Dear Stockholders:

2010 was a year of rebounding at Key Energy Services – a 
year of enhancing our core strengths and better positioning 
the Company to participate in current market trends.

Despite the market challenges we faced in 2010, I believe we 
managed the year effectively – achieving several major goals 
which position the Company for what I believe will be a much 
stronger 2011. We successfully divested our non-strategic 
pressure pumping and wireline businesses, where we were a 
small, niche market player. And we focused our precious capital 
resources and management attention on our remaining core 
well intervention businesses. 

To that end, we made signifi cant incremental investments in our 
coiled tubing business. In 2010, we grew our fl eet organically 
and through two acquisitions by over 70% to 43 units, 60% of 
which are long-lateral capable. These investments enhanced 
our presence in all the major shale plays and helped position 
us among the leaders in the coiled tubing business.

Concentrating on our core rig services business, we were 
not content to rest on our laurels as the industry leader. Given 
the strong shift in wellbore architecture over the past few years 
to the horizontal, long-lateral well design, we believe the well 
servicing and workover market will need to re-tool. We have 
been and will continue to fund signifi cant investments in larger, 
heavy-duty workover rigs, many of which are capable of certain 
specialized drilling applications, including greenfi eld horizontal 
lateral installation and brownfi eld re-entry horizontal drilling.

Another signifi cant focal point of 2010 was our establishment 
of a large fl uid management services presence in the Bakken 
region of the Williston Basin. This investment was in direct 
support of a multi-year, total fl uid management contract for an 
established customer in the region. We intend to offer similar 
fl uid management solutions to other customers in that region 
and across the United States. We believe our well fl uid logistics 
s 
management capability has benefi ts upon which more of our 
customers will likely rely, as the costs and challenges of oilfi eld 
fl uid management continue to escalate. 

In 2010, we strengthened our technology position. We 
continued to invest in proprietary technologies such as 
our successful KeyView® system and the newly deployed 
SmartTong® technology. We introduced the third generation 
KeyView® system, which has signifi cantly increased processing 
and control capacity, and includes six new safety and control 
features. And, we deployed additional KeyView® systems, 
bringing our fl eet total to over 350. While our SmartTong® 
service recently began its commercialization phase, customer 

acceptance is gaining traction. The computer-controlled, 
artifi cial lift rod tong system replaces the manual connection 
makeup process. It ensures a rod connection is made up to 
the correct manufacturers’ specifi cation, thereby signifi cantly 
reducing rod failure. 

Additionally, we enhanced our international presence in 2010, 
successfully entering two new international markets: Colombia 
and the Middle East. In Colombia, we started operations early 
in the fourth quarter 2010, and we believe we will expand 
further in the country. Early in 2010, we formed a joint venture 
in the Middle East, AlMansoori Key Energy Services, and in less 
than a year, secured long-term work in Bahrain. We believe this 
initial foray into the region will lead to additional opportunities for 
us. Moreover, our business in Mexico rebounded immediately 
upon the sanctioning of Pemex’s 2011 capital budget, and we 
expect to remain essentially fully utilized through 2011.

All of this leaves me very excited as I look at 2011 and beyond.  
We are the largest onshore, rig-based well servicing contractor. 
In the United States, we are one of the largest providers of well 
fl uid transportation and logistics services, a top tier provider 
of coiled tubing services, and a growing niche participant 
in the onshore fi shing and rental business. And we are well 
established with a growing international business in a portfolio 
of active, oil-producing countries.

2010 was a year when Key made signifi cant investments 
in its future. 2011 is the year our future begins.

Positioning your Company 
to stay ahead of the curve

There are several major 
secular trends underway that 
are permanently changing the 
energy industry. Successful 
companies must be able to 
adapt their business model 
to not only accommodate 
changing market conditions, 
but also to capitalize on them. 

More complex horizontal wells require 
more capable well intervention assets

The industry is trending towards complex horizontal 
wells with longer laterals and sometimes multiple 
laterals per primary wellbore. Roughly 60% of 
current drilling activity in the United States is on 
horizontal wells compared to less than 10% only 
seven years ago. These complex wellbores require 
an increasing array of tools and services during 
initial construction and completion — as well 
as more highly capable service, workover, and 
remedial intervention treatments as they age.

At Key Energy Services, we saw these trends 
emerging, and we began to better position the 
Company to deliver solutions that we knew our 
customers would need. We began investing in 
larger, more capable workover and specialty-drilling 
assets, including 500HP and 1,000HP rigs with 
increased derrick load ratings. We equipped 
some of our larger rigs with high-capacity 
mud pump systems, top drives, automated 
pipe handling and make-up systems, blowout 
preventers, accommodation quarters, and crews 

to facilitate 24-hour operations — all to deliver 
long-lateral drilling and completion capabilities 
to meet customer needs. These same assets 
are also capable of later well life solutions, such 
as installing and retrieving artifi cial lift systems, 
production tubing, packers and plugs — as well 
as providing heavy-duty maintenance, stimulation 
and downhole repair.  

Because conventional assets, geared to service 
legacy vertical oil wells, will likely not meet the 
demands of tomorrow’s more complex wellbores, 
we are focusing our capital on larger, more 
capable assets.

Limited new oil discoveries drive need 
for more production from existing fi elds

Over the past couple of decades, domestic 
oil discoveries have become smaller and less 
frequent. The writing is on the wall: we need to 
get more oil from existing reservoirs. Historically, 
reserve recovery factors have been estimated in 
the 30 to 35% range. Enhanced secondary and 
tertiary recovery techniques can drive reserve 
recovery factors higher.  

Key’s growing fl eet of well intervention assets 
includes more than 860 well servicing and 
heavy-duty workover rigs, along with 43 coiled 
tubing units. These are the types of assets oil 
companies need when returning to a pre-existing 
fi eld for additional oil recovery. 

Similar trends are emerging internationally. Many of 
the massive oilfi elds in foreign countries discovered 
30 to 40 years ago are declining. Our international 
and national oil company customers are requesting 
that Key bring its production enhancement 
capabilities to help them limit oil production declines 
in several large oilfi eld regions around the globe. 

2     2010 Annual Report

Increasing focus on domestic oil drilling

The United States is experiencing a resurgence of 
oil-directed drilling, and workover and re-completion 
activity is following. Driven in part by attractive oil 
prices, as well as improving recovery technologies, 
including horizontal well completions and multi-
stage hydraulic fracturing, oil-directed drilling activity 
recently surpassed the previous record level set in 
the 1980s. 

While certain alternative energy technologies 
may hold promise decades from now, today 
our country needs all the domestically-sourced 
oil it can get. And Key is doing its part. We are 
deploying more capable coiled tubing units, we are 
investing in larger workover and specialty drilling 
and completion capable rigs, and we own the 
largest fl eet of well servicing rigs in the country, all 
of which are helping our customers in their efforts 
to increase domestic oil production.

Our industry is evolving, and at Key we are 
positioning your Company to stay ahead of the 
evolutionary curve.

Safety as a priority requires more 
technologically-derived solutions
Our customers expect safe operations, and we 
insist on safe operations. Operational safety has 
long been our leading core value. And more than 
just preaching and teaching safety, we also develop 
technologies that aid in our efforts to continually 
improve safety performance. Proprietary Key 
technologies such as our patented Hydra-Walk® 
pipe handling system enable safer handling of 
wellbore pipe between pipe racks and the rig fl oor, 
with less hands-on contact.  

We are investing in rig enhancements such as 
hydraulic rig fl oors and retractable guy wires, 
which enable safer and more effi cient rigging up 
and down at the wellsite. And we are integrating 
portable base beams into our rig fl eet, providing 
more stability to the derrick, which also helps 
improve overall safety and effi ciency.  

Lastly, our patented KeyView® system continues 
to evolve with built-in safety features including 
natural gas and hydrogen sulfi de sensors and 
alarms, and “crown-out” and “fl oor-out” protection 
that stops movement of equipment in the derrick if 
a potential collision is imminent. These innovations 
mean both quality of life for all our stakeholders, as 
well as quality of investment for our stockholders, 
by helping re-write our segment’s operational 
best practices.

2010 Annual Report     3

Coiled Tubing —
The Evolution of an Oilfi eld Solution

Key has been in the coiled tubing business 
since the late 1990s, but more recently, we have 
grown our position in that business signifi cantly. 
We believe we are now among the top providers 
of coiled tubing services in the United States, 
particularly regarding long-lateral capable services.

We are growing our fl eet of larger diameter, longer 
lateral-reach capable coiled tubing units to do 
increasingly complex tasks that are associated 
with today’s increasingly complex horizontal wells.  
Our larger diameter, stiffer coiled tubing enables 
effi cient, reliable reach across 10,000 foot long 
horizontal wellbores.  

As a new well completion tool, the primary use of 
coiled tubing is the milling of temporary plugs which 
are set between frac stages in horizontal wellbores.  
Coiled tubing can also be used for conveying 
downhole tools to the end of horizontal laterals, 
where conventional wireline is ineffective.  

As a workover tool, coiled tubing units can 
perform specialized applications, including 
drilling lateral extensions from pre-existing vertical 
wellbores to gain access to incremental production 
from mature oilfi elds.  

Because of its ability to work in “live” well 
conditions, coiled tubing technology offers a 
cost-effective solution for later well life remedial 
applications, including formation stimulation 
treatments, minor wellbore repair and, eventually, 
plugging and abandonment.

With all these attractive applications throughout the 
life cycle of the well, coiled tubing fi ts Key’s core 
well intervention business. While tomorrow’s uses 
for coiled tubing are still evolving, we expect Key 
Energy Services will be an integral part of the next 
phase of technology evolution. And, coiled tubing 
is a service line which Key can expand abroad via 
our international footprint.

Driven by favorable economics, greater reliability 
and improved capabilities, coiled tubing is 
growing in its application as a well intervention 
tool. And Key is positioned among the leaders. 

 1998
Entered coiled tubing 
business with acquisition 
of fi ve units.

2010
Added 18 units bringing 
fl eet to 43 including 26 
long-lateral capable.

2004 – 2008
Grew fl eet to 25 units 
via acquisitions and 
six newbuilds.

2011
Expect to add at least four 
additional long-lateral units, 
bringing fl eet to 47 units.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General Description of Business

Key Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: KEG) is a Maryland corporation and is the largest onshore, rig-based

well servicing contractor based on the number of rigs owned. References to “Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us”
or “our” refer to Key Energy Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its controlled subsidiaries. We
were organized in April 1977 and commenced operations in July 1978 under the name National Environmental
Group, Inc. In December 1992, we became Key Energy Group, Inc. and we changed our name to Key Energy
Services, Inc. in December 1998.

We provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and
independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based
well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management
services, and fishing and rental services and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain of our rigs
are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions
of the continental United States, and have operations based in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and
Argentina. In addition, we have a technology development group based in Canada and have ownership
interests in two oilfield service companies based in Canada.

The following is a description of the various products and services that we provide and our major

competitors for those products and services.

Service Offerings

We operate in two business segments, Well Servicing and Production Services. Our Well Servicing

segment includes rig-based services and fluid management services. Historically, our Production Services
segment included pressure pumping services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental services and wireline
services. On October 1, 2010, we completed the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses to
Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (“Patterson-UTI”). Also on October 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of
certain subsidiaries owned by OFS Energy Services, LLC (“OFS”), which increased our coiled tubing, fluid
management services and rig services capacity. As of December 31, 2010, our Production Services segment
consisted mainly of our coiled tubing, and fishing and rental services. The following discussion provides a
description of the major service lines offered by our business segments. Our rig-based services are provided in
the continental United States as well as in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and Argentina. Our
other major service lines are provided primarily in the continental United States. See “Note 23. Segment
Information” in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional financial information
about our reportable business segments and the various geographical areas where we operate.

Effective for the first quarter of 2011, we will begin reporting under two new business segments: U.S. and

International. Financial results for all periods presented in future filings will be restated to reflect the change
in operating segments. We revised our segments to reflect the change in our operating focus and our
assessment of operations and resource allocation in making decisions regarding Key.

Well Servicing Segment

Rig-Based Services

Our rig-based services include the maintenance, workover, and recompletion of existing oil and natural
gas wells, completion of newly-drilled wells, and plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful
lives. We also provide specialty drilling services to oil and natural gas producers with certain of our larger
well servicing rigs that are capable of providing conventional and horizontal drilling services. Our rigs consist
of various sizes and capabilities, allowing us to service all types of wells with depths up to 20,000 feet. Many
of our rigs are outfitted with our proprietary KeyView» technology, which captures and reports well site

4

operating data. We believe that this technology allows our customers and our crews to better monitor well site
operations, improves efficiency and safety, and adds value to the services that we offer.

The maintenance services that our rig fleet provides are generally required throughout the life cycle of an
oil or natural gas well. Examples of the maintenance services that we provide as part of our rig-based services
include routine mechanical repairs to the pumps, tubing and other equipment, removing debris and formation
material from wellbores, and pulling the rods and other downhole equipment from wellbores to identify and
resolve production problems. Maintenance services generally take less than 48 hours to complete and, in
general, the demand for these services is closely related to the total number of producing oil and gas wells in
a given market.

The workover services that we provide are designed to enhance the production of existing wells, and

generally are more complex and time consuming than normal maintenance services. Workover services can
include deepening or extending wellbores into new formations by drilling horizontal or lateral wellbores,
sealing off depleted production zones and accessing previously bypassed production zones, converting former
production wells into injection wells for enhanced recovery operations and conducting major subsurface
repairs due to equipment failures. Workover services may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on
the complexity of the workover. Demand for these services is closely related to capital spending by oil and
natural gas producers, which in turn is a function of oil and natural gas prices. As commodity prices increase,
producers tend to increase their capital spending for workover projects in order to increase their production.
Conversely, as commodity prices decline, demand for workover projects tends to decrease.

The completion and recompletion services provided by our rigs prepare a newly drilled well, or a well

that was recently extended through a workover, for production. The completion process may involve
selectively perforating the well casing to access production zones, stimulating and testing these zones, and
installing tubulars and downhole equipment. We typically provide a well service rig and may also provide
other equipment to assist in the completion process. The completion process usually takes a few days to
several weeks, depending on the nature of the completion. The demand for completion and recompletion
services is directly related to drilling activity levels, which are highly sensitive to expectations for, and
reactions to changes in, commodity prices. As the number of newly drilled wells decreases, the number of
completion jobs correspondingly decreases. In addition, during periods of weak drilling activity, some drilling
contractors may be more inclined to use drilling rigs for completion work.

Our rig fleet is also used in the process of permanently shutting-in an oil or gas well that is at the end of
its productive life. These plugging and abandonment services generally require auxiliary equipment in addition
to a well servicing rig. The demand for plugging and abandonment services is not significantly impacted by
the demand for oil and natural gas because well operators are required by state regulations to plug wells that
are no longer productive.

We believe that the largest competitors for our U.S. rig-based services include Nabors Industries Ltd.,
Basic Energy Services, Inc., Complete Production Services, Inc., Forbes Energy Services Ltd. and Pioneer
Drilling Company. In addition, there are numerous small companies that compete in our rig-based markets in
the United States. In Argentina, we believe our major competitors are San Antonio International (formerly
Pride International), Nabors Industries, Drillsearch Energy Ltd. and Emepa S.A. In Mexico, San Antonio
International, Weatherford International Ltd. and Forbes Energy Services are our largest competitors. In the
Russian Federation, our major competitors are Weatherford International and Integra Technologies Inc. In
Colombia, our major competitors are San Antonio International and Serinco Drilling S.A. Our largest
competitors in the Middle East are Weatherford International, Nabors Industries and MB Petroleum Services.

Fluid Management Services

We provide fluid management services, including oilfield transportation and produced water disposal
services, with our fleet of heavy- and medium-duty trucks. The specific services offered include vacuum truck
services, fluid transportation services and disposal services for operators whose wells produce saltwater or
other non-hydrocarbon fluids. We also supply frac tanks which are used for temporary storage of fluids
associated with fluid hauling operations. In addition, we provide equipment trucks that are used to move large

5

pieces of equipment from one well site to the next, and we operate a fleet of hot oilers which are capable of
pumping heated fluids that are used to clear soluble restrictions in a wellbore.

Fluid hauling trucks are utilized in connection with drilling and workover projects, which tend to use

large amounts of various fluids. In connection with drilling, maintenance or workover activity at a well site,
we transport fresh and brine water to the well site and provide temporary storage and disposal of produced
saltwater and drilling or workover fluids. These fluids are removed from the well site and transported for
disposal in a saltwater disposal (“SWD”) well that is either owned by us or a third party. Key owned or leased
65 active SWD wells at December 31, 2010. Demand and pricing for these services generally correspond to
demand for our well service rigs.

We believe that the largest competitors for our domestic fluid management services include Basic Energy

Services, Complete Production Services, Nabors Industries and Stallion Oilfield Services Ltd. In addition,
numerous small companies compete in the fluid management services market in the United States.

Production Services Segment

Historically, our Production Services segment included pressure pumping services (fracturing, nitrogen,
acidizing, and cementing), wireline services (perforating, completion logging, production logging and casing
integrity services), coiled tubing services and fishing and rental services. On October 1, 2010, we completed
the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses to Patterson-UTI. As discussed in Item 8 of this
report, we show the results of operations for our pressure pumping and wireline businesses as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2010, our Production Services segment primarily
consists of our coiled tubing and fishing and rental services. Our Production Services segment also includes
some specialty pumping services, nitrogen services, and cementing services.

Coiled Tubing Services

Coiled tubing services involve the use of a continuous metal pipe spooled on a large reel for oil and

natural gas well applications, such as wellbore clean-outs, nitrogen jet lifts, and through-tubing fishing and
formation stimulation utilizing acid, chemical treatments and fracturing. Coiled tubing is also used for a
number of horizontal well applications such as milling temporary plugs between frac stages.

Our coiled tubing business consists of 43 coiled tubing units, two-thirds of which are large diameter,
extended reach capable units, which have become important tools in horizontal well completions. Historically,
coiled tubing was limited to remedial work such as wellbore washout and acid placement. Extended-reach,
long-lateral coiled tubing units now provide the following services: logging and perforating conveyance;
packer and plug milling; specialized drilling; frac placement; and pre- and post-frac well preparation. Our
units are also employed in later-life well remediation and provide early and late cycle high pressure live well
intervention services. Our coiled tubing units are currently only deployed in the United States; however, we
believe that this technology will be requested by our international customers, which would provide additional
growth opportunities.

Our primary competitors in the coiled tubing services market include: Schlumberger Ltd., Baker Hughes
Incorporated, Halliburton Company, Complete Production Services and Superior Energy Services. In addition,
numerous small companies compete in our coiled tubing services markets in the United States.

Fishing and Rental Services

We offer a full line of services and rental equipment designed for use in providing both onshore and
offshore drilling and workover services. Fishing services involve recovering lost or stuck equipment in the
wellbore utilizing a broad array of “fishing tools.” Our rental tool inventory consists of drill pipe, production
tubulars, handling tools (including our patented Hydra-Walk» pipe-handling units and services), pressure-
control equipment, power swivels and foam air units. Demand for our fishing and rental services is also
closely related to capital spending by oil and natural gas producers, which is generally a function of oil and
natural gas prices.

6

Our primary competitors for our fishing and rental services include Baker Oil Tools, Weatherford
International, Basic Energy Services, Superior Energy Services, Quail Tools (owned by Parker Drilling
Company) and Knight Oil Tools.

Other Business Data

Raw Materials

We purchase a wide variety of raw materials, parts and components that are made by other manufacturers and

suppliers for our use. We are not dependent on any single source of supply for those parts, supplies or materials.

Customers

Our customers include major oil companies, foreign national oil companies, and independent oil and
natural gas production companies. During the year ended December 31, 2010, no single customer accounted
for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Mexican
national oil company Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”) accounted for approximately 11% of our consolidated
revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2009. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2008. Receivables outstanding from Pemex were approximately 25% of our total
accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total
accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2008.

Competition and Other External Factors

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Competition is influenced by such factors as

price, capacity, availability of work crews, and reputation and experience of the service provider. We believe
that an important competitive factor in establishing and maintaining long-term customer relationships is having
an experienced, skilled and well-trained work force. We devote substantial resources toward employee safety
and training programs. In addition, we believe that the KeyView» system provides important safety enhance-
ments. We believe many of our larger customers place increased emphasis on the safety, performance and
quality of the crews, equipment and services provided by their contractors. Although we believe customers
consider all of these factors, price is often the primary factor in determining which service provider is awarded
the work. However, in numerous instances, we secure and maintain work for large customers for which
efficiency, safety, technology, size of fleet and availability of other services are of equal importance to price.

The demand for our services fluctuates, primarily in relation to the price (or anticipated price) of oil and

natural gas, which, in turn, is driven by the supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Generally, as
supply of those commodities decreases and demand increases, service and maintenance requirements increase
as oil and natural gas producers attempt to maximize the productivity of their wells in a higher priced
environment. However, in a lower oil and natural gas price environment, demand for service and maintenance
generally decreases as oil and natural gas producers decrease their activity. In particular, the demand for new
or existing field drilling and completion work is driven by available investment capital for such work. Because
these types of services can be easily “started” and “stopped,” and oil and natural gas producers generally tend
to be less risk tolerant when commodity prices are low or volatile, we may experience a more rapid decline in
demand for well maintenance services compared with demand for other types of oilfield services. Further, in a
lower-priced environment, fewer well service rigs are needed for completions, as these activities are generally
associated with drilling activity.

The level of our revenues, earnings and cash flows are substantially dependent upon, and affected by, the
level of U.S. and international oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activity, as well as
the equipment capacity in any particular region.

7

Seasonality

Our operations are impacted by seasonal factors. Historically, our business has been negatively impacted

during the winter months due to inclement weather, fewer daylight hours and holidays. During the summer
months, our operations may be impacted by tropical weather systems. During periods of heavy snow, ice or
rain, we may not be able to move our equipment between locations, thereby reducing our ability to provide
services and generate revenues. In addition, the majority of our equipment works only during daylight hours.
In the winter months when days become shorter, this reduces the amount of time that our assets can work and
therefore has a negative impact on total hours worked. Lastly, during the fourth quarter, we historically have
experienced significant slowdown during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.

