Our Business Strategy
We have historically grown our product and service offerings organically, through capital spending and strategic acquisitions. Our investments are
focused in growth areas and on areas where we expect to be able to expand market share through our technology offerings and where we believe we can
achieve an attractive return on our investment. As part of our long-term strategy, we continue to review complementary acquisitions, invest in research and
development and make organic capital expenditures to enhance our cash flows, leverage our cost structure and increase our stockholders' returns. For
additional discussion of our business strategy, please read "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Recent Developments
In addition to capital spending, we have invested in acquisitions of businesses complementary to our growth strategy. Our acquisition strategy has
allowed us to leverage our existing and acquired products and services into new geographic locations and has expanded the breadth of our technology and
product offerings while allowing us to leverage our cost structure. We have made strategic and complementary acquisitions in each of our business segments
in recent years.
On December 12, 2017 we entered into an agreement to acquire GEODynamics, which provides oil and gas perforation systems and downhole tools in
support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. On January 12, 2018, we closed the acquisition of GEODynamics for total
consideration of approximately $615 million (the "GEODynamics Acquisition"), consisting of (i) $295 million in cash (net of cash acquired),
(ii) approximately 8.66 million shares of our common stock (valued at $34.05 per share on the date of closing) and (iii) an unsecured $25 million promissory
note.
-4-
In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, we completed several financing transactions in 2018 to extend the maturity of our debt and to provide
flexibility in repaying outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with anticipated future cash flows from
operations.
On January 30, 2018, we sold $200 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% convertible senior notes due February 2023 (the "Notes") through a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers. We received net proceeds from the offering of the Notes of approximately $194 million, after deducting
issuance costs. We used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, substantially all of which were
drawn to fund the cash portion of the purchase price paid for GEODynamics.
Concurrently with the Notes offering, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to January 2022, permit the issuance of the
Notes and provide for up to $350 million in borrowing capacity, subject to certain limitations.
On February 28, 2018, we acquired Falcon Flowback Services, LLC ("Falcon"), a full-service provider of flowback and well testing services for the
separation and recovery of fluids, solid debris and proppant used during hydraulic fracturing operations. Falcon provides additional scale and diversity to our
Completion Services operations in key shale plays in the United States. The acquisition price was $84.2 million in cash, funded with borrowings under our
Revolving Credit Facility.
During the third quarter of 2019, we made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of our Drilling Services business (adjusting from 34 rigs to 9 rigs)
due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling rigs in the U.S. land market. As a result of this decision, our Drilling Services business
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.7 million to decrease the carrying value of the business' fixed assets to their estimated fair value. Substantially
all of the decommissioned rigs were sold in the fourth quarter of 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Downhole Technologies segment recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million due to,
among other factors, a reduction in our near-term outlook for demand related to our short-cycle products and services in the U.S. shale play regions.
See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," Note 5, "Business Acquisitions" and Note 7, "Long-term Debt" to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion of these recent developments.
Our Industry
We principally operate in the oilfield services industry and provide a broad range of products and services to our customers through each of our business
segments. See Note 15, "Segments and Related Information," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for
financial information by segment along with a geographical breakout of revenues and long-lived assets for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and natural gas industry,
particularly our customers' willingness to invest capital in the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Our customers' capital
spending programs are generally based on their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices, economic growth, commodity demand and estimates
of resource production. As a result, demand for our products and services is largely sensitive to expectations with respect to future crude oil and natural gas
prices.
Our consolidated results of operations include contributions from the GEODynamics and Falcon acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2018. Our
reported results of operations reflect the impact of current industry trends and customer spending activities with investments weighted toward U.S. shale play
regions. However, in 2019, we began to see a general improvement in the level of planned investments in deepwater markets globally.
Our historical financial results reflect the cyclical nature of the oilfield services industry – witnessed by periods of increasing and decreasing activity in
each of our operating segments. Lower oil and natural gas prices since 2014 have caused a reduction in most of our customers' drilling, completion and other
production activities and related spending on our products and services. The reduction in demand from our customers has resulted in an oversupply of many
of the services and products we provide. Such oversupply has substantially reduced the prices we can charge our customers for many of our products and
services. Although oil prices have improved since the trough in 2016, these price improvements have not resulted in significant, sustained global
improvements in the demand for our products and services or the prices we are able to charge. Following material price declines in the fourth quarter of 2018,
Brent and West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil prices averaged $64 and $57 per barrel, respectively, in 2019 - down 10% and 13%, respectively,
compared to 2018 average prices. While the commodity price environment improved in 2019 relative to December of 2018, the crude oil price outlook and
associated volatility continues to have a moderating impact on our customers' operating results and capital spending plans, particularly those operating in the
U.S. shale play regions. The U.S.
-5-
rig count at December 31, 2019 totaled 805 rigs, which was down 26% since the most recent peak of 1,083 rigs in December of 2018. We expect further
customer-driven activity declines in early 2020 given crude oil price declines since the end of 2019 as our customers strive for financial discipline and
spending levels that are within their capital budgets and generated cash flow ranges. This may cause additional declines in the demand for, and prices of, our
products and services, which would adversely affect our future results of operations, cash flows and financial position. For additional information about
activities in each of our segments, see "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Our Well Site Services segment is primarily affected by drilling and completion activity in the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, and, to a
lesser extent, the rest of the world. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Well Site Services segment results, are sensitive to near-term
fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the call-out nature of our operations in the segment.
Similarly, demand for our Downhole Technologies segment products is predominantly tied to land-based oil and natural gas exploration and production
activity levels in the United States. The primary driver for this activity is the price of crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas. Activity levels have been,
and we expect will continue to be, highly correlated with hydrocarbon commodity prices. Over recent years, our industry experienced increased customer
spending in crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development in the U.S. shale plays utilizing enhanced horizontal drilling and completion techniques.
Demand for the products and services supplied by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment is generally driven by both the longer-term outlook for
commodity prices and changes in land-based drilling and completion activity. Over recent years, lower crude oil prices, coupled with a relatively uncertain
outlook around shorter-term and possibly longer-term commodity price improvements, caused exploration and production companies to reevaluate their
future capital expenditures in regards to deepwater projects since they are expensive to drill and complete, have long lead times to first production and may be
considered uneconomical relative to the risk involved. This resulted in reduced bidding and quoting activity, as well as reduced orders from customers, for our
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment in 2017 and 2018 relative to the peak in 2014. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for
deepwater projects improved in 2019 from 2018 levels and the potential for future awards appears to be improving.
See "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Macroeconomic Environment" for
further discussion on our industry.
Well Site Services
Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, our Well Site Services segment generated approximately 42%, 44% and 43%, respectively, of
our consolidated revenue. Our Well Site Services segment includes a broad range of equipment and services that are used to drill for, establish and maintain
the flow of oil and natural gas from a well throughout its life cycle. In this segment, our operations primarily include completion-focused equipment and
services and, to a much lesser extent, land drilling services in the United States. We use our fleet of completion tools and drilling rigs to serve our customers
at well sites and project development locations. Our equipment and services are used in both onshore and offshore applications throughout the drilling,
completion and production phases of a well's life cycle.
Well Site Services Market
Demand for our completion and drilling services is predominantly tied to the level of oil and natural gas exploration and production activity on land in
the United States. The primary driver for this activity is the price of crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas. Activity levels have been, and we expect will
continue to be, highly correlated with hydrocarbon commodity prices.
Completion Services
Our Completion Services business, which is primarily marketed through the brand names Oil States Energy Services, Falcon and Tempress, provides a
wide range of services used in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry, including:
• wellhead isolation services;
• flowback and frac valve services;
• wireline and coiled tubing support services;
• well testing, including separators and line heaters;
• downhole extended-reach technology;
• pipe recovery systems;
-6-
• thru-tubing milling and fishing services;
• hydraulic chokes and manifolds;
• blowout preventers; and
• gravel pack and sand control operations on wellbores.
Employees in our Completion Services business typically rig up and operate our equipment on the well site for our customers. Our Completion Services
equipment is primarily used during the completion and production stages of a well. As of December 31, 2019, we provided completion services through
approximately 35 distribution locations serving our customers in the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, and international markets. We typically
provide our services and equipment based on daily rates which vary depending on the type of equipment and the length of the job. Billings to our customers
typically separate charges for our equipment from charges for our field technicians. We own patents or have patents pending covering some of our technology,
particularly in our wellhead isolation equipment and downhole extended-reach technology product lines. Our customers in the Completion Services business
include major, independent and private oil and gas companies and other large oilfield service companies. No customer in Completion Services represented
more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue in any period presented. Competition in the Completion Services business is widespread and includes many
smaller companies, although we also compete with the larger oilfield service companies for certain equipment and services.
Drilling Services
Our Drilling Services business, which is marketed to oil and gas companies under the brand name Capstar Drilling, provides vertical land drilling
services in the United States for shallow to medium depth wells generally of less than 15,000 feet. We historically served two primary markets with our
Drilling Services business: the Permian Basin in West Texas and the U.S. Rocky Mountain area. During the third quarter of 2019, we made the strategic
decision to reduce the scope of our Drilling Services business (adjusting from 34 rigs to 9 rigs) due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical
drilling rigs in the U.S. land market. Since September 2019, the operations are primarily focused on serving operators in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region. See
Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional
discussion.
Downhole Technologies
Overview
Our Downhole Technologies segment is comprised of the GEODynamics business we acquired in January 2018. GEODynamics was founded in 2004 as
a researcher, developer and manufacturer of consumable engineered products used in completion applications. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, our Downhole Technologies segment contributed approximately 18% and 20%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. This segment provides oil
and gas perforation systems, downhole tools and services in support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. This segment
designs, manufactures and markets its consumable engineered products to oilfield service as well as exploration and production companies.
Downhole Technologies Market
Similar to our Well Site Services segment, demand for our Downhole Technologies segment products is predominantly tied to the level of oil and natural
gas exploration and production activity on land in the United States. The primary driver for this activity is the price of crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural
gas. Activity levels have been, and we expect will continue to be, highly correlated with hydrocarbon commodity prices. Demand for this segment's products
is also influenced by continued trends toward longer lateral lengths, increased frac stages and more perforation clusters to target increased unconventional
well productivity, which requires ongoing technological and product developments.
Products
Product and service offerings for this segment include advanced perforation technology achieved through patented and proprietary systems combined
with advanced modeling and analysis tools. This expertise has led to the optimization of perforation hole size, depth, and quality of tunnels, which are key
factors for maximizing the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. Additional offerings include proprietary toe valve and frac plug products, which are focused
on zonal isolation for hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells, and a broad range of consumable products, such as setting tools and bridge plugs, that are used
in completion, intervention and decommissioning applications.
-7-
Customers and Competitors
Our customers in the Downhole Technologies segment include other oilfield services companies as well as major, independent and private oil and gas
companies. No customer in this segment represented more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue in any period presented. Competition in the Downhole
Technologies business is widespread and includes many smaller companies, although we also compete with the larger oilfield service companies for certain
products and services.
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment generated approximately 40%, 36% and 57%,
respectively, of our consolidated revenue. Through this segment, we provide technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and
natural gas production systems and facilities, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. Our
products and services used primarily in deepwater producing regions include our FlexJoint® technology, advanced connector systems, high-pressure riser
systems, compact valves, deepwater mooring systems, cranes, subsea pipeline products, specialty welding, fabrication, cladding and machining services,
offshore installation services and inspection and repair services. In addition, we design, manufacture and market numerous other products and services used in
both land and offshore drilling and completion activities and by non-oil and gas customers, including consumable downhole elastomer products used in
onshore completion activities, valves and sound and vibration dampening products used in military applications. We have facilities that support our
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment in Arlington, Houston and Lampasas, Texas; Houma, Louisiana; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma; the United
Kingdom; Brazil; Singapore; Spain; Thailand; Vietnam; China; the United Arab Emirates; and India.
Offshore/Manufactured Products Market
The market for products and services offered by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment centers primarily on the development of infrastructure for
offshore production facilities and their subsequent operations, exploration and drilling activities, and to a lesser extent, new rig and vessel construction,
refurbishments or upgrades. Demand for oil and natural gas, and the related drilling and production in offshore areas throughout the world, particularly in
deeper water, drive spending for these activities. Sales of our shorter-cycle products to land-based drilling and completion markets are driven by the level and
complexity of drilling, completion and workover activity, particularly in North America.
Products and Services
In operation for more than 75 years, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides a broad range of products and services for use in offshore
development and drilling activities. This segment also provides products for onshore oil and natural gas, defense and general industries. Our
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment is dependent in part on the industry's continuing innovation and creative applications of existing technologies. We
own various patents covering some of our technology, particularly in our connector and valve product lines.
Offshore Development and Drilling Activities. We design, manufacture, inspect, assemble, repair, test and market equipment for mooring, pipeline,
production and drilling risers, and subsea applications along with equipment for offshore vessel and rig construction. Our products are components of
equipment used for the drilling and production of oil and natural gas wells on offshore fixed platforms and mobile production units, including floating
platforms, such as tension leg platforms, floating production, storage and offloading ("FPSO") vessels, Spars, and other marine vessels and offshore rigs. Our
products and services include:
• flexible bearings and advanced connection systems;
• casing and conductor connections and joints;
• subsea pipeline products;
• compact ball valves, manifold system components and diverter valves;
• marine winches, mooring systems, cranes and other heavy-lift rig equipment;
• production, workover, completion and drilling riser systems and their related repair services;
• blowout preventer ("BOP") stack assembly, integration, testing and repair services;
• consumable downhole products; and
• other products and services, including welding, cladding and other metallurgical technologies.

Flexible Bearings and Advanced Connection Systems. We are the key supplier of flexible bearings, or FlexJoint® connectors, to the offshore oil and
natural gas industry as well as weld-on connectors and fittings that join lengths of large diameter conductors or casing used in offshore drilling and production
operations. A FlexJoint® is a flexible bearing that allows for rotational movement of a riser or tension leg platform tether while under high tension and/or
pressure. When positioned at the top, bottom, or, in some cases, middle of a deepwater riser, it reduces the stress and loads on the riser while compensating
for the pitch and rotational forces on the riser as the production facility or drilling rig moves with ocean forces. FlexJoint® connectors are used on drilling,
production and export risers and are used increasingly as offshore production moves to deeper water.
Drilling riser systems provide the vertical conduit between the floating drilling vessel and the subsea wellhead. Through the drilling riser, the drill string
is guided into the well and drilling fluids are returned to the surface. Production riser systems provide the vertical conduit for the hydrocarbons from the
subsea wellhead to the floating production facility. Oil and natural gas flows to the surface for processing through the production riser. Export risers provide
the vertical conduit from the floating production facility to the subsea export pipelines. Our FlexJoint® connectors are a critical element in the construction
and operation of production and export risers on floating production systems in deepwater.
Floating production systems, including tension leg platforms, FPSO facilities and Spars (defined below), are a significant means of producing oil and
natural gas, particularly in deepwater environments. We provide many important products for the construction of these facilities. A tension leg platform
("TLP") is a floating platform that is moored by vertical pipes, or tethers, attached to both the platform and the sea floor. Our FlexJoint® tether bearings are
used at the top and bottom connections of each of the tethers, and our Merlin™ connectors are used to efficiently assemble the tether joints during offshore
installation. An FPSO is a floating vessel, typically ship shaped, used to produce and process oil and natural gas from subsea wells. A Spar is a floating
vertical cylindrical structure which is approximately six to seven times longer than its diameter and is anchored in place. Our FlexJoint® connectors are used
to attach the various production, injection, import or export risers to all of these floating production systems.
Casing and Conductor Connections and Joints. Our advanced connection systems provide connectors used in various drilling and production
applications offshore. These connectors are welded onto pipe to provide more efficient joint to joint connections with enhanced tensile and burst capabilities
that exceed those of connections machined onto plain-end-pipe. Our connectors are reusable and pliable and, depending on the application, are equipped with
metal-to-metal seals. We offer a suite of connectors offering differing specifications depending on the application. Our Merlin™ connectors are our premier
connectors combining superior static strength and fatigue life with fast, non-rotational make-up and a slim profile. Merlin™ connectors have been used in
sizes up to 60 inches (outside diameter) for applications including open-hole and tie-back casing, offshore conductor casing, pipeline risers and TLP tendons
which moor the TLP to the sea floor.
Subsea Pipeline Products. We design and manufacture a variety of equipment used in the construction, maintenance, expansion and repair of offshore oil
and natural gas pipelines. New construction equipment includes:
• pipeline end manifolds and pipeline end terminals;
• deep and shallow water pipeline connectors;
• midline tie-in sleds;
• forged steel Y-shaped connectors for joining two pipelines into one;
• pressure-balanced safety joints for protecting pipelines and related equipment from anchor snags or a shifting sea-bottom;
• electrical isolation joints; and
• hot-tap clamps that allow new pipelines to be joined into existing lines without interrupting the flow of petroleum products.
We provide diverless connection systems for subsea flowlines and pipelines. Our HydroTech® collet connectors provide a high-integrity, proprietary
metal-to-metal sealing system for the final hook-up of deep offshore pipelines and production systems. They also are used in diverless pipeline repair systems
and future pipeline tie-in systems. Our lateral tie-in sled, which is installed with the original pipeline, allows a subsea tie-in to be made quickly and efficiently
using proven HydroTech® connectors without costly offshore equipment mobilization and without shutting off product flow.
We provide pipeline repair hardware, including deepwater applications beyond the depth of diver intervention. Our products include:
• repair clamps used to seal leaks and restore the structural integrity of a pipeline;
• mechanical connectors used in repairing subsea pipelines without having to weld;
• misalignment and swivel ring flanges; and
• pipe recovery tools for recovering dropped or damaged pipelines.

Compact Ball Valves, Manifold System Components and Diverter Valves. Our Piper Valve division designs and manufactures compact high-pressure
valves and manifold system components for all environments of the oil and gas industry including onshore, offshore, drilling and subsea applications. Our
valve and manifold bores are designed to closely match the inside diameter of the required pipe schedule for the system working pressure. The result is
elimination of piping transition areas that minimize erosion and system friction pressure loss, resulting in a more efficient flow path. Our floating ball valve
design with its large ball/seat interface has over 30 years of field service experience in upstream unprocessed produced liquids and gasses, assuring reliable
service. Oil States Piper Valve Optimum Flow Technology is our way of helping end users maximize space, minimize weight and increase production.
Marine Winches, Mooring Systems, Cranes and other Heavy-Lift Rig Equipment. We design, engineer and manufacture marine winches, mooring
systems, cranes and certain rig equipment. Our Skagit® winches are engineered for mooring floating and semi-submersible drilling rigs as well as positioning
pipelay and derrick barges, anchor handling boats and jack-ups. Our Nautilus® marine cranes are used on production platforms throughout the world. We also
design and fabricate rig equipment such as automatic pipe racking, blowout preventer handling equipment, as well as handling equipment used in the
installation of offshore wind turbine platforms. Our engineering teams, manufacturing capability and service technicians, who install and service our products,
provide our customers with a broad range of equipment and services to support their operations. Aftermarket service and support of our installed base of
equipment to our customers is also an important source of revenue to us.
Production, Workover, Completion and Drilling Riser Systems and their related repair services. Utilizing the expertise of our welding technology group,
we have extended the boundaries of our Merlin™ connector technology with the design and manufacture of multiple riser systems. The unique Merlin™
connection has proven to be a robust solution for even the most demanding high-pressure (up to 20,000 psi) riser systems used in high-fatigue, deepwater
applications. Our riser systems are designed to meet a range of static and fatigue stresses on par with those of our Tension Leg Element connectors. The
connector can be welded or machined directly onto upset riser pipe and provide sufficient material to perform "re-cuts" after extended service. We believe that
our marine riser offers superior tension capabilities together with one of the fastest run times in the industry. Auxiliary riser system components and running
tools can be provided along with full-service inspection and repair of these riser systems.
BOP Stack Assembly, Integration, Testing and Repair Services. While not typically a manufacturer of BOP components, we design and fabricate lifting
and protection frames for BOP stacks and offer the complete system integration of BOP stacks and subsea production trees. We can provide complete turnkey
and design fabrication services. We also design and manufacture a variety of custom subsea equipment, such as riser flotation tank systems, guide bases,
running tools and manifolds. In addition, we also offer blowout preventer and drilling riser testing and repair services.
Consumable Downhole Products. North American shale play development has expanded the need for more advanced completion tools. In order to reduce
well completion costs, minimizing the time to drill out tools is very important. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment has leveraged its knowledge of
molded thermoset composites and elastomers to help meet this demand. For example, we have had success in developing and producing composite drillable
zonal isolation tools (i.e., bridge/frac plugs) utilizing design and production techniques that reduce cost while still delivering high-quality performance. Time
to drill out has been reduced significantly in comparison to other filament wound products in the market. Our products also include:
• Swab Cups - used primarily in well servicing work;
• Rod Guides/Centralizers - used in both drilling and production for pipe protection;
• Gate Valve and Butterfly Valve Seats – we service many markets in the valve industry including well completion, refining, and distribution;
• Casing and Cementing Products – we are a custom manufacturer of cementing plugs, wellbore wipers, valve assemblies, combination plugs, specialty
seals and gaskets; and
• Service Tools – our products include frac balls, packer elements, zonal isolation tools, as well as many custom molded products used in the well
servicing industry.
Other Products & Services. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment also produces a variety of products for use in industrial, military and other
applications outside the oil and gas industry. For example, we provide:
• sound and vibration isolation equipment for marine vessels;
• metal-elastomeric FlexJoint® bearings used in a variety of naval and marine applications;
• products used in the construction and maintenance of offshore wind projects; and
• drum-clutches and brakes for heavy-duty power transmission in the mining, paper, logging and marine industries.

