not owned for the full year ended December 31, 2011 including the three acquisitions that make up the flow equipment product line.Segment operating income and segment operating margin percentageSegment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $62.1 million, or 35.3%, to $237.8 million compared to theyear ended December 31, 2011.The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue.For the year ended December 31, 2012, the segment operating margin percentage of 16.8% represents an improvement of 120 basis pointsover the 15.6% operating margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2011. The improvement in operating margin percentageachieved in each segment was derived as follows:Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage improved 160 basis points to 19.5% for the year ended December 31,2012, up from 17.9% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The margin improvement was due to manufacturing efficiencies on the higherrevenue in the subsea technologies and drilling technologies product lines as well as improved product mix from the full year contribution ofacquisitions made in 2011 and 2012. Offsetting the higher gross margins were slightly higher selling, general and administrative costs as apercentage of revenue attributable to the amortization of intangible assets of the businesses acquired in 2011 and 2012.Production & Infrastructure segment — Operating margin percentage showed a slight decline of 10 basis points to 16.5% for the year endedDecember 31, 2012, from 16.6% for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to lower margins in the Flow Equipment product linedue to the deterioration in this market which reduced demand for our products significantly starting in the second quarter 2012. The pressurepumping service providers, our customers, experienced excess capacity of new capital equipment and supplies during the year and thesecompanies began to destock inventory they purchased during prior periods. Offsetting the lower margins in the flow equipment product linewere modest price increases on certain valve products. Also positively impacting our operating margins were lower selling, general andadministrative costs as a percent of revenue, which was attributable to tighter controls.Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate increased slightly by $0.4 million, or 1.9%, for the year endedDecember 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Corporate costs included, among other items, payroll related costs forgeneral management and management of finance and administration, legal, and human resources; professional fees for legal, accountingand related services; and marketing costs.43Other itemsSeveral items are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income. These items include: contingentconsideration, impairment of intangible assets, transaction expenses and gains/losses from the sale of assets. The contingent considerationwe incurred was related to two acquisitions in 2011 in the Flow Equipment product line in which part of the purchase price was payable incash and/or shares of our common stock based on the earnings of the acquired entities. The change in the amount of the accrual is recordedas part of operating income. Lower projected earnings of the acquired entities resulted in an increase to operating income of $4.6 million forthe year ended December 31, 2012 due to lower contingent consideration, whereas higher projected earnings of the acquired entities resultedin a decrease to operating income of $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the second quarter 2012, an impairmentloss of $1.2 million was recorded on certain intangible assets as a result of a lack of orders for a specific service line within the Production &Infrastructure segment. Transaction expenses relate to legal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are notconsidered to be part of segment operating income. These costs were $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012and 2011, respectively.Interest expenseWe incurred $16.4 million of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $3.2 million from the year endedDecember 31, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a lower debt level as we repaid a portion of our debt from the netproceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement during the second quarter 2012, partially offset by an increase in debt levels incurred tofinance the four acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2012.TaxesTax expense includes current income taxes expected to be due based on taxable income to be reported during the periods in the variousjurisdictions in which we conduct business, and deferred income taxes based on changes in the tax effect of temporary differences betweenthe bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes at the beginning and end of the respective periods. The effective taxrate, calculated by dividing total tax expense by income before income taxes, was 32.0% and 33.5% for the years ended December 31, 2012and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 is lower than the comparable period in 2011 primarily dueto a reduction in the tax provision from the finalization of certain prior year tax returns.Liquidity and capital resourcesSources and uses of liquidityOur internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources have included ourCredit Facility described below, trade credit, the issuance of our senior notes described below and sales of our common stock. Our primaryuses of capital have been for acquisitions, ongoing maintenance and growth capital expenditures, inventories and sales on credit to ourcustomers. We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidityrequirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to continue to access outside sources of capital.At December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.6 million and total debt of $513.1 million. During the year endedDecember 31, 2013, we used the net proceeds from the issuance of $400.0 million of 6.25% senior notes to repay a portion of theoutstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. See “—Senior Notes Due 2021.”We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fundoperations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations for the foreseeable future.Our total 2014 capital expenditure budget is approximately $60.0 million, which consists of, among other items, investments in constructingor expanding certain manufacturing facilities, purchasing machinery and equipment, expanding our rental fleet of subsea equipment, andgeneral maintenance capital expenditures of approximately $25.0 million. This budget does not include expenditures for potential businessacquisitions.The amount of capital expenditures incurred in 2013 was $60.3 million. These expenditures were funded from borrowings under our CreditFacility, the issuance of our senior notes and internally generated funds. We believe cash flows from operations and additional borrowingsunder the Credit Facility should be sufficient to fund our capital requirements for 2014.44Although we do not budget for acquisitions, pursuing growth through acquisitions is a significant part of our business strategy. We expandedand diversified our product portfolio with the acquisition of two businesses and our joint venture investment in 2013 for total consideration(net of cash acquired) of approximately $230.0 million, and four businesses in 2012 for total consideration (net of cash acquired) ofapproximately $139.3 million. We used cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Facility to finance these acquisitions. We continue toactively review acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis. Our ability to make significant additional acquisitions for cash may require usto obtain additional equity or debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or at all.Our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are presented below (in millions): Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011Net cash provided by operating activities$211.4 $137.9 $39.3Net cash used in investing activities(289.0) (184.5) (550.1)Net cash provided by financing activities77.1 65.8 510.1Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents(1.5) 20.5 0.2Free cash flow, before acquisitions$152.1 $100.4 $(1.0)Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income, increased by non-cash charges included in net income (e.g.,depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes), increased or decreased by changes in net working capital, less capital expendituresfor property and equipment net of proceeds from sale of property and equipment and other, plus the payment of contingent considerationincluded in operating activities. Management believes free cash flow is an important measure because it encompasses both profitability andcapital management in evaluating results.