Patents, Trade Secrets, Trademarks and Copyrights

We own numerous patents, trademarks and proprietary technology that we believe provide us with a

competitive advantage in the various markets in which we operate or intend to operate. We have devoted significant
resources to developing technological improvements in our well service business and have sought patent protection
both inside and outside the United States for products and methods that appear to have commercial significance.
All the issued patents have varying remaining durations and begin expiring between 2013 and 2028. The most
notable of our technologies include numerous patents surrounding the KeyView» system.

We own several trademarks that are important to our business both in the United States and in foreign
countries. In general, depending upon the jurisdiction, trademarks are valid as long as they are in use, or their
registrations are properly maintained and they have not been found to become generic. Registrations of
trademarks can generally be renewed indefinitely as long as the trademarks are in use. While our patents and
trademarks, in the aggregate, are of considerable importance to maintaining our competitive position, no single
patent or trademark is considered to be of a critical or essential nature to our business.

We also rely on a combination of trade secret laws, copyright and contractual provisions to establish and
protect proprietary rights in our products and services. We typically enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees, strategic partners and suppliers and limit access to the distribution of our proprietary information.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 7,400 persons in our United States operations and

approximately 1,800 additional persons in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Canada. Additionally, our joint
ventures in Russia and the Middle East in which we own a controlling interest employed approximately
430 persons as of December 31, 2010. Our domestic employees are not represented by a labor union and are
not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Many of our employees in Argentina are represented by
formal unions. In Mexico, we have entered into a collective bargaining agreement that applies to our workers
in Mexico performing work under the Pemex contract.

As noted below in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” we have historically experienced a high employee turnover

rate, and during the past several years have experienced labor-related issues in Argentina. Other than with
respect to the labor situation in Argentina, we have not experienced any significant work stoppages associated
with labor disputes or grievances and consider our relations with our employees to be generally satisfactory.

Governmental Regulations

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to health,
safety and the environment. We cannot predict the level of enforcement of existing laws or regulations or how
such laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings in the future. We also
cannot predict whether additional laws and regulations affecting our business will be adopted, or the effect
such changes might have on us, our financial condition or our business. The following is a summary of the
more significant existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which our operations are
subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

8

Environmental Regulations

Our operations routinely involve the storage, handling, transport and disposal of bulk waste materials,

some of which contain oil, contaminants and other regulated substances. Various environmental laws and
regulations require prevention, and where necessary, cleanup of spills and leaks of such materials, and some of
our operations must obtain permits that limit the discharge of materials. Failure to comply with such
environmental requirements or permits may result in fines and penalties, remediation orders and revocation of
permits.

Hazardous Substances and Waste

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, referred to
as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund” law, and comparable state laws, impose liability without regard to fault or
the legality of the original conduct on certain defined persons, including current and prior owners or operators
of a site where a release of hazardous substances occurred and entities that disposed or arranged for the
disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Under CERCLA, these “responsible persons” may be
jointly and severally liable for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances, for damages to natural
resources and for the costs of certain health studies.

In the course of our operations, we occasionally generate materials that are considered “hazardous
substances” and, as a result, may incur CERCLA liability for cleanup costs. Also, claims may be filed for
personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances or other
pollutants. We also generate solid wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, as amended, or “RCRA,” and comparable state statutes.

Although we use operating and disposal practices that are standard in the industry, hydrocarbons or other

wastes may have been released at properties owned or leased by us now or in the past, or at other locations
where these hydrocarbons and wastes were taken for treatment or disposal. Under CERCLA, RCRA and
analogous state laws, we could be required to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated
groundwater), or to perform remedial activities to prevent future contamination.

Air Emissions

The Clean Air Act, as amended, or “CAA,” and similar state laws and regulations restrict the emission of
air pollutants and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. These laws and regulations may
require us to obtain approvals or permits for construction, modification or operation of certain projects or
facilities and may require use of emission controls.

Global Warming and Climate Change

Some scientific studies suggest that emissions of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and

methane) may contribute to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. While we do not believe our operations raise
climate change issues different from those generally raised by commercial use of fossil fuels, legislation or
regulatory programs that restrict greenhouse gas emissions in areas where we conduct business could increase
our costs in order to comply with any new laws.

Water Discharges

We operate facilities that are subject to requirements of the Clean Water Act, as amended, or “CWA,” and
analogous state laws that impose restrictions and controls on the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters.
Spill prevention, control and counter-measure requirements under the CWA require implementation of
measures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a hydrocarbon spill. Other
requirements for the prevention of spills are established under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended, or
“OPA,” which amends the CWA and applies to owners and operators of vessels, including barges, offshore
platforms and certain onshore facilities. Under OPA, regulated parties are strictly jointly and severally liable

9

for oil spills and must establish and maintain evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to cover liabilities
related to an oil spill for which such parties could be statutorily responsible.

Occupational Safety and Health Act

We are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, or
“OSHA,” and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of employee health and safety. OSHA’s hazard
communication standard requires that information about hazardous materials used or produced in our
operations be maintained and provided to employees and state and local government authorities. We believe
that our operations are in substantial compliance with OSHA requirements.

Saltwater Disposal Wells

We operate SWD wells that are subject to the CWA, Safe Drinking Water Act, and state and local laws
and regulations, including those established by the Underground Injection Control Program of the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency (“EPA”), which establishes the minimum program requirements. Most of our SWD
wells are located in Texas. We also operate SWD wells in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and North
Dakota. Regulations in these states require us to obtain an Underground Injection Control permit to operate
each of our SWD wells. The applicable regulatory agency may suspend or modify one of our permits if our
well operation is likely to result in pollution of freshwater, substantial violation of permit conditions or
applicable rules, or if the well leaks into the environment.

Access to Company Reports

Our Web site address is www.keyenergy.com, and we make available free of charge through our Web site

our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all
amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our Web site also includes general information
about us, including our Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters for the committees of our board of
directors. Information on our Web site or any other Web site is not a part of this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating

us and our business.

BUSINESS-RELATED RISK FACTORS

Our business is cyclical and depends on conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, especially oil and
natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies. Volatility in oil and natural
gas prices, tight credit markets and disruptions in the U.S. and global financial systems may adversely
impact our business.

Prices for oil and natural gas historically have been extremely volatile and have reacted to changes in the
supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. These include changes resulting from, among other things, the
ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to support oil prices, domestic and worldwide
economic conditions and political instability in oil-producing countries. We depend on our customers’
willingness to make expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas. Therefore, weakness
in oil and natural gas prices (or the perception by our customers that oil and natural gas prices will decrease in
the future) could result in a reduction in the utilization of our equipment and result in lower rates for our
services. Our customers’ willingness to undertake these activities depends largely upon prevailing industry
conditions that are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including:

(cid:129) prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas;

(cid:129) domestic and worldwide economic conditions;

10

(cid:129) domestic and foreign supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;

(cid:129) the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;

(cid:129) the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;

(cid:129) available pipeline, storage and other transportation capacity;

(cid:129) lead times associated with acquiring equipment and products and availability of qualified personnel;

(cid:129) the expected rates of decline in production from existing and prospective wells;

(cid:129) the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves;

(cid:129) federal, state and local regulation of exploration and drilling activities and equipment, material or

supplies that we furnish;

(cid:129) public pressure on, and legislative and regulatory interest within, federal, state and local governments to

stop, significantly limit or regulate hydraulic fracturing activities;

(cid:129) weather conditions, including hurricanes that can affect oil and natural gas operations over a wide area

and severe winter weather that can interfere with our sand mining operations;

(cid:129) political instability in oil and natural gas producing companies;

(cid:129) advances in exploration, development and production technologies or in technologies affecting energy

consumption;

(cid:129) the price and availability of alternative fuel and energy sources; and

(cid:129) uncertainty in capital and commodities markets and the ability of oil and natural gas producers to raise

equity capital and debt financing.

The level of oil and natural gas exploration and production activity in the United States is volatile. A
reduction in the activity levels of our customers could cause a decline in the demand for our services and may
adversely affect the prices that we can charge or collect for our services. In addition, any prolonged substantial
reduction in oil and natural gas prices would likely affect oil and natural gas production levels and, therefore,
would affect demand for the services we provide. A material decline in oil and natural gas prices or drilling
activity levels or sustained lower prices or activity levels could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Moreover, reduced discovery rates of new oil and
natural gas reserves, or a decrease in the development rate of reserves, in our market areas, whether due to
increased governmental regulation, limitations on exploration and drilling activity or other factors, could also
have a material adverse impact on our business, even in a stronger oil and natural gas price environment.

We operate in a highly cyclical industry. Changes in current or anticipated future prices for crude oil and

natural gas are a primary factor affecting spending and drilling activity by exploration and production
companies, and decreases in spending and drilling activity can cause rapid and material declines in demand
for our services. For example, in 2009 adverse changes in capital and credit markets and declines in prices for
oil and natural gas caused many exploration and production companies to reduce capital budgets and drilling
activity. This trend resulted in a significant decline in demand for our services, had a material negative impact
on the prices we were able to charge our customers, and adversely affected our equipment utilization and
results of operations. Future cuts in spending levels or drilling activity could have similar adverse effects on
our operating results and financial condition, and such effects could be material.

We may be unable to implement price increases or maintain existing prices on our core services.

We periodically seek to increase the prices on our services to offset rising costs and to generate higher
returns for our stockholders. However, we operate in a very competitive industry and as a result, we are not
always successful in raising, or maintaining, our existing prices. For example, beginning in the third quarter of
2008 and continuing through the first half of 2009, we were required to make price concessions in order to
maintain market share. Additionally, during periods of increased market demand, a significant amount of new

11

service capacity, including new well service rigs, coiled tubing units and new fishing and rental equipment,
may enter the market, which also puts pressure on the pricing of our services and limits our ability to increase
prices.

Even when we are able to increase our prices, we may not be able to do so at a rate that is sufficient to
offset such rising costs. In periods of high demand for oilfield services, a tighter labor market may result in
higher labor costs. For example in 2010, our labor costs increased at a greater rate than our ability to raise
prices for our services. During such periods, we may not be able to successfully increase prices without
adversely affecting demand for our services.

The inability to maintain our pricing and to increase our pricing as costs increase could have a material

adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Increased labor costs or the unavailability of skilled workers could hurt our operations.

Companies in our industry, including us, are dependent upon the available labor pool of skilled
employees. We compete with other oilfield services businesses and other employers to attract and retain
qualified personnel with the technical skills and experience required to provide our customers with the highest
quality service. We are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum
wage, overtime and other working conditions. A shortage in the labor pool of skilled workers or other general
inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to
attract and retain personnel and could require us to enhance our wage and benefits packages. We cannot assure
you that labor costs will not increase. Increases in our labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future financial results could be adversely impacted by asset impairments or other charges.

We have recorded goodwill impairment charges and asset impairment charges in the past. We evaluate
our long-lived assets, including our property and equipment, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and goodwill for
impairment. In performing these assessments, we project future cash flows on a discounted basis for goodwill,
and on an undiscounted basis for other long-lived assets, and compare these cash flows to the carrying amount
of the related assets. These cash flow projections are based on our current operating plans, estimates and
judgmental assumptions. We perform the assessment of potential impairment on our goodwill and indefinite-
lived intangible assets at least annually, or more often if events and circumstances warrant. We perform the
assessment of potential impairment for our property and equipment whenever facts and circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable due to various external or internal factors. If we
determine that our estimates of future cash flows were inaccurate or our actual results are materially different
from what we have predicted, we could record additional impairment charges in future periods, which could
have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We have operated at a loss in the past and there is no assurance of our profitability in the future.

We had net operating losses from continuing operations during each of the six fiscal quarters ended
December 31, 2010. In the future, we may incur further operating losses and experience negative operating
cash flow. We may not be able to reduce our costs, increase revenues, or reduce our debt service obligations
sufficient to achieve profitability and generate positive operating income in the future.

Our business involves certain operating risks, which are primarily self-insured, and our insurance may
not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities we might incur in our operations.

Our operations are subject to many hazards and risks, including the following:

(cid:129) accidents resulting in serious bodily injury and the loss of life or property;

(cid:129) liabilities from accidents or damage by our fleet of trucks, rigs and other equipment;

(cid:129) pollution and other damage to the environment;

12

(cid:129) reservoir damage;

(cid:129) blow-outs, the uncontrolled flow of natural gas, oil or other well fluids into the atmosphere or an

underground formation; and

(cid:129) fires and explosions.

If any of these hazards occur, they could result in suspension of operations, damage to or destruction of

our equipment and the property of others, or injury or death to our or a third party’s personnel.

We self-insure against a significant portion of these liabilities. For losses in excess of our self-insurance

limits, we maintain insurance from unaffiliated commercial carriers. However, our insurance may not be
adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that we might incur in our operations. Furthermore, our insurance
may not adequately protect us against liability from all of the hazards of our business. We also are subject to
the risk that we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at a
reasonable cost. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were uninsured or for which we were
not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

We are subject to the economic, political and social instability risks of doing business in certain foreign
countries.

We currently have operations based in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia, Argentina and a

technology development group based in Canada, and have ownership interests in two oilfield service
companies based in Canada. In the future, we may expand our operations into other foreign countries. As a
result, we are exposed to risks of international operations, including:

(cid:129) increased governmental ownership and regulation of the economy in the markets where we operate;

(cid:129) inflation and adverse economic conditions stemming from governmental attempts to reduce inflation,

such as imposition of higher interest rates and wage and price controls;

(cid:129) economic and financial instability of national oil companies;

(cid:129) increased trade barriers, such as higher tariffs and taxes on imports of commodity products;

(cid:129) exposure to foreign currency exchange rates;

(cid:129) exchange controls or other currency restrictions;

(cid:129) war, civil unrest or significant political instability;

(cid:129) restrictions on repatriation of income or capital;

(cid:129) expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization or other government actions with respect to our

assets located in the markets where we operate;

(cid:129) governmental policies limiting investments by and returns to foreign investors;

(cid:129) labor unrest and strikes, including the significant labor-related issues we have experienced in Argentina;

(cid:129) deprivation of contract rights; and

(cid:129) restrictive governmental regulation and bureaucratic delays.

The occurrence of one or more of these risks may:

(cid:129) negatively impact our results of operations;

(cid:129) restrict the movement of funds and equipment to and from affected countries; and

(cid:129) inhibit our ability to collect receivables.

13

Historically, we have experienced a high employee turnover rate. Any difficulty we experience replacing
or adding workers could adversely affect our business.

Historically, we have experienced a high annual employee turnover rate. We believe that the high turnover

rate is attributable to the nature of the work, which is physically demanding and performed outdoors. As a
result, workers may choose to pursue employment in fields that offer a more desirable work environment at
wage rates that are competitive with ours. The potential inability or lack of desire by workers to commute to
our facilities and job sites, as well as the competition for workers from competitors or other industries, are
factors that could negatively affect our ability to attract and retain workers. We cannot assure that we will be
able to recruit, train and retain an adequate number of workers to replace departing workers. The inability to
maintain an adequate workforce could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

We may not be successful in implementing and maintaining technology development and enhancements.

An important component of our business strategy is to incorporate the KeyView» system, our proprietary

technology, into our well service rigs. The inability to successfully develop, integrate and protect this
technology could:

(cid:129) limit our ability to improve our market position;

(cid:129) increase our operating costs; and

(cid:129) limit our ability to recoup the investments made in this technological initiative.

We may incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations that govern our operations.

Our operations are subject to U.S. federal, state and local and foreign laws and regulations that impose
limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment and establish standards for the handling, storage
and disposal of waste materials, including toxic and hazardous wastes. To comply with these laws and
regulations, we must obtain and maintain numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various
governmental authorities. While the cost of such compliance has not been significant in the past, new laws,
regulations or enforcement policies could become more stringent and significantly increase our compliance
costs or limit our future business opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.

Failure to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could result in the
assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, imposition of cleanup and site restoration costs and
liens, revocation of permits, and, to a lesser extent, orders to limit or cease certain operations. Certain
environmental laws impose strict and/or joint and several liability, which could cause us to become liable for
the conduct of others or for consequences of our own actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws
at the time of those actions.

Severe weather could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather. Oil and natural gas operations
of our customers located in Louisiana and parts of Texas may be adversely affected by hurricanes and tropical
storms, resulting in reduced demand for our services. Furthermore, our customers’ operations in the Rocky
Mountain and Atlantic Coast regions of the United States may be adversely affected by seasonal weather
conditions in the winter months. Adverse weather can also directly impede our own operations. Repercussions
of severe weather conditions may include:

(cid:129) curtailment of services;

(cid:129) weather-related damage to facilities and equipment, resulting in suspension of operations;

14

(cid:129) inability to deliver equipment, personnel and products to job sites in accordance with contract

schedules; and

(cid:129) loss of productivity.

These constraints could delay our operations and materially increase our operating and capital costs.
Unusually warm winters may also adversely affect the demand for our services by decreasing the demand for
natural gas.

We may not be successful in identifying, making and integrating acquisitions.

An important component of our growth strategy is to make acquisitions that will strengthen our core
services or presence in selected markets. The success of this strategy will depend, among other things, on our
ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to negotiate acceptable financial and other terms, to timely
and successfully integrate acquired business or assets into our existing businesses and to retain the key
personnel and the customer base of acquired businesses. Any future acquisitions could present a number of
risks, including but not limited to:

(cid:129) incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets or expected cost
reductions or other synergies expected to be realized as a result of acquiring operations or assets;

(cid:129) failure to integrate successfully the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets in a

timely manner;

(cid:129) diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities; and

(cid:129) inability to secure sufficient financing, on terms we find acceptable, that may be required for any such

acquisition or investment.

Our business plan anticipates, and is based upon our ability to successfully complete and integrate,

acquisitions of other businesses or assets in a timely and cost effective manner. Our failure to do so could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The loss of one or more of our largest customers could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Although no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total consolidated revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2010, our ten largest customers made up approximately 55% of our revenues. The loss of
one or more of these customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Compliance with climate change legislation or initiatives could negatively impact our business.

There have been new federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives proposed in an attempt to
control or limit the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide. In June 2009, the U.S. House
of Representatives approved The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. However, neither this bill
nor a related bill in the U.S. Senate, The Clean Energy and Emissions Power Act was passed by Congress.
Several states have passed legislation which impose certain requirements on motor vehicle emissions and some
states require greenhouse gas reporting. In addition, in response to its endangerment finding in 2009, EPA
adopted regulations that restrict motor vehicle emissions. These regulations took effect on January 2, 2011. At
this time, it is not possible to predict how legislation or new federal or state government mandates regarding
the emission of greenhouse gases could impact our business; however, any such future laws or regulations
could require us or our customers to devote potentially material amounts of capital or other resources in order
to comply with such regulations. These expenditures could have a material adverse impact on our financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

15

DEBT-RELATED RISK FACTORS

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, and to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend

on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to conditions in the oil and
natural gas industry, general economic and financial conditions, competition in the markets where we operate,
the impact of legislative and regulatory actions on how we conduct our business and other factors, all of which
are beyond our control. This risk could be exacerbated by any economic downturn or instability in the U.S. and
global credit markets.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our

outstanding indebtedness, or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us
to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other capital needs. If our business does not generate sufficient cash
flow from operations to service our outstanding indebtedness, we may have to undertake alternative financing
plans, such as:

(cid:129) refinancing or restructuring our debt;

(cid:129) selling assets;

(cid:129) reducing or delaying acquisitions or capital investments, such as remanufacturing our rigs and related

equipment; or

(cid:129) seeking to raise additional capital.

We may not be able to implement alternative financing plans, if necessary, on commercially reasonable

terms or at all, and implementing any such alternative financing plans may not allow us to meet our debt
obligations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to obtain
alternative financings, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and future prospects for growth.

In addition, a downgrade in our credit rating would make it more difficult for us to raise additional debt

financing in the future. However, such a credit downgrade would not have an effect on our currently
outstanding senior debt under our indenture or senior secured credit facility.

The amount of our debt and the covenants in the agreements governing our debt could negatively impact
our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

Our level of indebtedness, and the covenants contained in the agreements governing our debt, could have

important consequences for our operations, including:

(cid:129) making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness and increasing the risk

that we may default on our debt obligations;

(cid:129) requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to required payments on
indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow for working capital, capital expenditures
and other general business activities;

(cid:129) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures,

acquisitions and general corporate and other activities;

(cid:129) limiting management’s flexibility in operating our business;

(cid:129) limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which

we operate;

(cid:129) diminishing our ability to withstand successfully a downturn in our business or the economy generally;

(cid:129) placing us at a competitive disadvantage against less leveraged competitors; and

16

(cid:129) making us vulnerable to increases in interest rates, because certain debt will vary with prevailing

interest rates.

We may be required to repay all or a portion of our debt on an accelerated basis in certain circumstances.

If we fail to comply with the covenants and other restrictions in the agreements governing our debt, it could
lead to an event of default and the consequent acceleration of our obligation to repay outstanding debt. Our
ability to comply with debt covenants and other restrictions may be affected by events beyond our control,
including general economic and financial conditions.

In particular, under the terms of our indebtedness, we must comply with certain financial ratios and
satisfy certain financial condition tests, several of which become more restrictive over time and could require
us to take action to reduce our debt or take some other action in order to comply with them. Our ability to
satisfy required financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing
economic, financial and industry conditions, and we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet those
ratios and tests in the future. A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or tests could result in a default under
our indebtedness. If we default, our credit facility lenders will no longer be obligated to extend credit to us
and they, as well as the trustee for our outstanding notes, could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under
the indenture or senior secured credit facility, as applicable, together with accrued interest, to be immediately
due and payable. The results of such actions would have a significant negative impact on our results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obliga-
tions to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our senior secured credit facility bear interest at variable rates, exposing us to interest

rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase
even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash available for servicing our
indebtedness would decrease.

TAKEOVER PROTECTION-RELATED RISKS

Our bylaws contain provisions that may prevent or delay a change in control.

Our bylaws contain certain provisions designed to enhance the ability of the board of directors to respond

to unsolicited attempts to acquire control of the Company. These provisions:

(cid:129) establish a classified board of directors, providing for three-year staggered terms of office for all

members of our board of directors;

(cid:129) set limitations on the removal of directors;

(cid:129) provide our board of directors the ability to set the number of directors and to fill vacancies on the

board of directors occurring between stockholder meetings; and

(cid:129) set limitations on who may call a special meeting of stockholders.