Backlog
Offshore/Manufactured Products' backlog consists of firm customer purchase orders for which contractual commitments exist and delivery is scheduled.
Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment was $280 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $179 million at December 31, 2018 and
$168 million at December 31, 2017. We expect approximately 75% of our backlog at December 31, 2019 to be recognized as revenue during 2020. In some
instances, these purchase orders are cancelable by the customer, subject to the payment of termination fees and/or the reimbursement of our costs incurred.
While backlog cancellations have historically been insignificant, we incurred cancellations totaling $5.0 million during 2019 and $6.5 million during 2018,
which we believe is attributable to lower commodity prices, the resultant decrease in capital spending by our customers and, in some cases, the financial
condition of our customers. Additional cancellations may occur in the future, which would reduce our backlog. Our backlog is an important indicator of
future Offshore/Manufactured Products' shipments and major project revenues; however, backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of our actual
operating results for any future period. We believe that the offshore construction and development business is characterized by lengthy projects and a "long
lead-time" order cycle. The change in backlog levels from one period to the next does not necessarily evidence a long-term trend.
Regions of Operations
Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides products and services to customers in the major offshore crude oil and natural gas producing
regions of the world, including the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, West Africa, the North Sea, Azerbaijan, Russia, India, Southeast Asia, China, the United
Arab Emirates and Australia. In addition, we provide shorter-cycle products to customers in the land-based drilling and completion markets in the United
States and, to a lesser extent, outside the United States.
Customers and Competitors
We market our products and services to a broad customer base, including direct end-users, engineering and design companies, prime contractors, and at
times, our competitors through outsourcing arrangements. While no customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues in 2019, Halliburton
Company individually accounted for 10% and 16% of our total consolidated revenues in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our
main competitors in this segment include Cameron (a division of Schlumberger Limited), Dril-Quip, Inc., National Oilwell Varco, Inc., Baker Hughes
Company, Hutchinson Group (a subsidiary of Total S.A.), Sparrows Offshore Group LTD, Oceaneering International, Inc. and Raina Engineers.
Seasonality of Operations
Our operations are directly affected by seasonal weather differences in certain areas in which we operate, most notably in the Rocky Mountain region,
and the Gulf of Mexico. Severe winter weather conditions in the Rocky Mountain region can restrict access to work areas for our Well Site Services and
Downhole Technologies segment operations. Our operations in the Gulf of Mexico are also affected by weather patterns. Seasonal weather trends in the Gulf
Coast region generally result in higher drilling activity in the spring, summer and fall months with the lowest levels of activity in the winter months. Summer
and fall drilling activity can be interrupted by hurricanes and other storms prevalent in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast. As a result of these
seasonal differences, full-year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019, the Company employed 3,428 full-time employees on a consolidated basis, 42% of whom are in our Well Site Services
segment, 14% of whom are in our Downhole Technologies segment, 41% of whom are in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, and 2% of whom are
in our corporate headquarters. During 2019, company-wide headcount was reduced 13% from a total of 3,926 full-time employees as of December 31, 2018.
We were party to collective bargaining agreements covering fewer than 100 employees located in the United Kingdom and Argentina as of December 31,
2019. We believe we have good labor relations with our employees.

Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters
Our business operations are subject to numerous environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations that may be imposed
domestically at the federal, regional, state, tribal and local levels or by foreign governments. These laws and regulations impose stringent environmental
and/or worker safety regulation. Numerous governmental entities, including domestically the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ("ATF"), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") and analogous state
agencies, have the power to enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits issued under them, often requiring difficult and costly
actions. These laws and regulations may, among other things, (i) require the acquisition of permits to conduct drilling and other regulated activities;
(ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment or injected into subsurface formations in
connection with oil and natural gas drilling and production activities and wellsite support services; (iii) limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands
lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; (iv) impose stringent regulations on the licensing or storage and use of explosives; (v) require
remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations, such as requirements to close pits and plug abandoned wells or decommission
offshore facilities; (vi) impose specific safety and health criteria addressing worker protection; and (vii) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting
from drilling operations and well site support services.
The more significant of these existing environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations include the following U.S. legal standards,
as amended from time to time:
• the Clean Air Act ("CAA"), which restricts the emission of air pollutants from many sources and imposes various pre-construction, operational,
monitoring and reporting requirements, and that the EPA has relied upon as authority for adopting climate change regulatory initiatives relating to
greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions;
• the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, which regulates discharges of pollutants from facilities to state and
federal waters and establishes the extent to which waterways are subject to federal jurisdiction and rulemaking as protected waters of the United States;
• the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which subjects owners and operators of vessels, onshore facilities, and pipelines, as well as lessees or permittees of areas
in which offshore facilities are located, to liability for removal costs and damages arising from an oil spill in waters of the United States;
• U.S. Department of the Interior regulations, which govern oil and natural gas operations on federal lands and waters and impose obligations for
establishing financial assurances for decommissioning activities, liabilities for pollution cleanup costs resulting from operations, and potential
liabilities for pollution damages;
• the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, which imposes liability on generators, transporters, and
arrangers of hazardous substances at sites where hazardous substance releases have occurred or are threatening to occur;
• the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), which governs the generation, treatment, storage, transport, and disposal of solid wastes,
including oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes and hazardous wastes;
• the Safe Drinking Water Act ("SDWA"), which ensures the quality of the nation's public drinking water through adoption of drinking water standards
and controlling the injection of waste fluids into below-ground formations that may adversely affect drinking water sources;
• the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, which requires facilities to implement a safety hazard communication program and
disseminate information to employees, local emergency planning committees, and response departments on toxic chemical uses and inventories;
• the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which establishes workplace standards for the protection of the health and safety of employees, including the
implementation of hazard communications programs designed to inform employees about hazardous substances in the workplace, potential harmful
effects of these substances, and appropriate control measures;
• the Endangered Species Act, which restricts activities that may affect federally identified endangered and threatened species or their habitats through
the implementation of operating restrictions or a temporary, seasonal, or permanent ban in affected areas;
• the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, to evaluate major agency actions
having the potential to impact the environment and that may require the preparation of environmental assessments and more detailed environmental
impact statements that may be made available for public review and comment;
-12-
• the Department of Transportation regulations, which relate to advancing the safe transportation of energy and hazardous materials, including
explosives, and emergency response preparedness; and
• regulations adopted by the ATF, a law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Justice, that impose stringent licensing conditions with
respect to the acquisition, storage and use of explosives for well site support services in the oil and natural gas sector.
These federal environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations generally restrict the level of substances generated as a result of our
operations that may be emitted to ambient air, discharged to surface water, and disposed or otherwise released to surface and below-ground soils and
groundwater. Additionally, there exist regional, state, tribal and local jurisdictions in the United States where we operate that also have, are developing or
considering developing, similar environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations governing many of these same types of activities.
Outside of the United States, there are countries and provincial, regional, tribal or local jurisdictions therein where we are conducting business that also have,
or may be developing, regulatory initiatives or analogous controls that regulate our environmental-related activities. While the legal requirements imposed in
foreign countries or jurisdictions therein may be similar in form to U.S. laws and regulations, in some cases, the actual implementation of these requirements
may impose additional, or more stringent, conditions or controls that can significantly restrict, delay or cancel the permitting, development or expansion of a
project or significantly increase the cost of doing business. Any failure by us to comply with these laws, regulations and regulatory initiatives or controls may
result in the assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil, and criminal penalties; the imposition of investigatory, remedial, and corrective action
obligations or the incurrence of capital expenditures; the occurrence of restrictions, delays or cancellations in the permitting, development or expansion of
projects; and the issuance of injunctions restricting or prohibiting some or all of our activities in a particular area. Certain environmental laws also provide for
citizen suits, which allow environmental organizations to act in place of the government and sue operators for alleged violations of environmental laws. We
have incurred and will continue to incur operating and capital expenditures, some of which may be material, to comply with environmental and occupational
health and safety laws and regulations. Historically, our environmental and worker safety compliance costs have not had a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future or that such future compliance will not have a
material adverse effect on our business and operational results.
We own, lease or operate numerous properties that have been used for crude oil and natural gas wellsite support services for many years. We also have
acquired certain properties supportive of oil and natural gas activities from third parties whose actions with respect to the management and disposal or release
of hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes at or from such properties were not under our control prior to acquiring them. Under environmental laws and
regulations, we could incur strict joint and several liability for remediating hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes disposed of or released by prior
owners or operators. We also could incur costs related to the clean-up of third-party sites to which we sent regulated substances for disposal or to which we
sent equipment for cleaning, and for damages to natural resources or other claims related to releases of regulated substances at or from such third-party sites.
Over time, both in the United States and in foreign countries, the trend in environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations is to
typically place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may adversely affect the environment or expose workers to injury. Consequently, any new or
amended legal requirement that may arise in the future to address potential environmental, health or safety-related concerns including, for example, as a result
of oil and natural gas development in close proximity to occupied structures or environmentally-sensitive lands or recreational areas, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. While we maintain insurance coverage for certain environmental and occupational
health and safety risks that we believe is consistent with insurance coverage held by other similarly situated industry participants, our insurance does not
cover any penalties or fines that may be issued by a government authority. In addition, it is possible that other developments, such as stricter and more
comprehensive environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, claims for damages to property or persons or disruption of our
customers' operations resulting from our actions or omissions, and imposition of penalties due to our operations could have a material adverse effect on us and
our results of operations. See Risk Factors under Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10‑K for further discussion on environmental laws and regulations, including
with respect to hydraulic fracturing; ozone standards, induced seismicity regulatory developments; climate change, including methane or other GHG
emissions; storage and use of explosives; offshore drilling and related regulatory developments, including with respect to decommissioning obligations; and
other risks or regulations relating to environmental protection.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or
that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Demand for the majority of our products and services is substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by companies in the oil and natural gas
industry. Lower oil and natural gas prices since 2014 have significantly reduced the demand for our products and services and the prices we are able to
charge. This has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Demand for most of our products and services depends substantially on the level of expenditures by companies in the oil and natural gas industry. Lower
oil and natural gas prices since 2014 have caused a reduction in most of our customers' drilling, completion and other production activities and related
spending on our products and services. The reduction in demand from our customers has resulted in an oversupply of many of the services and products we
provide, and such oversupply has substantially reduced the prices we can charge our customers for many of our products and services. Although oil prices
improved since the trough in 2016, these price improvements have not resulted in significant global improvements in the demand for our products and
services or the prices we are able to charge. If oil prices remain persistently low or decline further, our customers' activity levels and spending, along with the
prices we charge, could worsen. In addition, a continuation or worsening of these conditions may result in a material adverse impact on certain of our
customers' liquidity and financial position, resulting in further spending reductions, delays in the collection of amounts owing to us and similar impacts.
These conditions have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and it is difficult to
predict how long the current depressed commodity price environment will continue.
While conditions in our industry improved in 2018, particularly in the shale resource plays in the United States, crude oil prices again declined
significantly beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018. Given the historical volatility of crude oil prices, there remains a degree of risk that prices could remain
highly volatile due to increases in global inventory levels, increasing domestic or international crude oil production, trade tensions with China, sanctions on
Iranian production and tensions with Iran, civil unrest in Libya and Venezuela, increasing price differentials between markets, slowing growth rates in China
and other global regions, use of alternative fuels, improved vehicle fuel efficiency, a more sustained movement to electric vehicles and/or the potential for
ongoing supply/demand imbalances. If oil prices remain low or decline further, we could encounter difficulties such as an inability to access needed capital on
attractive terms or at all, the incurrence of asset impairment charges, the inability to meet financial ratios contained in our debt agreements, the need to reduce
our capital spending and other similar impacts. For example, our reduced EBITDA during recent periods resulted in our inability to access the full borrowing
capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the maximum leverage ratio covenant. As more fully disclosed in Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters," we discuss
our expectations regarding liquidity and covenant compliance for 2020.
Many factors affect the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas and, therefore, influence product prices, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the level of drilling and completion activity;
the level of oil and natural gas production;
the levels of oil and natural gas inventories;
depletion rates;
worldwide demand for oil and natural gas;
the expected cost of finding, developing and producing new reserves;
delays in major offshore and onshore oil and natural gas field permitting or development timetables;
the availability of attractive offshore and onshore oil and natural gas field prospects that may be affected by governmental actions or environmental
activists that may restrict development;
the availability of transportation infrastructure for oil and natural gas, refining capacity and shifts in end-customer preferences toward fuel efficiency
and the use of natural gas;
public health crises, such as the coronavirus outbreak at the beginning of 2020, which could impact the global economy;
global weather conditions and natural disasters;
worldwide economic activity including growth in developing countries;
-14-
•
•
•
•
•
•
national government political requirements, including the ability and willingness of OPEC to set and maintain production levels and prices for oil
and government policies which could nationalize or expropriate oil and natural gas exploration, production, refining or transportation assets;
shareholder activism or activities by non-governmental organizations to limit or cease certain sources of funding for the energy sector or restrict the
exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas;
the impact of armed hostilities involving one or more oil producing nations;
rapid technological change and the timing and extent of development of energy sources, including liquefied natural gas or alternative fuels;
environmental and other governmental laws and regulations; and
domestic and foreign tax policies, including those regarding tariffs and duties.
In response to lower oil prices, many of our customers have reduced or delayed their capital spending, which reduced the demand for our products and
services and exerted downward pressure on the prices paid for our products and services. Although some of our customers increased their 2019 capital
expenditure budgets, these customers are still spending significantly less than their pre-2015 levels. Additionally, if oil prices remain at current levels or
decline further, these customers may further reduce their spending levels. We expect that we will continue to encounter weakness in the demand for, and
prices of, our products and services until commodity prices stabilize at higher levels and our customers' capital spending increases. Any prolonged reduction
in the overall level of exploration and production activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and natural gas prices or otherwise, could materially
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in many ways including by negatively affecting:
•
•
•
our equipment utilization, revenues, cash flows and profitability;
our ability to obtain additional capital to finance our business and the cost of that capital; and
our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel.
Given the cyclical nature of our business, a severe prolonged downturn could negatively affect the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets.
As of December 31, 2019, goodwill and other intangible assets represented 28% and 13%, respectively, of our total assets. We record goodwill when the
consideration we pay in acquiring a business exceeds the fair market value of the tangible and separately measurable intangible net assets of that business. We
are required to at least annually review the goodwill and other intangible assets of our applicable reporting units (Completion Services, Downhole
Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products) for impairment in value and to recognize a non-cash charge against earnings causing a corresponding
decrease in stockholders' equity if circumstances, some of which are beyond our control, indicate that the carrying amounts will not be recoverable. In the
fourth quarter of 2019, for example, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $165 million in our Downhole Technologies reporting unit due to,
among other factors, a reduction in our near-term outlook for demand related to our short-cycle products and services in the U.S. shale play regions. It is
possible that we could recognize goodwill or other intangible assets impairment losses in the future if, among other factors:
•
•
•
•
•
•
global economic and industry conditions deteriorate;
the outlook for future profits and cash flow for any of our reporting units deteriorate further as the result of many possible factors, including, but not
limited to, increased or unanticipated competition, lack of technological development, further reductions in customer capital spending plans, loss
of key personnel, adverse legal or regulatory judgment(s), future operating losses at a reporting unit, downward forecast revisions, or restructuring
plans;
domestic and/or foreign income tax rates increase, or regulations change;
costs of equity or debt capital increase;
valuations for comparable public companies or comparable acquisition valuations deteriorate; or
our stock price experiences a sustained decline.
Laws, regulations and other regulatory initiatives regarding hydraulic fracturing could increase our costs of doing business and result in additional
operating restrictions, delays or cancellations in the completion of oil and natural gas wells, or possible bans on the performance of hydraulic fracturing
that may reduce demand for our products and services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Although we do not directly engage in hydraulic fracturing, a material portion of our Completion Services, Downhole Technologies and
Offshore/Manufactured Products operations support many of our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers in such activities. Hydraulic
fracturing is an important and commonly used process for the completion of oil and natural
-15-
gas wells in targeted subsurface formations with low permeability, such as shale formations, and involves the pressurized injection of water, sand or other
proppants and chemical additives into rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production.
Hydraulic fracturing onshore in the United States is typically regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions and similar agencies. However, the
practice continues to attract considerable public, scientific and governmental attention in certain parts of the country, resulting in increased scrutiny and
regulation, including by federal agencies.
For example, in 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources, concluding that
"water cycle" activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources under certain circumstances. Additionally, Congress has
from time to time considered legislation to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing in the United States and to require disclosure of the
chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. Due primarily to the threat of climate change arising from GHG emissions, certain candidates seeking the
office of President of the United States in 2020 have pledged to take actions banning hydraulic fracturing of oil and natural gas.
At the state level, some states have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, legal requirements that could impose new or more stringent
permitting, public disclosure or well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities, including states where we or our customers operate, in
addition to assessing more taxes, fees or royalties on production, or otherwise limiting the use of the technique. For example, in April 2019, the Governor of
Colorado signed Senate Bill 19-181 into law, which legislation, among other things, revises the mission of the state oil and gas agency from fostering energy
development in the state to instead focusing on regulating the oil and natural gas industry, in a manner that is protective of public health and safety and the
environment, as well as authorizing cities and counties to regulate oil and natural gas operations within their jurisdiction as they do other developments.
Among other things, the state oil and gas agency will consider enhanced safety and environmental protections during well development operations, including
drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities. States could also elect to place prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing, following the approach taken by the States of
Vermont, Maryland and New York. Local governments may seek to adopt ordinances within their jurisdictions regulating the time, place or manner of drilling
activities in general or hydraulic fracturing activities in particular.
In the event that new or more stringent federal, state or local legal restrictions relating to use of the hydraulic fracturing process in the United States are
adopted in areas where our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers operate, those customers could incur potentially significant added costs
to comply with requirements relating to permitting, construction, financial assurance, monitoring, recordkeeping, and/or plugging and abandonment, as well
as could experience delays or cancellations in the pursuit of production or development activities, any of which could reduce demand for the products and
services of each of our business segments and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In countries outside of the United States, including provincial, regional, tribal or local jurisdictions therein where we conduct operations, there may exist
similar governmental restrictions or controls on our customers' hydraulic fracturing activities, which, if such restrictions or controls exist or are adopted in the
future, our customers may incur significant costs to comply with such requirements or may experience delays or cancellations in the permitting or pursuit of
their operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Explosive incidents arising out of dangerous materials used in our business could disrupt operations and result in bodily injuries and property damages,
which occurrences could have a material adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial conditions.
Our Downhole Technologies business operations include the licensing, storage and handling of explosive materials. Despite our use of specialized
facilities to store and handle dangerous materials and our performance of employee training programs, the storage and handling of explosive materials could
result in explosive incidents that temporarily shut down or otherwise disrupt our or our customers' operations or could cause restrictions, delays or
cancellations in the delivery of our services. It is possible that such incidents could result in death or significant injuries to employees and other persons.
Material property damage to us, our customers and third parties arising from an explosion or resulting fire could also occur. Any explosion could expose us to
adverse publicity and liability for damages or cause production restrictions, delays or cancellations, any of which occurrences could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable requirements or the occurrence of an explosive
incident may also result in the loss of our license to store and handle explosives, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial conditions.

