Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “FET,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.
Change of Segment
In the first quarter 2024, following the acquisition (the “Variperm Acquisition”) of Variperm Holdings Ltd. ("Variperm"), we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers and the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Refer to Note 10 Business Segments for the product lines making up each segment. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which the Company adopts 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.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting (Topic 280). In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. This update is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes (Topic 740). In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which improves income tax disclosures. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Disaggregated Revenue
Refer to Note 10 Business Segments for disaggregated revenue by product line and geography.
Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, the Company records a contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our contract assets decreased by $2.2 million and our contract liabilities decreased nominally primarily due to the timing of milestone billings for projects in our Subsea product line. The noncurrent portion of contract assets is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term assets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $7.1 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period.
Substantially all of our contracts are less than one year in duration. As such, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if such obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
4. Acquisition
On January 4, 2024, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Variperm in the Variperm Acquisition. Variperm, headquartered in Canada, is a manufacturer of downhole technology solutions, providing sand and flow control products for heavy oil applications.
Total consideration for the Variperm Acquisition included approximately $150.0 million of cash and 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In connection with the closing, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company borrowed $90.0 million under its senior secured asset-based lending facility (“Credit Facility”) on January 2, 2024 and entered into a $60.0 million second lien seller term loan credit agreement (“Seller Term Loan”) on January 4, 2024. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of working capital adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized acquisition-related costs of $1.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for consulting fees and other costs expensed as transaction expenses. The acquisition of business on the statement of cash flow is presented net of the cash and cash equivalents acquired.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The following table summarizes the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of consideration transferred is based on management's estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to change upon final valuation and should be treated as preliminary values. Management estimated that consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Therefore, goodwill of $63.9 million was recorded, most of which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final allocation of purchase consideration could include changes in the estimated fair value of inventories; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets comprising of customer relationships, backlog and trade names; deferred income taxes; and leases. The Company has preliminarily estimated the useful lives of customer relationships, backlog and trade names as approximately eight years, two years and eight years, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

$
198,694
The excess of the total equity value of Variperm based on the purchase consideration over net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to revenue synergies and assembled workforce expected to be realized from the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Variperm Acquisition are amortized on a straight-line basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized. Acquired goodwill and intangibles relate to our Downhole reporting unit and Downhole asset group.
The fair value for trade names were estimated using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or licenses fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The fair value of customer relationships and backlog were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earning method model estimates revenues and cash flows derived from the asset and then deducts portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets. The resulting cash flow, which is attributable solely to the asset acquired, is then discounted at a rate of return commensurate with the risk of the asset to calculate the present value.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The contributed revenues and net income to the Company of the acquired Variperm business, for the period from January 4, 2024 to June 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

2025 Notes
Our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (“2025 Notes”), of which $121.2 million principal amount was outstanding at June 30, 2024, pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. In January 2023, $122.8 million or 48% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes mandatorily converted into approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate $13.0 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $13.0 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $12.5 million, resulting in a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we issued a notice of redemption for $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes with a redemption date of August 16, 2024.
Seller Term Loan
On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Seller Term Loan in connection with the closing of the Variperm Acquisition, which had an initial principal amount of $60.0 million and matures in December 2026. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of purchase price adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million. The Seller Term Loan bears interest at the rate of (i) 11.00% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date to (but excluding) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 17.00% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 17.50% per annum for the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the maturity date. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty.
The Seller Term Loan requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing at the time excess availability is less than the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million and continuing until excess availability exceeds the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million for 60 consecutive days. “Line Cap” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Facility.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Seller Term Loan are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions pursuant to certain intercreditor arrangements.
The Seller Term Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness and bankruptcy-related defaults.
Credit Facility
Our Credit Facility matures on the earliest of (a) September 8, 2028, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of 2025 Senior Notes (which will not apply if the 2025 Senior Notes are repaid prior to such 91st day) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Seller Term Loan if the outstanding aggregate principal amount thereunder is equal to or greater than $30.0 million. The Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $50.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million.
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of June 30, 2024, our total borrowing base was $193.4 million, of which $72.8 million amount was drawn and $17.5 million was used as security for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $103.1 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the “prime rate” of interest announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our Canadian borrowers’ option, either (a) Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian Line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the Floor, (ii) the one-month CORRA, and (iii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 8.45% and 8.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $31.25 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such threshold for 60 consecutive days.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the Canadian Line, our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions.
The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability (none of which are absolute) to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, pay dividends, make distributions or make other restricted payments, enter into mergers or acquisitions unless certain conditions are satisfied, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions or engage in certain asset dispositions.