These provisions may have the effect of entrenching management and may deprive investors of the
opportunity to sell their shares to potential acquirers at a premium over prevailing prices. This potential
inability to obtain a control premium could reduce the price of our common stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We lease office space for our principal executive offices in Houston, Texas. We also lease local office
space in the various countries in which we operate. Additionally, we own or lease numerous rig facilities,

17

storage facilities, truck facilities and sales and administrative offices throughout the geographic regions in
which we operate. Also, in connection with our fluid management services, we operate a number of owned
and leased SWD facilities, and brine and freshwater stations. Our leased properties are subject to various lease
terms and expirations.

We believe all properties that we currently occupy are suitable for their intended uses. We believe that we

have sufficient facilities to conduct our operations. However, we continue to evaluate the purchase or lease of
additional properties or the consolidation of our properties, as our business requires.

The following table shows our active owned and leased properties, as well as active SWD facilities,

we lease both the wellbore and the land. Lease terms vary among different sites, but with respect to some
of the SWD facilities for which we lease the land and own the wellbore, the land owner has an option
under the land lease to retain the wellbore at the termination of the lease.

(3) Includes one property in Russia owned by Geostream and one leased property in the Middle East.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various suits and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. We do not
believe that the disposition of any of our ordinary course litigation will result in a material adverse effect on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For additional information on legal
proceedings, see “Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies” in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supple-

On December 20, 2010, we issued 54,400 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of

warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 12, 2009, in connection with the
settlement of a lawsuit, the Company had issued to two individuals warrants to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock. The issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants was made in reliance upon
the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2)
thereof for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read

in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in “Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data.” The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are
based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances including
those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ
materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertain-
ties. Such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under “Item 1A. Risk
Factors.”

Overview

We provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and
independent oil and natural gas production companies to complete, maintain and enhance the flow of oil and
natural gas throughout the life of a well. These services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based well
maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services,
and fishing and rental services and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain of our rigs are capable
of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the
continental United States, and have operations based in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and
Argentina. In addition, we have a technology development group based in Canada and have ownership
interests in two oilfield service companies based in Canada.

During 2010, we operated in two business segments, Well Servicing and Production Services. On
October 1, 2010, we sold the majority of the lines of business within our Production Services segment. We

23

also have a Functional Support segment associated with managing all of our reportable operating segments.
For a full description of our operating segments, see “Service Offerings” in “Item 1. Business.”

Effective for the first quarter of 2011, we will begin reporting under two new business segments: U.S. and

International. Financial results for all periods presented in future filings will be restated to reflect the change
in operating segments. We revised our segments to reflect the change in our operating focus and our
assessment of operations and resource allocation in making decisions regarding Key.

Business and Growth Strategies

Focus on Horizontal Well Services

In recent years the number of horizontal wells drilled has increased significantly. To capitalize on this

growing market segment we have acquired new equipment, and upgraded existing equipment, capable of
providing services integral to the completion and maintenance of horizontal wellbores. We recently added
larger and higher horsepower well service rigs to our fleet that are capable of servicing the horizontal
wellbores, and in 2010, we expanded the number of our coiled tubing units by 72%, 60% of which currently
consist of extended-reach, long-lateral coiled tubing units. In addition, we established our fluids management
business in the Bakken Shale in 2010. We intend to continue our focus on the expansion of horizontal well
service offerings into new markets in the United States.

Continue Expansion in International Markets

We presently operate internationally in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and Argentina, areas
with large oilfields with declining production. We believe that our domestic experience with mature oilfields
and our proprietary technology, such as the KeyView» system, provides us with the opportunity to compete for
new business in foreign markets that have mature oilfields similar to those in the United States. We continue
to evaluate international expansion opportunities and seek to redeploy underutilized assets to international
markets.

Pursue Prudent Acquisitions in Complementary Businesses

We intend to continue our disciplined approach to acquisitions, seeking opportunities that strengthen our
presence in selected regional markets and provide opportunities to expand our core services. For example, our
recent acquisition of coiled tubing businesses expands the range of services that we can offer to customers
engaged in the rapidly growing horizontal well drilling trend.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In determining the overall health of the oilfield service industry, we believe that the Baker Hughes

U.S. land drilling rig count is the best barometer of capital spending and activity levels, since this data is
made publicly available on a weekly basis. Historically, our activity levels have been highly correlated to
capital spending by oil and natural gas producers.

Internally, we measure activity levels for our well servicing operations primarily through our rig and
trucking hours. Generally, as capital spending by oil and natural gas producers increases, demand for our
services also rises, resulting in increased rig and trucking services and more hours worked. Conversely, when
activity levels decline due to lower spending by oil and natural gas producers, we generally provide fewer rig
and trucking services, which results in lower hours worked. We publicly release our monthly rig and trucking
hours and the following table presents our quarterly rig and trucking hours from 2008 through 2010.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

Market Conditions — Year Ended December 31, 2010

During 2010, overall demand for the services that we provide improved considerably compared to 2009.

The Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count average for 2010 was 1,514 rigs, up 44.8% compared to the 2009
average of 1,046 rigs. The increase in oilfield activity in 2010 was driven primarily by increases in oil prices,
and the associated increase in capital spending on oilfield services during the year. During 2010, the West
Texas Intermediate crude oil price averaged $79.48 per barrel, up 28.3% compared to the 2009 average price
of $61.95 per barrel. Natural gas at the Henry Hub averaged $4.38 per Mcf in 2010, an increase of 2.3% from
the 2009 average price of $4.28 per Mcf.

As a result of the increase in oil prices and our customers’ associated increase in capital spending, Key’s

overall activity levels, asset utilization, and prices increased in 2010. In 2010, our rigs worked almost
2.0 million hours, an increase of 11.9% from the 1.8 million hours worked in 2009. Our fluid transportation
trucks worked a total of 2.2 million hours in 2010, which was an increase of 29.3% compared to the
1.7 million trucking hours worked in 2009. Additionally, our customers’ capital spending and therefore our
overall activity levels benefitted from the improved credit markets in 2010 compared to 2009.

As overall market conditions recovered from the lows experienced during 2009, we responded by making

several strategic changes to better position Key in certain geographic areas and businesses that we perceived
would yield higher long-term growth and better overall investment returns. In particular, we sold our pressure
pumping and wireline businesses, sold our marine rig assets and significantly increased our investment in our
coiled tubing business. Also in 2010, we upgraded or re-activated several well servicing and workover rigs, we

25

made a significant investment in our fluid transportation business into the Bakken shale of the Williston Basin
in North Dakota, and we deployed several rigs, fluid transportation trucks, coiled tubing units, and other assets
into high growth regions including the Bakken shale and the Eagle Ford shale. Internationally, we initiated
new operations in Colombia and Bahrain in the second half of 2010. In Colombia, our first project for
$25 million involves two rigs over two years, and operations under this award started early in the fourth
quarter 2010. In Bahrain, we were awarded our first project through our joint venture in the Middle East for
two rigs over two years. One rig began operations in early December and the second rig began operating in
early January. In Mexico, one of our two contracts with Pemex expired at the end of March 2010. The second
of the two contracts remained in place in 2010, but it received limited funding during the year, leading to our
activity levels in the country being significantly reduced through much of 2010.

Many of the temporary cost reduction measures we put into place in 2009, including reductions in wages

and benefits, remained in place for most of 2010 and some were not re-instated until early 2011. While we
continue to aggressively monitor and control costs, inflation of wages, fuel costs, and equipment costs
remained a significant challenge throughout 2010.

Market Outlook

We believe the macro fundamental backdrop which drove the oilfield expansion in 2010 will remain
present through 2011. Specifically, the ongoing global economic expansion continues to drive increased global
demand for crude oil and natural gas. Despite the weak domestic natural gas fundamental outlook, we believe
the strong fundamental oil outlook sets the stage for continued growth in production companies’ capital
spending in 2011, both domestically and internationally. If there were a material change in the domestic or
global economies in 2011, then the outlook for Key’s business in 2011 and 2012 could change.

We believe our U.S. lines of business will experience continued higher demand and resulting higher
overall activity levels in 2011 compared to 2010. In our rig-based services business, we intend to address
higher customer demand by continuing to upgrade and enhance several of our higher capability rigs, to
improve operational efficiency of the existing fleet, and to grow our fleet through organic additions,
particularly of larger rig classes.

In fluids management, our business tends to be driven by the overall number of producing oil and gas

wells, as it relates to both the hauling of produced water from wells and the U.S. onshore rig count, but
especially the horizontal onshore U.S. rig count, as it relates to the transportation of drilling fluid, completion
fluid, and water to make frac fluids, to and from well sites. We continue to expand our fluid transportation
fleet and invest in additional, strategically located SWD wells.

In our coiled tubing business, activity is driven by the number of producing oil and gas wells in the
U.S. and new horizontal well drilling. We anticipate demand for all these services to remain strong in 2011, if
not longer, particularly horizontal well completion and fracture stimulation related activities. In 2010, due to
strong customer demand and limited availability of extended-reach, long-lateral coiled tubing fleets industry-
wide, we realized higher levels of pricing. We anticipate a continued strong pricing environment for horizontal
well driven coiled tubing services in 2011.

Our fishing and rental services business tends to be correlated to the onshore rig count. We anticipate

moderate to strong customer demand growth in 2011, and we continue to invest in this business to meet that
growth in demand with a greater inventory of fishing and rental tools; and we are seeking investments in new
or existing technologies which can enhance our fishing and rental services.

Since our initial project award in Colombia in 2010, five additional rigs have been awarded projects for

work in the country, bringing our total active rig fleet in Colombia to seven. All seven of these rigs were
previously deployed in Mexico but were inactive in 2010. We anticipate strong demand for these rigs in
Colombia through 2011 and beyond.

Since our initial project award in Bahrain, a third rig has been added to the scope of work, and it should
begin operating in the first quarter of 2011. We anticipate the three rigs will remain active through 2012. The
operation in the Middle East will be performed by our joint venture in the Middle East.

26

In Mexico, Pemex has begun operating under its 2011 capital budget, and our activity levels have begun
to increase from the depressed levels during 2010. We anticipate strong demand through most of 2011 for our
rigs currently deployed in Mexico, primarily in the Chicontepec region. We continue to seek additional
opportunities for work in other regions of Mexico, particularly in the south. If we were awarded additional
work, we may deploy additional rig assets to the country.

In Argentina, overall activity levels continue to increase, driven by higher oil prices. We continue to seek

better pricing for our services from our customers to generate appropriate returns for our investment in the
country and to aggressively manage our costs.

In Russia, we anticipate better activity and financial performance in 2011 compared to 2010, as we expect
the two new purpose-built, 1,000-HP drilling rigs and the two new purpose-built, 500-HP heavy workover rigs,
for our joint venture in Russia, to contribute nearly a full year of operations in 2011.

Impact of Inflation on Operations

In 2011, we anticipate cost inflation to remain one of our biggest challenges. We expect that competition
for experienced crews throughout the oilfield services industry will continue to put upward pressure on wages.
Access to experienced, capable crews remains one of our biggest challenges to growth. We also anticipate the
need to mitigate equipment and fuel costs in 2011. In addition to effective, active cost management, we
endeavor to secure prices for our services which anticipate cost inflation, such that we can still generate an
appropriate return for our services.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

For the year ended December 31, 2010, income was $73.5 million, compared to a loss of $156.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2009. Income for 2010 was $0.57 per share compared to a loss of $1.29 per
share for 2009. Included in income and income per share during 2010 is the gain on the sale of our pressure
pumping and wireline businesses on October 1, 2010. Also, the 2009 results included asset retirement and
impairment charges of $97.0 million that did not reoccur in 2010.

Revenues

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased $198.0 million, or 20.7% to $1.2 billion

from $1.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2009 as a result of increased activity and improved pricing
compared to 2009 as well as the revenue contribution of acquisitions completed during 2010. See “Segment
Operating Results — Year Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009” below for a more detailed discussion of the
change in our revenues.

Direct operating expenses

Our direct operating expenses increased $159.1 million, or 23.5%, to $835.0 million (72.4% of revenues)

for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $675.9 million (70.7% of revenues) for the year ended
December 31, 2009 as a direct result of activity increases in our business as well as inflation in our operating
costs. See “Segment Operating Results — Year Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009” below for a more
detailed discussion of the change in our direct operating expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.2 million, or 8.2%, to $137.0 million (11.9% of

revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $149.2 million (15.6% of revenue) for the year
ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in our depreciation and amortization expense is primarily attributable
to decreases in the carrying value of our fixed assets due to the rig retirement and asset impairment charges
recorded in the third quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting this decline are increases to our fixed asset base in
2010 due to our capital spending and acquisitions during the year.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $26.1 million, or 15.2%, to $198.3 million (17.2% of
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $172.1 million (18.0% of revenues) for the year
ended December 31, 2009. Our general and administrative expenses increased due to additional stock based
compensation expense related to new equity awards in 2010 and bonuses paid in 2010 that were not present in
2009, offset by less professional fees during 2010 related to our cost reduction efforts. Transaction costs
incurred during 2010 related to our acquisition of OFS also contributed to the increase.

Asset retirements and impairments

During the year ended December 31, 2010 we did not have any asset retirements or impairments
compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, where we recognized a $97.0 million pre-tax charge
associated with asset retirements and impairments. For 2009, our pre-tax charges included $65.9 million
related to the retirement of certain of our rigs and associated equipment and a $31.1 million pre-tax
impairment charge in our Production Services segment.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized

Interest expense increased $2.6 million to $42.0 million (3.6% of revenues) for the year ended

December 31, 2010, compared to $39.4 million (4.1% of revenues) for the same period in 2009, due to higher
interest rates on our borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with lower capitalized
interest due to lower capital expenditures related to the construction of equipment.

Other, net

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized other income, net, of $2.7 million, compared

to other income, net, of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Other, net consists of:

Income tax benefit (expense)

Our income tax benefit on continuing operations was $20.5 million (36.7% effective rate) on a pre-tax

loss of $55.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to an income tax benefit of
$66.0 million (37.2% effective rate) on a pre-tax loss of $177.2 million in 2009. Our effective tax rates differ
from the statutory rate of 35% primarily because of state, local and foreign income taxes, and the tax effects
of permanent items attributable to book-tax differences.

Discontinued Operations

We recorded net income from discontinued operations of $105.7 million for the year ended December 31,

2010, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $45.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2009. The loss in 2009 mostly related to the asset impairment recorded on our pressure pumping equipment in
the third quarter of 2009. Discontinued operations improved in 2010 for our fracturing and cementing services
within our pressure pumping operations, due to higher activity, expansion into new markets and better pricing.
We also recorded a gain on the sale of the discontinued operations in October 2010. See “Note 3.
Discontinued Operations” under Item 8. for further discussion.

Noncontrolling Interest

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we allocated out $3.1 million, compared to $0.6 million for the

year ended December 31, 2009, associated with the net loss incurred by our joint ventures.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

For the year ended December 31, 2009, our loss was $156.1 million, a decrease from income of
$84.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The loss for 2009 was $1.29 per share compared to
income of $0.67 per share for 2008. Items contributing to the net loss and diluted loss per share during 2009
included the retirement of a portion of our U.S. rig fleet and associated equipment ($65.9 million pre-tax) and
an impairment to our Production Services segment ($31.1 million pre-tax). Also contributing to the loss was
the dramatic and rapid decline in our activity levels and our inability to remove costs at the same pace as the
decline in our revenue in 2009.

Revenues

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $1.0 billion, a decrease of $668.7 million, or

41.2%, from $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008. See “Segment Operating Results — Year
Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008” below for a more detailed discussion of the change in our revenues.

29

Direct operating expenses

Our direct operating expenses decreased $329.9 million, or 32.8%, to $675.9 million (70.7% of revenues)

for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1.0 billion (61.9% of revenues) for the year ended
December 31, 2008. See “Segment Operating Results — Year Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008” below for
a more detailed discussion of the change in our direct operating expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.4 million, or less than 1.0%, to $149.2 million
(15.6% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $149.6 million (9.2% of revenues)
for the same period in 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense was flat year over year primarily due to a
decrease in the depreciable asset base as a result of the rig retirement and asset impairment charges recorded
in the third quarter of 2009, offset by increases due to the accelerated depreciation of assets that we removed
from service during the first half of 2009 in response to a downturn in market conditions.

Asset retirements and impairments

For 2009, pre-tax charges included $65.9 million related to the retirement of certain of our rigs and

associated equipment. We also recorded a $30.6 million pre-tax fixed asset impairment charge in our
Production Services segment. Additionally, we determined that the goodwill recorded in 2009 for contingent
consideration paid related to a prior year acquisition in the fishing and rental services line of business within
our Production Services segment was impaired, and as such we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of
$0.5 million during 2009.

In 2008, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $20.7 million related to our pressure pumping

services and fishing and rental services lines of business within our Production Services segment as the
implied fair value of the goodwill was less than the carrying value.

During 2008, the fair value of our investment in IROC Energy Services Corp. (“IROC”), based on
publicly available stock prices, remained below its book value. In the fourth quarter of 2008, management
determined that, based on IROC’s continued depressed stock price and the overall negative outlook for the
general economy and oilfield services sector, the impairment was other than temporary and as a result we
recorded a pre-tax charge of $5.4 million in order to write the carrying value of our investment in IROC down
to fair value.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $172.1 million (18.0% of revenues) for the year ended

December 31, 2009, which represented a decrease of $74.2 million, or 30.1%, from $246.3 million (15.2% of
revenues) for the same period in 2008. Our general and administrative expenses declined as a result of cost
cutting measures that we put in place beginning in late 2008 and that continued into 2009 related to reductions
in headcount, employee wage rate and benefits reductions, and controlled spending in overhead costs. Equity-
based compensation was also lower during the year ended December 31, 2009 as a result of our having
accelerated the vesting period on the majority of our stock option and stock appreciation right (“SAR”) awards
during the fourth quarter of 2008. As a result of the acceleration, no expense was recognized on these awards
during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized

Interest expense decreased $3.2 million, to $39.4 million (4.1% of revenues) for the year ended

December 31, 2009, compared to $42.6 million (2.6% of revenues) for the same period in 2008. The decline
was primarily attributable to lower average interest rates on our variable-rate debt instruments, and the
repayment of $100.0 million of our revolving credit facility during the second quarter of 2009.

Income tax expense

Our income tax benefit was $66.0 million (37.2% effective rate) for the year ended December 31, 2009,

compared to income tax expense of $81.9 million (54.1% effective rate) for the year ended December 31,
2008. Our effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate of 35% primarily because of state, local and
foreign income taxes, and the tax effects of permanent items attributable to book-tax differences and for 2008,
the impairment of goodwill.

Discontinued Operations

We recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $45.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2009, compared to net income from discontinued operations of $14.3 million for the year ended December 31,

the third quarter of 2009. See “Note 3. Discontinued Operations” under Item 8. for further discussion.

Noncontrolling Interest

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we allocated out $0.6 million, compared to $0.2 million for the

year ended December 31, 2008, associated with the net loss incurred by our joint venture in the Russian
Federation.

Well Servicing

Revenues for our Well Servicing segment increased $120.5 million, or 14.0% to $980.3 million for the

year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $859.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
increase in revenues resulted from sequential improvements in U.S. activity since 2009, international
expansion, improved pricing and additional revenues from 2010 acquisitions, offset by lower revenues
attributable to our operations in Mexico due to a decrease in work for Pemex. During the fourth quarter of
2010, we commenced operations in Colombia and the Middle East and revenue for our fluid management
business improved significantly in 2010 due to increased activity in the Bakken Shale market. However, our
contract with Pemex expired in March 2010 resulting in unutilized assets in Mexico. Budget cuts in Mexico
suppressed our work under the remaining Pemex contract through the second and third quarter. In the fourth
quarter, Pemex extended our contract for an additional year as they began to operate under their 2011 budget.

Excluding charges for asset retirements in 2009, operating expenses for our Well Servicing segment were
$903.3 million (92.1% of revenues) during the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented an increase
of $121.8 million, or 15.6%, compared to $781.5 million (90.9% of revenues) in 2009. The increase in
operating expenses is attributable to higher activity levels and related expansion costs in the U.S., as well as
start up costs associated with our foreign expansion, severance costs incurred in Mexico due to a decrease in
work for Pemex and overall inflation. We incurred additional costs in 2010 to integrate our newly acquired
businesses and to expand our presence in the Bakken Shale. Also, we commenced operations in Colombia and
the Middle East during the second half of 2010.

Production Services

Revenues for our Production Services segment increased $77.5 million, or 80.7%, to $173.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $96.0 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in
revenue is attributable to the expansion of our coiled tubing services through organic growth and through
acquisition as well as an increased activity in our fishing and rental operations due to improved economic
conditions.

Excluding charges for asset retirements and impairments in 2009, operating expenses for our Production

Services segment increased $31.1 million, or 28.2%, to $141.3 million (81.5% of revenues) for the year ended
December 31, 2010, compared to $110.2 million (114.9% of revenues) in 2009. Operating expenses increased
due to costs associated with the expansion of our coiled tubing operations; however, expenses as a percentage
of revenue were lower due to improved pricing for services and additional activity.

Functional Support

Operating expenses for Functional Support increased $20.1 million to $125.7 million (10.9% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $105.6 million (11.0% of
consolidated revenues) for 2009. The increase in costs relates primarily to bonuses paid in December 2010
that were not present in 2009, higher equity compensation expense due to new equity awards and implemen-
tation costs for a new ERP system conversion during the second quarter of 2010. Transaction costs incurred in
2010 related to our acquisition of OFS also contributed to the increase.

Revenues for our Well Servicing segment decreased $610.6 million, or 41.5% to $859.7 million for the

year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decline
in revenues was attributable to lower activity levels and negative pricing pressure as a result of the general
downturn in the markets for our services. The demand for our services declined in 2009 as a result of falling
prices for oil and natural gas, the downturn in the U.S. and global economies, and tight credit markets, which
combined to curtail capital spending by our customers. Partially offsetting this decline in activity was the
expansion of our operations in Mexico and incremental rig hours from our Russian joint venture in 2009. For
much of the year ended December 31, 2009, the primary focus of activity for our U.S. rig services business
shifted more towards lower margin repair and maintenance work, and much of this work was performed for
small and mid-sized independent operators. Our traditional customer base of major and large independent
producers decreased their activity levels during the period, which led to lower activity and pricing for our
U.S. rig services business.