Legislative and regulatory initiatives related to induced seismicity could result in operating restrictions or delays in the drilling and completion of oil and
natural gas wells that may reduce demand for our products and services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
Our oil and natural gas producing customers dispose of flowback water or certain other oilfield fluids gathered from oil and natural gas producing
operations in accordance with permits issued by government authorities overseeing such disposal activities. In recent years, wells in the United States used for
the disposal by injection of flowback water or certain other oilfield fluids below ground into non-producing formations have been associated with an
increased number of seismic events. When seismic events are caused by human activity, such events are called induced seismicity and developing research
suggests that the link between seismic events and wastewater disposal may vary by region and local geology. In 2016, the U.S. geological survey identified
six states with the most significant hazards from induced seismicity: Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arkansas. In response to
concerns regarding induced seismicity, regulators in some states have imposed, or are considering imposing, additional requirements in the permitting of
produced water disposal wells or otherwise to assess any relationship between seismicity and the use of such wells. For example, in recent years, Oklahoma
and Texas have issued rules for wastewater disposal wells that imposed certain permitting and operating restrictions and reporting requirements on disposal
wells in proximity to faults. States such as Oklahoma have also issued orders, from time to time, for certain wells where seismic incidents have occurred to
restrict or suspend disposal well operations. Another consequence of seismic events may be lawsuits alleging that disposal well operations have caused
damage to neighboring properties or otherwise violated state and federal rules regulating waste disposal. In countries outside of the United States where we
conduct operations, there may exist similar governmental restrictions or controls over well disposal activities in an effort to limit the occurrence of induced
seismicity. Increased regulation and public scrutiny of induced seismicity could lead to greater opposition, including litigation, to oil and natural gas activities
utilizing injection wells for waste disposal. As a result, our customers may have to limit disposal well volumes, disposal rates or locations, or require those
customers or third party disposal well operators that are used to dispose of customers' wastewater to shut down disposal wells, which developments could
adversely affect our customers' business and result in a corresponding decrease in the need for our products and services, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We do business in international jurisdictions which exposes us to unique risks.
A portion of our revenue and net assets are attributable to operations in countries outside the United States. Risks associated with our international
operations include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
expropriation, confiscation or nationalization of assets;
renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts;
foreign capital controls or similar monetary or exchange limitations;
foreign currency fluctuations;
foreign taxation;
tariffs and duties on imported and exported goods;
the inability to repatriate earnings or capital in a tax efficient manner;
changing political conditions;
economic or trade sanctions;
changing foreign and domestic monetary and trade policies;
regulatory restrictions or controls more stringently applied or enforced;
changes in trade activity;
• military or social situations, such as a widespread outbreak of an illness such as the coronavirus or other public health issues, in foreign areas where
we do business, and the possibilities of war, other armed conflict or terrorist attacks; and
•
regional economic downturns.
Additionally, in some jurisdictions we are subject to foreign governmental regulations favoring or requiring the awarding of contracts to local contractors,
or requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These regulations may adversely affect our ability
to compete in such jurisdictions.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom Bribery Act
2010, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining
business. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental
-17-
corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices and impact
our business. Any failure to comply with the FCPA or other anti-bribery legislation could subject us to civil and criminal penalties or other sanctions, which
could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We could also face fines, sanctions, and other penalties
from authorities in the relevant foreign jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in, or curtailment of, business operations in those jurisdictions
and the seizure of assets. Additionally, we may have competitors who are not subject to the same ethics-related laws and regulations which provides them
with a competitive advantage over us by securing business awards, licenses, or other preferential treatment, in those jurisdictions using methods that certain
ethics-related laws and regulations prohibit us from using.
The regulatory regimes in some foreign countries may be substantially different than those in the United States, and may be unfamiliar to U.S. investors.
Violations of foreign laws could result in monetary and criminal penalties against us or our subsidiaries and could damage our reputation and, therefore, our
ability to do business.
The ultimate impact of recent changes to tariffs and duties imposed by the United States and other countries is uncertain. We use a variety of
domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. In 2018, the United States
imposed tariffs on a variety of imported products, including steel and aluminum. In response to the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, the European Union
and several other countries, including Canada and China, have threatened and/or imposed retaliatory tariffs. The effect of these new tariffs and the application
and interpretation of existing trade agreements and customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations continues to evolve, and we continue to
monitor these matters. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products, or if the prices we have to pay for these products
increase further as a result of customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations or otherwise, and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases
on to our customers, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with respect to potential costs in the
drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause our customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred, would adversely affect our
financial position and results of operations. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
Additional domestic and international deepwater drilling laws, regulations and other restrictions, any delays in the processing and approval of drilling
permits and exploration, development, oil spill-response and decommissioning plans and any other offshore-related developments may reduce demand for
our services and products and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
A significant portion of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides products and services for oil and natural gas exploration and production
customers operating offshore in the deepwaters of the United States' outer continental shelf ("OCS") and in other countries. In the United States, the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM") and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ("BSEE"), each an agency of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, have, over time, imposed more stringent permitting procedures and regulatory safety and performance requirements with respect to new wells to be
drilled in federal waters. Our customers' compliance with these more stringent regulatory requirements, as well as with existing environmental and oil spill
regulations, which compliance may be exacerbated by any uncertainties or inconsistencies in decisions and rulings by governmental agencies, delays in the
processing and approval of drilling permits or exploration, development, oil spill-response and decommissioning plans and possible additional regulatory
initiatives, could result in those customers incurring difficult and more costly actions and adversely affect, delay or curtail new drilling and ongoing
development efforts.
Additionally, the trend in the United States over the past decade has been for governmental agencies to continue to evaluate and, as necessary, develop
and implement new, more restrictive requirements that could result in additional costs, delays, restrictions or obligations on offshore oil and natural gas
exploration and production operations, although in recent years under the Trump Administration, there have been actions seeking to mitigate or delay certain
of those more rigorous standards. For example, in 2016, the BSEE under the Obama Administration published a final rule on well control that, among other
things, imposed rigorous standards relating to the design, operation and maintenance of blowout preventers, real-time monitoring of deepwater and high
temperature, high pressure drilling activities, and enhanced reporting requirements. Pursuant to certain executive orders issued by President Trump in 2017
("Executive Orders"), however, the BSEE initiated a review of the well control rule and other offshore rules and initiatives to determine whether they are
consistent with the stated policy of encouraging energy exploration and production, while ensuring that any such activity is safe and environmentally
responsible. One consequence of this review is that in May 2019, the BSEE published final revisions to the existing April 2016 rule on well control that,
among other things, eliminated the requirement for a BSEE-approved verification organization for third party-parties providing certifications of certain
critical well control functions and the removal or modification of certain other prescriptive requirements. Additional consequences of this BSEE review were
(i) the September 2018 BSEE publication of final revisions to its Production Safety Systems Rule, pursuant to which the agency removed a requirement for
offshore operators to certify through an independent third party that their critical safety and pollution prevention equipment (e.g., subsea safety equipment,
including blowout preventers) was operational and functioning as designed in the most
-18-
extreme conditions , and (ii) a June 2017 delay in implementation of a Notice to Lessees and Operators ("NTL") issued by BSEE under the Obama
Administration that would bolster supplemental bonding procedures for the decommissioning of offshore wells, platforms, pipelines, and other facilities by
oil and natural gas exploration and production operators on the OCS. Implementation of this NTL could result in significant increases in financial assurances
for our customers operating on the OCS but the NTL was delayed indefinitely beyond June 30, 2017 so that BOEM could further assess this financial
assurance program. This delay is expected to be temporary in nature. There exists the possibility that certain of these recent mitigatory actions under the
Trump Administration could be withdrawn or revised in the future by a different administration to impose or re-implement more stringent standards.
Moreover, due primarily to the threat of climate change arising from GHG emissions, certain candidates seeking the office of President of the United States in
2020 have pledged to take actions banning new mineral leases on federal properties, including offshore leases on the OCS.
Outside of the United States, there are countries and provincial, regional, tribal or local jurisdictions therein where our offshore oil and gas exploration
and production customers are conducting business that also have, or may be developing, regulatory initiatives or analogous controls that regulate the
permitting and regulatory safety and performance aspects of those customers’ development and production activities. While the legal requirements imposed in
foreign countries or jurisdictions therein may be similar in form to U.S. laws and regulations, in some cases the actual implementation of these requirements
may impose additional, or more stringent, conditions or controls that can significantly restrict, delay or cancel the permitting, development or expansion of an
offshore energy project or substantially increase the cost of doing business offshore. These regulatory actions, or any new rules, regulations, or legal
initiatives or controls, whether in the United States under the Trump Administration or another administration following the 2020 U.S. presidential elections
or in other countries, that impose increased costs or more stringent operational standards could delay or disrupt our customers' operations, increase the risk of
expired leases due to the time required to develop new technology, result in increased supplemental bonding and costs and limit activities in certain areas, or
cause our customers to incur penalties, fines, or shut-in production at one or more of their facilities or result in the suspension or cancellation of leases, any or
all of which could reduce demand for our products and services under our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. While the United States under the
Trump Administration has generally indicated an interest in scaling back or rescinding regulations that inhibit the development of the domestic oil and natural
gas industry, it is difficult to predict the extent to which such policies will be implemented or the outcome of any litigation challenging such implementation.
Also, if material spill events were to occur in the future, the United States or other countries where such an event were to occur could elect to issue
directives to temporarily cease drilling activities and, in any event, may from time to time issue further safety and environmental laws and regulations
regarding offshore oil and natural gas exploration and development, any of which developments could have a material adverse effect on our business. We
cannot predict with any certainty the full impact of any new laws, regulations or legal initiatives or controls on our customers' drilling operations or on the
cost or availability of insurance to cover the risks associated with such operations. The matters described above, individually or in the aggregate, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Consolidation of our customers and competitors may impact our results of operations.
The oil and gas industry continues to experience consolidation. Industry consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers,
the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers or competitors or consolidated entities using size and purchasing power to seek pricing or other
concessions, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. In addition, recent, ongoing and future mergers, combinations and
consolidations in our industry could result in existing competitors increasing their market share and may result in stronger competitors. As a result, industry
consolidation may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our U.S. reported results of operations and financial position.
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into purchase and sales commitments that are denominated in currencies that differ from the functional
currency used by our operating subsidiaries. Currency exchange rate fluctuations can create volatility in our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, and/or cash flows. Although we may enter into foreign exchange agreements with financial institutions in order to reduce our exposure to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, these transactions, if entered into, will not eliminate that risk entirely. To the extent that we are unable to match
revenues received in foreign currencies with expenses paid in the same currency, exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. Additionally, because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, if we generate
net revenues or earnings in countries whose currency is not the U.S. dollar, the translation of such amounts into U.S. dollars can result in an increase or
decrease in the amount of our net revenues and earnings depending upon exchange rate movements. As a result, a material decrease in the value of these
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may have a negative impact on our reported results of operations and cash flows. Any currency controls implemented by
local monetary authorities in countries where we currently operate could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
-19-
The results of the United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union including subsequent exchange rate fluctuations and political and
economic uncertainties may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.
We are a multinational company and are subject to the risks inherent in doing business in other countries, including the United Kingdom (the "U.K."). In
June 2016, a majority of voters in the U.K. elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum ("Brexit"). On January 31, 2020, the U.K.
Parliament ratified a withdrawal agreement between the U.K. government and the European Union, which contemplates a transition period to allow time for a
future trade deal to be agreed upon. The terms of these trade agreements could potentially disrupt the markets we serve and the jurisdictions in which we
operate and may cause us to lose customers, suppliers and employees.
The impact from Brexit on our business and operations will depend on the outcome of tariff, tax treaty, trade, regulatory and other negotiations, as well as
the impact of the withdrawal on macroeconomic growth and currency volatility, which are uncertain at this time. Any of these effects of Brexit could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
Our operations are significantly affected by numerous laws and regulations domestically at the federal, regional, state, tribal and local levels or by foreign
governments regarding the discharge of substances into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. We could be exposed to liabilities
for cleanup costs, natural resource damages, and other damages under these laws and regulations, with certain of these legal requirements imposing strict
liability for such damages and costs, even though our conduct was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct resulting in such damage and costs were
caused by prior operators or other third-parties. Our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers are similarly subject to these environmental
laws and regulations, which could result in increased costs or delay or cancel new drilling and ongoing development efforts, which developments could
reduce the demand for our services and products.
Environmental laws and regulations in the United States and in foreign countries are subject to change in the future, possibly resulting in more stringent
legal requirements. If existing regulatory requirements or enforcement policies change or new regulatory or enforcement initiatives are developed and
implemented in the future, we or our customers may be required to make significant, unanticipated capital and operating expenditures. Examples of recent
regulations or other regulatory initiatives in the United States include the following:
•
•
Ground-Level Ozone Standards. In 2015, the EPA issued a final rule under the CAA, lowering the National Ambient Air Quality Standard
("NAAQS") for ground-level ozone from 75 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion under both the primary and secondary standards to provide
requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively. Since that time, the EPA has issued area designations with respect to ground-level
ozone and final requirements that apply to state, local, and tribal air agencies for implementing the 2015 NAAQS for ground-level ozone. State
implementation of the revised NAAQS could, among other things, require installation of new emission controls on some of our or our customers'
equipment, result in longer permitting timelines, and significantly increase our or our customers' capital expenditures and operating costs.
EPA Review of Drilling Waste Classification. Drilling, fluids, produced water and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration,
development and production of oil or natural gas, if properly handled, are currently exempt from regulation as hazardous waste under the RCRA and
instead, are regulated under RCRA's less stringent non-hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain of our oil and natural gas
customers' drilling and production wastes, now classified as non-hazardous, could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. For example,
pursuant to a consent decree issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in late 2016, the EPA was required to propose by no later
than March 15, 2019, a rulemaking for revision of certain Subtitle D criteria regulations that could result in oil and natural gas exploration and
production wastes being regulated as hazardous wastes. In response, the EPA conducted a review as required under the consent decree and, on
April 23, 2019, issued its determination that revisions to the Subtitle D regulations were unnecessary. Nonetheless, this determination could be made
subject to legal challenge, or the EPA may in the future propose a rulemaking for revised oil and natural gas waste regulations. Notwithstanding the
EPA's 2019 determination, any future loss of such RCRA exemption could require our customers to make significant expenditures to attain and
maintain compliance.
-20-
• Waters of the United States. In 2015, the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") released a final rule outlining federal jurisdictional
reach under the Clean Water Act over waters of the United States, including wetlands. In 2017, the EPA and the Corps agreed to reconsider the 2015
rule and, thereafter, on October 22, 2019, the agencies published a final rule to rescind the 2015 rule and recodify the regulatory text that governed
waters of the United States prior to promulgation of the 2015 rule. This final rule became effective on December 23, 2019. The re-codified
regulatory text will govern waters of the United States until such time as the EPA and Corps issue a final rule re-defining the Clean Water Act's
jurisdiction over waters of the United States in replacement of the 2015 rule but, to date, the two agencies have only published a proposed
rulemaking on re-defining such jurisdiction in February 2019. The 2015 final rule is being challenged by various factions in federal district court
with the 2015 rule currently being in force in twenty-two states; however, with the December 2019 effectiveness of the rule rescinding the 2015 rule,
it is expected that those challenges will become moot unless additional legal actions challenging this 2019 rule arise. The adoption of any laws,
regulations or other legal enforceable mandates that result in expanding the scope of the Clean Water Act's jurisdiction in areas where we or our
customers conduct operations could result in us or our customers incurring increased costs and restrictions, delays or cancellations in permitting or
development of projects.
Compliance with these regulations and other regulatory initiatives, or any other new environmental laws and regulations could, among other things,
require us or our customers to install new or modified emission controls on equipment or processes, incur longer permitting timelines, and incur significantly
increased capital or operating expenditures, which costs may be significant. Additionally, one or more of these developments that impact our oil and natural
gas exploration and production customers could reduce demand for our products and services. Moreover, any failure by us to comply with applicable
environmental laws and regulations may result in governmental authorities taking actions against our business that could adversely impact our operations and
financial condition, including the:
•
•
•
•
issuance of administrative, civil, and/or criminal penalties;
denial or revocation of permits or other authorizations;
reduction, delay or cessation in operations, including any development or expansion of projects; and
performance of site investigatory, remedial, or other corrective actions or the incurrence of capital expenditures.
An accidental release of pollutants into the environment may cause us to incur significant costs and liabilities.
Our business activities present risks of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in our business as a result of our handling of petroleum
hydrocarbons, because of air emissions and waste water discharges related to our operations, and due to historical industry operations and waste disposal
practices. Additionally, private parties, including the owners or operators of properties upon which we perform services and facilities where our wastes are
taken for reclamation or disposal, also may have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance as well as to seek damages for non-compliance with
environmental laws and regulations or for personal injury or property or natural resource damages. Some environmental laws and regulations may impose
strict liability, which means that in some situations we could be exposed to liability as a result of our conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the
conduct of, or conditions caused by prior owners or operators of properties or other third parties. Remedial costs and other damages, including natural
resources damages arising as a result of environmental laws and costs associated with changes in environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. We may not be able to recover some or any of these costs
from insurance.
We could incur significant costs in complying with stringent occupational health and safety requirements
We are subject to stringent federal and state laws and regulations, including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act and comparable state statutes,
whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers, both generally and within the Well Site Services, Downhole Technologies, and Offshore
Manufactured Products industries. In addition, OSHA's hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the
Federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act and comparable state statutes require that information be maintained concerning hazardous materials
used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We, and the
entities in which we own an interest, are subject to OSHA Process Safety Management regulations, which are designed to prevent or minimize the
consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. The regulations apply to any process that (1) involves a listed
chemical in a quantity at or above the threshold quantity specified in the regulation for that chemical or (2) involves certain flammable gases or flammable
liquids present on site in one location in a quantity of 10,000 pounds or more.