Cash provided by operations increased as a result of reduced investments in working capital as compared to the prior year,primarily inventory, which added $33.1 million as compared to the use of cash of $100.3 million in the prior year. Offsetting the positiveimpacts of the reduced investments in working capital was a decrease in net income to $129.5 million for the year ended December 31,2013, from $151.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.Net cash provided by operating activities was $137.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $39.3 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2011. Net income increased to $151.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, from $93.6 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2011, which resulted in a positive impact on cash flows from operations. Cash provided by operations also increased as aresult of reduced investments in working capital as compared to the prior year. For example, there was a positive impact to cash flows fromoperations of $75.2 million as compared to the prior year from the changes in accounts receivable due to collection efforts. This increase inoperating cash flows due to the change in account receivables is partially offset by the increase in inventories and a decrease in accountspayable and other accrued liabilities.Our operating cash flows are sensitive to a number of variables, the most significant of which is the level of drilling and production activity foroil and natural gas reserves. These activity levels are in turn impacted by the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, regional and worldwideeconomic activity and its effect on demand for hydrocarbons, weather,45infrastructure capacity to reach markets and other variable factors. These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Foradditional information on the impact of changing prices on our financial position, see "Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about marketrisk" below.Cash flows used in investing activitiesNet cash used in investing activities was $289.0 million and $184.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a$104.5 million increase. Of this increase, $229.7 million was used to fund the acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2013compared with $139.9 million used for acquisitions in the year ended December 31, 2012. Additionally, a higher investment in property andequipment of $60.3 million was made during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared an investment of $49.7 million during the yearended December 31, 2012.Net cash used in investing activities was $184.5 million and $550.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011,respectively, a $365.6 million decrease. Of this decrease, $139.9 million was used to fund the acquisitions during the year endedDecember 31, 2012 compared with $509.9 million used for acquisitions in the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was partiallyoffset by a higher investment in property and equipment of $49.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to aninvestment of $41.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2011.Other than capital required for acquisitions, we expect to fund all maintenance and other growth capital expenditures from our current cashon hand and from internally generated funds.Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activitiesNet cash provided by financing activities was $77.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and consisted primarily of net proceedsfrom our issuance of the senior notes and other borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, net of long-term debtrepayment, contingent consideration payment and deferred financing costs. The net proceeds from the senior notes issuance were used torepay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility.Net cash provided by financing activities was $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and consisted primarily of net proceedsfrom our IPO and concurrent private placement which were used to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolvingportion of the Credit Facility, and payment of contingent consideration with respect to acquisitions.Net cash provided by financing activities was $510.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily from net draws on the CreditFacility of $458.4 million and proceeds from stock issuances of $57.0 million.Senior Notes Due 2021In October 2013, we issued $300.0 million of 6.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021 at par, and in November 2013 we issued anadditional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes at 103.25% of par, plus accrued interest from October 2, 2013 (the "SeniorNotes"). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and mature on October1, 2021. Net proceeds from the issuances of approximately $394.0 million, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and offeringexpenses and excluding accrued interest paid by the purchasers, were used for the repayment of the then-outstanding term loan balance anda portion of the revolving Credit Facility balance.The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture, dated October 2, 2013 (the “Indenture”), by and among us, the guarantorsnamed therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations,are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility and rank junior to, among otherindebtedness, the Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Credit Facility. The Senior Notes contain customarycovenants including some limitations and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on, purchase or redeem our common stock or purchaseor redeem our subordinated debt; make certain investments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of equitysecurities; create certain liens, sell assets, including equity interests in our restricted subsidiaries; redeem or prepay subordinated debt;restrict dividends or other payments of our restricted subsidiaries; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; engagein transactions with affiliates; and create unrestricted subsidiaries. Many of these restrictions will terminate if the Senior Notes become ratedinvestment grade. The Indenture also contains customary events of default, including nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture,payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Weare required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes in connection with specified change in control events or with excess proceeds of assetsales not applied for permitted purposes.46Credit FacilityWe have a Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and several financial institutions as lenders,which provides for a $600.0 million revolving credit facility, including up to $75.0 million available for letters of credit and up to $25.0 millionin swingline loans. Subject to terms of the Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the revolving Credit Facility by an additional $300.0million. In November 2013, we amended our Credit Facility, to, among other things, change certain of the ratios under financial covenantspreviously required to be maintained by us on a consolidated basis and to extend the maturity date to November 2018. Weighted averageinterest rates under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 2.17% and 2.21%, respectively.All of the obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens (subject to permitted liens) on substantially all of the assets ofthe Company and its wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, with exceptions for real property and certain other assets set forth in theCredit Facility. Additionally, all of the obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiariesof the Company. As of December 31, 2013, we had $108.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility and $16.6 million ofoutstanding letters of credit and the capacity to borrow an additional $475.4 million under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility.Future borrowings under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility will be available for working capital and other general corporate purposes,including permitted acquisitions. It is anticipated that the revolving portion of the Credit Facility will be available to be drawn on and repaidduring the term thereof as long as we are in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, including certain financial covenants.The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to grant certain liens, make certain loans andinvestments, make distributions, enter into mergers or acquisitions unless certain conditions are satisfied, enter into hedging transactions,change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions or engage in certain asset dispositions.Additionally, the Credit Facility limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness with certain exceptions, including the ability to incur up to$150.0 million of additional unsecured debt, $25.0 million of capital leases, $30.0 million of foreign overdraft lines and $50.0 million of otherdebt.The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, among other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specifiedfinancial ratios or conditions summarized as follows:•Total funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA") (defined as the "Leverage Ratio" in theCredit Facility) of not more than 4.50 to 1.0;•Senior secured debt to adjusted EBITDA (defined as the "Senior Secured Leverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not more than3.50 to 1.0; and•EBITDA to interest expense (defined as the "Interest Coverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2013 and we anticipate that we will continue to be in compliance in2014.Under the Credit Facility, EBITDA is defined to generally exclude the effect of non-cash items, and to give pro forma effect to acquisitions andnon-ordinary course asset sales (with adjustments to EBITDA of the acquired businesses or related to the sold assets to be made inaccordance with the guidelines for pro forma presentations set forth by the SEC or in a manner otherwise reasonably acceptable to theAdministrative Agent under the Credit Facility). The EBITDA of Global Tubing is excluded until such time as it is distributed cash to theCompany.We have the ability to elect the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facility. Interest under the Credit Facility may bedetermined by reference to (1) the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin which ranges from 1.50% to 3.50%per annum (with the applicable margin depending upon our ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA) or (2) the Adjusted Base Rate plus anapplicable margin which ranges from 0.00% to 2.00% per annum (with the applicable margin depending upon our ratio of total funded debt toEBITDA). The Adjusted Base Rate will be equal to the highest of (1) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank ofNew York, plus one half of 1.0%, (2) the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as established from time to time at itsprincipal U.S. office and (3) daily LIBOR for an interest period of one-month plus 1.0%.Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of each interest period for LIBOR loans, except that if the interest period for aLIBOR loan is longer than three months, interest is paid at the end of each three-month period.The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of 0.25% to 0.50% per annum (with the applicable rate depending uponour ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA) on the unused portion of revolving commitments.47If an event of default exists under the Credit Facility, lenders holding greater than 50% of the aggregate outstanding loans and letter of creditobligations and unfunded revolving commitments have the right to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the CreditFacility and exercise other rights and remedies. Each of the following constitutes an event of default under the Credit Facility:•Failure to pay any principal when due or any interest, fees or other amount within certain grace periods;•Representations and warranties in the Credit Facility or other loan documents being incorrect or misleading in any material respect;•Failure to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants in the Credit Facility or other loan documents, subject, in certaininstances, to grace periods;•Impairment of security under the loan documents affecting collateral having a fair market value in excess of $25 million;•The actual or asserted invalidity of any material provisions of the guarantees of the indebtedness under the Credit Facility;•Default by us or our restricted subsidiaries in the payment of any other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $50million, any default in the performance of any obligation or condition with respect to such indebtedness beyond the applicable graceperiod if the effect of the default is to permit or cause the acceleration of the indebtedness, or such indebtedness will be declared dueand payable prior to its scheduled maturity;•Bankruptcy or insolvency events involving us or our restricted subsidiaries;•The entry, and failure to pay, of one or more adverse judgments in excess of $50 million, upon which enforcement proceedings arecommenced or that are not stayed pending appeal; and•The occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Credit Facility).Off-balance sheet arrangementsAs of December 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet instruments or financial arrangements, other than operating leases entered into inthe ordinary course of business.Contractual obligationsOur debt, lease and financial obligations as of December 31, 2013 will mature and become due and payable according to the following table(in thousands): 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 After 2018 TotalSenior notes due October 2021 (1) $25,000 $25,000$25,000 $25,000 $25,000 $468,750 $593,750Senior secured credit facility (2) 2,344 2,344 2,344 2,344 109,953 — 119,329Other debt 998 869 — — — — 1,867Operating leases 16,148 14,724 13,310 9,972 7,483 27,104 88,741Letters of credit 11,974 2,697 1,907 — — — 16,578Pension 414 568 423 409 416 5,573 7,803Total $56,878 $46,202 $42,984 $37,725 $142,852 $501,427 $828,068(1) Includes 8 years of interest on $400 million of senior notes at 6.25% that become due in 2021.(2) Includes interest on the Credit Facility calculated using the weighted average interest rate of 2.17% at December 31, 2013.InflationGlobal inflation has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations during 2013, 2012 or2011. Although the impact of inflation has been insignificant in recent years, it is still a factor in the global economy and we tend to experienceinflationary pressure on the cost of raw materials and components used in our products.48Critical accounting policies and estimatesThe discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, whichhave been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financialstatements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expensesand related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extentthat there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if differentassumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historicalexperience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results maydiffer from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We provide expanded discussionof our most critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments below. We believe that these accounting policies reflect our more significantestimates and assumptions used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.Revenue recognitionThe substantial majority of our revenue is recognized when the associated goods are shipped and title passes to the customer or whenservices have been rendered, as long as all of the criteria for recognition described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated FinancialStatements in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been met. The onlyrevenue recognition criteria requiring judgment on these sales is assurance of collectability. We carefully evaluate creditworthiness of ourcustomers before extending payment terms other than cash upfront, and historically we have not incurred significant losses for bad debt.Revenue generated from long-term contracts, typically longer than six months in duration, is recognized on the percentage-of-completionmethod of accounting. Approximately 11% of our 2013 revenue was accounted for on this basis. There are significant estimates andjudgments involved in recognizing revenue over the term of the contract. For that portion of our business accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method, we generally recognize revenue and cost of goods sold each period based upon the advancement of the work-in-progress.The percentage complete is determined based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for the project. The percentage-of-completion method requires management to calculate reasonably dependable estimates of progress towards completion and total contractcosts. Each period these long-term contracts are reevaluated and may result in upward or downward revisions in estimated total costs, whichare accounted for in the period of the change to reflect a catch up adjustment for the cumulative impact from inception of the contract to date inthe period of the revision. Whenever revisions of estimated contract costs and contract value indicates that the contract costs will exceedestimated revenue, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss is recorded in that period.Revenue from the rental of equipment or providing of services is recognized over the period when the asset is rented or services are renderedand collectability is reasonably assured. Rates for asset rental and service provision are priced on a per day, per man hour, or similar basis.There are typically delays in receiving some field tickets reporting utilization of equipment or personnel requiring us to make estimates forrevenue recognition in the period. In the following period, these estimates are adjusted to actual field tickets received late.Share-based compensationWe account for awards of share-based compensation at fair value on the date granted to employees and recognize the compensation expensein the financial statements over the requisite service period. Fair value of the share-based compensation was measured using the fair valueof the common stock for restricted stock and restricted stock units, the Black-Scholes model for most of the outstanding options, and a latticemodel for performance share units. These models require assumptions and estimates for inputs, especially the estimate of the volatility inthe value of the underlying share price, that affect the resultant values and hence the amount of compensation expense recognized.InventoriesInventory, consisting of finished goods and materials and supplies held for resale, is carried at the lower of cost or market. We evaluate ourinventories, based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales experience and future sales forecasts, to determine obsolete, slow-moving and excess inventory. While we have policies for calculating and recording reserves against inventory carrying values, we exercisejudgment in establishing and applying these policies.49Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assetsGoodwill acquired in connection with business combinations represents the excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired.Certain assumptions and estimates are employed in determining the fair value of assets acquired, evaluating the fair value of liabilitiesassumed, as well as in determining the allocation of goodwill to the appropriate reporting unit. These estimates may be affected by factorssuch as changing market conditions, technological advances in the oil and natural gas industry or changes in regulations governing thatindustry. The most significant assumptions requiring the most judgment involve identifying and estimating the fair value of intangible assetsand the associated useful lives for establishing amortization periods. To finalize purchase accounting for significant acquisitions, we utilize theservices of independent valuation specialists to assist in the determination of the fair value of acquired intangible assets.There are also significant judgments involved in estimating the value of any contingent purchase consideration, for example, additional cashor stock consideration to be earned based on the future results of the acquired business. The value of this potential additional consideration isrequired to be estimated and recorded as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition in the period when the transaction is effective.Each quarter these estimates must be reevaluated based on actual results achieved and changes in circumstances, and the contingentconsideration marked-to-market with any change in value reflected in profit and loss for the period.For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or whenever an eventindicating impairment may have occurred. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-livedintangibles using an assessment date of December 31. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of eachreporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. As of December 31, 2013, we had sixreporting units. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of areporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenuegrowth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital, and future market conditions, among others. We believe that theestimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fairvalue, a second step is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in ahypothetical purchase price allocation analysis. We recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value ofgoodwill exceeds its reassessed fair value. At December 31, 2013, we performed our annual impairment test on each of our reporting unitsand concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units substantially exceededits carrying value.Income taxesWe follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determinedbased upon temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of our assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and aremeasured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation reservewhenever management believes that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset will not be realized. We must apply judgment inassessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, including estimating our future taxable income, to predict whether a future cash taxreduction will be realized from the deferred tax asset. Any changes in the valuation allowance due to changes in circumstances and estimatesare recognized in income tax expense in the period the change occurs.The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determiningthat the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. If a tax position meets the "more likely thannot" recognition criteria, the accounting guidance requires the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50%likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If management determines that likelihood of sustaining the realization of the tax benefit isless than or equal to 50%, then the tax benefit is not recognized in the financial statements.We have operations in countries other than the United States. Consequently, we are subject to the jurisdiction of a number of taxingauthorities. The final determination of tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties, and related authorities in eachjurisdiction. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law or interpretation of tax law and currency repatriationcontrols, could impact the determination of our tax liabilities for a given tax year.50Property and equipmentProperty and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based onthe estimated useful lives of assets, generally 3 to 20 years. We have established standard lives for certain classes of assets.We review long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of along-lived asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for impairment, future cash flows expected to result from the use of theasset and its eventual disposal are estimated. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, there isan indication that the asset may be impaired. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value andthe estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined either through the use of an external valuation, or by means of an analysisof discounted future cash flows based on expected utilization. The impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the assets carryingvalue as compared to its estimated fair value.Recognition of provisions for contingenciesIn the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, suits and complaints. We, in consultation with internal and externaladvisors, will provide for a contingent loss in the consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the dateof the consolidated financial statements and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If it is determined that the reasonable estimate of theloss is a range and that there is no best estimate within the range, provision will be made for the lower amount of the range. Legal costs areexpensed as incurred.An assessment is made of the areas where potential claims may arise under the contract warranty clauses. Where a specific risk is identifiedand the potential for a claim is assessed as probable and can be reasonably estimated, an appropriate warranty provision is recorded.Warranty provisions are eliminated at the end of the warranty period except where warranty claims are still outstanding. The liability forproduct warranty is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.Recent accounting pronouncementsIn December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures aboutOffsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11") and in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210):Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"). The issuance of ASU 2013-01 limited the scopeof ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financialstatements or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 and it did nothave a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This update requiresdisclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effecton the respective line items of net income. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 with the appropriate disclosures and it did nothave a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.In July 2012, the FASB amended the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) of the Accounting Standards Codification that allowsentities to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is lessthan its carrying amount. If, after assessing the relevant information, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is morethan the carrying amount, no additional work is necessary. If an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than thecarrying amount, then the entity is required to proceed to the quantitative approach. The amended guidance is effective for us in the annualtest in the fourth quarter of 2013 and adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statementsThis Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section21E of the Exchange Act.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market riskWe are currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. From time to time, we may enterinto derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce our market risk, but we do not enter into derivative transactions forspeculative purposes. A discussion of our market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.Non-U.S. currency exchange ratesIn certain regions, we conduct our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the functional currency is the applicable localcurrency. We operate primarily in the U.S., Canadian and UK markets, and as a result our primary exposure to fluctuations in currencyexchange rates relates to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and each of the Canadian dollar, the British pound sterling, the Euro, and, to alesser degree, the Mexican Peso and the Singapore dollar. In countries in which we operate in the local currency, the effects of currencyfluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses of such operations are also generally denominated in the local currency. There maybe instances, however, in which costs and revenue will not be matched with respect to currency denomination and we may experienceeconomic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extentthat we continue our expansion on a global basis, management expects that increasing portions of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities willbe subject to fluctuations in foreign currency valuations.Assets and liabilities for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balancesheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equitysection on our consolidated balance sheet. We recorded $7.7 million in net foreign currency translation gain, net of tax, that is included inother comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 to reflect the net impact of the general strengthening of other applicablecurrencies against the U.S. dollar. This translation gain was caused by the relative strengthening of the Euro and the British pound sterling,as the Euro appreciated 6% relative to the U.S. dollar from the time of closing on the B+V transaction to December 31, 2013, and the Britishpound sterling appreciated 2% from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.Interest ratesAt December 31, 2013, our long-term debt consisted of $403.2 million in 6.25% Senior Notes and $108.0 million in long-term borrowingsunder our Credit Facility. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Senior Notes approximated $419.3 million. The Senior Notes are fixed-rate obligations, and as such do not subject us to risks associated with changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on ourfloating interest rate borrowings. Floating rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in marketinterest rates. All of the long-term debt outstanding under our Credit Facility is structured on floating interest rate terms. A one percentagepoint increase in the interest rates on our long-term debt outstanding under our Credit Facility as of December 31, 2013 would cause a $1.1million pre-tax annual increase in interest expense.53Table of Contents Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data PageReport of independent registered public accounting firm55Consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 201156Consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 201257Consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 201158Consolidated statement of changes in stockholder's equity for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 201159Notes to consolidated financial statements6054Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmTo the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changesin stockholders’ equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. andits subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the threeyears in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizationsof the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effectiveinternal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included inManagement's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions onthese financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated auditin 2013). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are freeof material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits ofthe financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statementpresentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financialreporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internalcontrol based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in thecircumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance ofrecords that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) providereasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations ofmanagement and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of anyevaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, orthat the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.As described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Blohm + Voss Oil ToolsGmbH and Moffat 2000 Ltd. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 because these entitieswere acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2013. We have also excluded Blohm + Voss Oil Tools GmbHand Moffat 2000 Ltd. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting.

subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements1. Nature of operationsForum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a global oilfield products company, serving the subsea,drilling, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. The Company designs, manufactures anddistributes products, and engages in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services that complement the Company’s productoffering.On August 2, 2010, the Company completed the combination (the "Combination") of Forum Oilfield Technologies, Inc. ("FOT"), GlobalFlow Technologies, Inc. ("Global Flow"), Triton Group Holdings, LLC ("Triton"), Allied Production Services, Inc. ("Allied"), and SubseaServices International, Inc. ("Subsea") pursuant to which each company's shareholders, other than FOT, exchanged all of their commonstock for the common stock of FOT. In conjunction with the Combination, FOT changed its name to Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. Afterthe completion of the Combination, the Company's common stock was owned by three private equity funds with the same sponsor, certaincurrent and former employees and directors of the Company, and former owners of previously acquired companies.On April 17, 2012, the Company closed its initial public offering (the "IPO") pursuant to which the Company sold 13,889,470 shares ofcommon stock and the selling stockholders sold 7,900,000 shares of common stock, including 2,842,104 shares of common stock pursuantto the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, each at an offering price of $20.00 per share, all issued at par value. After deductingestimated expenses and underwriting discounts, the Company and the selling stockholders received net proceeds of approximately $256.4million and $147.2 million, respectively. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the sellingstockholders. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company sold 2,666,666 shares of common stock in a private placement toTinicum L.P. ("Tinicum"), a private equity fund, for net proceeds of $50.0 million. The Company used all of the net proceeds from the IPOand concurrent private placement to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the Company's seniorsecured credit facility ("Credit Facility"). The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol"FET."2. Summary of significant accounting policiesBasis of presentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America ("GAAP").Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries after eliminationof intercompany balances and transactions. Noncontrolling interest principally represents ownership by others of the equity in ourconsolidated majority owned South African subsidiary.The Company's investment in an operating entity where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, but does not controloperating and financial policies, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of the net income of this entity is recordedas "Earnings from equity investment" in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The investment in this entity is included in"Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reports its share of equity earnings withinoperating income as the investee's operations are similar in nature to the operations of the Company.ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made in prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.Reclassifications have no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.60Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, estimates and assumptions have been made by management including,among others, costs to complete contracts, an assessment of percentage of completion of projects, the selection of useful lives of tangible andintangible assets, fair value of reporting units used for goodwill impairment testing, expected future cash flows from long lived assets tosupport impairment tests, provisions necessary for trade receivables, amounts of deferred taxes and income tax contingencies. Actual resultscould differ from these estimates.The financial reporting of contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of those contracts. Recognizedrevenues and income are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion and changes in estimates are reflected in the period inwhich the facts that give rise to the revisions become known. Additional information that enhances and refines the estimating process that isobtained after the balance sheet date, but before issuance of the financial statements is reflected in the financial statements.Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and high quality, short term money market instruments with an original maturity ofthree months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.Accounts receivable-tradeTrade accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thusreceivables do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be applied to amounts past due. The Company maintains an allowance fordoubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Such allowances arebased upon several factors including, but not limited to, credit approval practices, industry and customer historical experience as well as thecurrent and projected financial condition of the specific customer. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than contractual terms areconsidered past due. The Company writes off accounts receivable to the allowance for doubtful accounts when they become uncollectible. Anypayments subsequently received on receivables previously written off are credited to bad debt expense.The change in amounts of the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three year period ended December 31, 2013 is as follows (inthousands):Period ended Balance atbeginning of period Charged toexpense Deductions orother Balance at end ofperiodDecember 31, 2011 $4,125 $2,867 $(1,197) $5,795December 31, 2012 5,795 2,115 (2,019) 5,891December 31, 2013 5,891 2,925 (3,091) 5,725InventoriesInventory consisting of finished goods and materials and supplies held for resale is carried at the lower of cost or market. For certainoperations, cost, which includes the cost of raw materials and labor for finished goods, is determined on a first-in first-out basis. For otheroperations, this cost is determined on an average cost basis. Market means current replacement cost except that (1) market should notexceed net realizable value and (2) market should not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin.The Company continuously evaluates inventories, based on an analysis of inventory levels, historical sales experience and future salesforecasts, to determine obsolete, slow-moving and excess inventory. Adjustments to reduce such inventory to its estimated recoverable valuehave been recorded by management.61Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Property and equipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment held under capital leases are stated at the present valueof minimum lease payments. Expenditures for property and equipment and for items which substantially increase the useful lives of existingassets are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life utilizing the straight-line method. Routine expenditures forrepairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated usefullives of assets, generally three to twenty years. Plant and equipment held under capital leases are amortized straight-line over the shorter ofthe lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Gains or losses resulting from the disposition of assets are recognized in income, and therelated asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Assets acquired in connection with business combinationsare recorded at fair value.Rental equipment consists of equipment leased to customers under operating leases. Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciatedusing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to ten years.The Company reviews long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for impairment, future cash flows expected to result from theuse of the asset and its eventual disposal are estimated. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of theassets, there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between thecarrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined either through the use of an external valuation, or bymeans of an analysis of discounted future cash flows based on expected utilization. The impairment loss recognized represents the excess ofthe assets carrying value as compared to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no impairmentswere recorded.To the extent that asset retirement obligations are incurred, the Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liabilityin the period in which the associated legal obligation is incurred. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discountedbasis. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated. Over time, the liabilities areaccreted for any change in their present value. Asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are not significant.Goodwill and intangible assetsFor goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or whenever an eventindicating impairment may have occurred. The Company completes its annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-livedintangibles using an assessment date of December 31. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of eachreporting unit’s net assets (including allocated goodwill) to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company has six reporting units. The fairvalue of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requiresjudgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operatingmargins, weighted average costs of capital and future market conditions, among others. The Company believes that the estimates andassumptions used in impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, a secondstep is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a hypotheticalpurchase price allocation analysis. The Company recognizes a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value ofgoodwill exceeds its fair value. The impairment test is a fair value test which includes assumptions such as growth and discount rates. Anyimpairment losses are reflected in operating income. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, no goodwill impairment losses were recorded as the estimatedfair values of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value.Intangible assets with definite lives comprised of customer and distributor relationships, non-compete agreements, and patents are amortizedon a straight-line basis over the life of the intangible asset, generally three to seventeen years. These assets are tested for impairmentwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments to intangibleassets were recorded in 2013 and 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2012, an impairment loss of $1.2 million was recorded oncertain intangible assets resulting from a lack of business and orders related to a specific service line within the Production & Infrastructuresegment. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and intangible assets, for further discussion.In the third quarter 2011, the Company implemented a change in accounting estimate to adjust the useful lives of certain of customerrelationship and distributor relationship intangible assets. This change resulted in a $2.2 million reduction in amortization expense in theyear ended December 31, 2011, an increase to net income of $1.4 million (or62Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)$0.03 per diluted share). The Company extended the useful lives of these intangible assets based on positive changes in customer attritionrates and due to several factors pursuant to the Combination, which would further strengthen these relationships.Recognition of provisions for contingenciesIn the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, suits and complaints. The Company, in consultation withinternal and external advisors, will provide for a contingent loss in the consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability hasbeen incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If it is determined that thereasonable estimate of the loss is a range and that there is no best estimate within the range, provision will be made for the lower amount ofthe range. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.An assessment is made of the areas where potential claims may arise under the contract warranty clauses. Where a specific risk is identifiedand the potential for a claim is assessed as probable and can be reasonably estimated, an appropriate warranty provision is recorded.Warranty provisions are eliminated at the end of the warranty period except where warranty claims are still outstanding. The liability forproduct warranty is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.Changes in the Company’s warranty liability were as follows (in thousands):Period ended Balance atbeginning of period Charged toexpense Deductions orother Balance at end ofperiodDecember 31, 2011 $6,708 $1,232 $(3,026) $4,914December 31, 2012 4,914 2,083 (3,220) 3,777December 31, 2013 3,777 3,442 (1,939) 5,280Revenue recognition and deferred revenueRevenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery of theequipment has occurred or services have been rendered, (c) the price of the product or service is fixed and determinable and (d) collectabilityis reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales, including shipping costs, is recognized as title passes to the customer, which generallyoccurs when items are shipped from the Company’s facilities. Revenue from services is recognized when the service is completed to thecustomer’s specifications.Customers are sometimes billed in advance of services performed or products manufactured, and the Company recognizes the associatedliability as deferred revenue.Revenue generated from long-term contracts typically longer than six months in duration are recognized on the percentage-of-completionmethod of accounting. The Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold each period based upon the advancement of the work-in-progress unless the stage of completion is insufficient to enable a reasonably certain forecast of profit to be established. In such cases, noprofit is recognized during the period. The percentage-of-completion is calculated based on the ratio of costs incurred to-date to total estimatedcosts, taking into account the level of completion. The percentage-of-completion method requires management to calculate reasonablydependable estimates of progress toward completion of contract revenues and contract costs. Whenever revisions of estimated contract costsand contract values indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimatedloss is recorded in that period.Primarily related to the remotely operated vehicles ("ROVs"), which may take longer to manufacture, accounting estimates during thecourse of the project may change. The effect of such a change, which can be upward as well as downward, is accounted for in the period ofchange and the cumulative income recognized to date is adjusted to reflect the latest estimates. These revisions to estimates are accountedfor on a prospective basis.On a contract by contract basis, cost and profit in excess of billings represents the cumulative revenue recognized less the cumulative billingsto the customer. Similarly, billings in excess of costs and profits represent the cumulative billings to the customer less the cumulativerevenue recognized.Revenue from the rental of equipment or providing of services is recognized over the period when the asset is rented or services are renderedand collectability is reasonably assured. Rates for asset rental and service provision are priced on a per day, per man hour, or similar basis.63Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Concentration of credit riskFinancial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk include trade accounts receivable. Trade accounts receivableconsist of uncollateralized receivables from domestic and internationally based customers. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012and 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the total revenue or 10% or more of the total accounts receivable balance at the endof the respective period.Share-based compensationThe Company measures all share-based compensation awards at fair value on the date they are granted to employees and directors, andrecognizes compensation cost, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards with only a service condition, and over a gradedvesting period for awards with service and performance or market conditions.The fair value of share-based compensation awards with market conditions is measured using a lattice model and in accordance withAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, is not adjusted based on actual achievement of the performance goals. The Black-Scholesoption pricing model is used to measure the fair value of options. The following sections address the assumptions used related to the Black-Scholes option pricing model.Expected lifeThe expected term of stock options represents the period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the simplifiedmethod, which is the weighted average vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two. The Company uses the simplifiedmethod due to a lack of sufficient historical share option exercise experience upon which to estimate an expected term.Expected volatilityExpected volatility measures the amount that a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period and is estimated based ona weighted average of the Company's historical stock price.Dividend yieldThe Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, azero expected dividend yield was used in the valuation model.Risk-free interest rateThe risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on theoptions.ForfeituresThe Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ fromthose estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expenseonly for those awards that are expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the stock-basedcompensation expense could be different from what the Company has recorded in the current period. Historically, estimated forfeitures havebeen in line with actual forfeitures.Income taxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities aredetermined based upon temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at thebalance sheet date, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Theeffect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. TheCompany records a valuation reserve in each reporting period when management believes that it is more likely than not that any deferred taxasset created will not be realized.Accounting guidance for income taxes requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only afterdetermining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. If a tax position meets the"more likely than not" recognition criteria, accounting guidance requires the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greaterthan 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.Earnings per share64Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Basic earnings per share for all periods presented equals net income divided by the weighted average number of the shares of theCompany’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weightedaverage number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period as adjusted for the dilutive effect of the Company’sstock options, restricted share plans and warrants.The exercise price of each option is based on the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. The diluted earnings per share calculationexcludes approximately 0.3 million stock options and warrants, 1.0 million stock options and warrants and 0.4 million stock options andwarrants for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive as the option exercise pricewas greater than the average market price of the common stock.The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (shares inthousands): December 31, 2013 2012 2011Basic weighted average shares outstanding 90,697 80,111 63,270Dilutive effect of stock option and restricted share plan 3,907 6,826 4,218Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 94,604 86,937 67,488Non-U.S. local currency translationThe Company operates globally and its primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar ($). The majority of the Company’s non-U.S. operationshave designated the local currency as their functional currency. Financial statements of these non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S.dollars using the current rate method whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the balance sheet rate and income and expenses aretranslated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The resultant translation adjustments are reported as acomponent of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.Noncontrolling interestNoncontrolling interests are classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Net earnings include the net earnings for both controllingand noncontrolling interests, with disclosure of both amounts on the consolidated statements of earnings.Fair valueThe carrying amounts for financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value, due to the shortmaturity of such instruments. The book values of other financial instruments, such as the Company’s debt related to the Credit Facility,approximates fair value because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities and therates vary in accordance with a market index.For the financial assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value, fair value is determined as the exit price, or the price that would be received tosell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The established fairvalue hierarchy divides fair value measurement into three broad levels:•Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has theability to access at the measurement date;•Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly orindirectly; and•Level 3 - inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, which reflect the best judgment of management.The financial assets and liabilities that are disclosed at fair value for disclosure purposes are categorized in one of the above three levelsbased on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure offair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.65Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Recent accounting pronouncementsFrom time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which are adoptedby the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issuedstandards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures aboutOffsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11") and in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210):Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"). The issuance of ASU 2013-01 limited the scopeof ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financialstatements or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2013and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This update requiresdisclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effecton the respective line items of net income. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 with the appropriate disclosures andit did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.In July 2012, the FASB amended the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) of the Accounting Standards Codification that allowsentities to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is lessthan its carrying amount. If, after assessing the relevant information, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is morethan the carrying amount, no additional work is necessary. If an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than thecarrying amount, then the entity is required to proceed to the quantitative approach. The amended guidance is effective for the Company inthe annual test in the fourth quarter of 2013 and adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition or results ofoperations.3. Acquisitions2013 AcquisitionsEffective July 1, 2013, the Company completed the following two acquisitions for aggregate consideration of approximately $180.0 million:•Blohm + Voss Oil Tools GmbH and related entities ("B+V"), a manufacturer of pipe handling equipment used on offshore andonshore drilling rigs with locations in Hamburg, Germany and Willis, Texas. B+V is included in the Drilling & Subsea segment; and•Moffat 2000 Ltd. ("Moffat"), a Newcastle, England based manufacturer of subsea pipeline inspection gauge launching and receivingsystems, and subsea connectors. Moffat is included in the Drilling & Subsea segment.66Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands): 2013AcquisitionsCurrent assets, net of cash acquired $60,669Property and equipment 4,545Intangible assets (primarily customer relationships) 59,242Non-tax-deductible goodwill 100,257Current liabilities (17,619)Long term liabilities (7,879)Deferred tax liabilities (20,108)Net assets acquired $179,107Revenues and net income related to the 2013 acquisitions were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2013. Pro forma results ofoperations for the 2013 acquisitions have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statementson either an individual or aggregate basis.2012 AcquisitionsThe Company completed four acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2012 for aggregate consideration of $139.7 million (the "2012 acquisitions").These acquisitions, all of which are included in the Drilling & Subsea segment, included:•Syntech Technology, Incorporated ("Syntech"), a Lorton, Virgina based manufacturer of syntactic foam buoyancy materials used forROVs and other deepwater flotation applications;•Wireline Solutions, LLC ("Wireline"), a Sanger, Texas based manufacturer of downhole completion tools, including composite plugsused for plug, perforate and fracture applications and wireline flow control products;•Dynacon, Inc. ("Dynacon"), a Bryan, Texas based provider of launch and recovery systems used for the deployment of ROVs andhigh quality specialized cable and umbilical handling equipment; and•Merrimac Manufacturing, Inc. ("Merrimac"), a Plantersville, Texas based manufacturer of consumable parts for drilling, wellservicing and pressure pumping applications, including mud pump parts, power swivel parts and valves and seats for hydraulicfracturing pumps.Contingent consideration from 2011 AcquisitionsThe total purchase consideration for two acquisitions completed in 2011, Wood Flowline Products, LLC ("WFP") and Phoinix Global, LLC("Phoinix"), included two separate contingent consideration payments based on each of the acquired company's 2011 and 2012 calendar yearearnings as defined in the applicable purchase and sale agreement. The contingent consideration payment related to the WFP acquisitionincluded a portion payable in shares. Upon resolution of the results of operations for WFP for the year ended December 31, 2011, the portionof the contingent consideration payable in shares of the Company's common stock was finalized and $3.3 million of the liability wasreclassified to equity in March 2012. The cash portion of the contingent consideration payments based on WFP's and Phoinix's 2011 calendaryear earnings in the amount of $6.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively, were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.Upon resolution of the results of operations for WFP for the year ended December 31, 2012, the portion of the contingent considerationpayable in shares of the Company's common stock was finalized and $4.1 million was reclassified to equity in May 2013. The cash portionof the contingent consideration payments based on WFP's and Phoinix's 2012 earnings in the amount of $3.5 million and $7.9 million,respectively, were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.4. Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaryEffective July 1, 2013, the Company jointly purchased Global Tubing, LLC ("Global Tubing") with an equal partner, with managementretaining a small interest. Global Tubing is a Dayton, Texas based provider of coiled tubing strings and related services. The Company'sequity investment is reported in the Production & Infrastructure segment and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. AsGlobal Tubing's products are complementary to the Company’s67Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)well intervention and stimulation products and the investment's business is integral to the Company's operations, the earnings from theequity investment are included within operating income. As part of the purchase, the Company paid $112.2 million to purchase all of theshares of ARC Global Tubing, L.P., the only asset of ARC Global Tubing, L.P. being its interest in Global Tubing. Our partner purchased theremaining interest in Global Tubing, not directly retained by management. In conjunction with the purchase, the joint venture madedistributions to the new owners from borrowed funds. The Company received a disproportionate share totaling $64.2 million, making eachpartner's net investment $48.0 million. The investment in the unconsolidated subsidiary was increased at the time of purchase byapproximately $10.9 million to record a deferred tax liability, causing the gross investment recorded to equal $58.9 million. This deferred taxliability is related to the difference between our investment in the unconsolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes and our outsidetax basis in the limited liability company. Since the initial investment, the Company recorded $7.3 million of earnings and distributions of$5.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, and therefore, the investment was $60.3 million at December 31, 2013.5.

The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable on April 1 and October 1 of eachyear, and mature on October 1, 2021. Net proceeds from the issuance of approximately $394.0 million, after deducting initial purchasers'discounts and offering expenses and excluding accrued interest paid by the purchasers, were used for the repayment of the then-outstandingterm loan balance and a portion of the revolving Credit Facility balance.The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture, dated October 2, 2013 (the “Indenture”), between the Company, theguarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Senior Notes are senior unsecuredobligations, and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility and rankjunior to, among other indebtedness, the Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Credit Facility. The SeniorNotes contain customary covenants including some limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, purchase orredeem its common stock or purchase or redeem its subordinated debt; make certain investments; incur or guarantee additionalindebtedness or issue certain types of equity securities; create certain liens, sell assets, including equity interests in its restrictedsubsidiaries; redeem or prepay subordinated debt; restrict dividends or other payments of its restricted subsidiaries; consolidate, merge ortransfer all or substantially all of its assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create unrestricted subsidiaries. Many of theserestrictions will terminate if the Senior Notes become rated investment grade. The Indenture also contains customary events of default,including nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certainjudgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The Company is required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes in connectionwith specified change in control events or with excess proceeds of asset sales not applied for permitted purposes.Credit FacilityThe Company has a Credit Facility with several financial institutions as lenders, which provides for a $600.0 million revolving credit facilitywith up to $75.0 million available for letters of credit and up to $25.0 million in swingline loans. Subject to terms of the Credit Facility, theCompany has the ability to increase the revolving Credit Facility by an additional $300.0 million. In November 2013, the Company amendedthis Credit Facility, to, among other things, change certain of the ratios under financial covenants previously required to be maintained by theCompany on a consolidated basis and to extend the maturity date to November 2018. Weighted average interest rates under the CreditFacility at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 2.17% and 2.21%, respectively.The Credit Facility contains covenants which require the Company, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specified financial ratios orconditions summarized as follows:•Total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined as the "Leverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not more than 4.50 to 1.0;71Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)•Senior secured debt to adjusted EBITDA (defined as the "Senior Secured Leverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not more than3.50 to 1.0; and•EBITDA to interest expense (defined as the "Interest Coverage Ratio" in the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.Availability under the Credit Facility was approximately $475.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Company was in compliance with allfinancial covenants at December 31, 2013.Other debtOther debt consists primarily of various capital leases of equipment.Debt issue costsThe Company has incurred loan costs that have been capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. Asa result, approximately $2.2 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million were amortized to interest expense for the years ended December 31,2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The estimated term over which debt issue costs related to the term loan were being amortized wasrevised in connection with the repayment of the term loan from the issuance of the Senior Notes.