Excluding charges for asset retirements, operating expenses for our Well Servicing segment were
$781.5 million (90.9% of revenues) during the year ended December 31, 2009, which represented a decrease
of $332.9 million, or 29.9%, compared to $1.1 billion (75.8% of revenues) for 2008. The decline in operating
expenses during the year ended December 31, 2009 was attributable to lower employee compensation, lower
repairs and maintenance expenses, and lower fuel costs. These costs declined due to our lower activity levels
associated with the lower demand for our services during 2009 compared to 2008. We also implemented cost
control measures beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 in response to the downturn in demand for our
services, but the dramatic and rapid decline in our revenues during 2009 outpaced our ability to cut costs.

Production Services

Revenues for our Production Services segment decreased $58.2 million, or 37.7%, to $96.0 million for

the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $154.1 million for the same period in 2008. The overall
decline in revenue for this segment was primarily attributable to lower asset utilization resulting from the
decline in gas-directed land drilling activity in the continental United States because of the continued
depression of natural gas prices, overall uncertainty about the economy, and tight credit markets. The resulting
pressure on pricing as other service providers attempted to maintain market share also impacted our revenues
in 2009.

33

Excluding charges for asset impairments, operating expenses for our Production Services segment
decreased $20.3 million, or 15.6%, to $110.2 million (114.9% of revenues) for the year ended December 31,
2009, compared to $130.6 million (84.7% of revenues) for 2008. Operating expenses declined due to
reductions in activity, lower fuel prices, decreased expenses for frac sand, and cost control measures we put in
place beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 in response to the downturn in demand for our services. Despite
the decline in operating expenses, the dramatic and rapid decline in our revenues outpaced our ability to cut
operating expenses for this segment during 2009, resulting in operating costs in excess of revenues.

Functional Support

Excluding the impairment charge on our investment in IROC during the fourth quarter of 2008, operating

expenses for Functional Support decreased $51.2 million to $105.6 million (11.0% of consolidated revenues)
for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $156.8 million (9.7% of consolidated revenues) for 2008.
Operating expenses declined as a result of cost cutting measures that we put in place beginning in late 2008
and that continued into 2009 related to reductions in headcount, employee wage rates and benefits reductions,
and controlled spending in overhead costs. Equity-based compensation was also lower during the year ended
December 31, 2009 as a result of our having accelerated the vesting period on the majority of our stock option
and SAR awards during the fourth quarter of 2008. As a result, no expense was recognized on these awards
during 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet
and equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are
cash flows generated from our operations, available cash and availability under our Senior Secured Credit
Facility. We intend to use these sources of liquidity to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures, strategic investments and acquisitions. Additionally, in March 2011, we will be required to make
a tax payment of approximately $67 million related to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

As of December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding amounts borrowed under our Senior Secured Credit
Facility. In 2011, we expect to access available funds under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to meet our
cash requirements for day-to-day operations and in times of peak needs throughout the year. Our planned
capital expenditures, as well as any acquisitions we choose to pursue, could be financed through a combination
of cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and, in the
case of acquisitions, equity. We believe that our internally generated cash flows from operations, current
reserves of cash and availability under our Senior Secured Credit Facility are sufficient to finance our cash
requirements for current and future operations, budgeted capital expenditures and debt service for the next
twelve months. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, committed letters of credit count against
our borrowing capacity. All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by most of our
subsidiaries and are secured by most of our assets, including our accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
See further discussion under “Debt Service” below.

As of December 31, 2010, we had working capital of $136.4 million, excluding the current portion of
capital lease obligations of $4.0 million. Working capital at December 31, 2009 was $204.5 million, excluding
the current portion of long-term debt, notes payable to related parties, and capital lease obligations totaling
$10.2 million. Our working capital at December 31, 2010 decreased from 2009 as a result of increased current
liabilities due to activity increases associated with improving market conditions during 2010 and use of cash
under our capital spending plans, including acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $56.6 million of cash, of which approximately $13.7 million was held
in the bank accounts of our foreign subsidiaries. Of this amount, approximately $2.6 million was held by our
joint ventures, which are subject to a noncontrolling interest and cannot be repatriated. Approximately
$0.6 million of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was held in U.S. bank accounts and denominated in
U.S. dollars. We believe that the cash held by our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries could be repatriated for
general corporate use without material withholdings.

34

As of December 31, 2010, $59.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our revolving credit
facility and we had $240.6 million of availability. On October 1, 2010, we borrowed $80.0 million under the
credit facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of the OFS entities. Using a portion of the proceeds from
the Patterson-UTI transaction, we subsequently repaid the entire balance of $167.8 million on October 4,
2010, bringing our total revolving facility borrowings outstanding to zero.

Cash Flows

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we generated cash flows from operating activities of
$129.8 million, compared to $184.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. These operating cash
inflows primarily relate to net income of $70.3 million, the collection of accounts receivable and receipt of a
$53.2 million federal income tax refund, partially offset by cash paid against accounts payable and other
liabilities due to the increase in activity.

Cash used in investing activities was $8.6 million and $110.6 million for years ended December 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Investing cash outflows decreased from 2009 due to the proceeds from the sale of our
pressure pumping and wireline businesses and the sale of six barge rigs. Offsetting these proceeds were
increased capital expenditures and cash paid for acquisitions.

Cash used in financing activities was $100.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, and
$127.5 million for 2009. Financing cash outflows during 2010 consisted primarily of the net repayment of our
revolving credit facility of $197.8 million, the repayment of capital lease obligations, and the repayment of the
$6.0 million outstanding principal balance of a related party note.

The cash flows from discontinued operations have not been separately identified in our consolidated

statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. We believe that the
reduction in cash flows expected from discontinued operations will not have a material adverse impact on our
liquidity or our ability to fund current or future operations and capital expenditures. We expect that the
anticipated cash flows from the OFS businesses, will offset the reduction in cash flows from discontinued
operations. Additionally, as we used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the discontinued operations
to pay down the outstanding balance on our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we improved our liquidity by
reducing our leverage and required interest payments. As such, we believe that the sale of our pressure
pumping and wireline businesses will not have a significant adverse impact on our near-term liquidity or cash
flows.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Principal Payments
(In thousands)

We have no maturities of debt in 2011. Interest on our Senior Notes is due on June 1 and December 1 of

each year. Our Senior Notes mature in December 2014. Interest paid on the Senior Notes during 2010 was
$35.6 million. Interest on the Senior Notes for 2011 will be $35.6 million. We expect to fund interest
payments from cash on hand and cash generated by operations. In October 2010, we repaid the outstanding
principal balance of $167.8 million under our revolving credit facility with a portion of the proceeds from the
sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses.

8.375% Senior Notes

We have $425.0 million of senior notes outstanding (the “Senior Notes”) that were issued in November 2007
under an indenture (the “Indenture”) with an 8.375% coupon rate. The Senior Notes were registered as public debt
effective August 22, 2008.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company. They rank effectively
subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally
guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The Senior
Notes mature on December 1, 2014.

On or after December 1, 2011, the Senior Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time

to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal
amount redeemed) below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of the years indicated below:

Percentage

104.19%
102.09%
100.00%

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to December 1, 2011, we may, at our option, redeem

all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus the
Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Senior Notes and plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we
must give holders of the Senior Notes the opportunity to sell to us their Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
of purchase.

We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. The

Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:

(cid:129) sell assets;

(cid:129) pay dividends or make other distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness;

36

(cid:129) make investments;

(cid:129) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;

(cid:129) create certain liens;

(cid:129) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries to us;

(cid:129) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

(cid:129) engage in transactions with affiliates; and

(cid:129) create unrestricted subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions
in connection with the covenants of our Senior Secured Credit Facility. Substantially all of the covenants will
terminate before the Senior Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the Senior Notes an
investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of December 31,
2010, the Senior Notes were below investment grade and have never been assigned investment grade. Any
covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored,
even if the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes later falls below an investment grade rating.

On February 14, 2011, we commenced an any and all cash tender offer and consent solicitation with
respect to the Senior Notes. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on
March 14, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated. Our obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for
Senior Notes in the tender offer is conditioned on, among other things, the tender of Senior Notes representing
at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding on or prior to March 14,
2011 and our having received replacement financing on terms acceptable to us. We intend to fund the
repurchase of the Senior Notes, plus all related fees and expenses, from the proceeds of one or more capital
markets debt offerings and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

We maintain a Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate

of banks of which Bank of America Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are the administrative agents.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing
line facility, up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, all of which will mature no later than
November 29, 2012.

We have the ability to request increases in the total commitments under the facility by up to
$100.0 million in the aggregate, with any such increases being subject to certain requirements as well as
lenders’ approval.

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Senior Secured Credit Facility is, at our option, (i) LIBOR

plus a margin of 350 to 450 basis points, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, or, (ii) the base rate
(defined as the higher of (x) Bank of America’s prime rate and (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%), plus a
margin of 250 to 350 basis points, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Unused commitment fees on
the facility range from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, which, among other things,

require us to maintain certain financial ratios and limit our annual capital expenditures. In addition to
covenants that impose restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares, have assets owned by domestic
subsidiaries located outside the United States and other such limitations, the amended Senior Secured Credit
Facility also requires that:

(cid:129) our consolidated funded indebtedness be no greater than 45% of our adjusted total capitalization;

(cid:129) our senior secured leverage ratio of senior secured funded debt to trailing four quarters of earnings

before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Senior

37

Secured Credit Facility, “EBITDA”) be no greater than (i) 2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 2010 and, (ii) thereafter, 2.00 to 1.00;

(cid:129) we maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of trailing four quarters EBITDA to interest expense

of at least the following amounts during each corresponding period:

for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2010. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 to 1.00
thereafter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.00 to 1.00;

(cid:129) we limit our capital expenditures (not including any made by foreign subsidiaries that are not wholly-

owned) to (i) $120.0 million during each year if our consolidated leverage ratio of total funded debt to
trailing four quarters EBITDA is greater than 3.50 to 1.00; or (ii) $250.0 million if our consolidated
leverage ratio of total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is equal to or less than 3.50 to
1.00, subject to certain adjustments;

(cid:129) we only make acquisitions that either (i) are completed for equity consideration, without regard to

leverage, or (ii) are completed for cash consideration, but only (A) if the consolidated leverage ratio of
total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is 2.75 to 1.00 or less, (x) there is an aggregate
amount of $25.0 million in unused credit commitments under the facility and (y) we are in pro forma
compliance with the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement; and (B) if the consolidated
leverage ratio of total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, in
addition to the requirements in subclauses (x) and (y) in clause (A) above, the cash amount paid with
respect to acquisitions is limited to $25.0 million per fiscal year (subject to potential increase using
amounts then available for capital expenditures and any net cash proceeds we receive after October 27,
2009 in connection with the issuance or sale of equity interests or the incurrence or issuance of certain
unsecured debt securities that are identified as being used for such purpose); and

(cid:129) we limit our investment in foreign subsidiaries (including by way of loans made by us and our domestic
subsidiaries to foreign subsidiaries and guarantees made by us and our domestic subsidiaries of debt of
foreign subsidiaries) to $75.0 million during any fiscal year or an aggregate amount after October 27, 2009
equal to (i) the greater of $200.0 million or 25% of our consolidated net worth, plus (ii) any net cash
proceeds we receive after October 27, 2009, in connection with the issuance or sale of equity interests or
the incurrence of certain unsecured debt securities that are identified as being used for such purpose.

In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, including, without
limitation, restrictions related to (i) liens; (ii) debt, guarantees and other contingent obligations; (iii) mergers and
consolidations; (iv) sales, transfers and other dispositions of property or assets; (v) loans, acquisitions, joint ventures
and other investments; (vi) dividends and other distributions to, and redemptions and repurchases from, equity
holders; (vii) prepaying, redeeming or repurchasing the Senior Notes or other unsecured debt incurred pursuant to
the sixth bullet point listed above; (viii) granting negative pledges other than to the lenders; (ix) changes in the
nature of our business; (x) amending organizational documents, or amending or otherwise modifying any debt if
such amendment or modification would have a material adverse effect, or amending the Senior Notes or any other
unsecured debt incurred pursuant to the sixth bullet point listed above if the effect of such amendment is to shorten
the maturity of the Senior Notes or such other unsecured debt; and (xi) changes in accounting policies or reporting
practices; in each of the foregoing cases, with certain exceptions.

We may prepay the Senior Secured Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or

penalty, subject to our obligation to reimburse the lenders for breakage and redeployment costs.

On February 11, 2011, we received a commitment, subject to customary conditions, including syndication
on a best efforts basis, for a new $400.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, up to $250 million of
which may be used for letters of credit. Pursuant to the commitment, the new credit facility would contain an
accordion feature to expand the new facility in an aggregate amount up to $100.0 million. We expect to enter
into the new credit facility on or before March 31, 2011. We expect the interest rate provisions applicable to
loans under the new facility to be more favorable than those contained in our existing Senior Secured Credit
Facility, and that the covenants in the new credit facility will be substantially similar to such existing facility,
except that we expect to be permitted greater flexibility in both domestic and foreign investments.

38

The closing of the new credit facility, and any borrowings thereunder, will be subject to the satisfaction
of a number of customary conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into the new credit
facility on terms acceptable to us in a timely manner or at all.

Related Party Notes Payable

Concurrently with the sale of six barge rigs and related equipment in May 2010, we repaid the remaining

$6.0 million outstanding under a note payable to a related party. This was the second of two notes payable
with related parties (each, a “Related Party Note”) entered into on October 25, 2007. The first Related Party
Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $12.5 million, and was repaid on October 25, 2009. The second
Related Party Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $10.0 million and was payable in annual
installments of $2.0 million.

Capital Lease Agreements

We lease equipment, such as vehicles, tractors, trailers, frac tanks and forklifts, from financial institutions
under master lease agreements. During the third quarter of 2010, we repaid $1.3 million of capital leases that
we had incurred to acquire vehicles pursuant to the terms of the Patterson-UTI sale agreement. As of
December 31, 2010, there was approximately $6.1 million outstanding under such equipment leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2010, we did not, and we currently do not, have any off-balance sheet arrangements

that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Set forth below is a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010. The obligations we

pay in future periods reflect certain assumptions, including variability in interest rates on our variable-rate
obligations and the duration of our obligations, and actual payments in future periods may vary.

Debt Compliance

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Notes contain numerous covenants that govern our ability to
make domestic and international investments and to repurchase our stock. Even if we experience a more severe
downturn in our business, we believe that the covenants related to our capital spending and our investments in our
foreign subsidiaries are within our control. Therefore, we believe we can avoid a default of these covenants.

At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants under the Senior Secured

Credit Facility, and our Senior Notes. Based on management’s current projections, we expect to be in
compliance with all the covenants under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Notes for the next
twelve months. A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or tests could result in a default under our
indebtedness. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Capital Expenditures

During the year ended December 31, 2010, our capital expenditures totaled $180.3 million, primarily

related to the purchase of coiled tubing units, the addition of larger well service rigs, major maintenance of
our existing fleet and equipment, and capitalized costs associated with our new ERP system. Our capital
expenditures program is expected to total approximately $240.0 million during 2011, focusing on growth
markets in the United States and abroad. Our capital expenditure program for 2011 is subject to market
conditions, including activity levels, commodity prices and industry capacity. Our focus for 2011 will be the
maximization of our current equipment fleet, but we may choose to increase our capital expenditures in 2011
to increase market share or expand our presence into a new market. We currently anticipate funding our 2011
capital expenditures through a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, and borrowings under our
Senior Secured Credit Facility. Should our operating cash flows or activity levels prove to be insufficient to
warrant our currently planned capital spending levels, management expects it will adjust our capital spending
plans accordingly. We may also incur capital expenditures for strategic investments and acquisitions.

Acquisitions

OFS

During 2010, we acquired certain subsidiaries, together with associated assets, from OFS, a privately-held

oilfield services company owned by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC. These subsidiaries are oilfield services
companies which provide well workover and stimulation services as well as nitrogen pumping, coiled tubing,
fluid handling and wellsite construction and preparation services.

The total consideration for the acquisition was 15.8 million shares of our common stock and a cash
payment of $75.8 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments at closing. We registered
the shares of common stock issued in the transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to
certain conditions.

Other

In January 2011, we acquired 10 SWD wells from Equity Energy Company for approximately $14.3 million.

Most of these SWD wells are located in North Dakota.

We anticipate that acquisitions of complementary companies, assets and lines of businesses will continue to
play an important role in our business strategy. While there are currently no unannounced agreements or ongoing
negotiations for the acquisition of any material businesses or assets, such transactions can be effected quickly and
may occur at any time.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Accounting Department is responsible for the development and application of our accounting policies

and internal control procedures and reports to the Chief Financial Officer.

40

The process and preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting

principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions,
which may affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingencies at the balance
sheet date, the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period and the presentation
of our statement of cash flows. We may record materially different amounts if these estimates, judgments and
assumptions change or if actual results differ. However, we analyze our estimates, assumptions and judgments
based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

We have identified the following critical accounting policies that require a significant amount of
estimation and judgment to accurately present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows:

(cid:129) Revenue recognition;

(cid:129) Estimate of reserves for workers’ compensation, vehicular liability and other self-insurance;

(cid:129) Contingencies;

(cid:129) Income taxes;

(cid:129) Estimates of depreciable lives;

(cid:129) Valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets;

(cid:129) Valuation of tangible and finite-lived intangible assets; and

(cid:129) Valuation of equity-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) evidence of an arrangement
exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and
determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

(cid:129) Evidence of an arrangement exists when a final understanding between us and our customer has

occurred, and can be evidenced by a completed customer purchase order, field ticket, supplier contract,
or master service agreement.

(cid:129) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered when we have completed requirements pursuant

to the terms of the arrangement as evidenced by a field ticket or service log.

(cid:129) The price to the customer is fixed and determinable when the amount that is required to be paid is

agreed upon. Evidence of the price being fixed and determinable is evidenced by contractual terms, our
price book, a completed customer purchase order, or a completed customer field ticket.

(cid:129) Collectibility is reasonably assured when we screen our customers and provide goods and services to
customers according to determined credit terms that have been granted in accordance with our credit
policy.

We present our revenues net of any sales taxes collected by us from our customers that are required to be

remitted to local or state governmental taxing authorities.

We review our contracts for multiple element revenue arrangements. Deliverables will be separated into
units of accounting and assigned fair value if they have standalone value to our customer, have objective and
reliable evidence of fair value, and delivery of undelivered items is substantially controlled by us. We believe
that the negotiated prices for deliverables in our services contracts are representative of fair value since the
acceptance or non-acceptance of each element in the contract does not affect the other elements.

Our operations expose our employees to hazards generally associated with the oilfield. Heavy lifting,
moving equipment and slippery surfaces can cause or contribute to accidents involving our employees and
third parties who may be present at a site. Environmental conditions in remote domestic oil and natural gas
basins range from extreme cold to extreme heat, from heavy rain to blowing dust. Those conditions can also
lead to or contribute to accidents. Our business activities involve the use of a significant number of fluid
transport trucks, other oilfield vehicles and supporting rolling stock that move on public and private roads.
Vehicle accidents are a significant risk for us. We also conduct limited contract drilling operations, which
present additional hazards inherent in the drilling of wells, such as blowouts, explosions and fires, which could
result in loss of hole, damaged equipment and personal injury. All of these hazards and accidents could result
in damage to our property or a third party’s property or injury or death to our employees or third parties.
Although we purchase insurance to protect against large losses, much of the risk is retained in the form of
large deductibles or self-insured retentions.

As a contractor, we also enter into master service agreements with our customers. These agreements

subject us to potential contractual liabilities common in the oilfield.

The occurrence of an event not fully insured or indemnified against, or the failure of a customer or
insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In addition, there
can be no assurance that insurance will be available to cover any or all of these risks, or that, if available, it
could be obtained without a substantial increase in premiums. It is possible that, in addition to higher
premiums, future insurance coverage may be subject to higher deductibles and coverage restrictions.

Based on the risks discussed above, we estimate our liability arising out of potentially insured events,
including workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, vehicular liability, and general liability, and record
accruals in our consolidated financial statements. Reserves related to claims covered by insurance are based on
the specific facts and circumstances of the insured event and our past experience with similar claims. Loss
estimates for individual claims are adjusted based upon actual claim judgments, settlements and reported
claims. The actual outcome of these claims could differ significantly from estimated amounts.

We are largely self-insured against physical damage to our equipment and automobiles as well as

workers’ compensation claims. Our accruals that we maintain on our consolidated balance sheet relate to these
deductibles and self-insured retentions, which we estimate through the use of historical claims data and trend
analysis. The actual outcome of any claim could differ significantly from estimated amounts. We adjust loss
estimates in the calculation of these accruals, based upon actual claim settlements and reported claims.
Changes in our assumptions and estimates could potentially have a negative impact on our earnings.

Contingencies

We are periodically required to record other loss contingencies, which relate to lawsuits, claims,

proceedings and tax-related audits in the normal course of our operations, on our consolidated balance sheet.
We record a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We periodically review our loss contingencies to ensure that
we have recorded appropriate liabilities on the balance sheet. We adjust these liabilities based on estimates
and judgments made by management with respect to the likely outcome of these matters, including the effect
of any applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters. Our estimates and judgments could change based
on new information, changes in laws or regulations, changes in management’s plans or intentions, the outcome
of legal proceedings, settlements or other factors. Actual results could vary materially from these reserves.

We record liabilities when environmental assessment indicates that site remediation efforts are probable

and the costs can be reasonably estimated. We measure environmental liabilities based, in part, on relevant
past experience, currently enacted laws and regulations, existing technology, site-specific costs and cost-
sharing arrangements. Recognition of any joint and several liability is based upon our best estimate of our
final pro-rata share of such liability or the low amount in a range of estimates. These assumptions involve the

42

judgments and estimates of management, and any changes in assumptions or new information could lead to
increases or decreases in our ultimate liability, with any such changes recognized immediately in earnings.

We record legal obligations to retire tangible, long-lived assets on our balance sheet as liabilities, which

are recorded at a discount when we incur the liability. Significant judgment is involved in estimating our
future cash flows associated with such obligations, as well as the ultimate timing of the cash flows. If our
estimates on the amount or timing of the cash flows change, the change may have a material impact on our
results of operations.