Our and our customers' operations are subject to a series of risks arising out of the threat of climate change that could result in increased operating costs,
limit the areas in which oil and natural gas production may occur, and reduce demand for the products and services we provide.
The threat of climate change continues to attract considerable attention in the United States and in foreign countries. Numerous proposals have been
made and could continue to be made at the international, national, regional and state levels of government to monitor and limit existing emissions of GHGs as
well as to restrict or eliminate such future emissions. As a result, our operations as well as the operations of our oil and natural gas exploration and production
customers are subject to a series of regulatory, political, financial and litigation risks associated with the production and processing of fossil fuels and
emission of GHGs.
In the United States, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented at the federal level. However, with the U.S. Supreme Court
finding that GHG emissions constitute a pollutant under the CAA, the EPA has adopted rules that, among other things, establish construction and operating
permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources, require the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain
petroleum and natural gas system sources, implement New Source Performance Standards directing the reduction of methane from certain new, modified, or
reconstructed facilities in the oil and natural gas sector, and together with the DOT, implement GHG emissions limits on vehicles manufactured for operation
in the United States. Additionally, various states and groups of states have adopted or are considering adopting legislation, regulations or other regulatory
initiatives that are focused on such areas as GHG cap and trade programs, carbon taxes, reporting and tracking programs, and restriction of emissions. At the
international level, there exists the United Nations-sponsored "Paris Agreement," which is a non-binding agreement for nations to limit their GHG emissions
through individually-determined reduction goals every five years after 2020, although the United States has announced its withdrawal from such agreement,
effective November 4, 2020.
Governmental, scientific, and public concern over the threat of climate change arising from GHG emissions has resulted in federal political risks in the
United States in the form of pledges made by certain candidates seeking the office of the President of the United States in 2020. Critical declarations made by
one or more presidential candidates include proposals to ban hydraulic fracturing of oil and natural gas wells and ban new leases for production of minerals
on federal properties, including onshore lands and offshore waters. Other actions to oil and natural gas production activities that could be pursued by
presidential candidates may include more restrictive requirements for the establishment of pipeline infrastructure or the permitting of liquefied natural gas
export facilities, as well as the rescission of the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement in November 2020. Litigation risks are also increasing,
as a number of cities, local governments and other plaintiffs have sought to bring suit against the largest oil and natural gas exploration and production
companies in state or federal court, alleging, among other things, that such energy companies created public nuisances by producing fuels that contributed to
global warming effects, such as rising sea levels, and therefore, are responsible for roadway and infrastructure damages as a result, or alleging that the
companies have been aware of the adverse effects of climate change for some time but defrauded their investors by failing to adequately disclose those
impacts.
There are also increasing financial risks for fossil fuel producers as shareholders and bondholders currently invested in fossil-fuel energy companies
concerned about the potential effects of climate change may elect in the future to shift some or all of their investments into non-fossil fuel energy related
sectors. Institutional lenders who provide financing to fossil-fuel energy companies also have become more attentive to sustainable lending practices and
some of them may elect not to provide funding for fossil fuel energy companies. Additionally, the lending practices of institutional lenders have been the
subject of intensive lobbying efforts in recent years, oftentimes public in nature, by environmental activists, proponents of the international Paris Agreement,
and foreign citizenry concerned about climate change not to provide funding for fossil fuel producers. Limitation of investments in and financings for fossil
fuel energy companies could result in the restriction, delay or cancellation of drilling programs or development or production activities.
The adoption and implementation of new or more stringent international, federal or state legislation, regulations or other regulatory initiatives that impose
more stringent standards for GHG emissions from the oil and natural gas sector or otherwise restrict the areas in which this sector may produce oil and natural
gas or generate GHG emissions could result in increased costs of compliance or costs of consuming fossil fuels. Such legislation or regulations could
consequently reduce demand for oil and natural gas, which could reduce demand for our services and products. Additionally, political, financial and litigation
risks may result in our oil and natural gas customers restricting or canceling production activities, incurring liability for infrastructure damages as a result of
climatic changes, or impairing the ability to continue to operate in an economic manner, which also could reduce demand for our services and products. One
or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
-22-
The Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and other laws intended to protect certain species of wildlife govern our and our oil and
natural gas exploration and production customers' operations, which constraints could have an adverse impact on our ability to expand some of our
existing operations or limit our customers' ability to develop new oil and natural gas wells.
In the United States, the federal Endangered Species Act and comparable state laws were established to protect endangered and threatened species. Under
the Endangered Species Act, if a species is listed as threatened or endangered, restrictions may be imposed on activities adversely affecting that species'
habitat. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Oil and natural gas operations in our operating areas may be
adversely affected by seasonal or permanent restrictions on drilling activities designed to protect various wildlife, which may limit our ability to operate in
protected areas. Permanent restrictions imposed to protect endangered and threatened species could prohibit drilling in certain areas or require the
implementation of expensive mitigation measures.
Moreover, as a result of one or more settlements approved by the United States federal government, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must make
determinations on the listing of numerous species as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The designation of previously unidentified
endangered or threatened species could indirectly cause us to incur additional costs, cause our or our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers'
operations to become subject to operating restrictions or bans, and limit future development activity in affected areas, which could reduce demand for our
products and services to those customers.
Our inability to control the inherent risks of identifying and integrating businesses that we may acquire, including any related increases in debt or
issuances of equity securities, could adversely affect our operations.
Acquisitions have been, and our management believes will continue to be, a key element of our growth strategy. We continually review complementary
acquisition opportunities and we expect to seek to consummate acquisitions of such businesses in the future. However, we may not be able to identify and
acquire acceptable acquisition candidates on favorable terms in the future or at all. In addition, we may be required to incur substantial indebtedness to
finance future acquisitions and also may issue equity securities in connection with such acquisitions. Such additional debt service requirements could impose
a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to
stockholders.
We expect to gain certain business, financial, and strategic advantages as a result of business combinations we undertake, including synergies and
operating efficiencies. Our forward-looking statements assume that we will successfully integrate our business acquisitions and realize these intended
benefits. However, our inability to realize expected financial performance and strategic advantages as a result of an acquisition could negatively affect the
anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Additional risks we could face in connection with acquisitions include:
•
•
•
•
•
retaining key employees and customers of acquired businesses;
retaining supply and distribution relationships key to the supply chain;
increased administrative burden, including additional costs associated with regulatory compliance;
diversion of management time and attention;
developing our sales and marketing capabilities;
• managing our growth effectively;
•
integrating operations, workforce, product lines and technology;
• managing tax and foreign exchange exposure;
•
•
•
•
•
operating a new line of business;
increased logistical problems common to large, expansive operations;
inability to pursue and protect patents covering acquired technology;
addition of acquisition-related debt and increased expenses and working capital requirements;
substantial accounting charges for restructuring and related expenses, write-off of in-process research and development, impairment of goodwill,
amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense;
-23-
•
•
becoming subject to unanticipated liabilities of the acquired business, including litigation related to the acquired business; and
achieving the expected benefits from the acquisition, including certain cost savings and operational efficiencies or synergies.
If we fail to manage any of these risks successfully, our business could be harmed. Our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly
following an acquisition, and stockholders of the Company may not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial, and other relevant information
that we will consider in evaluating future acquisitions.
Following our acquisition of GEODynamics in January 2018, we determined that certain steel products historically imported by GEODynamics from
China for use in its manufacturing process may potentially be subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties based on recent clarifications/decisions
rendered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Court of International Trade. Following these findings, we commenced an internal review of this
matter and ceased further purchases of these potentially affected Chinese products. As part of our internal review, we engaged trade counsel and decided to
voluntarily disclose this matter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September 2018. In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, the seller
agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against certain claims related to matters such as this, and we have provided notice to and asserted indemnification
claims against the seller. Additionally, we are able to set-off payments due under the $25.0 million promissory note issued to the seller of GEODynamics in
respect of indemnification claims. Such note was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019, but, because we have provided notice to and asserted indemnification
claims, the maturity date of the note is extended until the resolution of such claim. We expect that the amount ultimately paid in respect of such note will be
reduced as a result of these indemnification claims. See Note 7, "Long-term Debt," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report
on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
We might be unable to compete successfully with other companies in our industry.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and certain of them have relatively few barriers to entry. The principal competitive factors in our
markets are product, equipment and service quality, availability, responsiveness, experience, technology, safety performance, and price. In some of our
product and service offerings, we compete with the oil and natural gas industry's largest oilfield service providers. These large national and multi-national
companies have longer operating histories, greater financial, technical, and other resources, and greater name recognition than we do. Several of our
competitors provide a broader array of services and have a stronger presence in more geographic markets. In addition, we compete with many smaller
companies capable of competing effectively on a regional or local basis. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and services, and changes in customer requirements. Many contracts are awarded on a bid basis, which further increases competition based on
price. As a result of competition, we may lose market share or be unable to maintain or increase prices for our present services, or to acquire additional
business opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business and results of operations could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and other disruptions.
We rely heavily on information systems to conduct our business. Although we devote significant resources to protect our systems and data, we may
experience various security threats, including cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or to render data or systems unusable;
threats to the safety of our employees; threats to the security of our facilities and infrastructure, or third-party facilities and infrastructure; and threats from
terrorist acts. Cybersecurity attacks in particular are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to
data, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected
information, and corruption of data. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor these threats and mitigate our exposure to such threats,
there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient in preventing security threats from materializing. If any of these events were to
materialize, they could lead to losses of sensitive information (including our intellectual property and customer data), critical infrastructure, personnel or
capabilities, essential to our operations, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We may not have adequate insurance for potential liabilities and our insurance may not cover certain liabilities, including litigation risks.
The products that we manufacture and the services that we provide are complex, and the failure of our equipment to operate properly or to meet
specifications may greatly increase our customers' costs. In addition, many of these products are used in inherently hazardous applications where an accident
or product failure can cause personal injury or loss of life, damages to property, equipment, or the environment, regulatory investigations and penalties, and
the suspension or cancellation of the end-user's operations. If our products or services fail to meet specifications, or are involved in accidents or failures, we
could face warranty, contract, or other litigation claims for which we may be held responsible and our reputation for providing quality products may suffer. In
the ordinary
-24-
course of business, we become the subject of various claims, lawsuits, and administrative proceedings, seeking damages or other remedies concerning our
commercial operations, products, employees, and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a
result of our products or operations. Some of these claims relate to the activities of businesses that we have sold, and some relate to the activities of businesses
that we have acquired, even though these activities may have occurred prior to our acquisition of such businesses.
We maintain insurance to cover many of our potential losses, and we are subject to various self-retentions and deductibles under our insurance policies. It
is possible, however, that a judgment could be rendered against us in cases in which we could be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have
reserved or anticipate incurring for such matters. Even a partially uninsured or underinsured claim, if successful and of significant size, could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or consolidated financial position. We also face the following other risks related to our insurance coverage:
•
•
•
•
we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms;
we may be faced with types of liabilities that will not be covered by our insurance, such as damages from environmental contamination or terrorist
attacks;
the counterparties to our insurance contracts may pose credit risks; and
we may incur losses from interruption of our business that exceed our insurance coverage.
Weather conditions in our regions of operations may limit our ability to operate our business and could adversely affect our operating results, which are
susceptible to seasonal earnings volatility.
Our operations are directly affected by seasonal differences in weather in the areas in which we operate, most notably in the Rocky Mountain region of
the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Severe winter weather conditions in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States can restrict access to work
areas for our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segment customers. Our operations in and near the Gulf of Mexico are also affected by weather
patterns. Weather conditions in the Gulf Coast region generally result in higher drilling activity in the spring, summer and fall months, with the lowest levels
of activity in the winter months. In addition, summer and fall drilling activity can be restricted due to hurricanes and other storms prevalent in the Gulf of
Mexico and along the Gulf Coast. As a result of these seasonal differences, full year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or
combination of quarters.
Some forecasters also expect that potential climate changes may have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms,
floods and other climatic events and could have an adverse effect on our or our customers’ operations. Any unusual or prolonged severe weather or increased
frequency thereof, such as freezing rain, earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts, or floods in our or our oil and gas exploration and production customers’ areas of
operations or markets, whether due to climate change or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. Our planning for normal climatic variation, insurance programs and emergency recovery plans may inadequately mitigate the effects of such
weather conditions, and not all such effects can be predicted, eliminated or insured against.
We are exposed to risks relating to subcontractors' performance in some of our projects.
In many cases, we subcontract the performance of portions of our operations to subcontractors. While we seek to obtain appropriate indemnities and
guarantees from these subcontractors, we remain ultimately responsible for the performance of our subcontractors. Industrial disputes, natural disasters,
financial failure or default, or inadequate performance in the provision of services, or the inability to provide services by such subcontractors, has the
potential to materially adversely affect us.
We depend on several significant customers in each of our business segments, and the loss of one or more such customers or the inability of one or more
such customers to meet their obligations to us, could adversely affect our results of operations.
We depend on several significant customers in each of our business segments. While no customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated
revenues in 2019, Halliburton Company individually accounted for 10% and 16% of our total consolidated revenues in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The loss of a significant portion of customers in any of our business segments, or a sustained decrease in demand by any of such customers, could result
in a loss of revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the concentration of customers in one industry impacts
our overall exposure to credit risk, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. While we perform ongoing
credit evaluations of our customers, we do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.
-25-
As a result of our customer concentration, risks of nonpayment and nonperformance by our counterparties are a concern in our business. Many of our
customers finance their activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt, or the issuance of equity. Many of our customers have
experienced substantial reductions in their cash flows from operations, and some are experiencing liquidity shortages, lack of access to capital and credit
markets, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities, and other adverse impacts to their financial condition. These conditions may
result in a significant reduction in our customers' liquidity and ability to pay or otherwise perform on their obligations to us. The inability, or failure of, our
significant customers to meet their obligations to us, or their insolvency or liquidation, may adversely affect our financial results.
We may assume contractual risks in developing, manufacturing and delivering products in our Offshore/Manufactured Products business segment.
Many of our products from our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment are ordered by customers under frame agreements or project-specific contracts.
In some cases these contracts stipulate a fixed price for the delivery of our products and impose liquidated damages or late delivery fees if we do not meet
specific customer deadlines. Our actual costs, and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts, may vary from the initially expected contract
economics. This may occur for various reasons, including but not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
errors in estimates or bidding;
changes in availability and cost of materials and labor;
failures of our suppliers to deliver raw materials and other goods that comply with our specifications;
variations in productivity from our original estimates;
changes in tariffs or tax regimes; and
• material changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a project,
variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
In addition, some customer contracts stipulate consequential damages payable, generally as a result of our gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
final delivered products may also include customer and third-party supplied equipment, the delay of which can negatively impact our ability to deliver our
products on time at our anticipated profitability.
In certain cases these orders include new technology or unspecified design elements. There is inherent risk in the estimation process including significant
unforeseen technical and logistical challenges, or longer than expected lead times. In some cases we may not be fully, or, properly compensated for the cost to
develop and design the final products, negatively impacting our profitability on the projects. In addition, our customers, in many cases, request changes to the
original design or bid specifications for which we may not be fully or properly compensated.
In fulfilling some contracts, we provide limited warranties for our products. Although we estimate and record a provision for potential warranty claims,
repair or replacement costs under warranty provisions in our contracts could exceed the estimated cost to cure the claim, which could be material to our
financial results. We utilize percentage-of-completion accounting, depending on the size and length of a project, and variations from estimated contract
performance could have a significant impact on our reported operating results as we progress toward completion of major jobs.
Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and, therefore, has limitations as an
indicator of our future revenues and earnings.
The revenues projected in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. Because of
potential changes in the scope or schedule of our customers' projects, we cannot predict with certainty when or if backlog will be realized. Material delays,
cancellations or payment defaults could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Reductions in our backlog due to cancellations or deferrals by customers, or for other reasons, would adversely affect, potentially to a material extent, the
revenues and earnings we actually receive from contracts included in our backlog. Some of the contracts in our backlog are cancellable by the customer,
subject to the payment of termination fees and/or the reimbursement of our costs incurred. We typically have no contractual right to the total revenues
reflected in our backlog once a project is canceled. While backlog cancellations have not been significant in the past, we incurred cancellations totaling
$5.0 million, $6.5 million and $3.5 million during 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. If commodity prices do not improve, or decline further, we may incur
additional cancellations or experience declines in our backlog.
-26-
We might be unable to employ a sufficient number of technical and service personnel.
Many of the products that we sell in our Offshore/Manufactured Products and Downhole Technologies segments are complex and highly engineered, and
often must perform in harsh conditions. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to employ and retain technical personnel with the ability to
design, utilize, and enhance these products. In addition, our ability to expand our operations in each of our businesses depends in part on our ability to
increase our skilled labor force. As observed in the U.S. shale play regions such as the Permian Basin in recent years, during periods of increased activity, the
demand for skilled workers is high, and the supply is limited. When these events occur, our cost structure increases and our growth potential could be
impaired. Conversely, during periods of reduced activity, we are forced to reduce headcount, freeze or reduce wages, and implement other cost-saving
measures which could lead to job abandonment by our technical and service personnel.
If we do not develop new competitive technologies and products, our business and revenues may be adversely affected.
The market for our products and services is characterized by continual technological developments to provide better performance in increasingly greater
depths, higher pressure levels and harsher conditions. If we are unable to design, develop, and produce commercially competitive products in a timely manner
in response to changes in technology, our business and revenues will be adversely affected. Many of our competitors are large multinational companies that
may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new
systems, services and technologies than we are able to do. In addition, competitors or customers may develop new technologies, which address similar or
improved solutions to our existing technology. In 2019, for example, our Downhole Technologies segment sales of perforating products declined due, in part,
to the introduction of integrated gun systems by its competitors. Additionally, the development and commercialization of new products and services requires
substantial capital expenditures and we may not have access to needed capital at attractive rates or at all due to our financial condition, disruptions of the bank
or capital markets, or other reasons beyond our control to continue these activities. Should our technologies become the less attractive solution, our operations
and profitability would be negatively impacted.
We may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon its intellectual property rights.
The tools, techniques, methodologies, programs, and components we use to provide our products and services may infringe, or be alleged to infringe,
upon the intellectual property rights of others. Infringement claims generally result in significant legal and other costs, and may distract management from
running our core business. Royalty payments under a license from third parties, if available, would increase our costs. If a license was not available, we might
not be able to continue providing a particular service or product. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
During periods of strong demand or limited supply, we may be unable to obtain critical materials on a timely basis.
Our operations depend on our ability to procure, on a timely basis, certain project materials, such as forgings, to complete projects and produce products
in an efficient and timely manner. Our inability to procure critical materials during times of strong demand/limited supply or at reasonable costs due to supply
issues, plant closures due to heath concerns or other issues, import taxes or the like, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Our oilfield operations involve a variety of operating hazards and risks that could cause losses.
Our operations are subject to the hazards inherent in the oilfield business. These include, but are not limited to, equipment defects, blowouts, explosions,
spills, fires, collisions, capsizing, and severe weather conditions. These hazards could result in personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to, or
destruction of, property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We may incur substantial liabilities or losses as a
result of these hazards as part of our ongoing business operations. We may agree to indemnify our customers against specific risks and liabilities. While we
maintain insurance protection against some of these risks, and seek to obtain indemnity agreements from our customers requiring the customers to hold us
harmless from some of these risks, our insurance and contractual indemnity protection may not be sufficient or effective enough to protect us under all
circumstances or against all risks. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against or the failure of a customer to meet its
indemnification obligations to us could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our common stock price has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.
The trading price of our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to the highly cyclical nature of our industry and a variety of other
factors, including quarterly variations in operating results, conditions in the oil and gas industry, perceptions of our industry, analyst reports, estimates and
commentary, general economic conditions and numerous other events or factors that are beyond our control.
-27-
In addition, the U.S. stock markets in general and the market for oilfield service companies in particular, have experienced large price and volume
fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results or asset values of those companies. These broad market and industry
factors may materially impact the market price and trading volume of our common stock regardless of our actual operating performance.
We might be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be subject to litigation if another party claims that we have infringed upon its
intellectual property rights.
We rely on a variety of intellectual property rights that we use in our businesses, including our patents relating to our FlexJoint®, Merlin™ and
SmartStart Plus® technologies, and intervention and downhole extended-reach tools (including our HydroPull® tool) utilized in the completion or workover of
oil and natural gas wells. The market success of our technologies will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and enforce our proprietary rights in these
technologies, to preserve rights in our trade secret and non-public information, and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We may not
be able to successfully preserve these intellectual property rights and these rights could be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. In addition, we may be
required to expend significant amounts of money pursuing and defending our intellectual property rights, and these proceedings may not ultimately be
successful. For example, during 2018 we incurred expenses in excess of $8 million in connection with patent defense. If any of our patents or other
intellectual property rights are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, or if a court or other tribunal limits the scope of claims in a patent or fails to
recognize our trade secret rights, our competitive advantages could be significantly reduced in the relevant technology, allowing competition for our customer
base to increase.
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our products and services may be sold do not protect intellectual property rights to the same
extent as the laws of the United States. The failure of our Company to protect our proprietary information and any successful intellectual property challenges
or infringement proceedings against us could adversely affect our competitive position.

(2) During 2019, our Drilling Services business recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $33.7 million to decrease the carrying value of the business' fixed assets to their
estimated fair value. See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K
for further discussion.
(3) During 2017, we recorded a provisional non-cash charge of $28.2 million associated with U.S. income tax legislation enacted in December 2017. During 2018, we
adjusted our 2017 provisional estimate and recorded a tax benefit of $5.8 million following the issuance of updated guidance with respect to this U.S. income tax
legislation. See Note 9, "Income Taxes," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
(4) The term EBITDA as defined consists of net income (loss) attributable to continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash impairments of
goodwill and fixed assets, interest expense, net, and income tax provision (benefit). EBITDA as defined does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements,
reinvestment or other discretionary uses and is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider it in
isolation from or as a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of
profitability or liquidity. We have included EBITDA as defined as a supplemental disclosure because our management believes that EBITDA as defined provides useful
information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with
the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We use EBITDA as defined to compare and to monitor the
performance of our business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under our annual incentive
compensation plan.
(5) On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting guidance for leases, which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases that are not short-
term in nature. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. See Note 3, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about
our business operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result
of numerous factors, including the known material factors set forth in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors." You should read the following discussion and analysis
together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
We provide a broad range of products and services to the oil and gas industry through our Well Site Services, Downhole Technologies and
Offshore/Manufactured Products business segments. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the
oil and gas industry, particularly our customers' willingness to invest capital in the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Our
customers' capital spending programs are generally based on their cash flows and their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices, economic
growth, commodity demand and estimates of resource production. As a result, demand for our products and services is largely sensitive to future expectations
with respect to crude oil and natural gas prices.
Our consolidated results of operations include contributions from the GEODynamics and Falcon acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2018. Our
reported results of operations reflect the impact of current industry trends and customer spending activities with investments weighted toward U.S. shale play
regions. However, in 2019, we began to see a general improvement in the level of planned investments in deepwater markets globally.
Recent Developments
In addition to capital spending, we have invested in acquisitions of businesses complementary to our growth strategy. Our acquisition strategy has
allowed us to leverage our existing and acquired products and services into new geographic locations and has expanded the breadth of our technology and
product offerings while allowing us to leverage our cost structure. We have made strategic and complementary acquisitions in each of our business segments
in recent years.
On December 12, 2017 we entered into an agreement to acquire GEODynamics, Inc. ("GEODynamics"), which provides oil and gas perforation systems
and downhole tools in support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. On January 12, 2018, we closed the acquisition of
GEODynamics for total consideration of approximately $615 million (the "GEODynamics Acquisition"), consisting of (i) $295 million in cash (net of cash
acquired), (ii) approximately 8.66 million shares of our common stock (valued at $34.05 per share on the date of closing) and (iii) an unsecured $25 million
promissory note.
In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, we completed several financing transactions in 2018 to extend the maturity of our debt and to provide
flexibility in repaying outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility with anticipated future cash flows from operations.
On January 30, 2018, we sold $200 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% convertible senior notes due February 2023 (the "Notes") through a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers. We received net proceeds from the offering of the Notes of approximately $194 million, after deducting
issuance costs. We used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, substantially all of which were
drawn to fund the cash portion of the purchase price paid for GEODynamics.
Concurrently with the Notes offering, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to January 2022, permit the issuance of the
Notes and provide for up to $350 million in borrowing capacity, subject to certain limitations.
On February 28, 2018, we acquired Falcon Flowback Services, LLC ("Falcon"), a full-service provider of flowback and well testing services for the
separation and recovery of fluids, solid debris and proppant used during hydraulic fracturing operations. Falcon provides additional scale and diversity to our
Completion Services operations in key shale plays in the United States. The acquisition price was $84.2 million in cash, funded with borrowings under our
Revolving Credit Facility.
During the third quarter of 2019, we made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of our Drilling Services business (adjusting from 34 rigs to 9 rigs)
due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling rigs in the U.S. land market. As a result of this decision, our Drilling Services business
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.7 million to decrease the carrying value of the business' fixed assets to their estimated fair value. Substantially
all of the decommissioned rigs were sold in the fourth quarter of 2019.
-33-
During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Downhole Technologies segment recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million due to,
among other factors, a reduction in our near-term outlook for demand related to our short-cycle products and services in the U.S. shale play regions.
See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," Note 5, "Business Acquisitions" and Note 7, "Long-term Debt" to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
Macroeconomic Environment
Our long-term outlook for the energy industry remains constructive – guided by expected population growth, projected future growth in global demand
for crude oil, an underinvestment in major offshore projects over the past five years, a decline in the productivity of wells drilled on U.S. land over recent
years and increased capital discipline during 2019 by operators in the U.S. shale play regions. Additionally, OPEC, along with Russia, have demonstrated a
willingness since late 2016 to adjust crude oil production in an effort to balance crude oil supply and demand in the market. In December 2019, OPEC and
other countries announced further curtailments of crude oil production. We believe that the currently demonstrated restraint by operators to invest in projects
without a reasonable return on investment at lower commodity prices creates the potential for crude oil prices to increase over time as production growth
slows, providing for improved market fundamentals over the longer term.
The macroeconomic environment for the energy sector has been and continues to be extremely volatile due to uncertainties regarding short- and medium-
term commodity price expectations. Most recently, this volatility was driven by significant production growth from the U.S. shale play regions and concerns
over the possible slowing of global demand growth.
Following material declines in the fourth quarter of 2018, Brent and WTI crude oil prices averaged $64 and $57 per barrel in 2019 – down 10% and 13%,
respectively, compared to 2018 average prices. While the commodity price environment improved in 2019 relative to the December 2018 lows, the crude oil
price outlook and associated volatility continues to have a moderating impact on our customers' operating results and capital spending plans, particularly
those operating in the U.S. shale play regions. Consequently, the U.S. rig count at December 31, 2019 of 805 rigs fell 26% from the most recent peak of 1,083
rigs working in December of 2018.
Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude will continue to influence our customers' willingness to invest in U.S. shale play developments as our
customers strive for financial discipline and spending levels that are within their capital budgets and cash flows. Expectations for the longer-term price for
Brent crude oil will continue to influence our customers' spending related to global offshore drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the
activity of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.
There remains a likelihood that crude oil prices could remain highly volatile due to increases in global inventory levels, increasing domestic or
international crude oil production, trade tensions with China, sanctions on Iranian production and tensions with Iran, civil unrest in Libya and Venezuela,
increasing price differentials between markets, slowing growth rates in China and other global regions, use of alternative fuels, improved vehicle fuel
efficiency, a more sustained movement to electric vehicles and/or the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances. However, if the global supply of crude
oil were to decrease due to a prolonged reduction in capital investment by our customers or if government instability in a major oil-producing nation
develops, and energy demand were to continue to increase, a sustained recovery in WTI and Brent crude oil prices could occur. In any event, crude oil price
improvements will depend upon the balance of global supply and demand, with a corresponding continued reduction in global inventories.
Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has been limited due to natural gas production from prolific basins in the Northeastern United States and
from associated gas produced from the drilling and completion of unconventional oil wells in North America.