If an event of default exists under the Credit Facility, the lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and exercise other rights and remedies. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, however, will be automatically accelerated upon an event of default arising from a bankruptcy or insolvency event. An event of default includes, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts within certain grace periods; representations and warranties proving to be untrue in any material respect; failure to perform or otherwise comply with covenants in the Credit Facility or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to grace periods; cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness if such default occurs at the final maturity of such indebtedness or if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency events; material monetary judgment defaults; invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Facility or any other loan document; and the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Facility).
Other Debt
Other debt consists of various finance leases of equipment.
Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. The Company had $17.5 million and $20.3 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a tax expenseof $2.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a tax expense of $1.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The estimated
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
annual effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction. Finally, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $1.5 million of noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits may occur by the end of 2024 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted, or are expected to enact, legislation to be effective January 1, 2024 with general implementation of a global minimum tax by January 1, 2025. Based on current enacted legislation, we do not expect a material impact on our future effective tax rate.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including, but not limited to, our recent history of pretax losses over the prior three year period, the goodwill and intangible asset impairments for various reporting units, the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the projected future taxable income or loss and tax-planning. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve. As of June 30, 2024, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024.
9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company had $72.8 million and $59.7 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan as of June 30, 2024. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At June 30, 2024, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $121.0 million and $117.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $130.9 million and $127.9 million, respectively.
There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
10. Business Segments
In the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm Acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers and the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Drilling and Completions segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions to the drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets, including applications in oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and communications. The Artificial Lift and Downhole segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions for the artificial lift, production and infrastructure markets.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer distinct products and services. They are managed separately since each business segment requires different marketing strategies. Operating segments have not been aggregated as part of a reportable segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income. This segmentation is representative of the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker and our board of directors make decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. We consider the Chief Operating Decision Maker to be the Chief Executive Officer.
The amounts indicated below as “Corporate” relate to costs and assets not allocated to the reportable segments.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
For further disclosure regarding certain litigation matters, refer to Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we excluded all potentially dilutive restricted shares and stock options in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred for these periods. Diluted earnings per share was calculated using treasury stock method for the restricted shares and stock options.
13. Stockholders' Equity
Stock-based compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 86,391 performance restricted stock units (assuming target performance) to employees that vest based upon the Company's total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of a group of peer companies over three different performance periods. The performance periods run from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026, and 1/3 of each award is allocated to each performance period. The performance restricted stock units may settle for between 0% and 200% of the target units granted.
Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 20,000 time-based restricted stock units to employees that vest after 1 year, and granted 49,180 shares to non-employee members of the Board of Directors that vest after 1 year.
Reclassification of liability-classified awards
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 82,406 performance restricted stock units (assuming target performance) to employees with same terms as the performance restricted stock units above.
Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 168,797 time-based restricted stock units to employees that vest ratably over three years.
These performance and time-based restricted stock units were originally classified as cash-settled liability awards. On May 10, 2024, shareholders approved an additional 800,000 shares to be added to the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan and the fair value of the awards was remeasured as of the same date. In connection with their remeasurement, the Company determined that the awards would be settled in shares instead of cash and they were classified as equity.

Overview
We are a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions aimed at improving the safety, efficiency, and environmental impact of our customers’ operations. Our highly engineered products include capital equipment and consumable products. FET’s customers include oil and natural gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, pipeline and refinery operators, and renewable and new energy companies. Consumable products are used by our customers in drilling, well construction and completion activities and at processing centers and refineries. Our capital products are directed at drilling rig equipment for constructing new or upgrading existing rigs, subsea construction and development projects, pressure pumping equipment, the placement of production equipment on new producing wells, downstream capital projects and capital equipment for renewable energy projects. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, approximately 80% of our revenue was derived from consumable products and activity-based equipment, while the balance was primarily derived from capital products with a small amount from rental and other services.
We expect that the world’s long-term energy demand will continue to rise for many decades. We also expect hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources develop to scale. As such, we remain focused on serving our customers in both oil and natural gas as well as renewable energy applications. We are continuing to develop products to help oil and gas operators lower expenses, increase production and reduce their emissions while also deploying our technologies in renewable energy applications.
In the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm Acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers, our customer base, and the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Refer to Note 10 Business Segments for the product lines making up each segment. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
21
A summary of the products and services offered by each segment is as follows:
•Drilling and Completions. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions to the drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets, including applications in the oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and communications industries. The products and solutions consist primarily of (i) capital equipment and consumable products used in the drilling process; (ii) capital equipment and aftermarket products including subsea remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) and trenchers, submarine rescue vehicles, specialty components and tooling, and technical services; (iii) capital equipment and consumable products sold to the pressure pumping market, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, cooling systems, and high-pressure flexible hoses and flow iron; (iv) wireline cable and pressure control equipment used in the well completion and intervention service markets; and (v) coiled tubing strings and pressure control equipment used in coiled tubing operations, as well as coiled line pipe and related services.