Income Taxes

We account for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method and provide income taxes for

all significant temporary differences. Management determines our current tax liability as well as taxes incurred
as a result of current operations, yet deferred until future periods. Current taxes payable represent our liability
related to our income tax return for the current year, while net deferred tax expense or benefit represents the
change in the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities reported on our consolidated balance sheets.
Management estimates the changes in both deferred tax assets and liabilities using the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for enacted rates that management estimates will be in effect
when the differences reverse. Further, management makes certain assumptions about the timing of temporary
tax differences for the differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes or whether such
differences are permanent. The final determination of our tax liability involves the interpretation of local tax
laws, tax treaties, and related authorities in each jurisdiction as well as the significant use of estimates and
assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income
earned and expenditures incurred.

We establish valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets if we determine that it is more likely than

not (e.g., a likelihood of more than 50%) that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in
future periods. To assess the likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income,
as well as the jurisdiction in which this taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation
allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both
actual and forecasted results, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the
current and forecasted business economics of our industry. Additionally, we record uncertain tax positions at
their net recognizable amount, based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be
sustained upon ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the domestic and international tax jurisdictions in
which we operate.

If our estimates or assumptions regarding our current and deferred tax items are inaccurate or are
modified, these changes could have potentially material negative impacts on our earnings. See “Note 14.
Income Taxes” in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” for further discussion of
accounting for our income taxes, changes in our valuation allowance, components of our tax rate reconciliation
and realization of loss carryforwards.

Estimates of Depreciable Lives

We use the estimated depreciable lives of our long-lived assets, such as rigs, heavy-duty trucks and
trailers, to compute depreciation expense, to estimate future asset retirement obligations and to conduct
impairment tests. We base the estimates of our depreciable lives on a number of factors, such as the
environment in which the assets operate, industry factors including forecasted prices and competition, and the
assumption that we provide the appropriate amount of capital expenditures while the asset is in operation to
maintain economical operation of the asset and prevent untimely demise to scrap. The useful lives of our
intangible assets are determined by the years over which we expect the assets to generate a benefit based on
legal, contractual or other expectations.

We depreciate our operational assets over their depreciable lives to their salvage value, which is 10% of
the acquisition cost. We recognize a gain or loss upon ultimate disposal of the asset based on the difference

43

between the carrying value of the asset on the disposal date and any proceeds we receive in connection with
the disposal.

We periodically analyze our estimates of the depreciable lives of our fixed assets to determine if the

depreciable periods and salvage value continue to be appropriate. We also analyze useful lives and salvage
value when events or conditions occur that could shorten the remaining depreciable life of the asset. We
review the depreciable periods and salvage values for reasonableness, given current conditions. As a result, our
depreciation expense is based upon estimates of depreciable lives of the fixed assets, the salvage value and
economic factors, all of which require management to make significant judgments and estimates. If we
determine that the depreciable lives should be different than originally estimated, depreciation expense may
increase or decrease and impairments in the carrying values of our fixed assets may result, which could
negatively impact our earnings.

Valuation of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We periodically review our intangible assets not subject to amortization, including our goodwill, to
determine whether an impairment of those assets may exist. These tests must be made on at least an annual
basis, or more often if circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. These circumstances include,
but are not limited to, significant adverse changes in the business climate.

The test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets is a two step test. In the first step, a fair value

is calculated for each of our reporting units, and that fair value is compared to the current carrying value of
the reporting unit, including the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its
carrying value, there is no potential impairment, and the second step is not performed. If the carrying value
exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the second step is required.

The second step of the test for impairment compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill

to its current carrying value. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined in the same
manner as the amount of goodwill that would be recognized in a business combination, with the purchase price
being equal to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is in
excess of its carrying value, no impairment charge is recorded. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s
goodwill is in excess of its implied fair value, an impairment charge equal to the excess is recorded.

We conduct our annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortiza-
tion as of December 31 of each year. In determining the fair value of our reporting units, we use a weighted-
average approach of three commonly used valuation techniques — a discounted cash flow method, a guideline
companies method, and a similar transactions method. We assign a weight to the results of each of these
methods based on the facts and circumstances that are in existence for that testing period. We assigned more
weight to the discounted cash flow method.

In addition to the estimates made by management regarding the weighting of the various valuation techniques,

the creation of the techniques themselves requires that we make significant estimates and assumptions. The
discounted cash flow method, which was assigned the highest weight by management during the current year,
requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows, future growth rates, tax rates in future periods, book-tax
differences in the carrying value of our assets in future periods, and discount rates. The assumptions about future
cash flows and growth rates are based on our current budgets for future periods, as well as our strategic plans, the
beliefs of management about future activity levels, and analysts’ expectations about our revenues, profitability and
cash flows in future periods. The assumptions about our future tax rates and book-tax differences in the carrying
value of our assets in future periods are based on the assumptions about our future cash flows and growth rates, and
management’s knowledge of and beliefs about tax law and practice in current and future periods. The assumptions
about discount rates include an assessment of the specific risk associated with each reporting unit being tested, and
were developed with the assistance of a third-party valuation consultant, who reviewed our estimates, assumptions
and calculations. The ultimate conclusions of the valuation techniques remain our responsibility.

While this test is required on an annual basis, it can also be required more frequently based on changes

in external factors or other triggering events, such as an impairment test of our long-lived assets. We

44

conducted our most recent annual test for impairment of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets as of December 31, 2010. On that date, our reporting units for the purposes of impairment testing were
rig services, fluid management services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental services and our Russian and
Canadian reporting units. We have $301.7 million of goodwill in our rig services reporting unit, $21.1 million
of goodwill in our fluid management services reporting unit, $91.3 million in our coiled tubing services
reporting unit, $24.6 million of goodwill in our Russian reporting unit, $4.2 million of goodwill related to our
Canadian reporting unit and $4.7 million of goodwill in our fishing and rental services reporting unit. We also
have intangible assets that are not amortized of $8.7 million related to our Russian reporting unit.

Based on the results of our annual test, the fair value of all our reporting units substantially exceeded
their carrying values. Because the fair value of the reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values,
we determined that no potential for impairment of our goodwill associated with those reporting units existed
as of December 31, 2010, and that step two of the impairment test was not required.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment assessment for our

Russian reporting unit from September 30 to December 31. This constitutes a change in the method of
applying an accounting principle that we believe is preferable. The change was made to align the testing of
our Russian reporting unit with the testing date of the remaining reporting units. This change is preferable as
it also aligns the timing of our annual Russian goodwill impairment test with our planning and budgeting
process, which will allow us to utilize updated forecasts in our discounted cash flow models which are used in
the determination of the fair value of the reporting units. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test
for our Russian reporting unit on September 30, 2010 and no indicators of impairment were noted. We retested
the Russian reporting unit on December 31, 2010 and concluded that the fair value of the Russian reporting
unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. A key assumption in our model is that revenue related to this
reporting unit will increase in future years based on growth and pricing increases. Potential events that could
affect this assumption are the level of development, exploration and production activity of, and corresponding
capital spending by, oil and natural gas companies in the Russian Federation, oil and natural gas production
costs, government regulations and conditions in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. Other possible
events that could affect this assumption are the ability to acquire additional assets and deployment of these
assets into the region. As this test concluded that the fair value of the Russian reporting unit exceeded its
carrying value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required.

As noted above, the determination of the fair value of our reporting units is heavily dependent upon

certain estimates and assumptions that we make about our reporting units. While the estimates and
assumptions that we made regarding our reporting units for our 2010 annual test indicated that the fair values
of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values and we believe that our estimates and assumptions are
reasonable, it is possible that changes in those estimates and assumptions could impact the determination of
the fair value of our reporting units. Discount rates we use in future periods could change substantially if the
cost of debt or equity were to significantly increase or decrease, or if we chose different comparable
companies in determining the appropriate discount rate for our reporting units. Additionally, our future
projected cash flows for our reporting units could significantly impact the fair value of our reporting units, and
if our current projections about our future activity levels, pricing, and cost structure are inaccurate, the fair
value of our reporting units could change materially. If the current recovery in the overall economy is
temporary in nature or if there is a significant and rapid adverse change in our business in the near- or mid-
term for any of our reporting units, our current estimates of the fair value of our reporting units could decrease
significantly, leading to possible impairment charges in future periods. Based on our current knowledge and
beliefs, we do not feel that material adverse changes to our current estimates and assumptions such that our
reporting units would fail step one of the impairment test are reasonably possible.

Valuation of Tangible and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Our fixed assets and finite-lived intangibles are tested for potential impairment when circumstances or

events indicate a possible impairment may exist. These circumstances or events are referred to as “trigger
events” and examples of such trigger events include, but are not limited to, an adverse change in market

45

conditions, a significant decrease in benefits being derived from an acquired business, or a significant disposal
of a particular asset or asset class.

If a trigger event occurs, an impairment test is performed based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis.

To perform an impairment test, we make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding long-term forecasts
or revenues and expenses relating to the assets subject to review. Market conditions, energy prices, estimated
depreciable lives of the assets, discount rate assumptions and legal factors impact our operations and have a
significant effect on the estimates we use to determine whether our assets are impaired. If the results of the
analysis indicate that the carrying value of the assets being tested for impairment are not recoverable, then we
record an impairment charge to write the carrying value of the assets down to their fair value. Using different
judgments, assumptions or estimates, we could potentially arrive at a materially different fair value for the
assets being tested for impairment, which may result in an impairment charge. We did not identify any trigger
events causing us to test our tangible and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment during 2010.

Valuation of Equity-Based Compensation

We have granted stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock
(“RSAs”), phantom shares and performance units to our employees and non-employee directors. The option
and SAR awards we grant are fair valued using a Black-Scholes option model on the grant date and are
amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the option award, net of estimated and actual
forfeitures. Compensation related to RSAs is based on the fair value of the award on the grant date and is
recognized based on the vesting requirements that have been satisfied during the period. Phantom shares are
accounted for at fair value, and changes in the fair value of these awards are recorded as compensation
expense during the period. Performance units provide a cash incentive award, the unit value of which is
determined with reference to our common stock. The performance units are measured based on two
performance periods. At the end of each performance period, 100%, 50%, or 0% of an individual’s
performance units for that period will vest, based on the relative placement of our total shareholder return
within a peer group consisting of Key and five other companies. See “Note 20. Share-Based Compensation”
in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further discussion of the various award types
and our accounting for our equity-based compensation.

In utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair values of awards, certain

assumptions are made which are based on subjective expectations, and are subject to change. A change in one
or more of these assumptions would impact the expense associated with future grants. These key assumptions
include the volatility in the price of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate and the expected life of
awards.

We did not grant any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010. We used the following
weighted average assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of our
stock option grants during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

We calculate the expected volatility for our stock option grants by measuring the volatility of our
historical stock price for a period equal to the expected life of the option and ending at the time the option
was granted. We determine the risk-free interest rate based upon the interest rate on a U.S. Treasury Bill with
a term equal to the expected life of the option at the time the option was granted. In estimating the expected
lives of our stock options and SARs, we have elected to use the simplified method. During the time that we
did not have current financial statements filed with the SEC, our options were legally restricted from being
exercised; therefore we believe that we do not have access to sufficient historical exercise data to appropriately

46

provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of stock option awards. The expected life
is less than the term of the option as option holders, in our experience, exercise or forfeit the options during
the term of the option.

We are not required to recalculate the fair value of our stock option grants estimated using the Black-

Scholes option pricing model after the initial calculation unless the original option grant terms are modified.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in this Report

ASU 2009-16.

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Account-

ing Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets. ASU 2009-16 revises the provisions of former FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and requires more disclosure
regarding transfers of financial assets. ASU 2009-16 also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special
purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and increases disclosure require-
ments about transfers of financial assets and a reporting entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial
assets. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-16 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did
not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2009-17.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) —

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2009-17
replaces the quantitative-based risk and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has
a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which
reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact
the entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (ii) the right to
receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective
for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. ASU
2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities.
The provisions of ASU 2009-17 are to be applied beginning in the first fiscal period beginning after
November 15, 2009. We adopted ASU 2009-17 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-02.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) — Account-

ing and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary — A Scope Clarification. ASU 2010-02
clarifies that the scope of previous guidance in the accounting and disclosure requirements related to decreases
in ownership of a subsidiary apply to (i) a subsidiary or a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit entity;
(ii) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit entity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint
venture; and (iii) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a
noncontrolling interest in an entity. ASU 2010-02 also expands the disclosure requirements about deconsolida-
tion of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets to include (i) the valuation techniques used to
measure the fair value of any retained investment; (ii) the nature of any continuing involvement with the
subsidiary or entity acquiring a group of assets; and (iii) whether the transaction that resulted in the
deconsolidation or derecognition was with a related party or whether the former subsidiary or entity acquiring
the assets will become a related party after the transaction. The provisions of ASU 2010-02 are effective for
the first reporting period beginning after December 13, 2009. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-02 on
January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-06.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and

Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 clarifies
the requirements for certain disclosures around fair value measurements and also requires registrants to provide
certain additional disclosures about those measurements. The new disclosure requirements include (i) the
significant amounts of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the
period, along with the reason for those transfers, and (ii) and separate presentation of information about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of fair value measurements with significant unobservable inputs.

47

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We
adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-09.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):

Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update provides amendments to
Subtopic 855-10 as follows: (i) an entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for
conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an
over-the-counter-market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through
the date that the financial statements are issued; (ii) the glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the
definition of SEC filer. An SEC filer is an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with
either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the appropriate agency under that Section; (iii) an entity that is an SEC filer is not required to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated; (iv) the glossary of Topic 855 is
amended to remove the definition of public entity. The definition of a public entity in Topic 855 was used to
determine the date through which subsequent events should be evaluated; and (v) the scope of the reissuance
disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. The term revised financial
statements is added to the glossary of Topic 855. Revised financial statements include financial statements
revised either as a result of correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 on March 1, 2010 and the adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report

ASU 2009-13.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) —

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU
2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements where products or
services are accounted for separately rather than as a combined unit, and addresses how to separate
deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting.
Existing GAAP requires an entity to use Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party
evidence of a selling price to separate deliverables in a multiple-deliverable selling arrangement. As a result of
ASU 2009-13, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under current
guidance. ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable.
The selling price will be based on VSOE if it is available, on third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or
on an estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 also requires
that an entity determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to
determine the selling price of the deliverable on a stand-alone basis, and increases the disclosure requirements
related to an entity’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 must be prospectively applied
to all revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may elect, but are not required, to adopt the amendments
retrospectively for all periods presented. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011 and
do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2009-14.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) — Certain

Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task
Force (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 was issued to address concerns relating to the accounting for revenue
arrangements that contain tangible products and software that is “more than incidental” to the product as a
whole. Existing guidance in such circumstances requires entities to use VSOE of a selling price to separate
deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement. Reporting entities raised concerns that the current account-
ing model does not appropriately reflect the economics of the underlying transactions and that more software-
enabled products now fall or will fall within the scope of the current guidance than originally intended. ASU
2009-14 changes the current accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products
and software elements to exclude those where the software components are essential to the tangible products’

48

core functionality. In addition, ASU 2009-14 also requires that hardware components of a tangible product
containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance, and
provides guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to tangible products is considered
essential to the tangible products’ functionality and should be excluded from the scope of software revenue
recognition guidance. ASU 2009-14 also provides guidance on how to allocate arrangement consideration to
deliverables in an arrangement that contains tangible products and software that is not essential to the
product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 was issued concurrently with ASU 2009-13 and also requires entities to
provide the disclosures required by ASU 2009-13 that are included within the scope of ASU 2009-14. ASU
2009-14 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may also elect, but are not
required, to adopt ASU 2009-14 retrospectively to prior periods, and must adopt ASU 2009-14 in the same
period and using the same transition methods that it uses to adopt ASU 2009-13. We adopted the provisions of
ASU 2009-14 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-13.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation — Stock Compensation

(Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of
the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF
Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency
of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify
that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market
in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such
an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update
should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the
fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently
since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. We adopted
the provisions of ASU 2010-13 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this standard will
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-28.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and

Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or
Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-A. The amendments
in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying
amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it
is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not
that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors
indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and
examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit
below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. We
adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-29.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805):

Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the
decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by
Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or
aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial
statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business
combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior

49

annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include
a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to
the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective
prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the
provisions of ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011 and the adoption of this standard may result in additional
disclosures, but it will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including risks from

changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices that could impact our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these risks through regular
operating and financing activities, and may, on a limited basis, use derivative financial instruments to manage
this risk. To the extent that we use such derivative financial instruments, we will use them only as risk
management tools and not for speculative investment purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding $425.0 million of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2014. These

notes are fixed-rate obligations, and as such do not subject us to risks associated with changes in interest rates.
Borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and our capital lease obligations bear interest at variable
interest rates, and therefore expose us to interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2010, the weighted average
interest rate on our outstanding variable-rate debt obligations was 1.78%. A hypothetical 10% increase in that
rate would increase the annual interest expense on those instruments by less than $0.1 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

As of December 31, 2010, we conduct operations in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and
Argentina. We also have a Canadian subsidiary and have equity-method investments in Canadian companies.
The functional currency is the local currency for all of these entities, except Colombia and the Middle East,
and as such we are exposed to the risk of changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the local
currencies. For balances denominated in our foreign subsidiaries’ local currency, changes in the value of the
subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities due to changes in exchange rates are deferred and accumulated in other
comprehensive income until we liquidate our investment. For balances denominated in currencies other than
the local currency, our foreign subsidiaries must remeasure the balance at the end of each period to an
equivalent amount of local currency, with changes reflected in earnings during the period. A hypothetical 10%
decrease in the average value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the value of the local currencies for our
Argentinean, Mexican, Russian and Canadian subsidiaries and our Canadian investments would decrease our
net income by approximately $3.8 million.

Equity Risk

Certain of our equity-based compensation awards’ fair values are determined based upon the price of our

common stock on the measurement date. Any increase in the price of our common stock would lead to a
corresponding increase in the fair value of those awards. A 10% increase in the price of our common stock
from its value at December 31, 2010 would increase annual compensation expense recognized on these awards
by approximately $0.1 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Key Energy Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Key Energy Services, Inc. (a Maryland

corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and
2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated
February 25, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Key Energy Services, Inc.

We have audited Key Energy Services, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and Subsidiaries’ internal control

over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”). Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries’
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing
the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that,
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective

internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries and our report dated
February 25, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Key Energy Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively,

“Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) provide a full range of well services to major oil companies,
foreign national oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include
rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion
services, fluid management services, and fishing and rental services and other ancillary oilfield services.
Additionally, certain of our rigs are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil
and natural gas producing regions of the continental United States, and have operations based in Mexico,
Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and Argentina. In addition, we have a technology development group based
in Canada and have ownership interests in two oilfield service companies based in Canada.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to develop estimates and to make
assumptions that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These estimates also impact
the nature and extent of our disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities. Among other things, we use
estimates to (i) analyze assets for possible impairment, (ii) determine depreciable lives for our assets,
(iii) assess future tax exposure and realization of deferred tax assets, (iv) determine amounts to accrue for
contingencies, (v) value tangible and intangible assets, (vi) assess workers’ compensation, vehicular liability,
self-insured risk accruals and other insurance reserves, (vii) provide allowances for our uncollectible accounts
receivable, (viii) value our asset retirement obligations, and (ix) value our equity-based compensation. We
review all significant estimates on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to
publication of our financial statements. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates relate to
improved information not previously available. Because of the limitations inherent in this process, our actual
results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that our estimates are reasonable.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period financial
statement presentation. As a result of the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses in 2010, we
now show the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Prior to the sale, the businesses sold to Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (“Patterson-UTI”) were reported as part of
our Production Services segment and were based entirely in the U.S. These presentation changes did not
impact our consolidated net income, earnings per share, total current assets, total assets or total stockholders’
equity.

We have evaluated events occurring after the balance sheet date included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K for possible disclosure as a subsequent event. Management monitored for subsequent events
through the date that these financial statements were issued. Subsequent events that were identified by
management that required disclosure are described in “Note 26. Subsequent Events” of these financial
statements.

Principles of Consolidation

Within our consolidated financial statements, we include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-

owned or controlled subsidiaries. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions. When we have an
interest in an entity for which we do not have significant control or influence, we account for that interest
using the cost method. When we have an interest in an entity and can exert significant influence but not
control, we account for that interest using the equity method.

59

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

We apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest

Entities (revised December 2003) — an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“ASC 810-10”) when determining
whether or not to consolidate a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). ASC 810-10 requires that an equity investor
in a VIE have significant equity at risk (generally a minimum of 10%) and hold a controlling interest,
evidenced by voting rights, and absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the
entity’s expected returns, or both. If the equity investor is unable to evidence these characteristics, the entity
that retains these ownership characteristics will be required to consolidate the VIE.

Acquisitions

From time to time, we acquire businesses or assets that are consistent with our long-term growth strategy.

Results of operations for acquisitions are included in our financial statements beginning on the date of
acquisition and are accounted for using the acquisition method. For all business combinations (whether partial,
full or in stages), the acquirer records 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including
goodwill, at their fair values; including contingent consideration. Final valuations of assets and liabilities are
obtained and recorded as soon as practicable and within one year after the date of the acquisition.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) evidence of an arrangement
exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and
determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

(cid:129) Evidence of an arrangement exists when a final understanding between us and our customer has

occurred, and can be evidenced by a completed customer purchase order, field ticket, supplier contract,
or master service agreement.

(cid:129) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered when we have completed requirements pursuant

to the terms of the arrangement as evidenced by a field ticket or service log.

(cid:129) The price to the customer is fixed and determinable when the amount that is required to be paid is

agreed upon. Evidence of the price being fixed and determinable is evidenced by contractual terms, our
price book, a completed customer purchase order, or a completed customer field ticket.

(cid:129) Collectibility is reasonably assured when we screen our customers and provide goods and services to
customers according to determined credit terms that have been granted in accordance with our credit
policy.

We present our revenues net of any sales taxes collected by us from our customers that are required to be

remitted to local or state governmental taxing authorities.