Overview
Our Well Site Services segment provides completion services and, to a much lesser extent land drilling services, in the United States (including the Gulf
of Mexico) and the rest of the world. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Well Site Services results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in
commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of its operations.
Within this segment, our Completion Services business supplies equipment and service personnel utilized in the completion and initial production of new
and recompleted wells. Activity for the Completion Services business is dependent primarily upon the level and complexity of drilling, completion, and
workover activity in the areas of operations mentioned above. Well intensity and complexity has increased with the continuing transition to multi-well pads,
the drilling of longer lateral wells and increased downhole pressures, along with the increased number of frac stages completed in horizontal wells. Similarly,
demand for our Drilling Services operations has historically been driven by activity in our primary land drilling markets of the Permian Basin in West Texas
and the U.S. Rocky Mountain area. During the third quarter of 2019, we made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of our Drilling Services business
(adjusting from 34 rigs to 9 rigs) due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling rigs in the U.S. land market. Prospectively, the
operations will primarily focus on serving operators in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region. See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
Our Downhole Technologies segment is comprised of the GEODynamics business we acquired in January 2018. GEODynamics was founded in 2004 as
a researcher, developer and manufacturer of consumable engineered products used in completion applications. This segment provides oil and gas perforation
systems, downhole tools and services in support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. This segment designs, manufactures
and markets its consumable engineered products to oilfield service as well as exploration and production companies. Product and service offerings for this
segment include innovations in perforation technology through patented and proprietary systems combined with advanced modeling and analysis tools. This
expertise has led to the optimization of perforation hole size, depth, and quality of tunnels, which are key factors for maximizing the effectiveness of
hydraulic fracturing. Additional offerings include proprietary toe valve and frac plug products, which are focused on zonal isolation for hydraulic fracturing
of horizontal wells, and a broad range of consumable products, such as setting tools and bridge plugs, that are used in completion, intervention and
decommissioning applications. Demand drivers for the Downhole Technologies segment include continued trends toward longer lateral lengths, increased frac
stages and more perforation clusters to target increased unconventional well productivity.
Demand for our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments' businesses is highly correlated to changes in the total number of wells drilled
in the United States, total footage drilled, the number of drilled wells that are completed and changes in the drilling rig count. The following table sets forth a
summary of the average U.S. drilling rig count, as measured by Baker Hughes, for the periods indicated.

Over recent years, our industry experienced an increase in customer spending on crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development activities in U.S.
shale plays utilizing horizontal drilling and completion techniques. As of December 31, 2019, oil-directed drilling accounted for 84% of the total U.S. rig
count – with the balance largely natural gas related. Following the significant decline in crude oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2018, coupled with customer
spending within their cash flows, the U.S. rig count declined steadily during the 2019 and exited the year at 805 rigs – 278 rigs, or 26%, below the level
reported at the end of 2018. As a result, the average U.S. rig count in 2019 decreased 89 rigs, or 9%, from the level reported in 2018.
Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and natural gas
production systems and facilities, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. This segment is
particularly influenced by global deepwater drilling and production spending, which are primarily driven by our customers' longer-term commodity demand
forecasts and outlook for crude oil and natural gas prices. Approximately 60% of Offshore/Manufactured Products sales in 2016 were driven by our
customers' capital spending for offshore production systems and subsea pipelines, repairs and, to a lesser extent, upgrades of existing offshore drilling rigs and
construction of new offshore drilling rigs and vessels (referred to herein as "project-driven products"). While increasing substantially from levels reported in
2017 and 2018, these activities only represented approximately 40% of the segment's revenue in 2019. Deepwater oil
-36-
and gas development projects typically involve significant capital investments and multi-year development plans. Such projects are generally undertaken by
larger exploration, field development and production companies (primarily international oil companies ("IOCs") and state-run national oil companies
("NOCs")) using relatively conservative crude oil and natural gas pricing assumptions. Given the long lead times associated with field development, we
believe some of these deepwater projects, once approved for development, are less susceptible to short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural
gas. However, lower crude oil prices that have persisted since 2014, coupled with the relatively uncertain outlook around shorter-term and possibly longer-
term pricing improvements, led exploration and production companies to reduce their capital expenditures in regards to these deepwater projects since they
are expensive to drill and complete, have long lead times to first production and may be considered uneconomical relative to the risk involved. Customers
have focused on improving the economics of major deepwater projects at lower commodity breakeven prices by re-bidding projects, identifying
advancements in technology, and reducing overall project costs through equipment standardization. This resulted in reduced bidding and quoting activity, as
well as reduced orders from customers and backlog levels, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment in 2017 and 2018 relative to 2014. Bidding and
quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for deepwater projects improved in 2019 from 2018 levels and the potential for future awards appears to
be improving.
Reflecting increased project award activity, backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment increased from $179 million at December 31, 2018
to $280 million at December 31, 2019. The segment received four notable orders during 2019 for production facility content destined for South America and
Southeast Asia, as well as connector products destined for the Middle East and military products for the United States. The following table sets forth backlog
reported by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment as of the dates indicated (in millions).

Reduced demand for our products and services, coupled with a reduction in the prices we charge our customers for our services, has adversely affected
our results of operations, cash flows and financial position since the second half of 2014. If the current pricing environment for crude oil does not improve, or
declines, our customers may be required to further reduce their capital expenditures, causing additional declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products
and services, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in manufacturing our products. The
United States recently imposed tariffs on a variety of imported products, including steel and aluminum. In response to the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum,
the European Union and several other countries, including Canada and China, have threatened and/or imposed retaliatory tariffs. The effect of these new
tariffs and the application and interpretation of existing trade agreements and customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations continue to evolve,
and we continue to monitor these matters. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products, or if the prices we have to pay
for these products increase as a result of customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations or otherwise, and we are unable to pass corresponding
cost increases on to our customers, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with respect to
potential costs in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause our customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred, would
adversely affect our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include but are not limited to the general global economic environment, competitive
pricing pressures, regulatory changes and changes in tax laws in the United States and international markets. We continue to monitor the global economy, the
prices of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and the resultant impact on the capital spending plans and operations of our customers in order to plan and
manage our business.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $231.8 million, or $3.90 per diluted share, which included non-cash impairment charges of
$165.0 million ($2.78 per diluted share) related to a write down of goodwill and $33.7 million ($26.6 million after-tax, or $0.45 per diluted share) related to a
write down of fixed assets, as well as $3.5 million ($2.8 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges.
These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $19.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which included $8.4 million
($6.6 million after-tax, or $0.11 per diluted share) of charges related to legal fees incurred for patent defense, $3.3 million ($2.6 million after-tax, or $0.04 per
diluted share) of transaction-related expenses, a $3.0 million ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) provision for Fair Labor Standards Act
("FLSA") claim settlements and $1.6 million ($1.3 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges. Additionally, during the
year ended December 31, 2018 the Company recognized a $5.8 million ($0.10 per diluted share) income tax benefit related to a change in its December 2017
provisional estimates with respect to U.S. tax reform legislation.
Our consolidated results of operations include contributions from the GEODynamics and Falcon acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2018. Our
reported results of operations reflect the impact of industry trends and customer spending activities with investments weighted toward U.S. shale play regions.
However, in 2019 we began to see a general improvement in the level of planned investments in deepwater markets globally.
During 2019, the average price of WTI crude oil declined approximately 13% from the 2018 average price. This decline in crude oil prices had a negative
impact on U.S. land-based customer drilling and completion activity, particularly in the U.S. shale play regions. We expect customer-driven activity to remain
tempered in early 2020 as operators strive for financial discipline and spending levels that are within their capital budgets and cash flows. If the current
pricing environment for crude oil does not improve, or declines, our customers may be required to further reduce their capital expenditures, causing additional
declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products and services, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues decreased $70.8 million, or 7%, in 2019 compared to 2018.
Consolidated product revenues in 2019 decreased $18.5 million, or 4%, from 2018 driven primarily by lower U.S. land-based customer activity and the
impact of competitive pricing pressures for conventional perforating products in our Downhole Technologies segment, partially offset by higher project-
driven sales within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. Consolidated service revenues for 2019 decreased $52.3 million, or 9%, from 2018 with
the impact, particularly on the Well Site Services segment, of lower customer spending in the U.S. shale play regions partially offset by two additional months
of revenue generated by the Falcon operations (acquired February 28, 2018). As can be derived from the following table, 73% of our consolidated revenues in
2019 were related to our short-cycle product and service offerings, which compared to 77% in 2018.
The following table provides disaggregated revenue information by operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization expense) decreased $31.9 million, or 4%, in 2019 compared to 2018.
Consolidated product costs in 2019 increased $2.7 million, or 1%, from 2018 (compared to a 4% decrease in product revenue) as a result of a shift in
revenue mix between short-cycle and project-driven products, which generally have higher relative costs, and increased costs within the Downhole
Technologies segment. Consolidated service costs for 2019 decreased $34.7 million, or 7%, from 2018, which included the impact of $3.0 million in costs
associated with the settlement of FLSA claims. The balance of the decrease in service costs from 2018 is due primarily to activity-driven revenue declines
within the Well Site Services segment, partially offset by incremental costs in the Downhole Technologies segment associated with an expansion of field
support operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $15.1 million, or 11%, in 2019 from 2018. The
expense in 2018 included $8.4 million of patent defense costs and $1.0 million of transaction-related costs. Excluding these items from 2018, selling, general
and administrative expense declined $5.7 million, or 4%, due primarily to a year-over-year reduction in stock-based compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively consistent between the 2019 and 2018 periods, with the
impact of the GEODynamics and Falcon operations acquired in the first quarter of 2018 partially offset by reduced capital investments and certain assets
becoming fully depreciated. Note 15, "Segments and Related Information," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form
10‑K presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.
Impairment of Goodwill. During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Downhole Technologies segment recognized a non-cash impairment charge of
$165.0 million to reduce the carrying value of the segment's goodwill. See Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
Impairment of Fixed Assets. During the third quarter of 2019, we made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of our Drilling Services business
(adjusting from 34 rigs to 9 rigs) due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling rigs in the U.S. land market. As a result of this
decision, our Drilling Services business recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $33.7 million to decrease the carrying value of the unit’s fixed assets to
their estimated fair value. See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report
on Form 10‑K for further discussion.
Other Operating Income, Net. Other operating income decreased slightly from 2018, totaling $2.0 million in 2019. During 2018, our
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment recognized a gain of $3.9 million in settlement of a Hurricane Harvey flood insurance claim, which was partially
offset by $2.3 million in transaction-related expenses. Other operating income in 2019 is primarily related to an insurance recovery.
Operating Loss. Our consolidated operating loss was $228.2 million in 2019, which included the impact of $198.7 million in non-cash goodwill and
fixed asset impairment charges discussed previously and $3.5 million of severance and downsizing charges. This compares to a consolidated operating loss of
$5.9 million in 2018, which included $11.4 million of costs associated with patent defense and settlement of FLSA claims, $3.3 million of transaction-related
expense and $1.6 million of severance and downsizing charges partially offset by the $3.9 million gain related to the insurance settlement discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $17.6 million in 2019, a decrease of $1.4 million from 2018. Interest expense, which includes
amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs, as a percentage of total average debt outstanding was approximately 6% in both 2019 and 2018.
Our contractual cash interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was substantially lower – averaging approximately 3% in both 2019 and 2018.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net, consisting primarily of gains recognized on the sale of property and equipment, was $5.1 million in 2019, an
increase of $2.0 million from 2018.
Income Tax. Our income tax benefit for 2019 was $8.9 million on a pre-tax loss of $240.7 million, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment
charge of $165.0 million and other expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. This compares to an income tax benefit for 2018 of $2.6 million on a
pre-tax loss of $21.7 million, which included a $5.8 million discrete tax benefit related to U.S. tax reform guidance as well as other discrete tax attributes.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive loss is the sum of the reported net income (loss) and other comprehensive income
(loss). Other comprehensive income was $3.7 million in 2019 compared to other comprehensive loss of $12.9 million in 2018 due to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For 2019 and 2018, currency
translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. In
2019, the exchange rate for the British
-40-
pound strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar. During 2018, the exchange rates for the
British pound and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Segment Operating Results
Well Site Services
Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues decreased $48.2 million, or 10%, in 2019 compared to 2018. Completion Services revenue
decreased $20.3 million, or 5%, due to a significant decrease in U.S. land-based customer drilling and completion activity following the decline in commodity
prices in the fourth quarter of 2018, partially offset by the impact of two additional months of revenue generated by the Falcon operations (acquired
February 28, 2018). Our Drilling Services revenues decreased $27.9 million, or 40%, to $41.3 million in 2019 from 2018 due to a reduction in customer
vertical drilling operations in 2019 and our exit of drilling operations in the West Texas region in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Operating Loss. Our Well Site Services segment operating loss increased $38.0 million in 2019 from 2018 due primarily to the $33.7 million non-cash
fixed asset impairment charge recorded in Drilling Services. Our Completion Services operating loss increased by $4.0 million in 2019 compared to 2018,
which included $3.0 million in charges (presented within cost of services) associated with additional reserves established for the final settlement of legacy
FLSA claims. Our Drilling Services operating loss increased $34.1 million in 2019 from 2018 due principally to the $33.7 million non-cash fixed asset
impairment charge discussed previously.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $31.5 million, or 15%, in 2019 compared to 2018 due primarily to a decline in U.S.
land-based customer completion activity, competitive pricing pressures for certain of its conventional perforating products and a market shift toward sales of
integrated perforating gun systems, which the segment did not commercialize until late 2019.
Operating Income (Loss). During 2019, our Downhole Technologies segment recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $165.0 million to reduce the
carrying value of goodwill. Excluding this charge, operating income declined $25.7 million in 2019 from 2018 due primarily to the decline in revenues
coupled with an expansion of field support operations, higher product and engineering costs and $1.4 million of inventory write-offs due to product design
changes. Prior-year results included $8.4 million in patent defense costs incurred after our acquisition of GEODynamics.
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $8.9 million, or 2%, in 2019 compared to 2018 with higher sales of project-
driven products partially offset by a decrease in sales of short-cycle products and other products and services.
Operating Income. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment operating income decreased $2.9 million, or 7%, in 2019 compared to 2018.
Operating results in 2019 included a $1.7 million provision for bad debt on a prior-year receivable from a customer claiming bankruptcy protection, while
results for 2018 included a gain of $3.9 million associated with an insurance settlement. To a lesser extent, reported segment results for 2019 and 2018 were
reduced by severance and downsizing-related expenses of $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
Backlog. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment improved during 2019, with
deepwater project awards increasing for a second consecutive year. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products increased 57% during 2019 to total
$280 million as of December 31, 2019. Orders totaled $523 million in 2019, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x.
Corporate
Expenses decreased $9.3 million, or 17%, in 2019 from 2018 due primarily to a $5.9 million year-over-year decrease in stock-based compensation, a
$1.6 million insurance benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $3.0 million in nonrecurring transaction-related expenses incurred during 2018 in
connection with the acquisitions of GEODynamics and Falcon.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $19.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which included $8.4 million ($6.6 million after-tax, or
$0.11 per diluted share) of charges related to legal fees incurred for patent defense and $3.0 million in reserves ($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted
share) for prior years' FLSA claim settlements, $3.3 million ($2.6 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) of transaction-related expenses and
$1.6 million ($1.3 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2018
the Company recognized a $5.8 million ($0.10 per diluted share) income tax benefit related to a change in its December 2017 provisional estimates with
respect to U.S. tax reform legislation.
These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $84.9 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, which included $3.4 million
($2.4 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) of severance and downsizing charges and $29.2 million ($0.58 per diluted share) of additional non-cash
income tax expense primarily related to U.S. tax law changes.
Our consolidated results of operations for 2018 included contributions from the GEODynamics and Falcon acquisitions completed in the first quarter of
2018 and reflected the impact of industry trends and customer spending activities which were directed toward growth in the U.S. shale play regions with a
general slowing of global investments in deepwater markets since the start of a prolonged industry downturn in 2014.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the price of crude oil fell approximately 40% – with WTI closing at $45 per barrel on December 28, 2018. This
precipitous decline in crude oil prices had a moderate negative impact on our fourth quarter 2018 consolidated results of operations, particularly in the U.S.
shale play regions.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues increased $417.5 million, or 62% in 2018 compared to 2017. Consolidated product revenues in 2018 increased
$198.0 million, or 65%, from 2017, reflecting contributions from the acquired GEODynamics operations. Consolidated service revenues for 2018 increased
$219.5 million, or 60%, from 2017 due principally to contributions from the acquired Falcon operations and higher customer-driven activity within the Well
Site Services and Offshore/Manufactured Products segments. As can be derived from the following table, 77% of our consolidated revenues in 2018 were
related to our short-cycle product and service offerings, which compared to 65% in 2017, due principally to contributions from our first quarter 2018
acquisitions and higher customer spending in the U.S. shale play regions.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization expense) increased $313.8 million, or 60%, in 2018 compared to 2017, due to costs associated with the acquisitions completed in the first quarter
of 2018 as well as activity-driven costs associated with revenue growth within the Well Site Services and Offshore/Manufactured Products segments.
Consolidated product costs in 2018 increased $147.0 million, or 67%, from 2017 due primarily to the GEODynamics Acquisition completed in first
quarter 2018. Consolidated service costs for 2018 increased $166.8 million, or 55%, from 2017 driven by the significant increase in service activity coupled
with the acquired Falcon operations.
-42-
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $23.3 million, or 20%, in 2018 from the prior-
year period primarily due to incremental expenses associated with the acquired GEODynamics operations (including $8.4 million of patent defense costs),
higher activity levels and $1.0 million of transaction-related costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15.9 million, or 15%, in 2018 compared to 2017 reflecting
the impact of the acquired GEODynamics and Falcon operations, which was partially offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated. Note 14, "Segments
and Related Information," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K presents depreciation and amortization
expense by segment.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net. Other operating (income) expense moved from an expense of $1.3 million in 2017 to income of $2.1 million
in 2018. During 2018, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment recognized a gain of $3.9 million in settlement of a Hurricane Harvey flood insurance
claim, which was partially offset by $2.3 million in transaction-related expenses. Other operating expense in the prior year was primarily related to foreign
currency exchange losses.
Operating Loss. Our consolidated operating loss was $5.9 million in 2018, which included $11.4 million of costs associated with patent defense and
settlement of FLSA claims, $3.3 million of transaction-related expense and $1.6 million of severance and downsizing charges partially offset by a
$3.9 million gain related to the insurance settlement discussed previously. This compares to a consolidated operating loss of $73.9 million in 2017, which
included $3.4 million of transaction-related, severance and facility closure charges. The majority of the year-over-year improvement in operating results
reflects contributions from the GEODynamics and Falcon acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2018 as well as the impact of growth in customer
spending activities which was primarily focused in the U.S. shale play regions.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $19.0 million in 2018, an increase of $14.7 million from 2017. This increase reflects our funding during
the first quarter of 2018 of $379.7 million in net acquisition consideration through borrowings under our revolving credit facility and issuance of the Notes.
Interest expense as a percentage of total average debt outstanding decreased from 17.3% in 2017 to 5.6% in 2018. Interest expense as a percentage of total
average debt outstanding in 2017 reflects lower average borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and an increased proportion of interest
expense associated with unused commitment fees and non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net, consisting primarily of gains recognized on the sale of property and equipment, was $3.1 million in 2018, an
increase of $2.4 million from 2017.
Income Tax. Our income tax benefit for 2018 was $2.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $21.7 million, which includes a $5.8 million discrete tax benefit
related to recent U.S. tax reform guidance allowing the carry back of U.S. net operating losses incurred in 2017 as well as other discrete tax attributes. This
compares to an income tax benefit for 2017 of $7.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $77.4 million (an income tax benefit of $21.8 million after excluding the
discrete charges discussed below).
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted Tax Reform Legislation which resulted in significant changes to U.S. tax and related law, including
certain key federal income tax provisions applicable to multinational companies such as ours. As a result of the tax law changes, we recorded $28.2 million of
incremental non-cash income tax expense related to the U.S. transition tax on our unremitted foreign subsidiary earnings and to provide valuation allowances
against our foreign tax credit carryforwards (which were recorded as assets prior to U.S. tax reform). Additionally, we re-measured our other U.S. deferred tax
assets and liabilities to reflect the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate which was reduced from 35% to 21%. We also recorded a discrete tax charge of
$1.0 million during 2017 related to the decision to carryback 2016 U.S. net operating losses against 2014 taxable income.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive loss is the sum of the reported net income (loss) and other comprehensive income
(loss). Other comprehensive loss was $12.9 million in 2018 compared to other comprehensive income of $11.8 million in 2017 due to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For 2018 and 2017, currency
translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil.
During 2018, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar. This compares to 2017, when the
exchange rates for the British pound strengthened and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.