The Company also had$4.5 million of non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards with indefinite expiration dates. All of the U.S. net operating losses relate to theCompany's acquisitions. Use of these losses are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Companyanticipates being able to fully utilize the losses prior to their expiration.At December 31, 2013, the Company had no foreign tax credit carryforwards.Goodwill from certain acquisitions is tax deductible due to the acquisition structure as an asset purchase or due to tax elections made by theCompany and the respective sellers at the time of acquisition.The Company believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 will be utilized to offset futuretaxable income and the reversal of taxable temporary differences. Consequently, no valuation allowance has been recorded in the financialstatements.Taxes are provided as necessary with respect to non-U.S. earnings that are not permanently reinvested. For all other non-U.S. earnings, noU.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance non-U.S. activities.The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. as well as in various states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Companyis no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions prior to 2008.The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 740, which prescribes the minimumrecognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financialstatements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is as follows (in thousands):Balance at January 1, 2013 $3,701Additional based on tax positions related to prior years 3,740Reduction based on tax positions related to prior years (1,937)Lapse of statute of limitations (897)Balance at December 31, 2013 4,607Deferred tax benefits on uncertain tax position related to U.S. and non-U.S. income tax —Net balance at December 31, 2013 $4,607The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes in the consolidatedstatement of income. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had accrued approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, ininterest and penalties. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized no material change in the interest and penaltiesrelated to uncertain tax positions.10. Fair value measurementsAt December 31, 2012, the Company had interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $75.0 million that were executed to provide aneconomic hedge against interest rate risk. These swaps were not designated for hedge accounting at inception and were recorded at fairvalue, which is measured using the market approach valuation technique. These swaps had a fixed rate of 1.83% and expired in August2013. The realized gains and losses are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. AtDecember 31, 2012, the fair value of the swap agreements was recorded as a short-term liability of $0.7 million.In connection with the acquisitions of WFP and Phoinix, the total consideration included contingent consideration payments. The fair value ofthe contingent consideration for these acquisitions was estimated at the time of the respective acquisitions based on internal valuations of theearnings levels that the acquired companies were expected to achieve. The fair value was re-measured quarterly until finalized as ofDecember 31, 2012 upon resolution of the 2012 calendar year earnings and the fair values were no longer variable after that time. Theseamounts were paid out during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further discussion.74Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Credit Facility was $108.0 million and all of this debt incurs interest at a variable interest rateand, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement becauseinterest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices forthose or similar instruments. At December 31, 2013, the fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notesapproximated $419.3 million and $403.2 million, respectively.There were no other outstanding financial instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 that required measuring the amounts at fair valueon a recurring basis. The Company did not change its valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from priorperiods and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2013.11. Commitments and contingenciesLitigationIn the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future, could be involved in various pending or threatened legal actions,some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, thereasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, andhas established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated.The reserves accrued at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate liability, ifany, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operationsor cash flows.Portland Harbor Superfund litigationIn May 2009, one of the Company's subsidiaries (which is presently a dormant company with nominal assets except for rights underinsurance policies) was named along with many defendants in a suit filed by the Port of Portland, Oregon seeking reimbursement of costsrelated to a five-year study of contaminated sediments at the port. In March 2010, the subsidiary also received a notice letter from theEnvironmental Protection Agency indicating that it had been identified as a potentially responsible party with respect to environmentalcontamination in the "study area" for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site. Under a 1997 indemnity agreement, the subsidiary is indemnifiedby a third party with respect to losses relating to environmental contamination. As required under the indemnity agreement, the subsidiaryprovided notice of these claims, and the indemnitor has assumed responsibility and is providing a defense of the claims. Although theCompany believes that it is unlikely that the subsidiary contributed to the contamination at the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, the potentialliability of the subsidiary and the ability of the indemnitor to fulfill its indemnity obligations cannot be quantified at this time.Operating leasesThe Company has operating leases for warehouse, office space, manufacturing facilities and equipment. The leases generally require theCompany to pay certain expenses including taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities. The minimum future lease commitments undernoncancelable leases in effect at December 31, 2013 are as follows:2014$16,148201514,724201613,31020179,97220187,483Thereafter27,104 $88,741Total rent expense was $19.0 million, $16.1 million and $11.0 million under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012and 2011, respectively.75Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Letters of credit and guaranteesThe Company executes letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also toguarantee the Company fulfilling certain performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. At December 31, 2013, the Company had$16.6 million in letters of credit.12. Stockholders' equity and employee benefit plansWarrantsIn August 2010, in conjunction with the Combination, the Company offered to sell shares of its common stock to certain accredited investorsat a price of $7.68 per share. In addition, purchasers obtained a warrant to purchase additional shares equal to one-half of the number ofshares purchased. The exercise price increases 0.5% at the end of each month and the warrants are exercisable any time up to the expirationdate.In June 2011, a majority shareholder purchased additional shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $8.07 per share, and similarto the initial purchase of shares, the shareholder received a warrant to purchase one share of common stock for every two shares purchased.The warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2013 were recorded to stockholders’ equity at their fair value at the time of issuance. For thewarrants issued in August 2010, a fair value of $1.94 per warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. For the warrantsissued in June 2011, a fair value of $6.19 per warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company's largest shareholder converted all of its 6,366,072 warrants pursuant to theterms of a warrant agreement and received 4,227,358 shares the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2013, approximately355,000 warrants remained outstanding and were recorded to stockholders' equity at their fair value of $1.94 per warrant. The remainingwarrants expire the earlier of October 11, 2014 or upon the occurrence of certain other events.Employee benefit plansThe Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan, which benefits eligible employees by allowing them the opportunity to make contributions upto certain limits. The Company contributes by matching a percentage of each employee's contributions. Subsequent to the closing of allacquisitions, employees of those acquired entities will generally be eligible to participate in the Company's 401(k) savings plan. TheCompany also has the discretion to provide a profit sharing contribution to each participant depending on the Company’s performance for theapplicable year. The expense under the Company's plan was $8.2 million, $5.8 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31,2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.During 2013, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of theCompany's common stock at six-month intervals through periodic payroll deductions at a price per share equal to 85% of the lower of the fairmarket value at the beginning and ending of the six-month intervals. This plan is deemed to be non-compensatory, and accordingly, noshare-based compensation expense for shares purchased under the plan is recognized.13. Stock based compensationFET share-based compensation planIn August 2010, the Company created the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to allow for employees, directors and consultants of theCompany and its subsidiaries to maintain stock ownership in the Company through the award of stock options, restricted stock, restrictedstock units or any combination thereof. Under the terms of the Plan, 18.5 million shares have been authorized for awards and approximately9.8 million shares remained available for future grants as of December 31, 2013.76Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)Stock optionsThe exercise price of each option is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Options may generally beexercised over a ten-year period and vest annually in equal increments over four years. The Company’s policy for issuing stock upon a stockoption exercise is to issue new shares. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

These awardsmay settle between zero and two shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares issued pursuant to the performance shareawards will be determined based on the total shareholder return of the Company's common stock as compared to a group of peer companies,measured annually over a three-year performance period.The total amount of share-based compensation expense recorded was approximately $19.0 million, $8.2 million and $5.2 million for theyears ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company expects to record share-basedcompensation expense of approximately $34.5 million over the remaining term of the restricted stock and options of approximately 3 years.Future stock option grants will result in additional compensation expense.14. Related party transactionsThe Company entered into lease agreements for office and warehouse space with former owners of acquired companies, stockholders oraffiliates. The dollar amounts related to these related party activities are not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.The Company purchased inventory and services from an affiliate of a shareholder in amounts totaling $5.6 million, $5.1 million and $4.8million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company sold $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $4.0million of equipment and services to an affiliate of a stockholder during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.78Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and subsidiariesNotes to consolidated financial statements (continued)15. Business segmentsThe Company’s operations are divided into the following two operating segments, which are our reportable segments: Drilling & Subsea("D&S") and Production & Infrastructure ("P&I").

The Company’s P&I segment designs and manufactures productsand provides related equipment and services to the well stimulation, completion, production and infrastructure markets.The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer distinct products and services. They are managed separately since eachbusiness segment requires different marketing strategies. Operating segments have not been aggregated as part of a reportable segment.The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income. This segmentation is representative of themanner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and our Board of Directors view the business.