We review our contracts for multiple element revenue arrangements. Deliverables will be separated into
units of accounting and assigned fair value if they have standalone value to our customer, have objective and
reliable evidence of fair value, and delivery of undelivered items is substantially controlled by us. We believe
that the negotiated prices for deliverables in our services contracts are representative of fair value since the
acceptance or non-acceptance of each element in the contract does not affect the other elements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider short-term investments with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 2010, we have not entered into any compensating balance arrangements, but all
of our obligations under our senior credit agreement with a syndicate of banks of which Bank of America
Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are the administrative agents (the “Senior Secured Credit
Facility”) were secured by most of our assets, including assets held by our subsidiaries, which includes our

60

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

cash and cash equivalents. We restrict investment of cash to financial institutions with high credit standing and
limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

We maintain our cash in bank deposit and brokerage accounts which exceed federally insured limits. As
of December 31, 2010, accounts were guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up
to $250,000 and substantially all of our accounts held deposits in excess of the FDIC limits.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our Russian and Middle East subsidiaries are subject to a

noncontrolling interest and cannot be repatriated; absent these amounts, we believe that the cash held by our
foreign subsidiaries could be repatriated for general corporate use without material withholdings. From time to
time and in the normal course of business in connection with our operations or ongoing legal matters, we are
required to place certain amounts of our cash in deposit accounts with restrictions that limit our ability to
withdraw those funds.

Certain of our cash accounts are zero-balance controlled disbursement accounts that do not have right of

offset against our other cash balances. We present the outstanding checks written against these zero-balance
accounts as a component of accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable if we determine that there is a possibility that
we will not collect all or part of the outstanding balances. We regularly review accounts over 150 days past
due from the invoice date for collectibility and establish or adjust our allowance as necessary using the
specific identification method. If we exhaust all collection efforts and determine that the balance will never be
collected, we write off the accounts receivable and the associated provision for uncollectible accounts.

From time to time we are entitled to proceeds under our insurance policies for amounts that we have
reserved in our self insurance liability. We present these insurance receivables gross on our balance sheet as a
component of accounts receivable, separate from the corresponding liability.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Our customers include major oil and natural gas production companies, independent oil and natural gas
production companies, and foreign national oil and natural gas production companies. We perform ongoing
credit evaluations of our customers and usually do not require material collateral. We maintain reserves for
potential credit losses when necessary. Our results of operations and financial position should be considered in
light of the fluctuations in demand experienced by oilfield service companies as changes in oil and gas
producers’ expenditures and budgets occur. These fluctuations can impact our results of operations and
financial position as supply and demand factors directly affect utilization and hours which are the primary
determinants of our net cash provided by operating activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our
consolidated revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2009, revenues from one of the customers of our
Well Servicing segment were approximately 11% of our consolidated revenues. No other single customer
accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. No single
customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the year ended December 31,
2008. Receivables outstanding from one of the customers of our Well Servicing segment were approximately
25% of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009. No single customer accounted for more than
10% of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2008.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of equipment parts for use in our well servicing operations and

supplies held for consumption, are valued at the lower of average cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for

our assets over the estimated depreciable lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Depreciation
expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $125.8 million, $135.3 million and
$132.0 million, respectively. We depreciate our operational assets over their depreciable lives to their salvage
value, which is a fair value higher than the assets’ value as scrap. Salvage value approximates 10% of an
operational asset’s acquisition cost. When an operational asset is stacked or taken out of service, we review its
physical condition, depreciable life and ultimate salvage value to determine if the asset is no longer operable
and whether the remaining depreciable life and salvage value should be adjusted. When we scrap an asset, we
accelerate the depreciation of the asset down to its salvage value. When we dispose of an asset, gain or loss is
recognized.

As of December 31, 2010, the estimated useful lives of our asset classes are as follows:

We lease certain of our operating assets under capital lease obligations whose terms run from 55 to
60 months. These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the term of the capital lease
obligation, whichever is shorter.

A long-lived asset or asset group should be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in

circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of testing for
impairment, we group our long-lived assets along our lines of business based on the services provided, which
is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets
and liabilities. We would record an impairment charge, reducing the net carrying value to an estimated fair
value, if the asset group’s estimated future cash flows were less than its net carrying value. Events or changes
in circumstance that cause us to evaluate our fixed assets for recoverability and possible impairment may
include changes in market conditions, such as adverse movements in the prices of oil and natural gas, or
changes of an asset group, such as its expected future life, intended use or physical condition, which could
reduce the fair value of certain of our property and equipment. The development of future cash flows and the
determination of fair value for an asset group involves significant judgment and estimates. As discussed in
“Note 7. Property and Equipment,” during the third quarter of 2009 we identified a triggering event that
required us to test our long-lived assets for potential impairment. As a result of those tests, we determined that
the equipment for our pressure pumping operations was impaired. We did not identify any triggering events or
record any asset impairments during 2010.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We recognize a liability for the fair value of all legal obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and capitalize an equal amount as a cost of the asset. We depreciate the additional
cost over the estimated useful life of the assets. Our obligations to perform our asset retirement activities are
unconditional, despite the uncertainties that may exist surrounding an individual retirement activity. Accord-
ingly, we recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value
can be reasonably estimated. In determining the fair value, we examine the inputs that we believe a market
participant would use if we were to transfer the liability. We probability-weight the potential costs a third-
party would charge, adjust the cost for inflation for the estimated life of the asset, and discount this cost using
our credit adjusted risk free rate. Significant judgment is involved in estimating future cash flows associated
with such obligations, as well as the ultimate timing of those cash flows. If our estimates of the amount or
timing of the cash flows change, such changes may have a material impact on our results of operations. See
“Note 10. Asset Retirement Obligations.”

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized on the average amount of accumulated expenditures for major capital projects under

construction using an effective interest rate based on related debt until the underlying assets are placed into
service. The capitalized interest is added to the cost of the assets and amortized to depreciation expense over
the useful life of the assets, and is included in the depreciation and amortization line in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs associated with long-term debt are carried at cost and are amortized to interest
expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt instrument. When the related debt
instrument is retired, any remaining unamortized costs are included in the determination of the gain or loss on
the extinguishment of the debt. We record gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt as a part of
continuing operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill results from business combinations and represents the excess of the acquisition consideration

over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization
are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
asset might be impaired.

The test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles is a two step test. In the first step of the test, a fair
value is calculated for each of our reporting units, and that fair value is compared to the carrying value of the
reporting unit, including the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its
carrying value, there is no impairment, and the second step of the test is not performed. If the carrying value
exceeds the fair value for the reporting unit, then the second step of the test is required.

The second step of the test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying
value. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount
of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the purchase price being equal to the fair value of the
reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is in excess of its carrying value, no
impairment is recorded. If the carrying value is in excess of the implied fair value, an impairment equal to the
excess is recorded.

To assist management in the preparation and analysis of the valuation of our reporting units, we utilize
the services of a third-party valuation consultant, who reviews our estimates, assumptions and calculations.

63

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The ultimate conclusions of the valuation techniques remain our sole responsibility. The determination of the
fair value used in the test is heavily impacted by the market prices of our equity and debt securities, as well as
the assumptions and estimates about our future activity levels, profitability and cash flows. We conduct our
annual impairment test on December 31 of each year. For the annual test completed as of December 31, 2010,
no impairment of our goodwill was indicated. See “Note 8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further
discussion.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment assessment for our

Russian reporting unit from September 30 to December 31. This constitutes a change in the method of
applying an accounting principle that we believe is preferable. The change was made to align the testing of
our Russian reporting unit with the testing date of our other reporting units. This change is preferable as it
also aligns the timing of our annual Russian goodwill impairment test with our planning and budgeting
process, which will allow us to utilize updated forecasts in our discounted cash flow models which are used in
the determination of the fair value of the reporting units. Also, the November and December months are the
contract tendering periods in Russia providing current information on anticipated activity. This change in
accounting principle has no effect on our current or prior period financial statements. We performed our
annual goodwill impairment test for our Russian reporting unit on September 30, 2010 and no indicators of
impairment were noted. We retested the Russian reporting unit on December 31, 2010 and no impairment of
our goodwill was indicated.

Internal-Use Software

We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and
amortize these costs over the software’s estimated useful life, generally five years. Costs incurred related to
selection or maintenance of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.

Litigation

When estimating our liabilities related to litigation, we take into account all available facts and

circumstances in order to determine whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. Due in part to

the locations where we conduct business in the continental United States, we are subject to jury verdicts or
other outcomes that may be favorable to plaintiffs. We are also exposed to litigation in foreign locations where
we operate. We continually assess our contingent liabilities, including potential litigation liabilities, as well as
the adequacy of our accruals and our need for the disclosure of these items. We establish a provision for a
contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is able to be
estimated. See “Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Environmental

Our operations routinely involve the storage, handling, transport and disposal of bulk waste materials,
some of which contain oil, contaminants, and regulated substances. These operations are subject to various
federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment. Environmental expenditures
are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing
condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. We record
liabilities on an undiscounted basis when our remediation efforts are probable and the costs to conduct such
remediation efforts can be reasonably estimated. While our litigation reserves reflect the application of our
insurance coverage, our environmental reserves do not reflect management’s assessment of the insurance
coverage that may apply to the matters at issue. See “Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies.”

64

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Self Insurance

We are largely self-insured against physical damage to our equipment and automobiles as well as

workers’ compensation claims. The accruals that we maintain on our consolidated balance sheet relate to these
deductibles and self-insured retentions, which we estimate through the use of historical claims data and trend
analysis. To assist management with the liability amount for our self insurance reserves, we utilize the services
of a third party actuary. The actual outcome of any claim could differ significantly from estimated amounts.
We adjust loss estimates in the calculation of these accruals, based upon actual claim settlements and reported
claims. See “Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Income Taxes

We account for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method and provide income taxes for

all significant temporary differences. Management determines our current tax liability as well as taxes incurred
as a result of current operations, but which are deferred until future periods. Current taxes payable represent
our liability related to our income tax returns for the current year, while net deferred tax expense or benefit
represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities reported on our consolidated balance
sheets. Management estimates the changes in both deferred tax assets and liabilities using the basis of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for enacted rates that management estimates will be in
effect when the differences reverse. Further, management makes certain assumptions about the timing of
temporary tax differences for the differing treatments of certain items for tax and accounting purposes or
whether such differences are permanent. The final determination of our tax liability involves the interpretation
of local tax laws, tax treaties, and related authorities in each jurisdiction as well as the significant use of
estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and
nature of income earned and expenditures incurred.

We establish valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets if we determine that it is more likely than
not (e.g., a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized
in future periods. To assess the likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income,
as well as the jurisdiction in which this taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation
allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both
actual and forecasted results, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the
current and forecasted business economics of our industry. Additionally, we record uncertain tax positions at
their net recognizable amount, based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be
sustained upon ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the domestic and international tax jurisdictions in
which we operate.

See “Note 14. Income Taxes” for further discussion of accounting for income taxes, changes in our

valuation allowance, components of our tax rate reconciliation and realization of loss carryforwards.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by
the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
common share is based on the increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of
dilutive outstanding convertible securities using the treasury stock and “as if converted” methods. See “Note 9.
Earnings Per Share.”

Share-Based Compensation

In the past, we have issued stock options, shares of restricted common stock, stock appreciation rights
(“SARs”), phantom shares and performance units to our employees as part of those employees’ compensation

65

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and as a retention tool. For our options, restricted shares and SARs, we calculate the fair value of the awards
on the grant date and amortize that fair value to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the
award, net of estimated and actual forfeitures. The fair value of our stock option and SAR awards are
estimated using a Black-Scholes fair value model. The valuation of our stock options and SARs requires us to
estimate the expected term of award, which we estimate using the simplified method, as we do not currently
have sufficient historical exercise information because of past legal restrictions on the exercise of our stock
options. Additionally, the valuation of our stock option and SAR awards is also dependent on our historical
stock price volatility, which we calculate using a lookback period equivalent to the expected term of the
award, a risk-free interest rate, and an estimate of future forfeitures. The grant-date fair value of our restricted
stock awards is determined using our stock price on the grant date. Our phantom shares and performance units
are treated as “liability” awards and carried at fair value on each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value
recorded as a component of compensation expense and an offsetting liability on our consolidated balance
sheet. We record share-based compensation as a component of general and administrative expense. See
“Note 20. Share-Based Compensation.”

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

For our international locations in Argentina, Mexico, the Russian Federation and Canada, where the local
currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance
sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The
resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency to the U.S. Dollar
are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income until a partial or
complete sale or liquidation of our net investment in the foreign entity.

From time to time our foreign subsidiaries may enter into transactions that are denominated in currencies
other than their functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency of that
subsidiary based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. At the end of each
month, these transactions are remeasured to an equivalent amount of the functional currency based on the
applicable exchange rates in effect at that time. Any adjustment required to remeasure a transaction to the
equivalent amount of the functional currency at the end of the month is recorded in the income or loss of the
foreign subsidiary as a component of other income and expense. See “Note 17. Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss.”

Comprehensive Income

We display comprehensive income and its components in our financial statements, and we classify items
of comprehensive income by their nature in our financial statements and display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately in our stockholders’ equity.

Leases

We lease real property and equipment through various leasing arrangements. When we enter into a
leasing arrangement, we analyze the terms of the arrangement to determine whether the lease should be
accounted for as an operating lease or a capital lease.

We periodically incur costs to improve the assets that we lease under these arrangements. If the value of

the leasehold improvements exceeds our threshold for capitalization, we record the improvement as a
component of our property and equipment and amortize the improvement over the useful life of the
improvement or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

Certain of our operating lease agreements are structured to include scheduled and specified rent increases

over the term of the lease agreement. These increases may be the result of an inducement or “rent holiday”

66

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

conveyed to us early in the lease, or are included to reflect the anticipated effects of inflation. We recognize
scheduled and specified rent increases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. In
addition, certain of our operating lease agreements contain incentives to induce us to enter into the lease
agreement, such as up-front cash payments to us, payment by the lessor of our costs, such as moving expenses,
or the assumption by the lessor of our pre-existing lease agreements with third parties. Any payments made to
us or on our behalf represent incentives that we consider to be a reduction of our rent expense, and are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in this Report

ASU 2009-16.

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Account-

ing Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets. ASU 2009-16 revises the provisions of former FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and requires more disclosure
regarding transfers of financial assets. ASU 2009-16 also eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special
purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and increases disclosure require-
ments about transfers of financial assets and a reporting entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial
assets. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-16 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did
not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2009-17.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) —

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2009-17
replaces the quantitative-based risk and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has
a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which
reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact
the entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (ii) the right to
receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective
for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. ASU
2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities.
The provisions of ASU 2009-17 are to be applied beginning in the first fiscal period beginning after
November 15, 2009. We adopted ASU 2009-17 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-02.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) — Account-

ing and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary — A Scope Clarification. ASU 2010-02 clarifies
that the scope of previous guidance in the accounting and disclosure requirements related to decreases in
ownership of a subsidiary apply to (i) a subsidiary or a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit entity;
(ii) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit entity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint
venture; and (iii) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a
noncontrolling interest in an entity. ASU 2010-02 also expands the disclosure requirements about deconsolida-
tion of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets to include (i) the valuation techniques used to
measure the fair value of any retained investment; (ii) the nature of any continuing involvement with the
subsidiary or entity acquiring a group of assets; and (iii) whether the transaction that resulted in the
deconsolidation or derecognition was with a related party or whether the former subsidiary or entity acquiring
the assets will become a related party after the transaction. The provisions of ASU 2010-02 are effective for
the first reporting period beginning after December 13, 2009. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-02 on
January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-06.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and

Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 clarifies the

67

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

requirements for certain disclosures around fair value measurements and also requires registrants to provide
certain additional disclosures about those measurements. The new disclosure requirements include (i) the
significant amounts of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the
period, along with the reason for those transfers, and (ii) and separate presentation of information about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of fair value measurements with significant unobservable inputs.
ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We
adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-09.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update provides amendments to
Subtopic 855-10 as follows: (i) an entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for
conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an
over-the-counter-market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through
the date that the financial statements are issued; (ii) the glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the
definition of SEC filer. An SEC filer is an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with
either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the appropriate agency under that Section; (iii) an entity that is an SEC filer is not required to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated; (iv) the glossary of Topic 855 is
amended to remove the definition of public entity. The definition of a public entity in Topic 855 was used to
determine the date through which subsequent events should be evaluated; and (v) the scope of the reissuance
disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. The term revised financial
statements is added to the glossary of Topic 855. Revised financial statements include financial statements
revised either as a result of correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 on March 1, 2010 and the adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report

ASU 2009-13.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) —

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU
2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements where products or
services are accounted for separately rather than as a combined unit, and addresses how to separate
deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting.
Existing GAAP requires an entity to use Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party
evidence of a selling price to separate deliverables in a multiple-deliverable selling arrangement. As a result of
ASU 2009-13, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under current
guidance. ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable.
The selling price will be based on VSOE if it is available, on third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or
on an estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 also requires
that an entity determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to
determine the selling price of the deliverable on a stand-alone basis, and increases the disclosure requirements
related to an entity’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 must be prospectively applied
to all revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may elect, but are not required, to adopt the amendments
retrospectively for all periods presented. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011 and
do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2009-14.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) — Certain

Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task

68

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Force (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 was issued to address concerns relating to the accounting for revenue
arrangements that contain tangible products and software that is “more than incidental” to the product as a
whole. Existing guidance in such circumstances requires entities to use VSOE of a selling price to separate
deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement. Reporting entities raised concerns that the current account-
ing model does not appropriately reflect the economics of the underlying transactions and that more software-
enabled products now fall or will fall within the scope of the current guidance than originally intended. ASU
2009-14 changes the current accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products
and software elements to exclude those where the software components are essential to the tangible products’
core functionality. In addition, ASU 2009-14 also requires that hardware components of a tangible product
containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance, and
provides guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to tangible products is considered
essential to the tangible products’ functionality and should be excluded from the scope of software revenue
recognition guidance. ASU 2009-14 also provides guidance on how to allocate arrangement consideration to
deliverables in an arrangement that contains tangible products and software that is not essential to the
product’s functionality. ASU 2009-14 was issued concurrently with ASU 2009-13 and also requires entities to
provide the disclosures required by ASU 2009-13 that are included within the scope of ASU 2009-14. ASU
2009-14 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may also elect, but are not
required, to adopt ASU 2009-14 retrospectively to prior periods, and must adopt ASU 2009-14 in the same
period and using the same transition methods that it uses to adopt ASU 2009-13. We adopted the provisions of
ASU 2009-14 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-13.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation — Stock Compensation

(Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of
the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF
Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency
of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify
that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market
in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a
condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such
an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update
should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the
fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently
since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. We adopted
the provisions of ASU 2010-13 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this standard will
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-28.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and

Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or
Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-A. The amendments
in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying
amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it
is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not
that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors
indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and
examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit

69

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. We
adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011 and do not believe that the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2010-29.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805):

Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the
decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by
Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or
aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial
statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business
combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior
annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include
a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to
the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective
prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the
provisions of ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011 and the adoption of this standard may result in additional
disclosures, but it will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

2010 Acquisitions

OFS Energy Services, LLC (“OFS”).

In October 2010, we acquired certain subsidiaries, together with

associated assets, owned by OFS, a privately-held oilfield services company of ArcLight Capital Partners,
LLC. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The results of operations for the acquired
businesses have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The total consideration for the acquisition was 15.8 million shares of our common stock and a cash
payment of $75.8 million, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments at closing. We registered
the shares of common stock issued in the transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to
certain conditions. OFS’ subsidiaries are oilfield services companies which provide well workover and
stimulation services as well as nitrogen pumping, coiled tubing, fluid handling and wellsite construction and
preparation services. This transaction complemented our existing rig and fluids management businesses, as
well as significantly increased the number of coiled tubing units in our fleet. The OFS subsidiaries were
incorporated into both our Well Servicing segment and Production Services segment. The acquisition-date fair
value of the consideration transferred totaled $229.7 million which consisted of the following (in thousands):

The fair value of the 15.8 million common shares issued was $9.74 per share based on the closing market

price on the acquisition date (October 1, 2010).

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at

the acquisition date. We are in the process of finalizing third-party valuations of the tangible and certain
intangible assets; thus, the provisional measurements of tangible assets, intangible assets, goodwill and
deferred income tax assets are preliminary and subject to change. Valuations are not complete as we continue
to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Of the $21.0 million of acquired intangible assets, $20.0 million was preliminarily assigned to customer
relationships that will be amortized as the value of the relationships are realized using rates of 31%, 18.7%,
14.1%, 10.6%, 7.9%, 5.9%, 4.5%, and 3.3% through 2018. The remaining $1.0 million of acquired intangible
assets was assigned to non-compete agreements that will be amortized straight-line over 18 months. As noted
above, the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is preliminary pending receipt of the final
valuation for these assets.

The fair value of accounts receivable acquired on October 1, 2010 was $23.4 million, with the gross

contractual amount being $25.4 million. The Company expects $2.0 million to be uncollectible.

For the goodwill acquired, $91.3 million was assigned to coiled tubing services, and $1.8 million was
assigned to fluid management services. We believe the goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the
acquired workforce and expansion of a growing service line. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible
for income tax purposes. The fair value of the acquired goodwill is preliminary pending receipt of the final
valuation.

We recognized $2.0 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the year ended
December 31, 2010. These costs are included in the statements of operations in the line item “General and
administrative expenses” for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also recognized $0.1 million
in costs associated with issuing and registering the shares.

Included in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, related to
this acquisition are revenues of approximately $46.4 million and operating income of $14.6 million from the
acquisition date to the period ended December 31, 2010.

These unaudited pro forma results, based on assumptions deemed appropriate by management, have been

prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the company’s results if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and
adjusting the results of OFS as if these changes had been applied on January 1, together with the consequential
tax effects.

Enhanced Oilfield Technologies, LLC (“EOT”).

In December 2010, we acquired 100% of the equity

interests in EOT, a privately-held oilfield technology company. We accounted for this acquisition as a business
combination. The acquired business was still in the developmental stage at the time of acquisition; accordingly,
there are no results of operations for EOT included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2010.

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The total consideration for the acquisition was a cash payment of $11.7 million at closing. EOT is an

oilfield technology company which develops expandable liner hanger systems. This technology will comple-
ment our existing service offerings. The EOT assets were incorporated into our Production Services segment.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired at the acquisition date.