Segment Operating Results
Well Site Services
Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $191.5 million, or 66%, in 2018 compared to 2017. This growth was concentrated in
Completion Services, where revenues increased $176.8 million, or 75%, reflecting revenue generated by the acquired Falcon operations and increased
completion-related activity in the United States. Our Drilling Services revenues increased $14.8 million, or 27%, to $69.2 million in 2018 from 2017
primarily as a result of improved dayrates for our land drilling rigs and a higher level of third-party costs reimbursed by our customers.
Operating Loss. With higher revenues, our Well Site Services segment operating loss declined $42.1 million, or 71%, in 2018 from 2017. Well Site
Services segment revenues and cost of services for 2018 increased 66% and 59%, respectively, from the prior year, with other costs and expenses remaining
relatively consistent. Our Completion Services operating loss improved $37.5 million, or 83%, in 2018 compared to 2017, due to increased completion-
related activity levels in the United States coupled with ten months of contributions from the acquired Falcon operations. 2018 results include $3.0 million in
charges (presented within cost of services) associated with additional reserves established for the final settlement of historical FLSA claims. During 2017,
reported results included $1.1 million of severance and downsizing costs. Our Drilling Services operating loss declined $4.5 million, or 33%, in 2018 from
2017 primarily as a result of the reported revenue growth.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues were $213.8 million in 2018 reflecting the activity of the GEODynamics operations acquired
in January 2018.
Operating Income. Our Downhole Technologies segment operating income was $26.7 million in 2018. Reported results were negatively impacted by
$8.4 million of patent defense costs. The legal actions were settled in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $12.2 million, or 3%, in 2018 compared to 2017 as a result of higher sales
of other products and service offerings. Service revenue increased 28% from the prior year's level driven by higher customer demand while project-driven
products revenues decreased 5% year-over-year due to lower sales of production and subsea equipment, which was partially offset by higher sales of our
standard connector products.
Operating Income. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment operating income increased $0.8 million, or 2%, in 2018 compared to 2017 as a result
of a gain of $3.9 million recognized upon the settlement of a Hurricane Harvey flood insurance claim during 2018. The impact of the shift in sales mix from
2017 to 2018 offset the impact of the reported revenue growth and the insurance gains discussed above. To a lesser extent, reported segment results for 2018
and 2017 were reduced by severance and downsizing-related expenses of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Backlog. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment continued in 2018, albeit at a
substantially slower pace than in recent years. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products increased 6% during 2018 to total $179 million as of
December 31, 2018, with a book to bill ratio of 1.1x for the year.
Corporate
Expenses increased $1.5 million, or 3%, in 2018 from 2017 due to $3.0 million in transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the first
quarter 2018 acquisitions of GEODynamics and Falcon.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund operating and capital expenditures, which in the past have included expanding and upgrading our
Offshore/Manufactured Products and Downhole Technologies manufacturing facilities and equipment, replacing and increasing Completion Services assets,
funding new product development and general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to repay debt, fund strategic business acquisitions and
fund our stock repurchase program. Our primary sources of funds have been cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under our credit facilities
and capital market transactions.
The crude oil and natural gas industry is highly cyclical which may result in declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products and services, the
inability or failure of our customers to meet their obligations to us or a sustained decline in our market capitalization. These and other potentially adverse
market conditions could require us to incur additional asset impairment charges, record additional deferred tax valuation allowances and/or further write down
the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets, and may otherwise adversely impact our results of operations, our cash flows and our financial position.
See Note 4, "Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts," and Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further information.
Operating Activities
Cash flows totaling $137.4 million were provided by operations during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $103.2 million provided by
operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.
During 2019, $39.3 million was provided by net working capital decreases, with a reduction in accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in
inventories. During 2018, $22.9 million used to fund working capital increases primarily associated with activity-driven growth in accounts receivable and
inventories.
Investing Activities
A total of $52.0 million in cash was used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $461.4 million used during 2018.
Capital expenditures totaled $56.1 million and $88.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures in
both years consisted principally of purchases of Completion Services equipment, expansion and upgrading of our Downhole Technologies and
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment facilities and equipment as well as various other capital spending initiatives.
On January 12, 2018, we acquired GEODynamics for a purchase price consisting of (i) $295.4 million in cash (net of cash acquired), which we funded
through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) approximately 8.66 million shares of our common stock (having a market value of
$294.9 million as of the closing date) and (iii) an unsecured $25.0 million promissory note.
On February 28, 2018, we acquired Falcon for cash consideration of $84.2 million (net of cash acquired), which we funded from borrowings under our
Revolving Credit Facility.
We expect to spend between $40 million and $45 million in total capital expenditures during 2020 to replace and upgrade our Completion Services
equipment, to expand and maintain our Downhole Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products facilities and equipment, and to fund various other
capital spending projects. Whether planned expenditures will actually be spent in 2020 depends on industry conditions, project approvals and schedules,
vendor delivery timing, free cash flow generation and careful monitoring of our levels of liquidity. We plan to fund these capital expenditures with available
cash, internally generated funds and, if necessary, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing capital expenditure expectations do not
include any funds that might be spent on future strategic acquisitions, which the Company could pursue depending on the economic environment in our
industry and the availability of transactions at prices deemed attractive to the Company.
At December 31, 2019, we had cash totaling $8.5 million. With the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, we repatriated
$14.5 million and $45.0 million of cash held by our international subsidiaries to reduce borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility during
2019 and 2018, respectively, without triggering incremental tax expense.
-45-
Financing Activities
Net cash of $95.9 million was used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily associated with the net repayment of
$84.2 million in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the repurchase at a discount of $7.8 million in principal amount of the Notes for
$6.7 million. Net cash of $324.1 million was provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of our issuance
of $200.0 million of 1.50% convertible senior notes and net borrowings of $136.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund acquisitions.
As discussed above, during 2019 we used $90.9 million of our $137.4 million in cash flows from operating activities to reduce our outstanding debt
level. As of December 31, 2019, we had principal outstanding of $51.9 million under our Revolving Credit Facility (due in January 2022, if not repaid in part
or in full in advance) and $192.3 million under our Notes (due in February 2023, if not repurchased in part or in full in advance). Our reported interest
expense, which appropriately includes amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs of $7.9 million, is substantially above our contractual cash
interest expense – reflective primarily of the Notes which provide for a cash interest payment of 1.5% per annum. For 2019, our contractual interest expense
was $10.0 million, or approximately 3% of the average principal balance of debt outstanding.
On January 12, 2018, we partially funded the GEODynamics Acquisition through borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. On
January 30, 2018, we issued $200.0 million in principal amount of our Notes due February 2023 and entered into our Revolving Credit Facility, to extend the
maturity of the facility to January 30, 2022 and provide for total lender commitments of $350 million. Net proceeds from the Notes offering of approximately
$194.0 million, after deducting discounts and estimated expenses, were used to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our
liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, or if we make acquisitions, we may need to raise
additional capital. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We
may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Our ability to obtain capital for additional projects to
implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend upon our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the
availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial
markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Revolving Credit Facility. Our Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a credit agreement dated as of January 30, 2018, as amended, (the "Credit
Agreement") by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto and
collateral agent for the secured parties thereunder, and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto. Our Revolving Credit
Facility provides for up to $350 million in lender commitments with an option to increase the maximum borrowings to $500 million subject to additional
lender commitments and matures on January 30, 2022. Under our Revolving Credit Facility, $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. See
Note 7, "Long-term Debt," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further information regarding the terms
of the Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $51.9 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $19.3 million of outstanding letters of credit,
leaving $131.1 million available to be drawn. The total amount available to be drawn was less than the lender commitments as of December 31, 2019, due to
limits imposed by maintenance covenants in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with our debt covenants and expect to
continue to be in compliance over the next twelve months.
1.50% Convertible Senior Notes. On January 30, 2018, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes pursuant to an indenture,
dated as of January 30, 2018 (the "Indenture"), between us and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. Net proceeds, after deducting discounts and expenses,
were approximately $194.0 million.
During 2019, we repurchased $7.8 million in principal amount of the outstanding notes for $6.7 million, which approximated the carrying amount of the
related liability.
The initial carrying amount of the Notes recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2018 was less than the $200.0 million in principal
amount of the Notes, in accordance with applicable accounting principles, reflective of the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have
a conversion feature. We recorded the value of the conversion feature of $34.4 million as a debt discount, which is amortized as interest expense over the term
of the Notes, with a similar amount allocated to additional paid-in capital. As a result of this amortization of debt discount, the interest expense we recognize
related to the Notes for accounting purposes is based on an effective interest rate of approximately 6%, which is greater than the cash interest payments we
are obligated to pay on the Notes. Interest expense associated with the Notes for 2019 and 2018 was $10.2 million and $9.0 million,
-46-
respectively, while the related cash interest expense was $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, none of the conditions
allowing holders of the Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the Notes, had been met. See Note 7, "Long-term Debt," to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further information regarding the Notes.
Promissory Note. In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, we issued a $25.0 million promissory note that bears interest at 2.5% per annum
and was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019. Payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in full or in part, against certain claims related
to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of GEODynamics. As more fully described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K, we have provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the seller of
GEODynamics. As a result, the maturity date of the note is extended until the resolution of the indemnity claim. We expect that the amount ultimately paid in
respect of such note will be reduced as a result of these indemnification claims.
Our total debt represented 16.9% of our combined total debt and stockholders' equity at December 31, 2019 compared to 18.7% at December 31, 2018.
Stock Repurchase Program. We maintain a share repurchase program which was extended to July 29, 2020 by our Board of Directors. During 2019, we
repurchased approximately 51 thousand shares of our common stock under the program at a total cost of $0.8 million. During 2018, there were no
repurchases of our common stock under the program. In 2017, 562 thousand shares of our common stock were repurchased under the program at a total cost
of $16.2 million. The amount remaining under our current share repurchase authorization as of December 31, 2019 was $119.8 million. Subject to applicable
securities laws, any purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate.
Contractual Obligations. The following summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2019, and the effect such obligations are expected to
have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

____________________
(1) Excludes interest on the variable-rate debt, which matures in January 2022. Since we cannot predict with any certainty the amount of interest due on our revolving debt
due to the expected variability of interest rates and principal amounts outstanding, we do not include this in our obligations. If we assume interest payment amounts are
calculated using the outstanding principal balances and interest rates as of December 31, 2019 and include applicable commitment fees, estimated interest payments on
our variable-rate debt would be $2.4 million "due in less than one year" and $2.6 million "due in one to three years." See Note 7, "Long-term Debt," to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Facility.
(2) Amount represents the full principal amount of the Notes together with cash interest payments due semi-annually.
(3) Amount represents the full principal amount of the $25 million promissory note together with accrued and unpaid interest as of February 21, 2020. The $25 million
promissory note (together with accrued and unpaid interest) issued in connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019.
Payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in full or in part, against certain claims related to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of
GEODynamics. As more fully described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on
Form 10‑K, we have provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the seller of GEODynamics. As a result, the maturity date of the note is extended until
the resolution of these indemnity claims. We expect that the amount ultimately paid in respect of such note will be reduced as a result of these indemnification claims.
(4) Amount represents the payment obligations (including implied interest) for operating leases with an initial term of greater than 12 months.
(5) The purchase obligations of the Company primarily relate to open purchase orders in our Offshore/Manufactured Products and Completion Services operations.

Effects of Inflation
Our revenues and results of operations have not been materially impacted by inflation in the past three fiscal years.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S‑K.
Tariffs
We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. In
2018, the United States imposed tariffs on a variety of imported products, including steel and aluminum. In response to the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum,
the European Union and several other countries, including Canada and China, have threatened and/or imposed retaliatory tariffs. The effect of these new
tariffs and the application and interpretation of existing trade agreements and customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations continues to evolve,
and we continue to monitor these matters. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products, or if the prices we have to pay
for these products increase further as a result of customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations or otherwise and we are unable to pass
corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with
respect to potential costs in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred,
would adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional discussion.
Tax Matters
See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 9, "Income Taxes," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information with respect to tax matters.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which require that management make numerous estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions, thus impacting our reported results of operations and financial position. The critical accounting policies and estimates
described in this section are those that are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations and the application of which
requires management's most subjective judgments in making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We describe our significant
accounting policies more fully in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual
Report on Form 10‑K.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
Our goodwill totaled $482.3 million, representing 28% of our total assets as of December 31, 2019. Our long-lived tangible assets totaled $459.7 million
as of December 31, 2019, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $230.1 million, representing 13% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely
consisted of cash, accounts receivable and inventories.
In accordance with current accounting guidance, we do not amortize goodwill, but rather assess goodwill for impairment annually on December 1 and
when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds
its fair value, goodwill is considered to be impaired and an impairment loss is recorded. We have three reporting units – Completion Services, Downhole
Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products – with goodwill balances totaling $646.7 million as of September 30, 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, U.S. land-based completion activity declined significantly from levels experienced over the previous three quarters.
Additionally, a number of other market indicators declined to levels not experienced in recent years. For example, in October 2019, the Philadelphia Oil
Services Index average price declined to a level not reported since 1999 and the average U.S. rig count was 20% below the level observed a year prior.
Consistent with other oilfield service industry peers, our common stock price declined and our market capitalization was below the carrying value of
stockholders' equity. Given current market conditions, we reduced our near-term outlook for demand related to our short-cycle products and services in the
U.S. shale play regions. This refined outlook was incorporated in the December 1, 2019 annual impairment assessment, which indicated that the fair value of
the Downhole Technologies segment was less than its carrying amount.
-48-
For our annual quantitative impairment test of goodwill on December 1, 2019, we estimated the fair value of each reporting unit and compared that fair
value to its recorded carrying value. As none of our reporting units have publicly quoted market prices, we determined the value that willing buyers and
sellers would place on each reporting unit in a routine sale process (a Level 3 fair value measurement). In our analysis, we targeted a valuation that would be
placed on the reporting unit by market participants based on historical and projected operating results throughout a full market cycle, not the value of the
reporting unit based on trough or peak operating results. We utilized, based on circumstances, a combination of trading multiples analyses, projected
discounted cash flow calculations with estimated terminal values and acquisition comparables. We discounted our projected cash flows using a long-term
weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit based on our estimate of investment returns that would be required by a market participant. The fair
value of our reporting units is primarily affected by expectations regarding future crude oil and natural gas prices, anticipated spending by our customers,
income tax rates and the cost of capital. We also compared the total market capitalization of the Company to the sum of the fair values of all of our reporting
units to assess the reasonableness of the aggregated fair value.
Our assessment led us to conclude that the goodwill amount recorded in our Downhole Technologies reporting unit was partially impaired and we
therefore recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Following the impairment charge, our Downhole
Technologies reporting unit did not have a fair value substantially in excess of its carrying amount. The fair value of our Completion Services and
Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by 24% and 38%, respectively, as of December 1, 2019.
The discount rates used to value our reporting units ranged between 12.5% and 13.0%. Holding all other assumptions and inputs used in each of the
respective discounted cash flow analysis constant, a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption would have increased the goodwill impairment
charge by approximately $28 million.
As of December 31, 2019, our market capitalization was $987 million, or $237 million below our equity carrying value.
As discussed above, our annual assessment has appropriately considered the impact of the current market environment and industry outlook by using
projected discounted cash flows reflecting expected market conditions at December 1, 2019 in estimating the fair value of our reporting units. The underlying
fundamentals supporting the crude oil and natural gas markets continue to support long-term crude oil demand growth and the need for additional crude oil
production. We continue to monitor commodity prices and other significant assumptions used in our forecasts. If we experience a prolonged decline in long-
term demand for crude oil and natural gas or significant and sustained increases in commodity supplies, which serve to depress commodity prices over the
long term, we will be required to update our discounted cash flow analysis and potentially be required to record a goodwill impairment in the future.
Furthermore, if our market capitalization remains below our book value for a sustained period of time and the implied fair value of our equity is not
reasonably supported by equity control premiums, we will need to consider updating our assessment.
An assessment for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is conducted whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate a loss in
value may have occurred. Indicators of impairment might include persistent negative economic trends affecting the markets we serve, recurring losses or
lowered expectations of future cash flows to be generated by our assets. When necessary, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on quoted
market prices, if available, or on our judgment as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their estimated useful lives.
Based on our December 2019 impairment assessment, the carrying values of our long-lived tangible and intangible asset groups are recoverable and no
impairment losses were recorded. However, industry cyclicality and downturns may result in future changes to our estimates of projected operating cash
flows, or their timing, and could potentially cause future impairment to the values of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
As further discussed in Note 3, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form
10‑K, we account for revenue in accordance with Financial and Accounting Standards Board guidance on revenue from contracts with customers ("ASC
606"), which we adopted on January 1, 2018. The new guidance did not have a material impact on our recognition of revenues.
Our revenue contracts may include one or more promises to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, which is referred to under ASC 606 as a
"performance obligation," and to which revenue is allocated. We recognize revenue and the related cost when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.
The majority of our significant contracts for custom engineered products have a single performance obligation as no individual good or service is separately
identifiable from other performance obligations in the contracts. For contracts with multiple distinct performance obligations, we allocate revenue to the
identified performance obligations in the contract. Our product sales terms do not include significant post-performance obligations.
-49-
Our performance obligations may be satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenues from goods and services transferred to
customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 34%, 29% and 22% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and
2017, respectively. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is derived from short-term contracts for standard products offered by us.
Revenue on these contracts is recognized when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Indicators we consider in determining when transfer
of control to the customer occurs include: right to payment for the product, transfer of legal title to the customer, transfer of physical possession of the
product, transfer of risk and customer acceptance of the product.
Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 66%, 71% and 78% of consolidated revenues for
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The majority of our revenue recognized over time is for services provided under short-term
contracts with revenue recognized as the customer receives and consumes the services provided by our segments. In addition, we manufacture certain
products to individual customer specifications under short-term contracts for which control passes to the customer as the performance obligations are fulfilled
and for which revenue is recognized over time.
For significant project-related contracts involving custom engineered products within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment (also referred to as
"project-driven products"), revenues are typically recognized over time using an input measure such as the percentage of costs incurred to date relative to total
estimated costs at completion for each contract (cost-to-cost method). Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Management believes this method
is the most appropriate measure of progress on large contracts. Billings on such contracts in excess of costs incurred and estimated profits are classified as a
contract liability (deferred revenue). Costs incurred and estimated profits in excess of billings on these contracts are recognized as a contract asset (a
component of accounts receivable).
Contract estimates for project-related contracts involving custom engineered products are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future
events that may span several years. Changes in assumptions that may affect future project costs and margins include production efficiencies, the complexity
of the work to be performed and the availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents.
As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, contract-related estimates are reviewed regularly.
We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit
recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the
adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss will be incurred on the contract, the loss is recognized in the
period it is identified.
Cost of goods sold includes all direct material and labor costs and those costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and
repairs. As presented on our consolidated statements of operations, costs of goods sold excludes depreciation and amortization expense. Selling, general and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that we collect from
a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a
customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products.
Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost downhole are reflected as gains or losses on the disposition of
assets after considering the write-off of the remaining net book value of the equipment.
Purchase Price Allocation of Acquisitions
We allocate the fair value of the purchase price consideration of an acquired business to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair
values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. We use available information
to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, the carrying value of acquired assets, and widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted
cash flows. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, as well as intangible assets that relate to such items as customer relationships,
technology and know-how, trade names and non-compete agreements involves significant professional judgment and is ultimately based on acquisition
models and management's assessment of the value of the assets acquired, and to the extent available, third-party assessments. The judgments made in
determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, could materially impact our results
of operations.
-50-
Accounting for Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities and future claims for which we have made estimates of the amount of the eventual cost to liquidate such liabilities or
claims. These liabilities and claims sometimes involve threatened or actual litigation where damages have been quantified and we have made an assessment
of our exposure and recorded in an amount estimated to cover an expected loss. Other claims or liabilities have been estimated based on their fair value or our
experience in these matters and, when appropriate, the advice of outside counsel or other outside experts. Upon the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties,
our future reported financial results will be impacted by the difference between our estimates and the actual amounts paid to settle a liability. Examples of
areas where we have made important estimates of future liabilities include duties, income taxes, litigation, insurance claims and contractual claims and
obligations.
Estimation of Useful Lives
The selection of the useful lives of many of our assets requires the judgments of our operating personnel. Our judgment in this area is influenced by our
historical experience in operating our assets, technological developments and expectations of future demand for the assets. Should our estimates be too long
or short, we might eventually report a disproportionate number of losses or gains upon disposition or retirement of our long-lived assets. We believe our
estimates of useful lives are appropriate.
Income Taxes
We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with current accounting standards regarding the accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded based upon the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect at the time the underlying assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.
On December 22, 2017, Tax Reform Legislation was signed into law which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including certain key
U.S. federal income tax provisions applicable to oilfield service and manufacturing companies such as the Company. U.S. state or other regulatory bodies
have not finalized potential changes to existing laws and regulations which may result from the new U.S. tax and related laws. In accordance with the SEC's
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, we recorded provisional estimates to reflect the effect of the Tax Reform Legislation on our income tax assets and
liabilities as of December 31, 2017. During 2018, we adjusted these provisional estimates based on additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Prior to December 22, 2017, the majority of our earnings from international subsidiaries were considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the
United States and no provision for U.S. income taxes was made for these earnings. However, certain historical foreign earnings were not considered to be
indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and were subject to U.S income tax as earned. If any of our subsidiaries distributed earnings in the form of
dividends or otherwise, we generally were subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable
to various foreign countries.
As of December 31, 2019, our total investment, including earnings and profits, in foreign subsidiaries is considered to be permanently reinvested.
We record a valuation allowance in the reporting period when management believes that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset will not be
realized. This assessment requires analysis of changes in tax laws, available positive and negative evidence, including consideration of losses in recent years,
reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future income, assessment of future business and tax planning strategies. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we
recorded valuation allowances primarily with respect to net operating loss carryforwards of certain of our operations outside the United States. As a result of
changes in U.S. tax laws in 2017, we recorded a valuation allowance on our foreign tax credit carryforwards during the fourth quarter of 2017.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves assessing uncertainties regarding the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for tax
expenses based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is
unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We record
an additional charge in our provision for taxes in the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is less than we expect the ultimate
assessment to be.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), which are adopted by us as
of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk refers to the potential for losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and exchange rates, equity prices and
commodity prices including the correlation among these factors and their volatility.
Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative instruments only to
the extent considered necessary to meet risk management objectives and do not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk. We have a revolving credit facility that is subject to the risk of higher interest charges associated with increases in interest rates. As
of December 31, 2019, we had $51.9 million in floating-rate obligations drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The use of floating-rate obligations
exposes us to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. If the floating interest rates increased by 1% from
December 31, 2019 levels, our consolidated interest expense would increase by a total of approximately $0.5 million annually.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world and we receive revenue from these
operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are
denominated in (i) currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currency of our subsidiaries, which is not
necessarily the U.S. dollar. In order to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate risks in areas outside of the United States (primarily in our
Offshore/Manufactured Products segment), we generally pay a portion of our expenses in local currencies and a substantial portion of our contracts provide
for collections from customers in U.S. dollars. During 2019, our reported foreign currency exchange losses were $0.1 million and are included in "Other
operating (income) expense, net" in the consolidated statements of operations. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, we may enter into foreign currency exchange agreements with financial institutions. No foreign currency contracts were outstanding as of December 31,
2019 or 2018.
Our accumulated other comprehensive loss, reported as a component of stockholders' equity, decreased from $71.4 million at December 31, 2018 to
$67.7 million at December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of foreign currency exchange rate differences in the current year of $3.5 million. This other
comprehensive income is primarily related to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international
operations of our reportable segments. During 2019, the exchange rate of the British pound strengthened by 4% compared to the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian
real weakened by 4% compared to the U.S. dollar. During 2018, the exchange rate of the British pound and the Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar
weakened by 6% and 14%, respectively.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data of the Company begin on page 59 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K and are
incorporated by reference into this Item 8. Selected quarterly financial data is set forth in Note 18, "Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)," to our
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There were no changes in or disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or financial statement disclosure between us and our independent
registered public accounting firm during our two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(i) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10‑K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure
and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019 at the
reasonable assurance level.
-52-
Pursuant to section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided certain certifications
to the SEC. These certifications accompanied this report when filed with the SEC, but are not set forth herein.
(ii) Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(a) Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-
15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our
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 consolidated 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. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an assessment of
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 was conducted. In making this assessment, management used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013
Framework). Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2019, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on
those criteria.
The effectiveness of Oil States’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, as described below.
(b) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.
The attestation report of Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting is set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K on page 62 and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
There was no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8‑K during the fourth quarter of 2019 that was not reported on a Form 8‑K during
such time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Oil States International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oil States International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and
2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 21, 2020 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the
critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment - Downhole Technologies
Description of the
Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually on December 1 and
when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Based on this quantitative
assessment, the Company concluded that the goodwill amount recorded in its Downhole Technologies reporting unit was partially
impaired and recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. As reflected in the Company's
consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2019, the Company's goodwill was $192.5 million in the Downhole Technologies
reporting unit.
Auditing management's goodwill impairment test for the Company's reporting unit was subjective and required the involvement of
specialists due to the significant measurement uncertainty in determining the fair value of the reporting unit. In particular, the fair value
estimate attributable to the income approach was sensitive to changes in significant assumptions such as the estimated future net
annual cash flows and the discount rate, both of which are affected by published industry trends and market forecasts of commodity
prices, rig count, well count, and onshore drilling and completion spending.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's goodwill
impairment assessment process. For example, we tested controls over the Company's forecasting process as well as controls over
management's review of the significant assumptions in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and the related evaluation of
management's specialist.
To test the fair value of the reporting unit, specifically using the income approach, our audit procedures included assessing the
methodologies and testing the significant assumptions and underlying data used by the Company. We evaluated the Company's
forecast by comparing the significant assumptions to current industry and economic trends, and also by assessing the historical
accuracy of management's estimates. For example, we evaluated the forecasted revenue by analyzing trends in market growth and
related margin assumptions as well as changes in estimates compared to historical results. In addition, we also performed sensitivity
analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate changes in the fair value of the reporting unit resulting from changes in the
assumptions. We also involved a valuation specialist to assist in evaluating the significant assumptions in the fair value estimate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Oil States International, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Oil States International, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO
criteria). In our opinion, Oil States International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and related notes, and our report dated February 21, 2020 expressed
an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's 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 the accompanying Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (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.

OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Oil States International, Inc. ("Oil States" or the "Company") and its consolidated
subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity
method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain prior-year amounts in the Company's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of specialty products and services to oil and gas companies throughout the world. The
Company operates in a substantial number of the world's active crude oil and natural gas producing regions, including: onshore and offshore United States,
West Africa, the North Sea, the Middle East, South America and Southeast and Central Asia.
The Company operates through three business segments – Well Site Services, Downhole Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products. On
January 12, 2018, the Company acquired GEODynamics, Inc., ("GEODynamics" and the "GEODynamics Acquisition"). These acquired operations are
reported as the Downhole Technologies segment. On February 28, 2018, the Company acquired Falcon Flowback Services, LLC ("Falcon"), which was
integrated into the Completion Services business unit. There have been no other changes in reporting structure.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of
estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples of a few such
estimates include goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, revenue and income recognized over time, valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets,
the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and identification of associated goodwill and intangible assets, reserves on inventory, allowances for doubtful
accounts and potential future adjustments related to contractual indemnification and other agreements. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, payables, debt instruments and foreign currency forward contracts.
The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments, other than its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes") described in Note 7,
"Long-term Debt," on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values. The estimated fair value of the Notes as of December 31,
2019 was $173.9 million, based on quoted market prices (a Level 1 fair value measurement), which compares to $192.3 million in principal amount of
the Notes.
Inventories
Inventories consist of consumable oilfield products, manufactured equipment, spare parts for manufactured equipment, and work-in-process. Inventories
also include raw materials, labor, subcontractor charges, manufacturing overhead and supplies and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, or
estimated fair market value at acquisition date if acquired in a business combination. The cost of inventories is determined on an average cost or specific-
identification method. A reserve for excess and/or obsolete inventory is maintained based on the age, turnover or condition of the inventory.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost or at estimated fair market value at acquisition date if acquired in a business combination, and
depreciation is computed, for assets owned or recorded under finance lease, using the straight-line method, after allowing for estimated salvage value where
applicable, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset.

OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the
useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statements of operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for acquired businesses over the allocated fair value of the related net assets after impairments,
if applicable. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually on December 1 and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Reporting units with goodwill as of December 31, 2019 include Completion Services, Downhole Technologies and
Offshore/Manufactured Products. In the evaluation of goodwill, each reporting unit with goodwill on its balance sheet is assessed separately and different
relevant events and circumstances are evaluated for each unit. Management estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and compares that fair value to its
recorded carrying value. Management utilizes, depending on circumstances, a combination of valuation methodologies including a market approach and an
income approach, as well as guideline public company comparables. Projected cash flows are discounted using a long-term weighted average cost of capital
for each reporting unit based on estimates of investment returns that would be required by a market participant. As part of the process of assessing goodwill
for potential impairment, the total market capitalization of the Company is compared to the sum of the fair values of all reporting units to assess the
reasonableness of aggregated fair values. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment
loss is recorded. As further discussed in Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company concluded that goodwill recorded in its Downhole
Technologies segment was partially impaired during the fourth quarter of 2019 and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $165.0 million. The goodwill
impairment test performed as of December 1, 2019 indicated that the fair value of each of the other reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. No other
goodwill impairment losses have been recorded for the periods presented.
For other amortized intangible assets, the useful life of the intangible asset is reviewed and evaluated each reporting period for events and circumstances
that may warrant a revision of the remaining useful life. Based on the Company's review, the carrying values of its other intangible assets are recoverable, and
no impairment losses have been recorded for the periods presented.
See Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets at the asset group level, including finite-lived intangible assets, is assessed whenever, in
management's judgment, events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset groups may not be recoverable based on estimated
future cash flows. If this assessment indicates that the carrying values will not be recoverable, as determined based on undiscounted cash flows over the
remaining useful lives, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss, if any, equals the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset
group. The fair value of the asset group is based on appraised values, prices of similar assets (if available), or discounted cash flows. As further discussed in
Note 4, “Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts,” the Company reduced the carrying value of its vertical drilling rigs in the third quarter of 2019 to the
estimated salvage or fair value and recorded a non-cash fixed asset impairment charge of $33.7 million. No additional impairment losses have been recorded
for the periods presented.
Leases
The Company leases a portion of its facilities, office space, equipment and vehicles under contracts which provide it with the right to control identified
assets. Following adoption of the new lease accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes the right to use identified assets under
operating leases (with an initial term of greater than 12 months) as operating lease assets and the related obligations to make payments under the lease
arrangements as operating lease liabilities. Consistent with the Company's historical practice, finance lease obligations, which are not material, are classified
within long-term debt while related assets are included within property, plant and equipment. Lease assets and liabilities are recorded at the commencement
date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are
generally accounted for as a single lease component. Most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. Therefore, the Company's
incremental borrowing rate, based on available information at the lease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of lease payments.
-69-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Most of the Company's operating leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years.
The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of lease-related assets and leasehold improvements are limited
by the expected lease term. Certain operating lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company's operating lease
agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. While the Company rents or subleases certain real estate to
third parties, such amounts are not material. Cash outflows related to operating leases are presented within cash flows from operations.
Research and Development Costs
Costs incurred internally in researching and developing products are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the
product. Research and development expense totaled $7.0 million, $6.6 million and $5.3 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Loss
Gains and losses resulting from balance sheet translation of international operations where the local currency is the functional currency are included as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity and represent substantially all of the accumulated other comprehensive loss
balance. Remeasurements of intercompany advances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that are of a long-term
investment nature are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from balance
sheet remeasurements of assets and liabilities denominated in a different currency than the functional currency, other than intercompany advances that are of a
long-term investment nature, are included in the consolidated statements of operations within "other operating (income) expense, net" as incurred and were
not material during the periods presented.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A portion of revenues, earnings and net investments in operations outside the United States are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. The
Company seeks to manage its currency exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing expected local currency revenues in relation to
local currency costs and local currency assets in relation to local currency liabilities. In order to reduce exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
the Company may enter into currency exchange agreements with financial institutions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no outstanding
foreign currency forward purchase contracts.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial and Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on revenue from contracts with
customers ("ASC 606"), which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2018. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's
recognition of revenues.
The Company's revenue contracts may include one or more promises to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, which is referred to under
ASC 606 as a "performance obligation," and to which revenue is allocated. The Company recognizes revenue and the related cost when, or as, the
performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of significant contracts for custom engineered products have a single performance obligation as no
individual good or service is separately identifiable from other performance obligations in the contracts. For contracts with multiple distinct performance
obligations, the Company allocates revenue to the identified performance obligations in the contract. The Company's product sales terms do not include
significant post-performance obligations.
The Company's performance obligations may be satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenues from products and services
transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 34%, 29% and 22% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018 and 2017, respectively. The majority of the Company's revenue recognized at a point in time is derived from short-term contracts for standard products.
Revenue on these contracts is recognized when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Indicators the Company considers in determining
when transfer of control to the customer occurs include: right to payment for the product, transfer of legal title to the customer, transfer of physical possession
of the product, transfer of risk and customer acceptance of the product.
Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 66%, 71% and 78% of consolidated revenues for
the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The majority of the Company's revenue recognized over time is for services provided under
short-term contracts with revenue recognized as the customer receives and
-70-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
consumes the services. In addition, the Company manufactures certain products to individual customer specifications under short-term contracts for which
control passes to the customer as the performance obligations are fulfilled and for which, under the new standard, revenue is recognized over time.
For significant project-related contracts involving custom engineered products within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment (also referred to as
"project-driven products"), revenues are typically recognized over time using an input measure such as the percentage of costs incurred to date relative to total
estimated costs at completion for each contract (cost-to-cost method). Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Management believes this method
is the most appropriate measure of progress on large contracts. Billings on such contracts in excess of costs incurred and estimated profits are classified as a
contract liability (deferred revenue). Costs incurred and estimated profits in excess of billings on these contracts are recognized as a contract asset (a
component of accounts receivable).
Contract estimates for project-related contracts involving custom engineered products are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future
events that may span several years. Changes in assumptions that may affect future project costs and margins include production efficiencies, the complexity
of the work to be performed and the availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates
could affect the profitability of the Company's contracts, contract-related estimates are reviewed regularly. The Company recognizes adjustments in estimated
costs and profits on contracts in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the
adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss will be incurred on the contract, the full loss is recognized in
the period it is identified.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected
by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has
transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products.
Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost downhole are reflected as gains or losses on the disposition of
assets after considering the write-off of the remaining net book value of the equipment.
Product costs and service costs include all direct material and labor costs and those costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies,
tools and repairs. As disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations, product costs and service costs exclude depreciation and amortization expense
and impairment of fixed assets, which are separately presented. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $159.1 million of remaining backlog related to contracts with an original expected duration of greater than
one year. Approximately 42% of this remaining backlog is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2020 and the balance thereafter.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded based upon the
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect at the time the
underlying assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.
As further discussed in Note 9, "Income Taxes," on December 22, 2017, legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform
Legislation") was signed into law which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including certain key U.S. federal income tax provisions
applicable to oilfield service and manufacturing companies such as the Company. U.S. state or other regulatory bodies have not finalized potential changes to
existing laws and regulations which may result from the new U.S. tax and related laws. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company recorded provisional estimates to reflect the effect of the Tax Reform Legislation on the Company's income tax
assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. During 2018, the Company adjusted these provisional estimates based upon additional guidance issued by the
Internal Revenue Service.
Prior to December 22, 2017, the majority of the Company's earnings from international subsidiaries were considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside
of the United States and no provision for U.S. income taxes was made for these earnings. However, certain historical foreign earnings were not considered to
be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and were subject to U.S income tax as earned. If any of the Company's subsidiaries distributed earnings
in the form of dividends or otherwise, the
-71-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Company generally was subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to various foreign
countries.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company's total investment in foreign subsidiaries is considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States.
The Company accounts for the U.S. tax effect of global intangible low-taxed income earned by foreign subsidiaries in the period that such income is earned.
The Company records a valuation allowance in the reporting period when management believes that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset
will not be realized. This assessment requires analysis of changes in tax laws as well as available positive and negative evidence, including consideration of
losses in recent years, reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future income and assessment of future business and tax planning strategies. During
2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded valuation allowances primarily with respect to net operating loss carryforwards of certain operations outside the
United States. As a result of the changes in U.S. tax laws in 2017 discussed above, the Company also recorded a valuation allowance on its foreign tax credit
carryforwards during the fourth quarter of 2017.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves assessing uncertainties regarding the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities
for tax expenses based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If management ultimately determines that payment of
these amounts is unnecessary, the liability is reversed and a tax benefit is recognized during the period in which management determines that the liability is no
longer necessary. An additional charge is recorded as a provision for taxes in the period in which management determines that the recorded tax liability is less
than the expected ultimate assessment.
Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk
Based on the nature of its customer base, the Company does not believe that it has any significant concentrations of credit risk other than its
concentration in the worldwide oil and gas industry. Note 15, "Segments and Related Information," provides further information with respect to the
Company's geographic revenues and significant customers. The Company evaluates the credit-worthiness of its significant, new and existing customers'
financial condition and, generally, the Company does not require significant collateral from its customers.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customers requires us to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for
doubtful accounts are determined based on a continuous process of assessing our portfolio on an individual customer basis taking into account current and
expected future market conditions and trends. This process consists of a thorough review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the
customer accounts, and financial condition of our customers. Based on a review of these factors, we will establish or adjust allowances for trade and unbilled
receivables.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required
payments. If a trade receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, the receivable is charged-off against allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers
the following factors when determining if collection of revenue is reasonably assured: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer,
customer solvency and changes in customer payment terms. If the Company has no previous experience with the customer, the Company typically obtains
reports from various credit organizations to ensure that the customer has a history of paying its creditors. The Company may also request financial
information, including financial statements or other documents to ensure that the customer has the means of making payment. If these factors do not indicate
collection is reasonably assured, the Company may require a prepayment or other arrangement to support revenue recognition and recording of a trade
receivable. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional
allowances would be required.
Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts include the effect, if dilutive, of the Company's outstanding stock options, restricted stock and convertible
securities under the treasury stock method. Currently issued and outstanding shares of restricted stock remain subject to vesting requirements. The Company
is required to compute earnings per share amounts under the two class method in periods with earnings. Holders of shares of unvested restricted stock are
entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights as holders of outstanding common stock and are thus considered participating securities. Under applicable
accounting guidance, undistributed earnings, if any, for each period are allocated based on the participation rights of both the common stockholders and
-72-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
holders of any participating securities as if earnings for the respective periods had been distributed. Because both the liquidation and dividend rights are
identical, undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis.
The presentation of basic EPS amounts on the face of the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is computed by dividing the net income or
loss applicable to the Company's common stockholders by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted EPS is
similar to basic EPS, except that the denominator includes dilutive common stock equivalents and the income or loss included in the numerator excludes the
impact, if any, of dilutive common stock equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of share-based payments is estimated using the quoted market price of the Company's common stock and pricing models as of the date of
grant as further discussed in Note 12, "Long-Term Incentive and Deferred Compensation Plans." The resulting cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period. In addition to service-based
awards, the Company issues performance-based awards, which are conditional based upon Company performance and may vest in an amount that will depend
on the Company's achievement of specified performance objectives.
Guarantees
Some product sales in the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment are sold with an assurance warranty, generally ranging from 12 to 18 months. Parts
and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. Warranty provisions are estimated based upon historical experience by product,
configuration and geographic region.
During the ordinary course of business, the Company also provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties as required
for certain transactions initiated by either the Company or its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2019, the maximum potential amount of future payments that
the Company could be required to make under these guarantee agreements (letters of credit) was $19.3 million. The Company has not recorded any liability in
connection with these guarantee arrangements. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is
likely that any material amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee arrangements.
Accounting for Contingencies
The Company has contingent liabilities and future claims for which estimates of the amount of the eventual cost to liquidate such liabilities are accrued.
These liabilities and claims sometimes involve threatened or actual litigation where damages have been quantified and an assessment of exposure has been
made and recorded in an amount estimated to cover the expected loss. Other claims or liabilities have been estimated based on their fair value or
management's experience in such matters and, when appropriate, the advice of outside counsel or other outside experts. Upon the ultimate resolution of these
uncertainties, future reported financial results will be impacted by the difference between the accruals and actual amounts paid in settlement. Examples of
areas with important estimates of future liabilities include duties, income taxes, litigation, insurance claims, warranty claims, contractual claims and
obligations and discontinued operations.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless
otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases which, as amended, introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all
leases that are not short-term in nature. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method of recognizing any
cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative impact of the adoption of the new
standard was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. In addition, the Company
elected a package of practical expedients permitted under transition guidance for the new standard which, among other things, allowed for the carryforward of
historical lease classification. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease
component. Most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. Therefore, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, based on available
information at the lease commencement date, is used to determine the present value of lease payments.
-73-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
In connection with the adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded $47.7 million of operating lease assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019.
The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated statement of operations and had no impact on cash flows. As of December 31, 2019, net
operating lease assets and liabilities totaled $43.6 million and $44.1 million, respectively.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded the previous revenue
recognition guidance, using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. Based on analysis of existing
contracts with customers, the Company concluded that the cumulative impact of the new standard was not material to its consolidated financial statements
through January 1, 2018.

For the majority of contracts with customers, the Company receives payments based upon established contractual terms as products are delivered and
services are performed. The Company's larger project-related contracts within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment often provide for customer
payments as milestones are achieved.
Contract assets relate to the Company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 on certain project-
related contracts within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. Contract assets are transferred to unbilled or trade receivables when the right to
consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers (i.e. milestone payments) for
contracts for project-driven products as well as others which require significant advance investment in materials. Consistent with industry practice, the
Company classifies assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts as current, even though some of these amounts may not be realized within one year. All
contracts are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in a net asset (contract asset) or liability (deferred revenue) position on a contract-by-contract basis
at the end of each reporting period. In the normal course of business, the Company also receives advance consideration from customers on many other short-
term, smaller product and service contracts which is deferred and recognized as revenue once the related performance obligation is satisfied.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the $4.8 million net increase in contract assets was primarily attributable to $25.0 million in revenue recognized
during the year, which was partially offset by $20.0 million transferred to accounts receivable. Deferred revenue increased by $3.6 million in 2019, reflecting
$12.2 million in new customer billings which were not recognized as revenue during the year, partially offset by the recognition of $8.5 million of revenue
that was deferred at the beginning of the period.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the $20.0 million net decrease in contract assets was primarily attributable to $17.7 million in revenue recognized
during the year, which was more than offset by $38.0 million transferred to accounts receivable. Deferred revenue decreased by $4.1 million in 2018,
reflecting the recognition of $11.1 million of revenue that was deferred at the beginning of the period, partially offset by $7.4 million in new customer billings
which were not recognized as revenue during the year.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company made the strategic decision to reduce the scope of its Drilling Services business unit (adjusting from
34 rigs to 9 rigs) due to the ongoing weakness in customer demand for vertical drilling rigs in the U.S. land market, particularly the Permian Basin. As a result
of this decision, the carrying value of 25 rigs which were decommissioned or sold was reduced to their estimated salvage value, resulting in the recognition of
a $25.5 million non-cash impairment charge. Additionally, indicators of impairment were identified for the remaining rigs which the Company plans to
continue operating. The Company performed a fair value assessment on the remaining drilling rigs and recognized an additional non-cash impairment charge
of $8.2 million (a Level 3 fair value measurement). This fixed asset impairment charge was based in part on the estimated future cash flows that these assets
are projected to generate (income approach), which included unobservable inputs that required significant judgments including projected day rates and costs,
rig utilization and remaining economic useful life. The income approach was also weighted with a market approach, which included estimates of the selling
price for each drilling rig, resulting in a fair value measurement of $4.9 million. These non-cash charges totaling $33.7 million are reported in the Drilling
Services business and are separately presented in the consolidated statement of operations. In connection with this fixed asset impairment and as reflected in
the preceding table, the cost basis of drilling rigs (included in machinery and equipment) and other fixed assets, along with related accumulated depreciation,
were both reduced by a total of $257.8 million in 2019.
During 2018, the Company and its insurance carriers reached a final settlement on flood insurance claims resulting from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. In
connection with this settlement, the Company's Offshore/Manufactured Products segment recognized a gain of $3.8 million following the remediation and
repair of buildings and equipment and, to a lesser extent, the disposal of equipment damaged beyond repair. This gain is reported as other operating income in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Depreciation expense was $96.5 million, $97.2 million and $99.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On January 12, 2018, the Company acquired GEODynamics for a purchase price consisting of (i) $295.4 million in cash (net of cash acquired), which
was funded through borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, "Long-term Debt"), (ii) approximately 8.66 million
shares of the Company's common stock (having a market value of approximately $295 million as of the closing date of the acquisition) and (iii) an unsecured
$25 million promissory note that bears interest at 2.5% per annum. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company is entitled to indemnification in
respect of certain matters occurring prior to acquisition and payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in part or in full, in respect of such
indemnified matters. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies."
GEODynamics' results of operations (reported as the Downhole Technologies segment) have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements subsequent to the closing of the acquisition on January 12, 2018.
Falcon Acquisition
On February 28, 2018, the Company acquired Falcon, a full-service provider of flowback and well testing services for the separation and recovery of
fluids, solid debris and proppant used during hydraulic fracturing operations. Falcon provides additional scale and diversity to Completion Services' well
testing operations in key shale plays in the United States. The purchase price was $84.2 million (net of cash acquired). The Falcon acquisition was funded by
borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company is entitled to indemnification in respect
of certain matters occurring prior to the acquisition. Falcon's results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements and
have been reported within the Completion Services business subsequent to the closing of the acquisition on February 28, 2018.