•Artificial Lift and Downhole. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions for the artificial lift, well construction, production and infrastructure markets. The products and solutions consist primarily of: (i) products designed to safeguard artificial lift equipment and downhole cables; (ii) well construction casing and cementing equipment; (iii) customized downhole technology solutions, providing sand and flow control products for heavy oil applications; (iv) engineered process systems, production equipment, as well as specialty separation equipment; and (v) a wide range of industrial valves focused on oil and natural gas as well as power generation, renewable energy and other general industrial applications.
Market Conditions
Generally, demand for our products and services is directly related to our customers’ capital and operating budgets. These budgets are heavily influenced by current and expected energy prices. In addition, demand for our capital products is driven by the utilization of service company equipment. Utilization is a function of equipment capacity and durability in demanding environments.
Compared to 2023 full year average prices, oil and natural gas average prices have remained relatively flat despite tightened supply from OPEC+ production cuts and continued geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East. These tensions could lead to a disruption to world energy markets and international supply chains. Although these near-term macroeconomic events have presented challenges, we expect that the world’s long-term energy demand will continue to rise and may outpace global supply as OPEC+ remains committed to maintaining stable oil prices. We expect that hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources become increasingly prominent.
Average West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and Brent oil prices were higher in the second quarter 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023. In addition, average natural gas prices were lower in the second quarter 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023.
Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which decreased 5.3% during the second quarter 2024 compared to average global rig count during second quarter 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by a decline in North America rig count of 11.6%. International markets are expected to continue to outpace the U.S. in 2024. In the U.S., publicly owned exploration and production companies are expected to continue to exercise disciplined capital spending while privately owned exploration and production companies fluctuate their activity in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices.

Revenue
Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $205.2 million, an increase of $19.8 million, or 10.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our Drilling and Completions and our Artificial Lift and Downhole segments comprised 57.0% and 43.0% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 70.3% and 29.7% of our total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The overall increase in revenue is primarily related to the revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business, partially offset by the decline in U.S. drilling and completions activity in the second quarter 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling and Completions segment — Revenue was $117.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 10.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was driven by a $9.4 million, or 20.9%, decrease in our Drilling product line and a $9.2 million, or 19.8%,decreasein our Stimulation & Intervention product line, primarily due to the decline in U.S. drilling and completions activity. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase of $3.5 million, or 25.9%, in our Subsea product line from higher project revenue recognized from ROVs and an increase of $1.8 million, or 7.0%, in our Coiled Tubing product line from higher international activity.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Revenue was $88.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $33.1 million, or 60.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for our Downhole product line increased by $31.0 million, or 140.5%, primarily due to revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business and an increase in casing equipment sales from increased international activity. Additionally, revenue in our Valve Solutions product line increased $1.7 million,or 10.8%, from higher international activity.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.4 million, a $2.4 million increase compared to an income of $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, segment operating margin percentage was 4.6% compared to 3.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling and Completions segment — Segment operating income was $2.9 million, or 2.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to operating income of $6.6 million, or 5.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $3.8 million decrease in segment operating results is primarily attributable to decreased operating leverage on lower sales volumes of capital equipment and well stimulation products, partially offset by higher coiled tubing sales and higher project revenue in our Subsea product line.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $13.5 million, or 15.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an income of $7.0 million, or 12.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $6.5 million increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Variperm.
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.
Other items not included in segment operating income (loss)
Transaction expenses, gain (loss) on the disposal of assets and other are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains (losses) and other, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We incurred $8.7 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increased borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under the Seller Term Loan entered into in connection with the Variperm Acquisition. See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan.