We are in the process of performing third-party valuations of the intangible assets acquired; thus, the
provisional measurements of intangible assets and goodwill are preliminary and subject to change.

The $7.0 million of acquired intangible assets has been preliminarily assigned to patents that we expect

to be amortized straight-line over 20 years. As noted above, the fair value of the acquired identifiable
intangible asset is preliminary pending receipt of the final valuation for these assets. The valuation of these
assets has not been completed as of December 31, 2010 due to the timing of the closing of the transaction.

The goodwill acquired of $4.7 million was assigned to our fishing and rental business. We believe the

goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the entrance in a new technology and service offering. All of
the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

We recognized less than $0.1 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the year

ended December 31, 2010. These costs are included in the statement of operations in the line item “general
and administrative expenses.”

Other Acquisitions. We have made other asset acquisitions during 2010 as part of our business strategy.

In June 2010, we acquired five large diameter capable coiled tubing units and associated equipment for
approximately $12.7 million in cash from Express Energy Services, privately-held oilfield service companies.
Also, in November 2010, we acquired 13 rigs and associated equipment from Five J.A.B., privately-held
oilfield companies, for cash consideration of approximately $14.6 million.

2009 Acquisitions

Geostream Services Group (“Geostream”). On September 1, 2009, we acquired an additional 24%

interest in Geostream for $16.4 million. This was our second investment in Geostream pursuant to an
agreement dated August 26, 2008, as amended. This second investment brought our total investment in
Geostream to 50%. Prior to the acquisition of the additional interest, we accounted for our ownership in
Geostream as an equity-method investment. Upon acquiring the 50% interest, we also obtained majority
representation on Geostream’s board of directors and a controlling interest. We accounted for this acquisition
as a business combination achieved in stages. The results of Geostream have been included in our consolidated
financial statements since the acquisition date, with the portion outside of our control forming a noncontrolling
interest.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled approximately $35.0 million, which
consisted of cash consideration in the second investment and the fair value of our previous equity interest. The
acquisition date fair value of our previous equity interest was approximately $18.3 million. We recognized a

loss of $0.2 million as a result of remeasuring our prior equity interest in Geostream held before the business
combination, which is included in the line item “other, net” in the 2009 consolidated statements of operations.

All of the purchase price allocations for 2009 acquisitions were finalized in 2010 without significant

changes.

2008 Acquisitions

Leader Energy Services Ltd. (“Leader”). On July 22, 2008, we purchased all of the United States-based

assets of Leader, a Canadian company, for total consideration of $35.4 million, including direct transaction
costs. The Leader assets were incorporated into our Production Services segment.

Hydra-Walk, Inc. (“Hydra-Walk”). On May 30, 2008, we acquired Hydra-Walk, a privately owned
company providing automated pipe handling services. The purchase price totaled $10.7 million, including
direct transaction costs. The purchase price also provided for a performance earn-out of which we paid
$1.1 million total. Hydra-Walk was incorporated into our Production Services segment.

Western Drilling, LLC. (“Western”). On April 3, 2008, we acquired Western, a privately-owned
company based in California that provides workover and drilling services. The purchase price totaled
$52.0 million, including direct transaction costs. Western was incorporated into our Well Servicing segment.

All of the purchase price allocations for 2008 acquisitions were finalized in 2009.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 1, 2010, we completed the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses to Patterson-

UTI. Management determined to sell these businesses because they were not aligned with our core business
strategy of well intervention and international expansion. For the periods presented in this report, we show the
results of operations related to these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods. Prior to the sale, the
businesses sold to Patterson-UTI were reported as part of our Production Services segment and were based
entirely in the U.S. The sale of these businesses represented the sale of a significant portion of a reporting unit
which requires the reassessment of goodwill. However, due to previous impairment charges, there was no
goodwill related to this segment remaining in 2010. Because the agreed-upon purchase price for the businesses
exceeded the carrying value of the assets being sold, we did not record a write-down on these assets on the
date that they became classified as held for sale. The carrying value of the assets sold was $76.5 million as of
September 30, 2010 and $74.3 million as of December 31, 2009. We discontinued depreciation and
amortization of our pressure pumping and wireline property and equipment at June 30, 2010 when they were
classified as held for sale.

We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software. These
costs are capitalized to work in progress until such time the application is put in service. For the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we capitalized costs in the amount of $14.7 million, $13.1 million, and
$4.5 million, respectively. Capitalized internal-use software during 2010 consisted primarily of our expendi-
tures for new ERP and Human Resources information systems.

Interest is capitalized on the average amount of accumulated expenditures for major capital projects under

construction using an effective interest rate based on related debt until the underlying assets are placed into
service. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3.5 million,
$4.0 million, and $5.1 million, respectively.

We are obligated under various capital leases for certain vehicles and equipment that expire at various

Retirement and Impairment Charge

During the third quarter of 2009, we removed from service and retired a portion of our U.S. rig fleet and
associated support equipment, resulting in the recording of a pre-tax asset retirement charge of $65.9 million.
We retired these rigs in order to better align supply with demand for well servicing as market activity
remained low. The asset retirement charge is included in the line item “asset retirements and impairments” in
the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. These assets were reported
under our Well Servicing segment.

Also, during the third quarter of 2009, we performed an assessment of the fair value of the assets in our

Production Services segment. This assessment resulted in the recording of a pre-tax impairment charge of
$31.1 million during the third quarter of 2009. The asset impairment charge is included in the line item “asset
retirements and impairments” in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
2009.

Certain of our intangible assets are denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars and as such the

values of these assets are subject to fluctuations associated with changes in exchange rates. Additionally,
certain of these assets are also subject to purchase accounting adjustments. The estimated fair values of
intangible assets obtained through acquisitions consummated in the preceding twelve months are based on
preliminary information which is subject to change until final valuations are obtained.

We perform annual impairment tests associated with our goodwill on December 31 of each year, or more
frequently if circumstances warrant. Under the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we compared the fair
value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on the results of our annual test,
the fair value of our rig services, coiled tubing services, fluid management services reporting units and our
Russia and Canadian reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values. Because the fair value of the
reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values, we determined that no potential for impairment of
our goodwill associated with those reporting units existed as of December 31, 2010, and that step two of the
impairment test was not required.

As discussed in “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” during the
fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment assessment for our Russian
reporting unit from September 30 to December 31. We tested $24.6 million of goodwill associated with the
Russian reporting unit on December 31, 2010 and the first step of the goodwill impairment test showed that
the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value. A key assumption in our model
is that revenue related to this reporting unit will increase in future years. Potential events that could affect this
assumption are the level of development, exploration and production activity of, and corresponding capital
spending by, oil and natural gas companies in the Russian Federation, oil and natural gas production costs,
government regulations and conditions in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry.

In 2009, we identified triggering events which required us to test our goodwill for impairment during the

third quarter of 2009. Upon completion of the 2009 assessment, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of
$0.5 million to our Production Services segment. The impairment charge is included in the line item “asset
retirements and impairments” in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
2009. We tested our goodwill for potential impairment again on the 2009 annual testing date. The results of
that test indicated that none of our reporting units that had goodwill had a fair value that was not substantially
in excess of its carrying value, and no goodwill existed at any of our reporting units that were at risk of failing
step one of the goodwill impairment test.

Upon completion of the 2008 assessment, we determined that the goodwill of the pressure pumping and

fishing and rental reporting units comprising our Production Services segment was impaired, as such, we
recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $20.7 million for our Production Services segment during the fourth
quarter of 2008.

potential exercise of 2.8 million, 3.5 million, and 2.6 million stock options, respectively, because the effect
would be anti-dilutive. The diluted earnings per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008 each exclude the potential exercise of 0.4 million SARs because the effects of such exercises on earnings
per share in those periods would be anti-dilutive. For 2010 and 2009, these options and SARs would be anti-
dilutive because of our net loss from continuing operations in those years. For 2008, these options and SARs
were considered anti-dilutive because their exercise prices exceeded the average price of our stock during
those years.

There have been no material changes in share amounts subsequent to the balance sheet date that would

have a material impact on the earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2010. However,
we issued 1.1 million shares of restricted stock on February 4, 2011.

NOTE 10. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

In connection with our well servicing activities, we operate a number of saltwater disposal (“SWD”)
facilities. Our operations involve the transportation, handling and disposal of fluids in our SWD facilities that
are by-products of the drilling process. SWD facilities used in connection with our fluid hauling operations are
subject to future costs associated with the retirement of these properties. As a result, we have incurred costs
associated with the proper storage and disposal of these materials.

Annual amortization of the assets associated with the asset retirement obligations was $0.5 million,

$0.5 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A

NOTE 11. EQUITY-METHOD INVESTMENTS

IROC Energy Services Corp.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 we owned approximately 8.7 million shares of IROC Energy Services

Corp. (“IROC”), an Alberta-based oilfield services company. This represented 20.1% of IROC’s outstanding
common stock on December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Through December 31, 2010, we have significant influence over the operations of IROC through our
ownership interest, but we do not control it. We account for our investment in IROC using the equity method.
The pro-rata share of IROC’s earnings and losses to which we are entitled is recorded in our consolidated
statements of operations as a component of other income and expense, with an offsetting increase or decrease
to the carrying value of our investment, as appropriate. Any earnings distributed back to us from IROC in the
form of dividends would result in a decrease in the carrying value of our equity investment. The value of our

82

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

investment may also increase or decrease each period due to changes in the exchange rate between the
U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Changes in the value of our investment due to fluctuations in exchange rates
are offset by accumulated other comprehensive income.

During 2010, the value of our investment in IROC increased by $0.2 million due to changes in exchange
rates between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we
recorded equity losses of less than $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million related to our investment in
IROC, respectively. During the first quarter of 2010, IROC declared a dividend which was paid to us in
February of 2010, reducing the value of our investment by $0.2 million.

The carrying value of our investment in IROC totaled $5.1 million and $4.0 million as of December 31,

2010 and 2009, respectively. The carrying value of our investment in IROC was $5.3 million below our
proportionate share of the book value of the net assets of IROC as of December 31, 2010. This difference is
attributable to certain long-lived assets of IROC, and our proportionate share of IROC’s net income or loss
will be adjusted in future periods over the estimated remaining useful lives of those long-lived assets.
Accordingly, our investment increased $1.1 million during 2010 due to the accretion of this difference. The
market value of our IROC shares was approximately $10.4 million as of December 31, 2010, based on quoted
market prices for IROC’s shares.

NOTE 12. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

On March 7, 2010, we entered into an agreement with AlMansoori Petroleum Services LLC

(“AlMansoori”) to form the joint venture AlMansoori Key Energy Services LLC under the laws of Abu Dhabi,
UAE. The purpose of the joint venture is to engage in conventional workover and drilling services, pressure
pumping services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental tools and services, rig monitoring services, pipe
handling services, fluids, waste treatment, and handling services, and wireline services. AlMansoori holds a
51% interest in the joint venture while we hold a 49% interest. Future capital contributions to the joint venture
will be made on equal terms and in equal amounts and any future share capital increases will be issued in
proportion to the initial share capital percentages but paid for by AlMansoori and Key in equal amounts. Also,
we share the profits and losses of the joint venture on equal terms and in equal amounts with AlMansoori.
However, we hold three of the five board of directors seats and a controlling financial interest. We consolidate
the entity in our financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1.0 million of revenue and $1.5 million of net

loss in the statement of operations associated with this joint venture. Also, during 2010 we guaranteed the
timely performance of the joint venture under its sole contract valued at $2 million. At December 31, 2010,
there was approximately $2.5 million of assets in the joint venture.

Notes receivable-related parties. The amounts reported relate to notes receivable from certain of our
employees related to relocation and retention agreements as well as services performed with affiliated parties.
The carrying values of these notes approximate their fair values as of the applicable balance sheet dates.

8.375% Senior Notes due 2014. The fair value of our long-term debt is based upon the quoted market
prices and face value for the various debt securities at December 31, 2010. The carrying value of these notes
as of December 31, 2010 was $425.0 million and the fair value was $450.5 million (106.0% of carrying
value).

Senior Secured Credit Facility revolving loans. Because of their variable interest rates and our recent
amendment of the credit facility, the fair values of the revolving loans borrowed under our Senior Secured
Credit Facility approximated their carrying values as of December 31, 2009. On October 4, 2010, we repaid
the outstanding balance of these loans.

Notes payable — related parties. The amounts reported relate to the seller financing arrangement entered

into in connection with our acquisition of Moncla in 2007. Because of their variable interest rates and the
discount applied to the notes the carrying value of these notes approximated their fair values as of
December 31, 2009. On May 13, 2010, we repaid the outstanding principal balance of this note, plus accrued
and unpaid interest.

$(121,657)

In 2010 and 2009, deferred tax liabilities decreased by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for

adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In recording deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those deferred income
tax assets would be deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities and
projected future taxable income for this determination. To fully realize the deferred income tax assets related
to our federal net operating loss carryforwards that do not have a valuation allowance due to Section 382
limitations, we would need to generate future federal taxable income of approximately $2.6 million over the
next eight years. With certain exceptions noted below, we believe that after considering all the available
objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to the
historical evidence, it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we have available $4.9 million, $7.1 million
and $8.2 million, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards. Approximately $2.5 million of our
net operating losses as of December 31, 2010 are subject to a $1.1 million annual Section 382 limitation and
expire in 2018. Approximately $2.4 million of our net operating losses as of December 31, 2010 are subject to
a $5,000 annual Section 382 limitation and expire in 2016 through 2018. Due to annual limitations under
Sections 382 and 383, management believes that we will not be able to utilize all available carryforwards prior
to their ultimate expiration. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had a valuation allowance of $0.8 million
related to the deferred tax asset associated with our remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards that
will expire before utilization due to Section 382 limitations.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we have available approximately $37.7 million,
$64.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively, of state net operating loss carryforwards that will expire between

86

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2020 to 2029. The deferred tax asset associated with our remaining state net operating loss carryforwards at
December 31, 2010 is $3.3 million. Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will be able to
utilize all available carryforwards prior to their ultimate expiration.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we have available approximately $74.5 million,

$16.4 million, and $3.2 million, respectively, of foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will expire
between 2014 and 2030. The gross deferred tax asset associated with our foreign net operating loss
carryforwards at December 31, 2010 is $22.2 million. Management believes that it is more likely than not that
we will be able to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards prior to their ultimate expiration in all foreign
jurisdictions, with the exception of Argentina. Management believes that it is more likely than not that a
portion of the net operating loss carryforwards in Argentina will not be utilized prior to their ultimate
expiration, so a valuation allowance of $2.1 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010.

We did not provide for U.S. income taxes or withholding taxes on the 2010 unremitted earnings of our

Mexico subsidiaries as these earnings are considered permanently reinvested. Furthermore, we did not provide
for U.S. income taxes on unremitted earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries in 2010 or prior years as our
tax basis in these foreign subsidiaries exceeded the book basis for each period.

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign

jurisdictions. We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended
December 31, 2009. Our other significant filings are in Argentina and Mexico, which have been examined
through 2006 and 2008, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we had $2.2 million, $3.2 million and $5.6 million,

respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. We have
accrued $0.8 million, $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that it is reasonably possible that $0.9 million of
our currently remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which are individually insignificant, may be
recognized by the end of 2011 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations and settlement of an open
audit.

We recognized a net tax benefit of $1.0 million in 2010 for expirations of statutes of limitations. We
recorded a net income tax benefit of $1.2 million and an increase to deferred tax liabilities of $0.2 million
related to these statute expirations.

8.375% Senior Notes due 2014

On November 29, 2007, we issued $425.0 million of Senior Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”).

The Senior Notes were priced at 100% of their face value to yield 8.375%. Net proceeds, after deducting
initial purchasers’ fees and offering expenses, were approximately $416.1 million. The Senior Notes were
registered as public debt effective August 22, 2008.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company. They rank effectively
subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally
guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The Senior
Notes mature on December 1, 2014.

On or after December 1, 2011, the Senior Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time

to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal
amount redeemed) below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of the years indicated below:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to December 1, 2011, we may, at our option, redeem

all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus the
Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Senior Notes and plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we
must give holders of the Senior Notes the opportunity to sell to us their Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
of purchase.

We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. The

Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:

(cid:129) sell assets;

(cid:129) pay dividends or make other distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness;

(cid:129) make investments;

(cid:129) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;

(cid:129) create certain liens;

(cid:129) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries to us;

(cid:129) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

(cid:129) engage in transactions with affiliates; and

(cid:129) create unrestricted subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions
in connection with the covenants of our Senior Secured Credit Facility. Substantially all of the covenants will
terminate before the Senior Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the Senior Notes an
investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of December 31,
2010, the Senior Notes were below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of
achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes
later falls below an investment grade rating.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

We maintain a Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate

of banks of which Bank of America Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are the administrative agents.
As amended, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit
sub-facility and swing line facility, up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, all of which will
mature no later than November 29, 2012.

We have the ability to request increases in the total commitments under the facility by up to
$100.0 million in the aggregate, with any such increases being subject to certain requirements as well as
lenders’ approval.

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Senior Secured Credit Facility (as amended) is, at our
option, (i) LIBOR plus a margin of 350 to 450 basis points, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, or,
(ii) the base rate (defined as the higher of (x) Bank of America’s prime rate and (y) the Federal Funds rate
plus 0.5%), plus a margin of 250 to 350 basis points, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Unused
commitment fees on the facility range from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, which, among other things,

require us to maintain certain financial ratios and limit our annual capital expenditures. In addition to

89

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

covenants that impose restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares, have assets owned by domestic
subsidiaries located outside the United States and other such limitations, the amended Senior Secured Credit
Facility also requires:

(cid:129) that our consolidated funded indebtedness be no greater than 45% of our adjusted total capitalization;

(cid:129) that our senior secured leverage ratio of senior secured funded debt to trailing four quarters of earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Senior
Secured Credit Facility, “EBITDA”) be no greater than (i) 2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 2010 and, (ii) thereafter, 2.00 to 1.00;

(cid:129) that we maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of trailing four quarters EBITDA to interest

(cid:129) that we limit our capital expenditures (not including any made by foreign subsidiaries that are not

wholly-owned) to (i) $120.0 million during each fiscal year if our consolidated leverage ratio of total
funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is greater than 3.50 to 1.00; or (ii) $250.0 million if our
consolidated leverage ratio of total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is equal to or less
than 3.50 to 1.00, subject to certain adjustments;

(cid:129) that we only make acquisitions that either (i) are completed for equity consideration, without regard to
leverage, or (ii) are completed for cash consideration, but only (A) if the consolidated leverage ratio of
total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is 2.75 to 1.00 or less, (x) there is an aggregate
amount of $25.0 million in unused credit commitments under the facility and (y) we are in pro forma
compliance with the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement; and (B) if the consolidated
leverage ratio of total funded debt to trailing four quarters EBITDA is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, in
addition to the requirements in subclauses (x) and (y) in clause (A) above, the cash amount paid with
respect to acquisitions is limited to $25.0 million per fiscal year (subject to potential increase using
amounts then available for capital expenditures and any net cash proceeds we receive after October 27,
2009 in connection with the issuance or sale of equity interests or the incurrence or issuance of certain
unsecured debt securities that are identified as being used for such purpose); and

(cid:129) that we limit our investment in foreign subsidiaries (including by way of loans made by us and our

domestic subsidiaries to foreign subsidiaries and guarantees made by us and our domestic subsidiaries
of debt of foreign subsidiaries) to $75.0 million during any fiscal year or an aggregate amount after
October 27, 2009 equal to (i) the greater of $200.0 million or 25% of our consolidated net worth, plus
(ii) any net cash proceeds we receive after October 27, 2009, in connection with the issuance or sale of
equity interests or the incurrence of certain unsecured debt securities that are identified as being used
for such purpose.

In addition, the amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, including,

without limitation, restrictions related to (i) liens; (ii) debt, guarantees and other contingent obligations;
(iii) mergers and consolidations; (iv) sales, transfers and other dispositions of property or assets; (v) loans,
acquisitions, joint ventures and other investments; (vi) dividends and other distributions to, and redemptions
and repurchases from, equity holders; (vii) prepaying, redeeming or repurchasing the Senior Notes or other
unsecured debt incurred pursuant to the sixth bullet point listed above; (viii) granting negative pledges other
than to the lenders; (ix) changes in the nature of our business; (x) amending organizational documents, or
amending or otherwise modifying any debt if such amendment or modification would have a material adverse
effect, or amending the Senior Notes or any other unsecured debt incurred pursuant to the sixth bullet point
listed above if the effect of such amendment is to shorten the maturity of the Senior Notes or such other

unsecured debt; and (xi) changes in accounting policies or reporting practices; in each of the foregoing cases,
with certain exceptions.

We may prepay the Senior Secured Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or

penalty, subject to our obligation to reimburse the lenders for breakage and redeployment costs.

As of December 31, 2010, $59.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our revolving credit

facility, leaving $240.6 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the Senior
Secured Credit Facility, committed letters of credit count against our borrowing capacity. All obligations under
the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries and are secured by most of our
assets, including our accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Notes Payable to Related Parties

Concurrently with the sale of six barge rigs and related equipment in May 2010, we repaid the remaining

$6.0 million outstanding under a note payable to a related party. This was the second of two notes payable
with related parties (each, a “Related Party Note”) entered into on October 25, 2007. The first Related Party
Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $12.5 million, and was repaid on October 25, 2009. The second
Related Party Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $10.0 million and was payable in annual
installments of $2.0 million.

Litigation

Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. Due in part to

the locations where we conduct business in the continental United States, we are subject to jury verdicts or
other outcomes that may be favorable to plaintiffs. We continually assess our contingent liabilities, including
potential litigation liabilities, as well as the adequacy of our accruals and our need for the disclosure of these
items. We establish a provision for a contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of our liabilities
related to litigation that are deemed probable and reasonably estimable is approximately $3.8 million. We do
not believe that the disposition of any of these matters will have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a net increase in our
reserves of $1.1 million related to the settlement of ongoing legal matters and the continued refinement of
liabilities recognized for litigation deemed probable and estimable. Our liabilities related to litigation matters
that were deemed probable and estimable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2.7 million and
$4.5 million, respectively.