In accordance with FASB issued guidance, the 8.66 million shares of common stock issued by the Company were valued at $34.05 per share, the closing price
of the Company's common stock on January 12, 2018. The Company's common stock price was $23.40 per share on December 12, 2017, when it entered into
the definitive agreement to purchase GEODynamics.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company expensed $3.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in transaction-related costs
incurred in connection with the acquisitions of GEODynamics and Falcon, which are included within selling, general and administrative expense and within
other operating (income) expense, net.

During 2017, the Company invested a total of $12.9 million in cash in connection with the acquisitions discussed below.
In January 2017, the Company's Offshore/Manufactured Products segment acquired the intellectual property and assets of complementary product lines
to its global crane manufacturing and service operations. The acquisition included adding active heave compensation technology and knuckle-boom crane
designs to its existing portfolio.
In April 2017, the Company's Offshore/Manufactured Products segment acquired assets and intellectual property that are complementary to its riser
testing, inspection and repair service offerings. This complementary technology allows the segment to provide automated inspection techniques either on
board an offshore vessel or on the quayside, without the requirements to transport to a facility to remove the buoyancy materials.
6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the "reporting unit" level using a fair value approach. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a
business one level below that operating segment (the "component" level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management
at the component level.
The Company has three reporting units – Completion Services, Downhole Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products – with goodwill balances
totaling $646.7 million as of September 30, 2019. Goodwill is allocated to each reporting unit based on acquisitions made by the Company. In accordance
with current accounting guidance, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather assesses goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs
or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill
is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recorded.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, U.S. land-based completion activity declined significantly from levels experienced over the previous three quarters.
Additionally, a number of other market indicators declined to levels not experienced in recent years. Consistent with other oilfield service industry peers, the
Company's stock price declined and its market capitalization was below the carrying value of stockholders' equity. Given current market conditions, the
Company reduced its near-term outlook for demand related to its short-cycle products and services in the U.S. shale play regions. This refined outlook was
incorporated in the December 1, 2019 annual impairment assessment, which indicated that the fair value of the Downhole Technologies segment was less
than its carrying amount.

OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Management utilizes, depending on circumstances, a combination of valuation methodologies including a market approach and an income approach, as
well as guideline public company comparables. The valuation techniques used in the December 1, 2019 assessment were consistent with those used during
previous testing, except for the Downhole Technologies reporting unit where the income approach was used to estimate its fair value – with the market
approach used only to validate the results in 2019. The fair value of the Company's reporting units were determined using significant unobservable inputs (a
Level 3 fair value measurement).
The income approach estimates the fair value of each reporting unit by discounting the Company's current forecast of future cash flows by its estimate of
the discount rate (or expected return) that a market participant would require. The starting point for each reporting unit's forecasted cash flows was based on
the reporting unit's 2020 operating plan. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash flow results. The
market approach involves judgment in the selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples.
Significant assumptions used in the income approach include, among others, the estimated future net annual cash flows and discount rates for each
reporting unit. Management selected estimates used in the discounted cash flow projections using historical data as well as current and anticipated market
conditions and estimated growth rates. These estimates are based upon assumptions that consider published industry trends and market forecasts of
commodity prices, rig count, well count and offshore/onshore drilling and completion spending, and are believed to be reasonable. However, given the
inherent estimation uncertainty in the assumptions underlying a discounted cash flow analysis, actual conditions may differ materially from the Company's
estimates, which could result in additional impairment charges.
Based on this quantitative assessment, the Company concluded that the goodwill amount recorded in its Downhole Technologies reporting unit was
partially impaired and recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $165.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. This impairment charge did not
impact the Company's liquidity position, its debt covenants or cash flows. Following the impairment charge, the Downhole Technologies reporting unit did
not have a fair value substantially in excess of its carrying amount. The fair value of the Completion Services and Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting
units exceeded their carrying amounts by 24% and 38% respectively, as of December 1, 2019.
The discount rates used to value the Company's reporting units ranged between 12.5% and 13.0%. Holding all other assumptions and inputs used in each
of the respective discounted cash flow analysis constant, a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption would have increased the goodwill
impairment charge by approximately $28 million.
The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if there are indicators of impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, are written down to fair
value based on either appraised values or discounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, no provisions for impairment of other intangible assets
were required.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company's senior secured revolving credit facility, as amended (the "Revolving Credit Facility") is governed by a credit agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto and collateral agent for the secured parties thereunder, and the lenders and other financial
institutions from time to time party thereto, dated as of January 30, 2018, as amended and restated (the "Credit Agreement"), and matures on January 30,
2022. The Credit Agreement governs the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for $350 million in lender
commitments with an option to increase the maximum borrowings to $500 million subject to additional lender commitments prior to its maturity on
January 30, 2022. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $51.9 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $19.3 million of outstanding
letters of credit, leaving $131.1 million available to be drawn. The total amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility was less than the
lender commitments as of December 31, 2019, due to limits imposed by maintenance covenants in the Credit Agreement.
Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 3.00%, or at a base rate plus a margin of
0.75% to 2.00%, in each case based on a ratio of the Company's total net funded debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The
Company must also pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.50%, based on the Company's ratio of total net funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, on
the unused commitments under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. Specifically, the Company must maintain an interest coverage ratio,
defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio, defined as the
ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 2.25 to 1.0 and a total net leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total net funded debt
to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 3.75 to 1.0. The financial covenants give pro forma effect to acquired businesses and the annualization of
EBITDA for acquired businesses.
-81-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Each of the factors considered in the calculation of these ratios are defined in the Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA and consolidated interest, as
defined, exclude non-cash goodwill and fixed asset impairment charges, losses on extinguishment of debt, debt discount amortization, stock-based
compensation expense and other non-cash charges.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of its domestic subsidiaries.
The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its significant domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also contains negative
covenants that limit the Company's ability to borrow additional funds, encumber assets, pay dividends, sell assets and enter into other significant transactions.
Under the Credit Agreement, the occurrence of specified change of control events involving the Company would constitute an event of default that would
permit the banks to, among other things, accelerate the maturity of the facility and cause it to become immediately due and payable in full.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
1.50% Convertible Senior Notes
On January 30, 2018, the Company issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes")
pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2018 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Net
proceeds from the Notes, after deducting issuance costs, were approximately $194 million, which was used by the Company to repay a portion of the
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2018.
During 2019, the Company repurchased $7.8 million in principal amount of the outstanding Notes for $6.7 million, which approximated the net carrying
amount of the related liability.
The initial carrying amount of the Notes recorded in the consolidated balance sheet was less than the $200 million in principal amount of the Notes, in
accordance with applicable accounting principles, reflective of the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have a conversion feature.
The Company recorded the value of the conversion feature as a debt discount, which is amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes, with a
similar amount allocated to additional paid-in capital. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense the Company recognizes related to the Notes for
accounting purposes is based on an effective interest rate of approximately 6.0%, which is greater than the cash interest payments the Company is obligated to
pay on the Notes. Interest expense associated with the Notes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $10.2 million and $9.0 million,
respectively, while the related contractual cash interest expense totaled $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year,
beginning on August 15, 2018. In addition, additional interest and special interest may accrue on the Notes under certain circumstances as described in the
Indenture. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The initial conversion rate is 22.2748 shares of
the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $44.89 per share of common
stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the Indenture. The Company's intent
is to repay the principal amount of the Notes in cash and the conversion feature in shares of the Company's common stock.

Noteholders may convert their Notes, at their option only in the following circumstances: (1) if the last reported sale price per share of the Company's
common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the
last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading
day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each
trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock on such
trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company's common stock,
as described in the Indenture; or (4) if the Company calls the Notes for redemption, or at any time from, and including, November 15, 2022 until the close of
business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as
applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election, based on the applicable
conversion rate(s). If the Company elects to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, then the consideration due upon conversion
will be based on a defined observation period.
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 15, 2021, at a cash
redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date,
but only if the last reported sale price per share of common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days during the 30
consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice.
If specified change in control events involving the Company as defined in the Indenture occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase
their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, the Notes
contain certain events of default as set forth in the Indenture. As of December 31, 2019, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert, or
requiring the Company to repurchase the Notes, had been met.
Promissory Note
In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, the Company issued a $25.0 million promissory note that bears interest at 2.50% per annum and was
scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019. Payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in part or in full, against certain indemnification claims
related to matters occurring prior to the Company's acquisition of GEODynamics. As more fully described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies,"
the Company has provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the seller of GEODynamics. As a result, the maturity date of the note is
extended until the resolution of these indemnity claims. The Company expects that the amount ultimately paid in respect of such note will be reduced as a
result of these indemnification claims.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted Tax Reform Legislation which resulted in significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including
certain key federal income tax provisions applicable to multinational companies such as the Company. These changes included, among others, the
implementation of a territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory tax on undistributed foreign earnings of subsidiaries and a reduction in the U.S.
corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% beginning in 2018.
As a result of these U.S. tax law changes, during 2017 the Company recorded a net provisional charge of $28.2 million within income tax provision,
consisting primarily of incremental income tax expense of $41.4 million related to the one-time, mandatory transition tax on the Company's unremitted
foreign subsidiary earnings (the "Transition Tax") and a valuation allowance established against the Company's foreign tax credit carryforwards which were
recorded as assets prior to Tax Reform Legislation, offset by a tax benefit of $13.2 million related the remeasurement of the Company's U.S. net deferred tax
liabilities based on the new 21% U.S. corporate income tax rate. The Company did not incur a material cash tax payable with respect to the Transition Tax.
During 2018, the Company adjusted its December 2017 provisional estimates with respect to Tax Reform Legislation resulting in an income tax benefit of
$5.8 million.
The Company had $166.3 million of U.S. federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards as of December 31, 2019, which can be carried forward
indefinitely. Approximately $106.2 million of the U.S. federal NOL carryforwards are attributable to the acquired GEODynamics operations and are subject
to certain limitation provisions. The Company's state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2019 totaled $138.5 million, of which $15.0 million are
attributable to the acquired GEODynamics operations and are subject to certain limitation provisions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had NOL
carryforwards related to certain of its international operations totaling $39.2 million, of which $18.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely. As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had recorded valuation allowances of $15.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively, with respect to state and
foreign NOL carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company's foreign tax credit carryforwards totaled $20.4 million. These foreign tax credits will expire in varying amounts
from 2021 to 2026. As discussed above, as a result of the enactment of Tax Reform Legislation, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on these
foreign tax credits in 2017 due to uncertainties with respect to its ability to utilize such credits in future periods.

The Company files tax returns in the jurisdictions in which they are required. These returns are subject to examination or audit and possible adjustment as
a result of assessments by taxing authorities. The Company believes that it has recorded sufficient tax liabilities and does not expect that the resolution of any
examination or audit of its tax returns will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition or liquidity.
Tax years subsequent to 2013 remain open to U.S. federal tax audit. Foreign subsidiary federal tax returns subsequent to 2012 are subject to audit by
various foreign tax authorities.
Uncertain tax positions are accounted for using a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to
be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was nil. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the Company's provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no accrued
interest expense or penalties.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 25 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, authorized, with no shares issued or
outstanding.
The Company maintains a share repurchase program which was extended to July 29, 2020 by the Company's Board of Directors. During 2019, the
Company repurchased 51 thousand shares of common stock at a total cost of $0.8 million. During 2018, there were no repurchases of common stock under
the program. During 2017, the Company repurchased 562 thousand shares of common stock at a total cost of $16.2 million. The amount remaining under the
current share repurchase authorization as of December 31, 2019 was $119.8 million. Subject to applicable securities laws, any purchases will be at such times
and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased from $71.4 million at December 31, 2018 to $67.7 million at December 31, 2019, due primarily to
changes in currency exchange rates. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is primarily related to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S.
dollar as used to translate certain international operations. For 2019 and 2018, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other
comprehensive loss were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the exchange rate of the British
pound strengthened by 4% compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real weakened by 4% compared to the U.S. dollar during the same period,
contributing to other comprehensive income of $3.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the exchange rate of the British pound and the
Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar weakened by 6% and 14%, respectively, contributing to other comprehensive loss of $12.9 million.

The calculation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 excluded 659 thousand shares, 696 thousand shares
and 709 thousand shares, respectively, issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards, due to their antidilutive effect. Additionally,
shares issuable upon conversion of the 1.50% convertible senior notes were not convertible and were, therefore, excluded for the year ended December 31,
2019, due to their antidilutive effect.
12. Long-Term Incentive and Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the
award. The fair value of service-based restricted stock awards is determined by the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
The fair value of performance-based restricted awards in 2017 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model due to the inclusion of performance
metrics that are not based solely on the performance of the Company's common stock. The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using option-
pricing models. The resulting cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 totaled $16.8 million, $22.6 million and
$23.0 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Awards
The restricted stock program consists of a combination of service-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. The number of
performance-based restricted shares ultimately issued under the program is dependent upon achievement of predefined specific performance objectives
generally measured over a three-year period. The performance objectives for performance-based stock units granted during 2019 and 2018 are based on the
Company's EBITDA growth rate over a three-year period. The performance objective for the 2017 awards is relative total stockholder return compared to a
peer group of companies.
In the event the predefined targets are exceeded for any performance-based award, additional shares up to a maximum of 200% of the target award may
be granted. Conversely, if actual performance falls below the predefined target, the number of shares vested is reduced. If the actual performance falls below
the threshold performance level, no restricted shares will vest. Service-based restricted stock awards generally vest on a straight-line basis over their term,
which is generally three to four years.

target.
The total fair value of restricted stock awards that vested in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $18.2 million, $19.4 million and $17.5 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2019, there was $14.0 million of total compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock awards not yet recognized, which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.
At December 31, 2019, approximately 1.7 million shares were available for future grant under the Oil States International, Inc. 2018 Equity Participation
Plan.
Stock Options
The Company has not awarded stock options since 2015. The fair value of historical option grants were estimated on the date of grant using a Black
Scholes Merton option pricing model. No options were exercised in 2019, 2018 or 2017. The following table presents the changes in stock options

During 2019 and 2018, the Company issued conditional long-term cash incentive awards ("Cash Awards") of approximately $1.3 million each year, with
the ultimate dollar amount to be awarded ranging from zero to a maximum of $2.7 million. The performance measure for these Cash Awards is relative total
stockholder return compared to a peer group of companies measured over a three-year period. The obligation related to the Cash Awards is classified as a
liability and recognized over the vesting period. The ultimate dollar amount to be awarded for the 2019 Cash Awards is limited to their targeted award value
($1.3 million) if the Company's total stockholder return is negative over the three-year performance period.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") that permits eligible employees and directors to
elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of their directors' fees and/or salary and annual bonuses. Employee contributions to the Deferred Compensation
Plan are matched by the Company at the same percentage as if the employee was a participant in the Company's 401(k) Retirement Plan and was not subject
to the IRS limitations on match-eligible compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan also permits the Company to make discretionary contributions to
any employee's account, although none have been made to date. Directors' contributions are not matched by the Company. Since inception of the
-89-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
plan, this discretionary contribution provision has been limited to a matching of the participants' contributions on a basis equivalent to matching permitted
under the Company's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. The vesting of contributions to the participants' accounts is also equivalent to the vesting requirements
of the Company's 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan does not have dollar limits on tax-deferred contributions. The assets of
the Deferred Compensation Plan are held in a Rabbi Trust (the "Trust") and, therefore, are available to satisfy the claims of the Company's creditors in the
event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. Participants have the ability to direct the Plan Administrator to invest the assets in their individual
accounts, including any discretionary contributions by the Company, in over 30 preapproved mutual funds held by the Trust which cover a variety of
securities and mutual funds. In addition, participants currently have the right to request that the Plan Administrator re-allocate the portfolio of investments
(i.e. cash or mutual funds) in the participants' individual accounts within the Trust. Company contributions are in the form of cash. Distributions from the plan
are generally made upon the participants' termination as a director and/or employee, as applicable, of the Company. Participants receive payments from the
Deferred Compensation Plan in cash. As of December 31, 2019, Trust assets totaled $22.3 million, the majority of which is classified as "Other noncurrent
assets" in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the investments was based on quoted market prices in active markets (a Level 1 fair
value measurement). Amounts payable to the plan participants at December 31, 2019, including the fair value of the shares of the Company's common stock
that are reflected as treasury stock, was $22.3 million and is classified as "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company
accounts for the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with current accounting standards regarding the accounting for deferred compensation
arrangements where amounts earned are held in a Rabbi Trust and invested.
Increases or decreases in the value of the Trust assets, exclusive of the shares of common stock of the Company held by the Trust, have been included as
compensation adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the deferred compensation liability,
including the shares of common stock of the Company held by the Trust, while recorded as treasury stock, are also included as compensation adjustments in
the consolidated statements of operations.
13. Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans. Participation in these plans is available to substantially all employees. The Company recognized
expenses of $9.5 million, $8.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively, related to matching contributions under its various defined contribution plans during the
years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Following the Company's acquisition of GEODynamics in January 2018, the Company determined that certain steel products historically imported by
GEODynamics from China for use in its manufacturing process may potentially be subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties based on recent
clarifications/decisions rendered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Court of International Trade. Following these findings, the Company
commenced an internal review of this matter and ceased further purchases of these potentially affected Chinese products. As part of the Company's internal
review, the Company engaged trade counsel and decided to voluntarily disclose this matter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September 2018. In
connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, the seller agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against certain claims related to matters such
as this, and the Company has provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the seller. Additionally, the Company is able to set-off payments
due under the $25.0 million promissory note (see Note 7, "Long-term Debt") issued to the seller of GEODynamics in respect of indemnification claims which
could affect both the timing of payment and the amount due under the promissory note. Such note was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019, but, because the
Company has provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims, the maturity date of the note is extended until the resolution of such claims. The
Company expects that the amount ultimately paid in respect of such note will be reduced as a result of these indemnification claims.
Additionally, in the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions,
as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state and local levels. In past years, a number of lawsuits
were filed in Federal Court, against the Company and/or one of its subsidiaries, by current and former employees alleging violations of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (the "FLSA"). The Company reached a final settlement for the remaining individual plaintiffs' claims in 2018.
The Company is a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning
its commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a
result of the Company's products or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to the acquisition of businesses (including
GEODynamics and Falcon), and some relate to businesses the Company has sold. In certain cases, the Company is entitled to indemnification from the sellers
of businesses and, in other
-90-
OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
cases, the Company has indemnified the buyers of businesses. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and
administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the
outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
15. Segments and Related Information
As further discussed in Note 5, "Business Acquisitions," on January 12, 2018 the Company completed the GEODynamics Acquisition, which, beginning
in the first quarter of 2018, is reported as a separate business segment under the name "Downhole Technologies." Following this acquisition, the Company
operates through three reportable segments: Well Site Services, Downhole Technologies and Offshore/Manufactured Products. The Company's reportable
segments represent strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately as each business requires different
technologies and marketing strategies. Recent acquisitions, except for the GEODynamics Acquisition, have been direct extensions to existing business
segments. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The Well Site Services segment provides a broad range of equipment and services that are used to drill for, establish and maintain the flow of oil and
natural gas from a well throughout its life cycle. In this segment, operations primarily include completion-focused equipment and services as well as land
drilling services. The Completion Services operations provide solutions to its customers using its completion tools and highly-trained personnel throughout its
service offerings which include wireline support, frac stacks, isolations tools, extended reach tools, ball launchers, well testing and flowback operations, thru
tubing activity and sand control. Drilling Services provides land drilling services for shallow to medium depth wells in the United States. Separate business
lines within the Well Site Services segment have been disclosed to provide additional detail with respect to its operations.
Following the closing of the GEODynamics Acquisition on January 12, 2018, the Downhole Technologies segment provides oil and gas perforation
systems and downhole tools in support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. This segment designs, manufactures and
markets its consumable engineered products to oilfield service as well as exploration and production companies, which are completing complex wells with
longer lateral lengths, increased frac stages and more perforation clusters to increase unconventional well productivity.
The Offshore/Manufactured Products segment designs, manufactures and markets capital equipment utilized on floating production systems, subsea
pipeline infrastructure, and offshore drilling rigs and vessels, along with short-cycle and other products. Driven principally by longer-term customer
investments for offshore oil and natural gas projects, project-driven product revenues include flexible bearings, advanced connector systems, high-pressure
riser systems, deepwater mooring systems, cranes, subsea pipeline products and blow-out preventer stack integration. Short-cycle products manufactured by
the segment include valves, elastomers and other specialty products generally used in the land-based drilling and completion markets. Other products
manufactured and offered by the segment include a variety of products for use in industrial, military and other applications outside the oil and gas industry.
The segment also offers a broad line of complementary, value-added services including specialty welding, fabrication, cladding and machining services,
offshore installation services, and inspection and repair services.
Corporate information includes corporate expenses, such as those related to corporate governance, stock-based compensation and other infrastructure
support, as well as impacts from corporate-wide decisions for which individual operating units are not evaluated.

No customer individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's 2019 consolidated revenues or individually accounted for greater than 10%
of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2019. One customer accounted for 10% of the Company's 2018 consolidated revenues
and whose receivables individually accounted for 11% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2018. One customer accounted
for 16% of the Company's 2017 consolidated revenues.
For the Company's Well Site Services segment, substantially all depreciation and amortization expense relates to cost of services while substantially all
depreciation and amortization expense for the Downhole Technologies segment relates to cost of products. The Offshore/Manufactured Products segment has
numerous facilities around the world that generate both product and service revenues, and it is common for the segment to provide both installation and other
services for products manufactured by this segment. While substantially all depreciation and amortization expense for the Offshore/Manufactured Products
segment relates to cost of revenues, it does not segregate or capture depreciation or amortization expense of intangible assets between product and service
cost. Operating income (loss) excludes equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates, which is immaterial and not reported separately herein.