The foreign exchange gains (losses) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate $13.0 million of principal amount of our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (“2025 Notes”) at approximately par value. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $12.5 million, resulting in a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $2.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $407.6 million, an increase of $33.2 million, or 8.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our Drilling and Completions and our Artificial Lift and Downhole segments comprised 57.9% and 42.1% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 68.7% and 31.3% of our total revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The overall increase in revenue is primarily related to the revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business, partially offset by the decline in U.S. drilling and completions activity in 2024 compared to 2023. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling and Completions segment — Revenue was $236.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 8.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in segment revenue included a $17.9 million, or 19.1%, decrease from the Stimulation & Intervention product line, a $13.2 million, or 15.5%, decrease from the Drilling product line, and a $2.3 million,or 4.5%, decrease from the Coiled Tubing product line, all primarily the result of declining U.S. drilling and completions activity. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $12.5 million, or 47.8%, in our Subsea product line due to higher project revenue recognized from ROVs and cable management systems.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Revenue was $171.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $54.2 million, or 46.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for our Downhole product line increased by $60.0 million, or 132.6%, primarily due to revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business and an increase in casing equipment sales from increased international activity. This increase was partially offset by a $4.8 million, or 14.0% decrease, in sales of our valve products, and $1.0 million, or 2.7%, decrease in sales within our Production Equipment product line.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $18.5 million, a $4.9 million increase compared to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, segment operating margin percentage was 4.5% compared to 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue for the period. The change in operating income for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling and Completions segment — Segment operating income was $7.4 million, or 3.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $11.6 million, or 4.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $4.2 million decrease in segment operating results is primarily attributable to decreased operating leverage from lower sales volumes for capital equipment that was partially offset by higher project revenue in Subsea product line and lower freight costs.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $25.2 million, or 14.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $15.6 million, or 13.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $9.6 million increase in segment operating results was primarily driven by the acquisition of Variperm.
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.
Other items not included in segment operating income (loss)
Transaction expenses, gain (loss) on the disposal of assets and other are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains (losses) and other, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We incurred $17.4 million of interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $8.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increased borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under the Seller Term Loan entered into in connection with the Variperm Acquisition. See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan.
28
The foreign exchange gains (losses) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate $13.0 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes at approximately par value. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $12.5 million, resulting in a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $6.0 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources and uses of liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit Facility, the 2025 Notes and the Seller Term Loan. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, debt repayments and the acquisition of Variperm. We continually monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $121.2 million principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding, $72.8 million of borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and $59.7 million principal amount of the Seller Term Loan outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate $13.0 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we issued a notice of redemption for $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes with a redemption date of August 16, 2024. The 2025 Notes mature in August 2025. The Credit Facility matures on the earliest of (a) September 8, 2028, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of 2025 Senior Notes (which will not apply if the 2025 Senior Notes are repaid prior to to such 91st day) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Seller Term Loan if the outstanding aggregate principal amount thereunder is equal to or greater than $30 million. The Seller Term Loan matures in December 2026. See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the terms for our debt arrangements.
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $31.8 million and $103.1 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we expect total 2024 capital expenditures to be approximately $10.0 million, primarily for replacement of end of life machinery and equipment.
We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce outstanding debt or repurchase shares of our common stock under our repurchase program.
In November 2021, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $10.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not repurchase shares of our common stock and the remaining authorization under this program is $2.4 million.
In January 2024, we completed the Variperm Acquisition for consideration of approximately $150.0 million of cash (subject to customary purchase price adjustments) and 2.0 million shares of our common stock. We may pursue additional acquisitions in the future, which may be funded with cash and/or equity.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash used inoperating activities of $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This improvement in operating cash flow usage is primarily attributable to changes in working capital which provided cash of $10.7 millionfor the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a use of cash of $43.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $154.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly related to Variperm Acquisition of $150.1 million and $4.4 million of capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, including $2.8 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $1.1 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $114.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $4.1 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The change in net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from $72.8 million in borrowings from the revolving Credit Facility and $59.7 million from the Seller Term Loan, partially offset by repurchase of 2025 Notes of $13.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net $10.0 million of borrowings on the revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The Company’s 2025 Notes are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries which are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several.
The guarantees of the 2025 Notes are (i) pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such guarantor, including all obligations under our Credit Facility and the Seller Term Loan; (ii) secured by certain collateral of such guarantor, subject to permitted liens under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes; (iii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of that guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the 2025 Notes (after giving effect to the liens securing our Credit Facility and any other senior liens on the collateral); and (iv) senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that guarantor.
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2025 Notes, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of such notes will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or to any guarantors.
The 2025 Notes guarantees shall each be released upon (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the equity interests of such guarantor after which the applicable guarantor is no longer a subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (iii) legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing such notes; or (iv) dissolution of such guarantor, provided no default or event of default has occurred that is continuing.
The obligations of each guarantor of the 2025 Notes under its guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such guarantor (including, without limitation, any
30
guarantees under the Credit Facility) and any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the applicable indenture, result in the obligations of such guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law. Nonetheless, in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial difficulty of a guarantor, such guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee may be subject to review and avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference, fraudulent transfer and insolvency laws.