Litigation with Former Officers and Employees

Our former general counsel, Jack D. Loftis, Jr., filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court,
District of New Jersey, on April 21, 2006, in which he alleged a “whistle-blower” claim under the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act, breach of contract, breach of duties of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty and
wrongful termination. On August 17, 2007, we filed counterclaims against Mr. Loftis alleging attorney
malpractice, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duties. In our counterclaims, we sought repayment of
all severance paid to Mr. Loftis (approximately $0.8 million) plus benefits paid during the period July 8, 2004
to September 21, 2004, and damages relating to the allegations of malpractice and breach of fiduciary duties.
On September 2, 2010, we reached a settlement with Mr. Loftis regarding the alleged claims, and recorded an
additional charge related to the settlement. The resolution of this claim did not have a material effect on our
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

UMMA Verdict

On May 3, 2010, a District Court jury in McMullen County, Texas returned a verdict in the case of
UMMA Resources, LLC v. Key Energy Services, Inc. The lawsuit involved pipe recovery and workover
operations performed between September 2003 through December 2004. The plaintiff alleged that we breached
an oral contract and negligently performed the work. We countersued for our unpaid invoices for work
performed. The jury found that Key was in breach of contract, that Key was negligent in performing the work,
and that Key was not entitled to damages under its counterclaims. On December 15, 2010, our motion for
judgment notwithstanding the verdict was partially granted; however, the Court entered judgment in favor of
UMMA on one of its claims. During the subsequent briefing on motions for new trial and for reconsideration,
the parties reached a settlement in this case, and we recorded a loss for this matter. The resolution of this
matter did not have a material effect on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Tax Audits

We are routinely the subject of audits by tax authorities, and in the past have received material
assessments from tax auditors. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we have recorded reserves that
management feels are appropriate for future potential liabilities as a result of prior audits. While we believe
we have fully reserved for these assessments, the ultimate amount of settlements can vary from our estimates.

Self-Insurance Reserves

We maintain reserves for workers’ compensation and vehicle liability on our balance sheet based on our

judgment and estimates using an actuarial method based on claims incurred. We estimate general liability
claims on a case-by-case basis. We maintain insurance policies for workers’ compensation, vehicular liability
and general liability claims. These insurance policies carry self-insured retention limits or deductibles on a per
occurrence basis. The retention limits or deductibles are accounted for in our accrual process for all workers’
compensation, vehicular liability and general liability claims. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we have
recorded $60.3 million and $65.2 million, respectively, of self-insurance reserves related to workers’ compen-
sation, vehicular liabilities and general liability claims. Partially offsetting these liabilities, we had approxi-
mately $15.4 million and $17.2 million of insurance receivables as of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. We feel that the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and
circumstances and do not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued for existing
claims.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

For environmental reserve matters, including remediation efforts for current locations and those relating

to previously-disposed properties, we record liabilities when our remediation efforts are probable and the costs

94

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

to conduct such remediation efforts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we have
recorded $4.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for our environmental remediation liabilities. We feel that
the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and do not expect
further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued.

We provide performance bonds to provide financial surety assurances for the remediation and mainte-

nance of our SWD properties to comply with environmental protection standards. Costs for SWD properties
may be mandatory (to comply with applicable laws and regulations), in the future (required to divest or cease
operations), or for optimization (to improve operations, but not for safety or regulatory compliance).

NOTE 18. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We maintain a 401(k) plan as part of our employee benefits package. Late in the first quarter of 2009,

management suspended the 401(k) matching program as part of our cost cutting efforts. No matching
contributions were made during 2010. Prior to this suspension, we matched 100% of employee contributions
up to 4% of the employee’s salary into our 401(k) plan, subject to maximums of $9,800 and $9,200 for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. Our matching contributions were $1.7 million and
$11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We do not offer participants the
option to purchase units of our common stock through a 401(k) plan fund. We reinstated the 401(k) matching
program effective January 1, 2011.

NOTE 19. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had 200,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a

$0.10 par value, of which 141,656,426 shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010 and
123,993,480 shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009. During 2010 and 2009, no dividends
were declared or paid. Under the terms of the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Credit Facility, we must meet
certain financial covenants before we may pay dividends. We currently do not intend to pay dividends.

Tax Withholding

We repurchase shares of restricted common stock that have been previously granted to certain of our
employees, pursuant to an agreement under which those individuals are permitted to sell shares back to us in
order to satisfy the minimum income tax withholding requirements related to vesting of these grants. We
repurchased a total of 301,837, 71,954 and 97,443 shares for an aggregate cost of $3.1 million, $0.5 million
and $1.2 million during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which represented the fair market value of the
shares based on the price of our stock on the dates of purchase.

Common Stock Warrants

On May 12, 2009, in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit, we issued to two individuals warrants
to purchase shares of Key’s common stock. The warrants, which expire on May 12, 2014, are exercisable for
174,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.56 per share. We received no proceeds upon
the issuance of the warrants, but we will receive the exercise price of any warrants that are exercised prior to
their expiration. The warrants, which are unregistered securities, were issued in a private placement and,
therefore, their issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
As of December 31, 2010, 54,400 of these warrants had been exercised, leaving 119,600 outstanding.

NOTE 20. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2009 Incentive Plan

On June 4, 2009, our stockholders approved the 2009 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2009

Incentive Plan”). The 2009 Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors or a committee designated
by our board of directors (the “Committee”). Our board of directors or the Committee (the “Administrator”)
will have the power and authority to select Participants (as defined below) in the 2009 Incentive Plan and to
grant Awards (as defined below) to such Participants pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Incentive Plan. The
2009 Incentive Plan expires June 4, 2019.

Subject to adjustment, the total number of shares of our common stock available for the grant of Awards
under the 2009 Incentive Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares; however, for purposes of this limitation, any
stock subject to an award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization will again
become available for issuance under the 2009 Incentive Plan. Subject to adjustment, no Participant will be
granted, during any one year period, options to purchase common stock and/or stock appreciation rights with
respect to more than 500,000 shares of common stock. Stock available for distribution under the 2009
Incentive Plan will come from authorized and unissued shares or shares we reacquire in any manner. All
awards under the 2009 Incentive Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of issuance.

Awards may be in the form of stock options (incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options),

restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards and stock appreciation rights
(collectively, “Awards”). Awards may be granted to employees, directors and, in some cases, consultants and
those individuals whom the Administrator determines are reasonably expected to become employees, directors

96

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

or consultants following the grant date of the Award (“Participants”). However, incentive stock options may be
granted only to employees. Vesting periods may be set at the Board’s discretion but are generally set at two to
four years. Awards to our directors are generally not subject to vesting.

Our Board of Directors at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the 2009 Incentive

Plan. However, no repricing of stock options is permitted unless approved by our stockholders, and, except as
provided otherwise in the 2009 Incentive Plan, no other amendment will be effective unless approved by our
stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any applicable law or securities
exchange listing requirements. As of December 31, 2010, there were 2.2 million remaining shares available
under the 2009 Incentive Plan.

2007 Incentive Plan

On December 6, 2007, our stockholders approved the 2007 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2007
Incentive Plan”). The 2007 Incentive Plan is substantially similar to the 2009 Incentive Plan except for certain
differences related to treatment of Awards at retirement and transferability of Awards at death.

Subject to adjustment, the total number of shares of our common stock that are available for the grant of

Awards under the 2007 Incentive Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares; however, for purposes of this
limitation, any stock subject to an award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization
will again become available for issuance under the 2007 Incentive Plan.

Our board of directors at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the 2007 Incentive

Plan. However, except as provided otherwise in the 2007 Incentive Plan, no amendment will be effective
unless approved by our stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any applicable
law or securities exchange listing requirements. As of December 31, 2010, there were 0.2 million remaining
shares available under the 2007 Incentive Plan.

1997 Incentive Plan

On January 13, 1998, our stockholders approved the Key Energy Group, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan, as
amended (the “1997 Incentive Plan”). The 1997 Incentive Plan is an amendment and restatement of the plans
formerly known as the Key Energy Group, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan and the Key Energy Group, Inc. 1995
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan. On November 17, 2007, the 1997 Incentive Plan terminated pursuant to
its terms.

The exercise price of options granted under the 1997 Incentive Plan is at or above the fair market value

per share on the date the options are granted. Under the 1997 Incentive Plan, while the shares of common
stock are listed on a securities exchange, fair market value was determined using the closing sales price on the
immediate preceding business day as reported on such securities exchange.

When the shares were not listed on an exchange, which includes the period from April 2005 through
October 2007, the fair market value was determined by using the published closing price of the common stock
on the Pink Sheets on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant.

During the period 2000-2001, the Board of Directors granted 3.7 million stock options that were outside

the 1997 Incentive Plan, of which 60,000 remained outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The 3.7 million
non-plan options were in addition to and do not include other options which were granted under the 1997
Incentive Plan, but not in conformity with certain of the terms of the 1997 Incentive Plan.

Accelerated Vesting of Option and SAR Awards

Our Board of Directors resolved during the fourth quarter of 2008 to accelerate the vesting period on

certain of our outstanding unvested stock option awards and stock appreciation rights, which affected

97

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

approximately 280 employees. As a result of the acceleration, we recorded a pre-tax charge in general and
administrative expense during the fourth quarter of 2008. Because of the acceleration of the vesting term, no
expense is recognized on these awards in periods subsequent to December 31, 2008.

Stock Option Awards

Stock option awards granted under our incentive plans have a maximum contractual term of ten years
from the date of grant. Shares issuable upon exercise of a stock option are issued from authorized but unissued
shares of our common stock. The following table summarizes the stock option activity and certain options
granted in prior years that were outside the 1997 Incentive Plan (shares in thousands):

We did not grant any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010. The total fair value of
stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was less than $0.1 million, and
$7.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the year ended December 31,
2010 was less than $0.1 million. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized less
than $0.1 million, less than $0.1 million and $15.1 million in pre-tax expense related to stock options,
respectively. We recognized tax benefits of less than $0.1 million, less than $0.1 million, and $5.2 million
related to our stock options for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Compensa-
tion expense recognized during 2008 related to stock option awards included the charge we took for the
accelerated vesting, as discussed above. For unvested stock option awards outstanding as of December 31,
2010, we expect to recognize less than $0.1 million of compensation expense over a weighted average
remaining vesting period of approximately 1.5 years. The weighted average remaining contractual term for
stock option awards exercisable as of December 31, 2010 is 5.6 years. The intrinsic value of the options
exercised for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $4.0 million, $1.9 million and
$5.8 million, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of options for the year ended December 31, 2010,
was $3.6 million with recognition of associated tax benefits in the amount of $0.3 million.

vested immediately upon issuance during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For common stock grants that vest immediately upon issuance, we record expense equal to the fair market
value of the shares on the date of grant. For common stock awards that do not immediately vest, we recognize
compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the grant, net of estimated and actual forfeitures. For
the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $10.6 million, $6.0 million and
$6.1 million, respectively, of pre-tax expense from continuing operations associated with common stock

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

awards, including common stock grants to our outside directors. In connection with the expense related to
common stock awards recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized tax benefits of
$4.1 million. Tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2.0 million and $1.5 million,
respectively. For the unvested common stock awards outstanding as of December 31, 2010, we anticipate that
we will recognize $11.3 million of pre-tax expense over the next 1.0 years.

Performance Units

During March 2010, we issued a total of 0.6 million performance units to certain of our employees and

officers. Performance units provide a cash incentive award, the unit value of which is determined with
reference to our common stock. The performance units are measured based on two performance periods. One
half of the performance units are measured based on a performance period consisting of the first year after the
grant date, and the other half are measured based on a performance period consisting of the second year after
the grant date. At the end of each performance period, 100%, 50%, or 0% of an individual’s performance units
for that period will vest, based on the relative placement of our total shareholder return within a peer group
consisting of Key and five other companies. If we are in the top third of the peer group, 100% of the
performance units will vest; if we are in the middle third, 50% will vest; and if we are in the bottom third, the
performance units will expire unvested and no payment will be made. If any performance units vest for a
given performance period, the award holder will be paid a cash amount equal to the vested percentage of the
performance units multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the
performance period. We account for the performance units as a liability-type award as they are settled in cash.
As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of outstanding performance units issued in March 2010 was
$2.7 million, and is being accreted to compensation expense over the vesting terms of the awards. The
unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested performance units is estimated to be $1.2 million and
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years as of December 31, 2010.

Phantom Share Plan

In December 2006, we announced the implementation of a “Phantom Share Plan,” in which certain of our
employees were granted “Phantom Shares.” Phantom Shares vest ratably over a four-year period and convey the
right to the grantee to receive a cash payment on the anniversary date of the grant equal to the fair market value of
the Phantom Shares vesting on that date. Grantees are not permitted to defer this payment to a later date. The
Phantom Shares are a “liability” type award and we account for these awards at fair value. We recognize
compensation expense related to the Phantom Shares based on the change in the fair value of the awards during
the period and the percentage of the service requirement that has been performed, net of estimated and actual
forfeitures, with an offsetting liability recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognized $1.1 million and
$1.9 million of pre-tax compensation expense from continuing operations, and less than $0.1 million of pre-tax
benefit associated with the Phantom Shares for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of December 31, 2010, we recorded current and non-current liabilities of $1.1 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, which represented the aggregate fair value of the Phantom Shares on that date.

We recognized income tax benefits associated with the Phantom Shares of $0.4 million, $0.7 million and
less than $0.1 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For unvested Phantom Share awards outstanding
as of December 31, 2010, based on the market price of our common stock on this date, we expect to recognize
$0.4 million of compensation expense over a weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately
0.8 years. During 2010, cash payments related to the Phantom Shares totaled $2.2 million.

Stock Appreciation Rights

In August 2007, we issued approximately 587,000 SARs to our executive officers. Each SAR has a ten-

year term from the date of grant. The vesting of all outstanding SAR awards was accelerated during the fourth
quarter of 2008. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the recipient will receive an amount equal to the difference

101

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

between the exercise price and the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise,
multiplied by the number of shares of common stock for which the SAR was exercised. All payments will be
made in shares of our common stock. Prior to exercise, the SAR does not entitle the recipient to receive any
shares of our common stock and does not provide the recipient with any voting or other stockholders’ rights.
We account for these SARs as equity awards and recognize compensation expense ratably over the vesting
period of the SAR based on their fair value on the date of issuance, net of estimated and actual forfeitures. We
did not recognize any expense associated with these awards during 2010 and 2009. Compensation expense
recognized in 2008 in connection with the SARs was $3.1 million. We recognized income tax benefits of
$1.1 million in 2008, in connection with this expense.

Valuation Assumptions on Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

The fair value of each stock option grant or SAR was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-

Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 21. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Employee Loans and Advances

From time to time, we have made certain retention loans and relocation loans to employees other than

executive officers. The retention loans are forgiven over various time periods so long as the employee
continues their employment with us. The relocation loans are repaid upon the employee selling his prior
residence. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, these loans, in the aggregate, totaled $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively. Of this amount, less than $0.1 million were made to our former officers, with the
remainder being made to our current employees.

Receivables from Affiliates

As discussed in “Note 2. Acquisitions”, in October 2010, we acquired certain subsidiaries, together with

associated assets, owned by OFS, a privately-held oilfield services company of ArcLight Capital Partners,
LLC. At the time of the acquisition, OFS conducted business with companies owned by one of the former
owners and employees of an OFS subsidiary purchased by us. Subsequent to the acquisition, we continued to
provide services to these companies. The prices charged for our services are at rates that are equivalent to the
prices charged to our other customers in the U.S. market. As of December 31, 2010, our receivables with
these related parties totaled $1.0 million and revenues from these customers since the date of acquisition
through the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $1.3 million.

Related Party Notes Payable

Concurrently with the sale of six barge rigs and related equipment in May 2010, we repaid the remaining

$6.0 million outstanding under a note payable to a related party. This was the second of two notes payable
with related parties (each, a “Related Party Note”) entered into on October 25, 2007. The first Related Party
Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $12.5 million, and was repaid on October 25, 2009. The second
Related Party Note was an unsecured note in the amount of $10.0 million and was payable in annual
installments of $2.0 million.

Transactions with Employees

In connection with an acquisition in 2008, the former owner of the acquiree became an employee of Key.

At the time of the acquisition, the employee owned, and continues to own, an exploration and production
company. Subsequent to the acquisition, we continued to provide services to this company. The prices charged
for these services are at rates that are an average of the prices charged to our other customers in the California
market. As of December 31, 2010, our receivables with this company totaled $0.2 million, and for the year
ended December 31, 2010, revenues from this company totaled $4.3 million.

Board of Director Relationships

One of the members of our Board of Directors is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief
Administrative Officer of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”), which is one of our customers. Sales
to Anadarko were approximately 4% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, and less
than 2% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Our sales to Anadarko were
less than 1% of Anadarko’s revenues for 2010, 2009 and 2008. Receivables outstanding from Anadarko were
approximately 2% and 1% of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Transactions with Anadarko for our services are made on terms consistent with other customers.

Concurrent with our acquisition of OFS in October 2010, we created a new class III directorship on our

Board with a term ending at the 2012 annual stockholder meeting. This vacancy was filled with by a nominee
designated by OFS pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement.

NOTE 23. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of December 31, 2010, we operate in two business segments, Well Servicing and Production Services.
Our rig services and fluid management services operations are aggregated within our Well Servicing segment.
Our pressure pumping services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental services and wireline services
operations, as well as our technology development group in Canada, are aggregated within our Production
Services segment. The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those described in “Note 1.
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” All inter-segment sales pricing is based on
current market conditions. As mentioned in “Note 3. Discontinued Operations,” on October 1, 2010, we
completed the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses to Patterson-UTI, which significantly

103

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

reduced our involvement in these lines of business. We are revising our reportable segments in the first quarter
of 2011 to realign our current business and management structure. The following is a description of our
segments as of December 31, 2010:

Well Servicing

Rig-Based Services

These services include the maintenance, workover and recompletion of existing wells, completion of
newly drilled wells, and plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful lives. We also provide
specialty drilling services to oil and natural gas producers with certain of our larger well servicing rigs that are
capable of providing conventional and horizontal drilling services.

Maintenance services provided by our rigs include routine mechanical repairs to the pumps, tubing and
other equipment in a well, removing debris and formation material from the wellbore, and pulling rods and
other downhole equipment out of the wellbore to identify and resolve a production problem.

The workover services that we provide are designed to enhance the production of existing wells, and

generally are more complex and time consuming than normal maintenance services. Workover services can
include deepening or extending well bores into new formations by drilling horizontal or lateral well bores,
sealing off depleted production zones and accessing previously bypassed production zones, converting former
production wells into injection wells for enhanced recovery operations and conducting major subsurface
repairs due to equipment failures. Workover services may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on
the complexity of the workover.

Our completion and recompletion services prepare a newly drilled oil or natural gas well for production.
We typically provide a well service rig and may also provide other equipment such as a workover package to
assist in the completion process.

Fluid Management Services

These services include fluid management logistics, including oilfield transportation and produced-water

disposal services. These services include vacuum truck services, fluid transportation services and disposal
services for operators whose oil or natural gas wells produce saltwater or other non-hydrocarbon fluids. In
addition, we are a supplier of frac tanks which are used for temporary storage of fluids associated with fluid
hauling operations. Our fluid management services will collect, transport and dispose of the saltwater. These
fluids are removed from the well site and transported for disposal in a SWD well.

Production Services Segment

Historically, our Production Services segment included pressure pumping services (fracturing, nitrogen,
acidizing, and cementing), wireline services (perforating, completion logging, production logging and casing
integrity services), coiled tubing services and fishing and rental services. On October 1, 2010, we completed
the sale of our pressure pumping and wireline businesses to Patterson-UTI, which significantly reduced our
involvement in these lines of business in the United States. As discussed in “Note 3. Discontinued Operations,”
for the financial statements presented in this report, we show the results of operations for our pressure
pumping and wireline business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2010,
our Production Services segment primarily consists of our coiled tubing and fishing and rental services. Our
Production Services segment also includes some specialty pumping services, nitrogen services, and cementing
services.

Coiled Tubing Services

Coiled tubing services involve the use of a continuous metal pipe spooled on a large reel for oil and

natural gas well applications, such as wellbore clean-outs, nitrogen jet lifts, and through-tubing fishing and
formation stimulations utilizing acid, chemical treatments and fracturing. Coiled tubing is also used for a
number of horizontal well applications such as milling temporary plugs between frac stages.

Fishing and Rental Services

We offer a full line of services and rental equipment designed for use both onshore and offshore drilling
and workover services. Fishing services involve recovering lost or stuck equipment in the wellbore utilizing a
broad array of “fishing tools.” Our rental tool inventory consists of drill pipe, production tubulars, handling
tools (including our patented Hydra-Walk» pipe-handling units and services), pressure-control equipment,
power swivels and foam air units.

Advanced Measurements, Inc. (“AMI”)

Also included in our Production Services segment is AMI, our technology development company based in

Canada. AMI is focused on oilfield service equipment controls, data acquisition and digital information flow.

Functional Support

We have aggregated all of our operating segments that do not meet the aggregation criteria to form a
“Functional Support” segment. These services include expenses associated with managing all of our reportable
operating segments. Functional Support assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and
notes receivable and investments in subsidiaries, our equity-method investment in IROC and deferred income
tax assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 2011, we acquired 10 SWD wells from Equity Energy Company for $14.3 million. We

accounted for this purchase as an asset acquisition.

On February 14, 2011, we commenced an any and all cash tender offer and consent solicitation with
respect to the Senior Notes. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on
March 14, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated. Our obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for
Senior Notes in the tender offer is conditioned on, among other things, the tender of Senior Notes representing
at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding on or prior to March 14,
2011 and our having received replacement financing on terms acceptable to us. We intend to fund the
repurchase of the Senior Notes, plus all related fees and expenses, from the proceeds of one or more capital
markets debt offerings and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance

that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,

has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting
objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves
human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human
failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper
management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.
Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or combination

of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting

as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

117

Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

Our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent

registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter of

2010, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

We implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system on May 1, 2010. This implemen-
tation resulted in certain changes to business processes and internal controls beginning in the second quarter
that impacted financial reporting. However, we continue to perform a significant portion of controls that follow
our previously tested control structure. We believe that the new ERP system and related changes to internal
controls will enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. We have taken the necessary steps to
monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the system implemen-
tation and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related controls during subsequent periods.
